Herald Sun interviews Paul Elam

All the hoopla that a few pieces of paper has caused in the Australian media continues to grow. Last night I was contacted by Stephen Drill of the Herald Sun. Stephen is clearly a seasoned member of the mainstream media, as is evidenced by the email exchanges I had with him which included questions with a degree of incisiveness that could only come from a seasoned mainstream reporter.

Since we didn’t set any terms on where the interview would actually appear, I figured it was best to bring it to you here, in its entirety, complete with the email exchanges to give you some background on how the interview developed.

First contact:

Name: Stephen Drill

Email: drills@heraldsun.com.au

Message: Hi Paul,

I am a reporter from the Herald Sun and I am doing a story on your website. Can you give me a call on  0432 201 139 or respond to the following questions via email.

1. Why did you set up this website?

2. Are you surprised that women have found the website offensive?

I would also like to get a photograph of you today for the story we are running in tomorrow’s paper.

Please give me a call.

Regards

Stephen Drill

drills@heraldsun.com.au

My response:

That’s it, Stephen? That’s your entire line of questioning? Well, I suppose I should be grateful that you are clear up front that this isn’t really journalism as much as a fishing trip for whatever it is you have already decided to cook up.

But tell you what, I will answer your questions anyway. I’ll even send you a pic.

“Question” one:

My answer, of course, is available on the website:

http://www.avoiceformen.com/activism-page/paul-elam/

“Question” two:

Ask one of the many women who support the site financially, contribute some of our best articles and host our online radio programs.

Kind regards, and feel free to make contact again if you are ever serious about reporting on what we are doing.

Paul Elam

Apparently, Mr. Drill had more than two questions after all. He sent the following in response:

Hi Paul,

Thanks for replying. Can you send me your number? I would [like] to interview you about this issue.

Regards

Stephen

Which was immediately followed by another email:

Also, do you have a number for [name withheld]? He’s been putting up the posters in Melbourne and I would like to have a chat to him.

Regards

Stephen

♦♦♦

My reply:

Sorry, I have to pass on both. I don’t have [name withheld] phone number, and Air Force One is on television right now. I have seen it four times but it is a really good movie.

Maybe next time.

♦♦♦

Stephen replies a last time:

Hi Paul,

That’s having it both ways, you are criticising me for not asking enough questions and then refusing to call me to do an interview.

How about replying to these questions.

Did you encourage Frank [name withheld] to put up the posters at Monash University?

How many women do you have as paid supporters of your website?

Do you agree with the statement in one of the articles on the website, which says Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.’?

Do women have an unfair advantage in the legal system?

Do you hate women?

Are you single? Have you been divorced and been refused access to your children?

Regards

Stephen Drill

Herald Sun

 ♦♦♦

Now see? I told you he was a sharpie. He really nailed me on the number of questions thing. Well, I suppose if he could have made one of his first two questions anything other than myopic and transparent attempts at a setup, I would have likely warmed up a little more. But he does have a bit of a point, so I have decided follow through with the interview here at AVfM, for the entertainment of our readers, with thanks to Stephen for his time and effort.

Did you encourage [name withheld] to put up the posters at Monash University?

Yes, I encourage thousands of people every day through articles on this website to put up posters. In fact, I encourage you right now to go to our “posters” page and download some so you can put them up where you work. Of course, the fact that you are an adult with free will may put somewhat of a kink in my plans to get you to do it.

And a side note to those of you here for the first time. Please feel free to print out posters from the poster page above and post them around the nearest college or university.

How many women do you have as paid supporters of your website?

I don’t have to pay them anything to support my website. They all do it for free.

Do you agree with the statement in one of the articles on the website, which says Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.’?

You mean the article with my name on the byline? Well, yes, Stephen, I pretty much agree with everything I write. Do you even remember a time when you could say the same?

(oh, and for readers confused by Drill’s reductionist fishing trip, here is the article. It will give you the context that Mr. Drill would prefer you not see.)

Do women have an unfair advantage in the legal system?

Only when they are in court for anything.

Do you hate women?

Do you molest children? Oh, hell, sorry Stephen. I really should not have asked you that kind of inflammatory question without prefacing it with at least a tiny bit of evidence. Not very professional of me, I’m afraid. Good thing I am not a reporter for a mainstream outlet, eh?

Are you single? Have you been divorced and been refused access to your children?

With the same partner for 10 years. Oh, and for follow up on your earlier question, I just asked her if she thought I hated her. She said, and I quote, “I don’t think so.” The same seems to be true for the three different radio hosts on AVfM shows who are female, as well as the female writers here and site supporters. None of them think I hate them either, as far as I know.

