The defenses are weak on their face- as recent post on this thread re not being allies with Christians and Jews.) non-islamic religions and practices are banned. they protest killing of muslims by non-muslims- but don't raise hue and cry about killing of muslims by muslims. much like blacks in USA. our culture is a disaster Hollywood, USA, commercials glorify women hitting men- in the face,pounding them in the chest, throwing plates at them, kneeing or kicking them in the balls. Meanwhile, truth re men's strengths and women's weaknesses are not allowed to be expressed. Hollywood, USA, commercials make jokes about men, portray them in a critical light. This isn't done re others. (since 9/11 there have been a few pro real man articles- mostly by women- at least one was posted on this thread recently.this is like a new discovery.) politicians take "pro-women" positions. they support funding research on women's diseases. blacks support OJ. women support politicians who pander to their supposed interests. white men are fair game. but, no politician can take positions in their favor- as is done for others. they some times r accused of using code words- but do not clearly do so. if a woman merely falsely alleges her husband hit her, he'll be locked up. he has no rights. judges don't want to be criticized by feminists. the few realizing fathers should have rights- r often the second wives in a dispute with the first wife-a man is given no concern. common law- the husband and wife were one- and the one was the husband. now, wife spends money, travels, has sex with whom she wants, does what she wants- we don't have a marriage- we have divorces. man has no authority. woman(not man) decides who to have kid with, whether to have kids, name of kids, whether to let father raise kids with her, whether she'll work.
