New to the Manosphere?

A succinct and temperate sympathetic introduction to the Men's Rights Movement from the Daily Beast.  Note that most of the folks at manboobz were highly critical of the piece -- especially of its kid gloves treatment of The Spearhead.  The consensus was that it emphasized MRM's "legitimate" grievances and downplayed the violently misogynistic rhetoric that is the MRM's most salient characteristic.  Still, it gives the newcomer some basic information.  Ironically, given how gently the author, R. Tod Kelly, approaches them, the MRAs are busy hating on this article.

    Price always struck me as being a little off his rocker to be honest, though.

    1. I think they are all off their rockers but would not put it that way over on manboobz!

  2. I'd like to know more about Price's alleged feminist wife. I'd love it if someone interviewed her. I suspect she may not be as feminist as the article in the Daily Beast states, but if she is, I'd find it fascinating to hear about how she manages to be a feminist and still tolerate the kind of article Price writes.

    1. Yeah, I had to remind myself that Camille Paglia calls herself a feminist too.
