Fighting Sexism With Cross-Stitched Man-Hating
Welcome to openly toxic feminism.
Hayley Krischer writes at Salon of "Stitch 'n Bitch" knitting groups:
The misandry message has evolved in the form of arts and crafts. Check Etsy for the word misandry and you'll find super-cute pom-pom knit hats with "misandry" emblazoned between rows of hearts. You'll also find lavender and white heart-shaped misandry hair barrettes, a plastic misandry necklace and a misandry-adorned heart-shaped felt brooch with beads.
Oh, but it's ironic, they protest. That is, except when it's not:
There are women who unapologetically hate men. Scrolling through Instagram the other day, I noticed an author whose work I admire wearing a misandry t-shirt. She suggested it should be a "staff uniform" for her magazine. When I asked her via email if the t-shirt was ironic, she wrote back saying, "To me, there's nothing ironic about misandry. I really do hate men. A lot."
Who hates an entire sex of people? Pretty sick. And typically, whether from a man or a woman, I find this sort of hatred a sign that somebody got together with the wrong person and then, rather than being accountable for choosing badly, decided to just deem the entire sex bad.
Back to the subject of the piece, women used to demand equality. Many who call themselves feminists have now become a toxic force in our society, quashing free speech, deeming rational thought a form of discrimination, and institutionalizing discrimination against men...all in the name of "equality."
Meanwhile, if men so much as tell a dirty joke while seated behind a woman who's offended, she runs off and tattles on them. One of them reportedly lost his job -- possibly over this.
Isnt this more immature battle of the sexes stuff? A la grade school flirtation? As in "boys are rotten made out of cotton girls are dandy made out of candy"? Honestly this reads along the same lines as women in pigtails sucking lollipops than any kind of real political statement

According to a study of relationships that engage in nonreciprocal violence, a whopping 70% are perpetrated by women. So basically that means that girls are beating up their BFs and husbands and the dudes aren't fighting back. With Amy Winehouse busting open a can of whupass on her husband last week, we decided to conduct an informal survey of the Jezebels to see who's gotten violent with their men. After reviewing the answers, let's just say that it'd be wise to never ever fuck with us.
One Jezebel got into it with a dude while they were breaking up, while another Jez went nuts on her guy and began violently shoving him. One of your editors heard her boyfriend flirting on the phone with another girl, so she slapped the phone out of his hands and hit him in the face and neck... "partially open handed." Another editor slapped a guy when "he told me he thought he had breast cancer." (Okay, that one made us laugh really hard.) And lastly, one Jez punched a steady in the face and broke his glasses. He had discovered a sex story she was writing about another dude on her laptop, so he picked it up and threw it. And that's when she socked him. He was, uh, totally asking for it.

The good about that particular story (the dirty joke): The woman, Adria Richards, who made such a big deal about the joke was fired as a result.
She made a decision to go ballistic about a private joke made between two guys, which had nothing to do with her. She was at that conference to create good publicity for her company - a task at which she spectacularly failed. Kudos to her company for having the balls to put her on the street.
By the way, I find it funny that so many news articles refer to her as a developer. She is trained as a tech-support type. She briefly did some fairly simple sys-admin work, a field which she quickly left. She moved on to giving seminars about SEO, WordPress, and other simple topics that don't need seminars. From there, she moved into marketing.
This information all comes from her public LinkedIn profile, where she surely presents herself in the best possible light. To any tech type, this reads very simply: Talks a good line, but technically useless.
She appears to be a classic diversity hire. You can't really use her, so you put her in marketing, and hope she doesn't say anything too embarrassing. Which is exactly what she did do; hence her current status as unemployed.
p.s. You'll enjoy this entry in her resume: "Deployed on TSA project to support NCS Pearson's on-site testing centers for the hiring of Homeland Security Airport screeners."

Consider if the tables were turned. Women make men lose their jobs when they say things in lunch conversation that they don't like. To say anything against women -- even jokingly -- is a cardinal crime.

