Trade215 “And like an internet stock its got no substance, just spin and hot air.”

I agree with you.

I would note in her last post,

Adding to the “air” is Audrey’s last post where she seems to have exceeded her self to the point, her misandrist sarcasm could be described as plain old

“Master bating”

Although some might spell it with the a “u” instead of the “e” and no space between the “r” and “b”

Which would fit, the original article was a pretentious wank intended to draw a crowd for the narcissistic ego of the author

Audrey Apple, someone who thinks that men are “awful”, but actually likes men.

You can say that you like males, and you could also provide some tangible proof.

Taking the banner “Boys are made of slime and snails” off your blogsite would be some type of tangible proof.

Here is a medical encyclopaedia to help you in your decision making.

My theory is that you currently keep the banner there in the hope of attracting misandrists to your blogsite.

You could also clean out the profanity in your blogsite, but that may be asking for too much.

Could you also answer a question to help clear up an issue for the seemingly confused Turnrightthenleft.

Are you a “fringe feminist”, or just a normal and everyday feminist?

Well HRS, I have been doing a little browsing and found these;

It would appear that Warren Farrell has a new book.

Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?: A Debate between Warren Farrell (with Steven Svoboda) and James P. Sterba.

Peter West reviewed the book ‘How the Media Portray Men’

I will quote him.

“In totalitarian societies people are told what to think!”

“It explains how we have accepted that we must be careful about what we say about women, how women are portrayed….. But the same benefit is not extended to men. There is very little positive material presented about men as a group.”

“Feminism is an ideology….”

“RW Connell observed ‘The man reading feminist writing is likely to encounter pictures of men as rapists, batterers..”

“Academics (as Robert Hughes observed) are like schools of fish; they all swim in the same direction. Until they notice something and, they go off in a new direction. Journalists whether educated at universities or not accept feminism as correct. Other ways of thinking are suspect.”

“Any disagreement with feminist doctrine is dismissed out of hand as backlash against women.”

“Out society has become a femocracy in which men and masculinity are marginalized. Men are edged out of the family, the workplace and society. The game of like is increasingly being played by women’s rules; success and failure is measured by women’s criteria”

So for the rest of you take a chill pill, just maybe HRS is saying something very important.

HRS, you're the one who is confused.

In that post, I was very clearly making the point that I think Audrey's a normal feminist, and it's the hardline man-hating feminists that are on the fringe.

Yet in your next post, you totally got the wrong end of the stick, and said that I was saying Audrey was a fringe feminist, as some kind of excuse, which is the complete opposite of what I was saying.

Read more carefully.

In the thread for her more recent article, I've explained that in more detail. She tells a story about the simple love between men and women and the difficulties it present, making no mention of man hating or feminism, but because you're hardwired to hate feminists, it's the only response you can give.

JamesH: "...just maybe HRS is saying something very important"

Perhaps in the context of his own obsessive worldview and that of others of his misogynist ilk.

For the rest of us, most of what he writes amounts to little more than repetitive, pathetic bleating.
