Men abusing women in the media are cause for protest and outrage, yet women abusing men are viewed as a source of humor, such as when Blondie chases Dagwood with a rolling pin and leaves him with a black eye.

Women initiate violence as often as men do, but because they will use weapons rather than their own hands more often, actually inflict more harm. More black women murder their spouses than do black men; for whites spousal homicide is gender-balanced. When children are sold for sexual purposes it is overwhelmingly by the mothers rather than the fathers. Most child physical abuse is committed by mothers.

The media bias portraying women as victims and men as brutes not only made militant feminists like Andrea Dworkin (who seriously suggested that women randomly kill men to keep men in a constant state of fear) very rich, but served another purpose, which was to redesign society to function with a female structure and to make men "disposable", and all the more easy to send off to die in wars of conquest yet to come. In hindsight, it is clear to see a link between the male-bashing of the 1990s, and the wars of conquest planned for the 2000s.

Assuming it was you who removed it, thank you for getting rid of the moron's garbage. I would like to file this debacle as 'Dork Lord cannot read, Exhibit A: Politics, Religion, Conspiracies, Rants, Essays, Discussion and Debate. SPAM-FREE ZONE!'. Stay tuned for more exhibits.
 
You have to at least comment on the book. Or somebody does. Its really interesting. It speaks of how way back when men(or boys) had a "rite of passage" into "manhood", and how these "rites" don't seem to exist anymore, and what it does to society as a whole.
I find what the author wrote to be true. Its been so long since I've read that book I should read it again.
I also have thoughts on the whole men vs woman issue and what you said. There were some man bashing jokes being passed around at work and all the woman were laughing about it and I immedietly stopped it and told them it wasn't right. If the tables were turned they would claim harrasment or some such thing. I do not support bashing of either of the sexes in any way shape or form. I can laugh at myself and smile at the idiosyncrasies of our lives but there are some definite sociatal "norms" that could be changed.
 
One of the things that irks me as a society is the accpetance of people not having fathers. I think having a father is important-and too many kids, especially boys are being raised without one, and it is detrimental to our society. I'm not saying kids can't survive with one parent or that mothers or fathers are more important-or that one is more important than the other-but both are important.
Yes a loving home is important-and yes abuse should not be tolerated-but people need to think before they start having babies.
I think violence is an issue as a whole, and not just against men or woman. I mean look at all the female teachers taking advantage of young kids these days.
I don't think any one gender is excluded from the acts of violence-but Messenger does raise a good point.
 
I read that book a while back. It has some spiritual significance which I've forgotten.
