Principles and Goals: The Men’s Movement

PRINCIPI E FINALITA (Principals and Goals of the Men’s Movement)

Written by Rino Della Vecchia

(Translated from the Italian by R. Randazzo)

PRINCIPLES we recognize and affirm:

  1. The existence of natural differences between the
    genders.
  2. The extreme immorality of certain social forces, and at
    the same time, the very real opportunity that these forces
    have to deny, ignore, compromise, and repress these
    differences and any expression of them.
  3. The necessity of cooperation between the genders, and
    at the same time the inevitability of opposition between
    them.
  4. The scientific inconsistency and dubious morality of
    any claim by one gender to describe the state, condition,
    needs, experiences, or the value of the other gender.

THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS

  • We define the current situation in the following terms:
  • For two generations masculinity and the male gender
    have been subject to an all-out attack covering every
    sphere, from the world of images and symbolism to that
    of common everyday existence, applied systematically
    and consistently in every manner and through all means
    of communication and cultural diffusion.
  • The term male-bashing extends itself to aesthetics,
    opposing their attainment by men which includes the
    male body and men’s physicality.
  • Every level and gradation within contemporary culture,
    and every unit that elaborates on or transmits that culture,
    without a single exception, is a tool of this program.
  • This phenomenon is the fundamental cause of
    psychological/emotional harm in individuals and social
    dysfunctions of an ever-increasing gravity, hindering the
    entire male gender and in particular the younger
    generations.

THE VALUE OF FEMININITY

We reject any kind, however indirect, of denigration,
of offensiveness and devaluation, of the ethical, aesthetic,
and intellectual worth of the female gender; we repudiate
any diminution of the symbolic importance of the
feminine, and of the historical importance of female
endeavors visible and invisible, past present and future.

WE PURSUE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES:

  1. The promotion of the essential value of masculinity,
    specifically with regard to personal dignity and the
    irreplaceable role of the masculine in the world of image
    and symbol and of the male gender in every area of life,
    spiritual and material, for the benefit of present and
    future generations.
  2. The identification and condemnation of any instance
    of malebashing in every context, form, or style, and any
    expression of malebashing, direct or indirect, open or
    veiled.
  3. The moral opposition to male-bashing—to the
    denigration and demonization of men, the denigration of
    male sentiments, attributes, opinions and needs, the
    denigration of male contributions and comportment—in
    the media, literature, the arts, political discourse,
    historiography, scientific tracts, text-books, advertising,
    and in every form of expression and means of
    communication.
  4. The restitution of the value and dignity—as well as the
    historic role—of past generations of men, by means of
    the deconstruction of feminist historiography.
  5. The struggle against the cultural ideals of a Feminist
    Society and its basic values— therefore against the following:
  • The principle of the moral, aesthetic and
    intellectual superiority of the female gender;
  • The denial of the existence of anti-male
    hatred;
  • The criminalization both direct and indirect
    of the male gender;
  • The planned inhibition of the development
    of male consciousness;
  • The psychological and chemical emasculation
    of the younger generations;
  • The domestication and docility of men;
  • The use of the male libido for purposes of
    speculation,manipulation, intimidation and
    blackmail;
  • The demand for reparations, material and
    moral, for the wrongs, real or imagined,
    sustained by the female gender;
  • The legal commercialization of sexual
    relations and relations based upon affection;
  • The presumed permissibility of an autocratic
    imposition of behavioral rules upon the male
    gender;
  • The principles of political correctness and
    the imposition of its vocabulary.

    thank god that this site exists. i am just sooo sick of the dismissivness of govts. etc in not realising we are creating a falsely balanced society. i’m sick of the media and advertising viewing men as either socially inept, to be feared, weak or easily led- the list goes on. i don’t find this amusing, as a mother of an 11yo son i find it disturbing. when is society going to realise that a lot of youth problems are of their own making? the self esteem issues faced by men today are in urgent need of support- not ridicule. advertising is encouraging girls to think its funny to belittle boys and take advantage of them. is there any hope out there?

    That’s a good manifesto, very well written.

    Isn’t this all about equal rights and anti-discrimination?

    “deconstruction of feminist historiography”

    I think that a critical analysis of the history of feminism is required. Is there any such analysis on this site? It would make a good link. I’m interested.