As to divorce, yes. I hear tell it has happened to other men who don’t hate women. I have never been refused access to a child, and since the internet, the truth is also very much accessible.

  1. Yep and he asked me these. I quote.

    1. How long have you been a men’s activist?

    2. Why have you have been putting up posters at Monash Univesity and around the law courts? Did you want to spark a debate about this issue?

    3. One of the articles on A Voice for Men states Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.’ Do you agree with that view?

    4. Have you personally been treated badly by women? Are you a father who has no access to children or have you been falsely accused of rape?

    5. What is your response to criticism of A Voice For Men from women’s groups. Do you think they are wrong to complain about the statement on the website that women are “half the problem in domestic violence”? That’s all the questions. Happy to take any other responses.

    In addition he was very pushy in wanting my phone number, address and place of employment!

    Stephen Drill suggested an interview at my home, but when I joked that an MRM film crew would be present he changed his mind.

    • It may be worth calling another local paper and giving them a story. They’re usually desperate for content, and papers love controversy.

      Write up a paragraph or two about how prejudiced the Herald is, and send it to another paper. Ask for an interview with them, and make it clear that you expect an honest account. Tell them you’re recording it for later use on blogtalkradio.

      They might bite. Or they might not. If they don’t, no harm done. If they do, it’s an opportunity to spin the situation into something positive.

      and the last sentence (total joke) Jess Boccia, of women’s group Reclaim the Night, said the website was disgusting “especially when it’s so hard for women and children to report rape”. – yep hard to claim TRUE rape is what she should have said.

    • Brilliant assertive answers Paul. I think it is a very wise way to deal with the media that is coming in with agendas…to make it dangerous waters for them to swim in in terms of exposure of their bias and dishonesty. Recording them and filming them making an interview is absolutely warranted and FairPlay. If they are interviewing in your home, I don’t believe you even need to let them know you are recording them. Set up your own cameras and record them from the moment they come in. Wait for their interview to air and let them show their bias – then expose that bias (and possibly defamation) for maximum effect. :)

    Oh (as I say with my face in my palm), I actually thought we had many ‘men’ in this country. How come it seems that there are so many ‘Girlie Mans’ out there, who so stupidly put up garbage like this, I’ll never know.

    How can this clown not even realise that his stupid questions are an obvious set up so that he can paint you guys as nothing more than just angry little men who have an axe to grind against women.

    I could think of some other negative response to use here, but my fingers just can’t be bothered doing the typing.

    Great interviews chaps. Sounds like this story is cranking up and the Chinese Whisper is gaining momentum. Soon, you will both be labeled as wife bashers, paedophiles and convicted rapists.

    So, what else is new!

    Of course some women will find this website offensive – the misandrist, hateful, lying, statistic manipulating ones out there. The ones that pretend and say they believe in equality, while doing everything possible to destroy and leave men and boys with zero human rights. The ones who believe in gender supremacy. The ones who believe that if someone is born with external genitals then that person does not matter, and the pain and suffering inflicted upon a person with external genitals does not matter. Plenty of men who are also misandrists as well.

    Thanks for sharing this Paul. We can all guess the usual mainstream boy hating media story that will result.

    Well, not even a little impressed by this journalist or his objectiveness.
    And, I love the fact that he asks ‘have you ever PERSONALLY been screwed over by a woman?’ As if to care about human rights you have to have actually been burned. Not even to mention the fact that asking if someone is single in such circumstances is a horrid presumption of guilt or sociopathic behaviour. Clearly, it shows me he’s saturated with that ‘cultural expectation’ that if you’re not willing to be treated like a dog no one will let you in the house.

    • It goes a step further really. Who the hell reaches the age of adulthood, let alone middle age, without having some experience where you feel burned by a relationship with a member of the opposite sex? 1% of the population, maybe? So the automatic answer that almost any adult human being is going to have to that question is “yes.”

      “Have you ever eaten a meal that made you sick? Do you hate food?” Same logic.

  6. In my opinion, they (journalists) never ask the right questions. Here are some questions every journalist should ask him/her self, before ever doing an interview about any feminist related issue, then publish the results:

    # Please explain why gender feminism is a hate movement.

    # What makes journalism (American and foreign) so biased, when it comes to telling the truth about gender feminism?

    # Why do journalists (American and foreign) think that the words “feminism” and “women” are synonymous? That’s stereotyping and prejudice. Why is such prejudice and hate directed at women by journalists?

