Hypocritical Protests on T-Shirt Designs

	D. E. Unrau writes "This article "has a T-shirt that plays on the issue of domestic violence is generating plenty of controversy as well as getting attention from the Ontario government. The shirt is sold at a St. Catharines clothing store and features a hammer dripping with blood above a statement that reads, "she was asking for it.''" What the article doesn't say, and what wasn't protested it all, is that the store also sells a shirt that has a pair of bloody scissors that says "he was asking for it.""

The first thing I noticed was that there was no outrage from any party over the woman's T-shirt. Dalton McGuinty (a.k.a. Liar McFly) is outraged over the T-shirts which he thinks promote violence against woman. He makes no mention whatsoever of the other shirts which promote and justify violence by women against men. Nice. I'm stuck living in this province and country which is, to say the least, a matriarchical dictatorship. Female chauvinists have been running things here in Canada for at least 100 years. I wonder if I can convince George W. to invade Canada and liberate us from the tyranny and oppresion that is rampant here?

Just leave out the part about wanting to be invaded. ;-) bg Men are from EARTH. Women are from EARTH. Deal with it.

Both T-shirts are in bad taste and I.M.O., frankly WRONG. But notice the anti-male T-shirt is promoteing the same tired line of male genital mutilation that has become so acceptable in western culture. But again both T-shirt designes are wrong and need to be scrapped. This reminds me of what I feel the typical feminists view is on "violence against women". They call it "violence against women" when a man is cut down by automatic rifel fire and his blood spatters a woman standing near by. That, could be said, is their definition of "violence against women".   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!"

Things are MUCH MUCH worse in TX. TX has 16 times more men in prison per 100,000 males then CAN.

Already a lost cause (Score:1) by MAUS on 06:52 AM September 26th, 2004 EST (#4) (User #1582 Info) It is open season on men in Canada. Go right ahead...blow his head off with a shotgun when he is passed out, hack off his genitals while he is asleep, bash his skull in with a shovel if he leaves the toilet seat up. Not only will you walk, you will be congratulated for doing so. If a woman is out in the woods picking blackberries and gets mauled by a rogue bear she has my sympathy. If she gets mauled while baiting a chain tethered bear...no sympathy.
