Alas, masculinity has come under siege. All manner of unpleasant things that happen to women are blamed on those linear-thinking, knuckle-dragging males. Even young lads are viewed with suspicion - earlier this month a 4-year-old boy in Waco, Texas was placed on in-school suspension following an unwelcome hug of a teacher's aide.

In January, Kate O'Beirne released her no-holds-barred critique of the Ladies in Lavender, Women Who Make the World Worse. Noting that the "modern women's movement is totalitarian in its methods, radical in its aims, and dishonest in its advocacy," the book intones, "we depend on manly characteristics to keep us safe. Every single one of the dead firemen on 9/11 was a man."

Yep I guess even this 4 year old boy needs to examine his own attitudes.

I think some quotes from George Orwell;

Orwell states, "Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer— except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs."

The 7 Commandments are abridged for the last time, simply reading, "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."

JamesH, glad to see you still posting.

The Internet men's rights "group" (more a collection of around 1,000 or so men) I am involved with is currently having a bit of a recruitment drive, so if you or any other guys on here are interested in having a look, we are trying to get people to have a look at:

and:

http://dontgetmarried.proboards75.com/

Which is an interim public forum that we are using for new people to join in the discussion.

This page, which is an aggregate of pertinent men's rights articles from around the web on the domestic violence issue may also be of interest:

"I have witnessed liberal totalitarianism on many fronts as both a lawyer and a judge, but it is fair to say that I probably would not have written this book if I had not had my own, very direct run-in with the tyrants of tolerance. That unpleasant personal experience forced me to do some serious thinking about what is happening to American law, how it is happening, and who is making it happen. And finally it convinced me to write this book, and to accept whatever consequences came from publishing it.

That run-in occurred when I dared confront one of the most active elements of liberalism: the radical feminists.

“Manifesting Bias”

If Social Security is the “third rail” of American (Australian) politics, then sex is the third rail of American law. Anyone who touches it, except in the manner approved by the tyrants of tolerance, is fried. In this realm, the tyranny of tolerance is best described as rule by the radical feminist cadre of liberalism. Like the rest of the illiberal liberals, femifascists display single-minded devotion to imposing their tyranny on the American people—and will viciously punish those who resist."

How Do People React When There's Abuse in Public, But the Gender Roles are Reversed? How Would You React?

http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=2741047&page=4

Spotted another add this morning depicting violence against a male by a women. The violence itself was small but it's hard to imagine any advertiser turning the genders around (might have to change the other key fact as well).

Very pregnant woman standing next to a man sitting on a bus. She prods the man with her belly, he looks up from her reading then looks down again. She takes out an inflatable toy (no not that kind) and starts belting him around the head with it. He flees the attack and she gets the seat. The point, people who give up their seats all work for the bank paying for the add.

All able bodied people should give up their seats to obviously pregnant women, the elderly and the disabled. That applies to women, men and children. That is a matter or courtesy and in some cases the rules of the transport provider.

It is never acceptable for someone who thinks they should have a seat (or other courtesy) to initiate violence against another person to get it (even with an inflatable toy).

Nor is it only men who should give up their seats for the less able and all to often public comment on this issue seems to only be about men needing to give up their seats.

In my view this kind of advertising just perpetuates the idea that it is OK for women to assault men other than in self defense.

I saw the ad that you are referring too.

My general feeling is that this type of ad should not be allowed. It uses humor to disguise violence and even though the hammer was a plastic inflatable one.

I saw the add again. The bank was The Commonwealth Bank.

I also noticed that sitting behind the guy was a woman who did not give up her either (maybe she was pregnant).

Soft selling violence.
