Feminist journos keep digging deeper as they start bashing veteran draftees, implying that they are self-proclaimed victims and "developing a powerful narrative"

Says the group of people who refused to be drafted

SidewaysGiraffe · 2024-10-26T18:23:11+00:00

The article is literally titled "the white men who wanted to be victims". I know it sounds cold, but what did you expect? These people would spit on Irish refugees fleeing the Famine because their skin was the wrong color.

Nothing is sacred to the feminist except feminism itself. They don't believe in basic empathy. They don't value life or prosperity. The only assertion that the feminist playbook makes is that women's rights must be maximally expanded at all costs and at men's expense. Whatever men have (even if nothing), women must have more.

https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/White-Feather-Movement/

That's why they don't even respect vets. First-wave feminists initiated the White Feather Campaign, a misandrist harrassment movement that saw draft objectors "bombarded with insults, coercion tactics and tarnished for their lack of courage" and even saw veterans mistakenly handed a feather (they kept going even with these grievous errors). Men who did not participate in the act of ritual suicide which our governments call "war" or "special military operation" were handed a white feather (a symbol for cowardice).

More often than not, many of the women also misjudged their targets, with many men who were on leave from service being handed a white feather. One such anecdote came from a man called Private Ernest Atkins who had returned on leave from the Western Front only to be handed a feather on a tram. Disgusted by this public insult he slapped the woman and said that the boys in Passchendaele would like to see such a feather.

In some mortifying cases, they targeted men who had been injured in war, such as army veteran Reuben W. Farrow who was missing his hand after being blown up on the Front. After a woman aggressively asked why he would not do his duty for his country he merely turned around and showed his missing limb causing her to apologise before fleeing from the tram in humiliation.

They don't even respect young men and never did. They handed feathers to kids. What makes you think that they care about adults?

Other examples included younger men, only sixteen years of age being accosted in the street by groups of women who would yell and scream. James Lovegrove was one such target who after being rejected the first time of applying for being far too small, he simply asked for his measurements to be changed on the form so that he could join.

What makes people think feminists care about us? What makes people think feminists stood for equal rights? They never did and never condemned this behavior. Instead, they encrouaged it as a critical and glorious time for the feminist movement. They honor this.

Feminism is a hate-group. Look at it as one this is pure hatred nothing more nothing less.

VariousScallion8597 · 2024-10-26T17:15:20+00:00

We are winning.

They are trying to shame men into not complaining or arguing for fairness under the law. They are terrified that because of the election men have to be considered in society again. They can't monopolize the state for their exclusive benefit anymore.

We are winning.

monkeyninja6969 · 2024-10-26T18:33:28+00:00

Ah yes, let's piss off the portion of our population that has been trained to fight and is experienced in wars, and is capable of extreme violence. What could possibly go wrong?

NohoTwoPointOh · 2024-10-26T16:53:28+00:00

If it weren’t for the title, I’d agree totally.

Take the gay movement, civil rights movement, and the aforementioned movement of our Vietnam vets (who were ignored and abused by the same crypto-brown shirts disguised as “flower children”). These groups all had to develop a narrative in order to tell their story. Not only tell it, but craft a story so powerful and convincing that the average Joe couldn’t ignore it any longer.

Matthew Shephard dragged from a truck… Images of racist Alabama cops turning dogs and hoses on unarmed (and peaceful) black demonstrators. For our vets? Stories of being drafted against one’s will, losing buddies on an unnamed hill (abandoned days later) and coming home to be spit on in the airport by our garden-variety liberal white woman (who used privilege to free-ride her way out of America’s longest bloodiest war since the Civil War). These are the stories that created change.

One might argue that the lack of this kind of cohesive, gripping narrative is why Men’s Rights flounders so badly. One group screams about circumcision. Fathers yell for family court reform. Older men choose MGTOW or Monk Mode. Young men point out every injustice or nihilisticly say “fuck it”. Though each case is tragic, none are solely sufficient to captivate and affect change in the masses.

The gist of this article seems to be in the same vein. It is sour grapes aimed at the vets, but is more of a proxy for their own inability to keep convincing the world of their imagined oppression. Of course, picking on 19-year-old draftees proves this point brilliantly. The pay gap has been debunked. Men are becoming better at countering oppression narratives with facts. The abortion debate has been hammered so hard that many are viewing it less as a “woman oppression” issue an one of “selfish irresponsibility “. After all, when families, farmers, and laborers are struggling to keep food on the table, it is rather callous to make your ONLY political issue about your genitalia and a right to kill unborn children. That person clearly gives zero fucks about real problems plaguing the majority of citizens.

No, this article is about feminists dealing with the death of their movement. It represents the green shoots of the death of feminism as a narrative of oppression and injustice. Perhaps the article is a rally cry to emulate the Vietnam Vets and develop that same coherent story. The author is likely begging for her own narrative after seeing hers dissolve into a glass of logic and facts.

The problem? There are no men spitting on them at airports or Torquemadian VA hospitals where women suffer after answering their nation’s call. Not only are women the most privileged group in America, so many have become insufferable tyrants. Society fought for women to hold power, but few focused on teaching them to wield it responsibly. This dynamic shed centuries of sympathy in barely a generation.

This article is a Taylor Swift song lamenting yet another bad choice. We’ll see plenty more in the months to come.

