Pete Townsend gives an anthem, with a universal meaning.
A Popular song From 1965: which secretly addresses a common dilemma.
Conveying a simple message: he can't possibly relate to women.
Now, does that sound like a familiar story, or what ? This creates a realistic picture of those issues which affect our lives most profoundly. We're accustomed to hearing political rhetoric, whilst all social issues are completely ignored.
So, previous generations of males experienced the same problems as today.
The actual message was disguised by pop-lyrics. But, Pete gained a large following when discussing his true intentions behind the song. Decades later, he stated that many teenage males agreed with his feelings. It's very difficult to relate to women. Few of them are humble, or down-to-earth. Below is a Live version of this song.
Most men are guilty of the same basic crime: They cannot depend upon eachother for friendship. And, the following song asks the burning question: How many friends have I really got ??

For Three Decades, Men's Rights: Social Awareness has discussed a basic issue. Everything is done from the WOMAN'S perspective. So, for example, when you join a dating agency, they give advice which is derogatory to men. They often explain "what he's doing wrong". And, how to correct further mistakes. While, the woman is taught precisely "which qualities to look for, in a man". You could visit any dating site, right now, and see comparable results. Now, by the same token, most books follow this same format. SO, when Dr. Phil offered advice regarding dating, in his book, the results were not surprising. And, by no measure is Dr. Phil an extremist. This is a standard rule.
The media has abused men for several decades. Their bias has shown, over and over again. But, suddenly, during the "Duke-Lacrosse" incident, a good reason was given. Men supposedly think it's cool to brutally rape women, while society accepts this idea. But, hasn't anyone observed the previous decades of Special-Interest perpetrated by the media, thus far ? So, why then do you accept their reasoning when a solidified issue comes forth?
Although the Duke-Lacrosse incident was proven to be a hoax, it leads to wonder if the events had actually taken place. IT would have obviously been transformed into a wide-scale gender issue. That's how Journalism has been destroying relations, for ages. So, why is the public so gullible ? Every major news story develops into a "gender-war". This serves an another example of inequality. Men are faced with the indignity of a hostile media. This goes far beyond the issue of mere bias. And, if anyone remembers the "Duke-Lacrosse" incident, this was quickly billed as an outcry for justice by all women (targeted against every man). Such epidemic campaigns could be prevented if overzealous Reporters were promptly expelled from the industry. We should not tolerate such yellow Journalism. This is an all-out abuse of power. Essentially, a large percentage of reporters actively promote Feminism. But, they use specific issues to justify their actions.
Below, you'll find the type of material which is taught in "Women's Studies Courses". It's clearly unsuitable for public education. And, these represent actual examples. So, it's no wonder why more women are able to become University Graduates. She's given the opportunity to indulge upon issues which suite her own best interests, rather than warranting educational merit.
The Sin of the Father
objective" truth and, in so doing, marginalize the languages of others. The attack upon the father is the point at which feminism and postmodernism come together. Typically called the patriarch, the rule of the father is seen as the most long-lived and pervasive structure of oppression. According to this view, the father has oppressed and marginalized all those who are not like him, fashioning the discourses of "civilization" to support and obscure this oppression. Under cover of this camouflage, he has pursued only his selfish interest, not caring at all for anyone else. More than just controlling, he represents control itself, and were it not for his domination, freedom and self-expression would have reigned. Were it not for him, the different voices that he has silenced would have been able to create their own discourses, making a world full of difference and multifarious beauty. So terrible is this tyrant and the social order he created, that resistance to it can provide a basic direction for an individual's life. Now this is a substantial indictment and a skeptic might wonder at its balance. Surely there have been malignant fathers. These fathers have sinned, this skeptic might agree, but have there not been benign and even beneficent ones, as well. If it is fair to say that civilization has represented patriarchal domination, certainly it has also manifested concern for the well being of the groups he has led.
