I Shaved My Head When Robert Stanfield Died

"...because Canadian politics is a baffling mystery that, when explained, still doesn't make sense, and has no bearing on anything." -Commenter on a Diefenbaker YTMND I made

To www.antimisandry.com Seriously guys, you're not helping.

After some general e-battling on Huffington Post and doing some research, I've begun to wonder: Where in the hell are the articulate, liberally educated and complex-minded anti-misandrysts out there. Where's the scotch swilling man's man of a masculist who'll be in favor of sexual freedoms, opposed to homophobia and transphobia and ready to point out the cold hatred that spews from the pens of tenured professors like Janice G. Raymond? Where are the actual egalitarians out there beyond Nathanson and Young? We need your help people. Male post-secondary enrollment is down to 42%, there's legitimate evidence in the latest US census, that among Single people of similar experience and education, that the wage gap is going the other way. There are significant legal, political, and social inequities that are being built as an edifice of empowerment and the tipping point is being reached, and nobody is around to intelligently build a coalition of the egalitarians, reform and classical liberals, classical conservatives, and counter-cultural modernists into opposing the entrenchment of these barriers.

To wit: Give me an articulate left-wing anti-misandryst! Give her tenure! Give him a lecture series, a seat in parliament, a chair opposite Keith Olbermann! Give her a fourth party presidential run! Give him a New York Times Best Seller! Give her cohorts and a whole intellectual tendency, please!

Anyway, so ends my complaining, but that's an issue that's always nagged at me, one that'd get me back into party politics, one that would bring me back to academia. Give me someone to follow in this regard with some actual credibility, who'll make a political career over this.
