Then we had Tom Martin suing the London School of Economics' gender studies programme for sexism, one of his complaints being that the chairs they sat on were too hard and not suitable for the comfortable positioning of his goolies. Poor Tom. |

| Quote: | | A Voice for Men is essentially the EDL of the mens' rights movement, positing as it does such statements as "a single mother is a woman who in most cases chose to have, or to raise a child without a father. This demonstrates terrible, selfish values", and "fake boobs are a sexual advertisement. If your wife or GF wants them that means she's seeking to attract heightened male attention." It's extremist, bitter, and encourages men to "not get fucked" by taping every conversation that they have with a woman, like a troop of paranoid angry, ninja spies. |
Hehe. It's not going to stop at just this snarky 'intro'-style article, though. the authors of this blog are going to do a whole week on this.
In related news: Phyllis Schlafly is is lookin' for her hero and still hating women
The article revolves around an event which features journalist, blogger, authour, speaker and activist Laurie Pennie (Nominated and shortlisted for the Orwell Prize and winner of the Bread and Roses award 2012), who is neatly described by Schlafly as just "An English woman".
Great start, Phyllis.
The event happened when Laurie was a bit of an idiot and nearly, maybe, could have been hit by traffic due to her own inattentiveness, and was "saved" by someone who is not a pleb.
| Quote: | | A taxi was headed directly toward her when, lo and behold, heartthrob Ryan Gosling came to her rescue, grabbing Penny and pulling her out of harm's way. It was a classic "man saves woman" event. |
Grab your fans, ladies, you may need to sit down.
| Quote: | | Most women like big, strong, John-Wayne-type men. They want men who bravely put out fires, fight in combat, protect their wives and children against intruders, and save damsels in distress. |
Damn. I actually feel ashamed now. No wonder I can't get laid.
Hang on, I'll finish this post after I've kicked in a pimp's door.
...
My foot hurts and I got tazered.
Schlafly's problem is with English woman's reaction. (Posted in the fucking Independent, Phylis. No need to mention that, huh? Can't go breaking the illusion of the parasol-twirling, teacup and saucer holding, peaches-and-cream English lady who is far to frail to work, huh?) wherein she states:
| Quote: | | As a feminist, it is rather irritating that I have finally become tabloid-famous in the guise of a simpering damsel in distress. |
In short, Laurie is a little perplexed that "ordinary thing happened" and this is the thing that has launched her into the public eye. For no other reason than a "Celeb" was involved. This is what has made "America" notice her. Not her coverage of the War on Women or her highlighting of similar events in the UK.
Schlafly, however, sees something different:
| Quote: | | If American women want to know where all the manly men have gone, they can blame the feminists. Not only can men no longer hold the door open for women, they can't even save a woman's life and get a gracious thank you. Feminists have destroyed the relationship between men and woman. |
Yup.
"My media-fuelled stereotype of Knights in shining armour protecting poor incompetent women from their own idiocy is not healed up in reality and it's the darn feminazi's fault."
Says the woman who utterly ignores the achievements and work by the woman she is criticising. Amazing. |
