Ladies Battling the Looneys - Week in Review #3

ZEG

Plenty of turmoil this week but we are still battling on with our ladies continuing to gain further ground and step up to new adventures.

The week began with many of us on the rebound after the Anti-Feminism Australia Facebook Page was shutdown last weekend. As the dust settled we still had the closed group and have continued to share information, thoughts and feelings there with some level of sanctuary. But Feminists are a relentless and conniving lot and continue to infiltrate in order to bring down the group from within. It's quite astonishing how threatened they are of an opposing view. If their view was a valid one, they would simply have to raise the argument when under threat. But as their movement is based on lies and misinformation and all sorts of other covert action, they see silencing the opposition as the only way to stay relevant.

I was quite outraged by the double standards of Facebook and so I contacted a couple of the ladies to see if they could look into it to see if there was anything they could dig up. Bettina Arndt was also amazed by the "horrendous" actions of Facebook. We constantly get barraged by the vitriol from all the Feminist pages and groups yet one false move and the page is gone for good. Corrine Barraclough was also quick to respond and was keen to do some digging around on it. While I knew there was nothing that could probably be done about this one, it got me thinking about what we need to do in order to step up our capabilities to counter these attacks by feminists. They are well co-ordinated and quick to mobilise en masse whenever their ideology is threatened or under attack. They have a clear leader in Clementine Ford here in Australia, (pictured above in Zeg's cartoon for Mark Latham's Outsiders Lefty Looney of the Week) and they have been around long enough to have well established communication networks on Facebook and Twitter to rally very quickly in big numbers. A clear example of this was when the Anti-Feminist page took on a Feminist bookstore promoting Ford's book. Over 400 Anti-feminists left 1-star reviews on the stores Facebook page to protest against the book and the response from the Feminists was overwhelming. In almost no time at all they swooped onto the Facebook page giving 5-star reviews and massed over 5000 entries. We need to learn from these experiences to set our future long-term goal posts. We need to think of ways to get a similar base number of people together and create a simple and effective method to communicate and fight fire with fire. It is no good having lone wolf Anti-feminists taking on a group of man-hating Feminists if there isn't a 'call to arms' button available to get support from our own team.

I certainly could have used that earlier this week when, after raising a very valid point on Julia Gillard's Twitter feed, I was swooped upon by the witches and warlocks on broomsticks. I wasn't fazed by the attack as I fully expected it and knew what it would entail, however it would have been delightful to alert my own army and return fire en masse. There is even a Twitter identity called TakeDownMRAs - perhaps that is the answer, we all need to follow our own TakeDownFeminazis so that we can tag each other into an attack and alert the masses via an account like this.

Still with Gillard, it was great to see that Corrine is still sticking it to her today for her ridiculous comments as head of Beyond Blue. Gillard is allowing her Feminist ideology to influence her management at the moment and this was clear in her tweet about the suicide rate. "8 Aussies suicide every day". Now if you criticise this you are easily brought down by the statement 'She should care about all Aussies', but when the suicides are mostly men to the figure of 3 to 1, you should definitely be asking why are men three times as likely to suicide and what are you doing about it. They tell us they know about it, they commissioned a study, and mostly the belief is that it is being male itself that makes it such a problem. Feminists believe it is the 'patriarchy' and 'toxic masculinity' to blame. But none can really explain what the hell that actually means, as it's all speculative. The 'patriarchy' is a construct of Feminism that is largely rejected by Anti-feminists and the same can be said about toxic masculinity. None the less, even if the cause is uncertain, then surely there would still be services to help this obvious imbalanced statistic. But there are not.

By the way, don't forget to support Bettina Arndt at Patreon, there is a permanent link on my page to the right.

Hats Off to the Ladies, it's not an easy road but the destination is worth it.
