Great time to start a blog

Its a great time to start a blog now. Not only is Blogger extremely easy and convenient to use, but the new version of it is gradually coming online, adding additional features, such as the ability to add category tags to your posts, and far greater control over the design of your template. I personally have run some test blogs on their new system and I loved it! Why haven't I switched over CT4M to the new system yet? Well, unfortunately because I host this site on my own domain, rather than an address at blogger.com they haven't yet been able to switch me over. But its going to be pretty soon now.

Also, if you do start a blog, you may want to try to make a little bit of money with it. I don't think its easy, but like anything, the more effort you put in the more likely you are to succeed. Anyway, you might like to check out this article.

The other good thing about blogger is that it enables you to very easily put up Google Adsense ads. You'll need to test these on your own particular blog to see whether they are worthwhile, but they could be a good way to earn a bit of money from your blogging. My impression is that they work best with a reasonably high traffic site on a niche subject area.

Anyway, there are plenty of benefits to having your own blog, such as being empowered by having an audience to express your ideas to, and also just having a way to regularly get things off your chest. I'm sure other 'men's issues' bloggers will agree that sometimes just typing out your frustration about the latest episode of misandry can be of great help in dealing with your anger!

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
