User talk:Larry Wumpus/A Voice for Men

Move to mainspace

I think there's enough to drop in and let the hounds of everyone have at it. Zero (talk) 19:38, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

• I'll try to fill in all the rebuttals over the next few days before we move it. Feel free to edit in your own. Primary sources are Manboobz.com Paul Elam and A Voice for Men categories. Larry Wumpus (talk) 00:04, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

  I really don't understand the side-by-side/fisking fetish popular on this site. Not everything can or should be side-by-sided, and the format should be reserved only for the cases when the target of the article is an actual document.

  You would have been better off by basing it on the existing article on Paul Elam (because of the large overlap in covered material), reducing the bit about Elam to a sub-section in a section about the site's, ahem, contributors.

  And it would be nice if you go the extra mile and cite the offending bits directly, using Manboobz only as a pointer. Now the numerous cites to Manboobz make it look like a lazy reproduction of somone else's work and open you to counter-attacks claiming misrepresentation.--ZooGuard (talk) 11:54, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

  I just figured their mission statement was a good jumping off point since it's them saying what their supposed viewpoints, opening themselves to having their cognitive dissonance and misogyny revealed. I'll write separate sections for their lack of genuine activism (they're basically run like one of those cults that demand you give them all your worldly possessions towards some vaguely defined goal), "fuck their shit up", and some of the feuds they've had.

  I'll go through and link to their own individual articles, but I think we should also keep Manboobz and other sites as alternatives since they burn evidence all the time. I do want other sources, but as a fringe site of a fringe movement, there just aren't a whole lot of media outlets analyzing them in anything but very broad terms.
