Autumn is in the air, here in Armpit, TN. The trees are showing signs of being kissed with color, the fall rainy season has begun, the wretched Bermuda Grass has stopped its incessant growing, and mushrooms are springing up everywhere in the cool air of night.

David Futrelle at We Hunted The Mammoth examines the whacked mentality of the Men's Rights groups, that led to threats against Anita Sarkeesian, forcing her to cancel a talk on a Utah campus.
