And now, after the SPLC, Jezebel.com, the great and exceedingly fat David Futrelle and other giants like Johann the Cabbie have tried and failed to end Paul Elam’s rein of terror in the world of sexual politics, big bad alpha dog Jake Pentland pledges to bring ruin to the legend. Be there.
There are some significant changes coming to the AVFM site in the not too distant future. Some of those changes will affect the commenting system Paul Elam is requesting your opinion on what those changes should be. This is your chance to be heard before we implement the new procedures.

Mary Elizabeth Williams decided to thrown her opinion into the mix about the suicide death of Earl Silverman. If you ask Paul Elam, he is not surprised at what she had to say, but he would have preferred that she not say it anyway. More in the aftermath of the Silverman tragedy.
After taking some time to reflect on the life and death of Earl Silverman, Paul Elam has some thoughts and a few changes that are being made to site policy at A Voice for Men. It is time, according to Elam, to focus more on the activism and less on the distractions.
In memory of Earl Silverman, there will be no new posts to AVFM until Monday morning, Central Time US. RIP Earl. From everyone at A Voice for Men
The world lost a good man today. Earl Silverman, after twenty years of trying to find support to run a battered men’s shelter in Canada, called it quits and cashed in his own chips. AVFM Managing Editor Dean Esmay is angry about it. We can’t find any reason under the stars to blame him. RIP Earl.
