Why So Few Men Protest Anti-Male Sexism

FAR TOO many men tolerate anti-male sexism because they are:

• Socialized to repress their feelings about personal matters the way women have been socialized to repress their feelings about sexual matters, and hence are often as uncomfortable talking about gender issues as nuns are talking about pornography!
  
• Fearful of being the first to speak up and being scorned with: "Why are you the only one having a problem with this?"
  
• Fear of upsetting women, whom men are supposed to simultaneously see as capable of handling the violence of hand-to-hand combat with enemy soldiers but incapable of handling men's mere words. Radical feminist ideology wants us to believe women can cope with death-threatening revilement "Die, slut!" from an enraged enemy soldier on the battlefield, but not with a good-intentioned compliment "Hi, gorgeous!" from an effervescent man in the workplace.
  
• Silenced by seeing themselves as protectors of women. Many men, especially feminist men, want to be known as protectors of women (often to earn female approval or female votes). Since such chivalrous men are sometimes willing to sacrifice their lives for women, many can certainly be counted on to sacrifice their rights for women.
  
• Silenced by a political correctness that is hostile and censorious to non-feminist views on gender, particularly to such views offered by men.
  
• Silenced by the mistaken belief that all feminists work in the interest of both sexes and for the good of the country, and that to be against feminists is to be against women.
  
• Taught by feminists and the media, in a sleight-of-hand manner, to see only female burdens and male power, taught even to see male powerlessness as male power. (The military conscription of men is presented as malepower, not the male powerlessness that it is. So is having to work long hours in an oppressive job in order to support a family.)
