The constant attempt to portray things as balanced. [View all]
Last week a big story broke about a dentist who pulled out all of her ex's teeth in a fit of revenge or something. It was posted on DU more than once I'm sure. Anyway, it turns out it was a hoax.
Meanwhile this story was barely mentioned.

Not at all on DU, and I didn't hear about it until just now, when someone on another feminist board mentioned it.
But of course violence against women is so commonplace, isn't it? So, I guess that makes it somehow less newsworthy?
I don't know. I'm pissed off now thinking of all the 'but men get raped too!' shit, and all the other similar crap.
We know, guys, and who is raping men the vast majority of the time? Who causes most of the violence towards men? Who is *usually* the one demeaning and berating a man for not being manly enough? OTHER MEN!
Fuck.
