Dr. Helen Smith offered a no-nonsense straight-on logical piece here on AVfM recently giving 8 very concrete reasons why men should not marry in today’s climate. August Løvenskiolds offers up his own somewhat more subjective, vastly more snarky list of reasons why it’s women who should be on bended knees begging, not the other way around.
Jim Doyle(Gingko) tells us all about the radical feminist group Redstockings who were the first to shame men for refusing to cowtow to pussy power. See? MGTOW shaming has a long and storied history among feminists. Of course the men the Redstockings shamed were gay. [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Stu is an MHRA who has been watching the Men’s Human Rights Movement for a long time now. He is also a big supporter of AVfM who has never written and article for the site, until now. He has some thoughts on what AVFM has accomplished in the past, and where we are going in the future. And he wants you to help. You can, you know.
The weekend is over, the Monday grind begins. So to start your week off right, here’s a roundup of stories and videos and news items and other goodies you may have missed while you were away this weekend, or that may have glazed past your eye in the last week. Oh and a few off-site links, and the story of the tiny fuckup that wouldn’t go away.
August Løvenskiolds pays us a visit from the future, both looking back on us in the past, and issues a lesson in the lexicon to come in the acronym happy environment at AVFM, one particular corner of the MHRM. But one has to wonder, as we look into the future through the eyes of a man writing his history. Why no mention of the GMP?
Are you addicted to gynocentric outrage? Have you ever woken up amid waded up kleenex, spent tubs of ice cream and crumpled printouts of the latest Facebook damsel in distress to a message from your boss firing you for missing work three days in a row? And all you could think of was to turn on Oprah? August Løvenskiolds offers a suggestion to turn your life around.
Howdy y’all. Have a good weekend? We hope you did, and whether you did or didn’t, we hope this roundup of everything interesting that’s happened on AVfM the last week will give you a stimulating start to your week! That’s right, Dean Esmay is back with the Monday Roundup! What goodies does he have in store for us this time?
Scholar and Man Going His Own Way Peter Wright has a look at people’s ideas about love and marriage throughout history, and concludes that much of what we today call “romance” is a historical aberration starting in the middle ages with the concept of courtly love and the image of white knights on bended knee, begging for a token from their Lady.
August Løvenskiolds throws a question into the MGTOW ring. If a savvy, monied man can’t chose the right woman, what chance does the average man have? And why make it worse by shaming Mr. Average for throwing in the towel when Mr. Ultra Successful gets KO’d in the first round at Divorce Court?
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.
