Confession is Good for the Soul: a political-fairytale from the not-too-distant future…

(5300 word short story, previously seen in February 2012 at (now-defunct) artistryagainstmisandry.com)

Oil lamps and computers, horse-drawn carts and semi-auto toting rough-men on the walls…

Welcome to USAFFC-DC [Fortified Federal Compound, District of Columbia]. The project had been the first of its kind, an above ground “bunker.” Now, “she” was reputed to be the country’s most secure.  The less-fortunates inside and the roving bands of outlaws beyond its walls disparagingly refer to it as Fort Dyke for short. 

Within its thick, [government ] certified blast-proof walls, an admin-staffer with decades of loyal service to the tyrannical Regime has had a crisis of conscience…the crisis being she’s actually developed one!

What can a man do?

R.I.P. For nearly two years.

This is one way complete and utter despair looks. I’m sure there are many others. Find a memorial site for Mr. Ball, here. Among other things it’s an excellent source of links to Suicide-prevention hotlines. They also have the full “manifesto” Mr. Ball wrote. It’s been called various derogatory things, but if you want a look behind the curtain into the darker recesses of one man’s “family court” experiences it’s an excellent place to begin (my Prologue/essay linked below is shorter).

My politically-incorrect novel, “Web of Lies,” was written in response to this tragedy. I knew it’d be a hard sell considering it took a “dim view” of feminism, out-of-whack divorce settlements (favoring the woman), and that it gives a pass to a divorced man’s Afterworld-style vigilante-justice. After dozens of agent-rejections this spring (only one slight nibble) I’ve decided to self-publish it: an e-book on Smashwords will come out first. I begin formatting to their style book standards tomorrow; hopefully it’ll be ready to submit in a few days!

Here’s a link to the Prologue, on A Voice for Men. It’s just as it’ll appear in the book, except I’ll change the date from October 2012 to this year.

SheZow: Feminist agitprop

What’s under the mini-skirt of SheZow? (Hint: it starts with Feminist and ends with Agitprop)

If the “every-guy” doesn’t dream of becoming a super-girl, he should

If Feminists designed, then crafted a training-bra of a Saturday morning cartoon it couldn’t end up much better than Discovery Communications and Hasbro Inc’s, new “SheZow,” which premiered June 1st, 2013 on kids’ cable channel, The Hub1.

It’s the story of an every boy, you know, say one with the totally asexual non-name, Guy, yet who’s described as an “extreme dude.” Guy’s so extreme perhaps even he gets the name-slight, and so right off the bat he usurps the rightful heir to his dead-aunt’s super-girl-power + famous-villain fighting legacy: his twin sister, Kelly.

It needs a down-graded TV-rating

Though the SheZow network’s primary market is “2 to 11,” the new show’s rated TV-7-FV for the Fantasy Violence content. An online sidebar poll at The Hub (left) clearly indicates the program is intended for still impressionable girls (and probably their mothers), therefore I strongly suggest it be given a new cautionary note in its TV-rating.

Though I’m confident the show will fail, nevertheless it warrants a rating of, “FVaM.” For Fantasy-Violence-AGAINST MALES, for reasons I will clearly detail in this essay.

Every week from now on, hilarity, no doubt, will ensue…
