Femicrite!

Another brilliant (?) find on the internet: This dickhead. Apparently men are being systematically oppressed by the evil feminists who rose up and decided to bring the perfect male down from his elevated an well-deserved image.

Now, I'm all for considering the idea that the white male in America often does have a hard time. And I think, in a lot of ways, he does. However, does man need a bunch of women to stand up and defend him? Well, I'd hope men would learn, like women did, to push back when they got pushed around too much. And seriously, let's consider that given the mechanisms that do work against man (child custody rulings and affirmative action come to mind) he still manages to somehow come out on top in this world. Despite this consideration, there was (apparently) an outcry from the masses of oppressed male for some chick to stand on her internet podium and attack feminism. Shouldn't she get her ass in the kitchen and make them all sandwiches rather than voicing her inferior opinion on the internet? Seriously ladies: if you don't like feminism, stay in the kitchen.


What her real problem is (as with most deceptive morons) is that she can easily quote facts, without considering the most probable causes.

3. INCOME: Men constitute 60% of workplace hours, work longer hours, work harder, and are more qualified, rarely file sexual discrimination or harassment lawsuits or take pregnancy leave, yet earn only 42% more than women --Why men make up the majority of the working world is obvious, and even coincides with her apparent beliefs (men work, women stay home). Men rarely file sexual harassment claims because they rarely get sexually harassed. The pregnancy leave reason is obvious, and the statement that they are more qualified or hard-working is something I doubt was actually measured statistically--it's a subjective statement and does not belong. As for earning "only42% more"? I'd like to know how she got that. Especially since she cites this "Dept. Labor", but the Department of Labor I found says that women earn 81% of what men make. Hmm...

4. SUICIDE: Men's suicide rate is 4.6 times higher than women's --Apparently this leads to the conclusion that we are oppressing men? The NIMH says that the elderly are more likely to commit suicide too. I definitely recall Gloria Steinem saying how we must undermine the elderly... And here's a nugget: white men (aha!) over the age of 85 have the highest rate of suicide. They must be doing it because they're too old to remember the days when women were only secretaries and teachers!

5. LIFE EXPECTANCY: Men's life expectancy is seven (7) years shorter than women's -- [. . .] yet receive only 35% of government expenditures for health care and medical costs. --There's a good reason for both these things: men don't go to doctors unless a limb falls off. It's not Betty Friedan's fault that men won't get an annual checkup.

7. FEDERAL TAXES: Even though men pay 115% of federal income taxes women constitute 11% more of the voters. --This statistic makes no fucking sense. And still, whose fault is it if men aren't getting out to vote as much as women? (She goes on to say, "Because there are 11% more female than male voters, males have little to no influence on how the male tax dollar is spent," which apparently implies that women vote in blocs in order to muscle out the male vote with our tiny advantage--which is actually 3.1% according to site.

9. WAR: Men, not women, fight and die in battle [Dept. Defense -- Vietnam Casualties 47,369 men vs 74 women]. . . --Ah, which leads us to an important problem that I believe feminists are fighting to change... women on the front lines. Interestingly enough, she cites Vietnam casualties, a war that had so few women involved that there was no official count, although we can rely on an estimate of less than 10,000 (compared to the ~2.6 million troops who fought in Vietnam).

11. MURDER: Men are murdered at a rate almost 5 times that of women-- Which is funny, because men are 9 times more likely to commit murder than women, according to this report.

12. JURY BIAS: Women are acquitted of spousal murder at a rate 9 times that of men [Bureau Justice Statistics -- 1.4% of men vs 12.9% of women]-- However, juries are often well-mixed, and both women and men are apparently guilty of this "jury bias." We must remember that juries are the people, so a "jury bias" is a really dumb idea.

13. COURT BIAS: Men are sentenced 2.8 times longer than women for spousal murder [Bureau Justice Statistics -- men at 17 years vs women at 6 years]-- Apparently the requirements for Murder One (often receiving a minimum of 15 years) is biased against men too.

16. SECONDARY EDUCATION: Even though zero percent of American 12th grade girls were able to correctly answer basic math and physics questions, less than one quarter of America's secondary and elementary school teachers are men.-- Note: there's no citation of this. I find the former statistic extremely unlikely (or poorly conducted). The latter statistic is probably due to the fact that most men don't want jobs teaching secondary or elementary school. Of the 15 students in my college "Math for Elementary Teachers" class, there were 2 guys--one who was actually seriously considering being an elementary teacher.

