The gender of whoever wrote that post is irrelevant to me. I’m not mischaracterizing anything. Here’s the direct quote:

The resulting brouhaha was rooted in a serious, compelling, and frequently discussed men’s rights issue: The denigration of male sexuality. While not everything within the controversy can apply to every man, the pared down, unvarnished reality is that the basis for targeting creepshots and by extension violentacrez was that the target audience for the sub was men.

The author of the blog is saying that an attack on creephots is an attack on male sexuality. This is a myth. This is the point of my post – that when you say things to imply that all men are predators, you are a misandrist.

Just a quick note on your link to Breaking the Glasses: That blog happens to be written by a woman, and you’re either badly mischaracterizing the article, or badly mischaracterizing male sexuality.

Thanks for this article. I’ve been emotionally confused for some time because of misandry, and that quote about patriarchy was one of the biggest sources of my confusion. But thanks to this article, I’m not confused or unsure anymore. (At least not as much…stupid riddle, acting like your so much smarter than me.) Seriously though, you severely helped me with this. You have no idea how close I came to giving up. I thank you once again for helping me keep my sanity for another day. One last thing…HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE SOLVE THAT RIDDLE!

And I find people who make grand claims without any evidence to be wholly unreliable.

Patriarchy is one of many systems of oppression. Academic feminism has been around for decades. Dismiss it if you like, but don’t pretend that it does not exist. It only makes you look ignorant.

I find that it is feminism that states that all men are rapists and holds many innocent men “responsible” for things they have never done. It isn’t “patriarchy/” There is no “patriarchy. No feminist will allow a definition of this nebulous “patriarchy” to be nailed down. It’s a lot like the “god of the gaps” christians have.

The real misandry comes from feminism, which claims to want equality but wants nothing of the kind.

Yep! And it’s the same excuse that is used for Hijabs and Burkas, or the insistance that women should be modest and demure. The assumption that the male brain is incapable of even basic self control around female flesh is demeaning to men, and so many of us seem to subscribe to it.
