Frederick Charles Hicks Doubleday 1920. He is law librarian of

I am a loving father blessed with
children of both genders and, accordingly, logically equally opposed
to misogyny and misandry.
That said, hopefully this makes it at
least marginally more difficult for professional apologists for sexist
hate-mongering, like Ms. Ruddle, to dismiss my views out-of-hand
solely based upon my gender.
Surely, a complaint against the
Canadian Women’s Foundation & every single one of its
corporate sponsors (or at least - most certainly - the 4 whose logos
are so brazenly displayed on the offending webpage) to Ontario's
alleged 'Human Rights' Commission since the 'couch' graphic quite
plainly amounts to the promotion of "discrimination via
signs or symbols" specifically barred under its Code.
Why? Certainly not because it/they
will likely be appropriately sanctioned but, for the two-fold purpose
of exposing both their hate crimes and further evidencing this phony Commission's
already well known one-sided agenda-driven hypocrisy.
Plus, complaints and intentionally
bringing blatant evil and sexist double standards to the light of day rightly
shouldn't stop there.
No opportunities should also ever be
missed to demonstrate that the left's vaunted Charter of supposed 'Rights
and Freedoms' likewise isn't worth the paper it's printed upon since
it's Sections 15-a and 28, allegedly guaranteeing gender equality to
all, are an open joke to most any heterosexual male who's ever had the
misfortune to have dealings with Canada's Courts, quasi-judicial
bodies and/or most governmental agencies.
Every day in our Nation's so-called 'family'
Courts, openly biased Judges make a shameless mockery of this imagined
equality - not to mention the additional Charter 'right' of 'freedom
of association' supposedly guaranteed to both fathers and their
children and international Treaties to which Canada is a signatory;
such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The most galling aspect of corporate
(men's as well as women's shopping dollars) and public (via direct
governmental largess and ill-conceived tax laws with respect to
hate-mongering phony 'charities' and 'foundations') funding of
misandry is precisely that.
So, floods of 'official' complaints
coupled with boycotting and public shaming offenders is its only
reasonable response.
Our own money, surrendered
voluntarily in the marketplace and compelled by taxation and/or tax
deductibility loopholes, is bankrolling males' demotion to second
class citizens and malicious crypto-Marxist promotion of undue
acrimony between the sexes clearly aimed at the destruction of the
conventional family and related denial of children's mutually loving,
beneficial and emotionally healthy relationships with both of their
natural parents.
Plainly with - as but one of literally countless
confirming examples - jobs within Ontario's public service now being
62% female-held, the one-time battle for women's rights is over and
there's no socially legitimate need for a foundation "Investing
in the power of women and the dreams of girls"
which thus exists solely to provide lucrative employment for
professional gender bigots like Ms. Ruddle and her 'DV industry'
sisters while advancing their elite self-evidently selfish anti-family
socio-political agenda.

Re: Misandry is the message
"The Canadian Women’s Foundation
believes that violence against anyone is unacceptable, whether it’s
perpetrated against a male or a female, and we applaud other campaigns
that focus on ending violence in its other forms.
Shelter from the Storm is not an
anti-male campaign, nor does it intend to convey anti-male sentiment
through its creative. As a women’s organization our mandate is to focus
on violence against women which is a critical issue in Canada.
What you fail to mention in your
StatsCan reference to prevalence (7% of women vs. 6% of men), is that (quoted
from the same report):
"women are more frequently subjected
to severe forms of violence from men than men are from women: twice as
many women than men were beaten by their partners, and four times as
many were choked. Moreover, 16% of women who were victimized by a spouse
were sexually assaulted, and twice as many female as male victims of
spousal assault reported chronic, ongoing assaults. This finding
suggests that despite similar prevalence rates reported by women and men,
assaults on women are more serious. One shortcoming of the data is that
they do not indicate the degree of force used in each of these acts.
However, the impact of spousal assault, in terms of injury and other
consequences, is more severe for women.
Further, the same study endorses a gender-specific
approach to addressing violence: "
"A generic approach to ending
violence against all Canadians risks failing to address the different
gender-specific experiences and support needs of victims of violence...
While men are more likely to be injured by strangers in a public or
social venue, women are in greater danger of experiencing violence from
intimate partners in their own homes. Women are also at greater risk of
sexual violence.
I urge readers to look beyond your bias and read the full report for themselves:

