Vicitmhood and the benefits – “A Queen For A Day”

Written on February 27, 2015 by Jim Doyle

When I was a little kid there was a show on daytime television called Queen For a Day. Yes, this was a very long time ago and I am that old. The premise was that several contestants, housewives and mothers, would compete for sympathy by telling their tales of woe to the audience – crippled or sick children, disabled husbands, whatever else they could garnish it with – and then after they had all finished their pitches, the audience would applaud each one and an applause meter would register which one had gotten the most sympathy, and could carry off the washing machine and new car and all the other goodies that had been droolingly detailed at the beginning of the show.…

Is this the best they can do?

Written on February 25, 2015 by Jim Doyle

Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ) finally got around to publishing an article on the Men’s Conference A Voice for Men organized and hosted last year. Better late than never, I guess, although you would expect a men’s magazine to be a little more active when it comes to men’s issues.…

Men “objectifying” themselves, loving it the whole time … and a social critic who hasn’t a clue.

Written on February 6, 2015 by Jim Doyle

Mark Simpson has a great article up at OUT about male sports stars strutting their loveliness for their adoring audiences, and guess what? They love it! They find it a source of power! How can that be? We all know that looking at someone’s body is teh heinous!!…

The “fragile male ego”, a sly inversion

Written on January 13, 2015 by Jim Doyle

I ran across a post in the men’s rights subreddit that is emblematic of a very common sly inversion: the assertion that women have to coddle men’s fragile egos. This was by way of saying how very weary this writer was of having to explain all this over and over again to bone-stupid men (the trite, old, worn-out Frazzled Adult “Because I’m the Mommy, That’s Why!” pose so familiar to anyone who has ever engaged with a high-minded gender equality warrior) who somehow did not immediately see and accept the absolute truth of the talking points she had memorized in her catechism.…

Rape apology—A taxonomy

Written on January 5, 2015 by Jim Doyle

Feminist rape apology when it comes to male victims of rape, and especially victims of female perpetrators, comes in various forms.

And by the way, feminists are not at all alone in employing these forms when they make their rape apologist statements or lapse into their rape apologist silence in the face of rape apology from other feminists.…

Orwell’s Nightmare: Coming to Fruition?

Written on December 15, 2014 by Observing Libertarian

Just to show the Orwellian state of things, and how much more like that epic 1984 Feminists are attempting to make western society: I will be responding to an article from mademan.com. Specifically “How to Compliment Women Without Being a Skeeze or Catcaller“.…

Snatching oppression from the jaws of privilege, a sly inversion

Written on by Jim Doyle

There is a very common sly inversion that interprets every benefit that society confers on women as some form or other of oppression. I think what drives it is a gender script that casts women as fragile victims so that people who subscribe to that meme think that failing to identify this victimhood somehow defeminizes a woman.…

Feminist End Game: The Final Solution

Written on December 7, 2014 by Observing Libertarian

I see feminism as being more than simple politics: I see it as a systematic political entity that seeps in through an open crack and eventually infests entire facets of society with systemic bigotry. I also see the organization through the perspective of historical events.…
