Mince a Mile in Your Wife's Shoes
No one likes rape, sexual assault, or even "gender violence." So why turn disapproval of them into a farce?
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is an "international men's march" to protest aggression against the feminine. Apparently on the level, it features men walking down the street in women's shoes. Over a hundred walks have been scheduled for 2008. There go some of the marchers now:

Maybe next they'll protest violence against eccentrics with a Ministry of Silly Walks Walkathon.
On a tip from AWOL Civilization.

So this is supposed to make men not abuse women? Yeah right. Its like those vigils and protests against gun violence - does anyone really believe criminals and going to say "Hey, wow because of this protest Im going to turn over a new leaf and be a nice guy! Ive seen the light!".
What about violence against men? Though most spousal abuse is man on woman, there are large numbers of women who beat up their husbands - these go unreported as most men are too embarrassed to admit their wives beat them up. The old getting hit in the head with a rolling pin is fact based. Women feel empowered because if the man fights back they can claim he was beating her up and thats why she hit him. When it comes to lesbians its a little tougher to sort out.

This just seems silly, and unless it's to raise money for a battered women's charity or something, I don't really see how it could make a positive difference.

I'd have no problem with this if it was just a goofy thing done to raise money to help, but I sense there is a darker agenda.
Liberal Feminists seem to think that feminizing men is the way to stop rape and domestic violence and this could be playing into their agenda. The sad part is the things feminists are against, patriarchy and traditional masculinity, is what will stop rape and violence. We need men to want to lead families. If women are in charge of the family young boys will look elsewhere for strong male role models and end up with gangs and other men who see women as simply disposable sex objects.

Its not what its represented to be
its a show of power... only someone with power could create a material situaion where the leaders of the community of the old power are made to look weak and silly by the incoming new power...

Something about law enforcement authorities marching in red pumps does not fill me with confidence for the future.

thank you for making my case mega.
loss of confidence leads to what in power politics? removal of encumbents... replacement with those who would rather fight than comply with such nonsense.
meanwhile, in other coutnries, women look and say... see how much power communist tactics give women inthe west, lets join..
and soon... everybody will be goostepping to their own beat... while women live in barracks, like in china during the nike scandal.. (which is why homosexuality is to be normed. other wise the zoo managers would have to have congugal and comfort visits. lesbianism, and homosexual behavior removes the necessity of having to allow the sexes to mingle. except when breeding is to be allowed from the best in the human herd)
the problem is that their ideas and goals predate the modern era... so rather than accept that capitalism would find a solution and eventually make robots for slaves.
they live in the past where they think that the end to progress will come. that we will run out of ideas... and the old way would create the same end result capitlism wouild, but it wouldnt rely on robots, but subjucation of the lumpen proletariat to be the workers used up to build the future for the children of the new ruling class who all ahve socialist minds.
this is so embedded in the ideology, they cant even see that capitalism is solving the problems that they are endeavoring to solve with a dark age.
for instance... litter and garbage.. how long before its cheaper to dig up garbage dumps and separate materials rather than mine new material from way deeper in the earth?
nuclear waste? how long before safe space flight allows us to send all of it to the sun? and whatever litter is not cleaned up by garbage mining...
nope... they used the schools to breed followers under the noses of the parents and with the complicity of other parents (like obamas. he was groomed to be an ideological patsy). this was dewys communist schools with sex ed.. that made the kids that then would be teh 60s revoltuionaries.. that then destroyed the cultuer anre were living bred useful idiots industrially working to their own slavery and demise, while beliving that such horrors are only in fictions.
we are in for a sad future...
that is unless you have made your money now and are connected with the new ruling order... then you might have a place till your group is unfavored by the ruling group... (like purges)
its coming... because unlike freedom, its the more normal state of man..

I once went without a haircut for half a year to protest Liberals intolerance.
It didn't help.

I'm sure this march did absolutely nothing to stop crime, but it made the owner of some "plus-sized women's" clothing shop rich. The police need fifty pairs of red pumps, size 12? Ka-ching!

I have linked your site from my site http://ChicagoThug.com. See the hotlink on FAQ #1. Spread the news. Let voters hear what Barack Obama campaign has been doing to suppress Freedom of Speech and to his opponents over his career.
