A bit of fairness and balance is too much to ask for from a magazine.

Men built the world, they discovered electricity, they invented the dynamo, the car and the toilet. They built the power and sewerage networks and EVERY building in every city. They invented the bricks and the cement to make them.

The list of things men have done to make women's lives comfortable is next to infinite. Let's hear more on that side.

Meanwhile my daughter was beign raped by her mother and that sexism meant they only were interested in her false claims. Meanwhile it took my daughter almost succeeding in suicide over the mental, emotional and sexual abuse the numerous court ordered reports expressed concerns over before they did anything. Meanwhile I was jailed for her refusing to go near her mother again when the psychologist said it would be a bad thing due to her mother attempting to blame me for it, again. Meanwhile I was refused access to my children for years with nothing done but demanding I pay even more in child support because of it. Meanwhile I have had more time in jail than the mother who abused our children in such vile ways feminists would make it national news if it had been me and my ex was the one held responsible for it by the courts.

Yup, tell me more about how women have it so bad. Meanwhile a man peeing behind a dumpster in an ally where no one can see sits in jail as a sex offender and a women who molested a 12 year olf boy after getting him drunk is free with no registration needed and getting child support from her 12 year old oppressor.

It is disappointing that the New Statesman is publishing old tired hate lies like this feminist misandry. Shame you. You can do better.

After this man bashing tirade, I think it would only be fair to run some articles from a mra perspective in the name of equality,or is this like feminism,their voice and their voice only?

It seem after 150 years +/- of women having no say, and no voting rights feminists make it look like nothing has changed!
The women fought for equality in the (women's liberation movement) and men worked to give the women what they needed to be equal in every way.The feminists today bash men to put their own gender back in the dark ages it seems!
I don't get it??????
Is it power or is it equality?
Let the children have a fair change in life, because its not men who are being destroyed!!!

" Suzanne Moore has pointed out, this might have something to do with men like, doing more crime."

You mean like women working less get paid less, glad to see that it's not totally a lack of intelligence on feminists' part.
Or maybe men are victims of stereotypes here, eh?

"Poor Tom."

Thomas Ball committed self-immolation on the entrance of a courthouse. Media kinda forgot about that.

"when you consider the anti-woman agenda peddled by websites such as "A Voice for Men". "

It's anti-feminist, stop conflating the two.

"and label high-profile feminists as "bigots"."

and women who express glee at men getting their penises chopped off.

" by taping every conversation that they have with a woman"

just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean...

"Such websites are ripe for ridicule,"

Not a bit more than the tripe that goes in the name of women's studies.

'a pseudo-scientific attempt to explain the relationship dynamics between the sexes "

Hey, much better than giving trucks to girls and dolls to boys.

"that patriarchy is bad for men as well as women"

haha. Feminism is worse for men as well as women. Here is how it is worse for men:

and I am sure women can come up with a 1001 ways in which it harms them.

"Booting women back into the kitchen"

eh? Give women the comforts of kitchen and become wage-slave for wives? Are you delusional?

"It is of course, a matter of historical fact that women have been systematically sidelined and regarded as second class citizens for much of our time on the planet"

It's a historical fact that women have been useless for much of our time on this planet, and they should thank men for raising them from the lowly animals that our species is.

Masculism = sexist and wrong
Femanism = not sexist and right

Equality. Got it.

Thank you authors for all the free publicity! You are like some poor soul caught in the quicksand..the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Everytime folks like yourself publish something negative about MRA, we find we get a few more people checking out our websites, reading the issues, nodding thier head and joining us. Keep up the good work. Bit by bit we build our movement and inch by inch we push our issues into the mainstream of public consciousness. Your help is proving invaluable for promoting our cause.

With enemies like you, who needs friends? Welcome to the 21st century ladies.

@ Ink
I must address your idiocy in this statement,"For instance, if you choose to whine about how unfair it is that women's groups aren't building shelters for battered men--instead of, say, getting off your own arse and doing it, the way all those women had to do for themselves--then you come off looking like a petulant little child who still wants Mummy to pick up after him. Don't do that, lads. You can do better."
What woman built any DV shelter. I can Name ONE, Erin Pizzey. Look up her interviews on how that went. Other than that the money and the sweat has been provided by MEN.
You seem bent on little more than insults instead of addressing actual issues. So I do not expect you to let any of this sink through your skull. Perhaps, you should just go worship at the fat greasy altar of manboobs. He is dying for any positive female attention, even if it comes from a woman that does not seem him as fully human and worthy of the exact same protections she takes for granted.

"and it is overwhelmingly women and girls who are the victims of men's violence."

You need to go take a serious look at the stats on domestic violence, sexual abuse of boys, and violence perpetrated on boys before you make such claims. You obviously don't know jack s*** about what you are talking about, and it just makes you look like another feminist drone, spewing out the same old rhetorics that have been served up for men in the past 50 years in an attempt to shame and silence them. It doesn't work anymore, cupcake. The stats and your own actions betrays you. Women are generally way ahead of men in all these areas, and maybe it is about time that you start asking yourselves who TAUGHT these boys the kind of behavior you despise so much much.

Well the utterly idiotic arrogant hateful comments on here from charming names like "ALLWOMENARERAPISTSANDTHATSALLTHEYARE" and "FEMINISTSMAKETHINGSUP" (brave souls shouting at women and defending accused rapists anonymously) is a pretty good example of the problem with the way sexism works. Utterly thick as mud people presume a position of authority and call women hysterical for using facts then having a great big whining whinge about waa waa waa I am a man and something bad happened to me and THIS PROVES FEMINISM IS ALL SHIT AND I AM SO HARD DONE BY WAA WAA WAA GIVE ME A WOWWYPOP.

No wonder the article is so mocking in tone, it's idiots like you that it's making fun of. And I think it's pretty restrained.