    # Why do journalists (American and foreign) not understand that words of the Declaration of Independence (relevant section quoted below) are words most MRA’s live by (at least in America), including their application to jury duty, and/or, jury nulification:

    “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations [gender feminism], pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. “

    # What part of “We the people,” not “We the judges,” or “We the feminists” do journalists (American and foreign) not understand as specifying the ultimate authority in American government?

    # Americans have a long history of opposition to vile, lying, scamming tyrants like feminists, and some oppressed people (American and foreign) look at opposition to tyrants like feminists as righteousness. Many others find that opposition to tyrants like feminists inspiring. What part of that do journalists (American and foreign) not understand?

    # Gender feminism, following its prejudiced, hateful, and outright fraudulent model of “gender based violence” has a long history of witch-hunting males so why, oh why, are journalists (American and foreign) so addled that they never seem to grasp the magnitude of that ongoing witch-hunt?
    “Witch-Hunting Males” at Youtube – http://tinyurl.com/65dpzwu

    Yes, misandrist (gender feminist sympathizing) journalists (American and foreign) are as big a part of this story as anything else so go do your research on that, Mr./Ms. Journalist(s), and publish it. :-/

    • Looks like a press office might be useful so that these snakes can be directed straight to ‘Air Force One’ the moment they start to get agitated. A set of publicly stated conditions before initiating contact might also be helpful for the snakes…who obviously need all the help they can get. And, of course, recording every single interaction goes without saying.

          Ha ha, I mean what a joke. I told her to ‘forget’ about the arm wrestling contest between you and Dr. T and I reckon she fell for it. Yep, she actually thinks I tried to dissuade Dr. T and you know something? Dr. T will read that post and go all ‘girly’ and want all the more to try to beat you in an arm wrestle. Yeah mate, I am serious. Watch out for her angry acceptance of the contest.

          Please tell me that when you and her have the competition you will pretend she is winning and then at the last moment, “WHAM” slap that sheila-wrist to the table.

          God they are so cute with their girly muscles and sandwich making ways. (sigh)

          P.S.

    I got a very good laugh out of this one. A very excellent response. Paul knows the mainstream media will set us up for failure. As is the case in education, family court, and virtually any other institution, if the individuals in question aren’t misandric by nature, far too often their careerism will get the better of them. In the case of the mainstream media, they have an audience to appease or inflame, and they know that everyone needs a bad guy.

    If we refuse to cooperate with the mainstream media where we know or have a good idea that it will burn us, people are forced to come here to learn about us on our terms, and hear us through our own language, rather than the warped mouthpieces of the MSM.

        • Feminism is indistinguishable from capitalism in the way it calls for commodification of all relationships entered into by women. Feminism demands capital in the form of goods or money in return for being a wife, being a girlfreind, being a mother, being a woman, being a sexual partner, and yes even being a website supporter. Is it any wonder our feminism-supporting journalist is asking how much money women get paid to chat here?

In fact, they think that women who like, or want anything that they don’t want them to like, or want, are traitors. You aren’t allowed to be strong, and brush off anything that they tell you should cause you massive trauma. You must be a weak and pathetic victim, who cries and whines over every little thing.

      • Twilight Thomas in reply to Stu

        It was the journalist that got me roused, his suggestion that only paid women would take interest in or support AVfM. Guess I hate people pretenting to know what women all want, especially from a middle-aged journalist based on advice he received from teenage university feminists.

        I work and study fulltime so not much time for messaging. But I love what is happening here and have read every article. There’s nothing like this in the textbooks I’m reading. :-) I expect there are others reading and donating money without posting tho I have no idea what the ratio of male to female lurkers might be.

    • “Do you hate women?”

      Do journalists sometimes color news they are reporting by filtering facts through their own personal ineptitude?

      Do journalists pick their noses, while proofreading what they write?

      Do journalists ever wonder what fish will be wrapped with, or bird cages will be lined with, when all newspapers are finally bankrupt?

      Do journalists know that old timers in outhouses routinely used newspapers as toilet paper, yet those old timers had a higher opinion of journalistic integrity than many intelligent men today – including this MRA? :-)

    Reporters are such sleazebags. I have come to realize that journalism is a myth. It’s like that old saw about the difference between science and religion: science assembles all available facts and then formulates a working theory to explain the facts. Religion formulates a premise and then cherry-picks useful facts to support the premise (no offense to the devout, and severe offense to corrupt scientists). Everyone from Hanna Rosin to Bob Woodward does it. It is the lowest form of propaganda.

    Our readership is 87% female, left-leaning, etc., etc…If we spin Paul Elam this way, we sell another 300,000 copies of our rag. The facts are neither here nor there.

