10. Men in Jerusalem beat a woman for not sitting in the back of the bus. People blamed her for not “knowing her place”.
9. In the US, a man rapes a woman every 6 minutes, and it is still so taboo to talk about who does all the raping that this ongoing crime against women by men is euphemistically referred to by saying “a woman is raped every 6 minutes”. By what? The sun? The moon? Marshmallows? No – by men. But people are so afraid of men they don’t even want to say that, even though men are over 99% of all rapists.
8. Man tries to electrocute his wife because she wanted a divorce. Gee, I can’t imagine why she would have wanted to leave such an awesome dude.
7. Man goes around murdering members of the class of women forced into sexual slavery to men to earn a living (prostitutes); male police response? To tell them (and other women) not to go outside, because men expect women to live under house arrest for the “crime” of being female.
6. 800,000 humans are sold into sexual slavery every year. Despite the neutral tone of the article which says the sex slaves are “women, children and men” the vast majority are women and female children, and virtually all of the slave owners are men. The quibbling point of this article? To try to get people to stop using the shiny happy “sex positive” propaganda term “sex worker” to describe these KIDNAPPED SLAVES.
3. Armed man in Phoenix is serially raping little girls in who live in low income housing.
2. In India, virulent misogyny and the knowledge that a daughter will have no future have led to widespread female infanticide and sex selective abortions performed to prevent female fetuses from being born, at the rate of SEVEN THOUSAND PER DAY.
1. While women’s educational and professional credentials continue to climb, the wage gap between men and women remains firmly in place. Men own the companies and sign the checks, and they sure aren’t going to pay a woman fairly for her labor.

Many of the examples you give here specific people? What about speaking more globally? What about the practice of female circumcision/mutilation? How about something that is systemically horrid rather than one example?
How about speaking on some country’s laws or even societal expectations regarding marriage, virginity, dowries, and how some men can kill their female relatives with impunity because of perceived family honor being breeched.
There are so many cases that outrage anyone with a sense of justice that it extends way beyond gender.
Once again, just a thought.

Thanks, misandrist.
The depth of the hatred that the human male of this planet bears, and expresses, towards the Female (in all her aspects) continues to astound me.

I have a question about blogs like this.
What do we do with this information?
Is this just to apply labels to identify the problem or do we now take steps to remedy these situations?
Do we identify a specific problem, increase public awareness, work towards effective enforcement/pass more effective legislation, and achieve some kind of solution?
Do we apply segregate, apply labels, express anger, and continue to vilify all that is male?
Honestly, where do we go from here?

Thank you..please keep up the site. We NEED to know what the patriarchal system is doing. We NEED to keep it honest.
I hate men (as a group, however I do judge individuals on a one to one basis). And I don’t care who knows it anymore.
Bravo

Yes, these people don’t do these things because of they have some sort of mental/social issues, they do it because they’re men.
Becuase we all know that women never do anything bad like, kill people or abuse children.
And if they do it’s a man’s fault in some way.
Here’s a statistic for you the sucide rate in men is almost twice that of women. I wonder why?

I think it’s curious that you think it’s ok to blame an entire group based on the actions of specific members of that group. Do you do the same with any minority groups? If not, why not?
For example, the story of the man who tried to kill his wife when she said she wanted a divorce. Do you honestly believe women have never tried to kill their husband under similar circumstances?
And yes, people are afraid of men, that’s why they are depicted as idiots in tv programs and comercials. They must be really scared of men.
And your “man tries to kill girlfriend’s child” story, there are stories all the time about women (and teen girls) dumping their babies in dumpsters (often without the knowledge of the father of the baby).
The truth is PEOPLE do evil things. People of both genders. You scapegoat men because it helps you to feel good as victims and gives you someone to blame if something doesn’t work out how you want. Didn’t get the job? Sexism. Can’t pay the bills? Sexism
You’re bigots, and bigotry of any kind makes me sick.

i know that you people are frustrated with the male population in te world but seriously, many of the men in the world are decent and would never beat,rape,or torture a women. im very sorry you feel that way to many men are wicked these days. a commen thing for a dieing soilder on a battle field says “tell my wife i love her.” i say this because once i get out of high school im going into the airforce and i wold die for my wife and kids. next time you see a man look for the good inside the population not the bad

Fact: MEN create and carry out wars, genocide, GLOBAL corruption, misinformation, murder for hire, slavey of all kinds, are the major majority of pedophiles rapists and serial killers, promote and develop bio-warfare and generally keep each other busy stroking their egos; not to mention each other’s genitalia.
The numbers of women involved in such behaviors are miniscule. Why? because women KNOW that men have no compunction whatsoever in wiping out ANYONE who will not adhere to what men want in this world.
Women submit to all of the above because they KNOW men have no conscious when it comes to making the world the way they THINK they want it.
When will this change? First, when women learn that its a good thing to be a warrior (learn to fight and kill if need be), when women start raising their sons to an archetype that values reason, compassion and equanimity and last, perhaps when men finally succeed in making 99.9% of human beings extinct.
Yes, men in general, I say this to you! Men as individuals?…..there is always a few exceptions to any rule of thumb. However, the exceptions are so small in number that they are rendered helpless in changes that are needed. Just as reasonable, practical, foucused women warrioers are in short supply.
Maybe if women also stopped trying to be what so many MEN say they want, things would change too. Maybe if women fouhgt to the death that rapist some things might change.
But don’t hold your breath. The best I have done as a woman is speak my experiences, tend to my health instead of vanity and make sure that when any man looks me in the eye, he KNOWS I will not allow him to hurt me without a serious fight.
