41: Misandry - Women Focus

Looks into the media presentation of women's issues and its focus on women themselves, compared with an absence of news about men except where they are criminals. Also looks at legislation from governments around the world that explicitly discriminate against men.

• Misandry in news reporting and by charities during the Tsunami in 2004
• Housework and the law
• Is a woman's life worth more than a mans?
• What has society been primed to believe about men?

men havent got time to argue all these petty insults because men are doing nearly ALL THE WORK. Women simply spend most of the money. then when they spend it all or get bored they demand a divorce keep the kids the house, throw out your possessions and ring the police who are instiutionally sexist against men too. men build everything, men create and invent everything. you wil never even find a woman who will fix a tap, mow a garden lawn, install a phone line, fix your electricity. NOTHING

@tosgem Oh, the terrible woes of the creatures most foul! The tears, the cries, the selfishness! Oh, the terrible woes of a woman. Let us bow down and kiss their feet, apologizing for a non-existent oppression.

@vforvoracious If what I said did not hold true then the marriage stats would not support it.

Ignoring the big elephant in the room is not going to make it go away.

@ManSpeakOut Please also remember, this is the media that is portraying this. Which gender is behind the majority of executive decisions behind any channel or marketing in the media? I think the answer is clear, once you do a bit of research.

[vforvoracious]

@ManSpeakOut See, once again, I think you're generalizing here. I personally could care less, if I'm able to financially support myself. True, the higher up, the more resources are disposable- in this case, your selection of partners- which increases probability of cheating. But then again, what is the point of marrying when you're going to cheat anyway? I also don't believe in marriage, which might be why.

@vforvoracious You give a woman a choice between a janitor or an engineer who do you think she would go for? (Answering honestly would help.)

[ManSpeakOut]

@vforvoracious Everybody knows that the that women tend to be hypergamous and seeking men of equal or higher social and economic status.

Marriage stats reflect this, cause the higher up the ladder a man gets the more likely he will be married, and less the farther down the ladder he is.

For women, going higher and higher up the ladder decreases these chances because the hypergamy is still there but now she is only looking for the richest of the richest men.

@ManSpeakOut Interesting. But, whoever started these stereotypes has the power to destroy them instead of perpetrating them. Just like race.

I think it's because of your claim of men seeking to be successful, it's why men are intimidated by confident and successful women (this is from what I've seen, but then again, it's generalizing). I don't value a man based on his money and power, but on his confidence. Just stop the bashing, please. No one is perfect, regardless of gender.

I get all my news on the internet, in part, because the lame stream media is a lot of unreliable agitprop and because it is driven by conflict, culture wars, fashionable ideas, and pop ideology.. The media biases addressed above are very real but never talked about on television. You get it here, only on the internet. (And some books, of course.)

@framboise595 Also woman magazines are also hateful to other woman, with bad bodies.

@blacktigerpaw1 Islamic societies used to be far more advanced that western ones. All civilizations decline and fall though.
