	Anonymous User writes "Well the "Violence Against Women - Australia Says No" campaign from last year has resurfaced its ugly head here in Australia again. We are being bombarded with misandrist commericals here that protray men as the ugly perpertartors/rapist/abusers and women as helpless victims at their mercy." Click "Read more..." for more.

	"Here is an article on the campaign. Here (.pdf file) are the complaints about the commerical being dismissed last year. Do you think they'd take the complaints any more seriously this year?"

Then when they throw you out of your own home, deny you contact with your own children, clear out your bank account and use half of it to fund more of the same while giving the other half to the woman you domestically abused by being three inches taller than her, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that at least you didn't do something the government shoulda done. Men really don't help themselves, do they?!

It's all very well sputtering "dumbass" and pretending that to eschew the same tactics used by feminists is to do "nothing" but it is absurd to think that a government that has access to your pockets and mine could possibly by outdone by a volunteer organisation. Sheesh, and take a fucking chill pill.
