The Trouble with Feminism Today

I want to start this blog by saying that I am not against women.  I love women! What I am against, is radical feminism and its ideology it promotes today. I especially am against its underlying messages that women are still oppressed today by men, and that women have a sense of entitlement, or that men are inferior to women and so on.

 I began my research into the topic of Feminism a few weeks ago. My research has uncovered quite a bit of information of misandry and blatant sexism being propagated and promoted by the media every where. This lead me to such websites and blogsites belonging to advocates of the Men’s Rights Movement where they have many articles and videos that exposes the hypocrisy of Feminism and how it has damaged today’s modern society, the primary victims being men. Over and over again, I see women being portrayed as victims and men being portrayed as the perpetrators.

I have watched some youtube videos posted by leaders of the MRM that were well researched in exposing Feminism. Also, I have read many articles by them as well. What I found most interesting was when I clicked on the reference cited, it lead me to either a completely different website unrelated to the reference documented, or to the actual website that told me the information I was looking for was either deleted or removed from that particular website. This happened too many times for me to discount this as a coincidence. This of course raised some questions in my mind as follows: Why was it removed? What was the reason for the website  to remove or delete such information? What are they trying to hide?  

I believe the answer to such questions is no doubt found in the fact that such websites have been either threatened or pressured by radical feminists to delete or remove such information that incriminates feminist propaganda.  Usually this will happen right after such information has been cited from the said website and made public. Perhaps some who read this may disagree with my assessment. However, it is a known fact that feminists who oppose the information made public by the Men's Rights groups often bully and pressure such websites to remove such statistics and facts that does not support feminist propaganda.

ARE MEN MORE VIOLENT THAN WOMEN?

A couple weeks ago I had posted a youtube video entitled "A Feminist's Dream Date." The video was satirical humour and was not to be taken seriously. But that did not stop a Facebook acquaintance from being offended by the video. She was a feminist through and through. Anyway, we ended up debating the issue about Domestic Violence. Typical of feminist propaganda she cited the false statistics that make men out to be the primary perpetrators of Domestic Violence. This is what she said to me in one of her responses:

"There are still many inequalities that are part of the cultural norm. Sexual assault and domestic violence happen to women at least nine out of ten times, men being the other one out of ten, and this happens every day to women. I am a victim of domestic violence myself. And economically, women earn about 7.5 to 8 cents to every dollar that a woman makes. These are facts. There are many, many other issues too of degradation and violation, oppression and discrimination women face every day. Feminism is a social theory that upholds the inequality still prevalent in social norms. The information is out there, academically, professionally, on the street, on social media, or wherever you want to look."

Yes, I don't doubt the information is out there to support her view on domestic violence. However, the statistics she shared in her above comment is nothing more than feminist propaganda that makes women out to be the victims and men to be the perpetrators. Such bias statistics is not based off of real scientific research, but is based on faulty feminist studies that purposefully demonizes men as the primary perpetrators of domestic violence. Feminists ignore real scientific research studies that have revealed that women are just as guilty of domestic violence as men are.  Here below is one of my responses back to her:

"Faye, I know the Family Violence Report was taken from the “Family of Men Support Society.” I am not denying that. It has been mentioned a couple of times in my responses to you. I didn’t think I needed to actually tell you where I got the report, since it is clearly quoted in the link mentioned a couple times in my responses for you to see.  As for the “Family Violence Report” being written from another source? No, it was written from the “Family of Men Support Society” themselves. Now as for saying “I need to do my research and stop being one sided.” I assure you, I have been doing just that. Why do you think I question the Statistics you mentioned. It is feminist propaganda designed to make women look like the victims and men like the violent perpetrators. I have taken the time to consider a few statistics mentioned online. The one you had mentioned, “Family Violence in Canada: A Statistical Profile” on page 35, I looked at the “Statistics Canada; Juristat 85-002-XIE, Vol. 27, no. 4” as well, along with another Canadian one the “Gender Differences in Police-Reported Violent Crime in Canada, 2008.” And finally the "Resolution: Regarding the UN Study on Violence against Women, Nov. 4, 2006." Which was a report put together by Mark Rosenthal and supported by 116 Equal Rights groups around the world and submitted to the UN. What I found interesting about these reports was that none of them gave the 90 to 95% Domestic Violence that men supposedly perpetrate against women as feminist so often claim, though I can tell they were heavily influenced by feminism in primarily giving high numbers to the males being the perpetrators. Even if some of the reports say 90% of women suffer violence at the hands of men only goes to show their bias against men, and how their information is misleading the public. When many other scientific studies say the opposite. Here below, are the four reports I had looked at in a little more detail.

