Now that feminists are getting over the shock of Abu Ghraib, they need to start getting used to all the other abusiveness and criminal activity that females engage in like domestic violence, paternity fraud, false accusations of rape, child abuse, d.v., sexual harassment, etc. (and it's not because of the patriarchy).

Here's another shocker for the feminists, "WOMEN'S STUDIES CURRICULUM IS LOADED WITH MAN-HATING LIES!"

Good cartoon, I hope the word keeps on getting out.

Yea riiiight! There is an epidemic of males suffering false arrests for false accusations of domestic violence, rape, child abuse, paternity fraud, and more. We have more falsely accused males doing prison time than any other Nation. Yes. That is more falsely imprisioned men than India, Africa, or China!

Yet all these do-gooders can whine about is us exposing the men’s' issues and wanting equal justice for males.

Whaaaaa! Get a life looser.

Quit worrying about the losers in Africa, Arabia, and India who are too stupid to solve their own problems.

Hell. If we really try then I'll bet we can double the population of male prisoners by 2006! And if we really, really, really tried hard then I'll bet we could have %80 of them put in jail as falsely accused victims.

If we try even harder, using the 4.5 billion set aside for women from the VAWA, I'll bet we could even have all of the police doing house to house searches of EVERY MALE to determine if they can be falsely accused of ... well ... something! Then we could get the arrest rates even higher!

Naturally, the feminists would celebrate such a victory. We are well on our way to them succeeding at such a strategy.

I noticed you dismissed any men who are treated badly out of hand.

Allow me to shatter your argument.

American women have more rights, more luxuries, and more power than any women on Earth. But, does that mean that when women here are wronged that we should ignore it because of someone somewhere suffering? I don't think you would be so callous were you to see a woman suffering, and a man telling her to "suck it up" because someone in India had it worse.

Second, using YOUR logic, since more people of color are victims of crime than whites, should we then ignore whites who are raped, beaten, batttered, or discriminated against?

Your post refelcts on your indoctrination, and does so poorly.

Learn how to think critically before posting stuff that is so easily debunked.

Unfortunately I see this kind of distraction and change of subject used successfully on a regular basis, often on media people who know better but don’t want to risk their jobs by insisting on integrity.

The underlying, and mostly unchallenged, message from feminists is “We must ignore all problems that men have until every woman on earth lives in a feminist utopia” (followed by a self-righteous claim to believe in equality - for women).

First, mensactivism.org may give a general idea on the focus of the site.

Second, the suffering of women in other cultures is often very subjective. Things such as wearing a Burka may or may not consitute suffering depending on your personal views. A idea of moral absolutism does not apply, people only suffer when they feel they suffer. I have n doupt that someone whom is feed constantly suffers more from two days without food than someone whom regularly goes without food for two days. This isn't a matter of treatment but of pain and misery.

Most people have good reason to be pissed at women, or people that slight men. There are many example of good reason, and I will merely point you to many of the news topics presented on this site.

I personaly never signed some contract saying it is my job to protect women, nor even my fellow person. This is not to say I won't, but to say I have a DUTY to protect someone else, especially if they do not take measure to protect themselves is absurded. It may be a good thing to do, but there are many good things that are not, and should not be forced upon people.

As far as controling you, what makes you think that. Our actions are our own, I may try and influence you, but that is no crime, nor sin, nor fault. We always try and influence others to behave as we wish, you try with your post. It based of the opinions of the people of this site will almost certainly fail. The people whom often choose to post have fairly set beliefs, not to say they are note open minded, but on some issues such as this, I would say it is a lost cause for you.

Hmmmm, "I was just saying there are more women suffering in the world then men. We need to pay attention to those women."

Let's review feminist philosophy as practiced: 1. Men are evil. 2. Men do not matter. 3. The rights and priviledges of women need to be expanded. 4. The responsibilities of men need to be expanded. 5. The rights of men need to be curtailed.

Your post touches on principles #2 and #4.

"Besides it's you men's JOB to protect women, not abuse us. which is what most of you do, any way, because all you want to do is controll us."

Wrong on all counts. It is your responsibility to protect yourself. If a random man decides that you're worth protecting, consider yourself lucky. Personally, you're not going to get any extra protection from me than the average man would. Chivalry is dead and many of us realize it.

And how much of his money she's "entitled" to? And how easy it really is to ignore his "visitation rights"? Haven't you ever gone to a night club and found out how easy it is to get a guy to pay for your dinner and your drinks?

An acquaintence recently went to the hospital with his wife, who was expecting their first child, for an amnioscentesis (she's 37, and her pregnancy has been declared high-risk). At some point the doctor giving the test asked the mom if she wanted to know the sex of the baby. At some point he spoke up, and was advised in NO uncertain terms that he had no business even expressing an opinion on this, and it seems that this is the policy of the hospital. So when it comes to reproduction, women have ALL the power.

Recently I wanted to change the beneficiary on my company-paid life insurance policy. I was required to get a form signed by my wife showing her consent to this. And all I was doing was changing the beneficiary to my children!

I hardly know where to start, so I'll just leave it at a request and a statment.

First, give me ONE example, outside of obvious upper-body strength, where a man has more power than a woman in our society. Something true and demonstrable, not some women's studies twaddle.

Secondly, prejudice is the practice of 'pre-judging' someone based upon some characteristic they have.

Pre-judging on the basis of race is racism. Pre-judging on the basis of sex is sexism. People who do these things are bigots.

You have shown contempt for the valid and legitimate grievances that men have in our society, and the grave injustices and suffering they endure, both at the hands of women and under 'women-first' legal and social policies that treat men as slave-labour, disposable, and sub-human.

By your own statements, you are a sexist bigot.

The definitions of "sexist" are "one who demonstrates prejudice or discrimination based on sex or gender" and "one who fosters stereotypes of social roles based on sex or gender".
