Actually that is a very short sighted perspective. Even as MND editor over the past year I was often frustrated by too much content that I thought was overly partisan to the right. I openly and vigorously took stands against right wing politics as much as I did the left, But you are right that the lean was often too prominent.

However, your claim that: "For every insightful article they publish, you can find another which is dripping in disdain for any given minority group."

That is just plain fabrication. And it casts a shadow over your personal credibility to say that.

MND carried significant amounts of very important information on men's issues to over 20 million people during its years online. If your aversion to the other information there is so strong that you actually believe that the MRM is better off without MND, then I am going to guess you have a left wing political agenda.

I mean, otherwise, why would you be here telling lies?

Pure polemic bullshit on your part. That is like saying that anyone on the left is a pro Mao murderer. You are 100% nuts to even think of making that kind of statement.

And the world is not misrepresenting me, just a few extremists on both sides of the political spectrum. Or are you confusing your views with that of the whole world?

And I got news for you, the extreme left is just as racist and sexist as anyone on the extreme right- they just target different people. But that is OK, I know my own record, including how I openly targeted the right and the left for their anti male policies. And I also know that even commenters that promoted racial or sexual hatred at MND were unceremoniously booted.

Now, do yourself a favor and go back to your Al Franken worship club.

Maybe one of these days men will wake up and figure out that both the left and the right don't have the best interest of men in mind.

well for one here is a link talking about their problems with some male studies groups, http://mensnewsdaily.com/2010/06/10/mens-studies-the-complete-freak-show/ , and this is how they decide to talk about the transgendered (besides the fact that they originally list them in the "freak" category

The circus of men’s studies has gone so far astray that they have coalesced around an ultimate masculinities icon, Raewyn Connell, who is a tranny. He opted to have his balls cut off and started wearing dresses, at least publicly, about four years ago.

Ask any transgendered person, that's offensive as hell.

And here is a wonderful article about how those filthy academics are trying to scam all you common folk http://mensnewsdaily.com/2010/08/28/what-about-the-destructive-influence-of-u-s-government-funding-on-science/

And here is a great article (http://mensnewsdaily.com/2010/07/13/university-of-illinois-professor-fired-for-standing-by-catholic-teaching-on-homesexuality/) about where if you oppose DOMA then you must have this agenda

anti-DOMA behavior this week that he supports this crushing assault on freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the traditional family, and the Judeo-Christian ethic.

And here is an article about how liberals what to kill white people http://mensnewsdaily.com/2010/06/30/kill-whitey-and-other-leftist-fantasies/

Cue influx of misogynist teaparty fools posting inflammatory articles to lend soap boxes for their inflammatory viewpoints and rhetoric.

Southern guy hit the nail on the head. MND, for a real long time now, hasn't been a forum to voice Men's issues, it's been a forum to air conservative (extreme) right-wing issues that on occasion trip over something to do with misandry.

Having written to some of the main contributors on the site myself I got back the same answer multiple times:

"we know we know, it's been an issue for a long time".

The site itself has known it's an issue, doesn't stop them from posting complete partisan crap. I was a reader who walked away long ago because that shit turned into print-form Glenn Beck.

I won't miss it one bit.

Let me rush over to XX and let them know that "MR" is going to be especially vile for the next month or so.
