Angry Harry On The Nicholas Bartha Case
Angry Harry is a well-known father's rights activist. Father's rightsters look up to him. He has also come out in support of what Nicholas Bartha has done. Bartha had blown up his home rather than let his ex-wife have it. He died after the blast. According to fathers' rights activists like Angry Harry, until the court system bends to father's rights demands, more men will blow up buildings and more men will do things like stab their wives to death and shoot judges (referring to the Darren Mack case). Please note the threat in this statement of his: "And I would also point out that what he did is something that people can expect a lot more of in the future - thanks to the growing men's movement - unless something is done to bring back fairness into the system." He also recites a likely fictitious encounter with two women's activists to prove his point.
Here is what Angry Harry had to say about the case on a fathers' rights forum that will go unnamed.
Feminists usually attempt to exonerate even women who commit acts of premeditated murder; e.g. "She was defending herself."
And the notion that all aggressing women are, in fact, victims (usually the victims of men) has been accepted in the law, the therapy room etc etc. and even into the minds of the population.
My view is that we need to do the same for men such as this cardiologist.
To condemn him is to hold back our progress.
In other words, I disagree with [deletia's] slant on this. This cardiologist is not a single, lone man. He is not an isolated individual. And my guess is that for every man who does such a tragic thing, there will be 10,000 who got close to doing the same.
Thus, if I was debating this matter with other people, I would most certainly ***not*** say, "Oh well. He is just a single, isolated man. Please do not tar all of us with the same brush."
I would do the very opposite.
And I would also point out that what he did is something that people can expect a lot more of in the future - thanks to the growing men's movement - unless something is done to bring back fairness into the system.
A few years ago, following a murder-suicide by a deranged father, here in the UK. I found myself in a conversation with a woman editor of a woman's magazine, her assitant and a few others. They were using this murder-suicide as an example of men's violent nature etc etc etc. Needless to say, they were condemning him outright; whereas, of course, I was thinking more along the lines of this poor sod who had lost all hope of staying with his home and family as a result of some court decision. I was thinking about how impossible it was going to be to discuss this point of view both reasonably and politely, given the overtly hostile nature of these two women. And so I blurted out the following.
"If someone took away my children from me, I would blow their brains out."
An immediate silence descended on the whole pompous group. "Yep. That's what I would do, " I added somewhat resignedly.
There was still no answer from anyone; so I raised my glass and walked away.
I had won.
And I can tell you without reservation that if more 'men' stood up and said, "If someone takes away **my** children, I will blow their brains out," we would win this war against this evil system a lot more quickly.
There is more below the fold.
Hello [deletia]
Yes, I understand your point of view on this matter. But, in my view, the emphasis in your first post was too much in the direction of encouraging men to disassociate themselves from people like Darren Mack, and not enough encouragement to do the opposite.
You even went so far as to say, ...
Quote:
Here we have a man (singular noun!) who did an appalling thing
for which he, and he alone, will suffer due retribution.
... which is not quite true, is it? It is not he, alone, who will suffer some kind of retribution.
After all, our 'enemies' will simply use the Darren Macks of this world to tighten the rope around ***all*** men; some way, some how.
And if men actually dissociate themselves from the Darren Macks, then the rope will get even tighter - because, presumably, no 'men' would complain about this. After all, they are not like Darren Mack!
Indeed, one of the main reasons why the rope has grown so tight over the years is precisely because men have dissociated themselves from men who are having serious problems.
My emphasis is different.
"Yep; on the face of it; from the little that I know thus far, I think that I am like Darren Mack, or I might turn into being like him given the circumstances that he seems to have endured."
That sort of thing.
And I do not actually care what our enemies might think of this particular attitude.
Nor do I care how they might try to use it against me; because, in fact, they would actually lose out by trying to use it against me.
As I said in my first post: When I simply blurted out that I would blow out the brains out of anyone who took away my children, I actually 'won'. There was no need for any further explanation. Even the feminists knew that they could not argue meaningfully with this point of view, and, further, they knew intuitively that it was not in their interests to pursue it.
Now, I am not suggesting that most men would, or should, feel the same way as I do. Not at all. But the fact of the matter is this. The more that men identify with the very serious problems that some men face, and, also, with their **reactions** to these problems, the stronger will the men's movement grow.
And if, in fact, many MRAs were, indeed, actually cheering on the likes of Darren Mack then while I, myself, would not join in such cheering, it does not follow that such cheering would harm the men's movement.
Indeed, the more 'aggressive' that the movement becomes, the greater will be its power.
I think that the difference between our point of view is very small, and it seems to manifest itself, for example, in the irritation that you demonstrate when feminists 'lump all men together'. Well, of course, I experience this irritation too. But I suspect that I am more inclined than you to allow them to lump us together, and simply to respond to them by saying, for example, ...
"Yep, You're right. That's exactly what we men are like. Myself included. Many of us get violent when people try to take our children away."

