There is no specific unform case they are making, they don't represent a philosophy so they don't have a set system of politics they endorse. It's a collection of heavily disenfranchised males and their observations, and some solutions (I only find game an "effective" solution sans cultural change). It as a "movement" if you will is in its beginning stages. What it

Thanks. You said "they use primarily demographic, cultural and evolutionary arguments to make their cases," but you didn't actually say what case they're trying to make.

I briefly looked at "The Misandry Bubble" and see that it seems to blame all the problems of the world on "feminization." Is that really it? And I'd then guess that

Human Bio Diversity. They use primarily demographic, cultural and evolutionary arguments to make their cases without any fundamental philosophic input or thorough explainatory methodology. It's in some ways I suppose the Attila to the traditionalists witchdoctor, but since it uses evolutionary psychology for explainations it will in some cases make sense. The quickest way to tell the

So is the root of all this that homosexuality violates "God's Law" and therefore people like this construct elaborate arguments to support it? And of course claim that Western society's fundamental distinguishing characteristic is not the individual rights of the Enlightenment, but Judeo-Christian values and morality?

It's clear that if our country can survive

Part 2

4] Similarly, a homosexual can behave as a decent person, obey the laws, support his government, defend his country in time of war. But because he is alienated or separated from heterosexuality and thus from marriage, which is the basis of human society, he is limited in his ability to explain and defend the principles on which society rests. Therefore he cannot be a good

Forgive the long post but I feel it is important.

If you want a sense of the true evil of Traditional Conservatism and its hateful view of homosexuality, let me expose you to Larry Auster who is the foremost Traditionalist Conservative on the web. His arguments against Homosexual liberation, indeed of female liberation, are the best example of Conservative ideology you will find. This

Thanks Jim and madmax. After Taranto commented, I went back and re-read his article and came away with the same impression: that those two sentences contrasting individual vs. "collective" rights were the absolute crux of his argument and were incredibly revealing. I don't believe it's going too far to say that if one abandons individual rights for one issue when it's

That argument riles me like few others. I'm sure my veins must pop out.

I heard pro-forcing-the-Bible-on-America guy Jim Campbell (http://tinyurl.com/2akyxav) on NPR laying it all out in a really calm voice, just like he was talking about the weather or something, when in fact he was advocating lynch mob rule. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128988542

And yet, Taranto didn't actually address anything, he just drops his ten dollar word and leaves.

As with immigration, conservatives in the aftermath of Prop 8's downfall, prove themselves like the Left all the time, differing only in particulars, not principles.. With gay marriage, notice, suddenly they are asking "where in the Constitution is there a right to marriage&

I have seen this argument coming from Conservatives repeatedly. Its corrupt through and through. The idea is that giving gays the right to enter into marriage contracts is an example of "too much individual rights" or "radical individualism." This type of language is extremely philosophically revealing. This is the mirror image of the Left in that it expresses the same view

While I may have been a bit more inflammatory in my language than I normally am, I don't believe I made a tendentious reading of your piece. The essence of it is that you disagree with the outcome -- both of the current ruling and what you predict of the SC appeal -- because it conflicts with "tradition, morality and the collective right of ... self-government," correct? Or at the
