* Twenty one key statistical indicators each illustrate how men have been and are being systematically discriminated against by government fiat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEALTH: Women hold 65% of the country's wealth [Fortune Magazine]
(although women are generally not amongst the very rich, they obtain the bulk of middle class wealth. Husbands contribute to her standard of living. Thus, it doesn't matter whether he's earning significantly more than his wife. In households, a both partners share the same level of wealth. In contrast, women are unlikely to share their prosperity with any male, including a spouse.)
CHILD CUSTODY: Women receive custody of 92% of the children of divorce and illegitimacy, and men only 4%. [Department of Health & Human Services]
INCOME: Men constitute 60% of workplace hours, work longer hours, work harder, and are more qualified, rarely file discrimination or harassment lawsuits or take pregnancy leave. Nor, do they question working conditions. [Dept. Labor]
SUICIDE: Men's suicide rate is 4.6 times higher than women's [Dept. Health & Human Services -- 26,710 males vs 5,700 females]
(Important notice: Actual facts are actually more imbalanced than the alleged statistics. Many cases are undocumented. And, others are officially deemed accidental.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: Men's life expectancy is seven (7) years shorter than women's [National Center for Health Statistics -- males 72.3 yrs vs females 79 yrs] yet receive only 35% of government expenditures for health care and medical costs.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Men are discriminated against BY DESIGN through affirmative action.
FEDERAL TAXES: Even though men pay 115% of federal income taxes women constitute 11% more of the voters.
VOTE: Because there are 11% more female than male voters, males have little to no influence on how the male tax dollar is spent.
WAR: Men, not women, fight and die in battle [Dept. Defense -- Vietnam Casualties 47,369 men vs 74 women] while women sue the taxpayer for every minesquile inconvenience.
WORKPLACE FATALITIES: Men account for more than 95% of workplace fatalities.
PRIMARY SPECIAL INTEREST: Men are actually murdered at a rate almost 5 times that of women [Dept. Health & Human Services -- 26,710 men vs 5,700 women]. The media is primarily concerned with women. Thus, they create false claims regarding crimes against women, which allows them to ignore men. Also, we believe that any crime should be taken seriously. However, it should not be defined based upon one's gender. Thus, if a female is the victim of a mugging or robbery, this should not be considered a crime against women.
JURY BIAS: Women are acquitted of spousal murder at a rate 9 times that of men [Bureau Justice Statistics -- 1.4% of men vs 12.9% of women]
COURT BIAS: Men are sentenced 2.8 times longer than women for spousal murder [Bureau Justice Statistics -- men at 17 years vs women at 6 years]
JUSTICE SYSTEM BIAS: Even though the amount of the average "child support payment" due from women is half the amount due from men, and even though women are twice as likely as men to default on those payments, fathers are 97% of "child support" collections prosecutions [Census Bureau]
WELFARE: Even though men are the recipients of less than 10% of all welfare disbursements, women receive additional subsidies from the government. Also, some men are required to refund payments to ex-spouses.
SECONDARY EDUCATION: Even though zero percent of American 12th grade girls were able to correctly answer basic math and physics questions, less than one quarter of America's secondary and elementary school teachers are men.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES: there are literally several hundred different type of jobs which are not socially acceptable for a man to perform. For example: a recent study found, over 98% of all kindergarten teachers are female. Also, there are millions of desirable jobs which cannot be filled by men, simply because he's required to earn enough money to impress a potential partner. For example: virtually all full-time employees at any local grocery story are female. The reason is because, husbands are forced to commute long distances. Also, you can search any dating agency. And, women have specific requirements pertaining to the salary which her future partner must earn. Thus, he cannot select any job which wouldn't meet her expectations.
HIGHER EDUCATION: There are more than 200 all-female colleges for women and currently not one single all-male college for men.
Previously, 5.8% fewer men than women are enrolled in 4 year colleges,
but the figure continuously grows wider.
Men are stereotyped as non-intelligent. Even though two thirds of those who score higher than 550 in SAT Math are males.
In 1993 only 44.5% of college enrollment were men, and that figure has declined since then.
Only 45.8% of of bachelor's degrees were conferred to men in 1992,
even though over 75% of the top fiftieth percentile of the GRE are men,
and zero percent of American high school girls correctly answered 28 out of 67 TIMSS advanced math questions.
Only 38.4% of private 4 year college students were men as of 1990, and this figure has declined since then.
