ORIGINAL: naughtynick81 quote:
Truth be told, men are probably far less sympathetic towards male victims of domestic violence than women would be Have you got any proof to back this up? Just my own experience, general observations of life, that sort of thing. My mother was a feminist, and if a woman had hit me, she would be angry at the woman who did it and blame her, whereas my father would probably be angry at me for tolerating it. I'm not saying that I agree with feminists on every issue, but at least when it comes to this issue, the feminists I know do not condone or tolerate violent female offenders. In other words, there might be many valid reasons to criticize feminism, but this just doesn't seem to be one of them. You're as much as saying that reasonable, rational adults in a civilized society condone criminal, violent behavior, and I just don't see that as being the case. quote:
Here in this case, we have a group of women with a mostly female audience laughing about a real life situation of a man's dick getting chopped off and put in the shredder. No sympathetic attitudes here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnXCPcq_RTY I never watch those shows, but keep in mind that this is just stuff on TV. Who cares what they say on TV? But yeah, I get your point. It was rather tasteless, and apparently, whoever posted that YouTube video thought the same. I don't know about this particular case, so I'd have to check into the circumstances of what happened and why. I don't think men would make those kinds of jokes, although I know men who would look down on a man whom a woman has gotten the better of. There's a whole lexicon of pejorative terms men might use to call other men who are considered weak or not real men. Of course, they may not be politically correct or make the daytime TV talk shows, but those attitudes are still out there.
