Feminists have given the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training recommendations for how to alter the behaviors of male students. Female students? Nope, they’re perfect. No recommendations.

No, just the boys have to change because apparently masculinity is offensive and needs to be replaced with something more “feminist-friendly.”

So, what has qualified the feminists to diagnose our young boys and administer the “masculinity shield?” Is it their “Women’s Studies” degrees? Are they licensed behavioral specialists with advanced degrees in male behavioral patterns and biological disposition?

And if so, was there really a need for them to stick their noses into the school system when there was nothing happening there to begin with?

Or are they just like the other feminists who have written books on the dangers of masculinity, armed with nothing but sexist ideas and a degree from women with similar sexist ideas.

Should we really be taking the extremely biased recommendations from feminists about things that are only meant to help women/girls?

Are there any “checks and balances” in place to ensure that having feminism as a bullet point on the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training website is being fair to men/boys?

Should Men’s Rights Activists also target schools for ways to change girls to make men’s lives easier?

Do you think there should be a MRA link on the Queensland Governmet Department of Education and Training website?

It seems to me that modern feminism has no real qualms with women’s legal rights anymore. Their real target seems to be the mindset of men and even other women who don’t view the world through feminist goggles. Some extreme threads of feminism want to reverse the political power roles, as if men being in authoritarian positions were ever the problem (the authoritarian positions themselves were the problem. The terms female and despotic are not mutually exclusive.) How is this at all ‘women’s struggle for equal opportunity?’

But what I really don’t understand is feminists opposed to prostitution and pornography.

They claim that these industries are exploiting women. Granted, some girls are coerced into becoming prostitutes,(which, when you think about it is true for doctors, or any other profession.) but most aren’t, and surly legalization and legitimization of prostitution would be the solution to this.

The idea that pornography ‘eroticizes the domination, humiliation, and coercion of women, and reinforces sexual and cultural attitudes that are complicit in **** and sexual harassment’, while absurd and unfounded in its own right, is no reason to push for legislation to ban it. I don’t believe many of the anti-porn feminist actually believe this. I think they just want to outlaw behavior that they see as giving them, as women, a bad name. This collectivist type of thinking is laughable at best and despicable at worst. You are an individual before you are any ***.

The attempt to ban pornography and prostitution based on these pretenses is no less dishonest and reprehensible as people trying to pass laws against violent video games due to their alleged behavioral affects.

There is no real anti-porn or anti-prostitution movement, there is only an anti-freedom movement. Modern feminism is nearly the antithesis of the original brand of feminism, which pushed for equal rights and liberty. The label seems to have been ********* by disturbingly selfish women into what it is today. And they didn’t even have the decency to change feminism’s name to what they have made it; Fascism.

Thank you.
re:Micheal

You’d be surprised. But even if i hadn’t most *********** (in this country) chose to be ***********. What right has the government to tell them not to?
re:Lilyta

So, basically what your saying is that because these industries present situations that you wouldn’t subject yourself to, no one should be able to make a living doing them?

I could write a whole book on the horrors of coal mining and how damaging it is to the men that do it but does that mean we should outlaw coal mining?
re:Resurrected Yet Another Time

I gotta wonder if you even read my post.

Instead of men in general. I mean one of the main traits of rapists in particular and abusers is poor impulse control, which can also be a symptom of other conditions like AD/HD etc……. So shouldn’t you really be targeting a specific group, or at least telling men to stop these potential rapists from acting out.

This is the diagnostic criterion for sociopathy (anti-social personality disorder)

1.Persistent lying or stealing
2.Recurring difficulties with the law
3.Tendency to violate the rights and boundaries of others (property, physical, sexual, emotional, legal)
4.Substance abuse
5.Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
6.A persistent agitated or depressed feeling (dysphoria)
7.Inability to tolerate boredom
8.Disregard for the safety of self or others
9.A childhood diagnosis of conduct disorders - this is not a symptom but “a history of”
10.Lack of remorse, related to hurting others
11.Superficial charm
12.Impulsiveness
13.A sense of extreme entitlement
14.Inability to make or keep friends
15.Recklessness, impulsivity
16.People with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder often experience difficulties with authority figures
:
This is the diagnostic criteria for psychopathy:

Factor1: Aggressive narcissism
1.Glibness / superficial charm
2.Grandiose sense of self-worth
3.Pathological lying
4.Cunning / manipulative
5.Lack of remorse or guilt
6.Shallow
7.Callous / lack of empathy
8.Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
9.Promiscuous sexual behavior
Factor2: Socially deviant lifestyle
1.Need for stimulation / proneness to boredom
2.Parasitic lifestyle
3.Poor behavioral control
4.Lack of realistic, long-term goals
5.Impulsivity
6.Irresponsibility
7.Juvenile delinquency
8.Early behavior problems
9.Many short-term marital relationships
10.Revocation of conditional release
Traits not correlated with either factor
1.Many short-term marital relationships
2.Promiscuous sexual behavior
3.Criminal versatility

As you can see we might just be looking at a particular subgroup of the male population here.
Though another important thing here is alcohol, which disinhibits the mind so your subconscious fantasies become reality, which can the mind affect any male in the population.
Some men though are more likely to continuously abuse alcohol and drugs, combined with promiscuous behavior, as in the group above.
Also those with bipolar affective disorder like me can fall easily fall into these states of disinhibition, with or without alcohol.
I guess all you need is some sick **** fantasy that a lot of men have, a semi-conscious disinhibited state of mind, and promiscuous and impulsive behaviour.

What are your opinions on this?
Zen & the Art of Mellie: I know what you mean, but even the most honest good men you’re talking about might possibly think about hurting a flea, and alcohol would allow them to do that, among other things, if you get what I mean.

Can you arrange starting from most likely to be targeted to least likely?
a. Elderly
b. *** Women
c. *** Men
d. Straight Women
e. Mixed Genders
f. Straight Men
g. Children

FYI - Profile of the Sociopath:

-Glibness and Superficial Charm
-Manipulative and Conning
-They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
-Grandiose Sense of Self
-Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
-Pathological Lying
-Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
-Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
-A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
-Shallow Emotions
-When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
-Incapacity for Love
-Need for Stimulation
-Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
-Callousness/Lack of Empathy
-Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
-Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
-Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
-Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
-Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
-Irresponsibility/Unreliability
-Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
-Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
-Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, **** and sexual acting out of all sorts.
-Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
-Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
-Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
-Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
