Respected Academics
A 'respected academic' - Dr G. ... DPhil. (Oxon), LL.B.
- writes to me and to others claiming that feminism and Nazism
are not 'similar'.
In my view they are indeed similar, for a
number of reasons; e.g. see my piece entitled Feminism and Nazism.
But this lofty academic is being rude and
condescending towards me. And he suggests that the way forward for the men's
movement is to take heed of "respected academics".
And so I fire off a very hostile email in
reply.
Another activist steps in ...
...
Ouch...Harry
Dr. G is a great Guy...he authored the FIRST
and ONLY report in Canada on MALE GENDER DISCRIMiNATION by the COPS, Crown,
Courts....etc. as compared to Women. which is now accepted by peers..and will be
a GREAT help to ALL men in Canada and no doubt help other MENS Groups in other
Countries get same going...
This report will be out soon....he was kind
enough to send me a copy for my use in a Human Rights Investigation.....
You two guys both have my highest
respect...and I see two different Styles...that's cool...my paltry little
preference would be 4 you both to get along well, as in my books, the both of
you are and have contributed one hell of a lot to the cause in fighting misandry.....

Hi H
The man was being arrogant and rude to me. And
his email to me was full of bullsh*t.
Furthermore, he talks about the need
to listen to "respected academics". Which ones eh?
No. Don't tell me. I know!
The ones with a 'feminist perspective'.
Yep, the Jews could have avoided all their
problems if only they had listened to and consulted with "respected
academics".
This is what he is suggesting.
And so men's activists should do the same.
What a load of rubbish.
And where have the "respected
academics" been for the past three decades?
For example, do we count as "respected
academics" all those alleged experts who never noticed the positively huge
negative effects of fatherlessness staring them in the face for two whole
decades?
Yeah sure. The men's movement will go a long
way by being respectfully academic.
And what about the hugely
"respected" and oft-quoted academics like Steve Jones - who reckon
that all men are parasites?
Perhaps the men's movement should listen to
"respected academics" like him!
Yes indeed. We should advise all men to go out
and shoot themselves to save the Earth from their own diabolically parasitic
presence.
Perhaps we should listen to the
"respected academics" at the Home Office, who think that 'rape' by a
stranger is equivalent to 'rape' within a relationship, and who also assume that
women never lie.
Perhaps we should listen to the
"respected academics" in our educational system - who disadvantage all
the boys.
We don't live in a world governed by
***respectable*** academics. We live in a world governed by politics,
pressure groups, money and self-promotion.
That's the reality!
This guy is living in Cloud-Cuckoo Land.
Yep. There are definitely people who are
reasoned and careful enough in their thinking to consider only the facts rather
than the histrionics.
The trouble is this.
Very few such people
exist, and they are **not** the ones who exert much in the way of power. If they did, feminism (and Nazism) would never
have gotten such a stranglehold in the first place.
He might know a great deal about the law, but he
certainly doesn't know much about human psychology, nor, indeed, about activism.
But he presumes to!
And he does so by being rude and sarcastic in
an attempt to undermine our efforts.
His is a voice that says that the more
strident men's activists are 'missing the plot' and undermining their own
cause by being aggressive towards their opponents.
This is bullsh*t.
It is mostly because of these activists that we are
making any progress at all. And anyone trying to undermine my own efforts
in the eyes of men's activists is going to be undermined by me!
Unsurprisingly.
If he had something decent to say which showed
me to be wrong, I would be extremely eager to hear it, and to absorb it.
I hate to be wrong.
But to receive an arrogant email comprised
SOLELY of shallow, nit-picking, uneducated, sarcastic, dismissive,
unsubstantiated comments - ALL OF WHICH are invalid - and which was obviously
designed **purely** to belittle our efforts and to flatter his own ego - e.g. a
"respected academic" - winds me up.
Further, as you know, there has been
fantastically good work by "respected academics" in connection with
many men's issues (e.g. Gelles on the DV industry, Warren Farrell, Christina
Hoff Sommers etc) going back two decades.
