Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]
....and with you it still hasn't sunk in that women initiate domestic violence as often as men.
You mean like when feminists with the help of the media propagate that women are victims and men are oppressors?
One may not agree with the blogs in question but it doesn't necessarily invalidate the information or the facts when they are true. As to "Crank" outlets, the Feibert studies were done by divergent groups of professionals with no ax to grind.
Here is what Bernard Goldberg, a CBS correspondent at the time said about journalists.
"When it comes to gender issues, journalists generally have suspended all their usual skepticism. We accept at face value whatever women's groups say. Why? because women have sold themselves to us as an oppressed group and any oppressed group gets a free ride in the press. I don't blalme feminist for telling us half-truths and sometimes even complete fabrication. I do blame my colleagues in the press for forgetting their skepticism."
Of course the feminist perspective in the media is all around us, so much so that people are accustomed to its 'normality'. How many stupid anti-male tv (and radio) ads will it take for that sort of misandry to sink in? I cannot count the amount of ads featuring dumb husbands and their smart wives in advertising or the dozens of sitcoms where the man is always the jerk who in alleged humorous ways is always being lectured by his wife. If the genders were reversed, the protests and howls of "sexism" would be louder than an atom bomb. It is "politically incorrect" to show women in the same way that men are portrayed.
There are too many newspaper stories for me to list as well. When the New York Times featured one of their many 'gender stories' with the headline; Men: Are women better off with them or without them?" you know that a similar article about women was "politically taboo". ... and on it goes.
The above are mere 'tips of icebergs' but a rational reader can already feel the chill.

Some time ago, author David Thomas wrote a book, "Not Guilty" in which he counted New York Times articles that featured stories/articles about men or women. For the year he counted 104 articles for men and 679 for women. This sort of percentage is not untypical when it comes to male and female coverage in the papers, but I enjoy using the very liberal New York Times as an example because it is 'the newspaper' that other journalists rely on for acceptable news.
Except for Fox News, the tv anchors and journalists in the other major stations are liberal thus presenting the stories they 'feel' are important. (at least two surveys of reporters have been taken and both found that at least 85% of the journalists and anchors admitted to be liberal). So the 'tone' of their features is slanted. Even Fox News hires too many blond reporters and tolerates their occassional male-bashing.
As to books, the latest estimate is that since Betty Freidans groundbreaking book in 1963, there have been some 30,000 plus books on feminism not to mention many more articles and specialty pieces in magazines. General people-type magazines are also dominated by women and womens' articles.
Speaking of another form of media; there are too many misandric movies and it would take several pages to go through them. But recent genres include the new action movies. It is now fashionable to see some 100 lb woman beat up 250 lb men, often dozens of them. Amazing how such skinny muscles are superior to mens'. Of course, these are pretend flicks but I've run into women who actually believe such non realities
Populist talk shows like "The View" are dominated by liberal-feminists and in general they too have a jaundiced gender perspective. Again, all this and much more has been accepted because it has grown little-by-little until it has become all pervasive. Of course the frog doesn't know it's slowly being boiled either.
Now, all this is fine except for one rather important aspect. Lets stop bending over backwards and really treat women as equals.
Is Polish media as bad as that in the U.S.?
(As a quick aside, most men will find that if they really treat women as equals that women don't like it. Feminists demand mens' equality while keeping all their traditional benefits thus giving men nothing while continuing to demand more and more (except to be coal miners, or hazmat divers, or long-haul truckers, etc. after all, they might break a nail).
you have repeatedly posted the same thing;
....and with you it still hasn't sunk in that women initiate domestic violence as often as men.
It appears that by blindly following a proscribed path your reasoning went out the window.
You mean like when feminists with the help of the media propagate that women are victims and men are oppressors?
Any links you have posted have been to Blogs or "opinion sites" or on previous occasions to "Crank" sites.

can you provide evidence for your position that a Feminist agenda dominates society in general and the Media in particular.
