Why aren't more people, men especially, shocked and outraged [View all]

by what Brit Hume said on Sunday?

Basically, Hume is equating masculinity with being a bully and a thug.

We hear a lot about "misandry" on DU, and today have a 260-plus post discussion on some lone "rad fem" blogger, with obvious issues, who equates all sexual intercourse with rape. She has no apparent influence on anyone outside of her (presumably small) circle of personal friends, and is, from what I can read of it, coming out of a place of anguish, even bitterness, as has been pointed out by dozens of DUers.

But when a mainstream media figure with millions of viewers says that to be a real man is to be a thug, a bully, a creep who impedes medical care to a 92 year-old woman and the search for a missing four year-old child, we get crickets, relatively speaking. Oh, yes, the woman on the panel freaks out, and there's blowback on the part about the "feminized" atmosphere making it so tough on poor widdle Chris.

But shouldn't men be just as outraged by this statement as women?

And if so, I'm curious to know then why there's been such an evident disparity in the response here on DU.
