Feminists Even Handed Out White Feathers to Underage Child Soldiers During WWI

Currently reading ‘The Second Sexism‘, the important new men’s rights book that uses philosophical analysis to argue that males are experiencing disadvantages in society that are the result of sexism.  I’ll write a review sometime soon, but the couple of chapters I’ve read thus far have left me impressed.  Here, the author David Benatar is discussing the discriminatory pressure on males to enlist and fight in war :

One particularly graphic example of this is the campaign, during the First World War, of British women distributing white feathers – a symbol of cowardice – to young men who were not in uniform.  These were distributed even to adolescent boys who were technically too young to register.  One boy, Frederick Broome, who had succeeded in enlisting at age 15, fought in battle, was returned to England in a febrile state and then discharged at the insistence of his father, who produced his birth certificate to convince the authorities.  Then, while walking over a bridge in town, then age 16, young Frederick was accosted by four girls who gave him three white feathers.  He later recalled as follows :

“I felt very humiliated.  I finished the walk over the bridge and there on the other side was the Thirty-seventh London Territorial Association of the Royal Field Artillery.  I walked straight in and re-joined the army.”

 

Note that I have not sought the author’s permission to quote the above passage – I assume he will have no objections to me highlighting a small sample of his work on a men’s rights advocacy site.

The quoted quote from the boy soldier is taken from (according to the author’s notes) ‘We Will Not Fight‘, by Will Ellsworth-Jones.

In the notes section, David Benatar also reveals that the feminist icon Virginia Wooff dismissed, against all the evidence, the claim that white feathers were handed out during World War I in any great numbers.  She apparently attributed the belief to ‘male hysteria’.

You can read an interview with David Benatar on the subject of his book here in the Pink Paper.

**UPDATE : I have added a follow-up to this article which deals with the historical relationship between feminism and the white feather campaigns, something which redditors seem to be having a hard time believing :

Five Feminists On Board The Titanic – Four Survived…The Other Was A Male Feminist

Posted on by

Interesting article from TheScotsman reveals that five prominent feminists were on board the Titanic, and all of them survived bar one – William Thomas Stead, the only male feminist amongst them. A noted women’s rights campaigner, Stead was most famous for his ‘tabloid’ style expose of child prostitution in late Victorian London, which was largely responsible for persuading the British parliament to accede to feminist demands, against the wishes of early men’s rights campaigners, and raise the age of consent from 13 to 16.

The article seems to be stressing the bravery of the female feminists. One of them ‘helped other women and children into the lifeboats’. Another, ‘broke her ankle boarding the lifeboat but survived’. Poor dear. William T Stead, meanwhile, exemplified Victorian chivalry with a stiff upper lip.

William T Stead – a British newspaper reporter who paved the way for tabloid journalism – was a social reformer and ardent advocate of women’s rights. While editor of the Pall Mall Gazette in 1885, he “bought” a 13-year-old girl for £5 in an attempt to expose the scale of child prostitution. Although he was jailed for unlawfully kidnapping a minor, the publicity the case generated led to the passing of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, which raised he age of consent from 13 to 16. A friend of suffragette Millicent Garrett Fawcett, Stead was proud of being the first editor to employ women on the same wages as men. After all the lifeboats on the Titanic had been filled, Stead, who had been travelling to a peace conference, is said to have gone to the First Class smoking room where he was last seen sitting in a leather chair reading a book.

 

French Shooting Suspect ‘Belongs to Al Qaeda’

As I’m typing this, it appears that the suspect in the awful French shootings has been cornered by the police.  The BBC is reporting that the suspect is claiming that he ‘belongs to Al Qaeda’.

Mercifully, it appears that this animal is about to be caught before he can kill again.

Alongside the relief of every decent human being on Earth that no more innocent children are going to die at his hands, you can almost hear the groans of disappointment from the Cultural Marxists and our feminist and paedocrite-mangina enemies.

