I hate to be too contrary but...
First off, it IS a health/surgery column...
The good things I see about the article are:
1. They identified the MAN as the VICTIM of domestic violence.
2. They didn't make any excuses for the WOMAN who stabbed him. No "he drove her to it" in the article.
3. They did mention that he tried to kill himself. That kind of implies to me that the abuse was ongoing and that he felt that there was no other escape from the relationship.
Now...
1. Why don't they follow up on the woman? Why wasn't she charged with any crime?
2. Perhaps they might want to followup on the options men have in domestic violence situations? (Death, imprisonment(via false DV counterclaims), homelessness)
Overall, it might be a start. But I still wouldn't mind taking a week off just to help mass picket the NYT.
Here's an idea... The MRA vacation...
Saturday: Early arrival, get to know you sessions
Sunday: Tourist-related activities...
Monday: Picket NYT(or substitute)
Tuesday: Tour city.
Wednesday: Picket next anti-male venue
Thursday: More tourism...
Friday: Picket 3rd anti-male venue
Saturday: Goodbye's, leave for airport.

The readership of the NY Times consists mostly of New-York's elite, far-left liberals (i.e. feminist sympathizer). The NY Times is merely telling them what they want to hear, and those people wouldn't change their mind anyway. So let's not waste time on this.

"The readership of the NY Times consists mostly of New-York's elite..."--Rand T.
Interesting point. But they sell papers all over the country. I live in the South and I've gotten numerous offers in the mail to subscribe to the NY Times. I won't subscribe to the NYT because in doing so I would feel like I'm contributing money to a political organization that I don't respect. It seems that if the NYT (a business) wants to expand its readership, it would try to take potential customers' views into consideration. Maybe you're right, though. Maybe the CEO has a political mission that he considers more important than expanding readership, at least until the bottom line changes.
