Misandry (link at upper right)
EO -> 02/26/10 - Classical Values by Eric

Fred:  Three men robbed the bank.
Mike:  Thankfully, eight police personnel caught them.

"The word "misandry" was flagged in red, unknown to the spell-checker, even though it is hardly a new word. Misandry is the hatred of men."

"Men do not exist unless they commit crimes or do bad things. Men are "people" or "personnel" when they do good things. They are "men" when they do bad things.

Many women desire to see themselves as victims, and the government is appealing to them. That's what's behind the hystericism surrounding DV and sexual assault. It arises from a confluence of morbid female psychology and political opportunism. Not that they aren't important concerns, but they've taken on a social and cultural significance that has little to do with their criminological basis.

Judge Green Lights Suit by Duke Lacrosse Players Falsely Prosecuted for Rape - from the WSJ:

The players have asked the court for unspecified damages and for a monitor to be appointed to oversee the Durham police for 10 years, according to Bloomberg.

“The intentional use of false or misleading evidence before a grand jury to obtain an indictment and arrest without probable cause is exactly the type of unreasonable search and seizure that the Fourth Amendment was designed to protect against,” the judge ruled.

In 2006, Nifong conducted almost 100 media interviews in which he said he had “no doubt” the athletes had engaged in a racially motivated rape, according to Bloomberg. But the director of a local DNA lab later admitted he and Nifong agreed to withhold evidence that probably would show that the team members did not commit rape.

What depresses me is that the only reason blatantly lying remains such a common tactic, is that it works, and the only reason it works, is that most people are too stupid not to fall for it.

The sad truth that too many people are victim to domestic violence. There was another case here in NY where a NYPD officer forced off the job for DV incidents killed his wife. Her body was found on her son's 10th birthday. In the paper today was an article about a wife arrested for shooting her husband in an argument. Domestic violence is a very real issue for both men and women. Let's not forget the kids that are the real victims. When the cycle isn't broken many kids grow up thinking abuse is normal and acceptable and go on to become abusers.
While I'd like the Justice Department to report the facts correctly, please let's not take it as an implication that all men are abusers. As a survivor of Domestic Violence, I know there are many good men in this world. Many! And as a survivor I hate nothing more than a false accusation. It allows for doubt in cases where the danger is very real. The danger in my life was very real and I resent anyone who casts a shadow of doubt on that.

As those who have seen my previous comments on here know, I'm a big supporter of President Obama's administration. However, I have to say, I've not been impressed by his Attorney General.

This isn't the first bit of disappointing news from that office. I'd be quite happy if he were replaced.

I would be very surprised if the TRUE statistics regarding abuse by gender isn't more like 50/50.

Some men might hit women, but women hit men too, and women, in my view, are more prone to verbal and emotional abuse of men then the physical.

Also, when was the last time a man was congratulated for smacking a woman? "Yeah man, you don't have to take that, you go boy!" Methinks not.

Notice no mention of child abuse? Thats because despite the media-hype about the evil-male-brute children are more often abused by a female member of the familiy, one of feminist's dirty little secrets..dont belive it? Check the stats for yourself. You're never going to hear it on CNN

heh, good luck with that DV charity... most don't deal with men in any way, and have no resources for them at all...

So, you're going to have to tell us all about the upcoming trip, 'cuz I'd love to catch you in person... what's the lowdown?
