Anti-male sexual violence in the media

Doug Wells writes "Here is a (heavily edited by the newspaper) letter to the editor that I submited to the Idaho State Journal about attacks on the male groin as a source of "humor". It criticises the widespread acceptance of this particular form of sexual sadism (not to mention the hypocrisy (sp?) of women who enjoy this) and its consequences for boys. The bottom line is that best-estimates run around 50,000 school-age boys in the U.S. suffer medically-significant sexual injuries each year due to "acceptance" of this brand of sexual assualt, and the media are partly to blame for putting this "humor" nearly all childrens shows, movies, etc."
