A Voice for Men

Tonight we are especially excited to have as our guest Anill Kumar,  one of the principal founders of the Men’s Rights Movement in India.  

India has proven to be a pivotal battleground in the struggle for men’s rights.  In recent years both the legislature and judiciary in that country have dealt serious blows to due process and presumption of innocence to men accused of domestic violence and sexual assault.  Dowry laws have seen men and their families thrown in jail over marital break up.  Men have literally been thrown off of moving trains simply for being in a car designated for women.  

We will be talking about all of these things as well as the organizations fighting for men’s rights in India on tonight’s show.   This is an important episode on the very important topic of global men’s rights activism so please join us tonight.

Join us TODAY at 4:00pm London time, 11am Eastern US time, for the next episode of Domestic Violence Revelations with Erin Pizzey. Episode 3 we will feature readings by American Phetote Mshairi, English legend ManWomanMyth, ideological bullying of men in Domestic Violence advocacy communities like Linkedin, men's own tendency to view other men's pain as unimportant, men's tendency to accept lies about their fellow man without realizing what they're saying about themselves, women's role in all this, and Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW). We also hope you will call in via Skype or other means to share your own personal views and experiences.

You can listen to the readings from this episode on these videos:

Please join us, again, at 4pm London Time, 11am Eastern US time, this Saturday (that's already today for most of you Brits!). We hope you'll call in and share your thoughts and experiences.

This week on AVFM Radio, you are invited to join host Paul Elam for a special interview with AVFM Contributing Editor Karen Straughn, also known as Girl Writes What.

Karen continues to shake up the world of sexual politics and was even called on to address the New York State convention of the Libertarian Party, where she delivered a paradigm busting overview of gynocentrism and feminist governance to a very open audience.

Paul will be getting the behind the scenes account of that fantastic event as well as discussing the upcoming NCFM college men’s issues groups, the general state of the men’s movement, sex and modern relationships.

The program starts on BlogTalk Radio at 8:00 Central Time. Those who have questions for Karen can call in at 310-388-9709.

Tonight we will be talking to Tom Matty about his particualr case dealing with the courts in Canada.  Join us as we discuss misandry, human right's violations, and his continuing struggle to try and see his children.

We will also be discussing Men's Rights Edmonton and their upcoming events.

Tonight we have as our guest Dr Tara Palmatier, Psychologist and MRA, who will talk with us about misandry in the field of Psychology, the politics of the DSM and men in abusive relationships.  Dr. Palmatier has been active in the AVFM community for some time now hosting her own radio show for a time and has been featured on other AVFM radio shows.  We haven’t heard from her in a while though so we thought we would invite her to join us here at AVFM News and Activism.

On May 31, Lucian Vâlsan, Huffnágel Pista and James Huff will be talking about the issue of kids being drugged (sometimes using force by the State – under the threat of having the kid taken away from parents) in Europe.

Europeans tend to talk less about the drugs that doctors pour into their kids, drugs that aren’t always necessary for the wellbeing of the child.

Can 6 year olds be correctly diagnosed with diseases like OCD or ADHD and put on highly addictive psycho-active drugs? How did the 1940s generation survived in such big numbers without these all-too-caring doctors?

Why are the kids now more than ever in need of more and more drugs? Why is the society drugging boys into submission?

 

The subject is tricky so please join us and call in at (001) 310 388 9709, or Skype in, after the news and the featured interview with Robert O’Hara.

The show will commence at 7 PM GMT (London, Reykjavik and Lisbon time).

That is 8 PM CET (Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest, Berlin, Vienna, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Bern, Bratislava, Prague, Belgrade, Tirana, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Skopje time)

That is 9 PM EET (Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Kiev, Chisinau, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Ankara and Nicosia time)

That is 10 PM FEET (Minsk time)

And, finally, 11 PM Moscow time.

And for the listeners from North America this means 2 PM EST, 1 PM CST, 12 PM MST and 11 AM PST (times adjusted in accordance with DST both for Europe and North America).

Men Going Their Own Way. Are they a movement? Are they just a reaction to modern realities faced by men? Are they a bunch of losers that don’t want to grow up? Are they the smartest of men because they are taking the path of wisdom?

Can they even be defined in monolithic terms?

And importantly, where to most MGTOWs stand on relationships with women?

In a special episode of AVFM Radio, Paul Elam will have a discussion with YouTuber and MGHOW Stardusk. We will spend an hour putting our fingers on the pulse of the growing MGTOW phenomenon. And of course, you are welcome to call in with your questions and comments.

Note: Instead of the normal time, the show will air at 1 PM Central Time. Stardusk is an American expat living in Europe.

The call in number for the show is 310-388-9709.

Tonight we will be dedicating our show to the topic of MGTOW.  The subject of much debate in the manosphere lately, MGTOW has many faces and it can easily be said to have a different definition for every man going his own way.  Although MGTOWs and MRAs are not necessarily one and the same thing this will be a time to explore and discuss the concept of MGTOW and it’s place in our movement.  There is no doubt, however, that MGTOWs are an important component of what we do here at AVFM so please call in and discuss this very important topic with James and Bob.  

The show starts at 8pm Central Time on May 28th.

That’s 2am in London on May 29th.

Join us on Domestic Violence Revelations with Erin Pizzey, episode 2: Men, anger, and grief. Discussion will center around how men react to abuse and pain and grief, and how men process their emotions. Our special guest this week is noted men's scholar and psychotherapist Tom Golden, author of Swallowed by a Snake: the Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing and its followup The Way Men Heal. He is also propriotor of http://thewaymenheal.com and the YouTube channel Men Are Good at https://www.youtube.com/user/1menaregood1

Tom brings a unique perspective that shouldn't be unique: men process emotions, including things like anguish and grief, differently from women, and instead of being shamed for it or told they're doing it wrong, the healing professions and society as a whole should explore how men are different from women and how they deal with and express their emotions, including emotions like anger, grief, and anguish--and how they heal from it.

Featured also of course will be your calls. Anyone who would like to call in and talk to Erin or Tom about their questions or their experiences with violence and abuse is welcome to join us. We'll look forward to seeing you. Show starts at 4:00pm London Time, 11am Eastern Time in the US.

On May 24, Lucian Vâlsan, Huffnágel Pista and James Huff will be talking about the issue of abortion and legal parental surrender (also known as financial abortion). A fetus is a life or not depending on what the mother wants, whilst the father is not even considered until the child is born and at that time, the man has only responsibilities and virtually no rights. Is this indeed fair to men? Let’s talk.

Considering the recent case in Tampa[1] and also the horrific experiment of Decre?ei[2], The Voice of Europe considers that there is a need for a sincere talk about reproductive rights for men and about Legal Parental Surrender.

 

The subject is tricky so please join us and call in at (001) 310 388 9709, or Skype in, after the news.

The show will commence at 7 PM GMT (London, Reykjavik and Lisbon time).

That is 8 PM CET (Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest, Berlin, Vienna, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Bern, Bratislava, Prague, Belgrade, Tirana, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Skopje time)

That is 9 PM EET (Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Kiev, Chisinau, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, Ankara and Nicosia time)

That is 10 PM FEET (Minsk time)
