Program Note: ABC’s 20/20 story on the manosphere will run this Friday

[ismnotwasm]

It’s here at last! After numerous delays, the 20/20 story looking at the manosphere — and the part it plays in the online harassment of women — will be running on ABC this Friday, October 18, at 10 PM EST. Among the featured participants: the always charming Paul Elam of A Voice for Men; Anita Sarkeesian, the much-harassed feminist video game critic; and Jaclyn Friedman, the ass-kicking founder of Women, Action & the Media.

Here’s a teaser story on the ABC website which suggests that the 20/20 piece isn’t exactly going to be a triumphant moment in the history of the Men’s Rights Movement.

Naturally, the comments section over there is already filled with A Voice for Menners crying foul and spouting nonsense.

EDIT: And stop by here Friday to live chat during the show! (Well, live comment, anyway.)

1. Wow, the article on the ABC site has exploded with comments.

Loaded with AVFM defenders and apologists running amok and spewing bile.

3. They aired something else!

I was disappointed.

Wonder why they keep pre-empting it.

4. No idea ...

But I do like how David Futrelle is referring to the infighting in the manosphere that's resulted from this show a "cat fight".
