Pretty good too.

We're not crucifying anyone these days, nailing someone to a cross takes so much work, you know. Even with a handy nailgun you still have to find the right size nail and dial the right amount of pressure otherwise you just completely shatter the wrist. Took me at least 5 internet trolls to figure that one out! And then there's the blood and the screaming, you can't use the garage for 4 days and you have to keep all the scavengers away at night. It's easy to make jokes about crucifying people, but it really is hard work.

RE: "you have to keep all the scavengers away at night" - the racoons are the worst, they can get in anywhere!. Sometimes I think they can even open doors, with their tiny little paws --

Had a "stare down" last night with a big raccoon. I think he won.

As an aside (since we're talking critters), I have a cat, and cats are bad enough. It's amazing what they get into and they are largely untrainable, too. She'll get off the kitchen counter if I yell at her, but I know she'll do it again. And when I'm not around, all bets are off, I'm sure. The other day I found her with one of her front paws deep down in my toaster. Now I have to remember to keep my toaster unplugged when not in use.

It only took me two internet trolls to learn two things, sound proof the garage, and cover walls and floor with plastic. Works a treat, and stops nosy neighbours in their tracks.

Hey Suzanne,

I get what your brother has been saying, I myself have been run out of a 4 yr program by what I feel where anti-male feminists. I was just trying to be a Nurse, and let me tell you, I have been SH*T on at every placement, and slandered IMHO at every turn by the females in charge. Nothing says equal rights like having a nurse tell your instructor you're lazy because you sat down for a 2 minute rest while every other female student sits for a half hour doing notes. At least I figured out why the 4 male nurses in my family told me not to entire it as a profession.

The thing that gets me though, I have a PRIME example as the extreme feminists in positions of power can do over men, an example that personally had me on suicide watch for weeks, that had my parents and my girlfriend scared for me and crying every night (which I later found out). An example that to this day, the thought of it makes me, 6 foot tall and 270lbs, break down and cry for an hour shaking, AND I cannot share because of a non-disclosure paper I had signed under duress.

These anti-males (A-M) broke me in a way I never thought I could be hurt by. I mean I was bullied my entire life, but the closest thing I can describe it as was emotional and psychological rape, which I have said several times (took me until 2 months ago until i found a way to describe how I felt, and this happened 2 years ago). I find it interesting that what they, the A-Ms, claim males do to keep females subjugated I feel was done to me. Due to these A-Ms, I now found a new title to describe myself: I am aggressively Athiest, aggressively anti-thiest, aggressively equal rights, and now aggressively anti-feminist.

Now I hear the groan of my lady friend, for once I am aggressive about something, I will argue and debate and fight for or against until I am dragged away.

@Steven G - I find it really hard to say all this without wanting to rip somebody's throat out. I cannot say how sorry I am to know this has happened to you, and has effected you in such a profound way - these women are not feminists, they have a totally different agenda than the feminists I know and love. Both you and I come from very similar countries in so many ways, where females have achieved a lot, as far as equal work, equal pay. We are STILL fighting for this in Australia on this very day, but feminists love men, and need men on our side. It is only because of men that we have got this far. The same as our sisters in Muslim countries need the men on their side to achieve anything, the same in India, with men rallying to the cause of the girl who was raped, and has died.The women that you talk of, my brother speaks of, are a whole different ball game, they have a different agenda, and this is where the hairy arsed lesbian gets it name. As a feminist, I just want to go about my business without being harassed, wear what I want to wear, so when I hear about these women, and the harassment and bullying that goes on, I could just scream. My own partner got the sack, because his boss, a woman thought he wanted her job. My brother is leaving teaching because of the shite these women are putting on him.

This is NOT feminism, this is NOT extreme feminism, but I don't know what to call what they are doing. They are just men haters, for whatever reason.

I find it interesting that what they, the A-M's claim males do to keep females subjugated I feel was done to me - that is exactly what happens to women in marriages, where men psychologically or physically bully women, but stay in the marriage etc. for twenty-thirty years, especially if they have children, and people ask, 'Why didn't you leave".??????Psychological rape, oh, yes, I do understand this.

I call myself a pretty fervent atheist, and a pretty full on feminist, but like the male bullies and rapists, there are the good guys, and like these women who bully and subjugate men, there are good women. We are the ones who need each other, to fight these fucking interlopers into good causes.

These women are not feminists the same as all men are not rapists.

My partner also groans when I get on my bandwagon, the same as your lady groans, I just call it getting a backbone about this stuff :)

I think there's a word for your "A-M feminists"--sexists.  I'm very sorry for your experience, Steve! It must have been really bad for them to be covering their asses legally.

Unseen-I'm not sure what the gender of the presenter has to do with anything.  I was saying that I can see how theories could be colored by their origin from within a patriarchal society (whether  coming from a male or female).

Comment by Suzanne Olson-Hyde on January 10, 2013 at 7:50am

@Kairan - you are exactly right - these particular woman are not feminists, but they do have an agenda, they also attack women and feminists in general, that the original feminists didn't go far enough, as true feminists like men, these antifeminists do not. Feminists recognise that men's liberation is a necessary part of feminism, and men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles, as is the case of Steven G.
