GENDER VIEWS SELDOM OFFERED BY BIG MEDIA AND LEADING FEMINISTS


Because "Men Have the Power," Getting the Male Side Heard Is So Frustrating.


Men's Issues



THE TOPICS:

GENDER VIOLENCE

...It Makes Some Feminists Want a World Without Men...


...But what about women's violence? If feminists (and the media) don't take women's violence seriously, why should men take women's opinions seriously? After all, according to ideological feminists' own definition of hate crimes, violence is merely an opinion acted out, a view expressed by behavior.
"If one is to accept the basic principles of equality that feminism advances, then one must accept that women, like men, are capable of the entire range of human action and experience: from the summits of artistic creativity and human compassion, to the depths of debased violence and evil." --Adam Jones


Sexual Harassment


"With this I will manipulate your little male brain." But all power carries a price tag.

THE WORLD OF CHILDREN

As society vigorously promotes women's equality in the world of work, it generally impedes men's equality in the world of children.

THE WORLD OF WORK

As society impedes  men's equality in the world of children, it vigorously promotes women's equality in the world of work.

...MALE MATTERS

posted Tuesday, 2 June 1998

     Male Matters explores gender matters that pertain to males. In doing so, it shows that the male matters as much as the female.

     The views herein are not entirely non-feminist, but are predominantly so. Thus you will find here a gender world far different from the one generally constructed by the main- stream media and most leading ideological feminists.

Feminism Men and Tampons

I am absolutely fed up, ashamed, and fucking angry that men are now relegated to the compost heap, by there own means. Grown men acting like spoiled brats, he took my toy away blah blah .

Look around you now, what you see is man made, man invented, man designed. There is not one women in history that has forwarded mankind, not one iota. Its been men since we crawled out the sea. Even today men are exploring space, by man made stuff. Don’t believe me then fuck off.

Test are being carried out in the UK which is looking at which is the best for men, sanitary pads or tampons. The purpose of this research is so men can empathise with women. New man, no new species.

Are there any real men left in this world? sure there are in Russia, China, Korea, Vietnam and such countries not forgetting of course Iraq.

Until men find their back bone, stop crying. Either fight for your natural rights or shut up.

I remember when women stated that “men should find their feline side” and boy, men were falling over themselves to comply. Now women want real men.

Yea big boy you rant and rave. But what are you going to DO about it. Bitch? If man created VAWA2005 then fix it. I am suffering what men have suffered for years. Ahhhh the change of tides. Finally a woman restrained, fighting for custody and freedoms. None of you have done anything towards changing a flawed law. As you sit high and mighty in front of your computer screen to read all about it take one moment to reflect. Reflect on the fact that this is not a gender fueled issue. Sure women have brunted it less but the same back stabbing can be applied to a woman as simply as a man. Here's the secret for all you newbies: He who pulls the ex parte first wins. Its a race to the "i'm scared' podium where you too can make your spouse suffer unimaginable misery and ruin. As a bonus your children get to be traumatized from one parent being ripped from thier world then bad mouthed ad nauseum. The DVRO is also the favorite of the attorney who leaves 'MORAL TURPITUDE' out of his personal to do list. Come on here. Can we all stop bitching about it and do something here? I'll be your poster girl fighting for equal right and against a flawed law. Just keep the eggs away from me. After all that was his complaint: "she broke a raw egg on my pillow and when i asked her about it she called me an egghead". Yes Sir Domestic Violence at its prime. Now forced out of my civil rights, gun owner rights, my home, personal belongings and most anything that means the most to me. Like my children, my freedoms, my right to bear arms and the chrystal butter dish passed down to me by my great Grandmother. All based on 'preponderance'. Ludicrous. If anything is done to VAWA it has to start at the burdon of proof. My opinion.

Amyhland I have absolutely no sympathy for your plight, while I do feel for your children. This whole mess has been brought about by women aided by insecure men, homosexuals and lesbians. The fact is women are shallow and mouldable, I do not say this in a derogatory term, but as a fact. Over the last million years men and women have lived in harmony with each other, while in the last 30/40 years women have clearly stated they do not like this natural way of life and want to be as a man.

