Here's a fun challenge. Try to find ten movies in which violence against men isn't depicted in one form or another. You will probably have a lot harder time than you expect. Even children's movies and day time television are riddled with senseless violence towards men(even sexual assault/genital abuse), which is often just depicted as comedy. Even the emmy's last night, where it had really no reason to go there, opened with a "comedy" sketch where a man is repeatedly beaten and humiliated by multiple women who think nothing of it. It is so deeply rooted within human culture and media.

I think this article was very well written from the perspective of someone who is not aware of men's rights issues. He mirrors the public impression when people hear "Men's Rights". He then slowly illuminates the reader to the legitimacy and then brings in his own anecdotal evidence regarding the book title at the end evidencing that men's rights issues expand beyond domestic abuse which is what the main article is about.

This happens so much in relationships it's ridiculous. I don't want either gender hitting the other except in self-defense, but it appears a large number of modern females missed the memo.

Every relationship I've been in, the girl have resorted to hitting the moment things don't go her way, or in cases where I evidently "deserved" it. Perhaps because we are guys (and thus are supposed to be bigger and stronger) we are just supposed to "take it."

I've seen it before on this sub, as well as elsewhere (long time lurker) that "if she'll hit me, she'll probably hit the kids." Any woman who hits gets dumped on the spot, I don't care if her whole family is watching.

“The Violence Against Women Act is the hub of the women industry. It’s the hub. If you get rid of the notion that men are bad and women are good, that men beat women and women don’t beat men … everything falls apart. The lies just leave like bats coming out of a cage.”

This is just an awesome ass quote by Crouch and so dam true.

Interesting article, although parts of it rubbed me the wrong way. The whole Q&A section was worded like it was an interrogation transcript. Even though this is precisely how the conversation goes, normally journalists word the answers in a more natural way over the course of the piece. Here, the journalist came off as confrontational and incredulous. He also frequently threw in his own opinions on the matter, which felt a little amateurish.

There’s misogyny and there’s misandry.”

“I don’t know that second word,” I say.

Such ignorance! Cant the Union-Tribune afford educated writers?

+5 for correct use of single quotes.

I cannot think of a better example of a real life hero than Crouch.

Pampered feminists in cushy tax payer funded offices should take note. In the end, all the money and power that feminists anjoy will crumble before the determination and resolve of fair minded people who want nothing more than (1) equal protection of the law for all and (2) equal protection of government for all.

"Crouch is sitting in his headquarters office suite..."

Does anyone else find this unintentionally hilarious?

Adrewmc · 2012-09-24T22:40:33+00:00

Shit my hand went up. Never really thought about it but several women have hit me usually for nothing or they didn't get the sarcasm but for real I took it and really never thought about it, I mean its not like I feared for my safety before or after. Shit one time I told immediately " damn it took you three years to do that" obviously we never got along lol

The_Sign_Painter · 2012-09-24T17:29:53+00:00

misandrous (to use Crouch’s word)

It's not his word, dumbass. Some journalist you are.

I like being a gentleman. I think men in general have lost their way due to the fact that we've culturally obliterated any role models we had, including our own fathers.

Powderedxbook · 2012-09-24T16:38:26+00:00

I now wonder; is abuse still abuse if it is not recognized as such?

whamm000 · 2013-01-27T23:08:42+00:00

What kind of pathetic excuse for a journalist doesn't know the word "misandry?"

truthman2000 · 2012-09-24T17:57:44+00:00

Yet another indication that women are more abusive than men.

Now that women have the lion's share of the power in the home, they abuse it as men never did.
