Feminists Destroy Male Knitter

I STRONGLY URGE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE READING! IT TRULY HELPS EXPLAIN!



Now, you may not agree with everything I say, nor even any of my opinions for that matter. We can beautifully, or even harshly disagree with each other. Yes, we can get into fights, get into heated rows that may strain the hope of ever having a friendship. But, once this video was posted, the issue got even nastier. We wanted to put this behind us. They banned me from the group (which they have every right to), and after they followed me to my Facebook page and kept up the madness, I started blocking them (which I hated to do, because I wanted people to see both sides, but their side was skewed with misinformation and lack of emotional reasoning). But, there you have it. 

I then posted a motion that we simply move on. We're going to use our craft for some benefit, for some truly good cause that was non-political. We were finished, right? Putting better energy into the world, right?



Apparently not. The same members of the group decided they weren't finished with me yet. Now, they had purposely decided to destroy my career. They were not going to give up because, as one person said it, "there is no place in the world for a homophic, transphobic, sexist like him." So, they apparently went on a campaign to not only ruin my career, but to financially cripple me. Yes, they wanted to see the once and former homeless man homeless again to prove a point, that you were not disagree with them, and that any disagreement would be cause for absolute annihilation of character, finances, and reputation using quotes out of context and misinformation. Basically, they didn't want to see me silenced, they didn't want me to work again. This screen shot was sent to me so that I could see exactly what they had called for. An absolute ban on not only my work, but my livelihood, as well. As you can see, this feminist group decided they were going to direct people to my work for the sole purpose of downgrading it with bad reviews. Well, I thought that was silly, you have to buy the book in order to review it, right? Which would mean, I get paid, so who cares. I still get paid....Apparently not. Anyone can write a review, even if they haven't read the book. 

 

This morning, I woke up to find this on Amazon.



Yes, in a matter of hours, they had taken to Amazon in strong numbers to destroy it's ranking with negative reviews. I have reported each of the reviews to Amazon as abuse, but who knows how long it will take for them to respond, or reply, or even take them down. If she wanted to screw me, financially, she has done a pretty good job. This is another moment where a conservative who disagrees with a liberal has no chance for survival. Who knows how many books were not purchased because of the reviews? Who knows what publisher might be looking at my work and feel it's a dud in the water (the book had some really GOOD reviews), but the most recent are the one star reviews, pretty much where people would decide if they want to buy it or not. I did have something of a partnership I was working on with a larger company, and I can pretty much say that is probably not going to happen now, because when you're trying to market to knitters, you're probably marketing to a large number of women, and the last thing they want is a partnership with a man is who is "sexist, transphobic, and misogynistic. (It's funny, I've spelled and seen "misogynistic" so many times in the last 3 days that I no longer need spellcheck to get it right). Now, keep in mind, throughout this whole episode, and even in my videos, I never named any names. Because I didn't want to cause any one to go and harass them. That was until I saw that one individuals post and realized that if they were going to proudly announce who they were, then I had no problem helping them out. The original screen shot on my Facebook page, DOES have her name. 

They only think I can do is to sue her for any income I might have lost because she purposely mislead people, using my own words in order to get rid of me, because again, apparently the world has no place for people like me. And when you hear a statement like that, is it just that they want you ruined? Or for you to not even exist? It's a frightening situation. But, maybe that would be too expensive? Who knows what kind of income we'll have right now. Maybe the only thing we can do is.....go away? I mean, what do we do? Phillip says we should start a "Go Fund Me" for legal bills.  We may have to use those funds for rent, we may have to use those funds for a number of reasons because of what this whole ordeal may have cost me. 
We have to clarify, that we are being told by third parties she is posting that she has contacted the police because I harassed her, a lawyer for something, and that I know full well she has a child at home. So, again. With everything that has happened, I may have to hire an attorney, NOT TO SUE HER NECESSARILY, but because I just may have to defend myself. She says to others she will not contact me because her lawyer told her not to. I'm not going to be bullied and I'm not going to let her play the victim card now. Yes, now it's my fault. And she's crying in the corner, having to change her name and promote victimization for being treated unfairly because she's just a fragile woman. And I have to put down my knitting needles to defend myself. Well, game on, darling. I will raise the funds to fight you back. I'm not going down without a really good legislative fight.

If you are really REALLY tired of being bullied by people who don't agree with your political beliefs to the point of ruining your career, by all means, PLEASE share. Because for everyone one of us they take down, someone else that disagrees with them is next, using wildly exaggerated campaigns to erase the fact the you even existed.  If they wanted to frighten us, they succeeded. If they wanted to hurt us financially, they succceeded. If they want us to go away and never be heard from again, I'm putting up a fight. And you can help us win it.
We are using these funds to hire a legal defense team to go after the woman that has decided to defame and slander me in public.