Hello [deletia]
Quote:
I get uneasy though at the possibility of the suggested rhetoric becoming reality. Rhetoric has a way of becoming reality.
Well, I feel uneasy too.
Nevertheless, my feelings would be as I described them - murderous - and I see no reason to hide this fact. I am not urging anyone else to have such feelings, I am merely expressing my own.
Of course, I do realise that this automatically endorses a certain - and unhappy - point of view. But this is not going to stop me from saying how I feel about things!
Men have been silent for far too long. They have been too fearful to say how they really feel about what is going on out there. And I want the floodgates opened. I want men talking openly and often about how they feel.
Furthermore, amongst other horrible things, thousands of men commit suicide every year thanks to what goes on in the family courts - and elsewhere. But I do not see the feminists, the government or the judges getting too upset over what happens to these men. On the contrary, they continue to hurt them - and to kill them. And thus, as such, I am not going to weep over the demise of any official who finds himself on the receiving end of violence from someone whom he has harmed and who has no decent legal method of protecting himself from those who are harming him. Their injuries would be sleight compared to the harm that they, themselves, are inflicting on others.
Our societies and, indeed, our countries are being destroyed by these people. And they are forcing racial and cultural suicide pills down our throats through their greedy self-serving ambition and their never-ending quest to destroy people's close relationships. These vultures are forever seeking to thrive on the disharmony that they cause.
And the only thing that exonerates them in my mind is their ignorance.
Furthermore, specifically with regard to inflaming violence by expressing my own particular feelings or, indeed, my points of view, I must point out in my defence that I do not hide what I am saying or doing. On the contrary, I seem to spend most of my life doing my best to alert the powers-that-be to the very hostile point of view that I, and others, have.
As such - and given that it is ***they*** who have all the power in these matters - the onus is on **them** to deal with the problem that I, and others, are presenting them with.
Now, most of you will probably think, Yikes, Angry Harry, they might be pushed too far - and do horrible things; like close down our websites - or arrest us.
But you would be wrong.
They have NO HOPE of stopping this movement.
NONE.
And so they WILL accommodate to our point of view
This is not the animal rights movement, or the pro-life movement; this is something truly enormous. Something that will eventually reach into the hearts and minds of half the population. And because they have no way of stopping this, I am fairly confident that they will end up doing the right thing.
But they CANNOT do the right thing if they cannot hear us nor see how angry we are over certain matters.
In other words, I am doing them - and everyone else - a favour!
After all, forewarned is forearmed!
I won't give a link to his web site (why give him more traffic), but I thought my readers would like to hear what Angry Harry had to say about abused women. Here are his hateful comments:
Returning To Abuse Women victims of domestic violence often go straight from one abusive relationship to another, a study has suggested.
Well, I have not actually seen the research, but I would bet the few remaining teeth residing in the crickety old bones that were once the fine jaws of my increasingly-crotchety old missus that it did not focus too heavily on some highly interesting possibilities that would explain why it is that so many women seem to seek out abuse.
Well, the truth, of course, is that they love it!
Women just love the idea of being abused.
They seek it here. They seek it there. They seek it almost everywhere!
Well. Not all of them, of course. But enough to account many times over for all those phony abuse figures that are forever being vomited into the ether by those who profit from their toxins.
His proof? He claims women like books and soap operas where women are being assaulted. He claims that being assaulted and being raped are "one of their most popular sexual fantasies". He claims women flock to violent men, and that they provoke 'abuse' (his quotes) beacuse it makes them feel 'loved' (his quotes). He also claims that women were "designed by Nature to find aggressive men attractive". He claims that women seek out abuse. He blames some abused women for having "certain personality and/or hormonal disorders" that make them seek out abuse.
What baloney!
It's a good thing to expose ugly misogyny like this so that everyone can see what the fathers' rights movement really thinks of women.

I saw in the NY Times that the folks in a neighboring apartment are already filing a lawsuit for damages.
Sorry, the guy IS a nutcase. Cuts off his nose to spite his face.
Now instead of his wife getting her share of the marital assets, it'll get pissed away to lawyers and lawsuits.
Frankly, we know the FR's won't be happy until they control 100% of the marital assets, all children, and the right to take the wife out back and have her shot if so desires. Then something else will no doubt tick him off, so it will become necessary to knock off the kids too.
It's time to get a grip. The FRs do not represent fathers are kids. THey represent a total power and control fantasy where enough is never enough. I'll destroy the house before I'll let you have a penny. I'm going to take my baseball and go home--and blow up the ball field before I leave.
They are basically extortionists.

Fathers' rights activists are trying to watch their words, after they were exposed by the media during coverage of the Darren Mack case, but they just can't temper themselves. Their statements, including Angry Harry's, show that they believe that more violence will occur if their demands aren't met. I highlit Angry Harry because he's so well known and respected amongst these jerks. These aren't men who want to be good fathers for their children. They operate from overblown senses of entitlement, and they throw fits and threaten violence when they are told they can't have a pony.

You might want to mention that to Dirk on the other thread, who's come up with a wonderful hypothetical about an abusive wife who yells at her hubby and totally doesn't deserve money---becuase we all know housework, child-raising and giving up your career are worthless enterprises.

Simmer down, Kreskin. I never said either of those things.
Posted by: Dirk at Jul 19, 2006 12:15:14 PM
No, you just conveniently left them out, and focused on yelling at her husband on his way to work as something that invalidates the things you didnt deem important enough to mention in the first place.
He goes to work, she yells at him...he's earned the house. You mention what HE does to earn it yet where do you mention what SHE does?
Hmmm?

