(With thanks to Tim for bringing this to my attention!)
This website has some interesting theories concerning the reasons behind the Marriage Strike. Far from being a reaction to a bad transaction for the modern male, the Marriage Strike is an extremist plot perpetrated by shady neo-conservatives!
Quote:
‘The marriage strike is a temper tantrum from a 5 year old. Women rightfully stand up for their rights, and American males go, “Wah, wah, wah, I’m not going to play anymore until you submit yourself to a patriarchal marriage.” What is needed is for these American males’ moms or kindergarten teachers to put them into the corner until they learn how to play fair and respect women. After all, if American males want to act like 5 year olds, they should be treated that way.’
How shocking!
However, you may also find other interesting articles on the same website such as this one.
Yes, it’s our old friend the Scum Manifesto, proudly reprinted as a triumphant tribute to the true goals of feminism.
Feminists are waking up to the growing dissatisfaction at the hateful campaign it has perpetrated against men and is laying the blame at any door other than its own.
However, at Exposing Feminism I am pleased to see this! Reading between the lines, one can clearly see that feminists are recognising the approaching tsunami and looking for scapegoats in a futile attempt at slowing it down!
Feminism purports to concern itself with equality – but in reality propagates mistrust, tension and hatred between the sexes.

That snippet which you quoted from the article is EXTREMELY offensive, but I am happy to announce that such things no longer get under my extremely thick (and thickening) skin. The way I read the scene, it is in reality THEY who are screaming “wah, wah!”.
It offers further proof, too, that feminists need no longer be debated, or taken seriously, or even respected as human beings in any way whatsoever!
Indeed, it is painfully apparent to me that they no longer have ANYTHING TO SAY. They remind me of little children flinging mudballs!

Yep. It’s the same old shaming tactics, and it’s interesting how the double standard is in play again—women protest and stand up for themselves, it’s advancing women’s rights, but when men bow out and practice civil disobedience in order to retain their dignity, vote with their feet, and avoid situations that have become quagmires of inequality and high risks for men, we’re all of a sudden childish and selfish.
I consider myself someone that wants equal rights for both men and women, but with sites like this adding more proof that feminism is about female supremacy at men’s expense, it’s reputation has taken a nosedive into an abyss in which it will never resurrect itself from.
BTW, I thought feminists were skeptical of marriage and even had critical barbs against it as a prison (of sorts) for women.
You would think they would be celebrating the institutions’ decay rather than demanding for its re-invigoration.

Whatever the ‘marriage strike’ is in reality, I think it reflects the widening perception among men that the legal situation is biased against them in terms of reproductive rights, divorce, and child custody issues.
There may be secondary emotional factors involved, but the juridical landscape is primary, especially for separated and divorced men.

Feminists are moral pragmatists. They are ethical situationalists. They change like the wind when the wind changes. They make up the rules as they go along. They cash in their old dogmas for new whenever the old ones no longer serve their underlying agenda.
And that ‘underlying agenda’ is the one thing about them which does NOT change. Feminism’s official motto might as well be “Grrls Rule!” That is the occult theme which is constant.
Not only do they make up the rules as they go along, but they even keep mutually exclusive rules “on the books” for the sake of convenience, so they can handily apply whichever rule they need to deal with any situation that might arise.
To them, it is not about how you play the game; its about whether you win or lose. And THEIR game is to rig the game so that the rules always operate in their favor.

Yes, but these clever feminists can find a way to bash men either way, whether we are pro- or anti-marriage. Everything is our fault isn’t it?

This article just proves we are making huge progress. As the Manginas who are in the Progressive Left are opposed to Men choosing their own lifestyles. Tell this Asshole he can kiss my hairy ass. This is just hiliarious. LMAO. As if this Dumb Bastard thinks his complaints or those of Feminists mean shit to me. NOT.

Make sure you read this one. One of the best I’ve ever read regarding marriage:
http://no-maam.blogspot.com/2008/02/questionators-should-women-have-right.html
Sorry, Boys, This Is Our Domain
The “Feminization of the Internet” = Attention Whoring
Read carefully where they bring in the analysis by the Feminist regarding grrls as “objects”.

“Part of a larger trend. From preschool to law school, girls and women are consistently outpacing boys and men in nearly all aspects of achievement. The good news is that this trend will accelerate the end of lingering aspects of patriarchy and glass ceilings. But the downside is that a large cohort of undereducated, underachieving and underemployable young men is one of the worst things that can happen to any society.”

Glass ceilings? What about glass cellars?
If you want to see what happens when large numbers of young men are alienated from society, take a look at inner-city gangs, or Muslim jihadists.

I see a future in which males will be forming themselves into ALL KINDS of groups in order to secure their interests in a social order which is increasingly hostile to ALL THINGS MALE.
Street gangs are only the most obvious (and destructive) example of such male group formation.
Other combinations, however, are possible. More discreet and intelligent ones, I mean. . . 😉

