Comeon, I really think all these attacks on blackice are unfair. Yes, blackice definitely has societal injustices agaisnt men as his "big issue" on Apolyton. But can anybody here provide any quote from blackice saying he hates women in general? Heck, he just said on another thread:
"To lump one sex or the other like this is simply wrong.
Each sex is made up of people all different and all with their own unique personality. Some are good some are bad. "
All blackice can be said to be "Guilty" of is havign a fixation on one particular topic, but that could be said of lots of posters(for instance, Sten Sture and economics threads). If the topic blackice is posting about doesn't interest you, dont read it- simple!
"Wow, I never realized I was so oppressed. I guess I deserve the easier time in life I get being a man, the higher salaries, no one cutting me off in mid-sentence, no one patronizing me, people taking my opinion seriously, etc."
I don't think anyone will question there aren't serious problems women face in society, but just because women often have a hard time of it doesn't mean it is ok when men fight an injustice. In fact, it is perhaps more important to call attention to these "men's issues" because many aren't aware there are any problems.
One thing though blackice, for a better example of the double standard you are talking about it'd be bettle to look at the Yates trial. She murdered 5 of her children, but got alot of sympathy because she suffered Post-Partum depression. Afterwards, alot of blame got shifted to the husband and there were alot of people who wanted to prosecute him.

Was the Yates case really a double standard? If it had been a man with a long history of mental illness, would public sympathy have been any different?
As far as the Barton stuff, it sounds like the common defence tactic of let's find someone or something to blame, rather than "When in trouble, blame a man."
This is the problem with Blackice's posts. He often raises valid points, but then he always goes to the extreme of saying "ah hah, another example of how women are trying to screw men again. The system is stacked against men."
He's cried wolf far too many times.

Read the article? I fell off my chair howling in laughter when I read this part.
"In reality, the evidence is greater that Terry, not John, was emotionally abusive. Terry put the lives of thousands of people at risk, and then attempted to frame an innocent man for it, knowing that he could go to prison as a result. "

I find nothing funny about that comment at all. Maybe you could enlighten us with what you found so funny about this Ron?
|
Sure thing.
What's John going to go to prison for, exactly? Allegedly writing a nasty letter? All evidence of which has been totally destroyed? Man, that's a strict law.
Or is it due to allegedly being emotionally abusive? Alleged by someone. Presumably. From that, someone else has alleged that possibly this might mean he's violent. It's not said who is actually alleging this, so I'll assume it's Brenda who milks the goats. Is Brenda's word law? Or is this just a load of panicky gossip parading as the word of law in the global conspiracy against evil men.
You see, there are holes in this exercise of dressing editorial up as fact that even a woman driver could reverse a truck through. It also chooses to ignore the fact that John's probably going to get the house and kids now. Assuming, of course, that he wants them, being the good man that he is. I'd put money on that one, seeing as there's a good chance Ms Zippo is going to do time.
It's rubbish, blackice. That's why I laughed at it.

Your thinking is quite shallow (rubbish).
John is an excuse (scapegoat) (reason for her actions) it is in the news, everywhere.
John is being deemed the man who abused this woman to crime.
John put up the house for the bond of 600,000. John has held the household and watched the kids. John has paid the bills seen to the daily duties of the house and kids. John at least with action loves his wife and kids.
You need to think more.

My error it should have read "excuse" not "investigated". The line has been edited.
Right from the onset she blamed a man in a mini van then her husband's letter made her do it. According to her family it was a love letter. The point is why bring her husband into it? What is all the talk about abuse? An excuse as the writter apply puts it. An all to common one these days...
Axe to grind? |
At first I thought you might have a point. Several of the reports describe the husband as a drunk and abusive. Was this true or is it just the friends of the woman making these claims.
But the last link is a story that quotes the guy's father who says his son is abusive and an alcoholic. The guy was also convicted of drunk driving.
Is this relevant? Yes. People want to know why a forestry worker started a fire. We try to look for causes. This is of particular interest when the person has so many supporters.
Is the husband responsible for the woman's actions or to blame? No.
Does the behaviour of the husband help explain the woman's actions? Maybe.
If the woman had an alcoholic mother, would the story be covered the same way? Yes.
And there you have the crux of the situation. This is not about blaming a man just because he's a man, this is about trying to someone else to blame.

Oh come on. Criminals routinely try to blame someone: the husband, the wife, the parents, the teachers, society, and even the victim (she was asking for it).

They are so what you are saying is in these cases the wife was blamed for the crime? Even thought the man did it? Where?
For instance in your first story quote: To protect Rose, Fred claimed responsibility for the murders himself | and
quote: As the case developed, Rose abandoned Fred to save herself. She tried to position herself as the victim of a murderous man, but she was not particularly convincing. Police worked continuously to tie her in to the crimes.
The bodies of Rena, Anna McFall and Charmaine were found as Fred continued to cooperate with the police. On the Mary Bastholm case, Fred decided to quit cooperating and her body was not found.
At their joint hearing, Fred attempted to console Rose, but she avoided his touch. She told the police he made her sick. The great partnership in crime was over. |
In fact this story fits what I am saying to a tee to free herself Rose "claimed" to be the victim of Fred.
I will not bother with the rest obviously you do not understand what is being said here.
