I thought I'd seen everything in regards to feminist and men's right's websites until I came across this place: Misogyny-Central

I identified the host and filed a complaint but nothing happened.

Unfortunately, I checked the site out and worse, watched a video that the perpetrators of this vomitorious spew had posted on the site. I would caution anyone who found the pictures posted in the "Butchered" thread disturbing not to repeat my error.

There are no words to described the loathing and contempt that this site inspired... Are there no laws governing internet content? I'm gonna start making feminist sites aware of this and recommend that others do the same.

Sickening, and I'm pretty hard to offend (at least I thought I was).

SH, can you pm me the host name? I'd like to complain and include them in any communications about the site that I make to other interested parties.

This guy obviously gets off on response. He has a whole page of it I won't link to. "One of my members is an attorney and there's nothing even remotely illegal on this site," he tells one complainaint. (Guy, you couldn't find your own "member" if you went looking for it. But anyway.)

The site is hardly referenced anywhere else on the net, and seems to be drawing extremely little traffic. Best, I'm inclined to say, to ignore, the sooner it might fade (further) into obscurity or its owner, not rewarded with attention, give it up.

My god. I think it's best just to pretend these insane assholes don't exist. There's no point in listening to the bullshit they spew, because that's exactly what they want.

It's still pretty disgusting though...

At the same time, we're just four males who posted our thoughts on what to do about a woman-hating website. We should not close the issue yet… *looking around?*

I just clicked on the link, and the site is down. I don't know if it's just a normal temporary down-time thing or if the service provider yanked it. If it's as bad as you're saying, hopefully the latter.

Oh, I spoke too soon. It's up.

P.S. Welcome to babble, ShariHarris!

I don't think it is sick, I think it is a joke! Obviously the host got rightly screwed over with child support payments and the like.

I didn't go any further into the site, but we "North American and European women" as the site aims to target at are quite fortunate that this is NOT the view of the majority of men.

Reminds me of Patriarchy Online--I wonder if that site's still up?

Personally I think it's best to ignore them. It's way too easly to pour all of your energy into a few extreme morons like these ones, instead of issues that affect huge numbers of men and women and are more under our control or influence--like pay equity, family law, parental rights and benefits, etc.

I know it's hard, but say, best case scenario, you get the guy's site shut down. What happens then? He relocates it to a new server and convinces himself that he really is fighting the overwhelming power of Political Correctness--that he is, in fact, on a holy mission and can't give up now!

I've met people like this online before. YOu can't shut them up. They just pop up in new locations--like fungi.

Fair enough. Besides, at 16 members they're probably not going to take over the internet and I definitely don't want them getting any more hits.

What a joke (the kid behind the site)...
The video is fake, yet still disturbing.

Freedom of speech is a great thing except when idiots like this abuse it.