Your last couple of paragraphs pretty much sum up what it was like when I was married. A microcosm of the larger authoritarian feminist app.
Canvasback at November 24, 2013 7:29 AM
This is a good example of how some Feminists, consciously or not, rely on feminine entitlement and the expectation that women lack agency.
Though they'll tell you that they live in a misogynistic hell world replete with oppression and violence towards women, they obviously don't expect to be held accountable for their behavior. There is a glaring contradiction between their stated beliefs and their actions.
A friend of mine calls this Princess Feminism and she has a relatively well developed pet theory that equity Feminism has become subordinated to a sort of therapeutic Feminism that's driven by narcissism and the desire for unconditional positive regard. In line w/ Amy's observation, the motive for these women is to regulate and control their personal relationships, and they justify this desire by aggrandizing their motives.
Umberto at November 24, 2013 8:19 AM
Over the course of some 20,000 years of civilization, the stereotype of the irrational woman unable to control herself or her behavior or her emotions, has been ingrained in cultures from Europe to Asia to North & South America, and Africa, where we find civilization, we find this belief to one degree or another.
The rise of feminism was basically women saying, 'we CAN be grownup, we CAN be rational, we CAN be logical and we CAN control ourselves...'
Now the last few decades women calling themselves feminists have been going ape shit trying to prove the founders of feminism absolutely wrong.
I am offended- I can't control my emotions and will break down if I hear things I don't like, please punish that man
Its ok to hit men- I'm so weak physically that it doesn't matter, and if I do hurt him, well I'm not responsible because I can't be expected to control myself since I'm a woman
I demand time off for mom stuff- I can't make decisions for myself about whats important, so I need special accommodation so I don't have to make grown up sacrifices
I hate men- I made some bad relationship choices, so obviously I shouldn't have had to make choices, its men's fault for letting me make choices in the first place.
We need to hire more women to increase workplace diversity- We aren't useful on the job, we can't produce, and we're not an asset, so don't hire on that basis, hire us as posters so we don't have to do any real work.
---------------
I've been accused of misogyny more times than I can count...but I've also been the man relied upon by some of those same accusers, to escort them back to their quarters at night.
I don't hate women, I just have a realistic view of them. Fact is, not all women fit into the Jezebel misandry category, and not all feminists are raving lunatics.
But there is a single overarching failure within the female population that is so constant that it is all but undeniable.
Women rarely, if ever, police their own.
Men are expected to do so, and the failure to do so garners widespread condemnation. If a man is beating his wife, men used to be expected to kick his ass, today, they're at least expected to intervene.
If a man is hurting a woman in any way, action from men is not just expected, it is demanded, and when a man speaks with violence or harshly to a woman, or in the presence of one, other men are expected to remind him of his manners.
But the reverse is not expected of women, this is how that kind of misandry is able to spread. Women will openly hate upon men and rarely if ever be called out, and if they are, it will almost never be from another woman. Standing up to another woman's bigotry is not something many women are willing to do, the why of this is up for debate, but the lack of this pushback in great strength is not. Not reasonably anyway.
Feminism, whatever its original intent, was coopted by the fanatics, with the silent complicity of the majority of the rest of the female sex.
Do you know the worst part about it? Not the hatred of men by women, that isn't even close.
The worst part about it is what will happen when in greater and greater numbers, men begin to push BACK in law, in culture, in expectation. Every year the numbers of men that I personally know who lose all trust in the women in their lives, grows. They stop trusting girlfriends or wives because of false allegations, cheating, or violence, they stop trusting their female friends because those use them for resources or support in time of need. I have seen this to many times to count, and while it may be true that men do not feel or express feelings in the way that women do...they are nonetheless present. The culture of mistrust that is growing within the male population will have a profound impact over the years to come, just what that will be, I do not know, but I would not wish to be a 'Jezebel' employee at that time.

Stich N Bitch is something I remember as far back as my 1st tour in Antarctica in mid 90s, and was as popular as ever when I returned in 2004-2008. I did take note that the attendees/promoters tended to have anti-male views, which were often shown by their comments fobbed off as "jokes."
Dennis Carey at November 24, 2013 11:48 PM
As a slightly unrelated note to the "stitch and bitch" comment above, you have never met a group of more easily offended, shrill, power tripping women than the ones on facebook cross stitching groups. I belong to a few as I am an avid stitcher and enjoy sharing the photos. Make one critical comment or fail to punctuate a sarcastic remark with a smiley face and it's all "YOU'RE ATTACKING ME!" Flaming, flouncing and passive aggressive whining about other stitchers. "Bullying" has become the new catchphrase on the internet.
Katie at November 25, 2013 4:19 AM
Isn't this a good thing. The more this brand of feminism alienates everyone one else the more they isolate themselves. One notices this in the fact that fewer and fear women call themselves feminists.
It has the effect of also removing them from the gene pool thereby eventually removing their ideas as well.
I want them to be as loud as possible.

Gordon at November 25, 2013 7:33 AM
There’s a real world experiment from history where the number of men in a society sharply declined leaving women as a super majority. If a world without men could ever make women happy, this was it.
Nearly an entire generation of marriage age men in France were wiped out in World War I. The women of the time didn’t find this to be a good thing.

