MINETTE MARRIN SPEAKS UP FOR MEN

The site has mentioned before that all the media commentary on the war on men is being written by female journalists. It is as if male journalists are too scared to talk about the subject.

Minette Marrin of the Sunday Times has been extremely impressive of late and here are a selection of her recent articles:-

What women want is an end to hectoring feminists

Unwanted men, we need to curb the welfare Amazonians

Women aren't equal to men, especially the feminists

Hymn to him, men are good for women

Yes; many men seem to be reluctant to criticise their female critics.

Again, here are two further pertinent articles by women writers:

1.)"The role of the father has been downgraded" (by Ruth Deech)

2.)"Hand off my child, you liberal hypocrite" (by Cristina Odone)

Thank you.Some very interesting stuff. What has always surprised me is the chivalry of men in the face of some of the feminist slurs. Most repugnant is that men give tacit or explicit support to violence and abuse of women, when oursociety from "women and children first" to carrying the tesco shop is shot through with an ideology of protection by men.After all women worked much more in the 18thcentury until those nasty Victorian men ended child and women labour in the mines foundries etc. It also seems to pass them by that the taxes that fund so much mainly are paid by men.Even the single mothers need those male taxes and child support paid by men they supposedly don't need. It's time men stopped being so nice and challenged wimmin more just as these women writers do.

It is not 'fear' that stops male journalists, it is lack of opportunity and editorial prevention.

Women can write almost anything, no matter how idiotic or true with impunity. It is the Editors who fear. Those Editors do not dare prevent a female journalist from saying the world is flat or 'science' is no match for intuition. But have a male journalist say that this or that about women is 'damaging' and all hell breaks loose.

A man saying anything 'untoward' and TRUE about women or Feminism is likely to be hauled in front of a Tribunal and fines issued, so Editors rarely allow it. It is the employers who pay the fines.

Feminism cannot be beaten by men alone. Women HAVE to speak out.

Men's voices are not heard because of people - particularly women - putting their fingers in their eard and shouting Lalalalalala.

Women journalists criticisms of Feminism are generally couched in 'foot in both camps' terms.

Read the articles by the Marrin woman and you can see her 'parsing' 'good' feminism from 'bad' feminism. She has some way to go yet. She still fails to see that while she may think she ha benefitted from Feminism - and therefore it is 'good' - that the honey-words are just a front for the evil behind.

Women's 'gains', the 'freedoms' she talks about in her articles would have come about without feminism. In fact they would have come about without the damage that has been done to the freedoms of men and children.

Woman need to be included amongst our allies, but like some manginas with forked tongues, they have to earn, sincerely, their place alongside MRAs.

Following the BBC 4's uncritical TV series, just completed, on 'Women', undetaken by 'feminists', no doubt the BBC will do a similar series by men about the rights of 'Men'. (Only kidding.)

A comment in the Sunday Times 'Culture' magazine (March 21) on these 'feminists' in the BBC 4 final programme last night:

.."their determinedly held views are not up for debate. Indeed, they take the precaution of excluding from their ranks anyone who doesn't agree with them." (p.57.)
