The Anti Feminist Liberal

" I’m on the way home from a long trip that included three separate flights each way. In most of these flights, I saw this family seating pattern over and over: Parents in adjacent aisle seats, with the kids next to the woman. That left the man free to drink or sleep, while the woman handled all the child care. This seemed to me like such a powerful illustration of the patriarchy in action. I guess when you have kids, only men get vacations. " So writes one woman seeing the patriachy bogeyman everywhere. These sorts of posts always make me smile as they are invariably written by young woman who have yet to have children themselvs. They are looking at family life, through naivety, a child's position, and seeing things from an very limited view point. The thing is having children is a huge upheavel in your life. The life that you knew before, care free (taking long trips with three seperate flights each way for example) doesn't really exist anymore. It can do but it...

A new sensation has oppened in Australia, a women's only night club. That's right men are denied entry based purely on gender. The club is called The Black Out Room and takes place in The Aberdeen Hotel , in Perth. The comments on Facebook have been, well not entirely happy about things. This has galvanised the two women, running the club, into a defiance.  This is not the first time that Australia has set up openly misandrist venues. There was a vegan cafe, "Handsome Her" which opened up in Melbourne in 2017 which openly charged men more to use the cafe. Men enjoyed an 18% surchage to cover the widely debunked Gender Pay Gap. 2 Years later and Handsome Her had to close down . It feels that running a business is tough enough but is even harder if you are openly discriminating against 50% of your potential customer base. The thing is, these ventures force us to ask what sort of society we want to be. If we are going to be truly equal rights, then we need to practise w...

  The problem with lived experience is that it's often proffered as evidence as to why a certain thing is the way it is. Feminist circles often use this to push the narrative that "All men are trash". Page after page of how awful men have been are offfered and it shows a compelling picture. The thing is that this "lived experience" is not really evidence of anything. We all know the odds of winning the UK national lottery are approximately 1 in 14 million . This is the equivalent of tossing a coin and getting heads 21 times in a row. It's extremely unlikely, yet there were 383 winners in 2024 . The majority of people will accept that winning the lottery is extremely unlikely. However if you are in a large enough population then there will likely be a few lottery winners there. "It's really unlikely you will win the lottery", "Well I did!", "Yes and so did I". It starts to feel that those incredibly long odds are actually mo...

  Feminist spaces are full of angry women. Angry at everything and anybody remotely male. The gripes are often the patriachy bogeyman and misogyny. The visitors to these forums are so triggered, so unhappy, that they seem to find fault in anything they can. From a car rental issue being resolved, at the end, the same time a feminist cc'd their male partner into the email or a woman who got turned down for a job and the ONLY reason it could be is misogyny. Online forums create angry women who see the ghost of the patriachy bogeyman absolutely everywhere. The last concept from any angry feminist's mind is that correlation does not necessarily mean causation : There are more TV aerials in the USA than in Africa HIV is more pevalent in Africa than the USA Therefore TV Aerials prevent HIV My guess is that sociology, and in particular Women's Studies university courses, do not teach statistical analysis, or much mathematics on their courses. The  Oxford University Women's S...

One of the, many, arguments a misandrist will say, to show men as awful, is that they are statistically more likely to leave their wives if the wife becomes chronically ill, or disabled , and he is expected to be the caretaker.  This is following a study in 2015 which tracked 2,701 marriages and found that the onset of a wfe's illness is more likely associated with an elevated risk of divorce. So yes, men, the swine, are more likely to leave a sick wife than a wife is to leave a sick man. As always though, these things are not quite as cut and dry as the average, angry, feminist would have you believe. They point to it as another form of misogyny and how women are constantly held back by patriachy and, as per usual, awful, horrible, men. The thing is even getting to that point where a marriage has lasted long enough for illness onset in later life is incredibly rare. Sadly 42% of marriages, in the UK, end in divorce .The courts usually award child custody to the mother, fathers l...

Whenever you read a feminist site, violence towards girls, or women, form men is one of the major talking points. Whether it's sex crimes or homicide, it features predominately in discourse. Now, obviously crime is horrible, it's awful. Nobody should be attacked and the full weight of the law and law enforcement should be deployed to protect people against crime. However whenever you dig into the statistics, or look a little closer the whole story seems rather more complicated than "horrible man beating women" which has almost become such a meme amongst feminist circles. Here's the actual numbers, the risks that women face in life in 21st Century United Kingdom: Activity Fatalities Dementia 40,256 Diabetes mellitus 30,132 Alzheimer's disease 25,789 ...

Whenever you read female, and more likely feminist spaces, you will often come across woman who simply disag ree with anything that people write. Anything that doesn't stick to the rigid script of men opressing women,  patriarchy  holding all women back is robustly rejected. It's almost lifted directly from the Russian propoganda play book: d imiss, deny, minimise. Often it feels that you are talking to a cult member. Similar to socialists minimising that communism led to mass murder in Russia, Cambodia and other countries to name a few, feminists maintain that feminism is nothing but good and that misandry does not exist. Even though it's there, clear as day to anyone who reads feminist spaces, misandry is ultimately rejected as not even existing. A recent discussion on reddit brought the standard rejection that feminists are misandrist. Some even struggled to understand the term misandry even though they seem to have an adept grip of the opposite term, misogyny.  When...

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain. She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space. The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It...
