Anti-Feminist Pulls White Glove And Hood Out Of Own Ass


You will absolutely flip when you read the most recent load o’ crap in Men’s News Daily on feminism. Even the title -- “Feminism, the WKKK, and the Gender-Lynching of Michael Jackson” -- exhibits just how ridiculous this shit is.

In the article, David Usher claims that “Feminism as we know it is the direct ideological and political descendant of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK).” When I read this, I didn’t know whether I should burst out in laughter or throw my laptop across the room. He continues with a long list of “connections” between the WKKK and the feminist movement, and claims that feminists left the KKK, simply omitted the word “black” from its ideology and replaced it with “men.”

Usher also manages to insist that, “The greatest problem faced by blacks is not racism itself. Sexism and discrimination against the black male, both in family and society, is the greatest single factor keeping blacks a desperate underclass.” Wow.

To back this up, he then throws Michael Jackson’s trial into the mix, and how the feminist “lynch mob” is actually responsible for the charges against him:

“So the new WKKK set out to perform a lawyerly lynching of Michael Jackson. Every mob motive is present. He is a male. He is very rich, eccentric, and black too. It was an irresistible invitation to misuse false allegations of sexual improprieties, for profit and political gain.”

Wha?? Usher is constantly reiterating that while the feminist movement exists, no one questions our “agenda.” He seems to think he’s cracked the case. What do feminists really want? The King of Pop’s blood, of course!

I normally wouldn’t waste my time writing about such anti-feminist and racist bullshit, but this particular case is so fucking ludicrous (and a bit hysterical), I just had to share.

abuse when women lie about use of birth control in order to have a child out of wedlock and get paid for it at the social demise of husbandry.


Leave it to a men's rights writer to use the word husbandry to mean something it hasn't meant for several centuries. Of course, perhaps he thinks that women using birth control leads to the demise of managing animals for domestic farming.

Oh, God, is Dave Usher still whining? I've known about that clown for ten years. Read this page on my web site to see that his whining hasn't changed since 1996:

People cannot forget and never will forget great Michael Jackson.
