The pervasiveness of feminist backlash never ceases to amaze me. Apparently men in Mexico are planning a rally to “demand their rights.” Ok…what rights are those? I’m game…

Lorenzo da Firenze and his followers, a group called the Masculine Circle, say the arrival of feminism is making wimps out of the modern Mexican man. They are calling for the men of Mexico City to take to the streets…

“It's time to stop the belligerent stand women have taken against men,” says da Firenze...

Firstly, I’m not going even to touch the “Masculine Circle” thing…it’s just too easy. I just like how this guy’s version of standing up for men’s rights has nothing to do with elevating men in some way and everything to do with putting women “back in their place.”

But wait, it gets better:

…da Firenze insists that men are the victims. “The Feminist Conspiracy” is the title of his latest book, which he hopes will lay the foundation for a movement to reclaim men's rights. Subtitled “Encyclopedia of the Third World War: Women Attack Men,” the cover features a series of female figures with the heads of animals, including snakes and alligators.

Oh my god. I want a cool animal head!

But da Firenze’s talents don’t stop at the Doctor Moreau-like fantasies of a worldwide gender war. He also has the amazing ability to explain violence against women…

“Why are women so quick to (unleash) verbal and psychological violence on men?” he said. “When a woman goes to trial and tells the jury her husband hit her, O.K., what came before that? It's what we would classify as female verbal violence.”

Hear that ladies? If you don’t want to get hit, you just shouldn’t talk—it’s as simple as that!

Luckily, this total nutjob isn’t being taken very seriously by the lady-folks over in Mexico. I love the response of Angeles Mendoza from Mexico City when asked about men trying to get back their rights: “It sounds illogical to me…When did they lose them? Where did they leave them?”