Let me ask you if you had got custody of your children would you be writing here. The answer is clearly NO! I’m not of your generation; I can happily state that I had my child hood in the 1950’s. Often termed “the golden years”. Women like you are a complete mess as are modern man, none of you know “what you are” as opposed to “who you think you are”. If any human being goes against their nature disease follows, our instincts define our sexuality (to reproduce) instincts can be over ridden by “reasoning” such reasoning is mainly short term, yet today both men and women ignore their own instincts by constant reasoning. I can do this, I will do this, and I am capable of doing this so on and on. Such a mental battle brings with it illness usually heart disease, cancers and eventually premature death.

By reasoning man denies his own masculinity and women deny their femininity. Man and woman no longer marry because of love (even saying this these day’s sounds corny) they marry on an instinct, yet their brain sets are the total opposite such a marriage becomes a battle with bayonets attached. You people created this mess you get yourselves out of it. I’m snug in knowing what I am. ARE YOU? www.gentlemanjim.org

There are no such groups as "men" and "women" conspiring against each other. I had nothing to do with deranged liberal feminist propaganda, I cannot reverse the laws, and I do not control today's media. Most men and women are in the same position. So stop bashing all women. There are many of us who love men and want them to be happy, and fulfilled. We are not your enemy. You sound like pathetic impotent victims which is very unattractive in a man. What if a woman's job was not to adavance and "forward mankind"? What if her main function is to provide a nurturing stable environment for the man where he can find and engage his greatness? What if she were gifted just for such a purpose, to be a helper, a friend, a cofidante, a partner for the man? I believe it is the case. Do you really want women to be like men? What is lacking today in men and women is compassion for the opposite gender. We are very different, but most people are ignorant about these differences. They are meant to compliment each other, not to provoke conflict. Very few of us are in a position to change the world, but we can change and empower ourselves. Men's anger hides betrayal, hurt, humiliation, impotence they feel today as they are being demonized by media, manipulated by women, and mistreated by the legal system. There are more mature and constructive ways of dealing with these emotions than pouring derision upon women. Real men, James, do not treat women that way. And yes, there many of them left. I am married to one. They have simply learned that the only power women have over them, you men give it to them. Just stop doing it. Nobody can relegate you to compost heap without your consent.

Kira I took a look at you blog site and was not impressed! The reason we animals are on this planet is to reproduce, that’s it. God, gods and goddesses are the invention of primitive man. The happiest of couples are those who have large family’s 6,7,8,9, children.

You state that you do NOT like children or want any of you own. Let me tell you it is impossible for a female to be a "WOMAN" without her maternal instinct (New Scientist) it is her very essence of being a woman. Instincts can be overridden by "reason". So what is your reason to deny you’re self to be a woman.

In nature you are seen as a woman "not fit for purpose" for nature demands reproduction. Incidentally the gene for maternal instinct is passed from the man to the woman only.

