There have been some outstanding posts on this thread. In fact many are so well thought out and so well articulated that I hesitate to name names for fear of leaving somebody out.

I just wonder why- when the MRA movement can field such cognitive might - why is it addressed to the comments of some airhead from the 'Honolulu Advertiser'?

Maybe Sir Percy would call it 'honing our weapons' or 'archery practice'. But it says a lot about the feminist grip on the media that such rags as the HA would rather print thoughtless, arrogant trivia than anything more illuminating. There is more insight displayed in this thread than anything in the original article.

What makes most of the contributions particularly poignant is the primary concern for Corwin.  The poor lad is merely a visual aid to enhance his mother's self-obsession and it's enlightened men on the board who see it for what it is. OK I'm preaching to the converted but the fine sentiments deserve to be acknowledged.

A sinister aspect is the location.

it's just not our culture
Indeed! That part really scares me. Is anyone in the world these days allowed to have a culture that doesn't square with western feminism? The same ideology that oppresses that little boy is set to oppress entire nations, by force if necessary. Our basic instinct is to sympathize with the sorry plight of the boy. Spare a thought for third world nations.

Anyone else see a pattern?

I brought this up, not because of the particular airhead in question, but because it clearly showed the hypocrisy taking place.

I am Danish. So I know H. C. Andersen. He wrote, amongst many other classics, "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Our Corwin plays the role of the little boy that dares say "...but, the emperess is not wearing any clothes!"

Well 'hansside', you're onto page 3 so it was well worth posting. You hit the spot with this one. Before the Great Insanity, H.C. Andersen was most western kids' introduction to philosophy.

Yes. Most males can identify with Corwin in some way or another. His situation gets to the heart of it. Good post!

Out of that whole article, this one stinkin' little phrase at the end made me almost destroy my company-issused laptop computer:

...put boys in their place.


And, Treena, dear, exactly where would that be, hmm, sweetums?

:twisted:

Oh, that's right, I almost forgot! With all your feminist sisters insisting practically on a daily basis that no, feminism and equality are not zero-sum games, how could I possibly be thinking otherwise? I just don't know what gets into me sometimes!

Perhaps I should check my BS filter. Yep, working just fine.  :roll:

scarbo -

you are quite right to point out that part. If anybody should have been able to read that far without noticing the matronising attitude and blatant bigotry of this women, after reading that part only other bigots would be able to agree with her.

this piece illustrates quite clearly why we must never leave it to women and especially to feminists to define men nor boys. it also shows us why we must be there for our sons and all the boys of the world.

many women these days simlpy do not posses universal empathy. they are able to feel with their own gender to no end, but have no understanding for the opposite gender.

I also want to point out that this is a prime example of a sadists repulsive attempt at humor. How obnoxious. Whats even more pathetic is shes using her own son as the patsy for her own twisted, marxist worldview.  :roll:

ABOUT WOMEN
Making fun of boys totally fair

Advertiser Columnist


I never thought I'd say that there's a downside to not being oppressed.

No, I don't want to be stripped of my job, my salary, my degree, my right to vote or any freedoms I enjoy.

I do want to be able to explain to a 9-year-old boy in terms he will understand why I think it's OK for girls to wear shirts that revel in their superiority over boys.

The T-shirts became an issue when my son Corwin begged me to buy his dad an "I beat your mom at Mario Kart" shirt as a testament to my poor video game skills.

Ha, ha, ha.

I struck back and suggested we buy his sister a shirt that said "Boys are stupid."

"That's so offensive," Corwin complained. "Why are they so mean? You have to write about it."

In general, I support a girl's right to offend any member of the opposite sex who happens to cross her path. In fact, I'd much rather see a little girl wearing a shirt that mocks boys than one that turns them on.

That's not a conversation I'm willing to have with a 9-year-old, though, so I used the equality argument instead.

The problem is that even smart boys like Corwin sometimes have a hard time seeing the big picture.

Women have made big strides in the past few decades, but men still dominate when it comes to high-level and highly-paid positions, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Maybe tomorrow's women will be propelled further faster if they obliterate the inferiority complex that apparently persists in some girls, especially when it comes to subjects like math and science. This "boys are stupid" thinking could lead to the obvious conclusion: Girls are smart.

