The goodmen project's Executive Editor Joanna Schroeder exploiting mass murder to construct a false narrative about the men's movement.

The Good Men Project is a men's movement (not MRM) tragedy. The founder was a man who was a fence-sitter regarding men's rights, though he genuinely had the well-being of men at heart. A true believer in NAFALT despite warnings from Paul Elam, he welcomed a feminist presence at his site. Long story short, compromise by obnoxious compromise, they slowly took over the site tossing the originator. It is now a feminist site, its readers mostly women.

Why, why, WHY is a man-hating feminist who openly admits she fears men the "Executive Editor of the Good Men Project"?

"Good men" reads like "Good dog"

But yeah, it's sad how this narcicisst nutjob shooting people is exploited by feminists and their cronies to attack MRAs and "prove" misgony, patriarchy, rape culture and all that BS. They're so quick to scream "NAFALT!" when their comrades engage in blatant misandrist behavior or perpetuate double-standards, yet one crazy, woman-hater is enough for them to paint the whole manosphere as a training ground for murderers.

I have not read anything on the Good Men Project since Joanna Schroeder informed me that I am banned because of my critiques the site’s treatment of male survivors and specifically because I am a non-feminist male survivor. That was of little consequence I only read articles from the site when they appeared in a Google alert, and even then I kept my participation on the site to a limit.

The reason I rarely participated there was because, like many feminist spaces, the Good Men Project suffers from stilted discussions. While some people running the site may want to have open discussions, many of them do not. Rather than exchange ideas, these people prefer conformity to feminist ideas and theories. Any critique of feminism prompts an increasingly hostile response that typically ends with one or more feminists declaring the discussion “impossible” and the comments critical of feminism suddenly disappearing.

In my opinion, that is not how one fosters a discussion. Exchanging ideas can be difficult. People do not always agree, and some disagreements can become testy. However, as long as the anger remains directs at ideas and not people, one should allow those testy discussions because they are the nature of the debate. Blocking such comments only prevents an honest debate from happening.

Sometimes, as is typical at the Good Men Project and other feminist sites, that is the intention. Many ideologues cannot handle any criticism. The more personal their connection to the ideas, the more the ideology forms the core of their identity, and the more likely the ideologues will dislike the comments. Blocking the comments and banning certain people is a way of “controlling” the criticism. It does not actually work, of course. There is nothing stopping people from criticizing those ideas in other spaces. However, it does effectively prevent that kind of discussion from occurring in their spaces.

They're deleting comments on that article left and right.

Why are we giving them page views? Didn't we agree to imgur articles from rags like this?

Ask any woman who writes online, particularly if she’s writing about feminism, if she’s ever received a death or rape threat. I know I have.

I wonder how many of those threats originated on her computer?

TRPACC · 2014-05-25T17:14:14+00:00

what I find reprehensible about Joanna's actions with this article is that she says she doesn't intend to write about the incident. Yet there she is, using it as a reference to spout her views on the harassment women face by creepy men.

To top it off, the disclaimer about deleting comments and eventually banning people who dare speak out in support of the groups this murderer derived inspiration off of. Well, the media is suspecting a link to Mens rights. I am sympathetic to Men's Rights so that means, if I dare try to point out the spurious link between them and this man, not only will my comment get trashed but I will face a possible ban on ever participating in that on-line magazine again.

If that's the case, fuck them. Fuck Joanna and fuck everyone who let her run rampant with this threat on that site. They ban me, then they shit on Tom Matlack and every man who supported that sight with the naive assumption it would be focused on the issues of Men.

After all I did for that site: Wrote an article on females bullying males, two additional articles on male survivors, opened a forum for male survivors to talk about their stories. Hell, I even attempted to run a forum for supposed Good Feminists that wasn't successful in the end.

Fuck them.

Try this one out. Rather than playing political football with this attack lets try reaching out to these guys and hopefully prevent them.
