So, the co-opters of the MRM known as "No Seriously What About Teh Menz" have now been officially rolled into "The GOOD Men Project". Shocking huh???

Oh look, a radical feminist is now running the site that tells men what is 'good' and what is not. That took less than a year, impressive. I wonder if Lisa or Tom will come here to tell us all that a RadFem running the joint, who will ban anyone that "pisses her off", 'really cares about mens issues'....

Comedy gold.

The good men project is exactly why MRA's can't be allies with feminists.

It's a magazine that's run mainly by women, that's read mainly by women, where the women's movement and women's voices are put on top of those of men.

Even discounting their constantly slagging off of the MRM, there are three fundamental flaws with NSWATM.

Their refusal to discard existing feminist concepts - e.g., the pieces they've written about "Nice Guys(TM)", "creeps" and even "mansplainin" - even when those concepts themselves are discriminatory
Their reluctance to criticise other mainstream feminists. I specify "mainstream" because Ozy Frantz, the lead blogger, will often take potshots at strawman radfems who shoulder sole responsibility for any harm caused by feminism. Meanwhile, she plays nicey-nice with gynocentricist Sady Doyle, is an active member of the Manboobz community and frequently links to gynocentric feminist sites.
Their particular focus on "trangressionary" mens' issues - men who completely reject or do not fit male social roles in any way, men who wear dresses, trans men, et cetera. That's not to suggest that these issues are without merit or that non gender conforming men aren't worth helping, however when examinations of more "traditional" male problems are neutered by the previous two issues, it does seem to skew the balance somewhat.

GMP is a terrible piece of shit site, and why we give that place more attention than it deserves is quite frankly mind boggling.

Its another attempt to stop the mens rights movement, if they can create a PC mensrights movement, men who are afraid of feminists can join that instead, and never get anything we actually want. Oh, lets fight for mens righs to cry, and boys rights to play with barbies, and mens rights to wear dresses! Instead of REAL mens rights issues, not feminist gender bending being portrayed as mens rights.

I see nothing substantive in this site at all. It bears no particular wit nor does it give any insight through intellectual depth.

There was a brief, very brief, period of time after Hugo schwyzer slagged off (and apparntly took the likes of amanda Marcotte and David Futrelle with him) that the GMP looked like it might redeem itself and actually let men talk about men's issues on our own terms.... but then that was all dashed when they put that moron Noah Brand (whose "debating" style seems to consist of a single attempt to bully dissenters with sarcasm, and then when that doesn't work abandon the conversation until it gets forgotten) in charge.

They eventually backed off and let me post but two days ago GMP censored my comments. This had never happened before. Idk if this is related to NSWATM joining. Maybe the site is going in a bad direction.