    PS: Anything with Gary Oldman is worth watching, but to reveal a Russian agent within the US Secret Service in Act III, and not explain how he penetrated one of the most secure law enforcement agencies in the world, is just plain sloppy storytelling. Das Boot is a masterpiece of filmmaking, but I have never been much impressed with anything else Wolfgang Peterson has done.

    It sounds like Stephen Drill did what all media types have done when trying to get a handle on ‘those MRA dudes’. He asked the nearest feminist. To ensure that his research methods fell within the parameters of the Australian Code of Stupid and Lazy Journalism, Mr Drill corroborated the nearest feminists unbiased opinions.

    Mr Drill stumbled upon the balanced and edifying articles of Tori Shepherd and Clementine Ford after googling us on his iPod on his way to work. He miraculously managed to ignore the widely-known fact they are two of the most notorious man-haters in the mediasphere. Now armed with all he needed to know about the violent extremists…um…activists in the MRM, Mr Drill attempted to entrap them with a cunning plan…

    Thanks to a mysterious contact known only as Manboobz (who volunteered Deepthroat duty with unseemly enthusiasm), Mr Drill was given the e-mail address of a Texan recluse known only as, Dr Elam. Dr Elam is surrounded by his coterie of brainwashed Canadian sister-wives (yes, Ms GWW is actually chained to that kitchen table – she peels and grates and broadcasts from the same spot – and never, ever complains). They are all kept in check by the syringe-wielding Dr T (don’t let the dimples fool you).

    Armed with his big pad full of tough questions, Stephen Drill is determined to topple Dr Elam’s quest for world-domination. (Name, address and work place? Sure, here’s my ATM pin number too.)

    Australian journalists lead the world in laziness and stupidity. Engage only under the assumption that they will concoct the kind of sensationalized nonsense that I wrote above. It’s quite a challenge to deal with an enemy you shoud neither over-estimate, nor under-estimate.

      Hi Stephen,
      I write as a supporter of the MRM. Nobody had to pay me to support a cause I hold dear (I actually find your statement sexist and demeaning). I have been researching and documenting the ills of feminism for a long time (long before Paul set up a Voice for Men). You might start with the education system and the bias in it. Perhaps you might like to look at the real DV stats (available if you look at data from the courts and the ABS).
      A look at the family court system and the injustices there perhaps? (the anguish of some and suicide of one of my male colleagues due to their treatment and loss of contact with children by this court is appalling).
      A look at the white ribbon campaign and the brainwashing and propaganda being inflicted on young boys (primary school) would be useful. (in one case I know of young boys were told they must take the pledge so the didn’t turn out like their adult male relatives (including their father) and bash the female members of their families like all men did they were told.

      You can ignore this and toe the feminist propaganda line, or do some research and take the scales from your eyes.

      Regards
      Bev

    Excellent replies and well played, Sir.

    Question is, if we don’t come across as an even more intriguing ‘catch’ for any journalist who wants to cover this issue.

    Keep denying to play their little games, until you’re in complete control of everything that is being refered in any article or interview, be it about the MRA or yourself.

    I’m pretty sure it will only be a matter of time before someone rises to it, as long as the posters keeps getting up.

  24. Would love to see the whole article as all I can see on the Herald’s website is a few lines.
    It also appears that there are no comments, nothing like a little censorship to keep the lie rolling huh?
    I thought Mr. drill was writing the piece why does courtney crane’s appear with his?

    I see her name first and his second. I thought to myself well it does stand to reason being that it is alphabetical order.
    Lets look at a another article Ms cane has penned.

    “A law meant to protect battered women is being abused by brutal men”
    Right off the hop the article insinuates that men are brutal. Nothing like being objective in reporting, (sarcasm) you know reporting the facts in an unbiased manner.

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/violent-men-exploit-womens-defence-law/story-fn7x8me2-1226267240612

    In this article her name appears after a mr geoff wilkinson,, hmm so much for my alphabetical order theory.
    Theory #2 ms crane is there to ensure mr drill’s reigns are held taunt to prevent any real journalism from going on. You know keep the blinders on so the reader can only see what ms. cane wants them to see.
    Referring back to that article about men using the defense of being in fear of their life, I am left wondering so it is alright for a woman to use this defense but not a man?
    A man can never be in fear of a woman. Last time I checked, and I admit I am no doctor, but wouldn’t a knife wound to the chest in either sex produce the same result?
    You know like a sucking chest wound, or possible aortic rupture in a man or a woman. How about something a little higher up like say the jugular vein?
    How stupid of me of course a woman would never have the ability or the intention to inflict such a wound on a man.