Conférence publique prononcée par
Ruth Rose professeure à la retraite de

spécialisée en économie du travail et en sécurité du revenu
dans le cadre du colloque Les femmes et l'argent de
l'Université féministe d'été 2008 (voir ci-dessous)
LA PAUVRETÉ DES FEMMES ÂGÉES
Quand se conjuguent discrimination et insuffisance des
régimes publics de retraite
En 2005, 32,1 % des femmes âgées de 65 ans et plus
vivant seules étaient considérées comme pauvres
comparativement à 19,8 % des hommes et à 1,4% seulement des couples âgés.
Tout au long de leur vie, les femmes assument la majeure partie des
travaux ménagers et des soins non rémunérés aux personnes. En
conséquence, leur participation au marché du travail est plus faible et
elles subissent une discrimination salariale ainsi que dans l'accès aux
postes les mieux payés.
Les projections indiquent que, dans 40 ans, les femmes
continueront d'avoir des revenus de retraite substantiellement inférieurs
à ceux des hommes. Portés par la vague de libéralisme,
les gouvernements actuels cherchent à renvoyer les individus à
leurs propres ressources, par exemple en affaiblissant le Régime des
rentes du Québec et en multipliant les avantages fiscaux pour que les
particuliers assument eux-mêmes ou elles-mêmes le maintien à domicile
au lieu de développer les services publics.
Que faut-il faire pour permettre aux femmes de vivre véritablement
un «âge d'or » après 65 ans?

Someone just responded to the entry you subscribed to at:

The title of the entry is:
Misandry is the message
You can see the comment at the following URL:
Being in the military, I frequently watch the Air Force Network (a service
that allows military members and families to view American programming
while stationed overseas), and during commercial breaks, men are often
portrayed as sexual deviants - scenes of women getting drunk at a bar and a
sinister male in the background who inevitably takes advantage of one of the
women.
Even in the commissary, posters abound saying, "We salute the WOMEN in our
military" (the capitals not exaggerrated, mind you) without any posters at
all for both sexes or for the men. Up until now, I wasn't aware that female
service meant more to our country than the men's.
Thank you Ms. Kay for the article. With an issue like this, it means a lot
more that it is written by a woman, I think. Not many would take a white
male complaining about sexism very seriously.

A Paris, la fronde singulière de femmes sans papiers

I wish to propose the
notion modern feminism has become a political movement
fueled by public money which doesn't obey rules applicable either to
political organizations or to lobbies. Its sole purpose is to foster
its access to public funding. Its main strategy is
to discredit men by accusing anyone who dares to
voice men also have needs of misandry or masculinism. This
meaningless label has yet to be reflected upon. The sooner the better.
Since governments depend on politicians electability and given the political
power derived from colossal government funding granted to political
feminist organizations it is unlikely politicians
will be in a position to correct the situation in
a foreseeable future. I deem the best hope for democracy
lays with news organizations. They unfortunately are also victims of
political feminist organization which control them by accusing media
dissidence of misoginy and masculinism. Once freedom of speech is on the way
of being restored there is no turning back.

Sigh.. there are none so blind as.... ?
Yes. I was once just like you. There was a time I would not have believed
any of this. Had I met myself then as I am now I guess I would have
walked away and told my then wife that there must
be something wrong with the fellow and that he
surely must have done something to deserve what has
befallen him.
You can not know how bad things really are out there for men. Especially
Fathers.
As far as the biased family law aspect of things goes it is perhaps best to
heed the wise words of a comrade of mine when he stated "The reason
for Family Law was to 'help' families get over the
end of a relationship, and to ensure the children
are properly cared for. What has happened is the
exact opposite. The average person does not believe that there is a serious
problem with Family law. They only realize how bad it is once they
get caught in its claws".
So it is with you and men like you You hear it from Barbara and from many
others on these pages yet you doubt because you do not see it. But
one day you might or someone else close to you
might. Then you will know. Too late.