(1.) The “Family Violence in Canada” report you quoted was correct. It did say: "Over the past 30 years, the rate of spousal homicides against females has consistently been about three to four times higher than that for males." I do not believe that "Family Violence in Canada Report" you quoted was the one that "Family of Men Support Society" got their info from. Did you catch that Faye, not 9 times more, as you suggested in an earlier response to me, but rather 3 times more.

(2.)  However, the “Statistics Canada; Juristat, Vol. 27, no. 4” contradicted that report by giving this one:  “About 7% of women and 6% of men across the country are the victims of Domestic violence at the hands of a current or former spouse or common-law partner according to results from the 2004 GSS on Victimization” Page 2. This one I believe to be more in keeping with the facts.

(3.)Then there is the "Gender Differences, 2008" report from the Police, which again contradict feminist propaganda: "Police-report data show that in 2008, the rate of violent victimization for female and male victims was comparable, 1, 155 and 1, 150 per 100, 000 population, respectively (Table 1, Table 2). Moreover, throughout the preceding 5-year period from 2004 to 2008, the rates of violent victimization for men and women remained relatively stable (Chart 1)." pages 6-7. This again is quite different then the statistics you gave in the first report and in your responses to me. As you can see, men suffer from violence just as much as women do, whether it be at the hands of men or women.

(4.) Regarding the UN study on violence against women gave this interesting information: "5. Whereas, a compilation of 195 scientific studies of partner violence concludes, “women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with spouses or male partners,” 6. Whereas, according to a Statistics Canada report, 7% of women and 6% of men report violence by a current or previous partner in the previous five years. 7. Whereas, according to a recent international study of severe violence among dating couples, 55% was mutual violence, 16% was male-only, and 29% of violence was female-only." For women in the past 50 to 100 years ago, female spousal abuse was near non-existent as far as we know. For it to be near equal to male spousal abuse today, female spousal abuse has skyrocketed by the 100s in percentage.  That is a massive explosion in female spousal abuse!  This is what is not being honestly reported by the so called experts and professionals that you talk about Faye. The question can be asked "Why?"

Now as to sexual assault and abuse. I don't doubt that women suffer more at the hands of men than men do at the hands of women. Now that's not to say men do not suffer as much sexual abuse as women do. One study said that men are 3 or 4 (more or less) times more likely to not report sexual abuse to the authorities as women do. This also applies to domestic violence as well.

Perhaps one of the most devastating blows that can be given to the Feminist myth that men are more violent than women can bee seen in Dr. Martin S. Fiebert's Annotated Bibliography. Follow the link here: http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm "

I know my response to my friend above was quite lengthy, but I believe necessary to show my point about how feminism is against men. It promotes hatred, sexism, and bigotry against men in today's society.

 WHO GAINS THE MOST IN DIVORCE COURT?

In divorce court women are almost always favored over the man. A recent book written by former feminist Dr. Helen Smith, entitle “Men on Strike” writes...

 

 



The Trouble with Offending Others Today

I came across a handful of pithy quotes from an unknown author on the topic of offending others. They are as follows: "Being offended doesn't make you right," "If you take things personally, you will feel offended for the rest of your life," "Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't control your emotions, so everyone else should do it for you." This last quote seems to say it best, "The world would be a better place if people would spend more time thinking and learning and less time being offended."



(Lord willing, I will continue this blog article and complete it in the near future).

The Mystery of Two Becoming One Flesh

        “Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh.”

(Genesis 2: 23, KJV).

 

This statement by Adam was quite profound. He did not say this of any animal in all of God’s creation; whether in the sky, or in the sea, or on the land. The phrase “bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh” is a very intimate phrase only used here once in the Bible. It is used in the context of Eve’s relationship to Adam. This also refers to all men and women and their marital relationship with one another (see 2: 24). There is five specific ways this unique group of words applies.

1. First it applies to Adam and Eve in the context that Eve came from Adam (see Gen. 2: 23-24).
2. Second, it applies to the marital union between man and a woman, “the two shall become one flesh” (2: 24).
3. Third, it applies to siblings (brothers and sisters), which is the result of the marriage union between a man and woman, “be fruitful and multiply” (see Gen. 1:  28).
4. Fourth, it applies to all people in their biological relationship to one another from a creative stand point. He “hath made of one blood all nations of men” (Acts 17: 26).
5. Fifth, and last of all, it applies to the Church, for by the blood of Christ we all became brothers and sisters in the Lord through our relationship with Christ.

Here's a poem written by an unknown author who beautifully captures in a small way the intimacy of a man and a woman.