    Just a little misandric and discriminatory there don’t you think?
    Ooops I know I am insinuating that they might actually use that stuff located in their skull instead of just banging that old femmie drum of man bad and woman good.

    Your interpretation of mr drill’s pointed questions was spot on Paul. The interview was never meant to be objective or honest about anything.
    You were right to watch Airforce One instead of wasting more than a couple of minutes on their queries.

    P.S. do you ms cane still eat children for breakfast? most probable answer no, next question What made you stop?
    See ms cane if you are reading this we too can set up pointed questions just like you.

    COPY of email I sent to Mr. Drill to help him get his bearings on the movement he, like all other corporation-sponsored journalists, have been unfairly deprived of learning about:

    To: Stephen Drill:
    drills@heraldsun.com.au
    To understand what A Voice for Men is for and what it does it is well to become familiar with the early history of the MRM.

    The first formal men’s rights organization (dedicated specifically to the legal rights of males) was founded in 1926 by Sigurd Hoeberth in Austria (with international reach). He published the first newsletter in the world devoted to men’s rights activism. The first one in the US was founded by Bessie Cooley (and soon absorbed into a larger group) and started as an anti-alimony group. Men’s rights organizations also sprang up in Tibet and England.

    Hoeberth: http://unknownmisandry.blogspot.com/2011/07/worlds-first-mens-rights-organization.html

    Cooley: http://unknownmisandry.blogspot.com/2011/08/militant-wife-launches-war-against.html

    England: http://unknownmisandry.blogspot.com/2012/05/early-mens-rights-organization-england.html

    Tibet: http://unknownmisandry.blogspot.com/2012/05/early-mens-rights-organization-tibet.html

    All through the 20th century men’s rights has attracted prominent women: legislators, judges, writers. SEE: “A Woman’s Voice” : http://unknownmisandry.blogspot.com/2012/06/womans-voice.html

        “If I ran this paper [Herald Sun] I’d sack Singer for so foul and dishonest a piece of vilification”

            I’ve provided a direct quote from Bolt calling for his own publication’s feminist ideologue to be sacked. He is hated by Emily’s List and PM Gillard in particular.

            He is also rated the most powerful political commentator in Australian media. Bolt’s blog is the most-read political blog in the land with 275,000 unique browsers a month. His newspaper column is read by a million readers daily. He has his own radio & TV show.

            Putting up posters is fine. I will help. However, any fuckwit would realise it won’t get critical momentum without cultivating the awareness & support of people like Bolt.

      Ahh, so it was one Courtney Crane who had looked at feminist websites to get an idea what questions to ask. Not surprising that there was a little hiding under a woman’s skirt going on here. “Good boy” — pat, pat, pat.

      I looks that the divorce / child access question is becoming a standard one with “journalists.” If the answer is affirmative the automatic dismissive summation of the target of the “journalist” is: “Don’t pay attention. This is an embittered person so we don’t need to look at the content, facts, arguments on their merit.”

      Funny, I thought Paul Elam has already many times taken “the opportunity to explain himself” for any person who is not too lazy to do a little research on the subject they are, sorta, in a way, kinda, writing about.

    Personally, I would not give ANY answers to ANY form of media without a pre-signed little contract saying that the answers/interview will only be read, published, or played in their entirety.

    Michael Moore did that one time on CNN one tie. It was a genius move. CNN had to play the unedited video of Moore chewing out Wolf Blitzer and turning his questions back on him. It’s irrelevant what one thinks of Michael Moore; the strategy was smart and effective. He didn’t allow himself to be manipulated by the editing process.

            Stay on the offensive. Hit and run. Men are the creative ones, the one with ingenuity and strong spirits. As Paglia said (correctly), “If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.” Neither women nor glacially reacting major media has any prayer in keeping up with men.

            We just have to believe in ourselves. We have all the tools and talent within us. We have to stop being distracted and brought back down to the mud. Free men use their unique gift for powerful abstract thinking and imagination. We create worlds. That separates us from animals and women (minus the rare minority of women).

    Be aware that they’re not even conscious of their own bias. In the USA journalists think everyone must share their worldview, especially the worldview of upper east side Manhattan/NYC. They provide validation for a certian audience.

    They don’t think they’re biased at all, but rather providing information they think people want to hear, said in a way they’ll want to listen to it.

    Fox News has turned ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN upside down. I’ve also noticed PBS/ NPR has gotten more balanced since their government funding was threatened from a few revealing scandals. You can’t depend on one source for news. Everyone has an obvious agenda now.

