Encyclopedia Misandria

While researching something else I happened to stumble upon the current Wikipedia entry for Misandry, which, to my surprise, and for the first time in its history, is a real-life, honest-to-god, factually accurate, fully-functional and informative encyclopedia entry. Imagine that.

This time last year it was a mess, ever since university 'Gender Studies' classes began giving extra credit to any student who spent time manipulating online resources to be 'more in line' with feminist dogma. Thankfully, a month or two ago some of the worst offenders were banned from Wikipedia and ordinary business began for as far as I know the first time.

This might well be just a bubble of sanity, and one which may not last, but the momentous nature of the moment makes me want to freeze it for future reference in either the dark, Orwellian age of totalitarian censorship or the free age of light and love towards which we are all borne.

A History of the Domestic Violence Movement

Must-see presentation by Erin Pizzey at the “Ideology to Inclusion” Conference, Sacramento, February 16th, 2008.

Erin begins with the early history of the domestic violence movement, and her efforts to open the first shelter for women and children in 1971. The early history of the feminist movement in England is discussed, and the ensuing battle between advocates who conceptualised domestic violence as a human and family issue rather than a gender issue, and those who used the movement as a means of funding and advancing a radial political ideology based on Marxist teaching. This presentation describes in detail the importance of this ideological split, and how the needs and wishes of women themselves have often been ignored. The presentation ends with a general descriptions of where we are now and suggestions for the future.