stop feeding the monster that is devouring us, an international
strike, tens of millions of men "forgetting" to
set the clock before they go to bed.
Until men really man-up, nothing will change. Also you young men, if you
are dating and the woman is a feminist dump her.Breed them out, there
is NO OTHER WAY.You are better off single.Tell as
many men as you can about sites like these.Make
posters and put them up at uni, the mens room is good for
this. If a product or media outlet (TV radio print media) bash men,
dump them, because at the end of the day

so what if they go bankrupt.I have watched around 10 hours of

Thankyou
Barbara for this article. Unfortunately if it were a man who had
written this article it would be likely have been automatically
invalidated on the basis that all men are incapable
of conceptualizing suffering , as it can only be
felt by women as a result of men.
As a eighteen year old student I know the described attitude is endemic in
my local university and is starting to impact upon a friend , who was
accused wrongly of violence against a female student (I was with him at
the time of the supposed attack), because they
exchanged some harsh words and she decided to 'get
revenge' . Whilst he was rightfully found not guilty,
he has been bullied by other female students on campus, and refused
entry to some classes based on his "record". Just
one ordinary guy.
Just one sign of the big problem eh ?

Ms. Ruddles rejoinder
to Barbara Kay clearly states that violence
against men is not CWF's concern, we applaud other
campaigns. Applaud silently, of course.
No comprehensive survey of violence against men has ever been undertaken,
by any government. Therefore no comparison of violence perpetration
and victimization is possible. Further, CWF, as
other feminist organizations, proclaim some women's
victimization claims as valid, on the assumption
that women never lie. Rape claims, documented as over 60% false, offer
insight into deceit.
Ms. Ruddle offers no verifiable public data source for her victimization
litany. Such claims, echoing StatsCan's
1993, $10,000,000 Violence Against Women were
exposed as misandry, including by StatsCan's.
subsequent publications. Inter-spousal violence is so rare in Canada as to
fall below the incidence of psychopathology.
One category of assault, unequivocally more severe for men is
homicide. Since StatsCan began publishing data, twice as many men are
murdered than women: 200 women vs. 400 men murdered annually. The
revealing feminist rejoinder is, Those are men
killing men, as though men deserved fatal
violence, because of their birth.
About violence in their own homes, Ms. Ruddle “like all
feminists“ omits data showing women as the primary perpetrators of
violence, including homicide, against children, and adult daughters
as the primary perpetrators of abuse and
exploitation against elder parents. Who could be
more defenseless than an infant, child or a disabled elder parent?
Endorsing a gender-specific approach to addressing violence, is
amorally indistinguishable from opportunistically defining violence
by religion, race or ethnicity. Ms. Ruddle and
CWF’s intent is clearly to terrorize women
against men. CWF does not intend to lessen abuse and
violence for all Canadians.
Shame.