No doubt, after several Jewish children had been brutally executed just days after apparently the same gunman had slain two ethnic French soldiers, they were having erections and orgasms over the assumption that the person responsible was a/ white and b/ male.  Therefore, through the glorious powers of secular logic, having further ‘reason’ to define as hate criminals anybody who is a/ white and b/ male, and who dares to criticise the behaviour of anyone who isn’t themselves both white and male.

You see, when a psychopathic white nationalist randomly kills children to ‘protest’ against mass immigration, it means that any white males who criticise discrimination against men are clearly dangeroous psychopaths and part of a hate group that needs to be urgently criminalized.  A corrupted civil rights group that was created by a man who has been accused of taking a sexual interest in his own 16 year old daughter says so.

It doesn’t matter that many in the men’s rights movement are black men, gay men, or even women.  Neither does it matter that many of us are protesting at the constant passing of laws by privileged middle-class women that results in the criminalization and jailing of untold numbers of black and gay men.

Similarly, when a broken father commits suicide by self-immolation outside of a family court house, then it means that any man who questions female bias in those courts, or anywhere else, needs to be placed on an FBI watch list.

Needless to say, this perverted ‘progressive liberal’ Orwellian logic doesn’t extend to the awful actions of individuals within ‘minority’ groups.  If, as it now appears, a French Muslim has been responsible for the cold blooded killing of Jewish children in ‘revenge’ for Palestine and for French involvement in Muslim lands, nobody would dare to suggest that anyone who criticises or (legally) protests against injustices in Palestine or against the French military presence abroad is committing ‘hate speech’, or is part of a hate group (simply for protesting), or is ‘inciting murder’.

And although some will use awful events such as these killings in order to portray Muslims in general, or Islam itself, as a danger to Western society, such people need to be careful that they themselves do not have the Cultural Marxist thought police arresting them for Islamophobia or ‘racism’.  Commit the folly of making any kind of connection between statements in the Koran calling for ‘the infidel to be killed wherever they are found’, and these or other killings by deranged  Muslim terrorists, and you yourself are the prejudiced and irrational dangerous hate criminal.

Father Who Accidently Downloaded Child Porn and Reported It Now Banned from Being Alone with Daughter

A father has been banned from being alone with his eight-year-old daughter after telling police he accidentally accessed child porn while attempting to download music from the internet.

Nigel Robinson says his life has been plunged into a nightmare since he reported himself to authorities as an act of good citizenship.

When the 43-year-old plumber told police he had inadvertently downloaded shocking pictures of ‘young girls’, officers contacted social services.

His laptop was seized and – because of lengthy waiting times for police analysis of computers in non-urgent cases – the investigation could mean he is not allowed to be alone with his daughter for a year. Mr Robinson claims he is being treated like a criminal for trying to do the right thing.

Wolf-whistling and ‘Sexist Remarks’ Could Soon Be Illegal Throughout Europe

Posted on by

Wolf-whistling and ‘sexist remarks’ could soon be illegal throughout the EU under the latest anti-male European convention – signed on International Women’s Day.

In a special event to mark International Women’s Day, David Cameron will pledge to fight verbal and non-verbal violence against women, including sexual harassment.

By signing the Council of Europe convention, he will vow to take “necessary legislative measures” against anyone breaking the clauses within, by committing “verbal, non-verbal or physical” sexual harassment.

This is thought to include sexist comments and street harassment, including shouting or whistling at women in public.

In particular, the convention sets out a definition of sexual harassment, as “violating the dignity of a person, in particular when creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.”

This, it says, is “subject to criminal or other legal sanction”.

This is how politics works in the eUSSR. One day, we wake up, and without discussion or debate, our leaders announce the most absurd laws that, actually or potentially, criminalise the entire male population of Europe.  Another new and vaguely worded EU convention has been signed into law.

Can you imagine, for example, how Rebecca Watson’s Elevatorgate incident might potentially be covered under these new laws?  In future, when you approach a woman in Europe and ask her for a coffee, if she happens to think you’re a beta male piece of disposable shit that is beneath her, then she could have you arrested for invading her dignity and creating an ‘intimidating environment’.  In future, if you stop and turn your head at the slut with the see-through leggings and her boobs hanging out, it might not be enough for her to look back at you like you’re a perverted piece of filth – she could have you caged as a sex offender.

