Apparently we are facing a new terrorist threat in this country. Feminists. I'm sorry, what?

Men’s rights activists have raised $25,000 to provide additional security for an upcoming conference because, “We’ve had ongoing problems with the feminist establishment, which is a multibillion-dollar hate industry, for years,” according to men’s rights blogger Dean Esmay. 

The money will be used to hire seven off-duty police officers to provide security for the event. The hotel hosting the conference in Detroit, Michigan sent a letter to organizers requesting the additional security and expressed concerns about the safety of its employees and guests related to threats of violence. Police were contacted about the conference, but a spokesperson said they had not received “any word about threats.” 

The letter does not say from whom the threats came, but the men’s rights activists behind the conference are pretty sure they are from feminists. Because they like to blame feminists for pretty much everything. As Abby Ohlheiser at the Wire points out, A Voice For Men’s homepage currently links to a petition to ”class feminism as a terrorist group.”

By the way this is a sentence taken from this idiot's website:

The old saying goes, you can’t fight city hall. That may be true, but it’s nothing compared to fighting titty hall. Not even close. 

Oh yeah, clever. Okay I admit that I have had a rocky marriage...or two...and I have even had a stalker...or six....but calling women terrorists, and paying for security out of fear of them, is pretty damn unmanly in my book.

You know I keep reading about this resurgent misogyny, demonstrated by the UCSB killer, and the anger from tech communities toward feminists, but I have to say that I don't get it.

We live in a time when the objectification is women is only a mouse click away, and every female pop star dresses like a stripper and virtually every movie queen has shed their tops at least a handful of times on film in order to satisfy the carnal desires of the male demographic.

So I guess I don't understand why there are men who suddenly stumble a few steps back along the evolutionary trail if ALL women do not offer to make them a sandwich, or want to be treated like everyday human beings.

Maybe I missed a meeting of "Assholes Anonymous."

Personally I do not understand men who don't appreciate strong women, or who fear their independence. If you are confident, and sure of yourself, you want to surround yourself with people of equal confidence and self awareness.

If you are not that assured about your masculinity then I guess you would resort to surrounding yourself with security, use religion to beat women into submission, or walk around like this....

...and fire your metallic penis at targets like this.

Maybe I just don't understand since I was raised by a headstrong single mother who would NEVER allow herself to be subjugated by a man.

Bummer! I guess that means I don't get to join their cool "No Gerlz Allowed" club.
