Pledge drive update: Coming up short

I’ll be bringing this extended Pledge Drive to a close in a couple of days, but I wanted to let you know how things are going. Or not going, because we’re still a long way off from my goal. To those who have donated, some quite generously, I want to express my profound thanks. But I need more of you to donate if we’re going to get to the finish line.

So if you haven’t donated yet, please consider clicking the button below.

You can also give by Venmo at David-Futrelle-1.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to the blog–by donating, sending along tips, providing technical help, spreading the word.

Human carbuncle Andrew Tate and his brother, along with two associates, have been charged by Romanian authorities with multiple counts of human trafficking; one of the four (likely Andrew) has also been charged with two counts of rape. The brothers and their associates are accused of operating a human trafficking ring that used “violence and mental coercion” to force seven women to participate in pornography.

A new paper published in the journal New Media & Society by a team of Canadian researchers examines some 3.7 million posts and comments from the regulars on the Incels.is forums, and it turns out that these dudes are really, really, really racist and misogynistic. I know, it’s a real shocker.

The Pledge Drive is going … slowly

I want to thank everyone who’s donated so far during this pledge drive–some quite generously.

Click below to make a one-time donation (or sign up for a monthly subscription).

New survey reveals that 52% of Nintendo Switch owners are female, infuriating dudes who think gaming belongs to them

The pledge drive is struggling! Please show your support and donate what you can!

In case you were wondering, there are still dudes out there who simply refuse to believe that women and girls play video games. Consider the reaction to a recent Twitter thread in which a video game industry analyst announced the results of a recent survey of video game players that revealed, among other things, that women make up half of those who own a gaming PC–and more than half of those who own a Nintendo Switch.

Hey fellas, is it gay to watch straight porn? One incel says “yes”

It’s pledge drive week here on WHTM. The survival of this blog depends on people like you! So please donate what you can!

Incels have something of a love-hate relationship with porn. They love it, because they think it’s the closest they’ll ever get to having sex. And they hate it … because they think it’s the closest they’ll ever get to having sex.

It’s Pledge Drive time!

It’s that time again–time to raise the money needed to keep this site running.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know what a unique beast it is. For the past 13 years, I’ve been relentlessly covering the ongoing backlash against women’s rights; now, I also cover the even scarier attacks on trans rights. I spend my time slogging through the worst that the bigots have to offer, so you don’t have to. And I try to do it with an intact sense of humor.

I bring you this coverage without ads or paywalls, or secret billionaire backers. I rely entirely on donations from you, the readers. Many of you donate on a monthly basis, and I appreciate it enormously. But I get the bulk of my operating budget through these pledge drives; without them, I can’t keep the blog going.

So please click on the button below to make a donation, big o small; you don’t have to have a Paypal account to use it.

You can also give by Venmo at David-Futrelle-1.

I want to thank all of you who support this blog in whatever way you can. It means the world to me.

PS: If you’d like to help this blog in a non-financial way, please help to spread the word about this pledge drive on social media; it can really make a difference.
