It’s a common cultural stereotype to say that men are “good for nothing.” But after all the things men have given to civilization, and looking around at the current cultural zeitgeist, Jason Gregory dares to flip the question around. What is it that you, as a woman, are good for exactly? And if that question makes you angry, it may just mean you don’t have a good answer. [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Slutwalks are regular events these days, especially in college towns. They’re supposed to teach us that raping women is bad. Which is very helpful, since we had no idea that was a bad thing. Dan Perrins attended one such educational event lately, and reports how much he learned. Rape is bad. Rape hysteria is good. Even if it kills!
Lucian Vâlsan is a bad, bad man, and we are ashamed to know him. This time, the shameful awful Vâlsan is picking on poor innocent delicate Swedish girls, and siding with the horrible bullies who dare criticize them. Bad Lucian! Naughty Lucian! Nobody should read this article! Trigger warning: delicate ladies may need a fainting couch!

Kaitlyn Hunt is persecuted. Persecuted by a misogynist, homophobic society that wants to bring the hammer down on her for statutory rape. After all how could a pretty little blond be a sexual predator? Slip this one in the “it only matters when it happens to women” file.

Karen Straughan, aka Girl Writes What was asked to deliver an address to the New York State Libertarian Convention. She delivered indeed. This overview of gender and modern politics is one of the most complete and exceptional works ever offered to the literature of the MHRM.
British journalist Melissa Kite, a shopworn maladroit of a wannabe mother is now hearing her shelf-life tick down to reproductive extinction. Men, it seems, especially the ones who get to know her, don’t want to produce children with her. Of course, it has nothing to do with her. It’s all men’s fault.
The honey badger parade continues as Diana Davison offers up some analysis and some poetry on female power and male disposability. For anyone out there interested in understanding why women become MHRAs, now would be a good time to shut up and read.
Dianne Abbott is concerned about men. More specifically she is concerned about their masculinity; especially when she thinks on some level that it may affect women. Well, actually only when she thinks it will affect women. Correction: Dianne Abbott isn’t concerned about men at all.