How does one account for the unqualified character of this denunciation? To make sense of it, one must assume that the evil he has done has so far outweighed the good that it is not necessary even to measure the latter1. But what was this evil? What did the father do, or what was he believed to have done, that was responsible for this absolute condemnation? Surely this cannot have been just the collection of sins that fathers have committed, on the order of the sins that all human beings commit. It cannot have been just the sins of fathers. It must have been more than that. Let us call it the Sin of the Father.
What was supposed to have been the Sin of the Father? Our inquiry has put this question in a different light. It has brought us to the view that the ideas of toxic man, Madonna-and-child, and the sexual holy war, are external representations of inter-psychic phenomena, and that what is under attack is the traditional role of the father. It is easy enough to see the idea of the Sin of the Father as 137 (PAGE 137)
an aspect of this. But doing so raises its own question. For these intra-psychic phenomena are timeless. They have always existed and will always exist. Why have they arisen in this form in our own time, rather than before? My contention is that one cannot answer the question of the Sin of the Father without a comprehension of the meaning of the accusation itself. And the meaning of the accusation cannot be understood without an understanding of its context. For the idea of patriarchal evil cannot be understood in isolation. It did not emerge out of no place.
Rather, it expressed and represented a social dynamic of the time. Understanding it, then, must require understanding that social dynamic and seeing the place of the idea within it. That will be the purpose of this chapter.
I will examine the roots of the belief in the badness of the father, looking at its social origins and its psychodynamics, trying ultimately to reveal its meaning. My course of investigation will require the elucidation of the connection between the father and the corporation man, a figure who is deeply involved in this play of meanings. I will proceed from there to an analysis of his family. In the end, we will be better able to understand the nature of the Sin of The Father..
The above "Woman's Studies" article is little more than foolish opinions, fueled by prejudice. But, it's really no different than the entire industry of Feminist literature. And, This is the type of meaningless garbage which appears in Women's Studies Courses.
Also, you'll notice how feminized literature is always supported with references from similar authors. And, this somehow validates their actions.

The Following list was comprised by Women. It was their response to an enormous article citing that every imaginable stereotype supposedly favors men.
1. I have a much lower chance of being murdered than a man.
2. I have a much lower chance of being driven to successfully commit suicide than a man.
3. I have a lower chance of being a victim of a violent assault than a man.
4. I have probably been taught that it is acceptable to cry.
5. I will probably live longer than the average man.
6. Most people in society probably will not see my overall worthiness
as a person being exclusively tied to how high up in the hierarchy I
rise.
7. I have a much better chance of being considered to be a worthy mate
for someone, even if I'm unemployed with little money, than a man.
8. I am given much greater latitude to form close, intimate friendships than a man is.
9. My chance of suffering a work-related injury or illness is significantly lower than a man's.
10. My chance of being killed on the job is a tiny fraction of a man's.
11. If I shy away from fights, it is unlikely that this will damage my
standing in my peer group or call into question my worthiness as a sex
partner.
12. I am not generally expected to be capable of violence. If I lack
this capacity, this will generally not be seen as a damning personal
deficiency.
13. If I was born in North America since WWII, I can be almost certain
that my genitals were not mutilated soon after birth, without
anesthesia.
14. If I attempt to hug a friend in joy, it's much less likely
that my friend will wonder about my sexuality or pull away in unease.
15. If I seek a hug in solace from a close friend, I'll have much
less concern about how my friend will interpret the gesture or whether
my worthiness as a member of my gender will be called into question.
16. I generally am not compelled by the rules of my sex to wear emotional armor in interactions with most people.
17. I am frequently the emotional center of my family.
18. I am allowed to wear clothes that signify 'vulnerability', 'playful openness', and 'softness'.
19. I am allowed to BE vulnerable, playful, and soft without calling my worthiness as a human being into question.
20. If I interact with other people's children ---particularly people I don't know very well -- I do not have
to worry much about the interaction being misinterpreted.
