"Practice" doesn't make perfect...,

The Media Thundercloud. writes "Any body a loyal viewer of the TV show "The PRACTICE"? If you are perhaps you have noticed a rather disturbing trend on this show. This show, like many others, more and more often is dipicting what I refer to as "Male-bondage" senerios. This is when a man is tied up by a woman or women and is threatened physicaly and sexual inuendos are perpetualy made to the bound man. Often times the woman will hold a gun to the mans genitals or elbow or punch him there while she has him tied. Any time I have seen "The PRACTICE" this senerio seems to ALWAYS be being played out. I just saw a preview for the show this morning, and sure enough I see yet another woman holding a man captive, gagged and tied to a chair, while she makes sexual comments and kisses him "affectionatly". Anyone who hasn't beleived me that this is a perpetual (and phsycolocicaly damageing) theme on this show (and many others) just watch the episode I'm talking about. It airs on Sunday nights, on ABC. I'm not sure of the time. Don't worry if you miss it. The way this show depicts men, I'm SURE you'll get another opportunity to see an example of what I'm talking about. Personaly, I think we should make it a PRACTICE to boycott "The PRACTICE". AND let them know this sort of bull $#!t will not be tolerated by men any longer. Thundercloud."

Thanks for the heads-up TC. Just a quick note though, I believe the show has been moved to Monday nights. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

RPB659, You're probably right.
It may be on Monday night.
But I don't make a PRACTICE of watching the PRACTICE,.
Sorry for the bad joke. (They're the only kinds I know.)

ANY David E. Kelley series inevitably involves some sick, bizarre, and-- usually-- anti-male sexual innuendos, revolving around some glorification of lawyers which is likewise completely out of touch with reality.
I remember an episode of "L.A. Law" some years back with similar scenes, so it's clear where they got it.

There's a nice little commmentary-site called

http://www.geocities.com/davidekelleymustdie

that reviews the various David E. Kelley disasters, but which scrapes the surface of his escapades; the man is a true hollywood pervert of the highest level of mental disturbance and soft-core porn which would make Jerry Springer and Larry Flynt blush; however for some reason television thrives on such lunacy, and it's getting really sick.

Good to see you TC!

I'd rather sit on a cactus than watch the practice.

OTOH I suppose we need to see the sorts of misandry that is out there. It never ceases to amaze me how hateful shows can be towards men and so few people even notice. It is so accepted it is a part of the culture. Unreal.

Maybe I will tape it and put up the segment on the web.

Thomas, thank you.

And yes, If you can indeed tape it and show it on the web, that would be a good idea. Let people see this garbage raw.
You might want to mention that this is the rule not the exeption in the treatment of men in the media. Especialy, as IncredibleTulkas mentioned, when it comes to David Smelly..., er..., I mean KELLY's work.
I think David Smelly, I mean Kelly, is like Quintan Terrantino, He is a latent Homosexual that has a bizzare fastination with, and likes his guys trussed up.
I don't care what someones sexual orientation is or what their sexual "opinions" are., Just as long as decent folks don't have to have it rammed down their throats. ...Okay, Okay, Bad choice of words, but you all know what I mean...!

Actuall one thing that I noticed in David Kelly's "Bostin Public" show(I watch it because my mom was a teacher, and so I understand just how farfetched the show is.) was that on about 5 seperate occations in two seasons the show made a major plot on a teacher's relationship with their students getting a little too intence... 4 times, the teacher was male and the student female.

I think David Kelly really has some issues he needs to take to a shrink, as opposed to taking them to primetime.

This is my response to the idiots who just say "don't watch it," i.e. it's defamatory towards men in our culture, and erodes respect for them and their rights.

TC:

Thanks for submitting that piece about the practice. It is encouraging to see you and others challenging that "b.s. misandry" when it rears its ugly head.

I went to a domestic violence conference in Southern Cal this last week at a University. Many feminists from that movement were there and I wish I could have photographed all the torqued out looks on their faces when they saw our table. It was precious.

