"Woman-Bashing" is feminist code for "telling the truth about feminism."

I knew Earl personally and was the last person to see him alive and this article is disgusting coming from such an organization.

It's badly written, without references or accompanying links to articles, and lacking in allowing comments, is highly disappointing coming from an organization which claims a mission as high as theirs to help those facing unfair legal persecution.

My usual mistake, to think that persons in such organizations are well educated and open minded, is befouled yet again by a clearly gender biased state of mind.

I support academic standards and such missions as they purport. So I assume that groups like this actually research with an open mind and consider that maybe men are being treated unfairly and have far higher suicide rates that should be of concern. And finding such prejudicial treatment to be common would add men to the list of groups they are willing to anxious to support.

But no. Seems they have the usual bunch of raving, self entitled, narcissistic, feminists who can't possibly conceive that in their selfish quest of self indulgence, and I know from studies of NPO volunteerism that often the people working at organizations such as theirs are actually there for selfish rather than truly sincere altruistic reasons, "Volunteer Management - Professional Practice" copyright 2012, who if they truly cared to help those who are suffering and in need of support would be writing an article quite different.

Earl was abused. First by his ex and later by the government and agencies like theirs that pat themselves on the back when championing popular causes.

If they truly wanted to help and make a difference in the world then they should follow the adage of "what's popular isn't always right and what's right isn't always popular".

Men aren't popular to support yet. So helping them won't get volunteers and agencies a pat on the head and a well done sticker for their little book of "look how great I am".

But it will go a lot further towards making the world a better place then yet another group helping the usual popular causes that already have hundreds of NPO's and support.

True world changers go where others are uncomfortable to tread. If their organization was at all sincere about what they claim they'd be writing articles about how terrible it was that after such efforts to promote something positive, a shelter for men, they would be supporting the cause. Not denigrating it.

I hate insincerity and pretenders. And apparently that's what SPLC is. They'll help any suffering group. So long as it's popular to help them.

but that Silverman, who claimed men and women were abused at equal rates (in fact, men are victimized far less frequently)

... Silverman backed up his claims. SPLC going to back up their counterclaim, or just go with "Nuh uh, you're wrong!"?

Even though I'm not surprised, it still doesn't lessen the feelings generated by reporting such as this.

I made the mistake of making a donation one day to some bullshit charity without looking at it and I get this magazine in the mail every month. I usually just read it for laughs - but this caught my eye last night. I was struck how they never back up the negatives and are forced to go to the internet to grab quotes from commenters in threads to even barely show something negative.

It reads like all the rest of the smug liberal garbage the SPLC puts out. It's about the same as the half assed biased hit jobs huffpo pretends are reporting the news.

lost_garden_gnome · 2013-09-11T19:00:56+00:00

1st paragraph: ~~hung~~ hanged, seriously, who is writing this?

2nd paragraph: ~~Exploiting activists' suicides to inflame their misogynistic base is new nothing for the men's rights movement~~ Exploiting activists' suicides to inflame their base is new nothing for a movement, I am having trouble thinking of a movement that has had "martyrs" and hasn't "exploited them". This is utter bullshit, too

3rd paragraph: ~~in fact, men are victimized far less frequently~~ just not true The whole last two paragraphs should just be dropped, just news reporting other news, seems silly to me, but a plug is a plug, so........

That's fucked up. The whole Earl situation is just sad, really.

ZimbaZumba · 2013-09-12T00:48:53+00:00

The SPLC is increasing becoming a joke.

Wawoowoo · 2013-09-11T23:33:58+00:00

I think the article comes off well enough. They had to resort to using comments from an article on the internet, and they're not even about Hitler. It's obvious when blatant opinion is injected, especially the part where it calls lighting yourself on fire "violence". I don't think I've heard of anyone calling those at Tienanmen Square violent partisans.

Ted8367 · 2013-09-11T22:55:43+00:00

Those last two paragraphs were publicity for Paul Elam, AVfM, and the idea that "feminism is killing men every day". Free, too.

tallwheel · 2013-09-12T02:41:21+00:00

So Earl was a legitimate activist according to the SPLC, but other activists who support men's issues including the same issues Earl fought for are misogynist organizations exploiting his death?

And I have a feeling that if Earl had had a website, the SPLC would have had no problem blacklisting it before his death.

Prepare your blood for boiling.

Meh... They've planted their flag a while ago.

ThePigmanAgain · 2013-09-12T06:00:21+00:00

Pardon me if i don't bother reading past the insulting headline.

SPLC has been SRS infected for a long time.
