The article cited is likely heavily biased with chauvinist male influence. First of all, it's from mensnewsdaily.com, so there's our first clue. Second of all:
quote:
Ann Coulter’s latest book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism devotes an entire chapter to our national epidemic of “Sobbing, Hysterical Women.”
Anyone who mentions Ann Coulter in any kind of positive light and in support of their own arguments is obviously off their rocker. Ann Coulter wants, among other things, to take away the right to vote from women and return this country to a patriarchal society. [sarcasm] She's not biased at all. [/sarcasm] Don't get me wrong, I'm a proud Republican, but that woman's crazy.
And let's take a look at those domestic abuse stats. First of all, I seriously doubt they're correct. Second of all, even if they are correct, the abuse taking place from a woman to a man is likely nowhere near as severe as that from a man to a woman (though I am sure that in a handful of cases it is). Third, even if it is, in the overwhelming majority of cases the man could probably overpower the woman if he would get over the ridiculous idea that BOYS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HIT GIRLS EVER, whereas a female victim of domestic abuse likely cannot overpower her male counterpart. And let's face it. The men who run Bosnia haven't exactly done a stellar job. If women were in charge, they might not do better, but they surely couldn't manage to do worse.
And you know what? Even if there are an overwhelming number of men being abused by women, and the abuse laid on them is just as severe as typical male-on-female domestic violence, and even if they have no chance of possibly physically overcoming their wives, that wouldn't change the fact that really awful male-on-female domestic abuse still happens. Of course women are going to be opposed to that! If your family has a history of lung cancer, are you going to give money to a charitable organization for finding solutions to lung cancer or are you going to give the money to finding a cure for AIDS? You'd probably go with the lung cancer, of course. People tend to be most opposed to the ills of society that are more likely to hurt them, regardless of whether or not that ill is actually the most important or severe. I know that abuse is still abuse no matter what, but you can't go around getting pissed at people for being opposed to the kind of abuse that affects their particular group.
There are a lot of other things mentioned in that (heavily biased) article that these women do that are simply insane. But anybody with a whit of sense knows these women don't represent the majority of feminists.
The OP needs to get off his soapbox and take his hatred of women somewhere else.
