She is as eloquent and rational as always.

She's 100% right about the name. I've had this discussion several times and it always turns into me being accused of trying to override a woman's right to choose, which is not even remotely accurate.

Her terminology is much more accurate and doesn't have the emotional baggage of "financial abortion", so I'd really like to see it adopted.

Really well spoken and thought out. I very much enjoyed those videos.

She does make one logical oversight.

Girl, you reading this? When you attacked the idea that men have equal responsibility for preventing pregnancy, you kinda missed the point.

Doesn't matter if they do, or don't. It's a non sequitur, a total disconnect. If women cannot be forced into motherhood simply because they have, or share, the responsibility for preventing pregnancy, then why would it affect the issue if men shared that responsibility?

Why would the burden of a shared responsibility fall more heavily on men than women... regardless of whether that burden is shared or not?

She's a genius.

Women will lead men out of misandry because the competitive nature of man will prevent himself from ceding ground to other "splinter groups". Women will lead men out of misandry because it is not in their nature to lead themselves out.

Originally wrote that over a year ago after watching CH Sommers present on behalf of men during the First Annual Men's studies symposium. After watching this and your other Video Blog Commentaries I realize there is more to it of course.

"Society" will never listen to what men have to say on men's rights as they see it as the undeserving villainous asking for clemency. There is a presumption of guilt in all matters that prevents men from testifying on behalf of their own plight.

Thanks for the good work and I am glad to see you putting a face and voice to the words as it makes it harder for opponents to discount you as merely a "neckbeard". Was also excited to see that you watched at least of the MWM videos.

I would love to see more videos by yourself. While I read nearly all of your pieces and pay attention to what you write on these boards, I have noticed that influence in the media is shifting away from text all together.

GJ!

I honestly believe you are the best thing that's happened to the men's rights movement.

Told ya she posts on here. Now if we can just get her as a contributing writer at AVfM. Maybe put a fake mustache on her. Call her Larry. Get her some biker tattoos.....

Ok, ok, we'll stop at the 'stache and Larry.

I'm glad to see that "legal paternal surrender" is catching on. ;)

(Be honest-- was someone else using that phrase before me?)

I really prefer the term "legal paternal surrender" to financial abortion. You are right. That is a far more value neutral term, and seems more appropriate than "financial abortion", which I have always found a weird turn of phrase.

Brutal_Antipathy · 2011-12-07T06:04:15+00:00

Is she single?

I'd like to at least make her a sandwich.

Someone on the Internet talking about the opposite sex in a way that is not completely insane, paranoid and entitled. How novel.

Syntrel · 2011-12-07T14:12:24+00:00

She has already posted a second video on legal paternal surrender.

I really wish we could have a reasonable and civil discussion about this topic with feminists and womens rights advocates, but it seems like the mere mention of it sends them into a frenzy.

2011-12-07T10:34:20+00:00

I love this woman.

She makes good points, but also too elaborately discusses an issue.
