Man Murdered and Eaten in Phillipines Over Accidental Touch

Well I imagine there may be more to the story that just the reported accidental butt-touching incident, but it does point up the extremes some men will go to in order to "protect" a woman. This is misandric chivalry at its "finest", combined perhaps with a great deal of family dysfunction and mental health problems.

Mens names made public for soliciting sex

apetr writes ""The names of 16 men convicted of soliciting prostitution have gone up in big,
The billboards are part of an offensive by several neighborhood associations southwest of downtown Omaha to stop prostitution by outing the men who pay for it."

Thats right folks, there is no worse crime in the world. What about the women, are they "protected". Why don't they put up their names in lights? I forget, by being female, they are innocent! Here is the article"

More articles calling out domestic violence

jadeforrest writes "There are two more articles I've noticed this week that have called violence by women domestic violence:

here

and

over here

While there is still a lot of work to do before domestic violence services are available for all (man or women, gay or straight, old or young), this represents a large shift in the media's coverage. I wasn't seeing these articles a couple of years ago."

Judge tells teens to fear rape in prison

NextEntity writes "These people aren't even trying to deny the cruel and unusual punishment anymore. While I'm all for shock tactics if they work to turn around young kids lives, threatening them with man on man rape in a federal prison by a judge whom acknowledges this goes on seems over the top. Remember rape is only bad if someone without a penis is involved boys, otherwise its funny as a kick in the groin.

Web page lists movies featuring male groin attacks

Anonymous User writes "Someone has done a listing of movies where men are hit in a certain sensitive area by females. As of this date, there are 1,560 movies listed. Some of the descriptions seem to almost take pleasure in what happens. On the other hand, this could serve as an instance of how pervasive male groin attacks are in movies (compare it to equivalent attacks on females.) Of course, it is easy to find amusement from something as long as it happens to someone else."

YahooNews reports here that Andre Rison is to be arrested for failure to pay C/S payments.

Of course if his ex denies him visitation, that's just fine, though.

Dinosaurs out!

Anonymous User writes "OK, I guess I knew that India is conservative in many respects, but wow, check this out!

BJP leader Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday advocated the need for a regulatory body "to stop distortion of women's image in society."

"In the name of entertainment, it is despicable the way women are portrayed in the so-called popular primetime soap operas," the deputy leader of Rajya Sabha said

... She said women are increasingly shown as conspirators and home breakers in these soaps and serials, causing a negative impact on the society, particularly children.

"During my tenure as the Information and Broadcasting Minister I took off the air many ads that were offensive to women," she said, stressing immediate need for a body to screen and monitor the serials.

Swaraj said she had raised in Parliament the issue of formation of a broadcasting regulatory authority as a follow up of the Convergence Bill she introduced during her tenure.

If nothing else, this is more proof that ultra conservatives and feminists are reading from the same hymn sheet.

Thank the Lord that the West isn't this bad .... lol"

Misandric Expedia commercial

mens_issues writes "Expedia.com has a commercial in which a man and his wife are discussing vacation plans. The man is looking up places to see in New York on his laptop. The wife asks if they would be able to see a play called Magique. The man imagines himself at the play, where the actors strip off his shirt and paint a goofy face on his chest. The man then suggests an alternative event.

Crime if slapped by men but not by women

bharati writes "In this article in outlook magazine in India it mentions that it is a crime to slap a women and then it makes old discredited notions about how Australian men abuse women . In another article in India however a police constable who has been regularly beaten by his wife is given advice on how to "Please" his wife so that she will hit him less. Different strokes for Different Genders I guess"

There Is Good Out There

I almost always enjoy FredOnEverything. Quite often, the guy hammers the nail smack dabby on the noggin, and I particularly enjoyed this piece.

Fred makes a distinction between many US women and oh-so-many women of Mexico by saying about relationships with Mexicanas, "You don’t marry a hundred pounds of irrational anger looking for an excuse." Just tonight I was in the hot tub, at the gym where I work out. A woman sat next to me (it was somewhat crowded). I was stretching, pulling my left knee up toward my chest, when a large guy walked past me as he headed out. He caused a current that knocked me off balance and almost pushed my left arm against the woman's right tit. All of a sudden, I found myself struggling so that I wouldn't make contact with her. I knew I was facing a possible decade or more in prison. I sincerely wished she wasn't part of my universe.

Anyway, it seems the man in Mexico may have fallen in love.
