From Feminist Law Professors: they just can't help trivialzing the very important subject they are commenting on by making sure they find a petty "sexist" thing to kvetch about:
Did Texas execute an innocent man?September 1st, 2009
Read this chilling New Yorker article about Cameron Todd Willingham to understand why this is a very real possibility. I do have to quibble with the description by one expert of a very questionable theory about arson propounded by two male investigators as “old wives’ tale.” Why is it that gratuitously referencing an “old wife” as the source an incorrect belief is supposed to make falling for it seem especially stupid?
It’s still a very powerful story, though.

To friends, family, work colleagues and to the parents of the children she cared for, Vanessa George, who today admitted a catalogue of child abuse offences, seemed a respectable, valuable member of their community.

Please note, in this story.
Woman A does the abuse.
Woman A sends pictures to Man B
Man B sends pictures to Woman C
A, B and C all live many many miles apart in different towns.
Yet Man B is being portrayed as the evil, svengali, puppetmaster.

Feminists always try to change the subject from the very real problems that men face to their own unbelievably petty and insignificant complaints. They're expert whiners.
It is expressions such as "old wives tale" which give the English language much of it's beauty.
I view folk such as Ann Bartow to be little more than vandals.
this lady sounds like the same kind of idiot who came up with 'rule of thumb' as sexist, which has since been debunked (see wikipedia).
Also 'woe'-man was debunked.