21. If I have trouble accommodating to some aspects of gender demands,
I have a much greater chance than a man does of having a sympathetic
audience to discuss the unreasonableness of the demand, and a much
lower chance that this failure to accommodate will be seen as
signifying my fundamental inadequacy as a member of my gender.
22. I am less likely to be shamed for being sexually inactive than a man.
23. From my late teens through menopause, for most levels of sexual
attractiveness, it is easier for me to find a sex partner at my
attractiveness level than it is for a man.
24. My role in my child's life is generally seen as more important than the child's father's role.
1. I'm under less pressure than others to engage in risky,
dangerous and unhealthy behaviors - one of the reasons I get to live
longer than others do. 2. I can choose professions that are less lucrative, and not be called a loser. 3. If I don't rise to the top of my profession, it's OK --people won't judge me the less for it. 4.
I'm entitled to the benefits of a safe, orderly society, but no
one expects me to risk my personal safety to maintain it. 5. I have the right to have the overwhelming majority of personal risk suffered in defense of my country handled by others. 6. I'm allowed to avoid violence, and even run from it, without the risk I'll be laughed at.
7.
If I see someone else in danger, I'm allowed to stop and think
carefully about my personal risk before saving them, without my courage
being called into question.
8. I have the right to avoid risky, dangerous challenges, and not be called a coward. 9.
I'm allowed to cry as a child and tell my parents I'm
scared of something -- my parents won't be disappointed with me. 10. I have the right to have most of the really dangerous professions handled by others. 11. If I commit a crime, I get less jail time than others would get for the exact same crime. 12.
When I find myself with others in a terrifying, life-threatening
situation, I have the right to be evacuated first, once the children
are safe. Others can wait.
13. If I get slaughtered as part of some
atrocity, people will be especially outraged and will call particular
attention to the fact I was slaughtered. When others are slaughtered,
it isn't quite as upsetting.
14. I have the right to give my child
up for adoption, and thus totally repudiate any personal and financial
responsibilities I might otherwise have. 15. I can choose whether I
want to be a parent or not, knowing that society will compel the other
parent to meet their financial responsibilities - whether they want to
or not. 16. If I am personally attacked, I expect otherwise safe, otherwise uninvolved people to come to my defense. 17.
If I see someone else being attacked, I'm not expected to risk my
own safety to defend them. It's OK for me to wait for others to
intervene, and it's also OK for me to criticize others if they
don't.
18. In any dispute involving custody, I'm granted the presumption that I am the better, safer parent. 19. I have the right to interact with children not my own, and not have people look at me suspiciously. 20.
If I choose to become a parent, people understand if I want to focus
entirely on the personal, day-to-day care and nurturing of my children.
Society expects my spouse to make enough money to make this choice
possible.
21. I can get real nasty when someone makes me mad, and
call them ugly, a loser, a nerd, a geek, a disgusting creep, a
revolting little worm, a worthless piece of garbage, a scum bag, a
wimp, a pervert, a jerk-off, an old fart, or a fat slob. After all, I
have the right not to be treated meanly at work, and the right not to
hear harsh things that might make me uncomfortable. I have legal
recourse if that right is not respected, and I have the right to make
this perfectly clear on my job interview.
22. I'm allowed to
embrace and cultivate my spiritual qualities, and adopt a more elevated
and more refined view of life - because other people handle all the "dirty work" like: yard work, garbage hauling, construction, fishing,
mining, sewage disposal, street cleaning, long distance trucking,
baggage handling, painting, sandblasting, and cement work.
23. If I
fail at something, I can go to college and study the historical forces
and social constructs that make it harder for people like me. If others
fail, it's because they just don't have what it takes.
24. If I fail at almost everything, I can always teach college courses that explain why people like me fail a lot.
Here's another list. The material originally appeared on sites which are now defunct. Please bear with the author of this article, "Pete". It is not perfectly written, but the ideas are worth-while. The following article is not altered:
The
last thing feminism is about is equality. If it was then I would
support it. No, feminism is all about privilege for women at the expense
of men. Remember, these are the same women who fight to get into
men's-only clubs but support banning men from women-only health
clubs as discriminatory. Here are some more of their double standards.
