Twitter introduction:

Feminism has normalized hatred, the violation of rights, and institutional abuse against men. And this must be denounced. For all good men.

Statement to the Madrid City Council announcing a new initiative, “Elimination of hateful discourse against men, and for the active defense of equality and dignity.”

This Initiative is for all the good men, for all the decent men. Workers who have given everything for their families, who represent the majority of men. For all the men who have lived, who now live, and will live, who face the hell of feminism in their lives.

For all those good men whose lives were normal, with their work, their sorrows, their happiness. Until one day, a woman decided to ruin their life and accuse them of violence.

For all those men who have spent nights in jail, because of a woman in the space of “Equality” at the Madrid City Hall. Those Centers where they tell women that men are oppressing them, that love and marriage oppress them, that tell lies about him in order to destroy him.

Nights in jail because CAPSEM, the Center of the City Hall to Assist Women, issued a report based solely on a woman’s word without any proof, in order that the Community of Madrid would grant her a false accreditation of victimization, with the accompanying financial payments.

For all those good men, because of these false accusations — which are supported by the gender laws — who have lived, now live, and will live, who are vilified and experience incarceration, sleepless nights, severe stress, depression, loss of hair, loss of teeth, thoughts of suicide, loss of their honor and good name, and above all, loss of their children.

For all those men who couldn’t tolerate this any longer, who left us half-way in their lives, and are now looking at us from heaven.

For all these good men, I insist that the majority who are seen as innocent, good fathers, good sons – they are criminalized every day by the institutions. Many times, through hate-filled speech, so normalized that the woman remains free.

And many times, by means of active policies — like the Law of Gender Violence, the Law of Sexual Freedom, the Violet Points, the Municipal Network Against Gender Violence, the municipal campaigns, the Madrid Zero Violence Program — that claim that violence is one-directional, always from the man to the woman.

Policies that also presume a business that moves millions, that impose a false narrative on the collective conscious, that the man is always the aggressor.

I wish I could erase all the pain, all the injustice. I wish I could erase every lie, every tear. But we cannot.

What we can do is raise our voices to defend them. What you can do, as persons who govern, is to return their dignity to all the men in Madrid and in Spain. To those who treat them by law in an unequal way, those who have stolen so many of their rights, even regarding their children.

You can eliminate all hateful speech, you can visualize their suffering and their pain. When they are murdered by their wives, give them the minute of silence that you are currently denying them. You can and should return to them the presumption of innocence, their honor, and their decency.

This Initiative is not for the aggressors – for them, jail and stronger punishments.

This Initiative is for all the good men, like Jesús, Rafa, Carlos, Pablo, Carliños, Miguel Angel. So some day they can live in peace and equality, recovering their pride as persons, recovering the love of their children, and recovering the respect that society owes them, which never should have been taken from them.