17. HIGHER EDUCATION: [. . . .]-- I'm going to skip over a lot of this crap by saying Hampden-Sydney, if 44.5% in 1993 is a decline from 38.2% in 1990 I'd like to see that research, as of 2004 USAToday reports that 43% of college campuses are men, more high school graduates are girls, and if 43% make up the enrollment but 45.8% make up degree recipients then we can see that men are gaining an advantage as women drop out. (I'm not going to even touch an uncited statistic that has a figure of 0%.)

19. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Even though study after study shows that women are the majority of the initiators of domestic violence, and 58% of the above mentioned physical altercations are initiated by the female [. . . .]-- so many studies and not a single one cited. How convenient. And yet, also lacking is a definition of what "initiating" domestic violence is. A tossed china plate? An insult? Not enough mayonnaise on a sandwich? So now we have a woman accussing her own sex of firing up men's violent tempers on purpose? How anti-woman is that? "She's just trying to get her husband to beat her because she knows the law will protect her!" I'm sure that's what all victims of domestic abuse think.

21. FAMILY BREAKDOWN: The US Surgeon General notes that divorce is more harmful to a man's health than smoking tobacco, yet as much as $1.3 Trillion of federal expenditures accomplish little else than undermine family stability.-- I'm not sure what this is claiming. Okay, so divorce is very harmful for men (assumably not the best thing to happen to women either). So let me get this straight: the government is trying to make families less stable by spending $1.3 trillion? Now, I went to this website but the chart didn't have a spot for "undermining family stability." However, we're spending more on destabilizing American families than the Health and Human Services budget (~$600 billion).

22. WOMEN PILOTS: Even though women pilots have an accident rate four times
that of men pilots, federal laws require that airlines risk the safety of passengers and hire women pilots anyway.-- I've found no evidence to suggest any of this.

23. WOMEN DRIVERS: Even though the crash rate of women drivers is twice that of men drivers, and even though drinking alcohol increases the crash rate of men by only 5%, the majority of those imprisoned under DUI laws are men, and women are almost never imprisoned for their much higher number of non-alcohol-related crashes.-- the mangling of facts is extraordinary! Women crash more cars, more men get imprisoned for DUI, therefore, why aren't women getting imprisoned for crashing cars? It should be noted that the majority of people don't get imprisoned for car crashes, and also women have less severe car crashes. Men are more likely to do the really big fuckups (like get drunk and crash their car), whereas women often just run over a mailbox. (Also, this website says that drivers with BAC levels between 0.05 and 0.09 percent (below the average legal limit), are 11.1 times more likely to have a fatal one-car crash than non-drinkers. (Don't even look at what it becomes after you exceed legal limits.) But apparently drinking alcohol only increases the crash rate of men by 5%. (For the incompetent females who can't do the math: 5% ≠ 11.1 times more)

24. INCARCERATION: Even though feminists brag that 1.4 million American brides commit adultery, and even though women file more than 90,000 false allegations of rape, every year, only 99,000 of the 1.8 million Americans behind bars are women.-- whose bragging? And, once again, lovely juxtaposition of facts: Lots of women commit adultery and file false rape claims, but not enough women are behind bars? Adultery is not a crime. False rape allegations aren't either, although I will admit that they are a sign of how far feminists have to go. When we have whiny college girls falsely accusing poor boys of rape all over the place, we're clearly seeing a sign of weak women trying to abuse the system to get back at boyfriends. This is a case for feminism, because it will result in stronger women who won't do shit like this. However, the false allegations are no argument for imprisoning women, nor should they be understood as a reason to ignore rape victims. Rape is a very delicate situation, and it is severely underreported as well as overreported.


All in all, I think this woman is a case against feminism. I mean, if empowering women means that this dumb bunny can run her mouth off about how feminists are driving men to suicide with adultery, bad piloting, and divorce, then maybe we should just march on Washington and tell them to take suffrage back. Heh, I just kid. But hey, she's a sister and maybe all she really needs is a good reason to love her clit. Women like this are just signals about how little progress women have made. We can't even convince all the American women that they're not inferior, how can we say we've won?
