Feminist Legal Theory 101: What Feminism Is

Here are two [updated] videos I composed after doing some research on Feminist Jurisprudence. I was able to check out many of these books through interlibrary loan at my local university. These versions are too long for YouTube, so I uploaded them to various Facebook groups. Thus, when I speak of Feminism in general, I am speaking of the ideologies presented in these videos, which are espoused by the political and academic vanguard of the movement.

MRA’s and Counter-Feminists should view these videos as a kind of “battle map” to help orient themselves with the dominant schools of Feminism, most of which blend with each other at various intersections, and all of which are bound together by a common denominator: the demand for female privilege at the expense of men. Being politically coherent is always a good thing.

It has become painfully clear to me that a significant number of Feminists simply have not done their homework on their own movement, and are content with the comforting myth that what they feel their Feminism to be is representative of Feminism in general. So let me add this: if you are a Feminist, you should probably see these videos first, because then you will get a general idea of the standpoint of this blog. For example, if you think factors or causes to domestic violence may include things like crimes of passion (including violent responses to severe psychological abuse), economic issues, female-initiated violence, drug and alcohol abuse, mutual violence, or other explanations - don’t come here and say “I just don’t know Feminism” when I say that Feminism in general believes domestic violence is nothing but a political crime perpetrated to maintain male class power (“all about the patriarchy”), and that there are no other explanations. Do your own homework on your own movement, instead of cherry-picking which theories you want to feel represent it, as too many Feminists do.

That being said:

Here is Part I, and here is Part II. Also, check out ArgusEyes's YouTube video "What is Feminism?".

What This Blog Is About

Why hello there!

I am an MRA (Men's Rights Activist) who posts videos under the name Gogonostop on YouTube. Although I normally put a bit into my videos, ten minutes and fifty-nine seconds is not long enough to get in all of the research, commentary and argumentation I wish to.

So I made one of these here blogs. And I hope you not only find whatever you read/see here informative and motivating, but will also feel encouraged to join the conversation on whatever matter is at hand.

And yes, I use the term Counter-Feminist instead of antifeminist, per the suggestion of Fidelbogen, the author of the blog The Counter-Feminist - a very popular blog among MRA's. For the prefix "counter" is more indicative of responding to an act of aggression, rather than simply being "anti" - against - something. So here you will almost never see me use the term Anti-Feminist.

Also, Counter-Feminist sounds much more stategic. And we desperately need strategy.

Lastly, I enable comment moderation, but I do not screen dissenting views unless they are overtly and chronically hateful.

So welcome!