@Robert "I am offended- I can't control my emotions and will break down if I hear things I don't like, please punish that man"
MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins famously said she felt physically ill as a result of listening to Summers’ speech and had to leave the room.
And yes, that man was punished, even though he spoke the truth.

Perhaps these women are doing us men a favor. By using the word "misandry" in this way, and by identifying themselves with the concept, they help us to know which women to avoid entirely. It's a kind of self-sorting behavior.
Sloan at November 25, 2013 8:03 AM

willis at November 25, 2013 8:24 AM
Misandry has been institutionalized in the sexual harassment policy of every organization. When have you ever heard of a woman being fired for harassment? It's only men who get fired or, even more common, get run through the HR gauntlet for willfully misunderstood remarks or flatly false accusations. The harassment policies are only applied to men, even though women are the foremost harassers of women.

Alan at November 25, 2013 9:10 AM
Hi Amy,
But in a larger sense, isn't this at its core, an indication of the truly distorted (and perhaps its not an overstatement to say "poisonous") state of our top down culture. "Culture" is a tricky label, since it is itself too subject to convenient framing, but here I am thinking a bit about the wonderfully poignant expression "radical chic" ala Wolfe.
Culture in that respect, is a very real and tangible thing, and it is the shared phenomenon that for example, either encourages or constrains the nurturing of opinions, and their conveyance "publicly".
In this case, just consider that the admired author not only feels comfortable with such an objectively hateful and bigoted position (to the point of being ABSOLUTELY the very thing that she and her ilk would say they so "innately" are not... being the very epitome of "tolerance" and "diversity" loving people et al), she feels just super in blurting it out. Indeed, that "a lot", at the end, quite perversely, no doubt makes her feel even more "progressive" and free thinking. In fact I daresay it credentials her within the likewise perverse cultural framework she is ensconced in.
This is why I say it is an issue of culture, and one where we need to understand what we mean by "Culture" in SOME sort of shared definition. Once you have this "common sense" (another expression that not surprisingly, many in her mindset would like to hang everything from "racist" to "ignorant" on) definition, it is easy to see where she springs from is twisted and pathetic.
But that does not dispel the phenomenon itself. It is potent mojo, and particularly among the young, there is the sense that by adopting readily this kind of absurdity, they gain what I like to call "wisdom on the cheap". They become, within their own self referential culture, just innately superior to anyone who disagrees with them.
Its with no small irony that I add that THIS kind of mentality... never ends well, and is historically in any case, utterly toxic to a meaningful public discourse and free society itself. And one need not look far to note that where formerly, so called "political correctness" was bad enough when it chipped away at what was "unacceptable"... but is downright despair generating when it has become a phenomenon that enforces what is actually ACCEPTABLE. It has in recent years, that acceptability has become more and more tightly defined... and yet it holds more and more sway within, sadly, high academia.
I don't have a real solution for this. I only lament here that she is fruit of a very deadly tree, and that what we seeing now are tipping points being passed, where the other side will likely be the catastrophic failure of many of the institutional bulwarks that we don't think of, but which have imparted to us a civilization that is profoundly anomalous in history... (and in an objectively good way). I also lament... that its a pretty much immutable law of history (like one of physics), that you dont get to go back from tipping points.
Kevin McDonnell at November 25, 2013 9:22 AM
Whats interesting is that lesbians really do hate men. But gay men seem to not hate women at all. In a similar vein, women want to make men more like women. On the other hand, men tend to accept women for what they are. This suggests that men are the more tolerant gender.

These things can cut both ways. I'm sure I'm not the only man who gave up on women years ago. Frankly, I don't think girls are raised properly anymore. In any case, the past fifteen years have taught me that it is rather pleasant being in a position in which no women have anything to say about anything I do.

My personal experience with this mind set occurred this past week. I'm a waiter. A woman with her family had dinner and she left a generous tip. I smiled, said "Thank you, " and kissed her hand.
Her daughter got offended at my action and filed an official complaint for "Inappropriate Behavior". My conversation with management was not happy and I was lucky not to get suspended for a week, with a significant hit to my income.
Her daughter obviously felt that getting offended on someone else's behalf was not only proper, but actionable and required punishment.

