Iknow my approach is contorversial
I know my approach is controversial, even among my brother activists. I will attempt to explain why I do and say what I do.
At the nadar of my life, the winter of 1975, I found myself, by hard circumstance, down and out on the streets of Hamilton Ontario. It was one of the hardest winters in southern Ontario's history. By a long chain of events beyond my power or control, I found myself in the company of a "grifter"...an underworld low life who lived by playing out cons and stings on "unsuspecting"people.
As I watched him play out his "schtook" on people I was at first astounded at how gullible people were. But then I had an insight. The people who knew him well. including his own siblings who would not permit him to be unshaparoned with his own mother, behaved very differently around him.
As it turns out, his"marks"were really not all that gullible.....they simply caved in to his manipulations because they were trained to be very polite. It is really no more complicated than that.
Those who knew him well were very brusque and rude with him because there simply was no other way to get him to respect that they would not tollerate his manipulative bullshit.
I love Judge Judy....she does not brooke or tollerate bullshit.
Feminism has asserted itself because we would not violate our own notions of being polite....it is really no more complicated than that.
When a self appointed feminazi gauleiter asserts her bullshit....tell her off...it is not polite I will grant you....but when you stop being polite...the manipulator has no more power over you.
There are people within this movement who deem me to be a loose cannon....they can fuck off and get real...my approach works....their approach is what got us into this mess in the first place.

This is an excellent example of what a friend of mine called "the tyranny of niceness". This illustrates how "good manners" and "etiquette" are used by the upper classes to keep people from speaking out. And for whatever reason, I've noticed females tend to believed far more often as men - almost as though men are hardwired that way.
Please do not misunderstand me. I appreciate how good manners act as a social lubricant. I exhaust every means of resolving an issue with tact wherever possible. However, when this approach fails. I turn to blunt, angry and foul-mouthed |

I really do not like using this approach. I really feel it is a tragedy for all concerned that I do use this approach. When I encounter a reasonable person...male or female...reason easily and effortlessly prevails. It is the very essence of the glue which holds social units together.
We are not dealing with reasonable people. We are, at a fundamental level, dealing with lesbians whos' envy of "alpha" males has completely clouded and obscured reason.
It is simply not an attainable goal, no matter how much you would like to sing in the choir of feminism, to expect that "alpha" males could be replaced by lesbians and that "alpha" males could be relagated to the role of slaves to maintain the infrastructure that they created.
Feminists have been very successfull at marketing a vision which appeals to various dissatisfactions felt by a broad spectrum of women.
Women want to be respected in societal status and in relationships. Women do not want to be hung out to dry by untimely pregnancy. Women do not want to have what they would otherwise be perfectly entitled to denied to them simply by virtue of their gender.
I have had moments of thinking that if the nazi's are the only ones who actually give a damn about us pale-pink-penis-persons then dammit I'm going to get a swastika tatooed to my forehead....so in a way I can understand why they are prepared to form a alliance with the devil.
I did not like my father...in fact I seriously contemplated killing him...but I did know of guys who had a great relationship with their father...and in a way that made matters worse.
What we are faced with today, is not the result of "patriarchy"it is the result of the abdication of patriarchy. It is the far too many fatherless households created by our far too many wars that has caused this. Even when the men come home, often they are too broken to be effective fathers.
This is what arrives on my desk each and every day of my working life...it is getting on for twenty years now...file after file of how the human body and spirit are broken....file after file of how long absences and damaged personalities breaks families and the vows that formed them.
The last thing we need are spitefull envious enemies at home hovering like vultures to take advantage of our broken lives.
Amnesty International has been comandeered by feminists. Susan Sarandon has helped produce their most recent propaganda. Let's conscript feminists to liberate Pakistan from these affronts to human dignity. If they want "alpha"status...let them do something other than whine bitch and complain for it.
As for my detractors who I told to "fuck off".....at whatever point it becomes clear to you that reason only works with reasonable people...come and learn from me how to deal with unreasonable people.....and do not cherish the injury of insult...like Judge Judy says "GET OVER IT!!!" |

| I think there is a lot of truth in what you write. Men are deferential to women. I don’t know if this is innate or because it is something that our mothers drummed into us. After all the first lesson a boy learns is how to be obedient to a woman. May be I am a loose canon as well but it does distress me that your very insightful argument had to end with an invitation for your detractors to fuck off. I will never understand why people who are clearly articulate would need to say such things. |

I've always been fond of -"No!" Only if I'm feeling generous do I bother with brief explanation after.
"You have the option, right now, to not escalate this" is another standby.
