He probably has an agent. You can probably get in touch with him through his agent. But I doubt he will reply: he is probably hoping for an acting career, and anything resembling anti-feminist behavior causes one to be blacklisted.

Do you have any links or quotes for that? I'm quite willing to believe it, but is there any evidence?

This declaration by Patricia Overberg is one piece of evidence.

We (this group) had interaction with Dirk Benedict some time back. His career was pretty-well deep-sixed by talking about men's health issues. Although he wasn't speaking anti-feminist, Tom Selleck was trashed by Rosie O'Donnell (I hate that woman) for his stance on gun control. Haven't heard much from him lately. You might try to contact Bernard Goldberg (author of "Bias...") and see if he had anything on that. I'm sure he has stuff that didn't get into his book. And there is that lesbian writer who came out with... Damn! I forget. She wrote a book about the extortionist policies of NOW and others. Not the IWF woman, mind you. I'll try to remember today and followup with a post.

Frank,
Are you referring to Tammy Bruce and her book, "The New Thought Police: Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech?"

It could be that these people just weren't that good of entertainers in the first place. I've never even heard of Dirk Benedict and Tom Selleck's career hasn't been that great for a long time, except for a few "friends" episodes quite a few years ago. So it could only be a superficial coincidence that a few people who have happened to speak up also aren't very talented, or their career has alrady been in the dumps. Look at Eminem and his movie, he's still on top and look at what he's said about women.
If this were true it could also have to do with mens chivalry overprotecting women and not necessarily a true blacklisting of people who speak out against feminism or on mens health issues or guns.
The left also has some who have theories on blacklisting rock stars who might create social rebellion of some kind against the 'status quo', and also leaders of social movements by killing them, like MLK, Malcom X, or locking someone up in jail for the same purposes.
I'm not saying I believe or disbelieve any of this catagorically. But theories on censorship goes both ways and I'd bet those on the right would easily laugh off the above paragraph as commie propaganda and those of the left would just as easily laugh off political censorship of men speaking out against female chauvenism or mens issues.
And, who knows how this problem will ever be solved. That's my meager 2 cents.

I remember reading a news story about that. It wasn't Tammy Bruce. It was a different, more recent author, and I seem to recall it was a scholarly work Tammy Bruce was a good guess, because she has previously talked about this also.
The more recent woman talked about NOW's inflated membership numbers, and tactics, etc. You might try SheThinks.org I think ifeminist may also have mentioned this, but it's been at least a couple of months, possibly three. MND probably covered it as well. Sorry I can't remember more.

My Reply: I found this very interesting story and I think it's the one I was trying to remember. Is this the one you were thinking about, or is there still another story out there?

Ray,
No the one I was thinking about was Tammy Bruce, not the DullesNOW group.

Frank:
There is a web site, www.tammybruce.com
I couldn't find the article there, but the site wasn't working too well for me when I went there.
The last time I checked she still held to the outdated and incorrect statistics concerning domestic violence, that are refuted at www.batteredmen.com, Dept. of Justice and other web sites. This concerns me about her. Why is she so slow to see the truth about this?
It appears that many of her other areas of comment more accurately uncover the distortions of radical feminism. Her passionate comments chiding radical feminism makes you wonder why that group still has any support at all, especially government.

Yeah... I'm not an expert on her views, and as a lesbian, she certainly might bring a different perspective to the whole discussion. And it's a perspective that we might not agree with completely. I was just citing her a possible source for indications of a 'blacklist' for conservative or anti-feminist actors, since she's probably somewhat wired-in to the Hollywood scene.

Raymond:
I honestly can tell you that the bias is very real. Hollywood strongly supports the ideology that is presently in power in Sacramento. Under Gov. Davis some of the most Draconian, anti-male laws in the history of America have been passed regarding Domestic Violence, Paternity Fraud, etc.
In Hollywood all that is feminist is openly respected, praised, and glorified. Masculinity is opportunistically ridiculed and scorned. This is done behind the facade of political justice so the hypocisy of political correctness is not so glaring.
I'm sorry if I offend any Democrats but the politics in Hollywood like Sacramento is liberal, Democrat and anti-male. The little ripples to the contrary wouldn't make a blip on the radar screen.
When was the last time I was in Hollywood? Saturday before last (8 days ago). The city of Hollywood CA is 10 minutes by freeway from my house.

I know of at least one case (in LA, of all places!) where the husband accused his wife of DV, got a restraining order, custody of the kids, house, etc. and cleaned out the joint bank account as well. He knew she was thinking of it, and jumped first.
He had motivation, though - he is a probation officer, he sees lots of men who have been Pearl-Harbored. It can happen, and it ain't pretty, no matter who does it - but men can do it, too.

Did anyone notice the tone of the article toned down the DV issue? The man was "slapped around" not attacked or assaulted. It seems to me that the title of the article sets the tone for male victims, its your fault if a woman hits you!

Well, of course! Every man is an attacker, every woman is defending herself, by definition. Notice, too, that the tone of the article was somewhat light, implying that it was no big thing? Sometimes I despair of humans......
