Or needs it ? There is a long, well documented history of abusive women and men that feed on giving/taking abuse. So it may very well be that not only does she need it...she does deserve it. Was MEW googling again ?

I don't think anyone believes that the fact this girl was drinking means she deserves this horrific crime, but the point is, if the victim was not drinking...would it still have happened ? It's called avoidance, and I can tell you...it's exactly what I talked to my 14 year old daughter about. Drinking makes you open to doing things that you wouldnt do sober. Leaping from telling a girl she shouldnt be drinking (6 years younger than the legal law in my state) to victim blaming is exactly why liberal feminists have no credibility...you can't seem to discriminate between common sense and misogyny. As long as liberal feminism takes the position women should not only have the right to walk through the streets half naked and drunk, but exercise that right, you will remain fringe.

Recognizing danger and taking appropriate steps is not a free pass for criminals. The world as it should be has no relationship to the here and now.

From this writer ? From the woman who only stayed with her husband as long as she did so she could live off his money ? Now there's intimacy ! How many different subjects can MEW google before she runs out of things to hate about men ?

Wait until the Repubs start driving home the fact that Obama bent over backwards to appease the special interest group that is feminism, and although men lost 75% of the jobs, most of the stimulus money went to public sector jobs that dont stimulate but keep the ladies happy....education, healthcare, govt.

I would stick to labeling this battle a pro-choice or pro-abortion rights battle. Last poll I saw showed only 40% support for generally available abortion.....not quite a ringing endorsement or a "women's rights" issue. How about liberal feminist rights ?...maybe Broadsheet girls rights.

As a men's rights supporter, if not activist, my view is these groups will continue to gain more and more power. The more light shown on feminist activism, the more fringe it looks. This blog is the one considered fringe by most of the country. Glenn Sacks allows his detractors to guest blog on his site and engage in online debate. Liberal feminism ?....not so much. The reasons are clear. I believe liberal feminism is the primary reason democrats will not and cannot hold on to majorities. You can't be anti-father and anti-family and still win elections. Search broadsheet and find a single post that is positive about fathers or traditional families....this is a man haters club throwing stones in their glass house.

I had never heard of The Spearhead until you mentioned it, and I support gun control.....maybe I should paint you into the corner with...I dunno Valerie Solanas ?

I suppose your saying feminism isn't fringe ? That may be true of the iFeminist group that has support from left, right and middle....but liberal feminism, is just a tiny little pink ghetto....hmmm just like broadsheet.

You really paint yourself into a corner when you say that the morality of abortion is not debatable. I would think even a majority of pro-choicers like myself still recognize there ARE moral issues at hand.

A majority of white women consistently vote republican. Keep that in mind. Note to Kate...stop repulsing men.

This is not an analysis....it is ideological drivel. Another lesbian telling us men are not required....let's celebrate ! PS Every child does have a mother and father.....initially.

"our quote of the day/week/forever: "Girls, if boys say something that’s not funny, you don’t have to laugh.""

This is your quote of forever ?....really?

I bet girls all across the country/world just breathed a collective sigh of relief to hear this insightful comment for the ages.

The point is feminists don't represent women...so they should stop pretending they do.

Your right in tune.

This certainly wasn't Barbara Boxer's finest moment....and all the additional interpretation added by TCF....just where does she get all that insightful commentary ? Just goes to show, broadsheet is as partisan as candidates that run for office.

Does this mean the militant unrestricted abortion on demand crowd is leaving the democratic party ? Please, please say it's true. That would be equivalent to the GOP chopping off their tea baggers.

What is the single largest demographic of the electorate ? White woman. How do they historically vote on average ? Republican. So feminists should speak for "single white women"...or "single and minority women" they certainly don't speak for women.

I agree that liberal feminists should start a new party and go back to their communist roots. For every liberal feminist vote Dems lose, they gain 2 more.

You don't have to be part of the Christian right to have morals. You don't have to be part of the Christian right to have morals. You don't.....

You might well ask why the choice on demand groups have been so ineffective legislatively. You could start with the fact they are out of step with the rest of the culture. Add to that, their voice is the women's studies crowd that lead everything with "men suck because....."

This post is just one of many that continues to prove that Salon does not have a writer that can address fatherhood at all. Animated fatherhood through a misandric gender lense doesnt cut it....sorry.

How is this ad any different than all the scare tactics liberal feminists use when manufacturing rape statistics ?

How big a tool do you have to be to write a blog post about an article about a letter writer ?

Seinfeld episode #83

Sounds like my neighbor who had to always beat her husband to the mailbox, and even recruited neighbors to help keep her credit cards.."secret".

Sorry...but they're both exaggerations
