The Get of SOWs

"Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a
prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail
messages without disclosing your true identity.

In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog
as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small
favors, I guess.

This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet,
is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of
Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and
two years in prison.

"The use of the word 'annoy' is particularly problematic," says Marv
Johnson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.
"What's annoying to one person may not be annoying to someone else."

Buried deep in the new law is Sec. 113, an innocuously titled bit
called "Preventing Cyberstalking." It rewrites existing telephone
harassment law to prohibit anyone from using the Internet "without
disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy."

took a while to work its way through the System's moo-goo, but we're
beginning to see the results of the Status on Women's (Canada)
machinations, which i predicted were pavestones for future anti-male
legislation throughout North America

so here ya go boys . . . how you like this Boot in the balls? eh?

notice that the broadening of telephone harassment to the Internet
mandates disclosure of **"his"** identity and "intent to annoy"

this language is not accidental, and it's included as part of the
renewed Violence Against Women Act specifically to build sufficient
legal and propagandistic "bridges" to intimidate and criminalize any
current or potential men's movement

the leaders of our nation -- CONSERVATIVES! -- have just massively
broadened the demonization of males, especially of Uppity Males, and
have politicized the Internet by criminalizing opponents of feminism

i mean . . . you think this country is gonna start putting WOMEN in
prison for "annoying" men on the Web?

if you believe that, then you must also think, like some "men's
activists," that lobbying and schmoozing the US Congress -- that
citadel of matriarchy -- for "gender-neutrality" in the VAWA was an
achievable goal, a productive tactic, and a sane use of resources

what ARE you people taking? rush limbaugh "jujubees"?!

those billions of dollars in VAWA are going to buy "ARMAMENTS" with
which to WAGE WAR on american boys and men, just like the previous
billions of dollars did . . . more mancages, more d.v. centers, more
cultural programming, more cops, more Victimocracy . . . are we
starting to smell the coffee yet? why are you asking these pussies for
ANYTHING??

*** their foul hides, they better hope that god they keep yapping
about doesn't exist

given that VAWA's new code sections -- not to mention its massive
re-funding -- passed an ultra-conservative Congress and White House,
the American right-wing must be considered an adversary of this
nation's boys and men

may this post ANNOY the FLAMING *** out of feminists and male
punklings everywhere
