UK: BBC3's anti-male coverage shows that men's issues are still not taken seriously

Article here. Excerpt:

'On Monday, BBC3, the corporation’s channel dedicated to teenagers and young adults, aired the latest documentary in its gender season, The Rise of Female Violence, in which presenter Alys Harte explored everything from alcohol-fuelled female street violence to knife attacks by girl gangs and female-perpetrated domestic abuse.

At the heart of the show were two questions: ‘Does society treat female-on-male violence less seriously than when the genders are reversed? And if so, why?’ A very good place to find the answers to both of these questions is in the one-sided gender narrative typified by BBC3 itself.
...
The most-recent in this parade of male murderers and abusers aired just a week before Monday’s female violence documentary, entitled Britain’s Biggest Sexists. An hour-long roll call of shame, it asked four comedians - three women and “a token man”, as the female presenter quipped at the start – to scrutinize everything from Lad Culture and pick up artists to discrimination against women in The City and sexist chants on football terraces. For the shows denouement, the comedians were asked to judge who they considered to be “Britain’s Biggest Sexist”.'
