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]
On June 28, Lucian Vâlsan, Huffnágel Pista and James Huff will be talking about the European Union and its twin correspondent, the Council of Europe. Two institutions who have been working to strip men of their rights in Europe for the last 20 years. Well, not all your rights as a man. You’ll still have the right to be a feminist!
A “Jaguar” is supposed to be an older woman who is independent, stands on her own, and expects nothing from men except a good time and maybe an equal partnership. Do you think you find many of those for real at places like Jezebel, or just self-entitled bitches who pretend to be like that?[Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Wall Street Journal writer James Taranto recently provoked outrage from feminist ideologues across western culture by doing what always seems to get their dander up. He gave an honest assessment of sexual politics in the modern age. It drove them fucking nuts. Diana Davison ties up the loose ends. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
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?
Twenty years ago today, Lorena Bobbitt took a kitchen knife and severed her husband John’s penis, then driving off and tossing it in a field. The result was not a nation shocked and outraged at a sexual mutilation, but a comical reaction from a culture of violence against men, particularly sexual violence. Piece Harlan delivers a stunning review of events. [Illustration by Europa Phoenix]
Women who have a history of bashing men, spreading lies about men, and pretending to be oppressed by men are also big on whinging about what’s wrong with modern men and what men have to do to make their lives better. A Grumpy Old Man takes them to task, and rather effectively we’d say. We also say it’s about time.