They should stop referring to men as “males” – e.g. “American males” – and assign the dignity they deserve as human beings and refer to them as “men”. A “male” can refer to any type of animal, not necessarily humans, and thus dehumanises men. This referring to men as “males” while always referring to women as “women” – often juxtaposed right next to one another – is popular in feminist discourse and thus found in UN documents, political party policies and the media.
I do believe this is quite intentional on the part of women/feminists.
Also interesting to note that she is slandering us in the Men’s Movement by linking us to “neocons.” They are a particularly slimy breed of politician who are interested in internationalism, war (to eliminate Patriarchal enemies) and corporatism. “Neocons” bomb Iraq so that they can spread feminist law, media and culture there.
Most prominent “neocons” are ex-leftists. I put the word “neocon” in inverted commas because, as you can probably see by now, there is nothing conservative about them at all. Moral values register nowhere in their manifesto, nor does family law reform, nor does reducing the size of the State. They, like all mainstream political parties work for women, not men.
They are perhaps a few degrees better than modern Socialist parties (for whom being anti-male is a founding philosophy), but nevertheless, “neocons” cast men’s interests aside wholesale.
(The only males who actually act like adults are myself and others involved in progressive leftist politics and causes.)
Mmmm, yes. Mangina scum in other words. The personal is political comes to the fore once again. Basing who she will sleep with based on whether they agree with abortion or not. Tsk tsk tsk.
She expresses some sick, moral absolutist opinions throughout the rest of her postings on Kuro5hin. The Duke LaCrosse case for example – a perfect example of repugnant feminist jurisprudence if ever there was one – is ruthlessly defended.
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2008/2/23/214457/428
“The Duke Lacrosse Rape Case continues to allow the Neocon patriarchy in this country to attack anyone who dares to stand up for women, particularly poor minority women”
So, a woman decides to exploit corrupt laws that women/feminists wrote, ruining innocent men’s reputations by false accusations. The University (because it is female dominated) unanimously indict these men and the Court gets behind the woman’s groundless case as far as possible. When this whole farce falls apart because of media exposure primarily (most feminist Court cases are conducted in secrecy) – NOT because of lack of evidence – it is somehow “men’s fault”.
Never mind that it was a woman who brought up the frivilous case in the first place, that she used feminist laws, and the whole culture was one of female-bias until the bitter end.
Perhaps interesting too are the tags this “Social Democrat” Dictator gave the entry:
“politics, freedom, justice, feminism, women”
Allow me to reconstruct:
Through the system of POLITICS men lose their fundamental FREEDOM to own property and to be deemed innocent until proven guilty. In the Court of Law, as well as interfacing with instruments of the State, he is not shown JUSTICE but contempt. This process is caused by FEMINISM which is embraced by almost all WOMEN.

This is actually the worst possible news for those that care about a healthy well balanced society.
When these over educated brownshirts march down the streets, having instilled totalitarian matriarchy who will unclog the toilets, build bridges, act as grenade fodder, mine coal, clean sewers, keep the lights on?
No one, once they have succeeded in dismantling Western Society and building it up as their spiteful, unrealistic utopia. When they are at the mercy of the sociopathic men with nothing to lose that the feminsits have created through this evil social engineering no one will hear their cries for help. Unfortunately, they will drag all of us down along with them.

What the FemNags shudder at it is the facts in the Duke Lacrosse case. Which they don’t want to talk about. They in fact want to talk about anything but the facts. Fact the Men fully cooperated, volunteered for DNA tests, Polygraph Tests etc. Fact the Emergency Room Nurse lied about the evidence of Rape. Fact the Police did not take Crystal Gail Magnums story as credible from the very beginning. It changed so frequently. She was intoxicated herself. She had performed a Sex show for a couple with Sex Toys. Yet no DNA from any of the Players or Athletes. Her story none of they used Condoms. This is totally inconsistent with Science, and Forensic Science. The DA’s office colluded to supress the facts.
Broadhead and the University illegally gave out private information to the Police without the permission of the Students. They were threatened with all kinds of Verbal Abuse, called to be castrated, had their Federal Civil Rights violated, lost their season. Their Coach was fired without a hearing. You can go on and on.
If this Feminist Bitch thinks that Men have no Civil Rights or rights to due Process. She has established herself as a Delusional Fool, and a Man Hater. Whose prejudice has blinded her to the facts of the case. What angers Feminists in truth about the Duke Case is they were wrong. The Men did not behave like animals. They want to believe it. They want to make a convicted Car Jacker and Drug Abuser as an Angel.
Blacks in Durham to their credit realize they were used by an ambitious self serving Career Lawyer. Who violated the Law and should be in jail himself. Michael Nifong is a criminal.

If there is a “marriage strike”, feminists should
a) acknowledge their part in destroying traditional marriage and family
b) talk about the experiment in 1920s U.S.S.R. of eliminating marriage and family (it was a disaster)

It seems we have been linked to over at Pandagon. Hello visitors all!
I wonder how long the link to us stays there?
We are used to being ignored in the hope that we will blend into insignificance.. rather like the Marriage Strike itself, really!

I can’t believe you guys care enough about what feminists think and do to actually sit down and blog about it. That’s like me getting all upset when my dog gives me a nasty look. I don’t understand..

There are basically two kinds on men now: those who still believe in women and take time to discuss with them, then there are men who simply no longer care.
The latter group of men is growing fast, thanks God.
Give it a few more years and marriage will be a thing of the past.
And that’s when men will truly be free.

Go Galt. Slow down. Take it easy. Enjoy yourselves. Then, when the parasites and their jackboots come begging at your door for handouts . . .
. . . show thewm your fists.
You see; once you realize that you CANNOT reason with the unreasonable; once your realize what the TRUE agenda is . . . you can have done with it. Wash your hands. Tell them go go fuck themselves.
You know how I argue with a whinning feminazi? I call her a cunt and tell her to fuck off. Works every time.

I agree with the last posters.
We must abandon them completely and let them sip in their own urine.
Frankly, we don’t give a damn what they say or do or think: they are irrelevant. Brainless birds.
Pay no attention to them: only, breed them out of the gene pool. Let them go extinct and let’s erase all traces of their presence on earth once they are all assuming the cold, horizontal position. Let them sink into oblivion by ignoring/ denying their existence.
Then we can pretend they never existed: a glitch in history. Dust in the wind.
No more than a slight bitter aftertaste.
A bad dream.
