When will we acknowledge sexism and violence against men is just as real?

I think the second, but it depends which part of the country I'm visiting and the company I'm in. My accent shifts around all the time depending who I'm with and where I am. Maybe blending in is a survival mechanism. ;)
To a certain degree, it probably is. Not only in nature were we see animals blending in with each other or their environment to increase their survival, but even in human society often times sticking out too much or not being able to blend in enough can cause problems with being accepted by others.
I don't say to ignore problems. Just don't blame people who didn't cause the problem because of some shared trait with those who did.
He may not be blaming anyone other than the patriarchy that has long repressed women. Repressed people are known for eventually attacking their repressors, and the repressing behavior often leads to self-defeating consequences. One such area in which no one male is being blamed but every male pays for it is how men are looked down on for being beaten up by another man, and humiliated if he is beaten by a woman. Radical feminist tend to hate men and go too far, but they aren't shooting and killing people either.

I point you to this lovely gem of journalism where the author devotes the entire article to making fun of the male victim for having his scrotum ripped off.

Angry ex-girlfriend goes ballistic, rips off man

There was also a recent incident where the women on the View showed a callous disregard for a different man who had his penis cut off by an angry spouse.

We are not talking about comedy halls where anything goes. We are talking about mainstream media and television outlets making fun of men who are victimized by women.

Males are more likely to successfully commit suicide after a divorce; they have virtually no reproductive recourse, further stunted by family courts that consider a penis a disadvantage; they are far less likely to attain a high school diploma, bachelor's degree, and now attend non-STEM graduate programs; among 22-30 years men make 8% less than women; as boys they're far more likely to be disciplined and misdiagnosed; as men they serve longer sentences for the same crime, yet 40% of domestic violence victims are men where the perpetrator was a women. We laugh when a woman on television slaps a man, but if a woman is even portrayed in bad light, organizations like NOW yell until it's repealed. When will society wake up that systematic sexism is not limited to one side of the equation?

There's been a lot of questions raised about why men are dropping out of society and not committing to marriage. I think the answer is clear. There's really no place for the average man nowadays.
Boowhooooo Booooowhooooo waaaa waaaaa.

I disagree. I have three sons, and I care deeply about their futures, their opportunities, their safety, and their sense of well being. I will as their mother - even though they all tower over me and can pick me up with one arm - fight for them and defend them and love them.

I know I'm loud and passionately vocal for women's rights, but in no way does that translate to a dismissal of the rights and protections for men.
Are you sure about that last line? Thing is, if you keep jumping up and down for women's rights and not men's, does that not mean that that is what you care about?

I'm absolutely sure. Perhaps we disagree in the notion that caring for men and women's rights and liberties and protections are not mutually exclusive.

I have four kids. One of them is on the autism spectrum. He faces bigger challenges than my other three kids do. I'm a passionate advocate for his well being and his rights as an autist. But in no way does that mean I'm not caring about my other three kids and their well being and their rights.

I had a discussion about this with a female social worker involved with domestic violence. She admitted to me that a very large percentage of cases were in her opinion triggered by female behaviour toward their men, including consistent acts of violence. She also admitted to me that there was no way she could publically acknowledge that and maintain her position.
I have seen in the press that women are reported as starting more arguments with their partner than men, and they admit it freely.

Well that's good, but it does not appear that way when you speak, only when, if I can put it this way, you're cornered.

My roomate has a little handmade anarcho-feminist flag that sits in her room. On it, "Dead men don't rape."
Now ain't she just cute! It's those kinda comments that could leave someone caring less about rape victims. Just sayin.

Let's be fair about feminism in general. There are elements which really do advocate for a brand of equality which helps both men & women.

You know already, Mystic, that it is men's far-out fantasy that every louded-mouthed, arrogant 24-year-old girl was like you. :D

She reminds me of this slogan.....

Sheridan obviously never had any Thalassery Meen Curry.
Zing!
But that curry is in fact dead.
Zing!

Back to your earlier post.....
What's your opinion about the significance of anarcho-feminist flag slogan, "Dead men don't rape"?

Didn't see the vid on account of cost to me (pay as you go) so if there is anything of importance and you want me to know, it will have to be written. Youtube just sucks the life out of your credit.

And though I might not advocate women's rights, nor do I men's... we are supposed to keep the commandments of God, that is the whole duty of man.

I think you need to reaffirm what you've said at least several hundred times in the last couple years. You're worst quality as a feminist Mystic is not emphasizing every 18 seconds how much you equally like male rights.
Well if you don't, people might get the wrong impression,like you seem to have done about me, eh :p
