Promo for the Sacks show

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."

Sounds about right.

Hopelessly misguided?

Yep!

Definitely misguided. Your boot belongs on the neck, not on the floor. Poor thing.

[Hugo Schwyzer]

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!

I dare you to go in drag. Oh please oh please oh pleeease...

[Hugo Schwyzer]

Thisgirl, good idea, but I wouldn't want Glenn Sacks to stumble... wouldn't be very Christian of me.

I can picture his face now... oh the hilarity
