The War Against Men. Part Four

At the end of the 1960's in the UK, the war against men had begun in earnest. The women's movement had been taken over by radical left wing feminists and the accusations and insults that were to do so much damage to men over the next forty years had begun to flow.

In this article I want to look at what some of those accusations, repeated on a daily basis were. There is no better place to begin that with the utterances of Valerie Solanas in her S.C.U.M. manifesto. (SCUM was thought to mean: Society For Cutting Up Men)

Many people reading this will not be aware of who Valerie Solanas was. When they have read the things she was saying all those years ago, they may get the impression that it does not matter because she has long passed into history. That view could not be further from the truth. She is still influential today and her S.C.U.M manifesto is still being re-printed today. She died in 1998. Since her manifesto was first published, feminists have taken great pains to paint her, not as the deranged, man hating, lesbian she was, but as a hero of the feminist movement. That alone should give us plenty to think about!

Solanas was to find notoriety as the women who shot and tried to kill, the influential artist Andy Warhol and his friend and art critic Mario Amaya, in June 1968. Feminist Robin Morgan, who later became editor of Ms Magazine, demonstrated for her release from prison. (To read more. Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Solanas )

The influence of Solanas on other feminists during the 1960's until today, should not be underestimated. Her insane ramblings gave other women the feeling that it was OK to make outrageous statements against men. Here are some of Solanas' more infamous remarks:

"Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex."

"Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the y(male) gene is an incomplete x(female) gene, that is, has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples."

"The sick, irrational men, those who attempt to defend themselves against their disgustingness, when they see SCUM barrelling down on them, will cling in terror to Big Mama with her Big Bouncy Boobies, but Boobies won't protect them against SCUM; Big Mama will be clinging to Big Daddy, who will be in the corner shitting in his forceful, dynamic pants. Men who are rational, however, won't kick or struggle or raise a distressing fuss, but will just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to their demise."

The flood gates were opened and more and more women took the hint that it was OK to denigrate men. Robin Morgan was a member of the Youth International Party (Later to be known as "Yippies") and who counted mass murderer Charles Manson among their membership. She later formed W.I.T.C.H in 1968. (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell). When her organisation broke up, she moved on to become a member of the Weather Underground Movement. This was a collection of communists seeking to overthrow the American government. Morgan was also the author of "Sisterhood Is Powerful" an influential left wing, feminist book.

The communist connections of radical feminists are of vital importance to understanding why anti male hatred was so stoked up in the 60's and 70's and continues today, as left wing feminists seek to gain control of western governments.

In an article of this length I do not have space to include all of the "sisters" who were members of the communist party in the 1970's and who spearheaded the anti male drive we are all suffering under today. However, if there is the demand, I will write more on this subject later and fill in the blanks.

For men, who had always worked hard to provide for their wives and children, often at great personal sacrifice, the onslaught of male hatred that grew in crescendo doing the 1970's was deeply confusing and painful to watch and hear. Their hard work had sent daughters off to university and college and those daughters were being turned against them by what they were being taught. It broke their hearts to hear their daughters begin denouncing them in savage and vicious terms. Many a father who had fought in world war two had his spirit broken by this ungrateful tirade of hatred, as thanks for all of his hard work and personal risk for his daughters freedom. Below is just a tiny sample of what those men were forced to listen to:

"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." - Robin Morgan, MS. Magazine Editor

"Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies." - Andrea Dworkin

"And if the professional rapist is to be separated from the average dominant heterosexual [male], it may be mainly a quantitative difference." - Susan Griffin "Rape: The All-American Crime"

"The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist" - Ti-Grace Atkinson "Amazon Odyssey" (p. 86)

"[Rape] is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear" - Susan Brownmiller (Against Our Will p. 6)

"When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticizing her own oppression..." - Sheila Jeffrys

"Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometime gain from the experience," said Catherine Comins, Vassar College Assistant Dean of Student Life, in Time.

"If the classroom situation is very heteropatriarchal - a large beginning class of 50 to 60 students, say, with few feminist students - I am likely to define my task as largely one of recruitment...of persuading students that women are oppressed," said Professor Joyce Trebilcot of Washington University in "Who Stole Feminism: How Women Have Betrayed Women."

"We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men." Elizabeth Cady Stanton, quoted in " One Woman, One Voice ", Wheeler, page 58.

"No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one." Simone de Beauvoir, author of _The Second Sex_, the book that is credited with launching the mainstream of the modern feminist movement.

And so it goes.., on and on and on. Do you think that men could say any of these things were the genders reversed and not end up in jail under left wing hate laws?

For dads, brothers, fathers and sons, growing up in the decades from the 1960's until today, there has been a constant stream of denigration of their gender. The effects of which have been to confuse, induce fear, create uncertainty about their role in life, and to breed a hatred for women in some men that is truly staggering. There can be little doubt that the increase in rape and other violent crimes against women are a direct result of this evil and persistent propaganda and each new incident fuels the hatred against men in a self perpetuating cycle. Men and women who have supported this evil have much to answer for, yet women in general are strangely silent. There are no large demonstrations attended by hoards of women calling for an end to this discrimination. Why? I think, largely because they benefit from it too much!

It was a broken hearted grandfather I met in 1978 who sat with me in an east end café crying like a child, who first awakened in me the realisation of what was going on.

"Son." He said. "My generation fought two long and bloody wars to try and prevent what is happening today. We spilled our blood and gave our limbs to give you kids the chance to be free. We did not know then that the greatest enemy of that freedom was not the man in the grey uniform on the battlefield, but the women in the nice skirt; with the blinding smile and armed with the weapon of lies and insults. She is the one that will destroy our families. Not the German with the tank, but her.., with her lies."

His rage at feminism was understandable. In this week, when people all over the world remember what his generation did for us. Can we afford to sit back and let their blood mix with foreign soil for nothing?

I believe that the most dangerous creature on the planet is a disempowered man. If I am right, then over the next few decades, the whirlwind sown by feminism will reap a terrible harvest on women. Only the pulling down and driving out of these people will stop it. Over the next few articles in this series I want to look at how that might be achieved and by whom.
