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.
In Man of Steel, perennial plucky reportor Lois Lane is portrayed as a ball-busting loudmouth and has become a feminist icon. Jared White points out that when the consequences are dire most ball busting loud mouths turn out to be a useless sack of wet spam and Lois Lane is no exception, sassy-girl quips and all.

News sources in Canada explode with coverage of Men’s Rigths Edmonton’s “Don’t Be That Girl” poster campaign is targeted by campus feminists at the University of Alberta. Fallout is expected to be huge. But will it have a positive outcome for the MHRM? That just might be up to you.

Robert St. Estephe brings us another installment of his ground breaking Unknown History of Misandry. This time he documents the phenomena of female judges who came out against the misandry in the court system–yep, misandry in family and criminal law has a long and sordid history–way back when.
