Mass shooting in Connecticut school

 

This morning a tragedy has happened in Connecticut. A shooting rampage has occurred at an elementary school there and current reports state that 27 people, including 18 children are dead, with an entire classroom still unaccounted for.

At this time the editorial staff of AVfM extends their deepest sympathies to the victims of this tragedy.

We are also unfortunately forced to pause and consider that elements in the feminist community will, as they have done historically, attempt to spin this horrific incident into something inspired by or connected to the MRM.

We urge MRAs not to react to this kind of provocation, and to just focus our attentions and sympathies on the victims of this sad event.

Paul Elam, on behalf of the editorial staff of AVfM

Addendum:  After encouragement from a long time reader who commented for the first time, suggesting that I close comments on this thread, I am forced to agree. By the time he made the comment, David Futrelle was already using comments from the thread in order to push his lies, standing on the bodies of those dead children and over the sobbing of their traumatized, grieving parents. 

With apologies to readers, I cannot enable that any further. Comments are closed.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Femtriarchy

Jared White has good news for feminists. Patriarchy is real! And we gotta do something about it. In fact, we are doing something about it. Although for some strange reason, some people are resistant to it. We wonder why. Maybe it's their desire to cling to patriarchy?

Neely Steinberg loves you, as long as you don’t love yourself

Everyone once in a while we examine what passes for wisdom on the pages of the Good Men Project Magazine. The only thing for sure on this one is that it doesn't pass for wisdom here.

You want to help men? Grasp what it is like to be one with women like you for five fucking minutes. Then we can sit down and have a little chat.

Abortion And Men's Rights

Some words on Abortion and the MRM

Abortion is highly polemicist, with the mainstay of its opponents squarely on the neoconservative religions right. Socons, as we call them.

Study Reveals Female Rape Victims Enjoyed the Experience

It also calls into question whether the concept of “consent,” where it relates to sexual activity, is antiquated. Indeed it calls into question whether the concept of “rape,” in the literal definition, is just a cultural misconception for a male tendency to fulfill women’s desire for sexual excitement and thrills and women’s collective desire to see this accomplished.

An open letter to Richard Cohen of the SPLC

The Southern Poverty Law Center has placed AVfM and other related sites on a list identifying them as "misogynist" and "woman hating." Paul Elam responds with a letter to the SPLC president.
