The First Rule of Feminism

Posted on | January 29, 2015 | 183 Comments

Feminism is the belief that men are entirely useless, except when men are destructive and evil. If you think any man ever had any skill, knowledge or virtue that entitled him to be treated with courtesy and respect, you are not a feminist. According to feminism, all that is good and worthy in human history — all important accomplishments, every act of courage and kindness — has been done by women. Anyone who believes otherwise has been brainwashed by the patriarchal myth that males have imposed on society as “history” and so-called “science.”

Such are the esoteric doctrines of feminism, the c0re ideology that inspires their endless complaints about inequality and oppression. By proclaiming that they have a monopoly of wisdom and virtue, feminists thereby empower themselves to tell the rest of us what we are allowed to say and what we are permitted to think. If at any time you make any statement that is not consistent with feminist ideology, you will be vilified and insulted, shouted down by the feminist mob that exercises a heckler’s veto over public discourse. Totalitarian movements require totalitarian tactics, and the foremost goal of feminists is to silence those whom they aim to enslave or destroy. See for yourself:

RULES FOR MEN IN FEMINIST MOVEMENTS

Shut up and listen
Ask me, don’t tell me
Prepare to be wrong
Call fellow men out on problematic behaviour
Never dismiss the lived experiences of women
Do not attempt to take a leadership role

Feminists who say their movement is about “equality” are lying. Feminism is a movement about power — absolute and unlimited power — and therefore the first rule for men in feminist movements is, SHUT UP. (That list of rules has been “liked” or “reblogged” more than 20,000 times on Tumblr.com since it was posted in April 2013.)

The three principles of feminism are selfishness, dishonesty and hate. If feminism had a fourth principle, it would be more hate.

“I don’t particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly and, above all other things, demanding . . . time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness. . . . I don’t want a baby. . . . Nothing will make me want a baby. . . . This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion.”
— Amanda Marcotte, March 2014

Feminism’s fanatical hatred empowers feminist dishonesty. They usually try to pretend that “choice” isn’t about hating babies, but the question remains: If feminists don’t hate babies, why do they want to kill them?

To which their answer is, SHUT UP.

We cannot be permitted to speak the truth about feminism. Facts and logic are tools of the patriarchy, and ordinary “common sense” — well, that’s just an obsolete male-supremacist myth!

A movement that systematically excludes honest, sane and intelligent people will tend to become a paranoid hive of fools. This brings us to “Ask a Radfem,” a Tumlbr blog that describe its purpose thus:

This blog exists to bridge a gap between people with honest questions about radical feminism, and radical feminists with something to say.

Let’s meet a few of the site’s contributors, shall we?

Ash is a fat, creative writer, lesbian radical feminist from Australia who aspires to be a women’s health nurse. She is a gender abolitionist, is anti-kink culture and pro the destruction of the porn and prostitution industries – but supports porn actresses and prostitutes themselves.
Cammy is a white-passing American woman from a Puerto Rican household. A bisexual radical feminist in the Southern U.S., she focuses on lesbians, childfreedom, gender and sex industry abolition, religious apostates and the poor. She is an atheist and a survivor of trauma from emotional abuse, molestation and rape dealing with C-PTSD, anxiety and depression. Past experiences include BDSM, polyamory, self-harming, abortion, an abusive marriage, Christianity and Islam.
Blossom is an outreach worker from Canada. Her passion lies in harm reduction, outreach, & housing initiatives with people experiencing addiction & homelessness. She is a de-transitioned lesbian who lived “as male” from 2004-2011 and has experienced the process of transition and eventual de-transition with the help of mental health professionals and family. . . . She is also a former webcam girl and behind-the-scenes employee of various adult websites. She focuses on gender abolition, mental health, & lesbian activism.
Lauren (Lo) is a 17-year-old white-passing Chicana from Southern California. Her career aspiration is to work against internet crimes against children for either local or federal law enforcement. She identifies as bisexual and is open about her struggle with anxiety disorder.
R4df3m is a no-nonsense fat, disabled, bisexual radical feminist from Portland, Oregon who does not mince words. A former sex worker and abuse survivor, she speaks primarily about the harms of the sex industry and the realities of sex based oppression. As a bisexual radical woman in a heterosexual marriage she addresses the unique intersections of straight passing privilege and the abuse inherent to heterosexual relationships.