Unfortunately, there was no way for me to bring this home to a boy who lives in a world full of bright and successful women, including his teacher, principal, doctors and even the governor.

His parents both have female supervisors and so does he. That would be me.

In Corwin's eyes, I'm the primary authority figure. He could be sitting six feet away from his dad and he'll still get up to find me in another room to open a container, help him with his homework or answer a question, except, of course, if it deals with video games.

My second-in-command is his bossy little sister, whose powerful personality forces all of us to bend to her whims and wiles.

So don't try telling Corwin that it's women who need to catch up. In his world, it's the men who are lagging behind.

It's not fair, he says, because everyone knows that boys are smarter than girls.

Uh-huh ... And he wonders why I support a girl's right to put boys in their place.

We must not make the mistake of thinking that all those who eat the bread of dictatorship are evil from the first; but they must necessarily become evil....The curse of a system of terror is that there is no turning back; neither in the large realm of policies nor the 'smaller' realm of everyday human relationships is it possible for men to retrace their steps."

I'd love to circulate the following bit of plagiarism to see the kind of reaction I'd get from the feminazi's, and then send their comments to Ms Shapiro as well as her editors. I have a feeling I'd get in trouble though.

Oppression of girls totally fair

I never thought I'd say that there's a downside to being the privileged gender.

No, I don't really want to strip women of their jobs, their salaries, their degrees, their right to vote or any freedoms they enjoy.

I do want to be able to explain to a 9-year-old girl in terms she will understand why I think it's OK for boys to wear shirts that revel in their privilege over girls.

The T-shirts became an issue when my daughter Corina begged me to buy her mom an "I beat your dad at Mario Kart" shirt as a testament to my poor video game skills.

Ha, ha, ha.

I struck back and suggested we buy her little brother another shirt we saw that said "How do you know when a girl is going to say something smart?" in large, bright letters followed underneath by the punchline "When you hear her say: a boy once told me..."

"That's so offensive," Corina complained. "Why are they so mean? You have to write about it."

In general, I support a boy's right to offend any member of the opposite sex who happens to cross his path. In fact, I'd much rather see a little boy wearing a shirt that mocks girls than one that boasts of his own superiority.

That's not a conversation I'm willing to have with a 9-year-old, though, so I used the equal but different argument instead.

The problem is that even smart girls like Corina sometimes have a hard time seeing the big picture.

Women have made big strides in the past few decades, but women have flooded the job market and have even become a significant presence in high-level and highly-paid positions, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  

Hopefully tomorrow's men will be propelled further faster if they reinforce the inferiority complex that apparently no longer exists in some women, especially when it comes to areas like the big business and politics. This "girls are stupid" thinking could lead to the obvious conclusion: Women should return to where they were meant to be so that men can return to where they belong.

Unfortunately, there was no way for me to bring this home to a girl who lives in a world full of bright and successful women, including her teacher, principal, doctors and even the governor.

Her parents both have female supervisors and so does she. That would be her mom.

In Corina's eyes, mom is the primary authority figure. She could be sitting six feet away from me and she'll still get up to find mom in another room to open a container, help her with her homework or answer a question, even, of course, if it deals with video games.

Her second-in-command is her bossy older sister, whose powerful personality forces both Corina and her little brother to bend to her whims and wiles.

It's not fair, she says, because everyone knows that girls are smarter than boys.

Uh-huh ... And she wonders why I support a boy's right to put girls in their place.

My posts are normally more pleasant than the last couple, perhaps I am despairing that anything will ever change.

I just sent the bitch this email:

"Your daughter is a spoilt demanding princess and you are trying your best to destroy the morale of your son. What a fucked up parent you are.

30 years of feminism and has brainwashed you into thinking abusive behaviour is not only justified but desirable and you dont even know it.

Your daughter is set to star in a porn movie, since that is where princesses who have been given everything they want wind up - still wanting everything given to them even as adults.

You should look forward to burying your son at a young age, either from suicide or the outcome of self-destructive behaviour (which is what happens to boys when their man-hating feminist mothers destroy their sense of being).

What a miserable human being you are.
