Audacity of Truth
Kruggie to Fibbs:
"Rudeness at the proper moment can serve a purpose — as I hope I’ve demonstrated over the years. But if you vent for the sake of venting; if you alienate people you’re going to need; then you’re just being stupid."

Radical feminism gone haywire
Dan Riehl wonders: Are Some Radical Feminists Child Abusers?:
I’ve wrestled with making this post, based upon a tip. I have no real connection to the people involved on either side of the issue. But given that this is linked to a radical feminist the Lefty blogs, including Amanda Marcotte, Majikthise, Feministing and others raised up to suit their purposes, I wonder, has any of them considered that basically teaching a young man he is evil and destined to rape women simply because he was born with a penis might actually rise to the level of child abuse? If the Lefty feminist blogs know this person and know her mind and this is it, I hope some of them have had the decency to advise her to get some help.
Should a Mother post something like this below on the Internet, simply because her teenage son was caught looking at Internet pornography?
“(I) hate myself for not pouring him down the sink at Planned Parenthood or grabbing a rusty coathanger and doing the job myself even if it killed me.”
Or this and the other items below?
I’ve had him read Dworkin, my site, and other places (namely OAG’s site) and I still can’t unseat this problem. He can recite feminist literature all day long, he can understand the tenets, the ideas behind it, how it links together but he will not allow this knowledge to stand in the way of his porn use.
“I know, that as soon as my child leaves my home and moves into his own place that he will be looking at porn immediately. I know that I am raising a problem for women. I know that this child will one day grow and will fully absorb the messages that porn sends to men. I know that my child masturbates to degradation of my people (when I use that phrase I mean womyn) and that with every orgasm he will further solidify his own hatred of and superiority over, women.
“I know that there will likely come a day where my son coerces a young woman into sex (rape) and there isn’t a damned thing I can do about it. I look into the eyes of my son and they still sparkle like they did when he was a baby, but he’s not a baby anymore, he’s growing into a man and that man will have trained himself to degrade women before he leaves my home.
Sheesh.
Read the whole thing.
This is what happens when you allow irrational hatred to control you. Essentially, you become that which you abhor. You whine for years about how men supposedly hate women, but then you turn into a hater yourself. It becomes even worse when you transfer that hatred to your children by using them as proxies for the object of your disgust.
These are the same types of people who would join marches on Washington if a prominent black or gay figure were to be severely maligned by a conservative in Congress. But in the radical feminist’s world, it’s “acceptable” to hate – as long as it’s a man you’re hating.
This is representative for an even bigger hypocrisy not just amongst radical feminist women, but against liberals on the whole: They’ll rip a conservative up one side and down the other for ‘broad brushing’ (no pun intended) an entire group of people – specifically “minorities” – but they have no problems whatsoever broad brushing the entire male gender. Oh, and they do the same thing with the military. But then again, the military is comprised primarily of alpha male men, so of course it’s only natural that the left would come down against them as well.
Can’t have any examples of strong, accomplished, upstanding alpha male men out there, because that would destroy the stereotype radical feminists and others in the Democratic party wildly embellished in order to use as an instrument of fear amongst fence-sitting almost-feminists and female voters in general, respectively.
Thur AM Update: Dr. Helen (91%) and Eugene Volokh (95%) both have taken the “Are you a feminist?” quiz. I took the quiz, too, and here are my results:
|
You Are 50% Feminist |
 You aren’t a total traditionalist when it comes to gender roles. But you’re no feminist either. You generally think that women should be treated as equals, but you’re not convinced the world should be gender neutral. |

“If the Lefty feminist blogs know this person and know her mind and this is it, I hope some of them have had the decency to advise her to get some help.”
All Lefty feminist blogs need to get some help. But they do not know they need help.
We already have a generation of angry young men, deprived of a father-figure, and raised by male hating “feminists”. This social experiment has clearly failed.
I looked at that quiz yesterday (via Instapundit and Dr. H.) and started to take it.
I got to the question “Men and women should be held to the same sexual standards. If men can sleep around without judgment, women should be able to as well.” and I quit.
I agree with the 1st half of the question – but refuse to answer in the context of the second sentence. This goes along with something you were discussing a week or so ago here – that men and women should be held to the same standard: a higher one – not a lower one.
As soon as I see the word “womyn” I say “hello–I must be going.”
Hi Dan.
To that one, I answered “strongly disagree”
Too bad they don’t allow people to expand on why they answered the way they did.
Son of a Gun,
I am an 86% feminist along with being an ex-GI, commie hating, old white guy who likes guns, hunting,and occasionaly bad politically incorrect jokes.
This quiz seems more focused on equal rights than on specific womens issues and nutty politics. I was raised by a wonderful well educated woman, married to a lovely well educated woman and the father of two grown daughters and one son all good people.
I abhor seeing common sense hijacked in the name of goofy causes when we need both strong accomplished men and women who are not necessaryly gender neutral.
My grandsons ages 7 & 10 wrestle, get filthy dirty and are generaly rowdy little guys. My grandaughter who is 4 loves to make up stories with rows of dolls and stuffed animals. She likes to be clean and neat and I can preceive a gender bias towards activities in these kids that I find normal and healthy.
I was also raised with the idea that males are physically stronger and women are always entitled to protection of that strength. I tend to think that strong confident fathers set the pattern for strong confident sons and daughters who appreciate and enjoy gender differences.
So, if I am entering a building and you are a woman you can expect to have the door held open and if you have somthing heavy in your arms I will offer to help you carry it. Please don’t feel offended and chew my head off, I can’t help it, I was raised that way.
Gender neutrality is a form of insanity. Nature is not neutral. The idea mankind can create what Nature has not is absurd. Neither man nor women are better,but they are different. You may not like the idea. Alas.
Interesting….I’m 50% too. Does that mean that between ST and me there’s one complete feminist somewhere.
But I agree with Dan…many of the questions were loaded, so choosing a level of agreement is insufficiently precise.
I better go take this test. I’ve always felt I was a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.
Quite a few very sick womyn out there. What a sad herstory they’re producing.
So … what were your results, Sev?
Haven’t taken it yet…been sitting here thinking about women and daydreaming!
You mean “womyn”?
I stopped daydreaming about womyn long enough to get a 90% on the quiz…
She’s a sick, sick woman.
That reminds me of some sitcom I saw years and years ago. This guy was looking at this hot woman who was reading a book by the Feminazi Andrea Dworkin. The woman looked at him staring at her and her book and asked “Do you like Dworkin?” to which he replied “I dunno, I’ve never been dworked!”
So much hate, it’s frightening. Where to people learn these attitudes?
No way of knowing about these particular people, but in general, this kind of rage is often something learned in universities.
