Advocating for the wrongly accused: not a "men's" issue -- a "people's" issue

A special "thank you" to all of our readers who sign the Petition to Reject the SaVE Act in itts present form. As we noted last week, the fact that so many women have signed this petition only underscores what we preach, and what the subtitle of this blog heralds: advocacy for the wrongly accused is not a "men's" issue. It's a "people's" issue.

Our advocacy for the wrongly accused is equally fierce regardless of the gender of the person accused. Just as no civilized person wants to see a rapist escape punishment, no civilized person wants to see an innocent person punished for a rape he or she didn't commit. Just as every sexual assault of a woman affects the men who love her, a false rape claim lodged against a man affects the women who love him.  I can attest that most of our emails seeking help are from women concerned about a loved one who has been wrongly accused.  Most of these notes are heartbreaking.

Gender divisions, crass stereotypes of "women" or "men," and efforts to malign persons due to their birth classes, are generated by people who love to hate. The rest of us know it is nonsense.

People who love to hate... like Change.org, who removed the petition from their search results!

I'm not getting it, Sam. What are you getting?

What our readers don't know is that this blog is under attack by person(s) who want it removed. We will be switching over to a different site in a matter of days.

Change.org removed the petition from their search results for "Save Act".

And woah, who's behind that? Some radfem?

I signed the Petition.

If the radfems ever achieve even near complete political power an era will usher in of totalitarian iron-fisted rule the likes of which nothing in history can compare with.

@Archivist: Will you guys be switching to wordpress/independent hosting?

Sorry to hear your site is under attack.

Perhaps there is something to the rumours that MRA and MGTOW sites are under Systematic attack.

So far no one has claimed to have traced the source...

Freedom,

Likely wordpress.

Most men, even after they have been burned by an anti-male misandry society and the biased laws, still do not have a full understanding of the nature of the opposing forces. It's more than just a woman making a false-rape claim or an ex-wife making false claims/exaggerated ones during divorce court. It is the anti-male Court Clerk intentionally losing his important papers or a female crime-lab tech who intentionally commits fraud with her stated test results. The examples can go on and on.

This is an excellent "up yours" to people who call us misogynists...

I get called that all the time over the internets, but NEVER in person.

And I am out and about all the time, and in the presence of women constantly throughout the day.

Not one single one of those women calls me a woman-hater...

They need to allow non-americans to sign :P
