    Sounds interesting. I want to hear more about the, “A Voice for Boys” website. As we have noted for years in the MRM, boys are often considered by feminists to be their greatest threat as they have already conditioned the current generation of adult males to their liking. In the twisted mind of the feminist, boys represent future oppressors and must be re-educated out of their naturally evil tendencies. Some feminists will go so far as to try and mentally damage those boys they cannot, “neuter”. This madness has spread all over the western world and it has to stop. Many of us in the MRM grew up at the hands of these feminist teachers, parents, community leaders, sport coaches, and other people masquerading as responsible adults. We still feel the damage they inflicted on us as boys and we know they haven’t stopped either. With that in mind lets make sure that boys in the future are not left alone to be hobbled by these monsters.

    The whole Callieri/Parlato thing is nothing but a poo-slinging fest from both a mangina and a moronic shithead. No wonder he got roasted. What irks me is that some ignorant people conflate the likes of him with MRAs and their message.

      • ;)

        Now that would be telling…

        I must say I enjoy a man who enjoys pussy (cats – you filthy minded MRAs)

        But then, it was a cat who was responsible for me getting together with my beloved

        • Did you know that cats make great steering wheel covers for your car, or even very comfy Moccasins

          Just sayin, ya know!

          • If you’re a thrifty,and craft-minded man,as I am,with a little crazy glue you can surprise the hell out of passengers and pedestrians who thought that cat sticking to the inside of your window was one of those Garfield dolls with suction cups on its feet.

            I kid. I got a mean old tomcat myself who chases stray dogs away from the garbage. If anyone really “has” a cat.

  4. You MRAs are a bunch of layabout do-nothings….sitting in your mother’s basement smoking the devil-weed and fornicating to your pornography!

    Why don’t you do something useful, like bring attention to mens issues, and boys? Why not set up an infrastructure that others can use to expand on the work already done? I mean, it’s not like you’re actually doing anything with your budget of millions, and all your political support.

    And for God’s sake, stop kicking puppies….it makes you look bad, and no one will take you seriously.

    • Aussie viral video, ‘Dumb Ways to Die’, lives on

      http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/aussie-viral-video-dumb-ways-to-die-lives-on-20121129-2ahm0.html#ixzz2DaadZQjI

      Is there some thing we can do with a take off from this viral Video? Maybe there is someone in our ranks who can. It is certainly a hit with the young. It would have to be light hearted but hard hitting perhaps. I am no expert but it could be a way to get the message out to boys.

      Australia’s fastest-spreading viral video, “Dumb Ways to Die”, has taken on a life of its own, inspiring more than 65 cover versions, 85 parodies and 170 re-posts on YouTube.
      The original clip, made to promote safety on Melbourne Metro Trains, has amassed more than 28 million views on YouTube since it was posted on November 14.

    “A Voice for Boys” looks like a professional and accessible site perfectly tailored to help our embattled younger selves. Let’s make it the go-to resource to help them stand their ground and better understand their predicament.

    I made a donation on behalf of my nephew. He’ll be getting a link for Christmas. Hope those who can, do the same. What is the ultimate point of our fight if not to pave the way for our future – and boys are it?

    • andybob: you just game me an idea.
      I was wondering how I was going to broach the subject of mens rights with my son especially at this time in his life when he just thinking with his dick. I would like to think there are other processes going on in his brain but perhaps he will give this link a look see. One can only hope.

    Dean first mentioned “A Voice for Boys” in his Monday morning round-up on Nov 19th. It really does look to be a good website from what I have seen so far.

    I couldn’t even finish that Calleri garbage. Weigh how much of that article is actually about the issues and how much of it is just him talking about himself.

    I missed this one and will download it for iPod hoots.

    No doubt it was a cracker and went smooth as a bub’s bum.

UK Feminists: Let’s Keep Women out of Prison

Feminists claim they want equality, but British feminists in particular lately have been brazenly arguing that women should be given special preferential treatment in the prison system. Michael Reed takes a look at this disgusting hypocrisy and sexist double standard that, once again like so many feminist ideas, demonizes men and infantalizes women.

Michael Kimmel

Dissecting Michael Kimmel

Michael Kimmel has been hard at work drumming up support, and some badly needed dollars, for his crowning career achievement, a center a men's studies initiative with women in charge who hate men. And he has just scored the cash to get it done. Paul Elam dissects his news release on the subject.

John Birmingham’s big, white dick

John Birmingham has a big, white dick. And he is really, really upset with other people who he thinks have dicks, so he calls them dickless. Then he talks about the privilege his big, white dick brings him, which he is now rightly ashamed of because of "communters" on the internet. Are we clear?

UnknownhistoryMisandry

“Woman and Her Right to Kill” – 1922

Gonzo Historian Robert St. Estephe, author of the indispensible "Unknown History of Misandry" weblog, returns with another entry on the history of violence committed by women, and society's tendency to excuse it and even make allowances. This one will really make your head spin: a 1922 proposal to just make it legal for women to kill.

Julia Gillard

Why Gillard won’t go

The Australian government is currently run by feminist extremist Julia Gillard, who holds an iron grip on Australia's Labor Party. She has this iron grip despite the fact that her party is slipping badly in the polls. On the face of it, it would seem like Labor should dump Gillard, but Jim Muldoon explains why this is unlikely to happen.

Mangina Freak Show

Men’s Studies: The Complete Freak Show

Paying attention to the issues of homosexuals and the transgendered has its place in modern culture, but to use that agenda to play a part in hoodwinking people into believing you are addressing the lives of men in general demonstrates a deficit in integrity and a pathological drive to ensure the problems of the great majority of men and boys are either ignored or exacerbated, or both.
