Feminism's Victim Complex- and Consequences

It takes time and awareness for these issues to be brought to light to the larger society. Though I agree with the points that are made in the article, I disagree with the characterization of the issues.

For example, I agree with the notion that society today emphasizes the ability of females to consider themselves the victim of a phenomenon even when men tend to be the victim (such as domestic violence).

Though I disagree that it is a concentrated effort by a group. I think of it as more of an unintended consequence of the past efforts towards female equality.

All we can do is spread the word and convince as many people as we can. Slowly, but surely, the issues will see the light of day.

Some of the articles I've read from feminists just make my jaw drop. They stoop to such low levels and skew logic to such a degree, it's amazing that they're taken seriously at all.

They're obsessed with being victims, it's where they find "power", that's pathetic.

Men however, are increasingly waking up to the dystopia of a world governed by radical feminist ideology. Self sacrifice fails the simplest cost benefit analysis in a world where masculinity is increasingly the basis for social, political, economic and legal hobbling.

Finally, someone said it!

One of the particularly effective techniques feminism uses is what I call the "left hook" and "right hook"

The "left hook" (as in leftist) - is to tell men that they don't have to be protectors, that there is equality. It is to tell men that they can be domestic, passive, the homemaker, and not have to be the macho provider - that they can be betas. Feminists using this hook are encouraging men to be submissives - that the women will actually be in control even though it is claimed to be equality. The control is exercised more indirectly, but is based on being able to directly dominate the man.

The "right hook" (as in right-wing) - is to then shame men who aren't protectors, and to still choose alphas over betas in practice. It is to tell men that "real men" are sensitive and feminist but still the protectors, the providers, the main earners, the ones who die first. It applies pressure and shaming if the men aren't. Feminists using this hook are "topping from the bottom" - controlling men while pretending the men are in control.

So men are apparently given a choice, but there is no real choice at all. In both situations the woman is in control. A man is only allowed to choose by which mechanism he is controlled.
