Rape on campus…
“Rape on campus occurs with such alarming frequency that most colleges now incorporate sexual awareness training into their freshman orientation practices (apparently students not only must learn how to find their way around campus and how to use a library, but they must also learn how not to rape their classmates)” (Michael Kimmel, Guyland, p57-58). …

Reporting What Women Do
What if for just one year, the media reported 90% of the time what women were doing instead of, as is now the case, what men are doing? Not because what women do is better, or more newsworthy, but just to see how it would change our outlook, our world view. The news might be …

On the Radfem Doctrine of Separatism
Here’s the thing. Men are already separatists. (So really we have no choice.) Men already exclude women from anything, everything, important. (Any inclusion is tokenism: a false symbol, a PR move.) Men already refuse to get involved with ‘women’s issues’, whether personal or political. That feminism itself is considered a special interest thing indicates that. …
