Shithead of the Year:Men’s rights activist explains why it’s OK to not care about female rape victim [View all]

[bluesbassman]

The leader of an online men’s right group defended comments made by his hand-picked successor, who said he lacked empathy for rape victims.

Paul Elam, founder of the website A Voice For Men, complained that feminists had conspired to underreport incidences of male rape and promote the victimhood of female rape victims.

“I don’t find it particularly hyperbolic for a man to say, ‘I’m not gonna give a damn about female rape victims anymore,’” Elam said in a video posted Sunday on YouTube. “They have tons of money, of law enforcement, of special programs funded by the government, of social consciousness – schools have Take Back The Night rallies, everything you can possibly think of.”

Elam was responding to a profile published Sunday by The Daily Beast about John “The Other” Hembling, who was quoted as saying in a video that he didn’t “give a f*** about rape victims anymore.”

This is absolutely outrageous. These two "men" need STFU. I'm all for free speech, but this kind of misogynistic bullshit adds nothing to any discussion. Hell, for these two I'd support the return of public flogging.