 



The Hypocrisy of the LGBT Community

by Mark Escalera - The Jungle Missionary

A few thoughts to consider for the thoughtful reader of DefCon –

 

1. Ok, for those who think to the contrary of the Bible, I would like to call your bluff in no uncertain terms. Please provide indisputable PROOF from the scientific and medical communities that people are born transgender or as homosexuals or lesbians, etc. THEORIES or PRESUPPOSITIONS based on psychology does not count. It must be based on DNA, genetics, things that can be proven in a lab or research facility.

2. For those who think that God "MADE" a mistake when He made you, I would encourage you to read the truth of Scriptures. The same holds true to any who think that ALL or ANY sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage between one man and one woman is acceptable. John 3:36 makes it clear as to God's perspective on those who willfully abide in their sin and abomination. "He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son will not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him." Those who are children of God will obey the commands of Scripture, but those who choose their own paths are clearly bent on destruction AND the wrath of God does abide on them until salvation takes place. The bottom line is that God does NOT make mistakes and He does not create that which would contradict the principles and truths found in His Word (the Holy Scriptures).

3. I share with those who read that there is no hatred for any who live in a lifestyle that is contrary to God. It is NOT up to me to bring condemnation of eternal punishment. If I am to follow the truth of Scripture, I must learn to 1) love God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and the 2) is to love my neighbor as myself. However, it is NOT loving if I fail to warn you that there is a high price to pay one day for choosing a path or lifestyle that is in contradiction to the character of the Holy God. Some who read might PRESUME upon my character and belief that I hate you and others who do not live like I do. That is unfounded and is based purely on the speculation of how you THINK others should believe and how you THINK others should allow you to practice with no lack of tolerance apart from intolerance towards "bigots" and "hate-mongers" like me. I look forward to seeing your "PROOF."

4. So, just to clarify, a person can HATE the actions of those who choose to pray aloud to God in school or a public place but that person probably would say nothing if it was a Muslim student doing it. Further, you can hate prayer and find it an affront or grievance to you, but you would have NO problem fully endorsing that same person's right to speak if they choose to spew filthy, vulgar language or even speak aloud of his or her ability to practice deviant lifestyles. Absolutely amazing! So, you can HATE as long as you get your way, but if I HATE that which is contrary to the Scriptures, I am condemned as a bigot and I am judging others. So, exactly, how does this logic work again???

5. The problem is that the world is trying to dictate new standards of morality based on what suits the depravity of the human heart. You cannot have morals without the God who gave and created the morals to begin with. It is the same God who created one man and one woman and instituted marriage between those two. The reality is that the LGBT agenda is an abomination before God and will always be so. Sadly, a small very vocal minority are trying to bully the world into accepting perverted lifestyles. By the way, Disney has long sought to subtly and now openly promote the homosexual agenda. The homosexual agenda will never be content with "marriage" between two of the same sex. They are after our children. We are headed the way of Rome and will be brought to our knees just as Rome was for her wickedness.

6. By the way, if homosexuality or lesbianism is "normal" and supposedly created by God, why in each relationship do you have one that acts the part of a male and one a female? God created one man and one woman and commanded them to multiply and fill the earth. Interesting that God did not give the ability to procreate between two men or two women, and biology and science cannot change that. Notice I did not mention "gay" sex. I spoke of the irony of how in any relationship between two men, one will seek to be effeminate (or the wife), while with two lesbians, one will seek to dominate and play a masculine role.

7. God states that ALL AND ANY sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman is an abomination before Him. God also tells us that the hearts of ALL men and women are evil. Romans 3 states that there is nobody who is good, not even one. They have all gone out of the way in their depravity. There does not need to be any additional verses regarding a person who thinks they were born in the wrong type of body. To hold to this is ultimately stating that God makes mistakes. Further, the Bible is clear that it is not a particular sin that will send people to hell, but the one of unbelief. Belief in God resulting in salvation only comes when a person repents and confesses their sin to God and then places their faith in Christ alone for their salvation. That belief then is followed by a willing obedience to the commands of Christ.

8. Despite the fact that many will studiously avoid my thoughts and questions, I will share that God commands all men to repent. The need for repentance is not dependent on one's choice of sex or lifestyle. It is based solely on the fact that man is separated by his very nature from a holy God. What would God say to a transgender person? He tells them to repent and that today is the day of salvation for all who come in faith in Jesus Christ. The transgender equality issue is one that seeks to erode what God has created. To force those choices upon the general public, particularly within the education system, is foolishness and stupidity at best, and at worst, only further undermines the differences between male and female as created by God.