Well done that woman.
Sadly not many women are as clear sighted as Barbara.
They don't seem to be aware of how they are being manipulated by
the media and the state. It is beyond critical,
this problem of official misandry.
I have experienced it I have lost friends and relatives in the men's
suicide epidemic which is feminisms hidden holocaust.
Abortion being part of this also.
It is sinister and because it is being deliberately promoted by
politicians,the media, influential men and women alike. Why?
Control,power, money - divide and
conquer.Orwellian and very sneaky our politicians want to
lord it over us all.What better way than to get rid of men first.
Thus feminism is a useful weapon of the ruling
elite. In the end they will turn on women too.
But increasingly people see through them and the whistle
blowers are emerging...
I have to again thank Barbara for writing the truth. Its very encouraging
to see a woman understand the extent of what has been happening for
some time now...
Being raised by a single Mom and my
grandmother and being an only son, I grew up with
a greater respect for women than my peers. I'm an old
fashioned type of guy. I'm 45, and I'm appalled.
Ladies, I was on your side for so long but you've lost me now... You have
gone too far... You're being ridiculous now.
If feminists are getting hundreds
of millions in government funding, and making "great
strides" for women, why am I seeing Canada's Foreign
Minister, "Mad Max Bernier" march into his official swearing in
ceremony with "Jilted Julie Coulliard" who is
showing so much cleavage it's bordering on
indecent?
Good Lord... He should've matched
her outfit and dressed in a speedo, beer belly,
and gold chains!!! LOL!!!
Yeah, I know, she's a biker chick
and the feminists will say she's not a true
representation of the modern woman... Really? Hmmm... Why then am I
seeing girls and women everyday, showing
that much cleavage? For goodness sake, 13 yr. olds
are dressed like that nowadays!!! Who taught them this?
Does anyone believe their fathers taught them this? What
self-respecting father would even let his daughter
out of the house dressed like that???
NOT THIS EXILED FATHER!!!
Is this what those hundreds of
millions have produced?
I don't need a multitude of "studies" to back me up, just look around,
some things in life don't require a study!!!
It's legal in Ontario for women to walk down the street topless, how long
will it be before a Foreign Minister goes to his swearing in ceremony
with a topless woman on his arm? At the rate it's
going now it shouldn't be long... (Jilted Julie
was a gust of wind away from being the first!)
To all the self-respecting,
intelligent, "classic" women, like Barbara Kay, I
would implore you to speak up and help bring balance to this
miserable state of affairs, the children need you, gentle-men need
you, society needs you.
***
The Canadian Women's Foundation is
emblematic of the new "old girls club". These
Women's organisations have extensive political control to cause
discriminatory gender bias in Police procedures for domestic
violence, government funding for treatment of
domestic violence and generating publicity that
obviously portrays a pro-female and anti-male message to all
of society.
Women are just as aggressive and capable of causing damage to a man. Anyone
who has found themselves looking down the end of a knife or at the
receiving end of a kick to the genitals will know
that women are VERY capable of seriously injuring
a man. Unfortunately it is the invisible scars that
cause the most long lasting damage. Moreover, an abused man and an
abusive women will never receive they proper
treatment that they need. The cycle of abuse will
continue because gender biased organisations like the Canadian
Women's Foundation that only address half of the problem and not only
neglect the other half of the problem but go further and publicly
promote misandry.
***
I am a man who spent 20 years being
the best husband and father I could be, raising my
wife's two children of a previous marriage,
raising our own two children...all in the face of
my wife refusing to work for 14 years of our 18
year marriage and the stress and strain that
caused when trying to raise a family of 6 on one
salary.
During my marriage I was attacked by my wife many times. She threw a knife
at me once. She hit me, scratched me, kicked me....she struck our
kids to the head when they were little for no
reason and without warning....
She abused me mentally all our married life.
Her father, a man I have known for 32 years, calls me the finest son in law
any of his 4 daughters has. My father is proud of what I achieved now
all the cards are on the table.
Yet, when she went to court she accuses me of all sorts of
mis-behaviour...the courts immediately destroyed my company, froze
all my bank accounts, and cast me into poverty. I
have not spoken with my two youngest children
since before christmas....she accuses me of 'abusing' the
children and 'upsetting' them because I wrote them a letter each and
sent it to the schools...
The laws are rediculously biased and misandry is pervasive........I have
been the best possible husabnd I knew how to be and I am persecuted
while she was a terrible wife by any standards and
is treated like she just fell down from heaven.....I
am advising young men today to not get married and
not have babies with the women they love to avoid my situation...until many
more women like you fight the cause....this is the only way out...

