It's funny how anytime a women commits a crime, motives are always examined in the press, and often justified in the process. When a man commits a crime, well it's because men are just plain "evil" there is no justification...
ONE YEAR? How can any civilized rational human being think that women are oppressed in this country when men are locked up for simply arguing with their spouse all the time.
feminism is sexist hate

I agree that a one year sentence is reprehensible, but making broad generalizations isn't going to help anyone. Yes, agressive behavior is more expected of men than of women, and that's absolutely unfair- I understand and share in your frustration- but I don't believe I've ever heard the "men are evil" argument.
In certain ways men face oppression by society, and in certain ways women are oppressed. That's fact.
And defining all feminism as "sexist hate" is probably the most counterproductive thing you could say in the search for gender equality. Feminism can sometimes provide ammunition for hating sexists, but there's a huge difference between being feminist and being anti-male.

..., rather instead, water down any rhetoric, and temper any anger you feel, so it is lukewarm and wishy washy, otherwise the status quo will be disrupted, and that's benefitting me right now.
Just finishing your thought.

Oh, really? How about here http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,2230760a6003,0 %200.html

There's a Homer Simpson Moment...

Really? Name one. Name one way in Law that a woman recieves unfair treatment to the benefit of the man. The tired old thing about my advantage as a male to be ordered into combat to die isn't one of them - I'll gladly trade, at least for my son. Let's hear it.

If I am a racist, I would not merely be "Pro-race" I'd be "Anti-anyone else's"
Racism is an -ISM. Feminism is an -ISM.
A Racist is an -IST. A Feminist is an -IST.
It's not any different.

I didn't think so.

well your argument is weak:
Week after week and year after year there are so many postings here that clearly outline a sexist feminist agenda and its effects in education, law and family, incarceration rates, harshness of sentences, bogus definitions of abuse, wage garnishment, NO reproductive rights for men, poor media policy depicting men... feminist even block every effort in creating a male counterpart for a federally funded commission on men's health like that that exists for women...
Women's oppression at best is mostly just "percieved," men's oppression is real. Go check out any family court sometime, check out how federal money (VAWA) states how domestic issues should get handled. VAWA even goes as far as placing a % value for cops not to go over in arresting women who are violent (5%) of all arrests...
feminism is sexist hate!

I know a man who is awaiting trial in Oregon accused of causing a scalp laceration and bruising on a woman. He is facing seven years for this charge, and has a $400,000 bail, under measure eleven. Circumstances are that both were under the influence, and the woman at least has a long history with the system of accusing men of battery. What ever happened to the Constitution?

I see in todays paper a local story about a 34 year old woman who pleaded guilty to having a sexual relationship with a 14 year old boy (statutory rape of a minor). She received a suspended two-year prison sentence and was released on probation. According to the DA she got the maximum sentence under the statutory rape statute.
I wonder if the outcome would have been the same if the genders had been reversed. I doubt a 34 year old man would have been released on probation after having sex with a 14 year old girl.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. A lenient sentence like that wouldn't stand if the roles were reversed.