    As a frequent reader of the HeraldSun, I can tell you that is dripping with feminist ideology on every 2nd page. Female murderers and child abusers are treated very sympathetically, whereas a male who so much as makes a sexual advance to a woman is treated as a rapist. They also regularly promote the myth of the wage gap, demand affirmative action in the workplace, extol the virtues of single moms and cheerlead for girlpower at every opportunity while ignoring the plight of disadvantaged men and boys.

  37. Richmond furious as newspaper ‘bullies’ injured player Polak into interview
    Ben Doherty | The Age | August 22, 2008

    INJURED Richmond footballer Graham Polak — still recovering from being hit by a tram in June and unlikely to play football again — is caught in the middle of an angry stand-off between his club and a major Melbourne newspaper.

    Richmond is furious at what it has described as the “gutter journalism” of the Sunday Herald Sun, which sent a reporter to Polak’s house on Wednesday and “bullied” him into an interview.

    The club threatened to hold a press conference with Polak today to scupper the paper’s exclusive, but that was withdrawn because of doctors’ advice that Polak was not ready to participate in interviews.

    On Wednesday, Richmond claims, Sunday Herald Sun reporter Stephen Drill arrived unannounced at Polak’s house, asking for an interview.

    After being refused, Drill left but returned several hours later with a photographer dressed in Richmond club clothing.

    The club says Polak “felt extremely pressured, confused and uncomfortable” and agreed to an interview under duress.

    He was said to be upset and stressed and has told club officials he was confused and remembers nothing of what he said.

    Despite making good progress, Polak has not returned to full brain function after being struck by a tram on Dandenong Road hours after the club’s centenary celebration match against Carlton on June 28.

    His girlfriend, Alyce Oksuz, who arrived home on Wednesday as the interview was finishing, said she initially thought the photographer and reporter were from the club’s website because the photographer was dressed in Richmond gear.

    Richmond has demanded that the Sunday Herald Sun pull the story, and club officials, Polak’s manager Paul Connors and Polak are meeting newspaper representatives today. “We just hope that common sense prevails and they don’t run the story,” Connors said last night.

    The club has also threatened to boycott the paper, in scenes reminiscent of last year’s stand-off between Channel Seven and AFL players over the leaked medical records affair.

    There could also be a broader boycott of the newspaper by Richmond players, players in Connor’s management stable, which includes stars Chris Judd and Jimmy Bartel, or even AFL players generally.

    Chief executive of the AFL Players Association Brendan Gale said media organisations had been told Polak could not give interviews, and that Melbourne’s “football media” deserved credit for respecting that.

    “But here, we’re talking about repeated intrusions, we’re talking about arriving unannounced at his home,” he said. “We’re not talking about a bloke who’s broken a law or failed to meet community standards. We’re talking about a bloke with a serious brain injury, a bloke that is extremely vulnerable, and a bloke whose representatives have told the media ad infinitum that he’s not in a position to be conducting interviews. In that context, it’s extremely disappointing.”

    Richmond said Drill was told that Polak was unable to grant interviews. Neither Sunday Herald Sun editor Simon Pristel nor Stephen Drill returned calls from The Age yesterday.

    STORY IN FULL: (Herald Sun – attempting to incite violence against Frank James Spencer).

    Website urges men to support rapists August 25, 2012 12:00AM View as multiple pages

    A MAN who is littering the city with posters promoting a website that encourages men to support rapists has declined the opportunity to explain himself.

    The website, which the Herald Sun has chosen not to name, is campaigning to get men sitting on juries for rape trials to “vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true”.

    The group says the campaign is necessary because it claims women lie about being raped and men are unfairly treated in the courts.

    Women’s rights campaigners questioned whether the group’s members had the courage to make the same statements to women in person.

    Posters promoting the website have been posted at Monash and Deakin universities and around Melbourne’s law courts precinct.

    Frank James Spencer, who has been putting up the posters around Melbourne, told the Herald Sun he became involved with the website as an extension of the “atheist” movement but declined to answer further questions.

    The website claims women hate porn because they cannot compete with a “porn actress who has a beautiful face, a perfect body”.

    The website’s publisher, Paul Elam, told the Herald Sun he was too busy watching the movie Air Force One to be interviewed, but later said by email he stood by the campaign.

    He did not hate women but they had an unfair advantage.

    “Only when they are in court for anything,” he said.

    Women’s rights campaigner Melinda Tankard Reist said the website did not represent the majority of men’s views.

    Jess Boccia, of women’s group Reclaim the Night, said the website was disgusting “especially when it’s so hard for women and children to report rape”.

