Erin Pizzey's response to Cathy Young's accusations of misogyny and hateful speech

Feminists attack AVFM because it is the most effective contingent of the men's rights movement. They figure if they can take out the strongest pillar, that the entire movement will crumble.

They underestimate that pillar.

For a response it is surprising she never mentions Cathy Young or the editorial. And there is no way to claim that Cathy Young is a radical feminist.

Girl Writes What, can you please expand on why you think this is a response to Cathy Young, and if either you or Pizzey are claiming Young to be a radical feminist?

(I am truly saddened to see AVFM and you in particular Karen, go after Cathy Young, who I consider to be a true friend of men and fathers.)

Update: to clarify, Erin's piece starts off with this:

Just recently there has been a concerted effort by radical feminists to attack any man who dares question their rule of law over all areas of our lives. This domination takes in all social media: television, newspapers, websites and magazines. I have seen screeds of radical feminist rhetoric on the internet that talk about castrating men, killing baby boys and make outrageous threats against transsexuals. Yet, when men finally begin to stand up and talk about the international violence against them at the hands of these radical feminists and the agencies and courts they control, these very same women are able to deem anything they say as a ‘hate crime.’ There is, in fact, a largely invisible war raging as men and men’s groups gather together to oppose the whole radical feminist movement and its own ‘hate speech.’

If this piece, as GWW suggests, is directed to Cathy Young, well, it's a fail because there is just no way anyone with any knowledge of Young's writings for 15 or more years can in any manner align her with radical feminism.

I'm a huge fan of Erin, she's willing to speak the truth and actually help people.

I find it telling how feminists react to people who don't spread their ideology. It shows that feminists don't care about helping people.

Has any feminist provided a genuine counter to Erin's arguments?

I love them, they just go straight to the core of the wackjob feminists, but I can't see a defense or anything.

Women have lost their right to be home with their children.

Good grief, it was never a right to impose such responsibility on men. Also, stop claiming ownership of children.
