JTO rips us all a new one for our indifference in the face of systemic corruption, both political and legal. It seems we’re all content to wait for someone else to fix it while we chow down on our cheese covered wacky fries watching the big game. When will men wake up and understand, that when the guy next to you on the firing line goes down, you’re next. [Image by Europa Phoenix]
Girl Writes What[GWW] offers a searing critique of the corrupt and out-of-control Maine Prosecutor Mary Kellett that will burn your ears and light a fire under your ass. Maybe if we had more women like GWW in the judicial system–who are capable of seeing injustice and calling it out–we wouldn’t have so many men being thrown into the family court abattoir. Sit back and enjoy the GWW burn.
Dan “DannyBoy” Perrins is deeply disappointed. He had plans to do more of his boots-on-the-ground video coverage and exposure of crypto-fascist hate groups like the RadFem conference leaders and attenders. Sadly, he has learned that they cancelled their event. We think they’ll probably find a way to blame us rather than the fact that they’re a bunch of professional hatemongers.
Neil Lyndon returns to AVfM’s with the text that formed the basis of a speech he gave Parity AGM in London talking about his vision of the “Family Union.” Lyndon is a progressive whose career as a journalist was destroyed 20 years ago for daring to question, in fairly mild terms, the rhetorical excesses and underlying assumptions of feminism. Fortunately, he hasn’t let them shut him up.
My sister Kitty aged 7 is currently prevented from seeing myself and our dad. I will never stop looking for her and informing her what was done to us. Sooner or later, somebody will have to explain to her why her family were taken away from her for no reason. We love you Kitty. [Aimee Nicholls Portrait by Jennie Nystedt.

Women are oppressed in Islamic nations like Afghanistan, huh? Well as is so often the case, gynocentric attitudes frequently prevent us from looking at the situation through the lens of both sexes. Contributing Editor Karen Straughan, in her calm fact-and-logic based manner, eviscerates and challenges things even many men’s advocates believe. It just ain’t so simple.[Illustration by Typhonblue]
Phyllis Schlafly, the traditionalist who destroyed the Equal Rights Amendment[ERA], played right into feminist hands by paving the way for all manner of feminist hypocrisy to go unchallenged. Proof that being “anti-feminist” and “giving a damn about men” are not synonymous. And that this hydra has many, many heads.
Can you imagine a Texas Death Match between two modern icons of gender feminism? How about Julia Gillard and Ranty Minx of Cry Me a River, Shut the fuck up, fuck-face fame? It is better than mud or Jell-O wrestling folks, and you are only going to find it here, at A Voice for Men. Stella!! [Illustration by Typhonblue]
Maybe you can abuse men too much! Jim Muldoon dissects the fallout from the surprise ouster of Australian PM Julia Gillard and discovers real reasons for hope. Feminism’s rancor is starting to hit real-world limits, and the men of Australia are taking notice. The rest of us should take notice, too.
It is accepted wisdom that women are and always have been oppressed. Indeed, this belief is so common it doesn’t even qualify as “feminist” anymore. Jim Muldoon suspects he might enjoy being oppressed. We think we might like being oppressed too; it looks like a pretty good gig. [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
