A Voice for Men, also known as AVfM, AVFM, or AV4M, is a United States–based for-profit limited liability company and online publication founded in 2009 by Paul Elam.[1] It is the largest and most influential site of the men's rights movement.[2][3][4][5] Its editorial position is strongly antifeminist; it frequently accuses feminists of being misandrist.[6]

For years, the site operated a website devoted to doxxing women.[6][7] In 2018, the Southern Poverty Law Center categorized AVFM as a male supremacist hate group.[8][9]

The claim that Elam and his friends are merely trying to have a conversation about the rights of men in modern society is bogus. What it's really about is the defamation of women as a group; that's called misogyny.