And even if the odd European country were to be brave enough to refuse to sign up to such stupidity – which never happens these days – there would still be no escape.  The state now owns you, and it doesn’t matter where you commit these ‘crimes’.  It was also announced today that British men who commit any ‘abuse’ against women in another EU state, can be arrested and tried in the UK if it is not possible in the country where it took place (i.e. it’s not illegal there).  This ‘when in Rome, don’t do as the Romans do or you’ll end up in a British jail back home’ rule had already been introduced by the previous British government for cases of ‘paedophilia’.  So, for example, even though the age of consent is 13 in Spain, you could still go to jail in the UK if you were spotted by a holidaying British police officer kissing a 15 year old senorita on the lips.

Those who rape or “seriously harm” women will be prosecuted in this country if charges are not brought abroad under the “unprecedented” agreement.

The new procedures would also cover offences such as forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and forced abortions which may not be illegal abroad.

Last night, Mr Cameron also said that stalking would be made a criminal offence. “Stalking is an abhorrent crime,” the Prime Minister said. “It makes life a living hell for victims. That is why we are explicitly criminalising stalking to make sure that justice is done.”

Currently, only murder and paedophile offences committed abroad can be prosecuted in British courts. In a joint statement to mark International Women’s Day, the Prime Minister and his deputy said they were acting to tackle the “utter scandal” of violence and domestic abuse suffered by millions of women.

One of the great Scottish philosopher David Hume’s central arguments against political anarchy was that, if you didn’t like the laws of your own country, you could simply go and bugger off somewhere with rules more to your taste.  Unfortunately, in the civilised Britain of the 18th century, it must have been impossible for Hume to imagine that 300 years later, every man would have become the mere possession of the Big Sister fascist state to which he happened to be born.

Man with World’s Largest Sex Doll Collection Interviewed on Daytime TV

Posted on by

A sex doll collector, who proudly boasts of having the world’s largest collection, is interviewed on a British daytime tv show popular with middle-aged women.  Gets a little awkward at the 7:17 mark…

Meanwhile, you probably saw this on Reddit – ‘Sex Toy Equality‘ :sex toy equality

And let’s be honest, it’s as much men as women who shame other men for using sex toys..  Sometimes I think that this is must be some kind of deep-rooted psychological inability of men to admit or even discuss anything which might be seen as an admission of ‘sexual inferiority’ to rival males – in the same way that most white men will never admit that white women (who aren’t fat and ugly, at least) find black men sexually attractive (whether it’s true or not).

It’s rather illuminating with regards to older men and teens, that the media, after all the draconian legislation and moral shaming, still has a need to portray these ‘paedophiles’ as sexual losers, who ‘can’t get a woman their own age’.  Thus, remarkably easily, the sexual trade union has managed to define men finding nubile fertile girls at the height of their sexual attractiveness as the ultimate in unmasculinity. Feminists know that a man being defined as a sexual loser is as painful to most men as years in prison spent being raped in the ass as a sex predator.

And this leads to the question as to whether that same psychology will prevent there even being a men’s rights movement that is positively pro-male sexuality.  For to admit that male sexuality is being victimised by feminists is perhaps too close to an individual male admitting that he is, in some sense, a sexual loser.

This is one reason why I’m very conscious of not furthering the image of MRAs being sexual losers, especially when we know it is the feminists and their unattractive female support base, and their omega male mangina white knight champions, who are evidently the ones who can’t get laid, who need to criminalize others to have any hope at all of succeeding sexually.

In fact, if you have seen photographs or video of some of the leading men’s rights activists – such as AngryHarry, W.F.Price, Paul Elam, Bernard Chapin, Warren Farrell – they are all, despite being in or past middle-age, handsome men.  Compare that to the leading feminists, and indeed, the leading manginas..

