As anyone not recently under a rock is aware, Dr. Greg Canning resigned his teaching position at James Cook University in protest of that university’s failure to investigate the activities of gender ideologue and pro-violence bigot, Betty McLellan. McLellan also has a teaching position with JCU, exposing her virulent ideas to many impressionable youth.
Dr. Canning’s complaints to the school’s administration were initially ignored, till he pressed the issue and was finally told (in so many words) that James Cook University is unconcerned with bigotry and sexually targeted violence, as long as it is only happening to men, male children and male fetuses.
Predictably, the media in Australia turned the story of his resignation over to the usual suspects, who promptly began to paint Dr. Canning as a misogynist who can’t handle a woman with an opinion. That the woman’s opinion in question happened to involve demonizing half the human race and supporting calls for mass violence doesn’t appear to matter.
I won’t bother with a point by point refutation of Tory Shepherd’s latest round of propaganda journalism. I have already done that here, and so has JtO, here. Our own Uncle Bern weighed in on it here.
The more important matter here is the continued attempts to create a red herring out of AVfM, intended for sale to the general public. As John pointed out in his article, Shepherd (or her editors) gave a subheading to her piece which read:
Hate site’s motto is ‘F***king their s**t up
Misuse of the transitive verb aside, and ignoring the fact that even when properly quoted it is not the site’s motto (which is “Take the Red Pill”), the use of that phrase in the sub-header was calculated to make AVfM appear to be a hate site. It is intended to make us look as though we have violent leanings; that we are a threat to the personal security of feminists, and indeed to women in general.
Their hope is that this puts us on the defensive and that it will send a convincing message to the public at large that we, and of course by association Dr. Canning, are dangerous.
On a slow day it might be fun to re-explain all this for the benefit of those who are entering this forum for the first time because of the lies told by Tory Shepherd, but I have a better idea. I have a personal, deeply personal message for her and for two others of her ilk associated with this “story.”
Tory Shepherd, I am here to fuck your shit up.
Betty McLellan, I am here to fuck your shit up.
Michael Flood, I am here to fuck your shit up.
And in case any of the three of you are as stupid as you sound, I mean it literally. I want your shit fucked up in a permanent and irreversible way. I want the harsh, unforgiving light of truth to shine on you and other hateful swine that spread bigotry and violence under the guise of advancing the cause of women. I want the public to see (which they can HERE) the hateful, pro-violence cult of monsters Betty McLellan supports at Radfem.com.
I want the public to see (which they can, HERE) the disgraceful nature of Tory Shepherd’s dishonest, yellow propagandizing, which she pawns off as journalism in order to protect advocates of violence and hatred.
I want the public to see (which they can, HERE) the outrageously deceptive and dishonest tactics of Michael Flood, who, after taking on the false identity an estranged father, gained access to the organization Fathers4Equality and sent abusive emails to Australian MP’s in their name. As is summarized on their website:
He then proceeded to misuse these facilities and send out offensive letters in the name of Fathers4Equality to every member of the Australian federal parliament, in an effort to discredit and undermine our efforts and reputation.
Do I want to fuck these peoples shit up? Oh yes, I certainly do. And it has already begun to happen. Just a very few years ago the men’s movement was sequestered away from even having a strong presence on the internet. We were a ragtag group of social renegades that mainly talked amongst ourselves because the rest of the world was caught headlong in a sweeping tide of feminist agitprop.
Fast forward a really short bit of time and we just witnessed a university professor, an esteemed medical doctor, who resigned his position in protest of what anyone can learn by clicking through the links provided in this article. We are also seeing a rapidly growing effort to attempt to shut us up, including the efforts of the SPLC, which you can read about here.
They are destined to fail.
This, and by that I mean the truth, is fucking their shit up. It is happening in the best possible way and all their powerless wailing and lies about FTSU meaning violence won’t stop it.
The growth of this movement depends, wholly and completely, on our ideas being exposed to rational people who value fairness and justice. We are now getting that exposure, and it is scaring the living shit out of the likes of McLellan, Shepherd and Flood.
That fear looks damned good on them.
For those men’s advocates who are always encouraging us to tiptoe around on eggshells because of what people may make of our ideas, or how they will twist our words, this should be a lesson to you.
Nowhere is there a more upstanding, decent and productive member of the human community than Greg Canning. I have never read a word of his that was not thoughtful, intellectually diligent and honest. He resigned a prestigious post, making a significant personal sacrifice in order to call attention to a very serious problem at James Cook University and academe in general. He did so with spotless decorum, befitting a human being of his caliber.
His reward was to be called a woman hater and a whiner, and of course to have all of his concerns totally brushed aside…for the time being. If they didn’t lift and twist something from AVfM to use against him, they would have lifted and twisted elsewhere. It’s what they do.
Folks, it does not matter much whether we push the envelope to the edge or whether we take painstaking care to reach the ridiculously unreachable goal of speaking hard truths while offending no one. We are dealing with liars and bigots. They have no sense of honor or decency. When I call Michael Flood a sociopathic pig, it is not an adolescent ad hominem used in the absence of substance, but an unavoidable conclusion rooted in the reality of his conduct as a human being. All you have to do is read about him.
We are not compelled to play nice with these hateful ideologues any more than we would feel compelled to politely discuss race relations with the Ku Klux Klan, or debate reproductive rights with people who bomb abortion clinics.
Our one and only job is to fuck their shit up; to make them suffer the pain of truth, and to keep doing it till they have no place to hide.
We are making progress. We see it in Radfem’s ouster from Conway Hall. We see it in the emergence of a never before seen scrutiny of VAWA and most importantly in the fact that men are starting to come out of the closet as human beings, taking a public stand against the hatred that has come to be a social norm.
The only thing we can do wrong at this point is change. If anything, we will benefit from becoming even more intense; more unyielding.
All we have to do is fuck their shit up, then wake up tomorrow and do it again. They are powerless to stop it.
