The disappearance of Christine Armstrong: run David run

As some of you may recall, I recently posted an article about Christina Armstrong, the Communications Director of The Lighthouse, a run of the mill domestic violence services organization in Robertsdale, Alabama.

As I said in the article, Armstrong was posting over at David Futrelle’s website, manboobz.com, under the username Christine.  Her contributions to the discussion there included the inference that I was a rapist, that the men’s movement was regarded by the justice department as an “abusers lobby,” and that our respected colleague W.F. Price of The-Spearhead.com should be targeted for investigation by the FBI and placed on some sort of watch list.  She also tacitly predicted that at some point in the future that violent acts against women would be attributed to the MRM.

As someone who wondered why a person in Armstrong’s position, that ostensibly of a public servant, would be spending their time making libelous claims about strangers in a forum dedicated to little else but making libelous claims about strangers in a public forum, I felt compelled to see what would happen if the tables were turned and the lights were put on Armstrong.

The only condition I set for myself was that rather than invest in wild speculation about Armstrong’s sexual proclivities, or her relative danger to society around her, that I would just focus on what I could prove about her, as directly demonstrated by her posting to Futrelle’s site.

It appears that was enough to shut her up. And where it concerns this matter, even the Manboob is putting a sock in it. Must be like eating glass for the smug bastard.

And now it appears that Futrelle is trying to create the illusion on his site that none of it ever happened.  He has pathetically instructed the faithful at Manboobz that the subject is verboten. And Christina seems to have fallen off planet Manboob altogether. From all appearances, she no longer posts there, much less making slanderous remarks against myself or Mr. Price.

Looks damned good on the both of them.

Now, I don’t delude myself into thinking that this is any kind of major victory. Armstrong is still listed on the contact page of the Lighthouse’s website as being on staff there.  So she is almost undoubtedly still part of a program that operates on the myth that male victims of domestic abuse and their children don’t exist.

But I do think that Christina Armstrong now serves as a great object lesson, demonstrating the truth in the adage, “Cockroaches scatter when you turn on the light.”

And while she is no more significant to the big picture than a blowhard comment commando like Futrelle, she is now made more valuable to us in her cowardly, or perhaps instructed, absence.

This is just a small warning to anyone in DV services or any other industry part and parcel to feminist governance.

Futrelle: One picture is worth a thousand jelly doughnuts

If you’re going to fuck with bloggers in the MRM you better not let us find out who you are, because we are not going to put up with it.

Futrelle is at little risk from making irresponsible assertions on the internet about people he doesn’t know.  His once mediocre writing career looks to be over. A Google search on his name is now far less than flattering. The image search is even more dismal. Being a net wide butt of ten thousand jokes is not really the creds most blue pill hack factories are looking for.

But people in positions where they actually have something to lose are a different matter entirely.  We can’t stop them from practicing general misandry, but we can do a lot about direct attacks on people that involve false allegations and histrionic calls for Gestapo intervention.

I am not a Dixie Chicks fan, but I can still tap my toes to “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

    What if say, someone were to investigate the finances of the Lighthouse. I mean if there’s nothing to hide, they should make it public information, right?

    This is what happens when you cast aspersions towards MRA’s.
    We aim for the chinks in the armour.

    Come on over and go toe to toe in an honest debate, but don’t hide behind your manboobz.

    (“Not Ready to Make Nice” was written by Natalie Maines about her estrangement from her mother.)

    (As someone who’s dabbled in the market, Futrelle’s finance articles weren’t very good. Like most of those journaiist hacks, he has no idea what really goes on at company ABC, Inc., he just speculates and makes it sound like fact…, like his website.)

    Great work as usual – you go Paul!
    But seriously, this should make the point, subtly, maybe not so subtly, that the manosphere is angry. All that “making nice” has gone out the window, the gloves are off and the gauntlets have come on.
    And Keyster, I agree – no more hiding behind boobs, male ones or otherwise. If they want a fight, they should spoil for a good, honest ruckus in the open, not making pot shots in the dark!

    OT but funny and true:

    Before you click on the cartoon please read the story that inspired it.

    Many years ago me and a bunch of good friends got together one night and got totally bent on some weed. A new addition to the group that night was a very attractive lass that none of us had met before.

    She was the new fiance of a good mate that was there and he brought her along to meet us. Anyway, he was a medical student at the time and was pretty doe-eyed about her.

    So he gets up and goes to the toilet and when he leaves the room she flops back in her beanbag and sighs loudly. With a big smile on her face she turns to the person next to her and says “Ah, I am marrying a doctor, now I can have anything I want.”

    Yeah she said that.

    Then I got this image in my head of her in the supermarket buying up in bulk.
    I swear it I laughed so hard I was a teary jibbering mess.

    About a week later he was told about what she said and he dumped her quick as can be.

    By sheer coincidence I saw her a dozen years later in a different city.
    She was so huge I didn’t recognise her at first, but then I heard her distinct screeching laugh and so took a closer look.
    Yikes it was her – no bloody doubt about it.

    Over the years I have had the image I got that night pop in to my head from time to time and bugger it, why not share it eh ?

    ..so I have and here it is for you to have a chuckle.

  8. So the lying, woman worshiping, hypocritical jackass is ordering people on his site not to speak of a blog post that points out the blatant misandry a feminist displayed on his site.

    Hmm…

    Kinda ironic, seeing as how his site is dedicated to painting everyone in and involved with the MRM as woman haters…I did say he was hypocritical right?

    Just checking.

    Just goes to show that when you create a website dedicated to running a smear campaign on a group of people without acknowledging the bigots within your own movement…

    Well…

    You get your ass handed to you.

