The horror of human trafficking has been repeatedly distorted in the U.S. public by feminist protests against the sex industry. The image of the crime is one of greedy and lustful men forcing women into prostitution or captivity in foreign lands. The truth is marginalized people being exploited for labor. Meschael Alayban’s alleged crime reminds that women are slavers too. Bet we won’t hear much about that fact in the MSM. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
The United States Constitution includes assurances against violation of citizens’ personal freedoms, including freedom from unlawful search and seizure. Police in Nevada decided that investigation of a domestic violence report supersedes all of those rights. Was the Violence Against Women act intended to fight alleged abuse with abuse of power? Do we even need to ask?
Mary Kellett, the corrupt prosecutor in Maine, may still escape justice. AVfM has received word that a backroom deal has been struck for Kellett. With little advance notice, a hearing for Kellett was scheduled for the morning of Monday, July 15th in Portland, Maine. The system is protecting one of its own at the expense of men like Vladek Filler and we need your help.
BBC Women’s hour presents an information session on male victims of domestic violence. Well, no, actually, they don’t. They present a MISinformation session on how to perpetuate domestic violence apologia, blame victims for their own abuse and marginalize already marginalized group–male victims of domestic violence. Is anyone surprised at this point?
In a rather surprising turn of events, a violent woman was actually treated as a criminal in an American court of law. Katherine Kieu-Becker, the infamous California woman who cut off her husbands penis for asking for a divorce, was sentenced to life in prison for her misdeeds yesterday.
Dean Esmay, Erin Pizzey and Dr. Helen Smith hold a brief discussion about men, marriage and modern sexual politics. It is a great discussion and also shows how much work Dean Esmay does to reach out to a variety of people for their input into the work that we do in the MHRM.
Caleb Levette and his son Parker have just put on a real life, flesh and blood clinic in self-autonomy and freedom from the tyranny of family courts, as well as the abuse from custodial parents that those courts often foster and enable. AVFM honors and salutes these modern day heroes.
PZ Myers, no stranger to fuckwitery, really pulls out all the stops in this latest stunt. While having one of his blow-hard online discussions, this one about the Facebook censorship campaign, PZed actually tells a rape joke during a discussion on how to censor other people for doing the same. Fuck you, PZed.
A man tells a man’s story in a man’s way, with no apologies, no excuses and no caving in to the many messengers of shame when it comes to men discussing abuse at the hands of women. This video is advocacy as art, and we are happy to feature it on the front page of A Voice for Men.
The most comprehensive review of the scholarly domestic violence research literature ever conducted concludes, among other things, that women perpetrate physical and emotional abuse, as well as engage in control behaviors, at comparable rates to men. Says a recent news release.
