Feminism as a Hate Movement and Censor of Free Speech

Modern feminism encapsulates the worldview of patriarchy, female oppression at the hands of men and male privilege. Even now in our modern Western society these tenets are held as truths. They are circulated and promoted by our media, governments, educational institutions and the wider community without question by the feminist movement. I will shatter the patriarchy myth in another article, as modern society is far more complicated than that! In this article, I wanted to look at how patriarchy theory impacts the thinking and actions of modern feminists. What patriarchy theory set’s up, is a perceptual framework in which men play the villains and women the victims. Women are the vulnerable creatures, pure and good. Men on the other hand, are the powerful, overbearing and evil brutes responsible for virtually every societal problem and most importantly the oppression of women. No man dares to question this perceptual framework because they would automatically be branded as oppressors, misogynists and uncompassionate monsters. If a woman questions this frame of thinking, then this initially causes confusion. How can a woman say that? They ask themselves. This confusion quickly turns to anger and she is then regarded as betraying the sisterhood or a victim of brainwashing by the patriarchy and religious zealots.

The problem with modern feminism, is that the patriarchy/male privilege/male oppression of women paradigm fosters a mindset of victimhood. A number of feminists appear to have developed a psychological condition called, “victim mentality”. This is neither good for women or men. Indeed victim mentality has been linked to totalitarian societies. One example of such a society was Nazi Germany. Like many modern feminists, Hitler had a victim mentality. He used his belief in his own oppression and that of the Germans expressed in his autobiography “Mein Kampf”, to justify the oppression and eventual extermination of the Jews. Just like Nazism, modern feminism revolves around a philosophy of hatred of a group of people based on some perceived wrongdoing they committed. The oppression feminists erroneously perceive from men, becomes a self-serving moral justification for virtually any action they deem necessary to further their cause, regardless of the social consequences. They become perceptually blind to the immorality of their own actions and dehumanise those they consider to be oppressing them, which is in this case men. This is what an "us against them" mentality brings about.

Victim mentality is one of the most destructive forces in human history. It divides people against each other and promotes conflict from perceived wrongdoings. The feminist patriarchy theory paradigm frames gender relations as a form of marxist class conflict and is inherently corrosive to social cohesion and the relationship between men and women. Hatred, hypocrisy and bigotry are natural outcomes of such a perceptual framework. When you are given so many reasons to hate another group of people you perceive to be oppressing you, moral inhibitions will be removed. When men are demonised and vilified, then attacking men can be portrayed as not just acceptable, but justifiable. This is the same psychology behind the portrayal and treatment of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

A victimhood mentality encourages women to devolve into an infantile mindset when they face challenges or problems. It also makes feminists frame any support of men’s rights as a hostile attack. This even applies when such support of men's rights can clearly be seen by any casual observer, to be harmless to women and respectful of women’s rights. Indeed that is exactly what happened at Dr. Warren Farrell’s lecture at the University of Toronto. Dr. Farrell is a man who ironically played a substantive role in the early days of the feminist movement and was elected three times to the feminist organisation NOW. Please watch the adjacent video to see what unfolded at his lecture and the behaviour of feminists. How is giving a lecture on the boy crisis in education hate speech? They are crazy! Unfortunately incidents such as this are not rare when advocating for men's human rights issues (here are more examples). They happen often. A men’s human rights activist can’t even put up posters to support men’s rights without being harassed and the posters taken down. That even applies when the posters are clearly not in the least bit misogynist. Again I have attached an adjacent video to this article, documenting one such instance of this and how feminists behaved.

What I know and what all men’s human rights activists and men in general eventually come to understand, is that modern feminism is in favour of censorship of free speech and oppression of men’s human rights issues. Again this mirrors the Nazi party and their treatment of free speech and the Jews. There is simply no rational justification for their actions and indeed as you can see from the videos, these feminists could provide none when they were repeatedly questioned about their behaviour. On a side-note, I found their treatment of police to be disgraceful!

