Men's Rights Activist Threatens to Murder Women Who Visit His Site

http://jezebel.com/mens-rights-activist-threatens-to-murder-women-who-visi-1676903340

Sounds like a real winner!



The creator of a new social media site for men - called Manbook and bound to confuse lots of dudes who are there for something else — is angry that women (especially feminists) might try to join the network. So he's issuing a threat: Sign up and die.

Joschua Boehm, who is, objectively, a real piece of work made it clear that his site was for men only. NO GIRLS ALLOWED. And because women so often don't listen, Boehm posted the following message (obtained by Raw Story) on the site.

"We would ask you women to respect our rights as you wish your rights to be respected. If you are unwilling to respect our right to freedom of association do not expect men to respect your right to life. Ok?"

<snip>

"So. Ladies. Learn what a right is and do not be violating the rights of other people, especially men, if you are not prepared to have your rights violated in return. Ok?"

<snip>

RawStory has more detail on him: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/manbook-founder-threatens-lives-of-women-who-sign-up-for-his-men-only-facebook-clone/

"The creator of ‘Manbook,’ identified as Joschua Boehm — but who also uses the names Peter Nolan, Peter-Andrew: Nolan, and Joschua-Brandon: Boehm — wrote on his newly-launched site, “We would ask you women to respect our rights as you wish your rights to be respected. If you are unwilling to respect our right to freedom of association do not expect men to respect your right to life. Ok?”

Boehm, who has a history of online anti-woman rhetoric, also maintains a website called Crimes Against Fathers where he “names and shames” women he believes have perjured themselves when leveling accusations of rape, sexual assault, or pedophilia against men.

In an interview with Buzzfeed in 2013, Boehm, speaking as Peter Nolan, said of CAF, “It’s a site that men could come to had they been a victim of a crime. The family courts are used to destroy men like this.”

In 2013, Nolan falsely identified a Ohio University student of filing a fake sexual assault claim against a fellow student, causing the misidentified young woman to have to leave school and delete her social media presence after receiving a deluge of harassment online."

okay, here's his page. The face up top is him ( in younger years ) so if it has that face on it, it's his voice in the video I assume. There are other videos on there he likes...rape isn't real, all women are violent psychopaths who are out to destroy men, that sort of thing you'd expect from LOSERS who can't get over their own bad choices.

WARNING: there is some NASTY shit on this page.

Well…I really must thank Raw Story and Jezebel for sending me so much traffic these last 24 hours.

ManBook has been struggling to stay up but like a REAL MAN it stayed up anyway!!!

We have only had to recycle the site once in the last 24 hours.

So THANK YOU!!! Raw Story.

It is really funny to me you put me on your front page when you have previously censored me and tried to ban me by blocking me from even making COMMENTS on articles on your site! LOL!


I'm especially happy to note he tells us his (and his followers?) plans for our legal system:

We are creating our own courts which will operate under natural law and we will give men the protection of natural law. We will do this because we asked the politicians to ensure that the judges applied the legislation fairly and justly and the politicians chose not to ensure the judges would do what they are being paid to do. The judges are not doing the job they were DELEGATED to do.

Therefore we are taking back the responsibility of the due process of law, as is our right, and we will run our own courts using all male courts and all male juries for the highest level courts. Women have been offered the opportunity to run all female courts and all female juries to put women accused of crimes on trial in a fair and just process. Women were offered this opportunity as early as October 2009. Women chose not to take up the challenge of creating all women courts and all women juries to show us men what they meant by “equality”. So we must do this job in their absence. Perhaps in a few generations women will have proven to the satisfaction of the men that they can try a case fairly and justly. We shall see.

Until then? We will run, at the highest level, all male juries in all male courts to hold those accused of crimes equal before the law by a jury trial of their peers. We will try women as equal before the law to men. If anyone has a problem with us doing that? Let them make their case in public in their own name.

TO DATE THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE WOMAN OF NOTE IN THE ENTIRE ENGLISH SPEAKING WESTERN WORLD WHO SAYS WOMEN SHOULD BE HELD EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW TO MEN AND IS WILLING TO SIT ON A JURY TO MAKE IT SO.

So pardon us men if we think women are liars and hypocrites on the issue of “equality” because it does not extend to “equality before the law” and this has been made very clear to men for many years now.


Oh, and he's made a point of updating his site with a little "soft porn" to titillate his audience; and I presume, piss-off the "sex hating feminazis" invading his fevered imagination.

Quite a piece of work is he.

And damned proud of it.

Thu Jan 1, 2015, 11:05 AM
Jan 2015

I find it interesting the number of people who learned some 19th century "science" and appropriated it to justify the status quo. In this case I think that might include "the law of the jungle" equated to "natural law." Something about the way humans were 300,000 (or so) years ago justifies how we are today since I guess 300,000 (or so) years isn't long enough for the human race to have evolved; or something. Of course, that might explain the paleocons**; that branch of the human race so resistant to change that they refused to participate in evolution because they don't "believe" in it, or some such.

**thanks to the Magistrate who reminded me of that term.

Anyway, Starry, I think it's just about a whole lot of hatred needing a/some convenient target/s.

Oh, and I keep forgetting to tell people; Happy New Year to you and yours.

Sadly, there is nothing about not believing in a God that prevents a reductionist world view in other ways.

Unfortunately, some will find a way to reinforce their privilege and have found their own route to supremacist views.
