How many women risked their lives to protect their boyfriends in Aurora, Colorado?

Does this relentless imagery have any effect on impressionable minds, moulding them into a gross insensitivity to any male suffering? What do you think? And if you really think the answer is no, then would you be happy to see the female body subjected to the same treatment and on the same scale? If not, why not?

Wow, quite the moving message there! A lot of powerful (but necessary) imagery, and a worthy topic as well!

Let's see...honestly, I find any body that is subjected to the sort of horrors you describe to be gut-wrenching and sickening. I despise needless suffering to the point of me becoming a vegetarian at age 13, and volunteering at a wildlife/abused pets program for 4 years. The idea of any human, be they man, woman or child being seen as nothing more than a body is deeply disturbing on a core level to me.

However, (and I hope this offends no one) I've always looked at pictures of injured males as more vulnerable than injured females...I don't mean to be blatantly sexualizing, but the fact that males have outer genitals always kind of made me think that you guys might be more sensitive to pain or at least more aware of your extremities than we women are. Don't know if there's anything to that, as I (obviously) don't have those parts, but 1 of my friends says it's true.

As for mass culture, it's gross. The whole double standard of "don't hit girls" or "women are delicate flowers" then you see guys getting slapped across the face or kneed in the balls is just too much. I shudder to think what this type of media is doing to those who watch it. Of course, if you try to bring this up to most people they will say it's just comedy/empowerment and to leave it alone. Want proof? Youtube has ABC's What Would You Do in regards to hitting men vs hitting women. Not only do they have 1 Male Abuse episode to 5 Female Abuse episodes, but only 1 group stood up for the man getting hit.

It's as though empathy for other living beings welfare is looked down on

Marc Lepine. He told the men to leave and they left, then he shot the women.

Since women want to get on men about their duty to defend, let's turn that one around: women could have rushed Lepine AND Holmes, and they didn't. Not a one.

Women have no qualms rushing a man or threatening a man when he speaks something they don't like if there's many of them together especially. Women have no problems talking to men and approaching men as if they are men themselves. Many women are quite "brave" until situations arise where they have the chance to put their "bravery" to the test.

Expecting men to die to save women who hate them is more than cold. Yet, to people who aren't being killed it's "business as usual. Well, from a business standpoint, would you terminate workers who are more productive or less productive?

Overall, men are far more productive than women even though women have more time on earth to be unproductive. Putting producers into harm's way in order to protect parasites is a disservice to humanity. So from a business standpoint it's a bad decision. This is a cold response to a cold reality that misandrists further perpetuate. If they believe in it then let them die with their convictions.

Obviously, there is more to humanity to production but there is also more to humanity than reproduction and those are the crutches women and misandric men alike use to beat us with. All men aren't productive but not all women reproduce neither and so what if they did? It doesn't matter how productive a man is, yet, he's still expected to die. As long as they use the reproduction argument we can use the production argument, fair enough?
