A word from a feminist 

"Feminism has achieved much for women, but why did this have to be at the cost of men" she asked.

"We have many wonderful, clever, powerful women everywhere, but what is happening to men?"

"I was in a class of nine and 10-year-olds, girls and boys, and this young woman was telling these kids that the reason for wars was the innately violent nature of men", she said.

"You could see the little girls, fat with complacency and conceit while the little boys sat there crumpled, apologising for their existence, thinking this was going to be the pattern of their lives".

"This kind of thing is happening in schools all over the place and no one says a thing."

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men?..... Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did", Lessing said.

Bombarded with negative images and statistics about male prison rates and rape rates, boys are growing up feeling alienated, frustrated and even suicidal. Before they succumb, they should consider the following:

All of the great inventions and discoveries in history including mathematics, the printing press, electricity and the steam engine were made by men. 

All of the important inventions of the 20th Century that transformed the western world into the comfortable, orderly, civilised and affluent society that it is today were made by men. Think how life would be without electricity, running water, refrigeration, the automobile, the aeroplane, the jet engine and the transistor (forerunner to the amazing array of 21st century electronic entertainment and labour-saving products). 

More than 95 per cent of the houses we live in were built by men who do the back-breaking work of pouring concrete and laying bricks. Men sweat in foundries, pit muscle and sinew against rock in mines and risk death on 40-storey building sites so that their wives and children can live in comfort. Men comprise 95 per cent of all workplace fatalities and the vast majority of work-related injuries.

The legal system that protects women's safety and women's rights was invented by men.

Men have won 95 per cent of all Nobel Prizes ever awarded. No woman has ever won the Nobel prize for economics. Before the feminist warriors get on their high horses and claim that women did not have the opportunities to win prizes, they should bear in mind that the third Nobel prize for physics ever awarded (1903) was won by Marie Curie. In the 100 years since, only one other woman has one the prize for physics.

Boys should ask their tormentors, why is it that that women have created only a tiny fraction of world's great music, great literature and great works of art?

And in what are considered female domains, why is it that men make the best chefs, the best dress designers, the best hairdressers and the best entertainers?

Feminist zealots create an anti-male world

Enough is enough - the put-down of males must cease

In a TV commercial, a clumsy male gawks at his son drawing on the wall, turns away and walks smack into a drawing of a door on the wall, bounces off and ends up spreadeagled on the floor. His equally dorky son squints at him through coke-bottle glasses and resumes drawing. Furniture multinational, Ikea, has joined  the growing list of companies using negative stereotypes of men as bumbling fools to advertise their products.

University texts have become feminised and anti-male. Following university indoctrination, the more activist teachers are disseminating the anti-male propaganda, telling their classes for example, that the reasons for wars is the innately violent nature of men (see left panel, "A word from a feminist"). 

American sitcoms are replete with images of oafish, bumbling males who constantly need assistance from smart, smug females.

American crime shows such as Law & Order - Special Victims Unit depict men as evil rapists and murderers. The male star of SVU takes great delight in slamming each male suspect up against the wall and hissing "you low-life scumbag" in his face. On the rare occasion the detectives apprehend a woman suspect they treat her very gently because there must have been a good reason she murdered her child.

American marketing company, David & Goliath sells T-shirts to 3,000 stores in the US with slogans like "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" and "Boys lie... poke 'em in the eye" (see left panel).

All of the negative images of males is having a devastating effect on the morale of young boys. "They are soaking up these negative images", says Don Bowak, NSW president of the Men's Health and Well-Being Association. "There's huge anger and they don't even know where it is coming from".

Feminism started out as movement designed to redress the imbalance in opportunities and conditions for women, but was hijacked by radical socialists employing Marxist techniques of class warfare to create division between men and women where none had existed. The man-hating, spiky-haired warriors of Lesbos gleefully jumped on the bandwagon. 

Special government agencies

Together these feminazis have lobbied governments to parachute them into special government agencies designed to advance the cause of radical feminism at the expense of men. Male taxpayers are funding a plethora of government bureaucracies such as the Office for Women's Interests and the Sex Discrimination Commission. There is not one agency for men's interests.

So powerful has been their campaign that many compliant men stupidly assist the radical feminists.  The largely male-dominated Family Court awards child custody to women in more than 80 per cent of cases.

Election issue

This must become an election issue. The taxpayer-funded feminist bureaucracies must be disbanded. Men do not want to reverse women's hard-won gains. Normal women do not want to see their husbands vilified and their sons commit suicide. There is no gender war - just a war between spiteful, radical feminists and the rest of society.