Jim, this is not an appropriate forum to launch a personal attack on me. This is Male Matters blog. I understand that you are not a supporter of the men's rights movement and think that real men should "stand alone". I disagree with you as I disagree with your views on God and women. If this is a clumsy attempt to hurt or embarass me, don't! I am light years ahead of you, pal! I f you are looking for real men I think you've come to the right place here. Mature men focus on issues that face men today, not on creating websites that hurt and humiliate women through pornographic vulgar images and words and blame women for all the problems that exist today. There are definite gender inequalities in regards to men that need to be addressed. It is childish to think that complex problems that exist in today's society, including gender conflict, can be attributed to one group of people or to "all women", just like "men" have never oppressed "women", in my opinion, as feminists claim. I think that wide dissemination and misinterpretation of evolution theory, for example, has contributed greatly to social ills we face today. You can only tell people that they are animals driven by nothing but instinct for so long until they start acting accordingly. And there is a perfectly logical explanation to the gender conflict from the evolutionary standpoint (to which I do not subscribe, but have studied in detail). According to Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist who is one of the most outspoken defenders of atheism and evolution theory, much of our development happens as a result of the "evolutionary arms race", sexual conflict between male and female of the species being an example. It is not difficult to apply it to our current situation and, according to this theory, men and women have not been getting along for millions of years, we have always been in conflict due to differences in parental investment in eggs (expensive) and sperm (cheap). So, at this stage women have won, but it will come full cycle as men are waking up to this fact. This is not my belief system but that's what you get when you reduce human beings to animals. Evolutionary philosophy spawned communism, fascism, racism, and radical feminism. It is only logical that it would . Evolution is all about struggle and conflict, survival of the fittest, selfishness. Class struggle naturally follows, and radical feminism is, essentially, a class struggle of "opressed" females against "opressor " class: males. It is a malicious destructive movement set to destroy all patriarchal institutions of oppression", such as marriage, the very fiber that has held our western societies together for hundreds of years, and to marginalize men. Many men have allowed and enabled this movement, and played into it by abdicating their roles as fathers and leaders. Many men championed feminism. Some of the freedoms women have gained were fair, in my opinion, and that is why many men supported feminism. And that is why so many men now justifiably feel betrayed when the feminist movement turned against them and they ended up in the "opressed" position! But retreating into the "victim" role and accusing "women" is just as destructive and immature as feminists doing it to men. We have all contributed to the problem, if in no other way, then by mindlessly taking in feminist liberal propaganda and not questioning things. We watch TV and let children watch TV, having them poisoned against their fathers right in front of us while we pay for our cable access. My husband and I have not watched TV since 1999 choosing to use internet instead, and have not missed a thing. These are complex issues that will require all of our cooperation to solve. Bashing, blaming, accusing each other will not get us anywhere.

Kira, I am sorry that you feel that I am personally attacking you, which is absolutely untrue. You also put words in my mouth which are also untrue. I simply speak the truth I reflect just what is happening in today’s sick society.

I also see all heterosexual men as my brothers, a band of brothers who come together at a time of crisis standing shoulder to shoulder. This web site is the closest I have seen where men are standing up for themselves, this I applaud. However, today’s man does not recognise they are being psychologically controlled.

A fox is wondering around the forest looking for his mid-day snack. He comes to a clearing where he spies a Sparrow pecking at the ground. Hmmm the fox murmurs, not a big meal but a satisfying one. The fox slowly approaches the sparrow until he is within striking distance, he licks his lips. The sparrow takes little notice of the fox and keeps pecking at the ground. The fox is a little taken back; this is far too easy and a bit uneasy, I’m used to the chase and the kill, what is this Sparrow about, he sits down.

Mr Sparrow asks the fox why are you not scared of me? For I am about to eat you, the sparrow looks up at Mr Fox, hello Mr Fox, pleased to meet you, I know you will eat me murmurs the sparrow for I cannot run as fast as you. The Fox now very puzzled turns his head to one side, but you could have flown away. “Flown away” what’s that asks the sparrow. The fox now even more bewildered say’s well you open your wings, flap them up and down and fly; this is nature’s way of keeping you safe from predators like me. Oh you are funny say’s Mr Sparrow. What is fly?

Did your parents not show you how to fly, asks the Fox. My parents were killed by a weasel; I fell out of my nest and have been here ever since, say’s Mr Sparrow. Oh! Say’s Mr Fox a sparrow that does not know how to fly, hmmm. Open your wings Mr Sparrow instructs the fox and flap them up and down as fast as you can. Ok Mr Fox I will do as you say, for I am going to be eaten any way. He opens his wings and flaps them up and down, suddenly Mr Sparrow finds himself off the ground and in the air. Mr Fox smiles, that’s it keep going. Mr Sparrow keeps flying higher and higher until he starts to feel tired, seeing a tree branch he rest on it. That’s flying say’s Mr Fox to Mr Sparrow. Mr Sparrow almost breathless looks down on Mr Fox and say’s thank you Mr Fox I now know what I am, and I will fly away when ever I feel in danger. That’s it, say’s Mr Fox, now come down so I can eat you. Will not say’s Mr Sparrow for I now know what I am and will not let you eat me? Then flies away. Mr Fox looks down at his stomach; ok idiot not only lost my meal but went totally against my own instincts. Hmmmmm

Today’s men and women do not know what they are. Like I stated in my last answer, women are given the maternal instinct gene by the man. Men do NOT have a maternal instinct gene yet they believe they are as caring as women. Tell men they are not maternal and they go ballistic. Men’s brains are wired differently, which means they have a great love for their children, but for totally different reasons. Tell a man he is hard wired to walk away from a bad relationship and they go ballistic. Yet nature has provided them with this capability and the capability to recognise he has failed in the breading of good stock to such a woman. He made a mistake and walks, but not after examining his feelings and not his mind.

