Men's Rights

Men's Rights

I've heard my name and the word "misogynist" used in the same sentence before. It is sad that this is the case because I am in a unique position to identify with and personally empathize with women throughout history who were abused by men while society looked on, or worse yet, incarcerated those who spoke out against it.

So what is my stance on men's rights? What about feminism, women's rights or gender issues in general?

Well, this will anger a lot of people because it is true and it is mostly hidden for the time being from credibility in the public eye. There are a lot of abused and repressed men out there who are eventually going to grow a backbone and start to assimilate into a unified force. Just as the pendulum has swung wildly in favour of women's rights, there will come a day when the apogee is reached, and things start to slide downhill in the other direction. I’m probably a little ahead of my time in foreseeing this because it has not yet become obvious to most people just how angry and upset men are about being treated with such disrespect and unfairness. It may not even be obvious to the men themselves as the tension builds and they struggle to understand their own consternation. Rest assured there will come a time when the house of cards begins to fall, so preparation for that day would be a good thing.

So that's my stance on what is and what will be. How about what I will do about it?

When the time comes, and the camel's back is broke, I will stand up and say this: There are a lot of men who have been violated, abused and even terrorized. It was an unjust thing to have happened, and it was wrong of society to turn a blind eye at best or further rub salt in the wound via persecution at worst. A lot of downtrodden men are fed up and want to reclaim their rights and their dignity by seeing those who have perpetrated this heinous violation of human rights pay for what they have done. There are a lot of angry men out there, and I DON'T HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM.

For you see, rights and dignity is something which comes from within, not without. So long as you recognize this, nobody can take that away, no matter how much force they use or how violently that pendulum swings. It's just a back-and-forth game of politics that is pretty childish and immature if you ask me. Take yourself out of the game and see what happens.

Now... once we've gotten past that, how about we all stop identifying ourselves by our gender? How about we just see people as individuals for who they are and what they do, not what they are and who they do :P And while we're at it, why not include acceptance of race, faith, physical traits and neurodiversity into the mix? Imagine that. There's some intermediate sociology 201 for you. Just wait till you get to the advanced courses ;)
