(794 posts)When I was young I was raped by a young woman many times. The rapes caused a lot of psychic and emotional trauma for me, but the few times I have brought it up so-called feminists have laughed at me a suggested that I had the rape coming to me because I am a man. Men get the same sort of double-standard from the law and friends and family when they come forward with these kinds of stories. In the early 90s I had a pretty scary breast cancer threat- after a complete masectomy we were able to find out that the tumor was benign. When I told my employer about the need to take off time for tests, I was teased and harrassed about the spectre of having breast cancer- many female co-workers laughed about it as well. This sort of treatment towards female victims of rape and breast cancer would be unconscionable. Men treat women with double standards as well- why do neofeminists insist these types of double standards dont exist.
The men's group ought to feature discussions about the best ways to work with other progressive groups to realize egalitarian solutions for our problems. There will always be neofeminists working hard on denying the truth about men and articulating treatsies on the evil of owning testicles. There is no difference between them and the teabaggers- they're just interested in legislating and supporting hatred for the other. For teabaggers it' democrats; for neofeminists it's straight males.
