On May 3, 2005 at University of New Hampshire an organization called Feminist Action League held a conference called “Patriarchy Slam.”
One member of FAL was quoted as saying that: “Ninety-nine
percent of sexual perpetrators are men. They are the root cause of the rape and
oppression against women.”
A presenter named Mary explained the FAL viewpoint:
“Hello, my name is Mary Man-Hating-Is-Fun. I am 23 years
old, and I am what a feminist looks like. Ever since I learned to embrace my
feminist nature, I found great joy in threatening men's lives, flicking off
frat brothers and plotting the patriarchy’s death. I hate men because they are
men, because I see them for what they are: misogynistic, sexist, oppressive and
absurdly pathetic beings who only serve to pollute and contaminate this world
with war, abuse, oppression and rape.”
The 40 women in the audience, many wearing scissors around
their necks, laughed and clapped, then broke into a light-hearted song about
castration.
