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. It seems somethings never change. [Illustration by Typhonblue]
Forty percent of India’s population – millions of people – are impoverished. The nation has an epidemic of hunger, and thousands of homeless, mostly men. The government has decided to address the issue by initiating a food stamp program. The problem? They’re only giving food stamps to each household’s eldest female resident. This will leave thousands of men starving.
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]
Psychotherapist Tom Golden brings us the second part of a four-part series of articles about the bias against men and boys in psychological research, along with a video companion to the series. This one is a keeper for your reference library. Original image courtesy of Typhon Blue.
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!
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]
Maureen O’Conner is clearly not a bad writer, and it turns out, not an emotionally arrested toddler either. She’s a member of the special people, one of those who determine when a man’s sexuality is appropriate. Inappropriate are men like Andy Hind. Maybe even men like you. Or maybe, just maybe, she isn’t so special after all, and should go fuck herself.
Psychotherapist Tom Golden has spent many years treating men in need of help. He finds much of his own profession greatly lacking both in terms of how they treat men who are suffering, but even in how they bother to research men’s issues. He begins his exploration here in Part 1 of an ongoing series: Misandry in Psychology.
Ah, the weather is warming up, the coats and sweaters are coming off, outdoor events are being scheduled as people are shaking off the last of the winter cold. Summer is in the air, and it is time for a Slutwalk. That is fine with Dan Perrins, who has plans to attend, and some questions to ask.
