The tale of two cities

Feminists want many men to examine their beliefs about women. I, for one, k=
now very well why I believe what I believe.

I spent the first 12 years of my life in Russia. In that country, there are=
 two major influences on this matter. One is the traditional Russian influe=
nce, which is very brutal and misogynistic. The other are the writers, poet=
s and intellectuals who fought this influence and spoke in favour of love.

I took after the second influence. It was a very difficult and dangerous po=
sition to be in. It cost me hugely at psychological level. I had good will =
toward women, and I maintained it in face of very nasty and very powerful i=
nterests. Only to have American feminists portray me as a misogynist and tr=
eat me as the lowest form of life.

The real misogynists are pissing themselves laughing. Here is someone who o=
therwise would be allied with feminism, but whom feminists have chosen to d=
emonize. If the feminists are that foolish, they have no chance of winning =
any social debate.

One powerful constituency in favor of feminism has been the idealistic inte=
llectuals in the mode of John Stuart Mill. These men detested seeing women =
being treated in vicious and ugly manner, and they wanted to help women fig=
ht the men who behaved in that way. When women behave in vicious and ugly m=
anner themselves, they alienate this constituency. It makes no sense to be =
in favor of women just because they are women. It makes sense to be in favo=
r of people =E2=80=93 both women and men - who choose to be good to others =
and against people who treat other people like dirt. And when women themsel=
ves treat people like dirt, they lose the support of people who come from i=
dealistic or ethical considerations.

At this point in time, we have the Tale Of Two Cities scenario. In one city=
, vicious women maliciously mistreat men who have goodwill to women. In the=
 other city, violent thugs brutally mistreat women who have goodwill to men=
. The two feed into each other. The misconduct of each side gets used by th=
e other side to claim that the other gender is bad and worthy of mistreatme=
nt. The two have neither the guts nor the power to touch one another. Inste=
ad they abuse, respectively, the men and the women who have done the least =
to contribute to either problem.

It is much easier to attack people who bear you good will than it does to a=
ttack people who bear you real ill will. I have seen these feminists do abs=
olutely nothing to confront real misogynists such as Ayatollah, Michael Mur=
phy or Eminem. It=E2=80=99s easier to yell at me than it is to confront rea=
l enemies.

What we see here is cowardice and hypocrisy. And that discredits the women=
=E2=80=99s cause.
