Background: Last month feminist bloggers Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon and Jeff Fecke of Shakespeare's Sister vehemently attacked me over comments about the domestic violence issue I had made in an interview. Now feminist blogger Jeff Fecke and his compatriot Melissa McEwan are on the attack again, with Jeff's new piece The Tune's the Same, Only the Words Have Changed.  My response was Feminist Bloggers on the Warpath Against Me Again, this Time over 'Power & Control in the Domestic Violence Industry--a New DV Wheel'.

Apparently either feminist blogger Jeff Fecke and/or his compatriot Melissa McEwan have banned Lee, a dissenter, from their site. (The screen shot pictured is lousy but it says at the top "Banned by the webmaster. Your comments will not be added.")

It is common practice for feminist bloggers to ban men's rights/fathers' rights blog commenters, which reflects the weaknesses in many of their arguments. By contrast, feminist blog posters are given wide latitude on my site.

To be fair, I do not know what Lee has posted there in the past. If Jeff and Melissa would like to let me know why Lee was banned, I will post their views here on my blog. Also, to be fair, I was surprised and pleased to see that a detailed comment today from Marc Angelucci on domestic violence was not deleted, or not yet anyway.

The comment Lee attempted to post is below.

Here is the comment I was going to post but was unable to at http://www.haloscan.com/comments/amsmiles/8298919046479266582/  because I was banned.

This is getting sickening . . . and irritating at the same time.  I know I am not the most eloquent writer, I put myself through college while raising three children (my siblings) and now I have one to raise on my own.  I don't have the most reputable background . . . but I am willing to wager everyone has done something in their past that they are not completely proud of.

As I mentioned before I am for both the Feminist Movement and the Men's Movement.  Both have similar goals, the Men's Movement is more like the Feminist Movement when they just started.  Most of you probably don't even remember, I know I don't but I studied, except the Feminist Movement also have a male support team who believed in equal rights for both sexes.

I don't know the number, but I believe from what I seen written and publish that 25-33% of the original feminists (WOMEN) have joined the Men's Movement.  Why would they do that, unless they saw something corrupting the women's movement or the scales tilting over.

The problem is with attitude and lack of diplomatic communications.  I posted earlier asking why the Feminist here believe that MRA/MRM/FRA want to advocate domestic violence . . . guess what . . . I GOT NO ANSWER . . . why . . . BECAUSE THERE IS NONE.  As I stated MRA/MRM/FRA don't want to remove the laws (since it helped so many . . . even though it never help me and I was a victim and I am a male) but we want them reformed, modified, changed . . . to acknowledge male victims and punished those who committed those crimes.  Male victims were not even acknowledged about in VAWA until 2007, and even that report was flawed.  Hell, every study that has been done whether it is Pro-Feminist or Pro-Male has been flawed in one way or another.  Why?  Because we are human . . . with pride, ego . . . I am not talking about men but women too.  We all want to be the victims, when in fact, sometimes the true victims are the ones being persecuted and the children themselves.

Which is why I asked for members of the Feminist Movement and the Men's Movement to post their issues.  Put facts supporting your beliefs (Studies, Surveys, Research).  Also for them to point out the Other side's Issues and Beliefs with your one supporting documents to prove your case.  Then you can rebut each other findings, trying to point out the individual flaws in the study . . . where it is lacking and then maybe together, both the Feminist and Men's Movement can create a study, survey, and research that would cover all the bases, so we will have a true study, and make adjustment to policy that way.

Think is, I had a bout with sexism yesterday, or shall I say last night.  I went to ToysRUS with my family to buy a talking electronic cash register which was on sale.  They have both blue and pink.  Guess what happen, I couldn't find the blue register, found plenty of pink ones in a big display around other pink items.  I tried asking about the other registers and they claimed they only carried the pink one, which was a lie, because my nephew had one, that my sister bought for him.  When I told them that, they said they must have discontinued them.  Why?  No answer.  I even asked if they could check in the system . . . of course they said they were too busy.  So we went to look for again.  I found some . . . above the regular racks, in the upper level . . . I saw one unit behind a bunch of pink units.  I asked to female customer service if they can get that one down.  They claim they didn't see it, but when I hit it with a small bean bag . . . they said no, claiming safety reason.  Then I found the only boy in the store (I call him a boy because he looked 17-18, and before you call me a racist, he was white).  He then told me, that he will be right back with a ladder.  Within five minutes, we had the register.  When I asked him if that was the only blue one there, he said no, there was about 25 units up there behind the pink registers.  That is not all, when we went to pay . . . I scanned it on one of those scanner, it stated promo (for the advertisement).  At the register, they didn't give me the sale price.  I showed them the ad, same manufacture, same sku except for one number [if I remember correctly] (denoting color).  There excuse was, we are doing a pink sale for the girls only, not the boys.  If I wanted the hot pink one and not the gender neutral blue/grey, they will give me $5.00 off.  I argued about it for a moment, told them I was going to write about it, paid for the one we wanted and left.  I wrote about it . . . but this is not the only place I am going to write about it.

BTW, Ginmar . . . Feminists haven't proven MRAs are pro-abusers.  So I wouldn't make that claim.  As for a webpage . . . you don't advertise either.  And watch the name calling, we try to teach our children manners, we should used them ourselves.

Whatever . . . stop it with the Nazi commentation.  It doesn't help when you get into a verbal emotional confrontation with Feminists.  Things need to be discussed logically and rationally.

Flewellyn, I already told both sides to put up or shut up, asking for both sides to identify their issues and beliefs, post links to studies, surveys, research, to support their ideal.  Also for them to examine their opponents, and post links to support their beliefs in the same matter.  Then both sides can discuss where is each study, survey, research is flawed.  Point it out exactly where it is flawed, because to me . . . both sides have research, studies, and surveys that have fundamental methodological flaws.  Which to me and non-sheep followers, both sides haven't proven their point and is full of it.  Make me a believer. 

I highly doubt either side will do this.  Why, because both sides know I am right.  No study is flawless, which is why both sides need to work together on those issues and create a better place for all humanity, or we will all go to hell.

'nuff said.
