“Now is the time for all good men to fight for their rights before they have no rights left.”
So says Roy Den Hollander, a US attorney who is engaged in a mission to “battle the infringement of Men’s Rights by the feminists and their allies.”
Unfortunately for Roy, Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum – yes, a dastardly female – threw out his lawsuit alleging that ladies’ nights at nightclubs discriminate against men. The learned judge said nightclubs can price their products as they wish because they’re not acting as representatives of the state.
Roy didn’t like this. He lavished the judge with what, for him, is evidently one of the worst things that can be said of a woman. Yes, he called her a “feminist”. As AP report here, he also said her dismissal of his lawsuit was consistent with the discrimination embedded in many of America’s institutions, and, just so that his point was clear, he told the New York Daily News that “This lawsuit would have put an end to guys financially subsidizing girls to party at nightclubs.”
Does Roy have a case? Is he a prophet without honour, a man whose coruscating vision of equality shines too brightly for the age into which he was born? Or should he go online and buy one of those time travel devices – which, these days, are available from all good websites – and transport himself back to, say, the 15th century, where good men can, with impunity, vanquish the feminists and their evil allies with the best tools that diplomacy has to offer – the axe, the guillotine, and the stake-in-the-fire?
We cannot say, but if you would like to contact Roy but find yourself gender-challenged (as in, you’re a woman), we say this: make sure you get the first round in. And the second. And maybe the third. Damn it, why not get ‘em all why you’re there? You know it’ll be worth it.
