Is it “rape apology” to try to stop the false reporting of a rape that never happened? Feminists and some government officials think it is, but clearly, they are nuts. Karen Straughan (GirlWritesWhat) brings some sanity and even has distinct policy suggestions that will reduce the crime of rape. Are you listening, feminists? Or are you too interested in shaming men’s sexuality instead?
As the common authorities on what is and is not rape, which victims are to blame for their abuse and whether certain sexual assaults are really rape or just sorta not quite rape, feminists seem to employ a lot of double standards. Of course we all know that they have our best interests at heart when they decide who was and wasn’t raped, and their decisions aren’t politically motivated. Promise. [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Although there are racial dimensions to men’s human rights issues, all races of men suffer from injustices generated by our gynocentric culture. With the race-obsession over the George ZImmerman/Trayvon Martin affair, a lot of people missed some much deeper issues. August Løvenskiolds has a look at the inherent sexism, and possible homophobia, in the much-ballyhooed story that most people seem to have missed. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
Sometimes, men need to regain some perspective – back away from the fray, take some deep breaths, and re-center themselves around that one thing that matters most in all the universe – the vagina. The galactic spiral of cosmic creation positively drips with reverence for the goddess-mummy-lover, and a worthy Jason Gregory seeks to kiss the ring of power in all its divine, scientific glory-holiness. May the limp dicks abide forever. [Lines by Europa; Spot colour by Typhonblue]
Mary Kellett is suspended then gets her suspension suspended. Justice Gorman has essentially cleared Kellett of all charges and Kellett’s only punishment was to say (paraphrased) “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. Promise.” Before the decision was handed down Filler gave a moving statement about how Kellett’s criminal actions have permanently damaged his and his children’s lives. After the judgement Kellett was unavailable for comment.
A law office representing a group calling itself SAVE (Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton, not to be confused with Stop Abusive and Violent Environments) recently wrote to A Voice for Men demanding that we doxx members, take down political satire, and stop using the phrase “Don’t Be That…” This is a contemptible attempt at legal intimidation, and we will not kowtow to such bullying–ever.

There has been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in Camp Feminist over the sacking of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Australia. Is seems those mean old misogynists are at it again, and White Knights are needed to ride to her rescue – but only the crickets seem to care. Jim Muldoon explores “The Reality” – the real one. Can’t a weak widdle damsel get a break these days? [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Posters with the message to false rape accusers, “Don’t be that girl” are, according to executive director of Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton, Karen Smith, disappointing, inaccurate, rape-apologia and uncouth satire. We thought they are bringing attention to a crime, you know, a crime Karen says doesn’t exist. Or maybe Karen Smith is a fucking liar. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
Demonizing a class of people for the crimes of a few is the hallmark of hate, and the tool of racists, sexists, and…feminists? Our gynocentric culture is quietly accepting of the routine hatred of men as a class, but awareness of this insidious malady is starting to spread, and Janet Bloomfield has had just about enough of it. Oh, boy, has she. Watch out, haters, the Judgy Bitch is in the house.
Jessica Valenti asks the question “Did you ever try to talk at one of those man-things about feminism but his shocked and terrified look indicated he didn’t comply with your viewpoint sufficiently?” August Løvenskiolds says feminists should show how much of a strong, independent women they are by ditching the damseling. Show, don’t tell, Jessica.
