Paul Elam: "In this culture, most every woman is Sharon Osbourne. Most every man is Hugo Schwyzer."

You know, I understand we all need to vent from time to time but articles like this lack ANY substance.

Vitriolic venting and "FUCK YOU AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT MY FUCKING TONE" have a place. But this article simply lacks substantial commentary. The article is Elam blowing off steam.

Yes, I have often engaged in "can't we just try and be civil?" tone policing myself (I stress that I have done so in a bipartisan fashion to both MRAs and Feminists), but sometimes we all need to blow off steam and I get that.

But "blowing off steam" articles which don't make any substantial point don't contribute to advancing the understanding of men's issues.

If Elam discussed, in this article, the details about the causes of his need to vent (and I mean substantial detail), then I wouldn't find it objectionable.

But unfortunately, all we got was I AM ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY RAGE RAAAAGE.

There was no insight contained within.

count me in the "too emotional" camp.

I also dislike their approach, always trying to push buttons on the reader. using ugly photos of "opponents" is one example, it is just transparently manipulative.

any intelligent and independent minded reader feels turned off by that.

My mother often wants to know why I never got married. I tell her to pay more attention to facebook, as it's pretty obvious that virtually every millenial woman hates the fuck out of men, or at the very least, has not one ounce of respect for us.

While i agree with his sentiments, this is not exactly Paul at his most articulate, is it? Surely he could have expanded a bit -- as it is, this is not so much an article as it is a short and hasty comment.

Feminists and Manginas as far as the eye can see.

Quite frankly I do not like how Elam is a leader of the movement. His heart is in the right place but he is too emotional and routinely spreads falsehoods.

With every article like this, he makes MRAs look more insane and unreasonable. I have less and less time for AVfM.
