The image attached here could be offensive to some because it portrays multiple ceramic penises hanging from a clothesline in a public library. This "art" was called "Hanging 'Em Out to Dry." It is offensive on a multitude of levels.
Here is a well-reasoned article by Wendy McElroy, who put this shameful piece of misandry in its proper perspective: "It is hate speech directed at a category of human beings. If you doubt this, imagine a display of black penises strung up. It would be condemned as racist in an instant. Why is it less hate speech to expand the category from 'black men' to 'all men'?"
Funny how supposedly enlightened left-wing feminists have no difficulty negatively attributing to an entire class the worst characteristics of some of its members -- so long as the class in question is male. In any other context, such stereotyping of an entire group would not be tolerated.
I am thankful that we have women such as Ms. McElroy speaking up for the vast majority of men and boys who don't deserve to have the quintessential symbol of their maleness ridiculed and hated because of the crimes of some men.

Great point… Supremacists do not attack an ideology with logic facts or truth… They attack an entire group of people with hate… This is true of Aryan Supremacists, White Supremacists, and Female Supremacists.

This has nothing to do with rape at all. It's penis envy, and that's all it is.
If these feminists used the dildos before hanging them up I sure hope they were deloused!
There is a way to deal with this sort of hate campaign. Deny that it exists. Just MGTOWs deny the presence of women, we should not even deign to respond to their comments. That way we send the signal that their orchestrated hate-slinging is no more worthy of attention than a nasty bug or canine ordure.
And to Anonymous above me, that comment about delousing the possibly used dildos cracked me up!!
Just imagine men hanging fake vaginas up in protest of abortion. They would be charged with a hate crime.
Also incredible is that they call this "art." These girls are intellectually stunted and can only express themselves in terms of crude sexual references and obsolete stereotypes.
I would bet everyone one of them owns one of these;

I admire Ms. McElroy, at least she has the sense to see the evil things feminists do.
its all just a power game to women.
and because no-one has been challenging them, they think they can get away with it.
untill this sort of behaviour is challenged, it will continue to get worse.
SteveUK, it IS being challenged -- by you and me and the others who contribute to this and other sites. The enemy is very much aware of what we do here and what a lot of others do as well. We need to keep speaking out, with all appropriate force.
Imagine an exhibit by a male artist who'd been falsely accused of rape -- and it depicts a series of female heads with their tongues ripped out.
How is that different.

It's not different. In any way. Excellent comment.
Pierce, you and the other contributors to this blog are a constant source of inspiration to me, and it motivates me to keep speaking out.
My male friends are sick of me telling them about all this stuff. false rape accusations, paternity fraud, violence by proxy, I even speak about it on un-related internet forums I use. Infact only a few days ago it got pretty heated between myself and a forum full of ignorant and brainwashed men who simply wont face the reality of feminism and modern woman.
That didnt and wont stop me from telling the truth.
This "art" is the same thing as the KKK hanging nooses from trees as a way of sending a message to black people. The message is that all men are rapists who are going to be castrated, for the terrible crime of making women do laundry.
SteveUK: Never give up! Men can and will get a fairer and better deal from society if only we are determined.

Anonymous, you say "Imagine....". Can you give us a real-life example?
You'd never find that in a public library.
I think those jackasses know it's not art, they are just interested in offending men or 'teaching men a lesson'. To tell the truth, if I saw the display myself and was a member of the library, I would tell the head person to please take it down. If it was not taken down withing two business days, I would do so myself.
It wouldn't be anything new for me...in the past, there have been a couple of times where I have done something in the MR interest that could have gotten me in big trouble with cerain uniformed persons (in one case, almost did).
Civil Disobedience. Fuck the law, sometimes it's wrong.
that reminds me, aren't kids going to see this? It seems it would voilate obscenity laws.
I always advise MRAs to stay within the law. No sense getting in trouble, especially over something as ridiculous as this display.

i recall discussing this exhibit on Mensactivism many years ago -- and yes indeed, this exhibit was even "reviewed" by groups of grade-school kids
while the exhibit was still running, i tried to organize a protest witin the movement -- even a handful of people showing up in the Boulder Library with a solidly organized protest would have drawn significant media -- showing feminism for what it is to millions of shocked people
NOBODY was interested in going, with the exception of Angelucci
the guys who could afford to fund travel for others . . . silence
the established "men's orgs" in Colorado. . . silence . . . not interested
chattering on the internet is ok, and serves a purpose, but opportunities like the Ceramic Penis Exhibit are rare

I know what you mean. I think that for one thing, women are (or were) a lot more active than men when it comes to their ownd interests, because there is some kind of 'sisterhood' feeling or something (whether responding to a wrong tthat has actually been committed, or one falsely perceived.)
On the other hand, men 1) are afraid of protesting publicly because of the misandric response they may get, and, 2) tend to be more antagonistic toward each other.
Just an observation, maybe I'm wrong.
Men love to compete against other men, and don't have automatic empathy for other men who are in harm's way. Women are more of a herd.
"Men love to compete against other men, and don't have automatic empathy for other men who are in harm's way. Women are more of a herd."
Disagree. Women have a much more difficult time working with other women, whereas men just go with the flow.
Men skew so wide -- in almost every way wider than women -- that it's more difficult for men to see themselves as a "group."
Good article. I think it's always useful to learn about cases from the past rather than always focusing on the present, and also nice to pay tribute to successful and principled MRAs who've been willing to stand up against feminist hatred and intolerance.

I completely understand SteveUK. I encounter the same on internet forums. I refuse to give up in delivering the message. The more people are confronted with MR issues, the more many of them begin to see the truth.

True and correct.

Good point also, couldn't it be considered a sexual offense and those responsible punished, including having to register as sex offenders for indecent exposure?

I think you are spot on Norm.
As I stated in an earlier post, it is considered socially acceptable for women to bond with each other while men have been demonized,ridiculed and, shamed for attempting to bond together. I heard one woman accuse her husband of being gay because he wanted to hang out with his fellow men, instead of spending time with her and doing chores she found for him to do. Imagine a husband not allowing his wife to have a girl's day out with her girlfriends?
He would be called a control freak and more than likely be publicly shamed on an episode of Oprah.
And if he denies being gay, he must be a homophobe, right?

Anon,
This is why I think women tried so hard to end the men only clubs. Those gave men a chance to socialize and bond. Women sued for the right to have access, but then demanded seperate areas for women only. I don't think they got the contradiction in doing that.
As for the guy getting called gay by his wife, classic shaming tactic. Honestly, if that was my wife who said that, my immediate response would have been:
"Well, being married to you, gay seems like a better choice at this point."
I don't think she would see the humor.