The female/feminist privilege checklist:
1. Do you experience
other people paying for your dates, or occasionally even picking up the
tab in non-romantic settings? Or paying for vacations when the
relationship moves along?
2. Do you occasionally experience
subservient gestures by the opposite sex(opening doors, giving up a
seat in the bus, standing up when you come in the room)?
3. Are you
able to simply pursue what you are interested in at university without
much societal pressure on "breadwinning" - although
you could also take that route if it interests you?
4.a. Have you
had to register for selective service? Would you be ripped out of your
life and forced to defend your country in time of attack or national
emergency? Can you demand strength and full participation in society,
but then get out of this obligation by pretending to be weak with no
influence over society (only when it suits you)?
4.b. Can you come
up with any and every excuse to get out of this without being laughed
at ("No one should be drafted" --when you would be
the first to cower in the corner and demand that someone do something
if China & Russia combined and attacked full force - and
“If men start wars..." when women are the majority of
voters and the expression is more likely "Men are SENT in wars..." -exactly what you're trying to get out of - and sometimes sent by M. Thatcher, G. Meir, I. Gandhi, B.
Bhutto and others)
5. Will you statistically get a much lighter sentence for exactly the same offense if you commit a crime?
6.
Are you able to take on a job or choose a career route that is only
capable of supporting yourself, with no thought to preparing yourself
to also support a spouse/children, although you are also free to choose
a more difficult career that will bring you more money? Do you not have
much pressure on you with regard to this?
7. If you are in a
committed relationship, do you have much greater flexibility to choose
whether you want to work or simply stay at home (even without kids)?
8. Will you be called an unemployed loser if you decide to be a homemaker?
9.
If you have a flat tire on the road, if someone is harassing you in a
public place, if an animal attacks you, or if you are lost, will
someone be much, much more likely to help you?
10. Are people generally much nicer to you in public? Are you sometimes given privileged treatment?
11. Are you much more capable of “marrying up” - enjoying the money and status that comes with this?
12.
Are you statistically much more likely to be given money in a divorce - sometimes huge amounts - even if your behavior caused the
divorce (e.g. affair) and even if you didn’t work for the money?
13.
If you slap a person - or even knock someone’s tooth out
throwing your Aunt Selma's Christmas mug at that person -
is it much more likely to just be viewed as cute, understandable or not
a problem?
14. Do you statistically live much longer - possibly due to less stress on you with regard to breadwinning,
providing protection, being responsible, not having society viewing you
as “expendable” or viewing your problems as not being
important?
15. Do you have much more money spent on your health
concerns in reality (e.g. 5 times as much on breast cancer as on
prostate cancer – although they have roughly the same death
rates) while you simultaneously claim that more has to be done for you?
16. Are you much less likely to be homeless? Is more offered to you by society when you are in this position?
17.
Is there far less scorn and pressure on you by society when you are an
irresponsible doofus? Are your default rates for payment of child
support roughly twice those of the other gender, while you
simultaneously complain about the other gender not paying?
18. Has
whining about and hating the other gender actually been made into a
course of studies in college (women’s studies) – as opposed
to the true, neutral, unbiased study of this topic - which is
simply anthropology?
19. Do you have full opportunity to do anything
you want in life - become a doctor, a lawyer, start a business
– while simultaneously using the fact that many of your gender
don’t CHOOSE themselves to do these things as an argument to try
to gain even more advantages? Do you get affirmative action because
many of your gender don’t choose to do these things, and thus the
numbers don’t "come out right"?
20. Can you
manipulate the other gender with sex in some cases to get what you
want? Can you pretend like you don’t even know what anyone is
talking about on this topic?
21. Can you manipulate using old notions of men protecting and deferring to women when it comes in handy?
22. Can you effectively manipulate by playing the victim? Do tears work sometimes?
23.