Hello Trish. 'Deletia' here! The first of them, to be exact. Hey, you need not delete my name to spare me, since I stand behind everything I say!
First off, Angry Harry is NOT a "father's rights activist". That title is far too narrow. Angry Harry is a MEN's rights activist, okay? Get that straight! Not all men are fathers, you know. But all men face a common enemy.
Please be accurate in what you report to the world. Millions of ordinary people have the perception that feminists are liars, and you don't want to feed that tired old stereotype...do you? It will not help your cause in the least.
Very well, it is my turn to make my own blanket statement, which will underscore what Angryharry says but in a way which blocks your counterpunches:
If you declare war on half of the human race, then dire consequences can be PREDICTED!
I'm sorry, wasn't I clear enough? Then let me say it again:
If you declare war on half of the human race, then it is PREDICTABLE that dire consequences will follow.
What's that, you don't agree? Well then, stare into your own crystal ball and make your own prediction!
It's sort of like, if you throw a rock up in the air, it will fall to earth again. Predictable.
I am not advocating anything. I am not prescribing anything. I am PREDICTING something! Do you see the difference?
If you declare war on half of the human race, it is predictable that more and more people like Nicholas Bartha, and yes, Darren Mack, will start popping up and raising hell. It is....predictable.
Predictable.
There is nothing I can do to stop it. And furthermore, I wouldn't even TRY to stop it, since I don't collaborate with enemies who have declared war on me.
The only way to stop this sort of thing, is to come to the table and talk terms. Anything less will be futile.
The logic is irrefutable, and you can NOT refute it, no matter how hard you try!
So go ahead and 'Stand Your Ground'. With or without the 'dot-com'! ;-)
Stand your ground, and I will stand mine, and in the end we'll see who stands upon the high ground in the rising flood.
Isn't that simple?

Yes, its amazing how phlegminists such as stenches out, oops I did a typo. I mean to write "the countess" but somehow "stenches out" (subliminal message perhaps?) got typed in error...really, it did.
So anyway, phlegminists have been 'miss-informing' the masses for long enough with their distorted views and double standards. Anyway, she's just trying to hang on to a few viewers so she can scrounge off them some more now that her C$A is running out.
Personally, the way she addresses her 'spawn', if i were in the unfortunate position of being her off-spring, I'd likely have ran off years ago than listen to her mindnumbingly nonsensical blatherings.
Her posts often remind me of an old neighbour, thankfully she's long gone... peace & quiet - ahhhh.

Ya mean...like women deciding we dont need your asses any longer and taking steps accordingly? Hmmmmmm.
Funny how we never resorted to this shit when we were considered property, not allowed to vote, sold to much older husbands, wrapped head to foot in burkas, have or genitals mutiliated, forced hysterectomies, refused any rights whatsoever to property or children in divorce, unable to initiate divorce, suffer beatings, suffer marital rape, and bred literally to death.
Men have to pay child support and THATS a declaration of war?
Fucking pathetic.
Posted by: pheeno at Jul 24, 2006 2:27:31 AM
Oh and just to spell it out even more
look who's had the most injustices placed upon them throughout history. Now look at who's managed to motivate change through GROWN UP methods like voting and changing laws.
Now take a look at who's had the LEAST amount of suffering injustice...and look at the methods they choose to change it. Murder.
Threats of war.
Violent little babies throwing tantrums with guns dont deserve anything but contempt.
Posted by: pheeno at Jul 24, 2006 2:31:28 AM
Peaceful methods only work with a reasonable opponent. Feminists aren't reasonable.
You can talk with the British Empire. You can only fight Hitler. Sometimes war is the only way.
Personally, I have given up any hope of constructive conversation with the feminist establishment. They'd rather have that I didn't exist. The feeling is mutual.
Posted by: the sad geek at Jul 24, 2006 10:02:41 AM
And you think people who resort to murder so easily reasoned with? That's a very weak excuse to ignore the fact that men have the least amount of suffering, but are the quickest to resort to violence when they don't get their way.
Declaring war...talk about over emotional hyperbole. Speaking of hitler, it hasnt been women routinely murdering men over the course of history. If you're going to Godwin a thread, at least make the correct comparisons. Feminists aren't killing men. In fact, women on the whole committ less acts of murder than men. Explain that if you're such veru REASONABLE creatures. Last I checked, every hitler in history has been a man. Your track record does not back your claims.
Posted by: pheeno at Jul 24, 2006 12:40:49 PM
I think you'll find you can still reason with most MRA's. There's still time.
As for violence being unreasonable, it is not. Using violence to prevent harm to one's children is eminently reasonable, for example. It might not be moral, but it is reasonable. You can reason with an army, like it or not. You can't reason with a jihadist.
Godwin? Don't you understand what I'm saying, or don't you *want* to understand what I'm saying. This is exactly what I mean with a lack of ability to communicate on your side. Ever heard of a metaphor?
Your comment about the 'least amount of suffering' is a masterpiece of whimsy. How many men have died through wars and industrial accidents? Whose life expectancy is the lowest? Who are you going to call when your house is on fire?
As for men being quick to resort to violence: I think they have shown admirable restraint. Wars have broken out for less.
Given the grave injustices you people have visited upon innocents, I can understand some men seeing no other way out than to use physical violence.
We didn't start this war. You did. We will finish it, though.

