RADAR Alert: Stopping the Culture of Contempt at the NYT

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.

Sacks, Feminist DV Leader Spar in SF Chronicle

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."

Severe beating by the growing police state

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?

RADAR Alert: NYTimes Refuses to Budge

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.

RADAR Alert: NYTimes Falsifies Truth about DV

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.

Michigan Law Prof Decries "War On Women"

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?"

Online game promotes violence against boys

Anonymous User writes "I'm afraid this could be filed under "Yet Another Story About The Double Standard Against Males", or "If it were the other way around, there'd be protests in the streets".

This highly graphic online game encourages girls to throw rocks at boys. It makes light of it. Makes it fun. Rewards you with a graphic depiction of the boy getting hurt.

Where will it end?"
