Man Boobz readers would like to offer support for A Voice For Men’s doxxing victims in Toronto

STOP_Bullying_CLEAN

A Voice for Men has doxxed another student who was at the Warren Farrell protest at the University of Toronto. Her “crimes,” aside from going to the protest? She posted jokey comments on Twitter and a picture suggesting that it’s a good idea for people to get consent before having sex with other people. The Men’s Rights hate site has pledged to reveal the information of as many (female) protesters as they can find, and place them on Register-Her.com, its phony “offenders registry” which features feminists targeted by AVFM alongside convicted murderers and child molesters.

Readers of Man Boobz, in Toronto and around the world, would like to offer whatever support they can — moral or practical — to the targets of AVFM’s hate campaign. If you are one of the victims, or know how to get in touch with one of them, please contact me at futrelle [[at]] well [[dot]] com and I will pass their messages along to you.

EDITED TO ADD: If anyone has any messages for Sophia, the latest victim, I have a way I can pass them along to her.  Just email them to me, and let me know if you want me to pass your email address along to her as well. Anything you want confidential will be kept confidential.

This video is an omen that feminism and men’s rights can reconcile and eat fish together*:

*Not really

Her “crime” is being female in public. That’s it. Period. And now they need to put her in her place. What entitled assholes these guys are.

Also expressing my support for these students. Please let us know what, if anything, we can do along practical/material lines.

Huh, Register-Her wouldn’t accept my submissions for one Paul Elam. Must be technical errors.

Arrg, I’ve been trying to write something in support of these students that doesn’t sound condescending or mansplainy to me, but I’m going to give up and just say:

These MRA bastards are assholes for harassing anyone. They suck. Hang in there.

They’ve doxxed another one. Can’t do any fancy formatting on my tablet.

Also, what Falconer said is what I’d like to say too.

Damn, these guys are twisted.

All support to the women these assholes are trying to intimidate.

I just noticed they’re claiming “fair use” on one of the photos of her, which leads me to believe it is copyrighted. She may have an avenue to go after them and their web host.

It’s odd, but that feels like an endorsement for some reason. Thanks! (if I can take it as such.)

Please pass along my wish for general and specific support. If any of them wish to contact an ally on twitter, my handle is the same as here: inurashii.

Consider yourself endorsed! (You captured what I would have said quite nicely.) 🙂

I just read the Jezebel piece. Sums it up pretty well, I think (especially the part about them making it harder to trust real male victims).

Would Canadian law offer these women legal protection in all this? Canada has hate speech laws, and the whole registry could be in violation of them. Sorry, I’m in the US and don’t know much about law, especially for other countries.

There are also women on the registry who have been acquitted of their crimes in a court of law, but r-h puts them on there anyway. That might be in violation of libel laws, too.

I checked the image on TinEye, and looks like this image was taken by (and therefore is property of) National Post photographer Brett Gundlock as part of his Prisoners Project, portraits of ppl arrested at the G20 protests here in Toronto in summer 2011. http://prisonphotography.org/2011/01/31/brett-gundlock-prisoners-project/

I’v sent him an email letting him know.

Wow! Are you kidding! In response an observation that men are less likely to go to college and more likely to commit suicide, she tweeted GOOD.

That’s awful.

JudgyBore: Where are you reading that?

JB, taking her tweets at face value is less a sign of moral high ground and more a sign of intellectual low ground.

MRAs are constantly asking us to regard their rape threats as ‘jokes’ or ‘out of context’, but even the cherry-picked statements on @wowidec’s twitter are patently obvious as facetious satire — a parody of the ‘straw feminists’ that the MRM constructs on a daily basis.

She is trolling. I’m not huge on that style of trolling and I don’t endorse it, but that doesn’t make doxxing her okay.

You don’t really think that. You just want to be outraged over something, anything, and this will do until the next shiny thing.
