Well Valentines day is tommorrow. Oh sorry I mean V-Day:

http://www.vday.org/main.html

Good stuff feminists for turning a day about chivalry into a day about man bashing and lesbian rape scenes in the Vagina Monologues.

Anyway, seeing as modern women commit more violence against men than the reverse and tend to use chivalry to milk men dry (as renaming Valentines day to V-Day illustrates, even though the whole day was about them getting stuff men don't get and sucked to begin with)...

..how about women have V-Day and men have Vagina Dodging Day aka VD Dodging day, VD Day for short, where we dodge "Vs" and the associated chivalry milking ways, not to mention the VDs that come with overly promiscuous modern "Vs"?

So whilst suckers pay to get told they're abusers and contract VD from immoral matriarchs..

Smart men will be spending the money girliemen spend on gifts for man haters on a big fat steak and beer at a nice steakhouse with their bros.

Sound good?

blabbablaba:

You do realise that if the rates are similar, those statistics you cited are balanced out by other types of abuse which just happened to be not singled out... so.. it's an example of one-sided use of statistics, pretty common tactic to bias an issue. Excellent points as usual.

And the report says the rates are similar, which proves my point. More info here:

As for homicide data, women's rate of perpetration used to be more equal in the 1970s. The implications of that may be that the feminist hate movement has failed to protect women:

Rio Madeira:

Umm.. yeeaaah. It's "coincidentally" on the same day and named similarly. Well, notice how VD-Day is coincidentally named similar and on the same day? Nice how it is acceptable to deal with one side of an issue only. Interesting "celebration" though.. celebrating their own victimhood. Why would I want to dodge that?!

They don't get it. They are so angry they can't see the sarcasm.

They fail to see the implications of an attempt to end violence against women and children (only) as anti-male in scope without saying the words. It's called innuendo and feminists are really good at it.
While the idea of ending violence against women and children is a worthy goal, what is NOT said is that men are more often victims of violence or that children are more likely to be abused by their mother than any other person or that women are every bit as good at abuse as men.
What they absolutely turn green over is the fact that the safest place for women and children is in a family consisting of a mother, father and children yet they perpetuate the very thing that insures violence toward (men) women and children without realizing they demand it.

You spun that site right round, baby, right round, like a record.

Their V-Day is merely a holiday celebrated on the same day as the regular V-Day, only for a different reason. They're not trying to abolish Valentine's Day. They're trying to raise awareness of a different V. And where does it say that they promote violence against men? If you're going to rant against feminism, at least make sure you don't get caught.

It must be said that I, too, am choosing to boycott Valentine's Day. It's a useless commercial holiday that has no value at all.

UPDATE: Yes, they deliberately picked Valentine's Day, but they aren't trying to dominate it. They're just trying to raise awareness for their own cause at the same time. Big deal. Also, they're not celebrating victimhood — they're celebrating their efforts to suppress it.

Does misogyny run in your family? Hate to break it to you, but not all women celebrate Valentine's Day. I don't, and I know a lot of women who think it's just a sentimental, commercialized public relations scam. (By the way, I'm not gay, and my husband would be perfectly happy to waste a bunch of money on it if I wanted him to.) You can celebrate your "VD-Day" 365 days a year if you want to, and I am sure that any woman reading your question would thank you for the favor.

Baba Yaga again, suuure everyone who doesnt agree with feminism is ranting. Way to go what a killer argument. Did you though all by yourself of this wildcard ?

You are ranting, so I will choose which part of your 'question' to address. I will focus on your unfounded, totally unsubstanciated allegation that "...modern women commit more violence against men than the reverse...". Your myths will be dispelled one after the other. In this instance, we will examine data compiled by the Government of Canada. The findings can be extrapolated and applied to similar western, industrialised nations:

"The most complete information about the extent of
spousal abuse in Canada comes from the 1999 General
Social Survey on Victimization (GSS).7 This
victimization survey asked almost 26,000 women and men
in Canada about their experiences of abuse including
experiences of violence and emotional abuse in their
current or previous marriages and common law
partnerships. According to the GSS, women and men
experience similar rates of both violence and
emotional abuse in their relationships. THE SURVEY
FOUND, HOWEVER, THAT THE VIOLENCE EXPERIENCED BY WOMEN TENDS TO BE MORE SEVERE - AND MORE OFTEN REPEATED - than the violence directed at men.

For example, compared to men, women were:

-six times more likely to report being sexually
assaulted
- five times more likely to report being choked
- five times more likely to require medical
attention, as a result of an assault
-three times more likely to be physically injured by an assault
-more than twice as likely to report being beaten
-almost twice as likely to report being threatened with, or having a gun or knife used against them
-much more likely to fear for their lives, or
be afraid for their children as a result of the violence
-more likely to have sleeping problems, suffer
depression or anxiety attacks, or have lowered
self-esteem as a result of being abused, and
-more likely to report repeated victimization.8

Some researchers have noted that the survey also found
that women experience higher levels of certain types
of emotional abuse. Compared to men, women:

-were four times more likely to report being
threatened, harmed, or having someone close to them
threatened or harmed
-were four times more likely to report being
denied access to family income
-were more than twice as likely to report
having their property damaged or their possessions destroyed
-reported a higher incidence of being isolated
from family and friends, and
-reported a higher rate of name-calling and put downs.9

Homicide data reveals that women are also at higher
risk of being killed by their husbands. In the past
two decades, three times as many wives were killed by
their husbands, as husbands killed by wives.10 The
rate of spousal homicide is much higher for Aboriginal
women and men.11"

EDIT:

"...one-sided use of statistics, pretty common tactic to bias an issue..." Indeed, and this is YOUR area of expertise. Also, my source is credible and reputable (the Government of Canada). There were no news stories about flying saucers, space alien invasion and the like on the webpage I cited. Again, citing dodgy sources is "YOUR area of expertise" - NOT mine.

You still have not provided so much as a SHRED OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM - do you think you can find something without conspiracy theories (Princess Diana, etc,. ), reported sightings of Elvis Presley and (yawn) yet more stories about space alien abduction on the same page as your so-called 'evidence'? I don't think you can.

EDIT

Hey Phil: you stated (in the absence of any supporting data) that: "is that men are more often victims of violence ..."

I too believe that men are 'more likely to be the victim of violence" . Problem is that you refuse to say what type of violence you mean. The answer is that males are more violent than women, and you will find the highest rates overall are MALE-ON-MALE VIOLENCE. In this manner, you have skewed the statistics (those that you haven't even bothered to provide). It is exactly as Happy Bullet said: ""...one-sided use of statistics, pretty common tactic to bias an issue..."

If you guys CHOOSE TO RANT in your postings then I have the right to address whichever issue you bring to the fore.

If you don't want it challenged, then keep your gob shut. The logic of this is so simple that even a male chauvinist pig should be able to understand it.
