I submitted this very article about two days ago and yet he "never published it." Then when someone else publishes the same shit suddenly it appears. Maybe he's mad because I pointed out white men pander to women too much? It's the truth. So, who the hell knows...?

This is exactly what I meant about men fighting men as opposed to realizing how they have been hoodwinked by women. I've already labelled this site as pro-feminist as opposed to actually being about men's rights.

You write: "Maybe he's mad because I pointed out white men pander to women too much? It's the truth."

You don't need to play the race card, your posts are some of my favorites. I suggest utilizing MANN's e-mail to express your concerns. I've done this before and have always received a fair response.

There have been many times I've submitted articles that weren't posted. A few times an article was rejected than eventually posted by another member. I would not take it personally. Overall Matt and Scott are very fair and I doubt they play favorites based on different opinions.

Maybe I should wipe some brown off my nose, but this is by far the best MRA site. Infact, without this site I would not be a MRA.

Mr. Reality your an asset to MANN regardless of your race or idealogy. If we become divided, our movement fails.

I have been baffled why some of my story submissions get posted, and others never do.

Lately about 1/3 of what I submit makes the grade; but the problem is - I still do not really know what issues, content, focus the mods are looking for.

Recently I tried submitting some slightly off-center stories -- for example one about classes to teach women pole-dancing, Swedish feminists lobbying for bare-breasted swimming rights, and other pieces that illustrate the contradictions of feminism. (I'm interested in the whole "raunch culture" as liberation issue.)

None of my submissions got selected, which is fine.

It would be useful to know why they were rejected, and for what specific reasons.

It's probably not practical to ask the mods to reply to every rejected submission, so that's why a clear statement about how stories are selected would be valuable.

Maybe it's already been posted and I simply missed it?

..from what I understand, the moderators volunteer their time to do this, and i want to thank them!!

..Nothing is perfect, especially from volunteer work...But they do keep the site running!!

If you could start your own blog or website there would be no one to select content but yourself. Even if it's just a small blog or website, it might prove interesting coming from a different perspective. We could always use another good, men's issues blog/news source. I don't think the ones we have now necessarily cover the full range of topics and issues men have, although they do a great job compared to what we had 10 or even 5 years ago. In all fairness, I don't think we men have yet discovered the full range of our issues, oppressions, discriminations, etc. The more input the better, IMO.

Some people will be offended by anything, because deep down they know they're not worth anything. "He said ho ho ho! I'm traumatized!"
