Looks like he will take down his article--the fem pressure got to him. He needs the RVF to have his back. But he should be more careful about what he writes--he should know it would get major backlash.

For that kind of article, you really need a type of "free speech" hosting service. Hosting agreements say you can't promote "illegal" activity, and even though it's satire, that fact will be lost on the manager of the hosting company once those complaints come rolling in. No host wants to defend a guy who is "promoting" rape.

Thanks for the support, guys.
For the record, Anonymous did pull off a DDoS attack on my blog. I couldn't care less if they attacked me and me alone (the address/phone number that feminist trolls got off my domain's WHOIS profile are both out of date, the former by about six years), but they did me in when they announced that they were going to dox and harass my family members. They actually gave me the names of my parents and my little sister (I have two sisters, they missed one).
When I began blogging under my real name, I promised myself that I would keep my family as far away from my activities as possible. They read and know about my blog (including the rape article... they didn't care), and they're relatively private people, but I didn't want to risk them getting harassed over this (especially my parents, they both work in highly-PC environments). This wasn't a hill worth dying on.

I was observing the whole trainwreck live on Twitter. It's a shame the Anonytwats finally managed to blackmail him into submission.
Anyway you can still read his article here which was preserved by a Roosh hater ironically enough: [removed]

I'm not surprised by the feminist avalanche of hate, but to see Anonymous joining in is pathetic. These people are supposed to be standing up for free speech.

Hey Matt, what are you apologizing for? Tell each and every single one of them to fuck off. If you aren't going to stand up for what you believe in, joke or not, you may as well not even have a blog.

As for Anonymous, what I would do is find out who one particular member of them is who has been harassing you, and make their life a living hell with a lawyer. You can't do this to all of them, but you can do it to one of them. Once the others see that, they'll back off.

Esperar, I think that's being a bit harsh, the guy had his family threatened. It's very brave blogging like he does using your real name, especially considering what he writes about. Ditto Roosh.

On my personal facebook page I've posted about how chicks are a bunch of sluts when they think no one is looking. I had IRL friends get pissed at me. I even argued with one. I stood up for what I said, and even posted evidence for my claims. It has made me a bit unpopular with certain people, but if I didn't stand up for what I believe in, why even have an opinion?

I read the original article and don't see how it was any different from some of the skits on the old National Lampoon or Monty Python comedy records ("And now the sound of John Denver being strangled!").
Taboos in society change. Back in the '60s, insulting religion got your records burned. Now you get claps on the back for insulting religion, but rape is apparently the sacred cow. What troubles me is that people don't see all of this as transient and think to stick up for the larger issue of freedom of speech.
I've been insulted by Forney too. And National Lampoon. And lots of comedians. So what? That's kind of the point of the freedom we get in the west, right? I'm more offended by those who squelch freedom of speech. Their efforts would be better spent elsewhere...perhaps helping the ailing soldiers who come back from foreign lands in pieces while supposedly defending our freedoms.

I admire all you blokes for writing under your real name but that is a luxury I will never ever take.
