We re-run below a sort-of-whimsical piece that's really about language. Long-time readers of this blog know that we think the world is too complex, too nuanced, to be reduced to sound bite-sized mantras, yet women have been elevated to the status of perpetual victims in virtually every sphere of their existence because we've allowed a small group of zealots to characterize them that way. They've commandeered victory in the "Oppression Olympics" with pithy platitudes. These efforts have largely gone unchallenged. The post below is one challenge, using their own methods of sound bite-sized mantras.

ABC News is bias and promotes a feminist agenda.
hxxp://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Blotter/senate-hearing-police-departments-underestimating-rape-cases/story?id=11632702
abc sucks.
That is one of the biggest problems if not THE biggest problem.....
The news media is SEVERELY bias against
Men.
And this mentality is then accepted by thier viewers.
Look at cnn. After putting three innocent Duke Lacrosse players through hell showing their names and faces constantly for a year they refused to even NAME their accuser when it was found out to be a total lie.
Here is my suggestion. STOP viewing these networks.
I refuse to watch cnn or abc. And I go a step further. I use a program available for firefox for free called leechblock that lets you block any website you want. So I block all of these male hating sites so I never view them from my computer...even by accident.
My attitude is there is NO WAY I will support these networks since they are doing everything they can to make things even more unfair for Men.
ABC News lies. So does CBS.
"It's all in your head"
This quote is from a young, idealistic feminist woman I recently chatted with.
False Rape is real dear. Just because it's not in YOUR head doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
You don't even have to be a liberal arts college student anymore to be lied to.
All you have to do is sit down, relax and watch the ABC Evening News. Then get up and puke.
Why didn't ABC News interview law enforcement officials regarding the reported drop in rapes over the years?
Because they're in bed with women's groups, that's why!
That is not truth reporting! I smell the stench of feminism and bias journalism.
Boycott ABC News!
OK, I buy that, but why?
Like the little boy who saw a naked emperor, I ask : why?
What's their agenda, what's their angle?
Why is everyone going along with it?
Because they are.
I saw a "Tea Party" Republican upset victory was to be had in Delaware. The victor a happy, smiling woman, surrounded by happy smiling women.
Not one male in the photograph, not one male in sight.
Not a single one.
Are men voting or not? If not, why not?
Gender feminism does not attack all men equally, in fact it only targets the heterosexuals.
"Are men voting or not? If not, why not?"
They are being denied the vote.
It's very simple.
The state creates new crimes.
Then, it arrests everyone who was doing the formerly legal activity.
Then, all the women are allowed to go free.
Then, all the men are charged.
As criminals, they are no longer entitled to vote.
Repeat from beginning
It is male disenfranchisement through the back door.
Did you know one in thirty-seven Americans has been in prison?
And that almost all of those are male?
And that the US, apparent shining beacon of progress and liberty, has by far the highest incarceration rate in the world?
And that all this has been achieved by the bipartisan consensus of progressivism/feminism and get-tough white knight conservatism?
And that really that's not a bipartisan consensus at all because they're the same fucking thing?
This is and always has been intentional, and it is male disenfranchisement.
If you want to see another fantastic example of how abc feels about Men watch this video.
It's a video about prostitution that abc did a 2 hour show on.
Regardless of how you feel about prostitution abc's take on it is really vile.
First off they ignore all MALE prostitutes which make up at least 25% of all prostitutes. Second they recommend putting Men who solicit prostitutes in prison while the female selling the sex is perfectly legal.
This is pure hatred of Men.
How do you think people come up with these feelings of hate for Men?
It's because of news organizations like this making Men out to be criminals and ignoring nearly any crime committed by females.
If you do view their websites make sure you express your disgust or do not even view their content at all.
If enough guys did this it would make a difference.

As always I love your comments.
The U.S is supposed to be the "land of the free"
And you are right we have the highest incarceration rate....far and away.. in the world and 93-94% of it is MALE and well over 99% of all people executed in this country are Male.
And a big reason for this if not the biggest reason is the propaganda that is put out on tv and in newspapers daily.
"It's all in your head"

You say "Your privilege blinds you. That's why you don't see it. Check your privilege."
You just have to learn to talk to them. Cesar Milan will tell you as much.
I must ask. Are the major TV networks (CBS, ABC, NBC and their affiliates) all involved in a conspiracy to usurp men? Or could it be that the FRS minimizes and denies rape, and blames everyone else for its inability to get the point across?
If the answer is "yes", why not come up with an approach that works for you?
Gender feminisms main goal is to keep attacking and dividing the heterosexual male working class.