Women can crow but men can't oink when it comes to sexism
By LIZA SARDI, CALGARY SUN
Friday, January 7, 2000
Warren Farrell believes the world is sexist.
But if you think his new book --Women Can't Hear What
Men Don't Say -- is all about feminism or strictly for women,you're
wrong.
This
ground-breaking book demonstrates how both sexes are hurt by
gender-based anger at home and work, media images, culture and men's
fear of expressing hurt feelings. It's based on five years of research
and writing, and 30yearsof experience counselling almost 250,000 people.
If you're about to tune out, thinking this is just another slam against
women, wrong again. This San Diego-based author of The Liberated Man,
Why Men Are the Way They are and The Myth of Male Power is the only man
ever elected three times to the board of the powerful U.S. National
Organization of Women. He's been featured eight times on Donahue,
repeatedly on Oprah and CNN, and interviewed by prestigious journalists
Peter Jennings, Barbara Walters and Larry King.
The
answers are "not in reading my book once" but in "studying it and
rehearsing with your partner," says
Farrell. Learning the language of relationships, he adds, is like
trading pencil and paper for a computer -- unnatural but you'll never go
back. The human race has spent thousands of years learning to fight and
debate and no time learning to listen and empathize, says Farrell.
Modern man finds himself hopelessly deadlocked by the need to repress
his feelings to become successful. The inability to express emotion
doesn't mean men are afraid of intimacy but rather that there isn't a
"safe" environment for them to open up. Effectively giving criticism and
accepting it so that it can easily be given, is one of the first and
most important topics the book covers.
Many couples, says Farrell, are afraid to understand
their partners point of view partly because they fear they'll have to
give in or compromise. "The inability to handle personal criticism
destroys more relationships than I know," says Farrell. Men, in
particular, fear conflict with their partner because they're afraid it
will lead to less intimacy; not more. Farrell's extensively-bibliographed
research shows men today are in somewhat of the same passive/agressive
scenario that women were in the 1950s. A woman who has a problem with
her man deals with it by criticizing. "Women are more willing to
initiate conflict, more willing to escale conflict, better able to
handle it when it occurs and, when they have initiated it, are quicker
to get over it," says Farrell. Men in the same position are fearful to
do the same because they're more dependent on women for emotional and
sexual approval. Taken to the extreme, the guy may win the argument but
get a cold reception -- particularly in the bedroom.
Most men then retreat to their own "cave" which could be
an ulcer, drinking heavily or extended hours at the office. In the end,
some stray so far they end up seeking other women, says Farrell. Women
in troubled times, on the other hand, are more likely to turn to female
friends or family for support and if they divorce, they're more likely
to keep the kids. Societal bias favouring women is deep and ingrained,
says Farrell.
One of
the most interesting chapters of the book describes how male bashing is
funny while female bashing is sexist. The first can be found in Hallmark
cards, the latter in a lawsuit. Take for instance, the case of Lorena
and John Wayne Bobbitt. If it had been Lorena who had cheated on her
husband instead of the other way around, would it have been OK for John
to lop off her breasts as she did to his penis, asks Farrell. "It's
never OK to kill or mutilate your partner," he adds. In another analogy,
he asks if society would have accepted a "battered man
syndrome" from O.J. Simpson. Most of us would have said that he can't
play "helpless" but has responsibility to take care of himself, call
police or leave the home before resorting to violence.
Violence
against men, states Farrell unequivocally while citing more than 53
studies, has been censored. Most women's groups rely on crime statistics
rather than studies to prove their case that some one in 10 women at
some time in their lives experience abuse from men. But women, explains
Farrell, are more likely to report
abuse. Men, on the other hand, do not see violence in the home as a
crime. A University of Alberta study found that 12% of husbands were
victims of violence by their wives compared to 11% of wives who said
they were victimized. Threats to pull funding is the reason most don't
know these stats, says one U.S. professor, who pioneered the analysis of
research in domestic violence. Farrell's book aims to make marriages
stronger and create fewer divorces by bringing new awareness to men's
plight. While it's aimed at men, there's nothing stopping women from
picking up this book to learn more or buying for the man in their lives,
says Farrell. "Give it to him with a note 'This helped me love you
better' not 'You need this.' If the book doesn't work -- send it back
and I'll refund the money."
- Tone of
voice is more crucial than words.
- Don't complain too often.
- Never criticize someone who has just criticized you.
-Ask the listener to just "play listen."
- Try not to cross-examine the listener with questions