It’s an all-star lineup of feminist kooks. You could not assemble such a crew of weirdos by accident. The pattern is not random. Crazy movements attract crazy people. Here is one of the more seemingly sane contributors to “Ask a Radfem”:

Alisha M. is a feminist blogger, writer, musician, and poet, from the Southern United States. She is focused on gender abolition, women’s media, health, spirituality and activism for women with mental illness.

Feminism = “activism for women with mental illness.” Thanks for the concise definition, Alisha! Now let’s get to the big question:

Can/how a male promote radical feminism?
Listening. Really listening and being involved. Listening. This is something I’m trying to explain to my male friends who by some stroke of “altruism” really want to help be better allies. Just listen. Listen with empathy and emotions, be human, be vulnerable . . . accept silence on your part and accept sometimes being wrong.
-Alisha

In other words, SHUT UP.

Or applaud the feminist’s courage for killing her baby:

I couldn’t bring another monster into the world. We already have enough enemies as it is.

That’s from an article with the empowering feminist headline, “I Aborted My Baby — Because it was a Boy.”

Feminism is organized insanity. Why be merely crazy, when you can turn your mental illness into a political movement?

So, she is married to a ~~man~~ male, yet claims that abuse is inherent in heterosexual relationships? Either she is deliberately staying in an abusive marriage, or heterosexual relationships cannot be inherently abusive; which one is it?

Maybe her husband is a butch dyke?

She sounds like a winner though. From her inevitable Tumblr page:

Radical feminist scholar from Portland, Oregon.

Portland, Oregon. Why you Americans haven’t built a razor wire fence around that place, I’ll never know.

I blog about:
Gender critical and radical feminist theory, the harms of the sex industry, the harms of the modern sex positivity movement and the harms of pornography from a fat and disabled perspective.

So she’s fat, handicapped, and crazy. Lucky husband!

I am currently in my junior year of my undergrad, pursuing a BA in history & women’s studies. I have earned a certificate of women’s studies via my associates degree.

She’s poor, and will always be poor due to wasting time and money on a pointless degree.

I wonder if the husband is locked up in her basement against his will.

As spring turned into summer and my belly started to grow, my mind ran wild with the thoughts of teaching my daughter from a young age tolerance and feminist ideals. Choosing the right all-girls daycare, then elementary school, all so that she could grow up and thrive in an environment where women are told that they can do anything that they want to do. No man will be around to hurt her progress, no boys there to demean her or call her names.

I had already started buying gender neutral clothing since I did not want outside influences affecting what gender she would ultimately become. My research on nannies one day came to an abrupt end when my cell phone alarm went off – time for my 5 month appointment. These early appointments had gone well enough, my baby was progressing in a healthy manner.

Today, my doctor, who I will call “Sandy” did an ultrasound and everything appeared to be fine. “Would you like to know the gender?” Sandy asked. I thought to myself “That machine is an ultrasound, not a crystal ball, you couldn’t tell me the gender of my baby even if you wanted to”

“Sure” was my response.

“It’s a boy”…..

……

“What?” I managed to sputter. Sandy then showed me on the ultrasound how exactly my body had betrayed me even worse than the misogynistic suit jockey on the airplane so many months before. I was in shock, I started crying, weeping at the thought of what I was about to curse the world with.