Can you get sympathy if you don’t work and don’t have
children by listing all the household work (hmm … Oprah really
does get high ratings, though) while simultaneously being able to bear
the cognitive dissonance of calling your sister’s husband who
stays home a worthless bum that she ought to leave?
24. Can you "mix and match" traditional and progressive roles -
finding just the right mix to get what you want? Can you be a "traditional wife" – enjoying the positive features
of that (like not having to work) - while simultaneously being a
progressive feminist when THAT gets you advantages? Or having a career
while simultaneously using traditional chivalry and male deference to
your advantage?
25. Can you constantly say "that’s just
typical" and "it doesn’t surprise me a bit" and
make a lemon face if you are a parent-in-law? Is near-universal
contempt by both genders for your behavior hidden to a much greater
extent?
26. Can almost any remark by your partner be construed as
verbal abuse if you want sympathy, but the meanest, nastiest, most
humiliating things that you can say simply involve "speaking your
mind" and "some people just don’t want to hear the
truth"?
27. Can you use the fact that gender roles were
differentiated long ago - with different advantages/disadvantages
for both genders – to try to induce guilt today in people who had
absolutely no connection with any of that? Can you say that you have
been discriminated against for thousands of years – when
you’re only 20 years old - with a straight face? Can you
even make things up about history and no one will really check or dare
call you on it?
28. Can you propagate myths and outright lies
("Superbowl/domestic violence hoax", "rule of
thumb", 1/4 rape statistic, intentional misconstrual of pay
figures, and many more) and be given a “pass” -
without more rigor being demanded?
29. Can you rationalize your own
failures using the concept of the “patriarchy”, and blame
the other gender for nearly everything that goes wrong in your life
– even with quite contorted explanations that no one would
otherwise buy - while failures of the other gender are just
… failures?
30. Do you want to be treated like a child when
it suits you but as an adult when you get an advantage from that? Do
you “look the other way” when someone doesn’t require
responsibility from you that they certainly would from the other gender?
31.
Can you focus heavily on perceived earnings in the workforce -
the statistics of which are influenced by people’s choices in
reality – while utterly ignoring the inter-family transfer of
wealth? Can you completely ignore the fact that one gender picks
tougher jobs (garbage collector), works more hours and takes on more
responsibility because of more pressure to earn – but the other
gender has the same lifestyle and statistically more assets (and not
just because of inheritance/earlier age of male at death...). Can
you deliberately claim that earnings figures are based on equal pay for
equal work? (when you probably full well know that they simply involve
all people working more than 35 hours – and don’t take type
of job, hours worked over 35/week, danger, responsibility, years in the
work force etc. into consideration at all).
32. Is what used to
simply be an irritation for grown-ups many years ago - the
self-centered rantings and foot stompings of spoiled high-school and
college brats – now not only embraced by your movement but almost
the modern cornerstone of it?
33. And if you are irritated about
generalizations and stereotypes - and utterly fail to see the
hypocrisy in stereotyping and generalizing about one gender while
simultaneously making a career (literally in some cases) whining about
your own gender being stereotyped … … you may have female/feminist privilege! Congratulations!
But don’t let on - because you can gain much more with a continual and manipulative victim status.
I found this today, it was originally on the Forbes forum. Good
times, great writing. This guy is a budding MRA with fire in his belly.
Have you ever wondered why feminism seems to be unavoidable ?? By literal terms, it constantly invades our space. And, people are not allowed to live freely without influence. The following TAGS give some indication as to the personality of the typical feminist.
A feminist wrote a short blog. And, she actually placed all these tags along with it. Thus, if you type any search-word listed below, you're likely to be re-directed to a feminist article.
......Hmmmm. And, you always wondered why it seems, feminism is everywhere ???
Here are the TAGS which appear on a Feminized Blog. She apparently used every word imaginable to draw attention to herself.
