Men's group says feminism now infringing on their rights

It’s not easy being an unreconstructed bloke these days. Spare a thought for René Kuhn, former president of the right-wing Swiss People’s Party in Lucerne. He’s the one made headlines a while back for saying Swiss women are frumpy and don’t wear enough make-up.

Now he’s saying feminism is an attack on men’s rights and he’s having to hold a planned anti-feminism meeting in secret. The meeting was due to be held in the canton of Zurich, in Uitikon, but after protests and a paint attack on the town’s community hall this week, the venue pulled out of hosting the meeting. WRS’s Jo Fahy reports:

The anti-feminist meeting’s organisers declined to go on air but confirmed they’ve employed a private security firm and will only inform conference attendees of the event’s new location.

I completely agree with the title of the article. It is true, because of so called equality, equal rights, men are becoming marganilised. I am not surprised that so many men leave their family after having children. Because they have no quality time with the newborn and mother, men become isolated, detached. It is also vitaly important for men to form a bond with their child, consequently men should spend just as much time bonding with a newborn as does its mother. If the leave is 3 months, why don’t both partners share the leave equally? http://worldradio.ch/wrs/news/switzerland/push-for-more-maternity-leave-getting-stronger.shtml?21552

Also, employment, when searching for a job, one reason why I didn’t get a job was because, I was a man. There are employment agencies which only help women. I agree that women should also do the military and civil service. Switzerland has a long way to go.

A group of men decide to get together and discuss their rights and feminist groups protest? Even worse, their vandalizing public property? When are people going to wake up and realize feminism is a hate movement?

To the reporter to tried to balance opinions from both groups may I suggest some more objective research. She might start with Undressing Feminism by Ellen Klien, Professing Feminism by Patia and Koertge or Who Stole Feminism? by Hoff Sommers. Steve Moxon’s The Woman Racket is probably the best and most readable expose of the evil feminist agenda. Pulitzer prize winning columnist Kathleen Parker’s Save the Males is the funniest. We need reporters who can cut through retarded reverse-sexist nonsense so we can see where the facts (rather than feminist fantasies) lie.

As Ted said: “Women should also do the military and civil service”. I will add : “And finish to work at 65 too !”. Plus it is not specially true that they are earning less than men too, it happens the contrary also. Stop to the sexism ! Back to the femininity please !

Then back to the real masculinity too - support the wife and the child like the men did in the old days!

In the old days the man got the kid to raise and no child support or alimony from the woman to do it.

Should be that whoever gets the kid pays for the kid.

If neither wants to pay put the kid up for adoption.

Men seem to be perfectly capable of raising a child on their own with no money needed from anyone.

Give the men the child and quit letting woman use children as a weapon against men.

Men don’t need child support or alimony from woman we just need the ability to raise our children.