      LOL.

      It never seizes to amaze me, how much “in touch” with men’s inner thoughts and feelings these feminist apparently think they are.

      She takes the opinions of a bunch of pussy beggars and white knights and turns them into the majority, while completely disregarding the possibility that most men don’t want to discuss these things, because they prefer peace and quiet above all else, and that the ones who disagrees with her might have an agenda with keeping quiet about it.

      If men actually started to stand up for their rights, and started saying what they think, there’d be hell to pay from the missus and every woman in her vicinity, too.

      Noone wants to listen to that crap for very long, so most of the time it’s better to just shrug your shoulders, and let them have their way.

            I was commenting that you recognized that some people may do that to escape without the “shaming” and “chastising” by some of the so called MRA’s floating around the digital sphere.

      • Yep, that’s right. It seems these are the same women which argue against penis-in-vagina pornography, but also argue that male degradation pornography is really good and positive, and it is great that men are tortured and degraded. Great, they argue, because it is good for both men and women. They argue that men want to submit to women, and this should be the way of the future and it is good for men and women. Pornography has now gone away from sex and turned into men getting tortured by women and licking womens boots.

        Who are these white knights, manginas, and poodle boys who like this stuff? Who the hell are you? There are plenty of misandrist women who encourage this. But clearly there are obviously some poodle boys out there.

        These women argue, like misandrist feminism, it is good for women AND men. I’ve had enough of all these misandrists, both the misandrist men and the misandrist women.

        Now, I’m going out to do what so many of these people hate, I’m going out to have normal sex and oral sex with a woman. The same sort which leads to the procreation of our species. The same sort which so many of these people find so offensive. But somehow depicting the torturing of men and boys by women is not offensive to these people, and indeed encouraged.

Especially since they were sent screen shots of their conversations, as well as load of info including who these people were. But no, they weren’t interested.

      We must not allow ourselves to be surprised at forthcoming attacks. The opposition’s goal is “the complete transformation of society” (through establishing a complete authoritarian surveillance state). They are professionals with clear methods and long-term goals, not just hysterical spewers.

    Courtney Crane and Stephen Drill have published a rambling and dishonest condemnation of MRM demands for gender neutral treatment of domestic violence (including protection for battered men). The deceptive and misleading article “website that supports rapists branded disgusting” appeared today in the Australian daily “Herald Sun”:

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/true-crime-scene/website-that-supports-rapists-branded-disgusting/story-fnat7jnn-1226457731237

    The article is almost unreadable. It contorts both facts and the English language to avoid an honest discussion of MRM demands for equality. Instead, it attempts to deliver below the belt personal attacks on Paul Elam and MRAs in general.

    The grotesque onslaught on intellectual honesty is a response to posters that read (in their entirety): “Domestic violence: women are half the problem.”

    It is easy to unearth the author’s true agenda.

    A google check demonstrates that both writers were involved in the “defensive homicide” judicial leniency campaign for battered women. However, when battered MEN invoked the same law, the authors wrote two outraged articles calling for the law to be re-written to exclude male defendants:

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/violent-men-exploit-womens-defence-law/story-fn7x8me2-1226267240612

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/growing-calls-for-defensive-homicide-review/story-fn7x8me2-1226269060175

    Direct quotes from the articles (which read like school girl temper tantrums):

    * “A law intended to shield battered women from murder convictions has been hijacked by violent, often drug-crazed men.”

    * “Defensive homicide, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, compared to life for murder, applies to someone who claims to have killed in self-defence without a reasonable basis for that belief.”

    * “The problem with the law has nothing to do with it being too complex. It’s because we turn these violent men into victims in the court room”.

    Oddly, the dishonest duo do not even mention domestic violence in their article about the MRM domestic violence poster campaign (the article contains zero occurrences of the term). Instead, they attack the MRM using tired defamatory stereotypes and then retreat into “fortress rape”. The logic appears to be, since some men rape some women, men as a class deserve to be battered and beaten by women. Here are some slanderous quotes which mis-attribute MRM demands and motivations:

    1) MRAs pretend to care about male victims of domestic violence so that they can rape more women: “The group says the campaign is necessary because it claims women lie about being raped and men are unfairly treated in the courts.”

    2) MRAs are cowards who are afraid of women: “Women’s rights campaigners questioned whether the group’s members had the courage to make the same statements to women in person.”

    3) MRA posters are garbage and the MRM is a rape cartel: “A man who is littering the city with posters promoting a website that encourages men to support rapists has declined the opportunity to explain himself.”