On my way home, my driver asked if I was ok and if I needed anything. “JUST STOP RIGHT HERE” I yelled. Deciding to walk the 4 blocks back home. My home became my prison and my fetus became my warden the next 48 hours. Crying, sobbing, uncontrollable weeping, mental anguish the likes of which may only be experienced by those who have had their lives destroyed by war, I was a refugee, and my home was my refugee camp, an unfamiliar place that was just….sheltering me.

By the third day, I started regaining some of my mental strength and knew what I had to do. I couldn’t bring another monster into the world. We already have enough enemies as it is. It didn’t matter that I would be raising a son, he would still come into contact with boys, men, perhaps even the suit jockey who would inevitably twist his carefully constructed upbringing with their kindness. He would think “These men aren’t so bad, why would mom say that they are holding me down?”

This lovely young woman viewed her unborn child as a baby, she apparently loved her, right up until the moment she found out that her daughter would actually be a son . . . and then she had him killed.

Make no mistake about it: this young woman, who thinks that men are monsters, was not someone who detachedly thought that a “fetus” wasn’t really a person, a living human being, because that wasn’t how she thought of her unborn child when she though (for whatever reason) that the child would be female. Once she discovered that her unborn child would be male, she had him killed . . . yet she thinks that men are the monsters.

Then, if you read the rest of her article, she got pregnant again, and, fortunately for her child, this one was female, and thus allowed to live, but she went into getting pregnant again knowing that there was a 50/50 chance that her next child would be male as well, went into getting pregnant knowing that there was a 50/50 chance she’d have this one killed, too.

Miss Marcotte has said, many times, that she loves and enjoys sex, and given that she has been with the same man for several years, I must assume that he not only has balls, but must be, as Sheldon Cooper once said about one of Penny’s boyfriends “very skilled at coitus.”

Portland, Oregon. Why you Americans haven’t built a razor wire fence around that place, I’ll never know.

That is a fair question, and the answer is that it has too many virtues. Like elves (if they existed), Portlanders pour themselves into experimenting and perfecting things. We have some of the highest per-capita brewpubs, bookstores, strip clubs, and coffee shops. They’re also amazing at food and music.

They’re just too good at what they do for us suburbanites to resist, so the razor wire is a no. Sorry.

No because the answer is that not enough women are STEM qualified because patriarchy. So not enough women study it for just women related complications nor just how dangerous these other conditions affect women, because patriarchy. So the answer to your question is and has always been patriarchy. Just like some folks the answer has always been racism.

Note that most feminists bisexuals that do sexual relationships usually do it in the BDSM/50 shades style where they get the idea that abuse is there. Again most of these folks haven’t formed positive loving relationships with others, again from the abuse they suffered and in turn become adjusted to being slapped, thrown around, choked etc as part of sex. That and still in thier messed up logic they know that RadFem is a no go condition in society and contrary to how the world change has occurred that a woman living with a woman is viewed as weird if they aren’t in a Boston Marriage then at least living as woman and man due.
Additionally, for the radical Gays and Lesbian have a visceral hate for bisexuals because the bisexuals are the ones living the “lie” with respect to thier feelings. So that is where some of her oppression is coming from additional from straight social order pulling her to be straight.

Nearly all SJW sites have a disclaimer like that. I used to lurk at one that was full board into gamer gate and gamers are evil. They brought up a tangential lady who instigation of a fight over “safe zones” and more SJW topics in skeptical meetings,whom was also recorded making mysigonist comments about her female opponents. That the evil men’s rights and mysigonist online community was hating her. When I showed links to this information that she was just as guilty of starting the fight via her hate-filled and anti-women comments. I got the boot and threats to not come around anymore.
They want echo chambers to feel positive about thier own crazy thoughts. Anyone with a contrary our outside groupthink is evil and corrupt and will be executed first when the patriarchal oppressors are overthrown.

Not sure if she belongs in a jail or a mental institution, or both. But future civilisations will look back at our time in history with horror, just as we are repulsed by the infanticide practiced by the Aztecs or the Inca.
