ANNCast - Ar-moe-geddon

Going to an English language board and posting a message to another poster in a language they can't understand is odious - and actually against ANN rules, I believe. So when you act like a tool, you shouldn't be surprised if the response is not terribly congenial. Duh.

Except its not a conversation.

We are on a forum conversing with each other. How do you fail this hard with basic logic?

And hey, males are also vastly overrepresented in being villains, but I don't see anyone ever complain about that.

Males are over-represented period

In all roles. Well, except those of "love interest" and "object of rescue"

When it comes to the two sexes, men are more abused in domestic violence scenarios than women are, but in our media women tend to be victimized more. Maybe men are using media as a power fantasy to escape from the trauma they experience in their day to day and live out a scenario where they can be empowered and be the hero rather than the victim.

What?

He's pointing out the reality of how the very concept of domestic violence has become a one-way street, and men receive unfair treatment in terms of the justice system. So, while studies find that women initiate the violence roughly 24% of the time (men 27%, and the rest is relatively mutual), women are overwhelmingly viewed as victims. That's even when males report being attacked first, and not being aggressor, the male is generally the one placed under arrest. Oh, what a world.

Mainly for those who need a heavy dose of evidence and facts.

Side effects include cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy of beliefs, or submerging yourself even deeper into delusion. Ask your doctor (the closest rational person you can find) if evidence and facts are for you.
