AVfM International Conference on Men's Issues Change-of-Venue Information

Announcement here. Excerpt:

'The disingenuous and quite insane backlash against the International Conference on Men’s Issues has produced some interesting results. First, the onslaught of yellow journalism from places like Daily Kos and the Huffington Post has been unprecedented, even for those two myth-factories.

The other thing it has produced is a hell of a lot more interest in the conference, and more ticket sales. So much so, as a matter of fact, that we have opted to move to a venue that will seat more people and provide more security than was available previously.

While we apologize for any inconvenience that the move is going to cause, it is nonetheless a positive move for the conference. Because seating capacity was misrepresented to us at the previous venue, we were forced to plan for an overflow room where we would pipe in live events to a monitor at reduced ticket prices.

With the change of venue we will be able to accommodate all attendees in the same space at the same time.'

... that a few feminists thought they could stop or dissuade people from this conference by calling in death threats, saying they planned to protest in or outside the hotel, etc. I mean, did they really think THAT would stop it? MRAs have been the targets of threats, denunciations, violence, mischaracterizations, incessant name-calling, etc. Yet, we just don't go away, do we? Shame (well, try, anyway), insult, accuse, label, libel, whatever. But we're still here. And our numbers grow daily, especially with feminists behaving like... well, feminists.

It was all made up, doncha know?

Apparently, that's been a popular claim by feminists. The organizers made up these death threats, etc., as a way of gaining sympathy or attention.

They're confusing MRAs with themselves. Psychs call it "projection". Feminists excel at it.
