I'm very glad both Warren and Equality Canada did this follow-up. There is so much bad media based on the protest, and because of the blockade, few press were actually able to get in to the talk to record how reasonable it was.

There's an interview of one of the protesters that shows how little she knows about Men's Rights and what Warren Farrell spoke about that day. It's frustrating to listen to so to sum up she says that Men's Rights is pro-rape/incest among other nonsense things. Based on her misunderstanding of the movement I can understand her outrage, but maybe she should take a second to try to understand and do a little research before talking on camera.

Just as a warning, this YT vid is 28:39 long, so make sure you have a block of time open before opening it, lest you cache more than you can watch. I think I can watch it now though...

They said something about socialists putting the protesters up to it. Anyone have more info about which group is responsible?

It would be great to be a fiery , passionate rebel without a cause wouldn't it ? Then you could go scouring the world for one . I suppose you could become an activist against war or perhaps Third World hunger . Maybe could do something about the Amazon or baby seals getting the old one/two club to the head .

The problem of course is that for most of us , those problems are too far away for our shiftless asses . What we need is something very close to us that is slightly less risky or 'fringe' than , oh , say , joining PETA while at the same time allowing us to claim that we're fighting the forces of evil by being 'radical' and having profound (but actually very popular) ideas that everybody else has already thought of that we can use to get us laid .

Hmmmm...what to be , what to be ... ?

I've got it ! Let's become feminists ! Yes ! If we become feminists or somehow associated with that movement , we can claim that we're fighting against something that nobody can see . We can then belong to a group , considers ourselves edgy , and try to get as much tail as possible by either pretending to be really , really sensitive or get no tail whatsoever by actually being really , really sensitive .

Yes , what the Western , developed world needs is yet more feminists to fight against the very thing that gave them the most privileged existence in all of human history . And they do it all by telling everybody that they're actually the worst-off .

It'll be fun . We'll get to act like self-righteous zealots and the general public will sympathize with us because we've been bullying everybody for so long that they must keep up the charade .

I'll get my placard , you get the megaphone . I can't wait to tell every male bum on the street how crappy my life is compared to his luxurious existence . This is gonna be great ... see you there !
