They say she needs to complete her flying hours for safety reasons, and that the rules apply to everybody. She won. I hope I don't find myself on her plane. Story here."

Well, they printed my letter regarding the Berbers. Here it is from the Forum section of the May 2005 edition:"

Excerpt-

"Feminism is the post-modern Women’s Ku Klux Klan

It is time everyone come to grips with history and imprint an important fact on our brains: Feminism as we know it is the direct ideological and political descendant of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK)."

The author is obviously a conservative, as am I. But, if you can get past that and read what he has to say... Well, I received a good history lesson. I thought he made some valid suggestions and good observations. This editorial should make a lot of harpies extremely furious."

cmdr iceman writes "Here we are again gentlemen with yet another story of a woman claiming to be raped when she really wasn't. What really vexes me is the degree of forbearance authorities have exercised in not releasing her name as they "consider" charging her. She should be forced to reimburse every expenditure and man hour wasted on her little stage production."

To say the New York Times is obsessed with domestic violence against women is an understatement. A search of the NYT database reveals over 337,000 “hits” on the phrase “violence against women” just since 1996!

The Times has gotten in a lot of hot water for its long-standing anti-male and other forms of bias. Visit the Times Watch at http://www.timeswatch.com/ and you will see the many ways that the NYT slants, distorts, filters, and otherwise biases the truth.

Keep your eye on this story. We'll have to see if she's charged even with something like negligence.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr., owner and publisher of the New York Times, is one of the most influential persons in the international media. In 1992 Mr. Sulzberger announced his plan to revamp the newspaper’s editorial focus so it would no longer reflect a “predominantly white, straight male vision of events.”

Soon, we were reading articles and columns by Anna Quindlen, Natalie Angier, and later Maureen Dowd that were demeaning, derogatory, and hostile to men. That hostility was reflected in one-sided articles about domestic violence that consistently ignored male victims.

Esta Soler, founder and president of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, one of the world's leading domestic violence organizations, attacked Glenn Sacks' recent San Francisco Chronicle column Domestic violence a two-way street. Soler labelled Sacks' column a "shameful example of cherry-picking and distorting data to confuse readers" (scroll down to see her letter).

As Sacks noted in a recent broadcast of His Side, "Liberal newspapers are feminist turf and they don't like when it's invaded."

CJ writes "Here is a disgusting display of police brutality. This man is clearly guilty of his crime but LOOK at the beating this man took while in custody. His face is so severely beaten the police made him wear a mask to court. Although this isn't a feminist inspired attack on men's civil rights like most articles here, it illustrates the fact the the U.S. has become a police state. The police and the legal system (as driven by polorized agrendas from the left and right) is out of control. Civil liberties erode as martial law takes over out land."

Ed note: This is indeed a men's issue. While having no sympathy for the suspect as such, do you think the suspect would have been beaten like that had he been a she?

On April 6 the New York Times published the article, Sweden Boldly Exposes a Secret Side of Women's Lives. That article included this description of domestic abusers by Gudrun Schyman: “It’s every man and in every class of society.”

The article did not provide a shred of evidence to support that slanderous statement, nor did reporter Lizette Alvarez challenge or dispute the comment.

When it comes to committing domestic violence, women are fully the equal of men. Scores of research studies in the United States and elsewhere show that women are just as likely as men to engage in partner aggression. And fully 38% of persons who suffer injuries from domestic violence are male. [See http://www.mediaradar.org/media_fact_sheet.php]

But the New York Times consistently portrays the domestic violence issue as men who beat up their wives and girlfriends. That depiction is scurrilous and false.

zozo writes "Professor Catharine MacKinnon recently spoke at Stanford, equating violence against women with the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US. “The number of people who died at [the terrorists’] hands is the same as the number of women who die at men’s hands-every year,” she said. “A kind of war is being fought, but there is no name for this war in which men are the aggressors and women the victims.”

Does this sort of rhetoric really help gender equity?"
