Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Mel Gibson's Misogyny is exactly equal to Main Stream Media's MisogynyFriday, July 16, 2010 at 12:34 pm — admin
 Remember when liberal media called Hillary Clinton a "big Fucking Whore." And a "White Bitch." And that a man should be "take [Clinton] into a room and only he comes out." In order of citation: Air America, the New York Timesm, and MSNBC. Remember when Letterman called Palin a slut and liberal media wanted to rape her or have a group of black men gang rape her? ( Sandra Bernhard’s lewd comments calling Palin a "whore" and a "bitch" and then warned Palin that she ought not come to NYC or "if Palin ever visited New York, she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers.") Now we have everyone up in arms because Mel Gibson is calling his girlfriend a whore, a bitch, a slut and he has threatened to beat her up, and worries that if she dresses too too then a pack of niggers will gang rape her. If we want Mel's Misogyny to end, we have to demand that Liberal Media end it as well. The only thing that Mel Gibson did that Liberal Media did not--was use the word nigger. Get real women! Until we DEMAND respect, we will not get it and our children will grow up thinking all women who displease them are whores, bitches and sluts and women who want power are the worst kind of whores, bitches or sluts. Call a black a nigger go to racism jail; call a woman a bitch get a fat paycheck from Hollywood and Liberal Media. links for a few here, if you need more ask. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-35532-Dallas-Political-Buzz-Examiner~... http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2008/09/19/sandra-bernhard-palin... |

OMG, Frank Rich is trying in
OMG, Frank Rich is trying in his Sunday piece to say that Mel's rant shows conservatism in a bad light. That sexist turd needs to read this piece by FemiSex.
Washington, D.C. – Sue Else,
Washington, D.C. – Sue Else, president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, today issued the following statement in response to the tape recordings of Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend.
“Mel Gibson’s behavior on the recordings is deplorable. His violent threats and demeaning words are themselves forms of abuse. "

Yes, Ms. Else, so true.... but to root out a cancer you have to do more than attack the satellites, you have to go after the primary tumor or it is like playing whack a mole.
Won't anyone be brave enough to go after the primary tumor of Liberal media tha nurtures all the Mel's and Dowds and Olbermanns and Berhardts and Randi Rhodes etc. etc. etc.
I think this is a brilliant
I think this is a brilliant analysis. thanks.
And I also want to point out one good thing Mel did --pointing out that Grigorieva's fake boobs "look stupid."
Yeah he is exactly like MSM, only they promote fake boobs for women.
Most men hate women's bodies.
Most men hate women's bodies. They say they love them, but they love to make fun of them and ridicule them, considering them some sort of ugly joke. If Gibson hates fake tits, then what did he screw someone with them for? Because he like having something around to hate and hold in contempt, all the better if its attached to the universe's pre-fab hate receptacle and punching bag, a woman. The world promotes fake tits for women because they love having us make ourselves objects of contempt. It makes it easier to hurl jokes at us, which is their favorite pastime.
Fake breasts themselves are proof that men hate women's bodies, for all their protestations to the contrary. If they liked normal natural breasts, then WTF are they the body part women are encouraged to chop up and mutilate and completely alter for? Why does every female porn star in the universe have fake tits? Because men hate the real thing. If men LIKED breasts, they'd be the LAST thing that got cut up and altered.
Men are sick fucks ...
I agree. For the complex
I agree. For the complex reasons that Janis went into above, it is not a good thing that Gibson attacked his wife for having a breast job. It's just sick.
Well, there you go with the
Well, there you go with the LOGIC again. We can't have that!

Wonderful article! I've been horrified by Gibson since the tapes came out and I've long realized the misogyny in the liberal media. But I did not make the connection that you have made so well here - that they are one and the same. And that our misogynistic liberal media helps to create men like Gibson as well as the many unknown rapist, abusive husbands and boyfriends and other sorts of misogynists all across our country.
Very enlightening, thank you.
Yes, this post is excellent.
Yes, this post is excellent. It really struck a nerve regarding how much of what Gibson did is done every day in our media market culture.
Here is a web site that has partial list of media sexism aimed at Palin.
http://palinsexismwatch.blogspot.com/
It's not my site, just something I came across when looking for the comic who said he wanted to rape Palin as his wife looked on while reading from the bible. I didn't find that slur, but the site has a bunch of others.
