A figment of the male
imagination - just a bit of fun?
The History
- Backlash Against Women
Starting from
the premise that the world should be ruled and dominated by
the male 'educated' elites - preferably white 'educated' men
it follows that there must be a strategy to ensure this.
Not
planned round a bonfire, castle or boardroom table by a small clique of
conspirators, but developed over centuries by a natural constituency of
interested parties.
The
starting point was the advantage of physical strength, and the worship
of physical strength is still very much in evidence today.
In
order to prosper, male, political and religious
ruling elites must promote and use devices designed to divide and rule
the populace.
They
use fear of violence, poverty - the law & penal system,
religion, sexism and
racism, competition & co-operation and (uncritical) 'education'
and an academic elite.
The
struggle against oppressive, exploitative, aggressive domination of
human societies by the privileged elites continues today against the
current phase of selfish, global capitalism and their coercive methods..
The
campaigns to counter these weapons are Socialism,
Cooperativism, Feminism,
Anti-Racism, Secularism and Peace Activism
We
are all part of the same struggle for equality, autonomy and freedom
consistent with the public good and struggles are inextricably linked
Sexism
is one of the most pernicious and wasteful and longstanding
effects of male elitism and Feminism
is one of the most
important campaigns.
Where
might we be had women not been systematically excluded from education,
academia, the professions, science, administration and government based
on evidence based decision making? Link
The Pansy is the symbol of
Freethought from the French Pensee - 'to think'-
and green white and purple were the colours of the Women's
suffrage movement

How
is promoting only abstinence going to stop the spread of AIDS,
especially when much of it is spread through trafficking and
