Words are not fists: some thoughts on how men work to defuse feminist anger.

What was very interesting for me was that I came to this blog from a post entitled
My thoughts on Feminism (as I now head for cover)
I laughed so hard I thought I'd split.

I chopped this to shit to try to get the main premise in under 1000. There's tons more food for thought at the site.

clipped from www.amptoons.com In this post, he writes about how the men speak in his women’s studies class: …two of the guys did something that I see over and over again from men in women’s studies classes. They prefaced their remarks by joking “I know I’m going to get killed for saying this, but…” One of them, even pretended to rise from his desk to position himself by the door, saying that “Once I say this, I know I’m going to have to make a run for it.” Most of the women laughed indulgently, and I even found myself grinning along. his behavior reflects two things: men’s genuine fear of being challenged and confronted, and the persistence of the stereotype of feminists as being aggressive “man-bashers.” no man is in any real physical danger from feminists Women are regularly beaten and raped but I know of no instance where a man found himself a victim of violence for making a sexist remark in a college feminist setting! Male-bashing” doesn’t literally happen doesn’t stop men from using fear of violence point about feminists
