Queen's University sends message to students: Learn Your Feminist Catechism

The blog links to Queens University Faculty Statement in Support of Feminist Activism where I added the following comment:

From your statement: "We write to show our support for feminist students and feminist work at Queen’s and for everyone who speaks out against violence, discrimination, and injustice."

I thank these Queens University professors who have written to show their support for EVERYONE who speaks out against violence, discrimination, and injustice, including the fine members of the reddit's men's rights commmunity.

Consider checking out the reddit Men's Rights FAQ. Here are some quotes from our reddit community members from the FAQ:

"thought I had to share with the community that gave me a lot." - an abused boy.

"I was actually feeling very depressed and suicidal earlier .. Reading the posts I stumbled upon by accident here has dramatically improved my mood - one less thing that I don't feel so isolated on. Thanks for allowing this community to exist!"

"here you can find help and here we are all brothers and sisters that just want to make the world a better place."

"I want to stand up for mens rights. I grew up very oppressed, but never thought poorly of it that way. I always thought that being a man meant that I was supposed to be seen as a "pig" or worse."

"As a male survivor, I learned early on not to talk about it, because it makes me the butt of jokes and ridicule. It's assumed that I wanted it, it's assumed that I'm supposed to be some kind of insatiable horndog .. Thanks for being there to read a little bit of my f***** up story. Thanks for trying to do something about it. When I can't stand up and talk about it, I'm glad that there are people who will."

"For the last 4 years my Sons Mother has been out of our life. She lives nearby and chooses to have nothing to do with him. .. I have been battling [prejudice] since his mother left when he was 2 years old."

"I want to talk about how I was suckered into a hate movement .. men are the enemy .. Paranoia and irrational hatred drives radical feminism. .. [I left because] I couldn't stay that way with my integrity intact. "

"Hi Guys, I am [Liz] a journalist with a New York based digital news agency launching in two weeks .. For everyone who has responded: THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your stories are amazing and you are all brave to tell them."

", I am a 23 year old man who happens to be gay, I am out and proud but it does not define me. ... I want to say I'm overwhelmed with the positive reasponse, I did not now what to expect after what I was told about the MRM, I'm glad what I was told was wrong! I will be sticking around and contribute where I can."

"I am a gay man as well. The MRM is a movement I support."

Regardless of your coverage, our community will continue to stand with victims.

Over 80 faculty members at Queen's University quickly drafted, signed, and published a letter declaring their unqualified support and solidarity with campus feminists against any and all critics of feminist thought, including other Queen's students.

Over 80... that number wouldn't happen to be 88, would it?

At what point will we learn lessons from any of this?

Queen's is pathetic, Kingston is pathetic.
