More Forbes and divorce on TV

Feminists have been telling us for years that they don't need no man and now here is documentation of it. So it's puzzling why these women would be so upset.

Some conservative commentary on the hysteria.

What makes the Jones’s break-up so extraordinary is that they allowed it all to be captured by TV cameras.

Scottish Ladettes & the British bounder

Drink driving convictions for scots women have soared to record levels.

Scottish women are clearly drinking heavily to numb the pain of being putridly ugly!

A campaign is underway in China to find and exile a British man whose blog about his sexual antics with Shanghai women is causing rage throughout the country.

I was going to phone this man for an interview, but I ended up winging the wong number.

The truth about men, women and work

So basically this woman is not denying that career women make family life harder and are more likely to lead to divorce. So all she is doing is being sarcastic because she doesn't want men to be warned about the truths of a 2 career family. Its interesting how most of the women who have attacked the Forbes article have taken the stance that career women divorce their husbands or have affairs because the husbands are not giving them enough attention. But why should this be more likely to happen to career women than other women?

Equally, her remarks about women who don't prioritise careers somehow being mentally defective are extremely insulting to those women. Besides, many so-called career women don't exactly seem like Einsteins to me.

Anyway, whats the use in a man having high IQ children if he can't see them?

Ever since we've had a push towards women having 'careers', all we've seen is a massive increase in the cost of living in this country, a breakdown of marriage, and hence a breakdown of community. Home ownership is becoming a receeding dream for many young people today as the cost of mortgages has been able to increase massively thanks to '2 career' households, at the same time as demand for housing has increased due to divorce and family break-up.

The only real winners have been the Government and big business.

Greedy ex-banker

Cambridge graduate Polly Courtney claimed to have quit a high flying career in the City because of sexism - particularly her male colleagues' nights at a strip club. Strange then, that she admits that enjoying a spot of pole dancing herself

It's official: theres now more money in pole dancing than banking! LOL

But the real gold-mine that these modern women dream of exploiting is the bottomless fund of 'compensation' that now seems to exist:

A new recruit to the Royal Navy has been awarded nearly £200,000 after breaking her ankle on a 5ft jump she was ordered to make

£200,000 is about $350,000.

To update you on the 'Forbes incident':

A blog article response to it

*New article*: The man who says you'd be mad to marry a career girl

Forbes magazine: 'Don't marry career women'

Astonishingly, the website of Forbes magazine recently published an article, full of facts and figures, by Michael Noer entitled 'Don't marry career women'. Within a day the original layout of the article was taken down and it was squeezed next to a personal rant from a female member of the Forbes staff,a Ms Corcoran.

Ms Corcoran swung into action like one of those agents in the Matrix who comes in to deal with any Human who has understood too much for their own good. I would not be in the least surprised if Mr Noer is now being taken away for 're-education'. And I mean that seriously. He'll probably come out with some statement (akin to those produced by brain-washed hostages) saying how he is so sorry that he wrote the article, and he doesn't know what he was thinking, and he regrets it now. Then it will be announced that hes been sent on some kind of 'gender awareness' course.

Nevertheless, one must admire the audacity of this man to write the peice in the first place. How did it ever get online? Was the editor away ill that day? In the future, whole books will probably be written on this incident! lol Luckily I took a screen-shot of the original article, which I will upload to my site at some point.

Ms Corcoran's 'rebuttal' was nothing more than a personal rant with no facts or understanding of broad statistical trends. Female journalists have been getting away with this kind of subjective drivel for years; in effect dominating the whole arena of sexual debate, purely with their own feelings.

The ultimate irony here is that feminists and their career-women sisters like Ms Corcoran have invested YEARS in attacking marriage and in presenting careers and independence for women as the alternative. Now that someone stands up and points out that there is an incompatibility between career women and marriage, they become infuriated.

Seems they are basically saying: "Look, we want the right to force you men to change, we want the right to divorce you and ruin your lives, but we DON'T want you forewarned about it."

