Glenn's Cult?: Womanist Musings

January 3, 2009

More porky and he can't even be creative enough to think of something that hasn't been done yet

Well I am sure he will claim - oh this is a calendar and Sacks targeted the shirts, but whatever. He seems to forget that women (and subsequently young girls) are targeted by men's 'pin-up' calendars and have been so targeted since the beginning of time. While this calendar is obviously something that shouldn't exist (the boy calendar), women and females have been targeted for many decades by the pin-up calendar. Why are these still around? Why is there no whining and crying about females being victimized by pin-up calendars by the MRA?

I can tell ya why - don't take a rocket scientist either :-)

Men 'LIKE' the pin-up calendars - they get their jollies looking at naked or subservient females, so these calendars will NEVER go away. And indeed, if we look at the pro-rated portion of male bashing or victimizing calendars versus the portion of female victimizing calendars - we would see that females are the victims of this at an extremely higher rate than males. And sadly, nobody will say a dam word about female victims - good ol boy's club at work there folks.

See this link (click here) for more info on female degrading calendars. These are more than just 'naked women' though. These are pure abuse in its finest form. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!! Extreme photos - not meant for work environment. Not meant for viewing around children either.

Our first award!!!!

We received this award from a wonderful blog Rights4Mothers and we are honored justice4mothers chose us as one of the 5 to receive this great award! This is a great way for us bloggers to visit other great sites and get visitors to our own! Hat’s off to Rights4Mothers, a savvy great blog! And to the scholastic scribe!

So we too shall dish it out in turn:

There are conditions attached to the Award, however. The rules are simple:
1. Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy Friends.
2. Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author and the name of the blog from whom he/she has received The Award.
3. Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to this Post, which explains The Award.
4. Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit this post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!
5. Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.

Now, our choices for our fave five:

1. Womanist Musings - Renee took an extreme amount of flack from all the MRA and FR loonies and for that I raise my glass and toast her. Kudos Renee!!

2. Fathers Rights Movement Naked - This is another site which exposes the Father's Rights movement in all of their glory. Keep writing and sharing!!

3. Alas! A Blog - I am most interested in Ampersand and his thoughts. He nails the FR movement and issues about domestic violence and does it in a classy and tactful way. Please keep it coming A!!!

4. Date And Domestic Violence Victims Anonymous (DADVVA) - I just found this site and must say I am very impressed. I look forward to many a night reading the comments and thoughts on this site.

5. Drum roll!!!!! My last fave is Kansans For Judicial Accountability - This site explores all the wrongs committed by Kansas judges in all courts. Does a great job of keeping these judges in line and hope to see the need for this blog to NOT exist - simply because these judges will start doing the right thing - like protecting victims of domestic violence and child abuse. We can hope right?

WARNING!!!!!!

WARNING!!!!
I must warn all who come to this blog about clicking any links I provide. Unless I state this is a safe website you should take precautions in visiting any site listed as an MRA/FR site. To do so one could open up oneself to being stalked, hunted down, victimized, and even in worst case scenario - assaulted in real life or even killed. The men (and sometimes women) who post on the MRA/FR sites can be dangerous. One nly needs to read the venom spewing from their moouth to see evidence of that. I also post this due to the recent blogs and forums I have discovered over the last few weeks. These will slowly be added to the Cult Wall Of Shame. Please take adequate precaution when visiting these sites.

Fair Use Doctrine

Section 107 of the Copyright Act, entitled, "Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use," is the statutory codification of the fair use doctrine. This judicially developed concept strives to balance the public's need to know and be informed against authors' incentives to create. The copyright law contemplates that fair use of a copyrighted work without permission shall be for purposes such as (1) criticism and comment, (2) parody and satire, (3) scholarship and research, (4) news reporting and (5) teaching, and that such fair use will not result in the infringement of a copyrighted work. As one may expect, authors and publishers usually take a restrictive view of the fair use doctrine, while users of copyrighted materials generally take a more expansive view.

Thank you too!!!!

I am now friends on a message board with a wonderful man. And you all thought we hated men :-) We despise abusive controlling men and women. We like men and women who are decent, honest, and caring. I will say no more as I do not want to ruin this. But those who fight this same fight, keep going!!! We are being seen and our message is getting out there.

Thank you. And thank you for the important work that you do. It gets my dander stirred up when little men hide behind a pen or a computer and spew out fear, hate and stuff that they think makes them look like "real men" but in fact exposes them for the big bullies that they really are. My father and mother are both deceased. But my dad treated my mother the way every man should treat his wife. She was the Queen in our home and he doted on her like she was still his sweetheart until the day she died at age 84. Abraham Lincoln once said, "The greatest gift a father can give to his children is to love their mother." So many men are unhappy with their own lives and they blame women. That way they don't have to accept responsibility for their own shortcomings. Sad. Pathetic. Again, thank you for your very good and important work.

And thank you for giving us hope as well - the hope that there are good and decent people out there - both men and women.

My blog, My rules.....

I would like to welcome everyone who has arrived here - no matter the road you traveled. I only have some very simple rules. Please try to keep your comments clean (I am a mom and as such I do not like extreme vulgar language). I despise the "c" word so it will never be published. Otherwise I will be very lax as I want this site to be a release to those of you who have an issue with the MRAs in general and Sacks and his followers in particular.

I must also slide this little disclaimer in here too (just to protect myself from those pesky little creatures called lawyers and those MRAs who would think they will file a lawsuit or something silly like that against me). I am using YOUR WORDS on this site as well as publishing my opinion of those words. Nothing more, nothing less. I am "not" responsible for comments made by others on my site and if MRAs can behave then they might very well be allowed to post here. Like I said, this is intended to be a release for the women who have been attacked on various sites online to have a little comic break from these constant attacks.

I am posting this blog and all of my comments as a naturally born citizen of the United States and am exercising my right to free speech.

I must also caution my followers and posters against posting any identifying information. This is for your own safety, as I foresee this blog quickly becoming a very hated tool against MRAs who abuse and those who assist them. I mus also make one additional rule concerning posting other people's (such as our exes) personal information. I have been through a very nasty divorce and I know how our exes can react. As such I must make it a number one rule, as much pleasure it would give us, against posting any information which could identify our exes. First names (or initials if the name is uncommon) is fine but no last names. This will be enforced on this blog, unlike "other blogs."
