MRAs/FRAs

MRAs, rape deniers, and shitty book deals: British feminists have as much fun as we do!

Thanks to the latest and thoroughly excellent Carnival Against Sexual Violence, I’ve discovered
PC Bloggs, a policewoman in the U.K. who blogs about police crap. (Police crap: It’s a technical term, folks. Work with me.) PC has two posts in the carnival, and the first one is a doozy. [...]

Attention men’s “rights” activists, white “rights” activists, neo-Nazis, skinheads, Ku Klux Klan members, etc.:

Fuck off. Go away. Do not post here. If you do, your comment will be deleted.
The intertube is a big place and there are plenty of websites where you can indulge your fetid delusions about how the nigras/Jews/bitches have ruined the world and robbed you of your destiny. Not here. [...]

A World of Twits

By Violet Socks · Friday, April 13th, 2007 · 13 Comments »

UPDATE: I wrote this post before seeing the “Update” to Jill’s, in which she reported the comments the AutoAdmit trolls made about her on their own board: “I want to brutally rape that Jill slut,” “I’m 98% sure that she should be raped (even if only in Internet Land),” “So seriously, I [...]

Once more into the muck

By Violet Socks · Tuesday, July 18th, 2006 · 58 Comments »

I admire Trish Wilson’s fortitude. She’s been dealing with Fathers’ Rights Activists for years, exposing and refuting their lies, and I don’t know how she stands it. Every time I encounter the FRA slime machine I feel like I need a shower.
The latest news from Trish is actually very [...]

A particularly nasty strain of the FRA virus

By Violet Socks · Monday, June 19th, 2006 · 14 Comments »

A lot of the men who are drawn to the FRA/MRA movement are probably just garden-variety assholes who are happy to blame feminism for their problems. But then there are the actual monsters: rapists, child-abusers, and wife-beaters who find the FRA/MRA rhetoric a convenient cover for their crimes.
The rapists are aided by [...]

MRAs exposed

By Violet Socks · Saturday, June 17th, 2006 · 17 Comments »

Red State Feminist has compiled a bunch of comments from MRA/FRA boards about the shooting of a family court judge in Nevada who had angered the fathers’ rights crowd. (MRA=Men’s Rights Activists, FRA=Fathers’ Rights Activists.) The shooter is believed to be Darren Mack, a deranged MRA (is that redundant?) who is also [...]
