In that both have done very nicely after the war (WW2) in rebuilding both their cities and economies from the ashes of humiliating defeat by the Allies. We buy their cars and electronics as the finest in the world…

So, this organisation has been set up as a latter day German memorial to General Marshall, who, as part of his revival of Germany and Europe, had even coal flown into Berlin during the Berlin Air Lift to help break the Soviet blockade.

I flew across the Irish Sea in one of those old recycled WW2 DC3 DaKotas in 1959, when a boy. As comfortable as the upstairs of an old bus but with smaller windows, more noise and no heating.

This organisation pays homage to a very underrated mitary strategist who had a good grasp of global financial politics also. Worth viewing their website, I suggest?

Yes, the editor got annoyed with the length of your posts.

I mostly agree with what you say. A close friend of mine, an incest survivor with the worst story I’ve heard (and I’ve heard lots), is remarkably hostile to the feminist movement. She finds it lacks philosophical rigour and is often counter-productive (if men are born bastards doesn’t this let them off the hook?), she has also experienced important support from men in telling her story. All of which means she doesn’t have much of a brief for the feminists!

The impact on young men of their mothers having a series of unsatisfactory relationships with men is coming home to roost I think.

I think there are things we can do about this. And I think there are some good things being done – but these are very small.

Thanks for coming over from the other site. And thanks for you comments and the concern they show.

Just popped over to say hello!

I guess my other entry on a separate web site got the ‘severly edited’ routine mainly because of its length. However, if you read it, you will realise that in my experience, and that of Erin Pizzy from 35 years ago, who holds no brief for men – due to the preponderance of the militant feminist movement in high office, social services and in women’s refuges, controlling all things of a ‘domestic’ nature involving children – men as a separate and stifled minority are still getting treated as a political and social non-entity, when it comes to ‘rights’ as a father and house holder in cases of dispute. In the last 1/3 of a century I have seen no tangible proof of social progress for fathers from any political party.

When it comes to changing the world you need to start with improving the family. Feminists have made fathers redundant, worldwide. Well done girls, now we have a whole generation of feral young men to deal with and girls with ‘attitude to burn’… oops!
