Several lies that some women tell about the women's movement are countered by 'Percy' from Antimisandry.com.
The woman in this case, Judith (Judy) Woods, is reviewing Susan Pinker's book The Sexual Paradox.
Judy comments that the women on the BBC 1 television series The Apprentice are an "abberation", and how the women featured in the show are different than the men.
It seems what the ladies do is substitute the word "man" for "woman" and then use that to "pretend" they are like a Man. It will be up to us men to reverse this trend and to "set things right again".

Inflated Housing Prices Caused By "Dual Income" Families
I just finished reading a blog post titled The Problem With Women In The Workplace:
In other words men, what they are saying is that the $4,000 - $7,000 6-cylinder Ford, Chevrolet, or Pontiac car you could afford in the early- mid-1980s and be generally happy with paying for it through your job and having your wife stay at home to look after the kids, has turned into the $35,000 SUV behemoth Excursion by the mid- late-1990s.
It is also precisely why the ``housing boom`` — created skyrocketing values of homes during the past 10 years in the first place. Because of dual income`` families. But now there is a possible real estate crash caused by something and we might not know for several years in hindsight what caused that.
At around the same time in the 1990s there was the trend of more women entering the workforce and in the government clerical jobs, as reported by Statistics Canada. The CPA the report refers to is Core Public Administration. To quote:
Alongside the above trends there was more suburbanization at the edge of the city. More people commuting further and further to their jobs using more fuel. Public transit ridership took a nosedive, unless you were lucky enough to have rapid transit like a new or expanded LRT or subway line, you were facing a very lengthy commute indeed.
And just how was the public sold on the "need" for an SUV? Well people who bought them "sit higher up" in the vehicle, so it seems more "safe". Baloney. Just look at all the car accidents and tip overs that SUVs had. No, to reiterate, the reason why SUVs were created in the first place was so that it would become prohibitively expensive for the guy to afford by himself. He "needs" his wife to work full-time.
And then of course there are the families who break up (divorce is now more than 50% of marriages)... She is probably more likely to get the car/SUV.
So men, what are we going to do to fix this problem that was created in the mid-90s?
Ladies, do you really need that large(r) vehicle? Do you really need a bigger house? Another cell phone? Or can you get by with something smaller, and instead of a cell phone, going back to wired communications?
To God be the Glory.
Because not only was feminism a dismal failure, but a quantified disaster. Little known fact: Because of women entering the workplace en masse in the 1980’s, the price of homes and vehicles EXPLODED. Why? Because people could charge more for homes and vehicles because working women created the dual income household. No one is going to ask 250K for a home if no one can afford it. So now women are forced to work, whether they want to or not, victims of the economy they created; 95% of them stuck in low paying, dead-end jobs. Most men can no longer earn enough for a woman to stay at home because of the now diluted workplace… over crowded by women.
In other words men, what they are saying is that the $4,000 - $7,000 6-cylinder Ford, Chevrolet, or Pontiac car you could afford in the early- mid-1980s and be generally happy with paying for it through your job and having your wife stay at home to look after the kids, has turned into the $35,000 SUV behemoth Excursion by the mid- late-1990s.

At around the same time in the 1990s there was the trend of more women entering the workforce and in the government clerical jobs, as reported by Statistics Canada. The CPA the report refers to is Core Public Administration. To quote:
Women gaining ground in the CPA
The proportion of women within the CPA increased continuously from 1995 to 2006. In fact, since 1999, women have outnumbered men within the CPA.
Men still outnumber women in the workplace. However, the gap between the proportion of employed men and employed women has been slowly narrowing.
In 1995, nearly 46% of employed Canadians were women. By 2006, this proportion had grown to over 47%.
In contrast, in 2006, women accounted for the majority (54%) of all CPA employees, up from only 46% in 1995.
Between 1995 and 1997, more men than women left the CPA. Since 1998, this situation has reversed, and more women have been leaving the CPA.
However, during the 11-year period, there were continuously more female than male employees heading into the CPA.
Alongside the above trends there was more suburbanization at the edge of the city. More people commuting further and further to their jobs using more fuel. Public transit ridership took a nosedive, unless you were lucky enough to have rapid transit like a new or expanded LRT or subway line, you were facing a very lengthy commute indeed.

A Day for Men
Today is the United Nations sponsored International Women's Day.... Whoopdee doo!
Over the past 40 years women have been advancing and advancing until the current decade we are living in, the 2000s, they have surpassed us. Men are now considered second class citizens.
Canada has an International Day of Men, on November 25th, but it takes place when the snow begins to fly, and when the temperatures start to dip below freezing. We should move the Day to later in the Spring.
To make people aware of our oppression, of our hardships, our medical conditions, and the issues having to do solely about men.
It doesn't have to be adjacent to International Women's Day, March 8th.... It can be in April, May, or June... It would be nice if it could take place during the warmer weather because it would mobilize more of use to maybe take part in a march to the Legislature or something like that.
Here's two resources to get us started on that project. Perhaps in the next 3 or 4 years we can reach the goal of having our own Day of Action.

Being Reverent
This week at Church, our priest made an announcement that Catholic Church policy, or at the Diocesan level, has changed. Apparently a newsletter was sent out to Parishioners in December 2007 titled Toward a Full, Conscious and Active Participation, it states:
Also, after the Lamb of God prayer, before the Priest says ... I will kneel because this is also being reverent to the Holy Trinity.
People are so much like lemmings though. Most will do as you tell them to. I am however built a bit different I guess, thank God. After all, how often do we kneel in everyday life? Not very often. We mainly stand and sit. The act of kneeling is special. It is mainly reserved when we are in taking part in a church Mass or a service. Basically through the act of kneeling we are admitting that God himself is the higher being and that we fall prostate to Him.
So when the Catholic Church, or the Winnipeg Archdiocese puts out a new policy where we are to stand instead, that rings alarm bells, and makes me question just where these new policies are coming from?
What is the root of this change in policy? Who is the one who suggested the change? I don't think that it is the Pope, since he is too traditional for that kind of thing...
I need to find out more about this and hopefully in the next while I will have an answer... Perhaps an e-mail or letter to the Pope is in order here.
As the worshipping assembly processes together in revernce and song, the food that is shared, is changing and transforming. Standing together until the last person has been fed, the assembly is transformed from individualism into one body.
Once the communion procession is completed the entire assembly kneels or sits to share in a moment of silence and thanksgiving.
- Stand in line for communion
- Music was sung or not
- Receive communion and (optionally) the blood of Christ
- Walk back to your pew
- Kneel in silent prayer for a bit, length of time up to the parishioner -- could be 30 seconds to 2 or 3 minutes or more.
- After we kneel and say our communion prayer, we are to stand up and wait for the last of the communicants in line to finish.
- The priest washes the challice and puts away the cup and other communion related items.
- ... (the end of the Mass)
