[Australia] "There's no such thing as systemic misandry"

Pretty much self-explainatory. An official government plan in Australia aims to "target masculinity" as a means to increase safety. The sad part is that just today I read an article showing the consequences of this mentality during the post 9/11.

Instead of learning, our governments just decided to target their hate speech at a different group.

Mask off moment.

At least they're starting to be openly honest about being anti Male...

From the newspaper The Australian on March 15, 2021, quoting Tame:

Sexual assault survivor and advocate Grace Tame has told protesters at Hobart’s March 4 Justice rally that evil thrives in silence and it’s time for “making noise”.

The Hobart resident, who was 15 when she was raped by her 58-year-old teacher, told the throngs gathered that the fear of doing nothing must outweigh the fear of doing something.

“Evil thrives in silence,” Ms Tame told the crowd during a speech that roused thunderous applause and cheers.

“Behaviour unspoken behaviour ignored is behaviour endorsed.

“The start of the solution is quite simple – making noise.”

Ms Tame said the pursuit of progress did not need to be adversarial.

“Men are not the enemy, corrupt behaviour is,” she said.

“Corrupt behaviour always has been and always will be the enemy.”

Between this and the police surveillance laws, I feel like I'll be moving to New Zealand in a few years. This country is circling the drain.

first to silence masculinity, first to call upon masculinity for help.

That must be their slogan.

They will target boys. They will make men subservient to women and feminism, even more than today. If you havr sons protect them.

PsychoPhilosopher · 2021-09-12T19:43:40+00:00

Manufactured outrage. This is the Murdoch press manipulating you.

There's no targeting of Men or Masculinity here, just a propaganda hit piece.

Wow this is going to back fire horrible like.

BellEnd1980 · 2021-09-12T17:50:01+00:00

Yes. Continue to alienate and ostracize an entire generation of young fighting age men. I see no way how that can backfire.

This is what happens when you try to understand men through women's experiences.

Here the UN explains the gender was developed to understand women's oppression. They see gender as oppression. So masculinity (they see as the dominant gender) is the cause of women's oppression.

The concept of gender first appeared in feminist writings in the 1970s to challenge the then dominant position of biological determinism, which had naturalised women’s inequality as arising from the biological difference between women and men. Feminist theorists developed the concept to point to the social construction of gender inequality and the relational aspect of the meaning of femininity and masculinity. By emphasising the social construction of women’s inequality, feminist theorists and activists from around the world called for political action to change this.

There were different feminist understandings of the term, but the dominant approach defined gender as referring to social norms, roles and expectations for women and men, as distinct from sex, which referred to the biological difference between them. While women of different social identities and socio-economic backgrounds were part of the feminist movement since its beginning,64 it was in the 1990s that the intersectionality perspective, which calls for an intersectional analysis of multiple interlocking dimensions of oppression, such as sex, gender, class, race, sexuality, ethnicity and disability, established itself fully as an important tool of analysis of discrimination. The coining of the term intersectionality helped clarify that women’s social identities profoundly influence how each woman experiences gender. In addition, in the 1990s queer theory also started using the term gender, challenging (what it perceived as) the binary understanding of gender, sex/gender dichotomy, and the heteronormative assumptions of some feminist approaches.86

Basically they believe that women are oppressed because men and women are socialised differently. Men's socialisation is call masculinity. To eliminate women's oppression, gender needs to be eliminated. This is done by making men's and women's socialisation the same.

Some of the comments in this post feel way too close to r/MensRights for comfort

I have a feeling that Joseph Goebbles would be impressed by such a title if only it were tweaked a tad.

Whenever there is a disaster, who rushes in to help make sure people are safe and rescued? The masculine people.

Whenever there is armed conflict that has to be settled, which people go to help sort it and restore peace to the world? The masculine ones.

When your family is scared of spiders/the monster under the bed/the noise downstairs, which member of the household do they look for? The masculine one.

If you want a safe world, the very last thing you do is get rid of masculinity. Masculinity saves lives.

This is what I've come to expect, unfortunately.

Do you have a link? I'm having trouble finding a source.

OriginalFinnah · 2021-09-13T00:41:32+00:00

I find all of this hilarious considering that Australia used to be a prison colony

She has the dead eyes of a power hungry sociopath

WingsofSky · 2021-09-12T20:07:30+00:00

So they're going to start to remove men's "Balls" figuratively and literally?

What a bad country to live in. lol

Step 5 and 6.

Many many exit points left, but it keeps creeping