    4) MRAs are all neck-beards who cannot get dates and just beat off all the time: “The website claims women hate porn because they cannot compete with a porn actress who has a beautiful face, a perfect body”.

    5) The domestic violence posters are part of a massive rape campaign: “Jess Boccia, of women’s group Reclaim the Night, said the website was disgusting ‘especially when it’s so hard for women and children to report rape’.”

    If this is what passes for journalistic integrity at the Herald Sun, then Australia has one too many newsgroups.

    I found this postering episode and the results so inspiring that yesterday I purchased a pile of A4 adhesive paper (large stickers) and last night printed out 100 assorted posters for circulation today in southeast Queensland. I plan to hit men’s public restrooms – ie. the dunny cubicles and also the hand-washing areas. Its one of the only private places left to males in this world.

    Had better get busy, its a beautiful day for joining the ‘wallpaper the world’ movement. ;-)

      “Its one of the only private places left to males in this world.” — for the time being. But there are plans afoot to change this “socially unjust” situation.

      Except those darned “disgraceful” poster-hangers are going to much up the carefully made social engineering plans.

    Courtney Crane and Stephen Drill,
    Another example of the Herald Sun’s feminist biased reporting. They cherry pick one statement from a whole article
    .And as far as supporting rapists the issue is that women lie about rape and get innocent men jailed
    As an example A man was arrested at an airports had his reputation wrecked only to be found in court that the accuser being the maid was found to be an untruthful witness who gave ‘irreconcilable accounts of what happened’.

    I find it interesting that the Herald Sun in the past has publish a story about Kim a 17 year old girl having sex with a well known AFL identity and claiming that she was pregnant. Later Kim admitted to making the whole thing up.

    Men will not enter into a useless argument with women on this lack of equality. It has not gotten men anywhere for the last 40 years.

    Men will rather weigh up the good and the bad to make their decisions.

    So you won’t have a man making statements to women in person but rather you will have women making statements like:

    men won’t commit to a relationship anymore.
    Or
    where are the real confident men that want to have sex with a women!
    Or my favorite
    where are all the nice men that want to start a family and commit to one women.

    Oh that cannot be true because women are perfect according to the Herald Sun.

    Men are becoming aware and taking the Rose colored glasses off that the media has created

    “The website, which the Herald Sun has chosen not to name, is campaigning to get men sitting on juries for rape trials to “vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true”.

    “Women’s rights campaigners questioned whether the group’s members had the courage to make the same statements to women in person.”

    lolol why even question something like that? What are “women” going to do if we did say that to them in person? (keep in mind that feminists are our enemy, not “women”)

    and are they suggesting that these “women” are going to become violent, and assault us?

grade f for Michael Kimmel

Michael Kimmel’s mendacious men’s “advocacy”

Michael Kimmel, a noxious bigot and sycophant with a PhD, recently got a large private grant to start a center for studying men's and boys' issues. Peter Allemano, in a devastatingly on-point review of Kimmel's famous book Guyland, helps people get to know Kimmel's scholarship a bit better.

Male suicide is funny! Marketing gone wrong

There's no question when writing comedy, there's always a danger that you'll offend someone. Nevertheless, sometimes what a culture thinks is funny, or not funny, says far more about that culture itself than it does about the nature of humor. It can tell us what we choose to see, and also what we choose not to see.

PPass

A Pussy Pass in Italy

Pussy pass articles are mainstream and completely accepted as a normal part of our process for determining guilt and innocence in the court of public opinion. So much so, that CNN no longer bothers to discuss evidence in articles about attractive young female killers. Instead, the "news organization" jumps directly to baby pictures and pink parasols.

Team Lifting Arrow Over Walls of Maze

Reason for cheer about the men’s movement

Fathers 4 Justice veteran and Director at the consultancy Helping Men Glen Poole, having recovered from a bit of a dustup recently, has some great thoughts on where we are today in the men's movement. We aren't done yet, there's a lot to do, but by God we're going to do it!

Jake Pentland on AVFM Radio

Recently Paul Elam appeared on the Jake Pentland Radio Show on Blog Talk Radio. It was a bit of a chaotic interview, punctuated by dumb questions...not from Jake Pentland but from some of the women associated with his show. Now he comes to AVFM, sans the shrills, for a real talk.

Super bad apple with fungi.

Time to ditch the rape advocates

A recent fit of outrage over an A Voice for Men meme on false allegations came to a peak just as the Washington Times reported that there has been a serious and largely unaddressed increase in the amount of false accusations of sexual assault in the military. It's not the first time for these concerns.