Life on Mars?

Possible signs of alien life have been found in a second Martian meteorite, it was reported today.

Scientists have discovered tiny tunnels in the rock that may have been bored by micro-organisms on Mars.

Exposing the corruption in the Massachusetts family courts

I am just one of the thousands of fathers who have been victimized by the system of organized crime in the Massachusetts family courts. This book exposes the motives, tactics, and hypocrisy that all fathers must endure. The book also details my specific case including the "spin off" corruption that resulted from my efforts to hold the racketeers in and outside of this kangaroo court system accountable. The book has been "banned" in Massachusetts for five months now by a judge who is criticized in the book

Second Life: A growing virtual world online

With thousands of bands now crowding the pages of MySpace, acts like Duran Duran and Suzanne Vega are turning to the online virtual world of Second Life to make themselves heard.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has experience with Second Life.

Men for sale

Jamaica has become the destination of choice for another kind of visitor: the female sex tourist.

Notice the self-deception of these women, some married, in the way that they explain away what they are doing, and are unable to admit it is prostitution. Their self-deception probably also extends to the ones who fail to take adequate protection against contracting STDs and to the fact that they assume these men are really in love with them and will want to remain in contact.

Such women who base their lives around feminist theory rather than the facts of life are similar to those who would claim it is "sexist" to say women in general can't drink as much as men. In their ideological pursuit of a non-existent level of equality, they will only end up hurting themselves, their futures and their families.

Pop tarts

"In the 1950s, women were supposed to just smile and stay in the kitchen." - the singer 'Pink'.

So, were you around in the 1950s then Pink? I suspect that if women behaved a little more nicely in the 1950s it was due to the fact that only several years before the men had been sent off to fight in WW2. Therefore this would have resulted in two things: 1, a smaller number of men available (due to the number who were killed in action), therefore more competition amongst women to bag a man, and 2, there just MAY have been (just MAY) some level of feeling that the men should have been treated nicely after the horrors that many of them had been through for their country.

After all, what man, after five years of war, would wish to return home to a vulgarian like 'Pink'?

On the same theme:

"Singer Nelly Furtado is rejecting her feminist past because it caused her to hate men.

According to Contactmusic.com, Furtado admits that she got involved with women's rights when she first became famous. But she now has a child with a 'secret boyfriend' and is a huge fan of guys.

She says: "I went through a feminist phase and read a lot of philosophical stuff. Some of the male-bashing brainwashed me for a bit so I stopped. I love men.""

Debate on sex differences

Why do men and women behave in different ways? Is it because there are physical differences between the male and female brain? The author of a new book on gender differences thinks so. What do you think? Is it nature or nurture that sets us apart?

Rantings Reloaded

A new interview with Thomas Ellis, author of 'Rantings of a Single Male: Losing Patience with Feminism, Political Correctness... and Basically Everything '

Darren: It’s been over a year now since your book was released, and our initial interview. I remember at that time, there weren’t any women you knew of who had actually read your book. That must have changed by now.

Tom: I’ve had a surprising amount of positive feedback from women, but they tend to be of a certain demographic – that is, they seem to be single mothers with sons who have finally been awakened to the anti-male biases in education and society as a whole. It’s a complete change of mindset for them.

Darren: So, now they find themselves in the protector role.

Tom: Right, and it’s the first time in their lives that they’ve had to consider anything resembling the male point of view, and that it might have some validity. They’re also very aware of the importance of fathers in children’s lives. You can tell the light has gone on, and they understand fathers are more than providers of sperm and money.

Darren: That’s quite ironic, that they have this appreciation for fathers, but are raising their sons alone.

Tom: Very ironic, and very tragic really. That’s apparently what it takes to get women to reconsider their attitudes toward men in general. Of course, the vast majority of women with sons are still trying to re-engineer them to be less aggressive and non-competitive. More feminine in general. I read recently that 10% of boys in the US are now on Ritalin.

