Yes, I can name names, like Andrea Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon, Valerie Solanas
with her S.C.U.M. Manifesto, Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer. The so-called 
patriarchy isn't worth much when everyone in power is in thrall to radical 
feminist ideology. The police are now little more than a special interest group 
for the feminists; the justice system has been corrupted to where any man can be
convicted for "rape" or any manner of "abuse" simply on the uncorroborated 
testimony of any woman or child, all of it based on appallingly misandristic 
definitions of what these supposed crimes consist of. And of course the 
workplace, academia and the rest of society is now a hostile environment towards
men thanks to the "sexual harassment" industry, affirmative action, and the 
constant demonization of males in the media. This is not patriarchy in any 
meaningful sense even if mostly men technically rule. However, fortunately there
is a growing antifeminist movement, and I believe we will turn the tide before 
long. Check out my favorite men's rights activist, Angry Harry:

Dear Mr. Berge,


In 1776, when the Second Continental Congress was drafting the Declaration of 
Independence, Abigail Adams wrote to her husband, John Adams:


"Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your 
ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. 
Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. . . . Emancipating all 
nations, you insist upon retaining absolute power over Wives. . . . . If 
particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies, we are determined to 
foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we 
have no voice or Representation."


Please be aware that women's rights are human rights. I am going to boldly 
predict that any society that treats women unjustly will not prosper in the 
modern world. For example, in the Middle East, where women are sentenced to 
death by stoning for a variety of infractions, the following sentiments were 
expressed: "Being improperly veiled and not wearing a veil are no different. 
When it is clear from the appearance of a woman that she has violated the law, 
then the crime is obvious and law enforcement agents can take legal measures 
against her". "Crimes such as mal-veiling or other prohibited acts, which happen
before the eyes of a law enforcement agent, are evident crimes and must be 
dealt with in accordance with the law."

As you might imagine, signups at the Iranian Institute for Cryonics are pretty 
scarce.


If you want to guarantee that progress in medicine, technology, life-extension 
and cryonics is halted, please make sure that your antifeminist movement grows 
and spreads like wildfire, stamping out individual rights and freedoms wherever 
they may take root.

Ps. You may be interested in the following women and their inventions:
(from http://www.enchantedlearning.com/inventors/women.shtml )

  1.. Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper was a US naval officer and mathematician.
  In 1952, she invented the computer compiler. 

  2.. Isabella Helen Lugoski Karle is a chemist who invented new methods of 
  X-ray Crystallography. She used electron diffraction and then x-ray 
  diffraction to study the structure of molecules. Her three-dimensional 
  modeling process enabled her to identify the structures of hundreds of complex
  molecules. 

  3.. Stephanie Louise Kwolek is a chemist who discovered kevlar, a polymer that
  is five times stronger than the same weight of steel. Kevlar is used in 
  bullet-proof vests, helmets, trampolines, tennis rackets, and other common 
  objects. 

  4.. In 1959, Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow and Dr. Solomon A. Berson were 
  co-inventors of the radioimmunoassay. Radio-immunoassay is a method of 
  chemically analyzing human blood and tissue. The test is used to diagnose 
  illness, such as diabetes, using only a small sample of blood or tissue.
Kind regards,
Beth Bailey
