White Ribbon Day = Misguided Male Feminists’ Day

Sadly WR day is upon us again.

Every year since I was abused by an ex female partner, I have to put up with what I view as a sexist assault on fatherhood and men, all the while females are given a glossy coat of benevolence.

From my experience, and the statistics bear this out,  I know that women are capable and more than willing to abuse and attack men in any number of ways.

White ribbon day is like the loaded question: “Have you stopped beating your wife?” any answer will result in a bad picture of oneself as a man, as a husband, as a father. Men who swear never to hurt women, to me seem to be admitting a flaw in themselves and promising to fix it, regardless of any actual proof of that flaw.

Many will make the argument that women are over represented as victims, yet most of the stats show very similar numbers for male and female abuse. In any case, why disregard the minority? Just because they might be lesser in numbers doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Why strive for no violence against women by men and ignore violence against men by women?! (Even if the latter were lesser in number, would that be a reason to ignore female against male violence?!) All forms of violence are bad, so why not just say that, why do we have to single out a gender?

Why are these men wearing the white ribbon so hypocritical?

Is discrimination against men acceptable in levelling the playing field of gender?