The patriarchy/male privilege paradigm, has been allowed to grow unquestioned and unchallenged in the collective psyche of our society for far too long. It has been the constant reinforcement of this belief system in wider society and the emotional outcry at anyone that dares question it, which has allowed radical feminism to take over the feminist movement and influence society. By all reports from the pioneering feminists of the time, feminism started out as a movement for equal opportunity for women. There was no talk about female superiority, propaganda about rape culture, misandric commentary from bigots like Andrea Dworkin (see photo at the start of this article), talk of the genocide of men by feminists like Mary Daly and Sally Miller Gearhart, or misandric garbage like the SCUM manifesto. The pioneers of feminism were actually authentic advocates of equality. Unfortunately their leadership of the feminist movement was to be short lived.

In the mid-70s and early 80s the radicals moved in and patriarchy theory was established. Slowly but surely they acquired more and more power in feminist organisations. It is a sad fact of life that often the people with the loudest rather than the most honourable voice get the power. The radicals drowned out the moderates within their ranks and used their authority to impose their dogma on feminism. With government funding and support from a misled, misinformed public, they lobbied our governments, media and business community to push their propaganda. Over the decades this has had a deleterious impact on education, virtually every branch of government service, our legal system, our economy, politics, the family and perhaps most importantly our culture.

A movement that started out as a legitimate effort to advocate for women’s equality, has been transformed into a hate movement. Radical feminists justify their actions on the basis of their belief system in patriarchy and male oppression of women. Instead of finding a cooperative framework to advocate for women’s rights between the genders, men have been pitted against women. Modern feminism is now a movement that seeks to acquire power at the expense of men in a win/lose zero sum game. This is no longer about equality for them, it is about power. The "us against them" mentality is not only destructive, but also has no basis in reality. What impacts one gender will eventually impact the other. We see this in men’s education and their subsequent working life. Unemployment and poor academic performance among men is starting to have a negative impact on women’s lives. Women are struggling with their partners to pay off a mortgage primarily on one wage and in finding Mr Right.

Sooner of later the feminist movement is going to collapse in on itself. Why? Because it does not obey a simple fundamental law, the law of sustainability. Taking action to demean and exclude half the population from society to support women’s rights is unsustainable. Justifying their actions on the basis of a belief system in patriarchy is going to become increasingly difficult. The public is going to find it harder and harder to reconcile the notion it is a man’s world, when in reality so many men are struggling. Eventually there is going to be a major public backlash to modern feminism and there are signs that this has already begun. Perhaps the greatest enemy of modern feminism has been the internet. No longer do radical feminists have a monopoly over the flow of information through their control, censorship and disinformation campaign in the media. People are starting to come out of the woodwork in droves on YouTube, internet blogs and websites like “A Voice For Men” and even on HubPages. There is no sign of this decreasing and in fact the numbers of dissidents are growing in both genders at a rate that would have most radical feminists alarmed.

I am convinced that the man crisis in society is going to have a profound impact on our economy over the next thirty years, as we all reap the destructive seeds sown by the application of feminist dogma in the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s. Sooner or later the public outcry will no longer be something our politicians will be able to ignore. Feminist organisations will risk losing public support, funding and the political and social influence they have long enjoyed, if they fail to change their ways. Ironically old age feminists were hoping that the next wave of feminism would see a return to the authentic advocacy of equality, but have been sadly disappointed by the continued growth of radicalism in the movement.

If feminism wants to remain relevant to society, then it must stop allowing bigots to hold prominent and influential positions within the movement, develop a cooperative orientation rather than an antagonistic one with the emerging men’s movement and adopt a belief system that recognises that sexual discrimination affects men as well as women. Anything less and feminism will become extinct like Nazism, White Supremacy and so many other hateful totalitarian ideologies. Indeed in the light of the actions of modern feminists, I consider the term, "Feminazi’s", to be a fairly accurate description of members of what is now undoubtedly a hate movement.

Above all if feminists want to remain relevant, then they must self-police and call out bigotry and misandry within their ranks. Society will no longer put up with it!