Isn't it sad the simple truth isn't a good enough approach?
Let's see...what "approach" can men come up with?
hmmmm. The Lying out your ass approach is already taken.
Hardly anything works better than that.
5 million unborn babie's lives have been snuffed because of a false rape claim. Just ask Norma Jean McCorvey.
Talk about minimizing false rape claims, that one's a doozie!
See how stating truth is the wrong approach?
Let's see if our oh so concerned chider can help us make up a man sized whopper to beat that one!
"I must ask. Are the major TV networks (CBS, ABC, NBC and their affiliates) all involved in a conspiracy to usurp men? Or could it be that the FRS minimizes and denies rape, and blames everyone else for its inability to get the point across?"
You, of course, know nothing about this blog because you assume that because we have the audacity speak for a class of victims that people like you deny exists, we MUST "deny rape." Your comment oozes with misandry, and your trivialization of the victimization of countless innocent people is morally grotesque. But thanks for writing.

Media misandry is much broader than the issue of rape alone. But on that issue alone allow me to point to the flip side.
When men or even boys(quarter of the victims of child sexual abuse are boys abused by women) are raped by women the media will treat the rapist as though she is the victim and frequently pillory the actual victim.
You are clearly a feminist and as such, where the issue of rape is concerned, you have blood on your hands. Feminism has marginalised male victims and victims of female abusers into the wilderness. Male victims contact rape crisis or counselling services only to be laughed at or called liars. Many of them don't make it. They suicide, overdose or die of disease or even starvation.
Yes, Ms Feminist, blood on your hands.

FUCK YOU!

Make that 50 million.
"They [commit] suicide, overdose or die of disease or even starvation."
Stop whining and do some homework, and you'll see that women (girls) face these dilemmas all the time.
Let me know if you want proof (links) to suicide or disease. Starvation? That's ridiculous.
Suicides are overwhelmingly male.
In the united states it's about a 5 to 1 ratio of male vs female suicides.
But they never report that on the news.
Far more females "attempt" suicide than males.
Far more males actually complete the act.
In other words, "attempting" is nothing but good drama.
Like claiming to be pregnant when you aren't.
Or claiming you were raped when you weren't.
"Attempting" is part and parcel of the same big lie.
But then we all know women don't lie about rape. They don't lie about pregnancy, or paternity. They don't pretend to have been kidnapped when they are really in Orlando with a new boyfriend. They REALLY REALLY mean it when they attempt suicide...it's just so HARD!
I'm a woman myself. You know I wouldn't lie about something like that.
Actually, I kinda agree with the feminist.
Women don't lie about rape.
Also, men don't rape.
CRIMINALS do both of those two things.

"Stop whining and do some homework, and you'll see that women (girls) face these dilemmas all the time."
Dear God, what about teh wimmin? Guys we forgot all about teh wimmin!
Gwallan,
Her reading comprehension obviously isn't that good:
Media misandry is much broader than the issue of rape alone. But on that issue alone allow me to point to the flip side.
Gee, looks like acknowledgement of what was stated, and then you pointed out it happens to men, but with regard to rape, men are ignored.
but, of course, as Snark pointed out, rape is all about teh wimmin (love that).

Oh, damn! I forgot. Anorexia is a womens issue too.
Yes, female victims have the same problems. Something they rarely encounter is support services telling them "fuck off". Yet this, and mockery, and accusations of dishonesty are frequent experiences for men and boys reaching out for help as victims. Do you think this abuse does not further traumatise victims?
Women and girls can get help. Our governments, and others, spend billions of dollars to ensure that counselling and crisis services are there for those women and girls who need them. Those same services abuse any male who comes to them seeking help. By mocking those victims, by accusing them of lying about their experiences, those services contribute to the harm those victims experience as a consequence of their abuse. They may as well be participant abusers.
Did you for one second consider the possible sources of my knowledge base? When you ordered me to "stop whining" had it occurred to you that I may actually have been one of the victims I wrote of? For the record I have spent the past decade involved in work and advocacy for rape victims of both genders. I've seen ALL of those things happen close up! I do not need your instruction. Indeed you reach great heights of arrogance when you assume the right to lecture a victim about the attitudes they encounter and the impact upon them.
Steven is right to question your comprehension. My reference to suicide and other ills was designed to point to the potential harm inflicted on the victims I wrote of. Of them and their shoddy treatment at the hands of supposedly supportive services you have no comment. You certainly didn't have a single word of criticism for the institutions' behaviour but, rather, directed criticism toward the messenger, himself a child rape victim. Indeed you engaged in the same kind of mockery to which I was drawing attention. Ultimately THAT is the "proof" you are providing.
I would label you Lady MacBeth but I suspect you would have difficulty locating a conscience.

If I had a dollar for every time I've had that response to mentions of male suicide.
Come to think of it it's got to the point where it's almost a slogan.
I wonder if the "attempt" in that frequent misdirection actually includes those attempts which were successful?
Men and boys do suicide for real because they know a "call for help" is unlikely to be heeded. They know because they exist in communities in which a woman's tears are a call to arms for all and sundry whilst a man's tears make him a sook and a loser.
Oh dear. I may have multiple posts. If mods could edit???
Guys all you have said is true about men bearing all the burdens and being systematically discriminated against.
BUT top of the list it shud say "WIMMIN HAVE HARD LIFES TOO!!!!!"
