Those of you who have been waiting with bated breath to hear what the “editors” of our favorite men’s rights hate site, A Voice for Men, think of the Occidental College fiasco can now unbate their breath, as AVFM head boy Paul Elam has stepped forward to explain it all to us in a post that contains quite possibly the most ridiculous two sentences ever written about higher education:
The modern academic climate in the United States can be likened to a table that rests on four legs. Those legs are rape hysteria, demonization of men, fraudulent academic feminism and the continual erosion of due process for men and other Constitutional principles.
Yep, an actual adult human being sat down and typed those sentences out, looked at them and said, yep, that looks good to me, and then posted them on his website.
In honor of these two sentences, I would like to announce the HISTORIC MAN BOOBZ SLIGHTLY BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2013 TABLE OF MISANDRY ART CONTEST.
Your challenge: Draw a picture of that table, and post it in the comments below.
I will post the best pictures, and possibly also the worst, in a followup post.
Nothing else in Elam’s post quite lives up to the GIANT TABLE OF ACADEMIC MISANDRY, but there is some other bullshit worth mentioning.
Elam makes a big point of saying that
AVFM was not engaged in this particular event, nor do we officially endorse what happened. We do not denounce it, either.
The event in question, in case you haven’t been following the controversy, involved a bunch of idiot MRAs and other misogynists from the Men’s Rights subeddit and 4chan flooding Occidental College’s anonymous rape reporting website with false reports of rape in order to break the system; the school ended up having to sort through at least 400 such reports.
After Elam lays out his “official” position of neutrality on the “event” he goes on to say that because Occidental’s rape reporting system sits atop his metaphorical TABLE OF MISANDRY
it not only should be a target, it necessarily will be because a long-due backlash against the processes that put it there is emerging from many corners of society. That backlash is 100% justified. Indeed, that backlash can perhaps be seen as proof that we may have reason to hope for society yet.
Yeah, that kind of, sort of, just a teensy bit, sounds like an endorsement of the false reports.
As did the comment from AVFM “Editor-in-Chief” John “The Other” Hembling the other day, in which he wrote of the MRAs spamming Occidental:
GOOD! Go forward, brothers, and fuck their shit up.
And apparently Hembling took his own words to heart; the teaser for his own post on the subject at AVFM — which can currently be seen at the top of this page — declares that he was one of those who had trolled Occidental with fake reports.
So AVFM doesn’t endorse the false allegations, but it sees the backlash of which it is a part as a sign that there might be hope for humanity after all.
And AVFM didn’t engage in posting false allegations — oh, except for its Editor-in-Chief, whose participation in the trolling AVFM trumpeted on its front page.
Good job, guys.
There’s a lot more bullshit in the post, but it’s the night before the night before Christmas, and I’ve had enough of MRAs for now.
Happy holidays. May yours be MRA-free!
Awww, no drawings yet? I should warn you, it’s been a few years since art school:

I’m not sure if this is the Table of Misandry or the Occasional Table of Cthulhu.

So I thought I’d give a whack at it
My take on manboobz table of misandry,

I don’t know how David resisted adding this gem of a quote.
Senior management. Hearty LOL.
In the end, Elam sees this fiasco as a warning to the Feminist Overlords of future oppression-fueled violence, because GRRRR!
I guess when you write a piece that’s non-stop disingenuous horseshit, you really have to work to get that extra dollop of stupidity for the kicker. Has Elam discussed the parallels between the African-American civil rights movement and the mighty Men’s Movement of today? If he has, it must have produced more wreckage then any train wreck in history.
And a Merry Christmas to all Man Boobzers everywhere!
So I haven’t been around the comments section here much lately, but I was in the mood for some stupid fun with photoshop and thought I’d offer up a table based on Elam’s design:

I love the table’s expression, Polliwog. 🙂
Two classic AVFM comments on Elem’s piece.
This first one is even funnier when you remember they’re outraged because the mainstream media doesn’t take them seriously as activists (or people). Shrek6 directed his ire towards young ladies who attend colleges like Occidental.
The first thing someone wrote in response to his post:
ZimbaZumba aims high when he sings the praises of the now infamous nitwits behind the false rape reports spamming.
I am now singing a rousing rendition of ‘We Shall Overcome”.
Rick Santorum’s:
…was a pretty hard act to follow, but I had nary a doubt Paul Elam was up to the task.
Brooked – that first one’s a classic.
Indiscriminate sex in a breeding program? Guess who doesn’t know jack about animal breeding, along with everything else.
I notice he never mentions who these evil-minded snotty little girls (funny how little girls is his term of choice regarding women having sex) are having sex with. Is it at all possible that in most cases it’ll be with … men?
So once again we’re left with Mr “you’re anathema to me” projecting madly, since it’s pretty obvious no young woman, at college or anywhere else, is going to fuck him, ever.
Urk, with all the talk about ablesist shit, I let “madly” slip in! Try “wildly”.
(I’d say it was Madly but I don’t think Mads would appreciate being in the same sentence as some dipshit MRA.)
The MRM is to the Civil Rights Movement as the WBC are to the GSM rights movement.
Also, how does filing false rape reports through an anomynous survey which has a field for the survivor to imput gender of the accused in any way help men? And how is claiming that there’s no such thing as rape culture going against “status quo”, at all? Isn’t rape apologia the norm?
Very best wishes to you all for the holiday season and beyond. Hugs and cat snuggles to anyone who wants them (the female branch of my personal Furrinati does love her snuggles) 🙂
Season’s Greetings to all at Manboobz 🙂
If you come to this site to have your faith in humanity destroyed, it’s only because you don’t hang around for the comments. May your holidays be happy everybody!
Seasons greetings, happy thoughts
hope you get gifts and love enough
better tidings, snow and sludge
or some sun, for that daylight touch
I hope you, yes you, find a slice of joy
and perhaps my rhyming ploy
can make you grin at these seasons tidings
measured out in doublet writings
Soon it’ll be a brand new year!
full of screams and tears and cheer!
and there’ll be MRA inanity
and much profanity
(but also remembered humanity
and soothing of all sorts of insanity)
I wish you the best and better still
that fewer people next year
stumble across the red pill!
Kitteh — you don’t owe me a unicorn since you caught yourself quickly. Can we go three more hours? Will my pair of unicorns not get a friend today?
“I find you repugnant and you are anathema to the society our forefathers fought and died for.”
Funny, the only people I’ve ever walked in on in a compromising position were an ROTC dude and his GF. (Guys, your room was 20′ further away, you had to stop at the couch? Block the pizza and your roommate’s room why don’t you?)
Non-Americans — ROTC is basically officer training for college students. Future military in other words.
I’m an interior designer. I’ve never attempted to draw a table made of awareness ribbons, so be gentle. Pretty much every color is associated with some gynocentric conspiracy to marginalize men’s issues, save the prostate cancer one (absent here, it is kryptonite to the feminist infrastructure, thus could not hold up the climate of education)
So we have white: violence against women awareness
Indigo: stalking and harassment awareness
Purple: gynecological and gender cancer, lgbt, hate crime awareness
And of course pink! Girly breast cancer awareness, sucking all funds from male cancer causes.
The table top is glass with clouds floating through it (climate of educational system, har har) and you may notice they’re a bit grey, as a storm is brewing….

I vote for angharad’s submission. Captures it all in a nutshell! Hilarious! Love all the other entries too. 🙂
Oh and speaking of the holidays, (TW rape) is anyone else extremely disturbed whenever “baby it’s cold outside” comes on the radio? An Xmas song about daterape – festive!
Well, I’m sure if Dr. King and Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, they’d be spamming some American college’s online anonymous rape reporting system. Yep, that’s exactly what they’d be doing. Those two non-violent civil rights leaders would so totally be down with “fuck their shit up.” Also zombie Oscar Wilde would join in. Then they’d have an anti-misandry rally. It’ll be awesome.
And I can’t decide which Table of Misandry I like the best. They’re all so funny.
And a happy winter holiday season to everyone.
So uh … Human furniture is a kink thing. I would contribute but I am terrible at drawing.

I know a few uni professors who feel that considering they apparently have so much influence on the world, they’d really like a raise.
Anyway, happy winter season to everyone.