Pheeno: If I had time for it, I could give you some pointers on your rhetoric. Sadly, you sound like you are re-cycling old bathwater. The only people likely to be impressed by your words are fellow club members who sit in the tub beside you, scratching your back. Rub-a-dub-dub!
I repeat myself: If you declare war on half of the human race, then dire consequences can be PREDICTED.
And feminism is the only identifiable "movement" that I know about which has EVER declared war upon half of the human race. And since I personally belong to the half in question, I've virtually no choice but take this personally, and fashion my politics accordingly. As the old saying goes, the personal is the political!
Feminists claim to seek "equality" between men and women, yet they fail to "see" the many ways that men and women are, and always have been, "equal". A convenient sort of blindness, this! It always kicks in right handily when something politically inconvenient pops up!
Take, for example, the distribution of human perversity. Or... the distribution of EVIL, if you prefer to put it that way.
Men and women are already equal in this respect. Evil is already equally distributed on both sides of the male-female fence line.
Mind you, I didn't say it was symmetrically distributed. Symmetry and equality are different things, even though you might conflate the one for the other if you weren't thinking clearly, or... if you were being disingenuous.
Very well, that being said, let's consider the predictable things that happen when you declare war on half of the human race. What happens is, that the targeted group strikes back to defend itself any way it can. And because the targeted group enfolds the full spectrum of human perversity within its ranks, it follows that self-defense strategies employed by the targeted group will equally partake of that very same spectrum.
Does that make sense? Of course it does. Most people could follow this..
So, as time goes on, you will see more and more men "striking back" in many different ways. SOME of these ways will be ugly, irrational, and um....evil. After all, there is no effective way to police the behavior of half the human race; the job is too big to be manageable.
But other times, men will strike back with more GROWN UP methods. And when they do, they won't be so easily dismissed as you might dismiss the Darren Macks of the world!
But the bottom line is, that people will strike their oppressors with any weapon they can get ahold of. And if the GROWN UP ones don't work, oh well.... I mean, what do you expect? Some people are grown-up, and some people are not. But nobody, grownup or otherwise, enjoys being trodden on, and when the shit comes down, they will fashion their various weapons according to their various natures, with the predictable results that you will see.
Ending on a different note, Pheeno, I thank you for sharing the following statement in your earlier post:
"Ya mean...like women deciding we dont need your asses any longer and taking steps accordingly? Hmmmmmm."
I appreciate that you have given us all a clear and frank feminist statement, so that all concerned may reach a clearer understanding of things. Again, thank you!

"As for violence being unreasonable, it is not. Using violence to prevent harm to one's children is eminently reasonable, for example. It might not be moral, but it is reasonable. You can reason with an army, like it or not. You can't reason with a jihadist."
Jihadist is more fitting to describe those that would shoot a judge, stab the mother of his children (while theyre home..good job dad! smashing!) or blow up his house in a hissy fit, without regards to other human life he might endanger and the people that would follow behind that and threaten it as a tool to get their way. That's terrorism sweetheart. Claiming a "war" has been started and threatening further violence fits a jihadist mentality. Who backs this mentality and who does not?
Calling it a war to begin with is melodramatic nonsense. Far more women are screwed by child custody and divorce court than men. Yet, where are the dead judges? Where are the blown up buildings? Between two groups, Mothers Rights and Fathers Rights, WHO is perpetrating murder and destruction?
And don't even try to bring up defending a childs life with a group of people LEAST concerned about the children. If your children were that much of a concern, you wouldn't need a court order to pay support. It wouldnt be a percent of your wages. It would match cent for cent, dollar for dollar what the other parent spent to support, house, feed, bathe, educate that child. That money, time, energy and devotion would be present BEFORE divorce and would continue after without anything but a smile and a sense of honor.
"As for men being quick to resort to violence: I think they have shown admirable restraint. Wars have broken out for less. "
Which just illustrates AGAIN that you must believe men are inherantly violent.
What business do you have near children? If you have to constantly restrain yourself from starting wars over even less? Not exactly a shining example of humanity, is it?
"Your comment about the 'least amount of suffering' is a masterpiece of whimsy. How many men have died through wars and industrial accidents? Whose life expectancy is the lowest? Who are you going to call when your house is on fire?"
Who's fault is it that those industries are biased in hiring practices? Who decided only men were manly and women shouldn't do those jobs? You're suffering at your own hands, not someone elses. The responsibility for that lies at your own feet. You start wars. It's your own fault if you die in them. Dont want to die in them? Don't start them. Don't want to die in an industrial accident? Hold the (men) leaders of those industries responsible for better working conditions and safety. You want it equal? Allow women into those industries. Your life expectancy is low..you respect life the least. And each and every single thing you "suffer" is a direct result of your own genders decision on what makes a man a man and a woman a woman. Don't like it? CHANGE IT. See if you can do it without killing yourselves or anyone else.
"We didn't start this war. You did. We will finish it, though."
You might want to take a history course. Technically, you INDEED started it. Women didnt get custody, and couldnt initiate a divorce. THAT started the ball for change rolling. Guess who came up with those particular laws saying women couldnt own property, were property and children were sole property of men? Hmm? Need a hint?

Lucky for you, I have the time to point out the irony of someone accusing me of rhetoric and then launching into a rant that starts with the word WAR.

Probably, you wrote in haste...? Well, now you have the chance to correct it, since you surely don't want to leave a mistaken impression about feminism in the eye of cyberspace...
But again, the central question is serious. How IS it possible to declare war on half of the
human race, and NOT expect ugly shit to start exploding everywhere?
I mean, logically, given such conditions, you would expect such an outcome.....wouldn't you?

