GENDER VIEWS SELDOM OFFERED BY BIG MEDIA AND LEADING FEMINISTS


Because "Men Have the Power," Getting the Male Side Heard Is So Frustrating.


Men's Issues



THE TOPICS:

GENDER VIOLENCE

...It Makes Some Feminists Want a World Without Men...


...But what about women's violence? If feminists (and the media) don't take women's violence seriously, why should men take women's opinions seriously? After all, according to ideological feminists' own definition of hate crimes, violence is merely an opinion acted out, a view expressed by behavior.
"If one is to accept the basic principles of equality that feminism advances, then one must accept that women, like men, are capable of the entire range of human action and experience: from the summits of artistic creativity and human compassion, to the depths of debased violence and evil." --Adam Jones


Sexual Harassment


"With this I will manipulate your little male brain." But all power carries a price tag.

THE WORLD OF CHILDREN

As society vigorously promotes women's equality in the world of work, it generally impedes men's equality in the world of children.

THE WORLD OF WORK

Series 10, No. 235 - Page 17 Table 1. Frequencies of selected circulatory diseases among persons 18 years of age and over, by selected characteristics: United States, 2006—Con.
 
Stroke number in thousands:

Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) death rates by sex:

Definition of cerebrovascular disease : stroke, transient ischemic attack, which is a sudden or a temporary loss of blood flow to an area of the brain, usually lasting less than five minutes but not longer than 24 hours, with complete recovery (See ASA: "Women Less Likely [Than Men] to Have Stroke in the Wake of TIA."

The data in the table below is drawn from Table 118. Death Rates from Cerebrovascular Diseases by Sex and [select] Ages: 2005

Rates per 100,000 population 



AGES


MALE


FEMALE

25 to 34

35 to 44

45 to 54

55 to 64

65 to 74

75 to 84

85 & +

1.5

5.2

13.6

27.9

90.5

349.5

1,196.1


Only women 85 years old and over die more often of stroke than men. But these women possess a characteristic overlooked by the ideologues out to prove women are victimized by sexist male doctors: They outlived the vast majority of the population, especially the male population.
