Dr. Warren Farrell recently did an Ask Me Anything thread on reddit. I thought I'd post my opinions on this thread.

Setting aside the commenter's lack of grasping the satire, what steams me is something that Alison Tieman has noted a couple of times. It's a testament to men's patience and nonviolence that more men don't go completely apeshit on their female abusers. A woman (for example) puts cigarettes out on her husband or boyfriend, cheats on him, emotionally abuses him, divorces him, accuses him of abusing their children so she can get a favorable settlement, leaving the man battered and cripples in mind and body. And then, to pour salt on the wound, Jezebel makes a "funny" article joking about hitting their male partners.
Jesus Fucking Christ. And Paul Elam DARES to feel pissed off about that state of affairs. A man can't even get pissed off at misandry without being accused of misogyny.
There are days when I feel like humanity is a lost cause.