Really? If there were no men, you think the gov is going to bail you out with C$A so you can sit on your asses any more? Who are you going to blaime when things go wrong in your life?
>>Funny how we never resorted to this shit when we were considered property, <<
What like wage slavery where a women sits on her a$$ and a man has to give her half is cash because she forgot to take the pill?
Or how about when WOMEN's freedom is in danger and MEN are FORCED to die in another country so you can continue to whinge?
>>not allowed to vote,<<
Yes because men always had the vote didn't they(!) (YOU need to read history) Oh and men fought for that right whilst women did......oh yeah.
>>sold to much older husbands<<
As opposed to men having to pay women their earning as virtual slaves you mean? And you dont even have to buy the guy for that!!!
>> wrapped head to foot in burkas<<
When did this happen to you or your linage?
>>have or genitals mutiliated<<
One billion approx men are living with mutilated genitals as opposed to 350,000 approx women. BTW Do you know WHO takes their daughters for this op? Of course not....
>>forced hysterectomies<<
Erm, Ever heard of eunuchs? Or what they did the choir boys so they would always have a high voice? Of course not....
>>refused any rights whatsoever to property or children in divorce<<
Who normally leaves home regardless of who is to blame for marriage breakup? Who has to live in a flat because his earnings go to making the women who has just grabbed a house can live comfortably in it? Who is only allowed to see their children once a week if they are lucky? (But still have to pay up even if they dont) but that's 'different'...
>>suffer beatings<<
If a man beats his wife he gets arrested, if a women beats him he gets laughed at. (Dont bother with the strength thing, women are quite capable of picking stuff up, you know like plates, knifes, can of petrol......)
>>suffer marital rape, and bred literally to death.<<
Have there genitals removed, super-glued, burned or bleached as a jolly jape because he didn't do as he was told
>>Men have to pay child support and THATS a declaration of war?<<
Yeah, that must be it(!) If your going to pass judgement you should at least look at the facts, if your capable that is.
>>Fucking pathetic.<<
You know it!

"Which just illustrates AGAIN that you must believe men are inherantly violent."
... "You start wars. It's your own fault if you die in them."
*I* believe men are inherently violent?

Pheeno: Please explain exactly how I have "accused" you "of" rhetoric.
oh my god. I left out the word using.
But here sweetums, its in your first sentence.
"Pheeno: If I had time for it, I could give you some pointers on your rhetoric."
"How IS it possible to declare war on half of the
human race, and NOT expect ugly shit to start exploding everywhere?"
Who's declaring war? Other than FRA's that shoot judges, blow up buildings and stab their ex wives to death, of course.
Im thinking...maybe some men realized THEY declared war on half the human race several centuries ago and are now paying for it, so the tactic is the rather typical one of " but IM the victim", when THAT is clearly rhetoric.
Of course, they cant stop killing each other long enough to really launch any cohesive attempt achieving real balance, so its not surprising they stoop to murder.

"On which planet are you living?"
The real one..that has the largest number of impoverished people GLOBALLY being women and children. Also, the real one where my ex owes 30 grande on back child support and has never seen the inside of a jailcell. Along with the several hundred other women in that same courtroom every 6 months.
Oh, and its not injustice to give the primary care giver custody of children. If fathers want more custody, they need to to the work prior to asking for it. On their own, without being asked. asked. In short, EARN it.

"*I* believe men are inherently violent?"
Yes dear. When you boast that wars have been started over less, that is implicity stating men are inherantly violent. When you point to examples of a father murdering his ex wife and a judge (even AFTER gaining shared custody *ahem*) as what do you expect sitatuations, then you do in fact consider men to be inherantly violent. Personally, I expect them to act like adults. You however seem to expect killing sprees as a response. And justified at that.
"Srange type of oppressor, aren't we, shooting ourselves in the foot like that."
Never accused you of intelligence.

Thank you, Pheeno, for your (slightly) amended statement concerning the "accusation of rhetoric". I now amend my original query (only slightly) as follows:
Please explain exactly how I have "accused" you of using rhetoric.
Who's declaring war? Other than FRA's that shoot judges, blow up buildings and stab their ex wives to death, of course
Who's declaring war? The entire body of politically directed man-haters on planet earth, of course. THAT's who.
So, then, how is it possible to organize a social movement based on politically directed hatred of half the human race without some expectation that predictably ugly consequences will follow?
Im thinking...maybe some men realized THEY declared war on half the human race several centuries ago and are now paying for it, so the tactic is the rather typical one of " but IM the victim", when THAT is clearly rhetoric.
It is difficult to know who "some men" are in this sentence, and equally difficult to know how they could be "now" paying for something which they did "several centuries ago", given that the human life span very seldom exceeds one century. Are these men listed in the Guinness Book? Oughtn't we now show some deference to their white hairs, their likely decrepitude, their toothless "rhetoric"...and not trouble them?
Of course, they cant stop killing each other long enough to really launch any cohesive attempt achieving real balance, so its not surprising they stoop to murder.
They arent clever enough to come up with anything else.
Can you not launch any cohesive attempt achieving real balance in what you are saying , or are you not clever enough to come up with anything else?
It's to be expected really, if you scrutinize history, none of this is surprising.
If you scrutinize history, you can see all SORTS of things. It's like reading tea leaves or doing the I Ching! However, now is not the time to compose a thesis on historiography, is it..?
"Srange type of oppressor, aren't we, shooting ourselves in the foot like that."
Never accused you of intelligence.
Ahhh....then it was good of you to let someone so unintelligent gain the upper hand, wasn't it?

OOH, you're confusing hating men with hating sexism. Common mistake. And, I see you tossed in a strawman arguement. No wonder you don't get it. I'll try to dumb it down for you.
We hate the attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender. You'd think men would as well since it (according to geek anyway) gets them killed and lowers their life expectancy.

