By Melinda Tankard Reist, published 14/3/2008

One women's magazine paid its respects to women on International Women's Day with a fashion ad of murdered woman.

To be honest Melinda the body in the boot looks more like a store dummy than a live person, beside her leg is too skinny.

Ads are designed to catch your attention and this one certainly caught yours and as a consequence it gets heaps more free advertising.

I don't suppose that you have read any of the following books?

Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture:

Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systemic Discrimination Against Men.

So it is a real shame that your writing skills are not applied equally and also look at the promotion of misandry in todays popular society.

Still no calls for ending the violence against men and women.

Makes one think that feminists want violence against men.

Ginz,
I wouldn't like to call myself any "ist", but do you have an example of an ad for handbags and shoes that is "feminist".

Also, do you have any evidence of feminists wanting to stop violence against men.

All feminist propaganda seems to be directed against stopping any violence against women, but I can't remember any feminist propaganda being directed against stopping violence against men and women.

Next feminists will be saying that they believe in equality.

If you asked, you would find that the majority of feminists are appalled by all the numerous forms of men's violence whether it is perpetrated against women, men, children, or animals.
