Pledge drives keep this blog alive! Please donate what you can!
There’s apparently a new trend on TikTok in which women film and shame guys who stare at or stalk them in the gym. So naturally, the exquisitely sensitive souls of the Men’s Rights subreddit are convinced this is going to happen to them if they happen to so much as glance at a woman at the gym. In a recent thread on the subreddit, a number of these quietly oppressed men shared their thoughts and fears.
Last October, my Fall Pledge Drive was going very badly, and the very future of this blog was at risk. But you folks rallied in a big way and, within a week, had raised enough money to keep the blog going. You guys were amazing, and I need you to be amazing again.
This blog is advertising-free, and I don’t have paid subscriptions; I depend entirely on donations from readers like you to keep going. I need your support.
As loyal readers, you know that this blog is unique. I try to not only report on the virulent backlash against women and trans people but to cope with it with a certain sense of humor.
I do these pledge drives just four times a year (last year, there were only three), and they provide most of the money I need to keep the blog going. (Monthly subscriptions provide the rest.)
If you’re a regular or even irregular reader of this blog, please donate what you can–either as a lump sum or as part of a monthly subscription plan. (Even a few dollars a month can make a big difference, and donating monthly helps stabilize the blog’s finances.) The link below takes you to Paypal, but you don’t need a Paypal account to donate.
You can also donate to me on Venmo at David-Futrelle-1.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support makes this blog possible, and I appreciate it more than you can know.
PS: If you want to help the blog in a way other than financially, please pass along my fundraising appeal to friends or on social media. This really makes a big difference in how many people I can reach. Thanks again!
Apparently worried about competition from Florida governor and anti-trans crusader Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump has announced a terrifying anti-trans agenda he promises to enact if (god forbid) he is returned to office.
The editor of the right-wing “news” site Headline USA thinks he has sussed out the possible next phase of the global conspiracy to sterilize the human race: the global elites will use vaccines to feminize men and cause them to grow man boobs.
I was reminded again today why exactly sex workers aren’t the “solution” for incels, and I thought I’d write a sort of followup to the post I originally wrote on the subject last October.
“Masculinist” attitudes are common among young French men
The misogynistic backlash isn’t confined to the Anglosphere. Indeed, a new report from France’s High Council for Equality between Women and Men finds “alarming” levels of sexism in French society, especially among the young.
A new report from the US Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center examines five years of data on mass attacks in public places in the US from 2016-2020. The report, which looked at 173 separate incidents, found that mass attacks are an almost exclusively male sport: 96% of the attackers were male. And a significant number of them were motivated by misogyny.
Right-wing pundit Phil Labonte, 47, recently ran across the Tinder profile of Kat Abughazaleh, a Media Matters researcher who monitors Tucker Carlson and evidently decided to try to embarrass her by tweeting it out to his hundred thousand followers.
It’s tough being an Asian fetishist in the west. Sorry, not an Asian fetishist. Just a guy who happens to have a crush on this Chinese girl at his school and who thinks that feminism has turned western women into “ungrateful assholes with shit personalit[ies],“ unlike the relatively innocent and uncorrupted young women of Japan and China.