And now you replace cleverness with being obtuse.
Given your inability to grasp simple concepts, I'll dumb THIS down for you as well.
If the accusation of declaring war is to be levelled ACCURATELY, one must trace it back to the beginning. Originally, women were not granted custodial rights to children AT ALL. And since evidently an imbalance in custodial rights is seen as an " act of war", then it seems women did NOT the ones responsible for any act of war. If you're going to insist on an infantile and emotionally charged statement such as " declaring war on half the human race" please have the intellectual honesty to include the first true act. There has only been 1 gender so far that has been considered the property of another gender. And in declaring 1 gender property and treating them as such through laws and behaviors, enforcing those laws and behaviors through violence and/or denial of basic rights, you have your original act of war. I assert men today are aware of this original act of war and their genders role in it, and are attempted to blind society to it by claiming reverse victimism.
"If you scrutinize history, you can see all SORTS of things. It's like reading tea leaves or doing the I Ching!"
Not quite sweetheart. I realize that looking too closely at history exposes some ugly facts about gender relations, but accuracy is more important than your discomfort.
"Ahhh....then it was good of you to let someone so unintelligent gain the upper hand, wasn't it?
Even Einstein could have been enslaved by brutes who follow the live by the sword mentality. It's just rather pathetic when they start complaining when they end up dying by the sword.

Have you exhaustively catalogued ALL of the attitudes, conditions, or behaviors in question? Were the final asessments honestly arrived at, or elsewise arrived at?

--------------------
On what evidence do you feel that "an imbalance in custodial rights" is "seen" as an act of war?
By WHOM precisely, is it seen as such?
If a politically directed group of people goes about with the intention of inflicting harm on a
target group, would this be tantamount to a state of war waged upon said target group? Or
would some word other than "war" be more appropriate?
Supposing an alternate terminology be devised in the above case, what moral order of distinction might plausibly be upheld to distinguish the designated phenomenon from "war"?
Do you feel it is permissible to apply metaphoric extension to the the word "war"?

I realize that looking too closely at history exposes some ugly facts about gender
relations, but accuracy is more important than your discomfort.

I thank you, but my comfort is not in question; I am comfortable as need be, always. :)

Which do feminists value more: Accuracy, or political convenience?

Your entire arguement (and I use the term loosely) is based on the strawman ad hom that feminists just hate men. They're declaring war. Why? Because they just hate men.
Point of fact, no one has declared war. That's little more than emotionally charged rhetoric built upon the erroneous belief that feminsts hate men.
"By what epistemological method might we separate "hating men" from "hating sexism"?"
Occam's razor
"Have you exhaustively catalogued ALL of the attitudes, conditions, or behaviors in question? "
have you to justify your claim feminists hate men? So far, this has been the base of your entire ridiculous statement about declaration of war.
"On what evidence do you feel that "an imbalance in custodial rights" is "seen" as an act of war?
By WHOM precisely, is it seen as such?"
By the fathers rights activists advocating, excusing or otherwise justifying murdering wives, judges, innocent bystanders ect. By YOU when you make the statement " if you declare war of half the human race ect ect". Since the FRA's are rather numnerous, for the sake of brevity, my answer is
YOU.
With this specific statement
If you declare war on half of the human race, then dire consequences can be PREDICTED.
WHO do you believe has declared war? HOW exactly have they done this? And WHO are they declaring war upon?
"Given that ugly facts about gender relations might be exposed by looking "too" closely at history, which gender might be compromised by such exposure? Males, females, or a bit of both? "
Which one deemed the other property and acted accordingly?
"Do you feel it is permissible to apply metaphoric extension to the the word "war"?"
Thats an amusing way to go about making your statement seem less absurd and melodramatic after the fast.
"If a male person who lacks a "live by the sword mentality" ends up dying by the sword, would his death be "rather pathetic"? Would any such individual have a right to "start complaining"?"
Nope. Just the male who DOES practice live by the sword, and then dies in the manner in which he conducted his life. You can see this perfectly illustrated in the pathetic suicide bound dr who blew up his house.
As well as the wife and judge murdering male . Perfect examples right there for you to examine.
"Do you feel that argumentum ad hominem strengthens your polemic? "
Use man hating or a variation thereof one more time and get back to me on that.

