And who would have thought that Waleed Aly would dare to suggest that blaming all men for domestic violence was like blaming all Muslims for Islamic terrorism.
But the icing on the cake was when Jess Hill, one of the leading feminist propagandists in the domestic violence industry, openly conceded that the advocated primary prevention strategy of promoting respect for women and attempting to "reduce gender inequity" wasn't working: "Telling men and boys that if they make sexist jokes, or fail to challenge the attitudes of their mates, they are personally responsible for the physical and sexual violence or homicides committed by other males has not proven a compelling or successful argument." Duh….

So, all those billions spent on television campaigns and shaming boys in schools has turned out to be misguided. Hill and her fellow author, UNSW criminologist Michael Salter, raise the possibility that it is increasing resentment by young men – which could backfire: "Situating all little boys as potential perpetrators not only risks diluting much needed resources and effort, but it also invites confusion and potentially backlash from boys and young men who were never at risk of hurting their partners in the first place."
Yes, growing up in a culture where the government is paying for programs which falsely claim you and your mates are responsibility for the rape and murder of women might just put you off that government, don't you reckon? And put you off voting for all the parties lining up to jump on this feminist bandwagon.
When will politicians realise that they will never appease the extremist feminists and misandrists who control not only social media but most legacy journalists? Well, while they remain fearful of extremists and their influence, the answer is – never.
Of course, even our conservative politicians are driven by fear – fear of looking out of touch. To hell with the facts, with issues of fairness, and even with what is best for our nation.

Which brings me to the Liberal Party, which sadly is the only hope of getting rid of the Labor government which has proved far more dangerous to men than we could ever have imagined – think of last year's family law legislation removing children's right to have a father in their lives. Every day this mob thinks of new ways of making lives miserable for men and boys.
Tough times for conservatives everywhere
There's good reason for Liberal party strategists to be concerned about their future. Times look bleak for conservative parties, with growing evidence that successive generations are moving further left– both in Australia and overseas. What's worse is they don't appear to move back to the centre-right as they age. Forecasts are grim and include "a 35-seat reduction in Coalition seats in the House of Representatives by 2040," according to a Centre for Independent Studiesreport on young people deserting the right.
