If it were only the comic strip, I'd pretty much agree. It isn't.
You can't go see a movie today that doesn't have some guy getting slapped, punched, kicked, patted on the ass, kicked in the crotch or hit over the head with an instrument. It isn't funny.
The very things women spent decades trying to educate men about, are now the funnies things when perpetrated on males.
I doubt many men take notice of these things. Guys, I'd advise you to do so. You're sons are going to be subject to some pretty interesting double standards if you don't.
People act out what they see in film. It it's acceptable for the 'royal class' in America to do these things on film, then those acts are going to be seen creeping into domestic situations. That is not good.
It's the shallow women's movement that should be ashamed of themselves. If one tenth of the physical activity leveled againt men in movies today were perpetrated against females instead, we'd hear screams of bloody murder. Today these feminist wind-bags remain silent.

SUMMARY: This bibliography examines 155 scholarly investigations: 126 empirical studies and 29 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 116,000.
"I'm sorry, I can't dance with you. My wife would break my jaw!"
"I'm sorry, I can't dance with you. My husband would break my jaw!"
One of those is mildly amusing. The other is distinctly creepy.
Agreed, it IS hypocritcal, but don't make too much out of it.
I would never hit a woman - unprovoked. My Dad taught me to NEVER hit a female, UNLESS she "put herself in a man's shoes and hits you first".
That's my policy, anybody that uses physical violence against me will have it returned; man or woman.
Teach THAT to your sons, men.
Well, they're about to get their chance. For the first time in DECADES, there is a commercial on TV which shows "the woman" in a bad light! Has anyone else noticed how commercials always have the guy be a doofus or a boorish lout who doesn't "get it" -- while the woman (or the child) is calm and competent?
Well, on today's Eagles' game, Budweiser played a commercial (probably test-running it one-time prior to the Super Bowl); here's how the commercial goes:
An NFL official is on the field with a coach berating him up one side and down the other, while he, the official, stands there and takes it, stoically. The narrator queries, "Ever wonder how these officials are able to take so much abuse so calmly?"
The scene the cuts away, as if in answer to the query, to the same official, in civvies, at home, at the kitchen table, with his battleaxe wife just using him verbally, screaming in a voice not unlike Hilary's shrill shriek.
The point of the commercial seems to be that the man will later relax with a Budweiser.
Did anyone else see it? There is no way the NOW naggers will let THAT one lay. I laughed my A off.