They're declaring war. Why? Because they just hate men.
Point of fact, no one has declared war. That's little more than emotionally charged rhetoric built upon
the erroneous belief that feminsts hate men.
---------------------
Point of fact, or point of assertion?
In principle, is it possible for a state of war, or at least some morally equivalent state of hostility, to
exist without ANY so-called declaration being made? Is such declaration a prerequisite?
If a situation is by its very nature "emotionally charged", how ELSE ought the rhetoric
surrounding it be forumulated?
If feminists do not hate men, then what ARE the nature of their feelings toward men? Neutral or
non-existent? Or something else?
Since "feminists" is a plural noun, is it possible that a plurality of feelings about men may
be found among feminists? Or is feminism monolithic in that respect?
Assuming that not all feminists feel the same way, is it possible that a certain number of
feminists DO in fact hate men?
If feminists held universally laudatory sentiments about men, would it be plausible for such a
thing as feminism to exist in the first place?
---------------------
"By what epistemological method might we separate "hating men" from "hating sexism"?"
Occam's razor
--------------------
Aye! Occam's razor. Excellent, excellent! Superlative scalpel,that! And pray, might you lay hold of
this ever-so-keen superfine razor, and favor the world with a tour de force thereof, to part the integument
from the bone, so to say, specifically as pertaining to the controversy in hand? :-))))
-----------------------
"Have you exhaustively catalogued ALL of the attitudes, conditions, or behaviors in question? "
have you to justify your claim feminists hate men? So far, this has been the base of your entire
ridiculous statement about declaration of war.
-----------------------
In the nature of the case, there is no need for me to undertake any such cataloguing on behalf of any claim,
actual or imputed, on my part.
That my statment is ridiculous, or otherwise, is presently a matter capable of question.
--------------------------
"On what evidence do you feel that "an imbalance in custodial rights" is "seen" as an act of war?
By WHOM precisely, is it seen as such?"
By the fathers rights activists advocating, excusing or otherwise justifying murdering wives, judges,
innocent bystanders ect. By YOU when you make the statement " if you declare war of half the human
race ect ect". Since the FRA's are rather numnerous, for the sake of brevity, my answer is
YOU.
With this specific statement
If you declare war on half of the human race, then dire consequences can be PREDICTED.
----------------
How does the final statement, cited above, pertain to "imbalance of custodial rights"?
Where is the connection?
Have I expressly stated that I, myself, view "imbalance of custodial rights" as a
declaration of war? Where?
Have I ever identified myself as an "FRA"? Where?
----------------
WHO do you believe has declared war? HOW exactly have they done this? And WHO are they declaring war upon?
---------------------
WHO? Politically organized man-haters.
HOW? By politically directed action over the course of 40-odd years
and arguably longer.
Upon WHOM? The male population.
Would you care to offer a different explanation?
---------------------
"Given that ugly facts about gender relations might be exposed by looking "too" closely at history,
which gender might be compromised by such exposure? Males, females, or a bit of both? "
Which one deemed the other property and acted accordingly?
-----------------------
Which?
And again, which gender might be compromised by such exposure? Males, females, or a bit of both?
IS it theoretically possible that SOME of the "ugly facts" in question would be politically
inconvenient for feminism?
If discovered, ought such facts to be made commonly known? Or should they be "hushed up"?
------------------------
"Do you feel it is permissible to apply metaphoric extension to the the word "war"?"
Thats an amusing way to go about making your statement seem less absurd
and melodramatic after the fast.
--------------------------------
So you say. But....the question remains unanswered. That being given, I will default to the
doctrine that "silence gives consent", or in this case ASSENT. Would you care to
take issue with my decision?
----------------------------
"If a male person who lacks a "live by the sword mentality" ends up dying by the sword, would his death be
"rather pathetic"? Would any such individual have a right to "start complaining"?"
Nope. Just the male who DOES practice live by the sword, and then dies in the manner in which he conducted his life. You can see this perfectly illustrated in the pathetic suicide bound dr who blew up his house.
As well as the wife and judge murdering male . Perfect examples right there for you to examine.
----------------------------------
Would you describe the individual who "lives by the sword" as a "common thug"?
I'll assume the answer is "yes".
Very well, how if a common thug picks up a sword and makes to run me through, but I pick up a sword and
beat her to the punch, thereby sparing my own life and ending hers. Could it not be said that I have "lived" by
the sword? Would that make me, too, a common thug? Or an uncommon one, perhaps?
And how if I choose to live by my sword by using it against people who also live by THEIR swords making
others die by said swords. Am I not "living by the sword"in that case? Am I not a thug (common or otherwise)
in that case?
What percentage of the total population can TRUTHFULLY be described as "living by the sword"?
Or stating that another way, what percentage of the total population could truthfully be described as "thugs"?
Did Nicholas Bartha "live by the sword"? Did Darren Mack? They are perfect examples, but... of WHAT?
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
"Do you feel that argumentum ad hominem strengthens your polemic? "
Use man hating or a variation thereof one more time and get back to me on that.
-------------
I shall use that, or a variation thereof, so often as the case appears to warrant.
You seem to imply that such usage constitutes argumentum ad hominem; have I made
the correct inference here, as regards your intended meaning?
If so, how the point is valid in the present context?
----------------
"Radical gender feminism is built upon hatred of males as a class."
Do you dispute this statement?
Yes. Radical feminism is built upon rejecting patriarchy.
Patriarchy does not = male.
Introducing hatred into it is little more than an overemotional response.
----------------------------
As opposed to what? a CORRECTLY emotional response....or an UNDERemotional one?
But thank you for coming to the point so readily, as regards the
dreaded "P" word! The discussion is progressing well indeed! :)
Very well. IF Patriarchy != male
THEN what does Patriachy = ?
What quantity goes to the right of the equation?
Does the word "patriarchy" point to any discoverable object whatever?
I am seriously interested in listening to your thoughts upon this matter.
Possibly you will convince me of something.
------------------------------
Care to dispute any of the following statements?
1. Decent, normal people can NEVER be driven to insane violence.
2. Women are exempt from moral accountability.
3. All citizens are entitled to due process and presumption
of innocence under law.
4. Lorena Bobbitt did the right thing.

