Why such defensiveness, Jardine K Jardine?

>>Pericles Your paternalistic sexist bigotry would have been less offensive if at the same time you had not been hypocritically pretending to be concerned about paternalistic sexist bigotry. But a good example of stock standard feminist modus operandi, thanks.<<

I mean, let's face it, this is not even an effective insult - I am assuming that an insult was your intention, since no other reading makes any sense.

I couldn't find anywhere in my post that could be construed as my being "concerned about paternalistic sexist bigotry", even at the level of pretence that you infer.

But hey, it must have struck some kind of chord, or you wouldn't have wasted any energy in making a response.

Just for the record, my concern was the whining, self-pitying nature of the article. I made no mention of feminism per se, just on its perceived impact on an apparently terminally fragile male psyche.

Why such defensiveness that this university course was shelved?

<University of South Australia Pulls Plug on Male Studies Program
January 14, 2014 By Paul Elam

Administration officials at the University of South Australia have essentially pulled the plug on the Male Studies initiative at that school, effectively bringing years of academic preparation to a sudden halt. The school made the decision after a flurry of false allegations were made by journalist Tory Shepherd in the online magazine Adelaide Now.

Shepherd falsely reported that the Male Studies group had ties to “hate groups,” one of them being A Voice for Men. Her article, which misleadingly suggested a connection between the Male Studies group and the A Voice for Men website, also claimed that the A Voice for Men organization had been declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. That claim is false. Indeed, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Arthur Goldwag made public statements expressing the fact that no such designation about A Voice for Men had ever been made.

The motives behind the false reporting, which also involved support from Australian ideological feminists such as Dr. Michael Flood, appears to be one of maintaining ideological control of the conversation on sex and gender, keeping it in feminist hands.

Dr. Miles Groth, one of the proponents of Male Studies at the university posted the following to the Male Studies Facebook page, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald.

”Two years of preparation and the support of the university from the start now seem to be jeopardy because of unnamed critics making erroneous accusations. It has been known for some years now that academe is held hostage by radical ideological feminists in the humanities and social sciences, and administration, who fear them.”

The university administration changed direction and turned against the initiative after the online smear campaign.

Interestingly, Adelaide Now subsequently reported on the withdrawal of support from the university as though it was an unbiased news story. This is after they published the unsubstantiated and unsupported attacks on A Voice for Men and the Male Studies group.>

I'd never heard this Flood story

Most ideologues are a bit strange and lack " the milk of human kindness", methinks......

Waverley, children's lives are being put at risk by communist femi-NAZIS.
1, equating communist feminism with nazism is an insult to Hitler who is a saint compared to ALL feminists, but i do it to make the point about international socialism & national socialism being almost identical to each other as well as the fact that feminism is 100% evil.
2, i use capitals sometimes to highlight some key words for the communists who are either 100% stupid or 100% evil.
3, feminists generalize about men, then have the gall to complain about men making generalizations about women.
4, if you have any doubts or UN-certainties about a single word in any comment of mine & i will supply you with links to the well documented scientifically proven facts about Satanic feminism.

Pericles, J K J, is a libertarian & not a conservative, libertarianism is a very different ideology to both communism & classical Liberalism.

onthebeach, Tory Shepherd is an old communist from way back & even consistently supported Germaine Gillard, the worst world leader in world history.

Waverley, true, except for conservatives, who are by definition, not ideologues.

imacentristmoderate, Agree with what you say 100%.
Add to this the spread of exogenous oestrogen throughout the male world to "feminise" them. This is a good read http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/newscience/behavior/behav.htm. It was written by a women who wanted and craved a fair world. She is somebody that all women should look up too and use as a role model. The communist femi-NAZIS have spread these chemicals throughout the world as a chemical control of males. You can find out more about Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC's) from World Health Organisation, The Endocrine Society, Europe Committee on EDC's. Or just use Google Scholar and you will thousands of peer reviewed reports. How ever don't look for information in Western communist newspapers you won't find it. They don't want you to know so you'll take you "medicine" like a good little boy.

A video worth watching, 'Erin Pizzey Speaks at the Domestic Violence 2014 Symposium in Toronto'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUwxxijr3g

A quote from it by Erin Pizzey, "The women's movement isn't where we can mend broken people".
