Stefan Molyneux posted a video review of Maleficent. It is at the 25-min mark when he connects the feminist agenda of the movie to real life:
This level of contempt for masculinity must be noticed before it can be stopped. It is not healthy to tell women that men are bad. It is not healthy to tell daughters that fathers are bad. It is not healthy to tell wives that husbands are bad. Because the absence of fathers is killing the world. It may sound like I speak in hyperbole, but I’m deadly serious. Just look up these statistics on the children of single mothers, and I will let the fatal math make my case.

I wouldn’t waste the data
The healthy minded do not listen to this dribble.
It’s not just fatherless homes. Every father in every commercial, TV show and cartoon is a drooling cretin. I realize that men are better at taking the slapstick hits than women, but jeez, the dad-bashing is stale. But I guess making the dad the oldest child in the family is essentially the same as a single mom family.
Remember “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”? Great TV show. We’ll never see anything like it ever again. Unless the dad is black and is an astrophysicist.
Thanks for the link Comrade Cardigan.
An important topic that can’t get enough attention.
Excellent video. I didn’t intend to watch the whole 27 minutes, but couldn’t help myself.
I know women hate men today (I’ve watched feminism browbeat the patriarchy from the Sixties on–that’s a long time!). That’s why I play them. At the doctor’s office, the checkout counter, whenever and where ever I run into or meet them, whether of a ephemeral period of time or hours on end. I play on their natural weakness: that of being a mother and a whore at the same time. I’m covertly evil with them, and I love it. It’s manly. Always though, I am amiable and emphatic in my conversation, lest I encounter a fortuitous unmasking (hasn’t happened yet). Women shouldn’t be taken so seriously. I make them THINK they have power, all the while amusing myself in their distraction. To make them feel good by agreeing with the bait I placed before them (they really are suckers, you know) is extremely gratifying. Just smile and be nice, speaking sweet metaphors and idioms they can relate to, and they’ll be infatuated with you and eating out of your hand in no time.

Then you go home to an empty place alone?
A couple year ago Proctor and Gamble ran an ad for Tide detergent in which the dad tried to get rid of his daughter’s too short skirt. He picked it off he clothes line and stuffed it in the garbage. But daughter and mom conspired against him. I wrote and called P&G and told them I would never buy their products again if they continued to demean men, show them as unnecessary or even a hinderance to the family and mocked him as the authority over his kid’s activities.
They took the ad off almost immediately, sent me product and coupons for more free product.
This is a great time to lean on companies who bash men and all the (straight) roles they play. Companies are spending more of their earnings than ever on advertising and in this time of very low household income, they are killing themselves for every last buck we spend at the store.
Don’t let your kids or grandkids watch tee vee shows that characterize adults as clueless idiots (even if they are, sometimes).
wanna get pissed off ? try the govt sponsored “think before you post vid – they haven’t played it for several years – it’s a lot worse than “white guy is a dufus at the big box store.
some assholes put together a 30sec spot for the “Ad Council” that uses a just pubescent white girl who posted her bikini pics on her FB and SEVEN of the eight guys who make wretched remarks to her are obvious WHITE guys, come ons, the whole thing, seventh guy is kinda asian/latino -whiteguy mix
i called a few nonprofit law centers trying to get a class action suit or something for defamation of character – total smear agitprop AGAINST whitey

Who’s a cute little misogynist? You are…
IOW: Dan Quayle was right !
And you can’t really talk about poverty and leave out the breakdown of the family.