"In principle, is it possible for a state of war, or at least some morally equivalent state of hostility, to
exist without ANY so-called declaration being made? Is such declaration a prerequisite? "
Explain how women have entered any state of hostility whatsoever for even the PERCEPTION of war to be gleaned? Refusing to be stripped of rights is not a hostile act. Thats what feminists have done. In a nutshell, they've merely said NO, you cannot continue with bias against us.
Who would that threaten, other than someone intent on continuing bias?
"If feminists do not hate men, then what ARE the nature of their feelings toward men? Neutral or
non-existent? Or something else?"
Which one? We aren't borg and dont share one mind. To get feminists feelings towards men, you're actually going to have to ask individually.
Mine personally? It depends on which man you're asking me about. Again, patriarchy does not equal MEN.
"Assuming that not all feminists feel the same way, is it possible that a certain number of
feminists DO in fact hate men?"
Assuming we're all individuals. What a NOVEL idea.
It's possible a certain number of feminists hate broccoli. Does that mean we all do, or now feminisn will be defined by you as broccoli haters? Is that a product of feminism or personal preference and personality?
If some feminists hate broccoli, why do you not qualify them that when when you refer to them? You do it with man hater, why not broccoli hater as well?
"Aye! Occam's razor. Excellent, excellent! Superlative scalpel,that! And pray, might you lay hold of
this ever-so-keen superfine razor, and favor the world with a tour de force thereof, to part the integument
from the bone, so to say, specifically as pertaining to the controversy in hand? :-))))"
In a nutshell, the most simple explaination is this
feminists "hate" sexism. Since sexism can come from both genders at any given point, it elimiates only meaning "males".
Sexism is the problem.
Simple.
"In the nature of the case, there is no need for me to undertake any such cataloguing on behalf of any claim,
actual or imputed, on my part."
Humor me.
"How does the final statement, cited above, pertain to "imbalance of custodial rights"?
Where is the connection?"
In the subject of this thread.
Since you're so keen on sticking to the subject.
"Would you care to offer a different explanation?"
Sure.
There is no war. It's all in your head.
"And again, which gender might be compromised by such exposure? Males, females, or a bit of both?"
The ones responsible for determining one gender was inferior, and therefore to be considered as and treated as property instead of human beings.
THAT gender.
Now, which one did that?
"Would you care to
take issue with my decision?"
Thats not obvious enough by now?
"Very well, how if a common thug picks up a sword and makes to run me through, but I pick up a sword and
beat her to the punch, thereby sparing my own life and ending hers. Could it not be said that I have "lived" by
the sword? Would that make me, too, a common thug? Or an uncommon one, perhaps?"
No, it could not be said you lived by the sword.
In context to the subject, Mack and Bertha picked up a sword and responded with violence to a non violent situation. Neither picked up a sword to defend their lives nor the lives of their children.
"They are perfect examples, but... of WHAT?"
Common thugs.
"I shall use that, or a variation thereof, so often as the case appears to warrant."
Which is an ad hom attack. You are using an ad hom everytime you use man hater or any variation thereof.
Patriarchy (from Greek: patria meaning father and arché meaning rule) is the anthropological term used to define the sociological condition where male members of a society tend to predominate in positions of power; with the more powerful the position, the more likely it is that a male will hold that position. The term patriarchy is also used in systems of ranking male leadership in certain hierarchical churches or religious bodies (see patriarch and Patriarchate). Examples include the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox churches. Finally, the term patriarchy is used pejoratively to describe a seemingly immobile and sclerotic political order.

Thank you for the textbook definition of "patriarchy" pasted in your post. In passing, I would note that the final sentence in that paragraph sounds a bit clever and sardonic, but sheds no objective light on anything. And the part referring to church hierarchies has only parochial application, so to speak.
That leaves merely the opening sentence, concerning "father rule" and so on. Is this what feminists are fundamentally talking about when they toss the word "patriarchy" around? Simply what is contained in this sentence? Just that, narrowly? Predominance of males in administrative posts? Nothing further?
I would like to take my own stab at defining "patriarchy". Tell me what you think of it.
Patriarchy = MALE POWER
How's that? Does that work for ya?

1. Decent, normal people can NEVER be driven to insane violence.
Decent normal people aren't driven to insane violence as a response to NON VIOLENT situations.
Phrase your question within context, and don't try be so obviously leading with them. That's a loaded question and intellectually dishonest.
2. Women are exempt from moral accountability.
The same goes for this one. And, as of yet, no one has asserted women are exempt from moral accoutability.
3. All citizens are entitled to due process and presumption
of innocence under law.
Yes. But you will notice public opinion is not covered under due process, nor subject to presumption of innocence. And it both the Mack and Bartha case, their guilt isn't disputed.
4. Lorena Bobbitt did the right thing.
*laughs* that's so obvious it's sad really.
No, I dont think she did the right thing.
5. Virtually ALL domestic violence stems from patriarchal control issues.
I'd say the vast majority does, yes. Patriarchy gives men a sense of power and entitlement to do as they please to those viewed as having no power.
6. Certain ideologies are exempt from criticism.
Valid critisism, no. Critisism based off stereotypes, strawmen and faslehoods? Those won't be taken as serious critisism. By any idealogy.
7. Women never lie.
about? Noone has asserted women never lie, so narrow this down please.
Everyone lies. Humans lie. Which do you give the default benefit of the doubt to?
8. Crystal Gail Magnum is a victim.
According to the rape kit and staff on hand in the ER where she was treated? Yes.
She's also a vet, a mother and a student. Interesting you'd use her stage name as her real name, no?
Telling, as well.
"Thank you for the textbook definition of "patriarchy" pasted in your post"
You're welcome. Evidently you were ignorant of its meaning.