And there is always the Japanese. Certainly Japanese men don’t seem to have any hang ups about sex toys at all.  In Japan, the gender roles in relation to the purchase and use of sex toys is almost completely reversed.  For every vibrator, there are a dozen male masturbators – often of astonishing variety and complexity.  Take a look, for example, at the following Japanese online sex toy shop : http://www.sextoysjapan.com/

To paraphrase Winston Smith in 1984 – ‘if there is hope, it lies in the Japs’…

 

Steve Moxon on the BBC Coverage of ‘Clare’s Law’

Posted on by

Steve Moxon made a rare update of his blog today – attacking the BBC’s flagship news programme ‘Today’ over their coverage of the new domestic violence law (‘Clare’s Law’) which gives British women the right to ask the police whether their partner has a record of domestic violence :

http://stevemoxon.blogspot.com/2012/03/domestic-violence-total.html

As ever the BBC’s flagship news show, Today, totally misrepresents domestic violence (‘intimate-partner violence’ as it is properly known).
The BBC reports that the Home Office is to announce plans to enable women to check up on new partners to see if they have a history of DV/IPV.
No mention of the actually more serious issue of women perpetrators and their male victims.
WELL RESEARCHED FACTS:
1. The ‘controlling’ partner in 90% of couples is the woman, not the man.
2. Serious DV/IPV is perpetrated more by women — three to six times as much.
3. Injuries as a result of DV/IPV review studies show to be either parity or at most 2:1 female/male’ this despite female sex-differential body frame weakness and male sex-differential upper body strength.
4. Women are more likely in DV/IPV to use a weapon, attack unilaterally, and/or to attack when the partner is disabled; eg, asleep.
Nobody knows the incidence of women murdering their partners because most is hidden: either by using a third party or subterfuge.
This means that most murder of husbands and boyfriends by partners is not recorded as such.
By contrast, uxoricide is nearly always direct and overt — the guy nearly always kills himself straight afterwards (as, indeed, did Clare Woods’ partner); women never do so.
The upshot is that it is completely false to claim that murder of partners is mainly by men.
It may be roughly 50/50, and given what we know about DV/IPV it may be more by women. Nobody knows.
Refuge is an extreme-feminist, separatist man-hating obscenity of an organisation, as anyone without PC blinkers readily sees.
The notorious man-hating leader of Refuge, Sandra Horlick, knows all too well that men rarely seek help whereas women always do.
Most accusations to police are fraudulent — even more so than rape (and that, conservatively, is 35%).
If definition of DV/IPV were widened to encompass any sort of ‘abuse’ [sic] this still further plays into extreme separatist feminist hands, because although such abuse is female sex-typical, men are unlikely to complain of it — women are likely to invert their abuse to ‘project’ it on to their partner and themselves ciomplain to police!
The BBC’s view of DV/IPV could not differ more from the reality.

‘Morality in Media’ Recording Your IP Address and ‘Illegal Access’ to their Site!!

Underneath his video response to a ‘Morality in Media’ woman’s hysterical attack on a man she ‘caught’ watching Asian porn on a plane, the Amazing Atheist left the contact page link for that organisation.  If you visit that page now, you see the following:

porn harms redirect

Underneath those two sentences is a third stating that your IP address has been recorded, together with your IP address (although they showed mine incorrectly).  You are then re-directed to another of their videos, and another of their hags explaining why pornography is evil (a video that has now over 1,400 downvotes and less than 100 upvotes).

This is the arrogance of the psychotic individuals who make up the myriad lobby groups of the sexual trade union.  They want half of the people on this planet to live in a world where any criticism of them, or of their laws on or attitudes to porn, leads you to fear having your door broken in by the FBI at 4 in the morning.  And the reality is that their influence is such that they will probably have that power very soon, unless they are stopped right now or in the very near future.

The clock is ticking, time is running out.  Do something now by e-mailing your thoughts to :

grassroots@pornharms.com (this is the sister site to Morality in Media)

Please be restrained and try to be reasonably civil, even though these people would have you raped and beaten in prison for simply questioning their assertion that porn is inherently evil.
