Back in April, the site highlighted a very articulate article in Ireland's Independent newspaper by Kevin Myers. This article created a new term - lifeboat feminism.
He also has wrote this month an even more perceptive article about the silence from Irish women's domestic violence charities over a case involving a male victim. This of course is no different here, as can be seen the silence from organisation's like Women's Aid and Respect to the case raised by Ian McNicholl in The Sun last week (link). Women's Aid said The Sun's use of Government statistics was selective.
The issue is raised because Kevin has circulated an e-mail where he says:-
2009/5/7 Kevin Myers writes:
Sorry to add to your burdens, and I am extremely grateful for your support, but I have just learnt that a major e-mail campaign against me is being organised on this issue
If you wish, I would be grateful if you would contact your like-minded friends – and their like-minded friends, and theirs also, and so on - and ask them to publicly agree with me at [email protected]
Your choice, naturally
The story was covered on Mens-Links.Net.
What this shows and in many ways to it reminiscent of how the current Government acts. If anyone has criticism, instead of looking at why they make criticism and whether it is legitimate, they instead personally criticise the critic and in some cases try to destroy them.
With so many vested interests and anti-male feminists who rely on public funding thinking they have such high status, anyone who threatens to undermine them or object to them is vilified and a witch hunt ensues. This type of Stalinist behaviour can be seen in Kevin's case.
He has had the balls to say what so many people think (male and female - just ask Erin Pizzey) and now he is a victim of hatred from people who we are supposed to think are nice.
Please write and support Kevin, we cannot afford for him to be a casualty in the war on men.
He is a great journalist - shame there is no one like him here in the UK.
I like how his articles really get to the root of the issue and challenge feminist hypocrisy, whilst at the same remaining well thought out, fair, accurate and not sensationalist

I agree with comment above, with only exception being I do not believe there are no journalists in the UK like him, just that they are too scared to publish the truth.
The tragedy is that what he said was a 'PC no-no' and for it he is receiving a lot of hate.
We must support men like him, that bring these issues into the fore of the public mind, and not let them get beaten down feminists that want to keep it quiet.

If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to receive the personal loans. Furthermore, my sister usually utilizes a small business loan, which occurs to be really firm.

Pour Kevin Myers, just another victim of feminist violence.
