Doctor Mindbeam has left NSWATM for personal reasons. We at NSWATM thank him for everything he has contributed to the blog in these first few months as a moderator and contributor and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. A new comoderator will be announced within the next couple days.
In addition, Godless Altruist has left NSWATM in order to concentrate on setting up a new Reddit, r/masculism.
Back to the departure of Dr MB… Sad to see him go and hope he finds time to drop by occasionally. It’s not often I get lessons on improving the logical and grammatical structure of my writings.
And I still think that the work the team are doing is meaningful, thought-provoking and bias-challenging. Thanks everyone.
Ozymandias:
I won’t miss him. He was a total jerk to you.
Nat, you are posting from the same IP address as previously banned commenters Plus 8, Catalogue, Sigil, Cats and Dogs and Cora. Given your derailing and this history of sockpuppeting, you are now banned. Your IP address has been blacklisted; please do not post again.
Don’t disingenuous, you know exactly what I mean. What do you mean “we need more mra’s like him”? Manboobz shows you the same 50 or 60 mra’s out of 10s of 1000s, so you can’t possibly know about the mens movement and what mra’s are like. Also equality feminists do already all with us, look at ifeminist, you can tell by the content and sidebar. I think where you genuinely an ally of the mm, you would have a track record of posting in their areas, have them on your sidebar and and not be talking part in an organised… Read more »
I… think he means Manboobz.
“Organized slander campaign”? Wat?
Well, I think people are judging this project based on the post that announced it. You’re missing a piece of the puzzle the mm didn’t start out hostile to feminists they learn to be from experience in dealing with them.
” feminists who support equality are friends and not enemies of their efforts– as we are”, says she whos involved in an organised slander campaign designed to discredit men’s rights.
Tumbleweed: Unfortunately, he doesn’t, but he’s active on the gender Reddits. Nat: Godless Altruist has absolutely nothing to do with Manboobz. 🙂 He has never read it or commented on it and in fact thinks it quotes MRAs out of context and finds the extremists instead of the moderate MRAs. He is not involved in Manboobz or even with feminism in general, but instead considers himself an MRA who would like to broaden the appeal of the men’s rights movement to a greater audience as a way to become more effective. He has also identified the concerns which you express,… Read more »
Is r/masciism about american feminists trying to dominate the international men’s movement and promoting the ideology that misogny in the mens movement is a problem/equivalent and greater misandry in feminism isn’t?
Lot of people are going to object to manboobz types assuming positions in the men movement.
Does DoctorMindbeam have another blog I can follow him on?
Funnily enough, I think the total opposite, probably because my best friend’s little sister was named Noa. (or well, she’s still Noa but I don’t hang around with him much any more, is why that’s in past tense)
Noah:
Hmm. Sorry to overlook you. It’s just that you are not on the “Contributer Bios” page, which pretty much skew to the What-The-Hell-Am-I area of the gender system. Still, I guess we’ll be ok as I’m sure you must be manly enough at times. With a name like Noah, I kind of get this impression of a guy with a long white beard, a faithful wife, many kids , and an Ark…
“Heterosexual masculinity”? Man, now I’m just wondering which of those two criteria you think I don’t meet… 🙂
Well, I liked Dr. Mindbeam’s threads. I suppose I’ll have to guest post somewhat if there is to be any representation of heterosexual masculinity on here 😛
