Promo for the Sacks show

Posted on by

Glenn Sacks has posted his promo for Sunday’s radio program (scroll down a bit).  Here’s the bulk of it:

According to Gender Studies professor

Dr. Hugo Schwyzer, Ph.D., a member of the
National
Organization for Men Against Sexism, the
emerging men’s rights
movement is a reactionary expression of deep-seated societal
misogyny and homophobia.

According to Dr. Schwyzer, talk show host/columnist
Glenn Sacks is part of the problem–a "purveyor of a victim
mentality for men" who "masks men’s own responsibility" for
their problems and who "lashes out at those, such as feminists,
who call men to accountability for their actions." Schwyzer
also labels Sacks a "denier of male privilege," adding "just
because a group doesn’t feel privileged doesn’t mean that they
aren’t."

Schwyzer, an accredited speaker for
Men Can Stop Rape
who teaches Gay and Lesbian history and Western Civ. at Pasadena
City College, laments that "one of the problems with being a
man involved with the pro-feminist men’s movement is that we
often get mixed up with the men’s rights activists who are virulently
anti-feminist."   

Schwyzer will attack Glenn and the men’s
movement on His Side with
Glenn Sacks on Sunday, January 23 at 5 PM PST/8 PM EST.

My goodness, I highly doubt I’m going to be attacking anyone.  On the other hand, Sacks accurately characterizes my criticisms both of the men’s rights movement and of his own denial of male privilege.

The emails from his fans — an earnest lot, I’ll say that — have begun to pile up in my inbox.  I note that while some are nasty, most (so far) see me as a hopelessly misguided (but perhaps well-intentioned) fellow who just needs a little "enlightenment."

  1. The emails from his fans — an earnest lot, I’ll say that — have begun to pile up in my inbox. I note that while some are nasty, most (so far) see me as a hopelessly misguided (but perhaps well-intentioned) fellow who just needs a little “enlightenment.”

    Sounds about right.

  4. Well, I’ll definitely have to think about wearing boots to Sunday’s show. I may have some old Doc Martens in the closet. But if I really want to feel confident, I’ll put on an old pair of New Balance 833s, a pair from a marathon. They’re good luck!