    Oh and if that is an actual picture of Futrelle it brings a whole new meaning to the term “manboobz” when talking about his site. The correct meaning if I do say so myself.

  12. I just googled “abusers lobby”. it is imperative to follow this and respond to this accordingly with head on informative articles and activism.

    You may consider adding it to your Google Alerts key word news aggregator. This way when the word appears we will be able to show up with comments on articles that spill such hatred and bigotry. There is a lot of money wrapped up in the abuse industry. These people have a lot to lose and they know it. Men will remain the sacrificial lambs for their sustenance unless confronted.

        • He also refuses to commit to anything, even his own opinions. He dances and dodges around every discussion. I posted semi regularly there for few weeks, in which time I managed to force 3 of his avid followers to admit that the MRM has valid concerns and that feminism has done some grave wrongs to men. Dave stopped responding to me except in the most general of replies. But I got bored of some of his fanatical mangina’s (it was the men that were the worst) being nothing but belligerent, without an intelligent thing to say, especially when his reasonable regulars disappeared after chocking out those confessions.

          I need to find another low traffic feminist stomping ground to stomp through (low traffic cause I don’t have as much time as I’d like to dedicate).

    Furtrelle and so many of his regulars are making frequent false allegations and insinuations about us all, and often an origional post will have nothing to do with rape or domestic abuse and his contributers will tie it in anyway.

    I think that a lot of feminists are in a shock and in a bit of fear right now actually. I got on Twitter a couple of weeks ago and I’ve debated with several feminists, I got several men and even a few women to come over here and to watch manwomanmyth’s videos. I’ve tried to contact many prominent feminists on Twitter but none of them have responded. Oh well, I will continue to contact men and women and engage them in discussions.
    Anyway, I’ve gone of on a tangent. What I’m saying is that I think that they are a bit nervous because they’re starting to see that we do not just back down when they make a personal attack and call us a misogynist. That doesn’t silence us anymore.

    I try to remind myself that they are the bad guy, they have gotten it wrong, so they can try all they want with their shaming language but that won’t work because I’m one of the few people who get it.

    • The shift in consciousness is that there are a growing number of men impervious to personal attacks, shame tactics and fear of social rejection.

      We’ve risen above all of those feminist/leftist elements of controlling the debate. It doesn’t work anymore and they don’t know how to react to it.

            I didn’t CALL anybody a definite extremist, I said when you only consider one ideology or political view to the exclusion to any other potentially viable point of view ie; far right or far left, you tend to polarize your beliefs and become inflexible and that; most definitely can lead to extreme behavior and extreme conclusions.

            There is some truth in unpopular and popular belief, if you just consider one perspective you become polarized. Many who do refuse to consider valid points from outside their preferred perspective become inflexible or voluntarily ignorant. What do we tend to see from feminists; consideration of mens issues or just their own. They are one perspective polarized extremists and are causing much harm. What other word should I use there? It was flexible thought,(science), that led people out of the flat earth belief you just pointed to and singular polarizing thought,(the church), that tried to prevent it.

            While I admit to being too lazy sometimes , I am far from stupid but I’m not going to write a treatise explaining myself, sorry.

          • Extreme is the wrong word. If somebody refuses to consider relevent evidence when forming an opinion they’ll probably end up wrong. The wrong beliefs they end up with may result in them taking actions that don’t make any sense in the situation that actually exists. If I believe the grass is 6″ long when it’s only 1″ long I may mow the lawn and not actually cut anything. This behavior isn’t extreme, just inappropriate given the situation.

            The closer you get to the extremes to more integrity (and correspondingly less hypocrisy) you find. The closer you get to the middle the more dishonesty and pragmatism you find.

            This applies equally to both “sides”.

    under the username Christine. Her contributions to the discussion there included the inference that I was a rapist, that the men’s movement was regarded by the justice department as an “abusers lobby,” and that our respected colleague W.F. Price of The-Spearhead.com should be targeted for investigation by the FBI and placed on some sort of watch list.

    – Blogs that regularly discusses the veracity of feminism from an evidential and a man’s POV should be targeted for FBI investigation or regarded as an abuser’s lobby is just plain crazy. One has to wonder at the luminescent minds at ‘justice’ departments. Just three more fingers pointing back toward the accuser(s).

    There’s a lot of government feminist funding at stake once the public gets a good sense of decades old feminist fraudulence at work. How DV funds are being spent and what really goes on inside all of those shelters should be the cause for state and FBI investigation. There’s more tales to be told I’m sure.

    For someone who writes as unmistakably clear as do you Paul, it has to be subterfuge or stupidity, or both, motivating the personal attack upon you.
    “Their” coveted power is revealed for all to observe. This tactic has been instrumental from the beginning of this ugy bloated movement and onward. Men are …blah, blah, etc., fill in the numerous quotable blank spaces etc. Cut and run character assassination from the Shakespeares of that insulated realm.

      It’s meant to close down the debate with a hollow victory.
      Except for guys like Elam who clamps down on it like a rabid pitbull.

      How could someone possibly dare question something like rape or abuse of women, while actually defending and/or inferrering men are victims? This turns their little world upside down.

      It is deemed heresy of the grandist order in the politically correct world view.

      Like I’ve heard said more than a few times…
      “Why would men (as a group) ever need rights?”
      To them it’s either insanity or some sort of prank.

      Men have natural advantages that first MUST be neutralized, before women can gain power over them. That’s the alarming red pill theory people can’t acknowledge. When women failed to progress after “liberation”, feminists started their campaign to subjugate men via feminist politicians. A lowering tide drops all boats.
