Men bashing

I'm quite keen on calling out patriarchy.

Definitely agree with you there. I always find it easy to compare any equality issues to when people had to fight for race equality and were getting attacked for their race etc.
And it's the same with that, some took it too far and just created hate groups instead of trying to unite people or just make them equal.
You can't hate an entire gender and say they're all terrible people and act all shocked when somebody does the same to you.
I don't like the fact that men are generally seen as being above women, but no way would I want the tables turned and women to be above men, just being equal is fine.

The poster you are referring to had all posts deleted in the thread you are referring to.

The poster you are referring to has an interesting posting style. If I say any more this post will get deleted but I would not necessarily take that poster's posts (or either element of the username) at face value.

I think it's just some people who are angry about how they've been treated by certain men who take it out on all men. Thankfully not too many are like that though. They've always been around though, it isnt a new thing. Some women just don't like men the same way some men just don't like women. There are of course lots of issues to be dealt with like domestic abuse, assault etc, but taring all men with the same brush will not help those issues.

Hi Avon I didn't know you are male... I was speaking about 2 other male posters on this and another thread. But interesting that I got a hat trick dropping the A Dworkin bomb! Wow!

Elendon As I mentioned to Sillage, I did not post to IBTP and nor did I try. The text I posted above is taken directly from the website's 'A Handbook to Commenters', see here the advice to dudes.

Maybe this level of prejudice will interest the OP.

This is why I really like listening to lesbians online. Especially when a man enters. The male incredulity about lesbianism is awesome to behold.

GuardianLions:

"Because whatever it is, they don't miss a beat to try and put women off from reading her....."

Not sure if this was aimed at me? I wouldn't try and put anyone off from reading her, in fact I have recommended and lent Intercourse to a few people, including my sister who is an anti-feminist and lent me a book on discrimination against men in retaliation!

I think everyone should read a wide range of sources rather than just listening to an echo chamber and basing everything on your own narrow worldview. I also think that Dworkin did broadly say that all sex is rape, and I agree to a certain degree, as a man, penetrative heterosexual intercourse does feel quite like that.

So Cadno, it was a clear and distinguishable no to you posting on her blog but you still refuse to listen to it and accept it?

That's really not nice behaviour now, is it?

Cadno obviously didn't understand the message. Bless.

Or it could be that he did understand the message but refuses to listen to it anyway. Which is not nice behaviour.

Funny, but true:

I think what you are experiencing is called internalised misogyny. Where you feel uncomfortable about women speaking out against men.

You say you know some good 'uns, so talking about men as a collective, like the Borg or something isn't correct. But you just did just that, the individual comments on the treads don't represent a singular thought we all share.

OP - cadno is about to give a masterclass, so pay attention.

Men like him don't like it when women get together and discuss things that make them uncomfortable. So they push in, undermine, insult and derail.

For some reason, women who don't hold men as the centre of their universe really get up the noses of people like him

Twisty sounds like someone I'd like to be better acquainted with. Thanks for 'introducing' here

Have you found examples yet of man bashing? Or is this yet another thread where you come along and make a disparaging comment about this part of the forum and then fuck off until next time?

You, like far too many narcissistic men, think you drop witty one-liners but they're just trite, rehashed turds.

Looks like someone is in need of their afternoon nap.

Sounds like good wisdom to fend off masturbators like you.

And yet, a few rare male posters like norbizness were welcome there for years because he didn't shove his head up his dickhole before conversing with feminists.

Feminism ? - I never write about Feminism.

Then maybe you should shut the fuck up about things you don't know anything about. Like feminism.

Here's some text taken from IBTP....

"Dudes make lousy feminists. Therefore, by popular demand, this blog endeavors to cultivate dude-free discourse. Any comment that expresses views proceeding from any discernible male-identified perspective, even if it is superficially pro-feminist, is not suitable for posting here. Generally speaking, this means:

If you’re a dude, don’t post here.

Don’t use the comments section either to ask feminists to explain feminism to you, or to explain feminism to feminists, or to explain anything to anybody. The Unique Male Experience of Patriarchy is not an appropriate topic, so don’t be this guy.
By the way, this blog doesn’t care if this policy pissed you off. You’re obviously an asshole."

I never posted there or tried to. As far as I could make out, male posters were blocked as soon as their sex was revealed. However, I didn't visit the website all that often.

"I Blame The Patriarchy...A website that banned men from posting irrespective of their views. Ahh dear old Twisty. Ho Ho"

There were regular male posters at IBTP, cadnowyllt.

Perhaps Twisty banned you because you have a tendency to shove your head up your dickhole when speaking to feminists?