Darren: What other comments did female readers have about The Rantings?

Tom: I always hear that it’s painful for women to read, because they see so much of themselves in it. Some have mentioned my description of women throwing themselves into eccentric religions. Others look back on their younger years and realize they fit my description of women as relationship fascists.

Darren: Could you expand on the term “relationship fascism” for me?

Tom: Sure. Girls grow up honing their manipulation skills and obsessing over relationship power dynamics. They become the princesses laying down demands and turn men into their servants. They enforce their will with an arsenal of female tactics that men have spent little time preparing for. The power they wield can become so extreme that it’s really an interpersonal dictatorship, which I call “relationship fascism.” Most women today expect this kind of absolute power in their relationships, even though it’s very destructive. Boys grow up learning never to hit or hurt the girls, and although girls rarely use physical violence as a threat against the boys, they still engage in passive-aggressive behavior to cause harm. No one has taught them to see this within themselves.

Darren: How about negative feedback? You must have gotten a lot of that from female readers as well.

Tom: When I first released the book, I expected obscene phone calls, angry emails, vandalism to my house, that kind of thing. I mentally prepared myself by thinking of the men in Iraq who face real danger. So what if I’m inconvenienced a little?

Darren: So, have you experienced any of that yourself?

Tom: Not yet. Apparently, women only engage in such behavior when I date them, or break up with them. Sure, I’ve gotten negative comments from women – that is, women who did not read more than a page or two- along the lines of, “How dare you write a book that does not worship women and validate all our views?” They immediately assign a set of values to me that have no bearing on reality.

Darren: Let me guess - the old “barefoot and pregnant” line.

Tom: Exactly, and I’m against “women’s rights,” or I’m anti-female. Just a few days ago a girl in her late twenties heard about my book, and told me that since “feminism” meant “equality for women,” I must be against that. I had to explain my view that “feminism” is really a crusade for female privilege that masquerades as equality. “Oh. Okay,” she said. Then it was right back to a discussion about movie star romances. And that’s typical. In general, women are not ready for this type of information.

Darren: I would imagine men are not only ready, they must thrive on it.

Tom: I’ve heard from lots of men who have discovered the book. University professors, soldiers in Iraq, recently divorced man. The book is not for everyone, but the response from male readers has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s mainly the stories that men relate to, and many of them say a lot of the same exact things have happened to them in their lives.

Darren: How did you pick out the cover, is there some meaning behind it?

Tom: Although The Rantings has lots of humor throughout, what I’ve laid out is the description of a huge tragedy – which is the continued decline of male/female relationships within the context of feminism. The humor contained in the book is really dark comedy, so I wanted a dark cover. Specifically, it is a reference to the story in Rant X – so it’s an illustration of the dark void I continue to live in.

Darren: How have sales been going?

Tom: Well, we’re not exactly talking Harry Potter numbers here, but for a self-published book it’s doing quite well. The total is over 1100 books now, which isn’t bad considering that the average self-published title sells around 50 copies.

Darren: Has that covered your expenses at least?

Tom: It’s funny, but a lot of people think I must be making lots of money by selling this book. The reality is, I just broke even a couple months ago - but I just ordered another print run, so that will put me in the hole again until next year. That’s not considering the time spent to write the book, just out-of-pocket expenses.

Darren: It sounds like quite an effort to write and produce a book. What do you hope will become of all this?

Tom: I really hope to expand the genre of men’s rights literature. I would like to see it become a wider literary movement. The genre does not have to limit itself to a bland statistical debate between competing PhDs. These issues affect all men regardless of their political or religious views. The damage feminism has caused is profound and personal. My book is the collective experience of one man. There are a thousand other stories to be told, and I hope other writers will step forward and offer their perspectives. Even if we can’t break into mainstream publishing, we can continue underground with self-publishing.
