A few weeks ago the site commented that the the real reason that some feminist writers and bloggers did not like men (though there is a lot of women also hostile to their misandry) making comments on their sites was because they do not like the fact they had to listen to put up with people who disliked their dislike of men. They only want equality and freedom of speech on their terms, which means no opposition and no platform.
An example of some offensive, gratuitous and anti-male nonsense can be seen in Lisa Longstaff's article in the Guardian.
In her article on the domestic abuse consultation she complains that women need action not consultation - the argument here is not with that.
The issue is with the paragraph:
Moreover, cuts to refuges, legal aid, Citizens Advice and other community support remove the expert help women need to get any legal protection at all. Instead the government is putting £225,000 into a fund for male victims of domestic violence.
Firstly, the cuts to the services mentioned affect men as well as women, but the main issue is that she is complaining about the paltry £225,000 of extra money (women's refuges receive about £65 million per year and male refuges probably get about £500,000) that the undeserving 2.6 million male victims of domestic abuse do not deserve. She tries to make the point that this money should not be available at all and even worse it is due to cuts from women's services that is making this money available - when it is not. There is real hatred there.
How dare the government (she is effectively saying) give those men with their children (both sons and daughters remember) any money at all. She think its offensive. All those men abused physically and emotionally by women (and also by male partners) are treated with such disdain. There are so few services for male victims at a national or local level so to complain about this little extra is frighteningly mean and spiteful.
Her belittling of male victims is a total disgrace and she has shown she really does not like men at all. What other reason could she possibly have for writing that paragraph, and could you imagine the outcry if a man had written the same and reversed the genders.
Lisa Longstaff has a problem with the fact that women can commit domestic abuse against men. No matter what some feminist bloggers want, sites like this and also those people who commented on Lisa Longstaff's article at the botom of it will continue to speak up against misandry.