Mike Mahoney at November 25, 2013 11:18 AM
Lesbians in my experience, don't necessarily 'hate men'.
If I were to compare the most common reaction I'd say its, 'ick' like the reaction straight men have to guy on guy.
And there is too some measure of 'discomfort' at how attractive lesbians are to straight men.
But outright hate? I doubt it is very common. Oh I'm sure there are some die hard lesbians that are die hard feminists that hate men...but I'd link that to feminism, not lesbianism. The two do not necessarily go hand in hand.
Frankly if you want to find a group of people that hate women, its not men women should look at, but each other.
Nobody hates a woman like another woman. A tenant I used to have worked at a major chain restaurant, her biggest problems always lay with her female rivals, workers, and bosses. This is not unique or uncommon.
Its so common its become a joke:
'Never try to understand women, women understand women, and they hate each other.'
Its so common you can look on any woman's facebook wall and I'd wager money that a majority of them have lots of long term guy friends and few long term female friends, and damn near all of them post at least one comment or more on their preference for the company of men and/or problems working for/with women in their organization.
Robert at November 25, 2013 12:30 PM
How sad - I like both men and women...it's their character that I may not like. To me it's ironic and sad that the first women who argued for women's rights wanted women to not be property nor treated like sex objects...seems we've missed out on some of that.
I am charmed and grateful if a man wants to open doors, kiss my hand or help me. It makes them feel good and makes me feel good. It doesn't reflect on me not being able to do that. I choose what it reflects upon for me, not anyone else. Unfortunately, women who are bitter about men are allowing their obsession with men to control them. They don't realize it really is about them and how they choose to let anyone's behavior affect them.
Victor Frankl expressed it best - when all of our choices are taken away from us, we still have a choice - how to respond to our environment. I think that responding in a positive way most of the time makes for a much happier life.

By-the-way, crafts like knitting and crocheting start historically with MEN. THEY invented the crafts even though they were traditionally associated with "women." Fishermen knitted and crocheted nets, that's how the yarn crafts began. There are QUITE a few men who are avid yarn crafters in this day and age...So if these man haters want to spread their hatred, maybe they need to find a much more appropriate venue?!?
Perhaps these women should show a lot more gratitude to the creators of these wonderful, very satisfying and gratifying crafts (instead of hatred...can't imagine...shaking my head).
Linnel at November 25, 2013 3:36 PM
I find this sort of hatred a sign that somebody got together with the wrong person and then, rather than being accountable for choosing badly, decided to just deem the entire sex bad.

TheOldMan at November 25, 2013 4:43 PM
Whats interesting is that lesbians really do hate men.
A few days ago I stopped to help a guy in an old minivan packed full of kids. It was stopped on the side of a busy road.
The guy's wife was with him, and they didn't have AAA, so I let the guy use my card to call for a tow truck. Then I realized the guy wasn't a guy. It was a masculine woman with very short hair. We talked, and she told me that she and her wife were a blended family.
Since it was cold and late and the tow truck took forever, I told the head of the family to a taxi to take the kids to home. These were clearly people in severe financial straits, so I paid for it.
When the tow truck came and started up the van, the woman I thought was a guy shook my hand and said, "You're like our own personal Santa Claus! There aren't very many people like you left."
Even heard such vicious hatred in your life?

On topic,my husband was actually brought to HR by his union rep, because he made the unthinkable comment that she looked tired.
HORRORS!
The crazy thing is that HR actually entertained her complaint!
I think that feminism has taken the same turn as racism. Just as black people are now allowed to be racist (Yo Nigga what up?) women are now allowed to be sexist, cause ya know, it happened to them.
It seems to me the pendulum effect has created a nasty tendency toward revenge in society. And it's scary. I fear for my son, who will most likely lose at least one job or be brought to HR at least once in his life due to his mostly traditional upbringing. I actually had the audacity to work from home so I could cook and clean for my family, and be there when the bus dropped them off. He will therefore most likely expect his wife to do the same. How dare he!!! Actually staying home and raising your kids? The nerve! What will the femme-nazi's think?
It's become criminal to be a traditional man, and it's disgusting. All because these whiny, insecure, dissatisfied, bat crazy spinsters can't get laid and don't have a hope in hell of getting a decent relationship.

I recall reading an article by Maggie Mcneill who referred to such a movement as 'neofeminism', a combination of rehashed and repackaged marxism and a kneejerk reaction to the AIDS virus.
The usual neofeminist reaction to accusation of misandry is 'What? Feminists only want equality with men!' or 'We hate patriarchy, not men.' or 'It's not a thing.' All bullshit obviously.
Though for the record, not every lesbian hates men, I knew two in uni, one of whom thought of me as her big brother. :)