In your case Kira it appears you have it all worked out. What your daily life consist of how you will behave etc. To me such a sanitised life denies the very purpose that you are gifted with life. Life is love and passion (passion is NOT a thought it is a feeling) and the making of children, that’s it. No place of wonderment to go when your dead, not a god to bather your brow just nothing, this is a cop out for those who spend a miserable life. And one reason for today’s society that is in such a mess. Not by men but women. Read Darwin and learn.

In the last 2 million years women have never produced an Einstein, Newton, or the other men who have built this world. Yet women they think they can, well they can not nor will they ever build worlds it’s a total fabrication, by women to women.

Once again, this blog site is not about me, Jim. I have my own, you can direct your comments there. You say yourself that men and women have different brain structure, and I agree. We are wired very differently. We need to understand and appreciate that about each other. These are complimenatry abilities. When used synergistically we can solve the problems facing us. Pointing fingers and accusing and blaming each other will not get us far. Women's IQ is on average slightly lower than men's on the bell curve distribution. Some women are much more intelligent than some men and some men are much more intelligent than most men and women. The exceptional scientific genius individuals almost without exception have been men. Again, it is because men's brains are wired that way. That is what they contribute to the world. It does not mean that women cannot be scientists, it just means that they are much less likely to attain the genius level, but there are many who are doing important research and contributing to advancement of mankind. Women are emotional geniuses, and on emotional EQ scale men would trail far below them. Women have superior language and communication abilities, for example because at 8 weeks gestation male embryo's brain is flooded by testosterone which destroys a great deal of neurons in the communication center and enlarges sex center to twice the size that of the female brain. We come into this world with different hardware. So, women are not meant to be genius scientists, but they can be very good scientists. Most men are not meant to to be stay-at-home dads, but they can be great fathers. We need to learn about and appreciate our differences. Would we really want each other to be the same? Happy fulfilled life is not found just by following one's biological instincts. Instinct to eat has gotten us obese, instinct to mate gets us into all sorts of trouble and brings no end of misery to families and children through adultery, instinct to kill lands people in jail and brings others grief. The very thing that separates us from animals is the ability to NOT act on our instincts but to think and act out of preselected set of values. I know exactly who I am, where I want to be, what I want in my life, where I am headed. It most definitely does not eliminate the element of mystery and surprise. Life with God is all about adventure. "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans". My life is happy and fulfilled, and I want to share with others what I have learned so they too can have happiness, peace, and fulfillment. My life is full of love and passion, I have a reason for living. Blaming others gives away one's power. Taking full responsibility for one's own part in life is the way to take the power back. I love men, and together with my husband we are doing our part to make this a better world for men, women, and families. I have no tolerance for "victims". I have noticed that most of men who pour derision on women and claim that "women are useless" because they have done nothing to advance mankind have not done much of anything themselves. Just like the women they despise they are riding on the coattails of great men, contributing little but their hate and cruelty to the society. I am a surgeon. In the course of my practice I have saved numerous lives, impacted lives for the better, cured infections and cancer. I am not bragging, I am just making a point. There are women engineers designing bridges and engines, women architects designing buildings, women scientists discovering new drugs and researching cure for cancer. No, they will never be Einsteins or Newtons. Very few men will ever be. So what? We all contribute what we can. Many of them are also wives and mothers. Yes, women have a strong maternal instinct, but some, like me, choose to channel it differently. We need to stop allowing the fringe hateful mean people on both sides to stir up the gender conflict and work together on understanding and admiring each other's differences.
