They write letters... about misogynists

(Editorial note: Following is the gist of an email I received asking for us to write about it. The Vision Forum membership is the only thing I was unable to verify, although it may well be true and certainly seems likely given what I was able to verify.)

Old Spice has named their Art of Manliness 2008 Man of the Year:

Matthew Chancey.

Chancey and his wife Jennie, who runs a misogynistic site called Ladies Against Feminism, are members of the racist, homophobic cult Vision Forum. Vision Forum’s statement on homosexuality includes the following: "Homosexuality is not a victimless crime. It is a cruel moral perversion that wreaks moral, physical and spiritual havoc on men, women, children, families and institutions. The Bible makes no distinction between homosexuals, pedophiles, bestials and rapists. All are criminals, the toleration of which brings judgment on the land and devastation to children."


Matt and his wife also believe that women should not attend college, work outside the home, or have the right to vote. Old Spice’s parent company, Procter & Gamble, was told about Chancey’s radical, right-wing beliefs but did not disqualify him. Chancey rallied his fellow cult members to vote for him, and he won. Please blog about this, and urge your readers to contact the Human Rights campaign and GLAAD as complaints to Procter & Gamble have fallen on deaf ears.

Thank you!
