Just a quick heads-up: I’ll be appearing on The Stream on Al Jazeera America today at 12:30 PM ET, debating Robert O’Hara of A Voice for Men. We’re in the opening segment of the show, which covers both the Men’s Rights movement and (in a separate segment) the issues of Father’s Rights. Also weighing in on Men’s Rights, the awesome Soraya Chemaly. For the rest of the people on the show, see here.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Al Jazeera archives episodes of its shows, nor does it stream its shows online, so you’ll have to watch this using that “television” thing that used to be such a big deal. The show will be rerun on Thursday, also at 12:30 PM ET.
To find out if your cable/dish company gets Al Jazeera America, go here.
Oh, and I have a favor to ask: if any of you have a way of recording your TV and a way of getting that video into a form that could be, say, emailed to me, could you do that? I would love to have a copy of the show. Thanks!
Sweet! I can’t wait to see it! c:
That sounds awesome! Congratulations, David!
I don’t think I’ll be able to see it, so I’m hoping very hard someone will record it 🙂
I believe Castroller archives The Stream!

Also hoping it gets recorded because work… 🙁
Sadly I have no way of recording. I will watch it though.
I can make live commentary and mock O’Hara in real time if anyone wants.
I wonder if he’ll try the “my mom is a woman” gambit again.
I can’t watch it today, unfortunately.
The AVFM idjits are rerunning the JB article about David today for the occasion.
weirwoodtreehugger, I’m interested in reading a live mock-a-long.
Yay! David! That’s really exciting.
Sadly, me and TV broke up several years ago, so I won’t be able to watch. If anyone who is able to watch can kind of give a highlights reel here, that would be awesome and much appreciated.
A side note, now I want pancakes.
Robert O’Hara doesn’t have a long tie on.
Claims that a war is being raged on boys in schools. Of course he provided no evidence for that.
Now he’s talking about disposable males. Because women are apparently never treated as disposable!
Also schools and media are a feminist cabal!
David’s on Skype and he there are pictures of kitties behind him 🙂
Robert O’Hara is pretending to look really, really sad at the claim that MRAs hate women and feminists.
Now O’Hara is doing the “we have women in our group so we can’t be sexist!”
Isn’t he so brave, going into the belly of the beast like that.
Gotta represent the Furrinati.
Now he brought up a debunked study from the 80’s proving that false accusations are common but David called him out.
The host doesn’t is calling O’Hara out too! For using incendiary language and than backing off because he’s on TV.
Disgusting. O’Hara pretty much said it’s no big deal that 3 women are killed by their partners every day because there’s 300 million people in the US.
Asshole.
Oh good gods, that drivel again? Never mind that men are still doing better in educational outcomes than they ever have compared to themselves. It just so happens that women are also doing better in school than they ever did, to a greater degree simply because we were once barred from education all together!
It isn’t evidence of ‘failing boys’ its evidence that society was screwing itself over by barring women, blacks and other minorities from obtaining education in the first place.
Idiot.
It’s over. You did a great job David!
Sorry if my live commentary felt too spammy.
Excellent points by O’Hara, despite the host clearly having it out for him.
Great job David.
Thanks, everyone minus Woody!
Boogerghost, thanks, I’ll put up a link once they’ve got this one up.
Woody has to be a troll. No one is actually that oblivious. Right?
