  False: "Abuses against women are relentless, systematic, and widely tolerated, if not explicitly condoned."

  This is a rhetorical device: claim victim-hood, in order to persecute.

  Do you know who else was a victim? Germans. They were victims of Jews. Always, everywhere, a German was abused, held down, kept back, by the dirty Jew.

  So, too, feminists claim they are held back by men. Relentlessly, systematically, widely, and with explicit condonement. Yes, if not for The Man what would Woman be? She would be everything... Mother Earth, and Happiness. Joy, Truth, and World Peace.

  And yet... even as she makes these claims, she corrupts the courts. Even as she extolls the virtue of woman, she poisons her arguments with vitriol, bitterness, and attacks ad hominem. And we begin to see this victim outside of her own shadow, and she is not so pure and pretty as she claims to be.

  The wage disparity of women is a handy myth, the better to promote sexist policies which fill our institutions with unqualified women at the expense of better qualififed men.

  The sex discrimination of women is a clever ruse, the better to tear down university presidents who speak against left-wing anti-semitism.

  The abuse of women is a profitable ploy in the hands of an adroit attorney, who need prove no claim to take a man's property in any divorce court.

  So the problem with this method is that it has a very clear end. For the victim to rise, the persecutor must fall. For the woman to be free, the Man must be shackled. This is the lesson of history, and we see its beginnings in the fascism that parades through these pages, in which the evil man is omniscient like the evil Jew, in which claims of victimhood are everywhere and unproven, and in the profits of the self-proclaimed victim... every click another copper from a pile of discarded clothes, every column another gold tooth extracted from one who will not need it soon, every triumph a bonfire which consumes truth and casts a flickering light on the face of our real enemy.
