'CINCINNATI -- A Cincinnati man has been ordered to apologize to his estranged wife on Facebook after a post he wrote last year.

Court records indicate that Mark Byron was found guilty of civil domestic violence against Elizabeth Byron in June 2011, and Elizabeth Byron was granted a temporary protection order.

The records indicate that Mark Byron posted a comment to his Facebook wall in late November that stated "if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husband's life and take your son's father away from him completely -- all you need to do is say that you're scared of your husband or domestic partner and they'll take him away!"
...
On Jan. 25, magistrate Paul Meyers ruled that Mark Byron violated the protection order and sentenced him to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
...
Meyers ruled that Byron could not shut down his page during those 30 days and had to grant friend status to his wife or someone of her choosing to monitor the page.'

Aren't these two case exactly the same? Yet one is good because it's women bashing men, while the other is criminal because it's a man being a bad guy. Do I have this wrong?

It makes no sense that a woman is allowed to slam her ex online with no repercussion, yet a man simply making a post about how he was screwed by a toxic woman is somehow illegal. It really astounds me how with all this misandric hypocrisy, more people don't take notice of how shitty western society has become for men.

This one says he was exonerated of criminal charges:

"Mark and Elizabeth Byron had a son in July 2010, but their marriage soon became troubled. She accused him of verbally abusing her, threatening her with his fist and threatening to “end” her life.
While Mark Byron, an Over-the-Rhine photographer who has worked freelance assignments for The Enquirer, was exonerated of criminal allegations, a civil protective order was issued instructing him to stay away from his wife."