LEGAL SYSTEM BIAS: [Read: The media creates rhetoric which entitles women to preferential treatment. For example: Activists claim there's no reason for laws to protect men, because it's simply unnecessary.
FALSE NEGATIVE STEREOTYPING (and their consequences): 'Woman's Groups' create Myths, pretending that husbands are dangerous. This assumption allows laws to discriminate against men. Also, a woman could use this dogma as an excuse, if she wages harm upon her spouse. Indeed, many women use argument during divorce proceedings. But ultimately, there are relatively low cases of domestic violence. On a larger scale, this information can be used if she decides to physically harm her former spouse. This overall stereotyping against men suggests that he deserves vigilant punishment]. [also refer to:Chadwick and Heaton, "Statistical Handbook of the American Family"]
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Even though study after study shows that women are the majority of the initiators of domestic violence, legal initiatives only protect women. Yet Roughly 58% of physical altercations are initiated by the female.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES: the government targets against men, for the most trivial reasons. Thus, it's entirely possible for any man to face legal punishment. For example: a female lawyer theorized that, if any man tapped a woman on her buttocks, this would constitute physical & sexual assault.
DECEPTIVE LAWS: the Vawa is an example of anti-male legislation, created by N.O.W. And, it's designed to impose devastating authority over men. This fact should be obvious. Yet, very few people bother to realize it.
REPETITIVE CAMPAIGNS: WE frequently hear about new laws which protect women. And, it's actually nothing more than a repetition of previous doctrine. Why does our government continue proposing new laws which are similar to already existing legislation?
CHILD VIOLENCE: Even though mothers commit 55% of child murders and biological fathers commit 6%, even though NIS-3 shows that Mother-only households are 3 times more fatal to children than Father-only households, children are systematically removed from the natural fathers who are their most effective protectors and men are imprisoned at rate 20 times that of women.
FAMILY BREAKDOWN: The US Surgeon General notes that divorce is more harmful to a man's health than smoking tobacco, yet as much as $1.3 Trillion of federal expenditures accomplish little else than undermine family stability. In short: our Government & media encourages divorce.
TEASING & TAUNTING: The Media used to brag that 1.4 million American wives commit adultery. They later encouraged women to completely ignore men. And, girls are being pressured by extremists to commit homosexual acts.
The media also encourages women to break-up with their boyfriends. (example: Feminist playwrights teach this theme. And, the movie, "Runaway Brides".)
[NOTE: the above issue is separate from the discouragement of marriage & break down of family.]
INCARCERATION:
only 99,000 of the 1.8 million Americans behind bars are women.
It's a well-known fact, that women receive small sentences for committing the same crimes as men. This was true throughout the 20th century.
Also, female inmates receive a less harsh treatment during their incarceration.
Women are also given maternity wards, which allows fulfillment of this role. THere is no such opportunities or programs for male inmates who are fathers. Also, even the most dangerous female criminals receive better conditions while in prison.
UNACCOUNTABILITY:
even though women file more than 100,000 false allegations of assault, every year, this problem is significantly worse beyond the legal scope. Arguably, most women are capable of using legal power over men. Also, she never receives punishment for their attempts to falsely imprison a man. There is no legislation which punishes these efforts on her part.
INVASIONS OF PRIVACY: Males in juvenile detentions can be strip-searched by female guards. While, male guards are not even allowed in the barracks of female inmates. Plus, women sometimes walk freely into men's locker-rooms. And, female cleaning personnel often walk into Men's bathrooms & shower rooms. IN fact, there are several accounts from the 1950's & 1960's of cleaning ladies who routinely walked into men's bathrooms. And, female teachers were always allowed to walk into boys locker rooms.
PRIVILEGE OF TRUST & TOTAL ACCEPTANCE: before the 1980's, mothers were freely allowed to walk into their son's locker rooms. This included boys until the age of 18. This meant, of course, she could remain in the presence of every male, including other sons. Not to mention, the other moms were also present. Additionally, ladies without children could also remain, without being questioned.
GENERAL FAVORITISM: People often see things from her perspective. They also speak more positively regarding maternal figures. This is not limited to one's actual mother. But, all female relative are generally given this status. Also, males are taught, that, they should never argue with a woman. There are many examples of general favoritism. Girls are allowed to be self-centric. Many people think it's cute or funny when a female mistreats the opposite sex. The average teenage girl would be proud to consider herself a "man-eater". Plus, they generally refuse to speak with any boy, unless he's several years older than her.
