First, a caveat: most critical discussions of feminism concentrate on refuting its doctrines, such as the ascription of feminine traits to upbringing rather than nature. My approach will be different. While such formal refutation of doctrines is not valueless, it seems to me to mistake the fundamental character of feminism. The feminist movement consists essentially not of ideas at all but of attitudes, or even mere emotions. Feminist "theory," as it is grandiloquently called, is simply whatever the women in the movement come up with in post facto justification of their attitudes and emotions. A heavy focus on feminist doctrine seems to me symptomatic of the rationalist fallacy: the assumption that people are motivated primarily by beliefs. If they were, the best way to combat an armed doctrine would indeed be to demonstrate that its beliefs are false. But in the case of feminism, even more than Marxism and other political ideologies, it is rather the beliefs that are motivated by various personal and nonrational needs. I propose, therefore, that feminism may be better understood through a consideration of the feminist herself.
A feminist in the strict and proper sense may be defined as a woman who envies the male role.
The Two-Party System of Gender Politics

The objective political situation of men in Western civilization being what it presently is, it would be asking far too much of any male citizen that he should agitate for women's advantages, or trouble himself in the least with women's political issues.
A Middle-Aged Princess Grows Up
Submitted by Egghead on Fri, 12/28/2007 - 09:48.On the cusp of my 45th birthday, I made the mistake of looking in the mirror. It wasn’t the bathroom mirror, it was a photo I had from graduate school. I looked at myself 20 years ago and had a startling and clear epiphany. It wasn’t a happy moment. It was a terribly sad moment. It was so sad that I involuntarily burst into tears, something I haven’t done since the dark days of my divorce.
I looked at the photo and came to the conclusion that I had made a real mess of my life.
Feminism vs. Male Sexuality
Submitted by Egghead on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 15:55.Feminism vs. Male Sexuality
By Kevin Biomech
Males in our culture are damned. Not because of what we do, or even what we did or thought, but because we are male. It has become de rigeur to bash all things male, so much so that you might even find yourself believing it. In particular, feminists like to damn our sexuality. Not because they find any good reason, but because it's our biggest weakness as well as our greatest strength. Enemies always look for the loosest armour or the weakest walls.
Feminist 'Justice' at Duke

Posted: 10/18/2007
The falsely-accused Duke University lacrosse players are suing the city of Durham and prosecutor Michael Nifong for malicious prosecution, claiming “one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial, and scientific misconduct in modern American history.” In fact, their ordeal was nothing out of the ordinary.
Few Americans realize how extensively our criminal justice system has been corrupted by leftist ideology. It has now reached the point where the criminals are prosecuting law-abiding citizens.

It's all about revenge, not equality
By Lydia Lovric -- Winnipeg Sun
One of the biggest lies perpetuated by modern-day feminists is the contention that feminism is about equality. Feminists aren't interested in equality. What they want is revenge.