HesperianDragon · 2024-10-26T16:22:12+00:00

That guy's face looks kinda like Tom Cruise.

Apellosine · 2024-10-27T00:37:35+00:00

Drafted and forced to fight in war, returning dead, dismembered, with PTSD for something they didn't volunteer for. Then called baby killers and murderers by protesters when they returned.

bright_yellow_vest · 2024-10-26T19:46:53+00:00

Despicable

Dudequality · 2024-10-26T23:51:17+00:00

What absolute tosh and nonsense - the blatant disrespect is disgusting

While these men were maimed or killed to protect their community - oftentimes against their will, these journos spew vile rubbish against them

Background_End_5067 · 2024-10-26T23:56:58+00:00

Send all those cunts to war

PhulHouze · 2024-10-27T02:52:37+00:00

College teaches kids that as long as they use correct grammar and sophisticated vocabulary, they can put forth any kind of horseshit argument and it will be true.

chobbo · 2024-10-27T05:43:43+00:00

These women are the same kind who would go around putting white feathers in men's pockets to try and shame them to go to war.

But if you suggest they too sign up? "I can't do that, I'm a woman!"

MastermindX · 2024-10-27T14:26:34+00:00

The women who claim they have PTSD from twitter arguments telling war veterans to just get over it and stop playing the victim.

AndreasDasos · 2024-10-27T02:00:27+00:00

In the US I don’t know about white men… and I don’t think anyone was claiming it was specific to white people? Black people have been conscripted with white people since after the Civil War, before which black people were slaves.

But men were sure as fuck discriminated against by the draft. It literally only forces men to sign up. So by definition. Denying this is just denying objective fact.

This is extra dishonest, pointing to specific men who happen to be white saying they’re discriminated against - but only as men - and dishonestly claiming they’re grouping themselves as ‘white men’ so readers assume it’s a racist movement too and discredit their actual message.

IAPiratesFan · 2024-10-26T17:05:53+00:00

Fuck.

FacePucker · 2024-10-26T23:13:43+00:00

projecting a victim complex is insane

aivisst1984 · 2024-10-26T21:48:59+00:00

Why he looking like Tom Cruise??

hendrixski · 2024-10-27T17:05:02+00:00

Unpopular Opinion:

I predict this kind of rhetoric to explode (again) if Trump were to win.

The establishment of the Democratic Party had learned a lesson after Hillary echoed a lot of the rhetoric about "women are the REAL victims and men cannot be victims". Harris has been very disciplined about this and hasn't invalidated male voters (in fact the opposite: she has plans directly targeting various male voting groups).

But if Trump were to win, the party establishment will get sidelined and the freaks and weirdos will come out of the woodwork again and this kind of bullshit will be EVERYWHERE totally out of control.

That's my prediction. That the establishment is trying to hold in check the alienating narratives about men and if they lose then the floodgates will open again.

CompetitiveOffer5339 · 2024-10-28T02:00:13+00:00

Also feminists claiming they have PTSD from that one guy on there walk looking at them.

goforchamp · 2024-10-26T22:22:07+00:00

Can we agree to use the right term for things? Misandry, for example. I mean, what if we just stop entertaining the PC labeling of Feminism and just said, “modern misandry knows no limits and is remorselessly self-serving”?

griii2 · 2024-10-27T10:20:20+00:00

Please link the article Google can't find it.

Stopsegregationofmen · 2024-10-27T20:00:19+00:00

They say these women who have no responsibilities like children, but have the right to vote, they should not have the same rights as children. It's time to end these privileges and either deprive women of voting rights or I take on all the responsibilities that men have, including mandatory military registration.

burlingtonhopper · 2024-10-27T21:37:14+00:00

Why would you go after war veterans - many of whom came back with mental or physical disabilities? Wtf.

Like, if you want to go after some random dudes today… I guess go for it. It’s a free country.

But this is honestly really repulsive.

HiramCoburn · 2024-10-29T00:37:10+00:00

Whenever I read stuff like this, I remember this quote “I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it.” - Voltaire

0peration_Barbarossa · 2024-10-29T19:54:41+00:00

Not surprised

ParamedicExcellent15 · 2024-10-26T23:47:40+00:00

How weird, the guy on the right looks like that dinkler dwarf

Absolute demons.

After_Fix_2191 · 2024-10-27T08:43:50+00:00

Isn't that a picture of Tom Cruise in Born of the Fourth of July?

Sad-Persimmon-5484 · 2024-10-27T18:01:33+00:00

Idiocracy

PhotographMyWife · 2024-10-29T17:52:34+00:00

Feminism has become terrorism.

szopongebob · 2024-10-31T17:55:19+00:00

Oh no not a first world country journalist woman talking about people drafted

pancakecel · 2024-10-26T22:39:43+00:00

I mean, I'm someone who lives in the third world. The idea that someone would come from the first world to the third world to kill us and then be like ''wow this sucks I'm the victim in the situation'' is sometimes a little annoying. But in the case of the Vietnam war in particular, these people were drafted. They didn't have a choice. So yeah, they are victims. Did they lose as much as the Vietnamese? No. But from the standpoint of their own society, they experience the worst of the conflict.

Jurassican_25 · 2024-10-27T19:56:16+00:00

Defeat? They only lost because they were playing nice in comparison to the VC
