I almost thought about adding this under Humor. Anyway, it seems that to the NY Times' Alesandra Stanley, "Desperate Housewives" is a terribly sexist, regressive TV show that never should have made it to TV. (She pans "Boston Legal", too, which apparently has William Shatner himself on it.)

Well, who knows. I must say I was surprised; I rather imagined a different kind of show being reviewed. But you know, why should it be too surprising? The pilot hasn't even aired yet so no one except media, industry insiders and select audiences have even seen it.

Hmm, maybe I *should* have posted this under "Humor" after all...

Unlike your tipycal misandrist DV organisation which does not even mention male DV victims, See It And uses gender neutral terms to describe abusers and victims. Unfortunately, their poster gallery and advertizing is very misandrist and one sided.

See It And Stop it advertizement to end DV appears constantly under the electronic version of The UNH newspaper. As most UNH students read the paper online, IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE AT UNH VERY MUCH!

Contact them and tell them that by portraying men as only the abusers they show absolutely no compassion for male victims. Tell them that men will be far more likely to join them if they had at least one or two posters about boys who are abused. Given their well intent from the start they may listen."

AngryMan writes "Not quite sure what to make of this one. Half the male population of Pitcairn Island (7 men!) are facing a string of sex abuse charges, but the island's women have rallied to their defence, claiming that the young 'victims' were coerced into testifying. Story

The fun never stops. And things are hotting up quite a bit, since they're not too fond of folk like us apparently.

Gene Simmons, AKA the front man of KISS, has just come out to say his thoughts about marriage. To quote "It's not beneficial for a man to marry." It's a short article, but it shows our beliefs on the marriage strike are starting to get heard. Article's over here in case you're wondering.

In response to The End of Mankind by Anna Weiss, that it was all a joke. Yup, that's right, gendercide is a laughing matter when it's aimed at the nearest man. Given the responses, I don't think they'll be doing something similar anytime soon. Then again....

Another violent femmes type story here. Apparently "empowerment" without good sportsmanship is the rule of the day in some girls' high school athletic deprtments.

I didn't know whether to post this under Humor or News. I settled on News since it sure wasn't a funny episode to their victim - or since the victim was female, was it that the cheerleaders were empowered and picked the wrong target to vent their righteous and wholly understandable anger against the evil, oppressive patriarchy? Or was it something else? I am sure a man or men are going to be held to blame eventually...

I doubt he would have said anything like the same sort of thing were he discussing lesbians.
