Nothing "odd" about female violence!
posted by Adam on 01:00 PM June 25th, 2004
Domestic Violence alphamale writes "Once again, Reuters.com has an article about a woman assaulting her male partner with a weapon and has placed the article in their 'oddly enough" section. It boggles the mind how this sort of domestic violence always ends up as being considered "odd." If I were to stab my wife because I didn't want to watch some show she was watching (think "Extreme Makeover"), would the article about me stabbing her show up under the "oddly enough" section? Not likely. I'd be on the front page of every newspaper and be branded a violent, typical male who should be locked up forever. Providing yet another excuse for female chauvinists to demand that billions more should be spent on preventing violence against poor, helpless, innocent women."

It certainly is "odd" that female violence toward men often shows up in your "oddly enough" section. As a person of male gender, I'm really tired of the ridicule of men in the media. That includes the painting of concern for men and men's rights issues as laughable or odd.

I'm referring to your most recent article about a woman stabbing a man because she didn't want to watch soccer. Yahoo frequently puts female on male violence, even murder in their own "oddly enough" section. Strange how much more seriously male on female violence is taken. Put that in your "oddly enough."

One of the most durable comic strips in the daily newspapers when I was growing up and which dated back to the 1930's was called "Bringing up Father" it's main characters were a couple named Maggie and Jiggs. Maggie clearly ruled the roost (this was long before feminism) and frequently assaulted Jiggs with frying pan and rolling pin and this was never questioned as being anything out of the ordinary. Millions of newspapers carrying this comic strip arrived in millions of homes for decades and now some people are trying to act as if this is a surprise???????? They will have to wait for every last baby boomer to die to sell that horseshit.

There were so many depictons of men being assaulted by violent housewives with frying pans and rolling pins, when I was growing up that I'm suprised somebody hasn't started a museum.

The truth is mainstream feminists can't handle their own violent, battering behavior so they project it onto innocent, peaceful men. These monsters need to take responsibility for their own violent behavior before they go around preaching to others and blaming them for their own abusiveness.
