The Hugo Problem

The most important statement in that article is this:

An ongoing debate among advocates of women’s rights is, Can a man be a feminist? While some women have no problem letting men join discussions of female-related issues—the more allies, the better!—others think men should shut up and butt out.

Feminism cannot claim to be the study of gender equality unless they include 50% men. So long as any significant portion of feminists feels that men should shut up and butt out, they will never, ever be treated as a group focused on equality.

My comment on the article:

Feminism is toxic to everyone, but it is especially toxic to men. Hugo Schwyzer was both a victim of feminism, and a proponent of it.

Feminism is basically a hatred of men. Any man who takes up the belief that men are evil, like Hugo Schwyzer, will inevitably become mentally ill.

Had to check the date of the article: March 2014. It's not a repeat, Schwyzer is back in the media, but is anyone really surprised? The old scamp is struggling with the same issues he's always struggled with, and I doubt if anyone is surprised by that either. Nobody's really been surprised by Hugo for a long time. For a while, it suited feminists to pretend to believe he was redeemed, so that he could sermonize to men from inside their tent. Later it suited feminists to pretend to be shocked that he wasn't redeemed. Under the former dispensation, the message was: listen to this man Hugo reveal the secrets of how men are scumbags. Under the latter dispensation, the message was: look at what this man Hugo has done to show how men are scumbags.

There is no "Hugo Problem". Well I guess you could say there is but the "problem" is that feminists are pissed because for years Hugo was one of their weapons of choice to throw in the faces of men that didn't clamor to line up with feminism. He was the "real man" so to speak. When his dirty deeds came to light feminists felt betrayed.

I honestly don't blame them for feeling so but at the same time I seriously had to fight back the urge to say, "I told you so." And frankly I bet a lot of men had to fight that same urge.

You see while female feminists were so overjoyed to have him on their side many of them gave him a straight up free pass on a lot of his behaviors and thoughts such as generalizing and insult men, semi defending paternity fraud, and his habit of ignoring civil criticism from non feminist men (but he had no problem highlighting the outrageous stuff). Female feminists were okay with that shit.

But as soon as they found out that he was actually doing women wrong...THEN he became an jerk to them.

i feel sorry for his emotional and logical instability.

Ah yes, I remember the crash and burn of Hugo.

When he says he sexted with a 27 year old student of his - that girl is a sex worker/camgirl/porn actress, etc.

I knew her from a camsite a long time ago and I would look at her Twitter sometimes. In the recent past she's been through this crazy Twitter war with an ex of hers. She accused him of all kinds abuse, filed police reports, etc. and then eventually admitted it was a lie.

But not long after she started a war with him again, and this time she joined some kind of crowd sourcing site like Kickstarter, because she wanted people to give her money to sue her ex. Also, this time, she focused more on the things he was saying about her on Twitter, even though the things he said usually just amounted to "she's crazy" and denying her allegations. But she also brought up all the earlier stuff from the police report and everything again.

After less than a week she decided not to sue, and claims to have refunded all donations.

So how does this story conclude, just a few short weeks later?

They marry each other.
