I visited the site today and found merely a page saying "Welcome to feministing.org" with a generic advertising directory below it.

Has the site been taken down?

I'd hate to think that some radfems had it removed, or that the webserver took it down.

The web address is:

http://www.feministing.org/

By the way, this is the SPOOF site of feministing.com, where MRA's pretend to be feminists in a comedy of the absurd.  It's also a good place for tomfoolery (Thomas Fullery).

Feministing.org gone!?!

Amynda didn't get enough *feminist* donations to pay her domain fees?  Or was she an ad spammer just waiting for enough cross linkage to switch pages? :shock: :? :( :cry:

Has Amynda's PM Inbox here filled up yet??

Amynda responded to my PM...

From the beginning it was planned to last for a little under a year.
R.I.P. I guess...  Too bad it wasn't on blogger or somewhere it could have just been left as an archive.

I looked at her site just a few days ago.  Did she even do a "Goodbye post?!?"  She lurks here.  She should do one here - maybe even an expose'.

I wonder if the space patriarchs had something to do with it.  :shock:

BTW, Terry, I haven't seen you around SYG... where have you been? What have you been up to?

I know the team behind feministing...

They made the same statment on their own forum: it was planned to be run for one year, and the real Amynda likely didn't continue it because she was tired of writing her posts. The other members want to continue it, so it might come back.

I'll keep you posted.

Men's Rights Activist

It was a very witty parody.  I loved it.  An old Asian proverb says, "The end of one thing is the beginning of another."  I wish Amynda well.
Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Happiness are fundamental rights for all (including males), & not contingent on gender feminist approval or denial. Consider my "Independence" from all tyrannical gender feminist ideology "Declared" - Here & Now!

Well, I'm about to enter a busy phase of my life and I don't think I'll be able to continue swinging my fists alongside the other Fightin' Vagina-Brigades as I've been doing over the past year. If some people are willing to take-over the site for me, I'd be thrilled. What do you say?

So Amynda, now that the Latino Boyfriend has split, I take it you've had to get a real job and *GASP* work for a living. Bloody patriarchs - can't live with them, can't live without them.
In 95% of things 100% of people are alike. It's the other 5%, the bits that are different, that make us interesting. It's also the key to our existence, and future, as a species.

Dang, I'm married and you split up with your boyfriend NOW!?!?!? I think that some of us here might be interested in taking over the work. It wouldn't be hard for some of us to imitate radical feminists. LOL

Amynda

Yes, please I hope some of you will take over.

It's not that there's no shortage of ideas (I was thinking of starting a line of t-shirts: "Do you like men? Feminism can cure you!") It's just that I have more pressing concerns that will absorb my time.

I hope some of you will give it serious consideration.

Pleased to see that the site is back up. It's a valuable resource. Satire is one of our greatest weapons and feminism is just begging for it.

I wish I had the writing skills to help it continue but unfortunately, while I'm pretty good at sarcasm, I'm no good at satire.

I hate to bring bad news, though: I'm thinking that maybe I'll stop making updates in August. That's almost exactly 1 year after I started and by then I'll need to focus on more pressing matters.

If you'd like to keep the site going, I'll be happy to turn it over to someone else. If no one offers to take it, it's going to go-off the air for good in 2-3 months.

Toss me a PM and I may be able to take it over with you contributing to it as much or as little as you wish. Obviously if I take it over you will always have all the access you want to it.

:D
