  1. At least from the late 1990s there have been women tackling the misandry at the core of modern feminism. Melanie Philips and Rosie Boycott spring to mind. Often as a result of having sons these women have been sidelined by the “blob” as bitter etc. Of course male voices are easily cast out as “they would say that wouldn’t they. 
    Generally men have been indifferent until actual personal experiences have made them see the truth. Inevitably they can be made to seem to just be “angry” about their experience. 
    This coupled with the White Knightery deep within our socialisation ( biology even) means the “blob” has brushed off criticism. 
    There is something different now. With Honey Badgers, Academics, women like Laura Perrins and women in WAF taking on and pummelling the feminist “blob” . Also men’s voices are changing from airing grievances to presenting a coherent critique. 
    My own view it is women who have to be supported in this fight and men should work both to alert and support men to see the misandry and continue, as with AVFM, to focus on the fight for Human Rights. I think of the decades Warren Farrell has stood against the US blob and how unsupported. In my estimation just because he’s a man. 
    I think “Girl Writes What” is so right when she observes that the very effectiveness of the shaming and hysteria directed at dissenting male voices proves the gynocentric basis of our culture. 
    That being so for the moment us men may have to slog away getting the ammunition and giving support to the women wanting to enter the fray in direct attacks on the ideology. 
    It’s not how I think it should be just how I think a real push can be made to dislodge the ideology from it’s PC protection. 
    And if I may say so I think J4MB has it right. Meeting shaming with calm and stoical resolve. Creating a programme that I hope will enable men from different perspectives to link behind key changes for the good of all. 
    As I final point I do think that it is working. The energy going into the “all men are rapist” moral panics is painting the ideology into a new Puritanism. However silly the “slut walks” are they represent I think a real fault line. For the new Puritanism is unpopular with women themselves unused to having anyone telling them what to do. They sense their liberation is being attacked. And it’s not by men.

  2. Just listened to this from JB. It is iconic of my last point . In it’s final 5 minutes , a mother of three simply relates how her 5 year old son is told off for giving some flowers to a girl at school on Valentines day( apartment he was “sexualising” her). JB sums up by pointing out that this is a real effect in people’s lives of the ideology the two feminists simply dismiss personal experiences as irrelevant. In those iconic few minutes there is illustrated:
    The lofty disregard for boys and men.
    Hypocrisy from people who would vehemently argue that every woman’s experience is valid.
    The demonisation of males.
    Why boys are let down by the school system.
    How mothers see their sons being damaged.
    Why as JB points out there is need for WAF.

    In the rest of the debate there was( under a load of rubbish) considerable agreement on the facts of the case. Even JBs points on equal parenting. But in the crucial test of a policy, how it effects ordinary people’s lives the feminists showed they couldn’t give a ****
