A stupid little thing in the scheme of things, but I have a job interview in a couple of weeks and need to bring with me various certificates of my qualifications. You know what I'm going to say - I can't find them *anywhere*. I know they're in the house somewhere, but please God can I just find the sodding things so I can actually concentrate on important things (like figuring out what on earth they are looking for in their super-vague presentation title).
Thank you all.

This is a long one...
WIll need a LOT of prayer suppor as I continue to heal..
I recently posted this on Reddit when asked to explain how i processed 2nd wave radfem rhetoric...
The experience is my own.
I was one of the first ever people to receive an Asperger diagnosis in 1987, personally diagnosed by Lorna Wing in 1987, 2 years after she translated Hans Asperger's papers. Consequently I was very literal in my interpretation of inbound signals.
This also led to me running a minus-5-year Delta in sociosezual development.
I experienced low level Sexual abuse by predatory girls at age 13, sociosexual dev was approx 8. They silenced me by threatening to cry rape if I talked. I was also victim blamed by my female militant Feminist tutor-group tutor. I also had the deafeningly loud message from Dworkin feminists from news reports concurrent in 1984. Namely that somehow I was a "rapist" because I had a penis or something. (The tutor-group is your base class in the British secondary school system of the time. American equiv would be homeroom).
I started suicidally eating.
Scott Aaronson's experience is also relevant, as I heard the same toxic mix of conservative American Christian messages and the deafening slander by Team Dworkin. As a Brit, this was very confusing, as the UK is apparently "gender egalitarian", according to voices i hear from the government... or something.
Michael Kimmell, being downstream of Dworkin/Mackinnon, is also toxic to autistic men. I also went onto internalise the the Eunuch/Rapist dichotomy described in Thing of Things . Also is Hugh Ristik's When you have Feminist guilt you don't need Catholic guilt . I'm Baptist.
Mary Koss's action in creating the made to penetrate category in 1984 erased me, until 2004, when I was told by a counsellor that my abuse was not my fault. Kimmell woudl have me view my rape (by Feminism's own rules) as my fault because I was guilty of the crime of penis possession or something.
Somehow Kimmell would hold me guilty for my own abuse as "men cannot be raped, it's unwanted contact" according to Koss and somehow I was too "privileged" to be raped or something. I was brought off against my will.
Somehow Steinem Feminist rhetoric makes me a subhuman rapemonster worthy of death or something... Why?
Kidscape and Erin Pizzey report how the loud militant TERFy faction in Feminism sent death threats re the acknowledgement of male victims of dv and rape. Warren Farrell and Karen DeCrow were working towards reworking consent in the 1970s. Greer et al stood in the way of this. Greer goes further. She is on record as saying that as a victim of female perp rape, I should be incarcerated as a threat. FOR WHAT?!
Add how I used my own experience to describe how a predatory woman could use Valenti/Friedman Yes Means Yes rules to frame a man for his own rape at her hands. This comment in Valenti's ymy Guardian piece was upvoted 50 times in 90 minutes.. Then frantically deleted and I was put on premod.
Is someone trying to hide something?
And my main reaction to the activist side was also led by...
I don't know where i fit - or IF I fit...
Maybe this is not permitted ofr me to post - I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know..
Lord - I want off this planet.

For Bishops Finger.
Thanks, ArachnidinElmet.
For healing for Sister Alves.
For Jack the Lass’ certificates to reveal themselves. Also, sorry if this is a statement of the bleedin’ obvious, but I would suggest contacting each issuing institution now and requesting them to issue new copies posthaste.
For (((((Alex Cockell))))) If you will accept a hug from a self-identified radfem, ***I BELIEVE YOU***
For the Telemum.
I have been spending money like a drunken sailor lately. Oops. The Finance Monster is gnawing my leg.

Thanks Telepath. Tell you what, something you folks could do is join with the Egalitarian Feminists (new GRP) and apply a clue by four to Koss? Ellen Pence already said "oops I fucked up" re cognitive bias, and Susan Brownmiller has admitted to Erin Pizzey that she may have got some things wrong and scapegoated a load of guys...
Thanks for the support folks.

I am involved with three groups which could be described as feminist, but we all have fathers, husbands / partners, sons, nephews, grandsons, male friends, colleagues. Only a tiny, tiny minority of feminists are anti-men.

Praying for continued healing for all who post here, for God's healing work in my life, for these treasures and burdens I have put at the foot of the cross.
Praying for hope, for love and consolation, for C and for me, for the line of contact we have, and for this treasure and this burden I have put at the foot of the cross, a treasure of longing and a burden of loneliness.
Praying also for Ma and Pa Mad Cat
Amen.

And being the literal penguin I am - just going back... the "KILLALLMEN" from a Government minister had me in panic as I was terrified that I would be eventually forced to my knees, feel the muzzle of an SA80 rifle against the back of my skull - and my brains would be blown out by a female British Army soldier summarily for the crime of being born male.

May God unite us in prayer.
Have had a bad couple of days-- got out of town on Saturday, and the distance from the usual crap at home seemed to unleash something in me-- a memory about me and my sister set off a crying jag that lasted most of the day. Sunday wasn't much better.
I've mentioned on another thread the anger and retaliation I get from my mom when she catches me being visibly sad in front of her, and if you're wondering if the seriousness of the situation has softened her at all-- that would be a "no." My job is to provide attention, validation, and accomodation to everyone else, and God help me if I can't provide it.

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

They also happen to be the loudest. And the ones that get presented on the mainstream news media as The Feminist Voice cos everyone else in the camp don't shout them down publicly...
You can see how I was confused...

Alex,
You've described yourself as a "literal penguin", so I'm going to make this simple.
Do not use this thread to discuss feminism. No comments about the proportion of feminists are "anti-men", how loud their voice seems to you, or anything else.
I'll also repeat what you have been told before. These are public discussion boards, and as such they are a highly inappropriate place to discuss what are clearly very personal and painful issues. You have previously stated that you are seeking help elsewhere, that will be far better for you than any discussion on the Ship of Fools. I'm sure everyone here will join me in praying that this is helping you.

Slightly delayed due to the time it's taken me to process this, but then what is time to God...
Can I ask prayers for the soul of Ted Harris, who died of injuries sustained in a car crash last week. I didn't know him at all, but my wife and I were among the first on the scene (having coincidentally been driving the other way on the road at the time) and provided emergency first aid until the paramedics arrived. Really sad - though not 100% surprised given his injuries - that he didn't make it ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)

I have just received messages from two friends who know the power of Shipmates prayers.
Would you please keep baby Ella in your prayers. She is (IIRC) four months old and has liver failure. She is being rushed to Miami for a procedure which will hopefully keep her alive.
Also, Kim, the new daughter-in-law of another friend, is in the hospital with heart failure. She has had heart problems for most of her life, and only recently felt well enough to marry.
Thank you all for your vital ministry.
