Protest to Be Held Against NY’s Boybashing ‘Coaching Boys into Men’
New York Shared Parenting activist Deborah Fellows says that the NY Coalition of Fathers and Families will be holding a protest against New York’s boybashing “Coaching Boys into Men” campaign. The Campaign portrays boys as proto-abusers, and tells us that “violence against women” is wrong, as opposed to violence, period.
And of course, if it really were a “Domestic Violence Public Awareness Media Campaign,” we’d be made aware that women are just as likely to attack their male partners as vice versa, but any mention of that is strictly verboten.
The campaign’s main poster is pictured above. To watch their TV commercial, click here.
The protest will be held Monday Jan 28, from 7-9am at Latham Circle in Albany, NY, and I’m told that the media will be there. To join the protest, contact Debbie Fellows at dafellows2001@yahoo.com or 518-495-4044. The Coalition of Fathers and Families New York is an affiliate of the American Coalition for Fathers & Children.
The campaign’s radio ad, which can be heard here, says:
“As a dad, you’ll probably spend years teaching your son how to hit a baseball. How to throw a tight spiral and hit a receiver. How to spring off a diving board and hit the water. How to hit a one-wood and a nine-iron. How to hit the bull’s-eye. How to hit the strike zone. Hit a jump shot. Hit the open man. Hit the hockey net. And maybe the most challenging of all, how to hit the books. But the question is this, how much time will you spend teaching him what not to hit?
“Teach your son early and often that all violence against women is wrong. For tips on what to say, visit opdv.state.ny.us. Or call the State’s 24-hour hotline at 1-800-942-6906. Brought to you by the Family Violence Prevention Fund, the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, the Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention, and the Ad Council.”

Brainwashing.

A stage of politico-cultural development has been reached when young boys and male youths must know their enemies from their would-be friends. This is such that they are able to find solidarity amongst themeselves and take necessary political actions that others, even of their own gender, have refused or been unable to take on their behalf.
Its now obvious, this necessary action on behalf of male youths is not going to come from main stream party groups, fathers or uncles have membership of. On the one hand many fathers are of a generation that has forever sold out male birth-rights and privilege to women and girls. That is, with the refrain that its the right thing to do of civilised men. Secondly most middle aged fathers and uncles are on account of their treachery and political betrayal of boys, an impotent force of action. Their weakness for all things female and lack of boundaries concerning their own gender marks them as unfit.
Without any challenge or rebuke from male leaders but on the contrary, their full encouragement, radical feminists have been permitted to target young boys in their vile activities against males. Their idea, being to bastardise as many as possible boys, for mothers profit at fathers expense, in a way most girls wont themeselves experience. Then to pre-criminalise these boys in case they react harshly against that person depriving them of their fathers.
Out of the hundreds and thousands of male political and cultural leaders in the land, not even one has been able to secure for young boys and male youths those rights which are forever granted to females, young and old on account of their sex. These old men cannot be relied on in short, and leaving them to speak on behalf of the whole male population is tantamount to permitting their further selling out the future for male youth.
If you are a mainstream leader of the male sex, know that you dont speak for all males but for only those of your age and mind set. And clear note is taken of your willingness to permit the tarnishing of young boys reputations alongside your own on account of gender so that others continue to profit.

In the ad they forgot to include –
“How to use your superior strength to defend yourself against a violent girl and report her violence to a police officer.”

i don’t trust women. you will not be surprised, therefore, to find out that i don’t put myself in positions where i can be taken advantage of by women. it DOES happen that at times we find ourselves stuck in situations that are unavoidable. working in an enclosed atmosphere with only a female present as an example. younger men have to be smarter and clever than older men (i am 59) because they are the target. i can be pulled over doing 70 but that doesn’t mean i might as well do 90! decrease the odds against you, increase the odds for you. simple. stay single. cackle cackle cackle.

i will offer my services to start a standard protest message here.
it will make them all look like idiots when they march and another march with this message crosses their path… i would dare say that the flow of members would mostly go one way.
here is what should be on signs and T-shirts.
NO ONE HITS ANYONE!!!!!
as a question:
whatever happened to “no one hits anyone”?
NOHA!!!!
you heard it here FIRST…
if they chant “take back the night” we yell NOHA.
if they scream, end violence agaisnt women, we scream NOHA.
we can even take other things and cap them with NOHA
everybodies special
every bodies fine
your bodies special
and so is mine
NOHA

Respect cannot be mandated, it must be earned! More feminist garbage demanding respect, just like they demand privilege and benefits at the expense of men.

“everybodies special

Except, our spelling is better!
