The Wages of Spin
Amfortas, Paul Elam and Christian J. on the Wage Gap Myth. Men do the dirty, dangerous work which pays well while women exercise choices that are more nurturing and 'safe'. The glass ceiling does not exist but the glass cellar does.p

The Family Terrorist
Paul Elam, Amfortas and Christian J show and tell of the damage done within families and society by intransigent people, in this instance Women, who are prepared to destroy their own families to get their own way. Erin Pizzey documented the effects of showing the Truth about violent women, for which she received Feminist death threats. Dr Eric Berne shows several 'Games' used including the 'let's you and him fight' game so common today where cops and courts do the dirty work that leaves children unprotected.

Is Feminism a Hate Movement? Amfortas Amfortas narrates MRA Fidelbogan's well established, clear and logical analysis of the links between the spectrum of disaffection that women have for men and the rise of Feminism.

The Degradation of Women by feminism
"In textbook leftist style, feminist supporters of the play 'Vagina Monologues' cloak their attack on normal family values and morality under the guise of promoting awareness about violence against women. One does not have to be a prude to see a weak excuse for pornography and an anti-male agenda. But to disguise it as 'awareness of abuse', is an abuse of women's minds and sensibilities." Amfortas lauds Bridget Blanton for her stand and protests and against the glorification of lesbian rape of young girls.

Deliberately Lying about Domestic Violence in Australia
Part 1
: The 'women's Safety Survey' was "uncorroborated, biased and manipulated" 'Advocacy research' orchestrated by the Office for the Status of Women and passed off as Bureau of Statistics report. It caused an enormous row, says MRA Amfortas. Manipulated definitions and hysterical claims copied from America made innocuous behaviour criminal. DV sells commercial products to women and expropriates public funds for the fastest growing Industry in Australia.

Part 2: Three other sources of 'official' data which are routinely manipulated and presented to support DV lies are analyzed by Amfortas and compared to Independent University research which completely contradicts the 'official message'. "It would be generous to think that this manipulation and bias was just the result of incompetence. But as we can see there is something far darker behind it. It is corruption. It is deliberate."

Part 3: Christian J narrates how the 2006 Australian Bureau of Statistics Personal Safety Survey completely contradicted the Government's 1996 survey. He also points to the attempts by feminist bureaucrats to manipulate by having ONLY female interviewers to bias the results. Results show women twice as safe as men. The Government has thrown a blanket of silence over it. Feminists maintain an undemocratic stranglehold, expropriating public monies for their anti-male Industry.

Letter to the Editor

A Tribute to Trudy Schuett

August 26, 2002


Editor:

I think it is important to inform your readership of the temporary hiatus in business as usual at desertlightjournal. Its editor, Trudy Schuett, has felt compelled to spend more time devoting her energies to matters that demand her attention. When I corresponded with her directly, she reassured me that the hiatus was temporary, and not related to anything going on in the "father's-dad's-men's-and-whatchamcallit" movement. The web site will stay up and active. She expressed apprehension that if we called too much attention to this change, people on the other side of this movement might see a victory in it for themselves, and construe Trudy's partial absence from DSL as a signal of defeat. She reassured me, and I believe her.
 
Where I disagreed with her was when it came to bestowing upon her the praise she deserves. She feared that even this might be misconstrued by some as a eulogy. I think it is impetative that we do not overlook the significance of her contributions, and the gravity of her loss--even partially, and briefly.  In my own view, the "whatchamcallit" movement (my preferred term) is an attempt to save the next generation from moral, psychological, and spiritual annihilation. That should require a "war," but sadly it does.
 
Many oppose us, for many reasons. The biggest, of course, is that we attack an industry's potential future profits. Our taking these atrocities on is a threat to this multi-trillion dollar international cartel. Persecuting men--ripping away their children, bankrupting them, putting them in jail, and creating an ever expanding list of legal blackballs that will make it impossible for them ever to recover--is, at its core, entirely neutral. Those who do this work are devoid of any opinion. That's where the money is.
 
To paraphrase the interaction in The Godfather between Don Corlione and his son, Michael, who grieves the murder of his brother (and Don Corlione's son), Sonny,  "Remember, Michael, it isn't personal. It's just business."
 
At the top, this is true. Legislators, judges, and a multitude of lawyers and prosecutors earn their living at this. So, too, do the tens of thousands of substandard "treatment centers" (so-called) to which men are sent for probation. New jails must be built, and new prison guards must be hired. Then, of course, there are the psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other pseudo-professionals willing to pander themselves in court to advocate for the cause of the highest bidder.
 
Those who profit most from this massive bureaucracy could care less who is hurt. Certainly, children, to them, are simply pawns. But the neofeminists who think that they are "winning" will see a time when their ardent support vanishes. The moment the industry senses that it might augment its profits by persecuting women, these people will be among the first to be sacrificed. We already see early signs of this. Cops in some cities have grown so disgusted that they are now automatically arresting both spouses in domestic disputes. Who could blame them? But what is less visible is the frenzy of grant applications being filed by these bogus treatment centers to fund the "treatment" of women, too.
 
These entities do not care who wins or loses, much less what is right and wrong. They simply do periodic head counts. Already, they are discerning a potential to double their profits.
 
Those of us who publish in these journals and sites, and sometimes take angry broadsides at one another genuinely care about the issues we support. This is true regardless of which "side" we are on. Those at the top could care less, as long as the war continues. They are like locomotive engineers. They peer in at the fires of our own rage and feel reassured. Plenty of fuel is what they behold, burning nicely.
 
What does this have to do with Trudy? First, there is that one little tad that we're supposed to ignore, it's being politically incorrect and all...She is a woman of great talent giving enormous amounts of time and energy to a "men's" movement. "Well," some may speculate, "probably her husband was a victim." I don't know, but I believe that this conjecture is false. She is fundmentally gender-blind, in my perception. She fights against injustice. She does the right thing, for the right reason, and thus obtains the right result. The president of Stranford University recently discovered that.
 
I contribute a column to DSL. DSL was kind to select my contributions, but I was also very careful in whom I selected to publish them. I, too, was gender-blind. I wanted only the best. She is a superior editor. Her critiques of my work have made me smart from their sting at least as often as they have inclined me to puff my feathers up. That's what I was looking for (though sometimes I wish she had been a little less discerning). Beyond excellence, she brought to the work a gentle patience and compassion that are not gender-neutral. As hateful as the rhetoric becomes in this crucible of warring factions, there was always a quiet sense of gentleness and patience at DSL. It infused the tone of the entire publiction and made it unique. (Get ready, political-correctness freaks, I'm about to toss you a bone). She brought to everything she accomplished, a woman's touch.
 
She assures me that she will "be back flying that bomber" as soon as she can. I believe her. Nor would I be surprised to see that she has tossed fabrics up on the cockpit walls and small paintings to add a touch of color. All the better! We need only become concerned if she puts up draw-string curtains over the windows. For, then, you see, she might inadvertanly occlude the line of vision of those who have their spy satellites trained on us all. Then, she will have posed a threat to those at the top who reap continued profits and could care less who "wins" or "loses." 
 
I once advocated renaming this movement the children's movement. That was until I realized that children comprise a worthless consumer base, and thus are totally expendable. Someone once said, "Kill all the lawyers." I say "Fine, just don't forget the judges." I'm in no danger. I'm bankrupt. But those of us who care should consider carefully--our true enemy is the bean counter at the top. He/she could care less about what we believe in.
 
In the meantime, Trudy has brought a quiet loving charisma to DSL. Hurry back, TS! If you'll promise, I'll try to keep that asparagus fern next to the bomb bay doors alive until you get back.