We took the Purple Heart, 99% A Men's Club poster. Another sign said BATTERED MAN SYNDROME, THE COVERED UP EPIDEMIC. Another sign said, WHAT CAN WOMEN DO TO STOP THEIR VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN. Another sign said MEN ARE NOT DISPOSABLE. Another sign said, THERES NO EXCUSE FALSELY ACCUSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. You get the idea.

We were interrogated by the hard core for hours and we're prepared for them with solid statistics they didn't want to hear and denied, but we didn't yield ground to their obstinate ignorance (pig headed ignorance).

We were surprised by people who said, "We're glad to see you here," and "It's about time," and "You're right."

All in all, it was a great day, but exhausting. I hope we sent a clear message that their false feminist statistics and b.s. will not longer go unchallenged. I'm going to continue to work as hard as I can to "be there" and challenge them, wherever the feminists and their ilk are running their lying agenda.

If everybody just takes a little stand here and there, as you are doing, we may start to get back some of the rights we have lost. Just showing up and taking a stand does wonders for a man's self-worth and self-respect.

A major goal of d.v. training and the d.v. movement has been to shame and humiliate men, break their will. I personally think the feminists have driven untold numbers of men to major depression and suicide. This final sign confronts the evil they have viciously been battering men with. SHAME ON THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MOVEMENT FOR LYING.

Guess what, we found another d.v. function that we will be attending this coming weekend and we will be in the CA capitol this week.

With all of this men's activism, I'm having trouble finding the time I need to sit around and complain.

With all the news of the war, I've been feeling guilty about my meager efforts, when those young men are working so hard for our precious freedoms. As I've been engaging in this activism the thought keeps running through my mind, "I hope they come back to a country that treats men better. It's not fair for them to give so much and then get so little, because feminists use their hate agenda to deny men their constitutional freedoms." As the Marines used to say in Vietnam, "Get tough or die." Our freedoms are not free. They do not come cheaply or easily. They come at a very high price, and the old saying, "Eternal vigilance is the cost of freedom," goes double when the feminists are running their scams as they are NOW.

I am joining a group that will be protesting outside a state funded DV advocacy meeting. Naturally, it is run only by feminists (again) to "teach" the proper handling of these matters.

Could you send some of the solid statistics to my email bassbomb44@hotmail.com

I appreciate it.

I will update this website with more specifics soon.

I'm going to Sacramento tomorrow so it may be a couple of days.

DVMEN.org and

That's good. Who said these things to you? Women? Men? Fellow DV prevention groups?

See, I think that ifeminists writer was right: when men begin standing up for their rights, they'll be moved and pleasantly surprised to find out how many women are standing next to them, giving them support.

"pleasantly surprised to find out how many women are standing next to them, giving them support."

There were a surprising number of sincerely concerned women and then there was that hard core radical feminist element (Women's Studies on wheels).

The former you can work with reasonably toward realistic solutions. The later are all about their own man hatred, power, and control. They argue with everything said, even when they're shown irrefutable proof.

Considering their political power, and their vilifying efforts aimed at men, I do not forsee that the plain and simple truths about domestic violence will have the importance it should any time soon.

As I heard one California government official say, "We are literally in a pogrom against men." That fact is why I have previously referred to California as, "The Great Hate State."

To be a male in California today is to know the depths of living in a hostile environment. Decent men and women both suffer egregiously under the hate agenda of the California feminists.

Exactly-- what good is having freedom in name only, if it means nothing in reality?
Having the right to call the cops is a mockery of freedom, if they just laugh-- as they do in domestic violence cases against men, or the PIGS saying "we don't get involved in these things."

I haven't seen the "The Practice" episode yet but I also saw the coming attraction. I taped the program this evening to watch later.

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but with domestic violence being shown to be a close 50-50 proposition between men and women in recent studies and feminazis denying that woman on man violence exists except in cases of self-defense, I think showing a wacky woman with a gun harassing her tied up husband (I assume the tied up guy is her husband), I think David E. Kelley is doing us a favor by showing this.

I'm personally sick of only seeing male on female violence, especially when it's hyped up more than it needs to be and everyone is expected to cry for the woman and what she has to indure just being a woman and nothing is ever her fault.

Dittohd

P.S. I reserve final judgement until after seeing the episode and what's really on it.