Where did this get us?
Nowhere.
The vast majority of people just ignored their work
completely, and feminism marched onwards absolutely unscathed.
G may have produced a great report about
discrimination against men. But many other "respected academics" have
already done such things in different areas of concern to men. And such reports are simply disappeared
quickly into obscurity unless people like us keep making a fuss on the basis of
them.
I'm afraid that this is the way that the real
world operates nowadays.
Furthermore, "Men are parasites"
according to scientists like Steve Jones and Bryan Sykes.
"Jews are
parasites".
And this man can't see the similarities
between feminism and Nazism?
He must also be autistic!
LOL!
And he tells me that, "The systemic
physical brutality is what *makes* the Nazis the exemplar of their kind. Without it,
*they* wouldn't have been "Nazis," either."
Oh really! So, until the "Nazis"
became 'brutal', they didn't exist!
The "Nazi" party that Hitler began
to lead in 1921 and that started to demonise and discriminate most heavily
against Jews didn't exist!
How strange!
Everyone must have just imagined that it
existed!
It was all a delusion inside their heads.
What nonsense.
Finally, I'm sure that he is a great guy, but
I don't take kindly to anyone, great or not, who tries to make me out to be a
fool unless they have some reasonable justification for doing so and/or some
evidence to back up their claims.
He had neither of these things.
AH
......
Added note:
About two weeks ago, I was conversing with a
highfaluting lawyer in the UK - he might even have been a judge. He was also
making the point that to capture the ear of the judiciary one needed cold
evidence and hard facts etc (as if such a thing is actually possible given the
way in which social science research - most of which is politically motivated -
is conducted; e.g. perverse definitions of domestic violence etc). He said
something like, "Unless you and your men's movement present convincing
evidence to us which is clear and unambiguous, and which argues your case in
measured terms etc etc, then you will not get much support from us."
My answer, I think, genuinely astounded him.
"What makes you think that the men's movement needs the support of the
judiciary? The way I see it, it won't be very long before the judiciary needs
the support of the men's movement. Indeed, it is you lot who are soon going to
have to provide "convincing evidence" in "measured terms"
for what you are doing, not us."
However, despite all my vitriol, I must say
that there are now many judges speaking out with regard to men's concerns. The walls of silence and political
correctness are now cracking apart very audibly. And we must also remember that
these people have been silenced and intimidated in the past much like the rest
of us.
It is also worth bearing in mind that one of
the main functions of the judiciary is to protect citizens from abusive actions
by the state. And some American judges are finally beginning to take this aspect
of their duties a little more seriously than they have done in the recent past.
Indeed, a federal judge, Judge John S. Martin, has actually just resigned over
this very matter.
And here in the UK there is currently quite a
battle going on between the politicians and the judges over which of them is
ultimately responsible for dishing out 'justice'.
And the judges, just like everyone else, seem
likely to lose out in the face of the ever-growing onslaught of the state.
And whom should we support, the judges or the
state?
Well, to put it bluntly, I don't know.
Finally, here is some scientific evidence from
some "respected academics" in support of my claims concerning
successful activism in the real world.
Why
do insults once hurled at us stick inside our skull, sometimes for decades? ...
Nastiness just makes a bigger impact on our brains. And that is due to the
brain's "negativity bias": Your brain is simply built with a greater
sensitivity to unpleasant news. The bias is so automatic that it can be detected
at the earliest stage of the brain's information processing.
Indeed, there is a mountain of research
on the best ways in which to campaign effectively and it
shows, quite clearly, that 'negative' campaigning is the
tops.
And as men who have been on the
receiving end of such horrible campaigning for so very long, don't we know
it!?
Also, please keep remembering that the feminists, the racial
activists and the gays gained their enormous power not through politeness and nor through any
subservience to "respected academics."
They intimidated, they bullied, and they
yelled. And they did lots of other horrible things too.
The men's movement is a fluffy pussy cat in
comparison.
Thus far!
