Isn't it Interesting
Isn't it interesting that :
even though women represent only 0.01 % of all Australia's war dead - whenever we commemorate ANZAC day we are continually told we are callous sexist bastards if we do not mention the brave women who gave their lives for their country.
even though men represent 15 % of all long term victims of domestic violence,
we are continually told we a callous sexist bastards if we even hint that
men are also victims of domestic violence.
we ignore the fact that men commit 8 out of 10 suicides by concentrating
our compassion and resources on the 1 out of 6 people who are victims of
youth suicide.
we DO NOT ignore the fact that women represent 9 out of 10 victims
of rape by concentrating our compassion and resources on the 1 out of 6 people
who are victims of youth rape.
the Chief Justice of the Family Court (Justice Nicholoson) is outraged
that Prime Minister John Howard will not apologize to the children of the
"Stolen Generation".
the Chief Justice of the Family Court is responsible for ripping hundreds
of thousands of children away from their natural fathers. He does not even
acknowledge the incredible suffering he has inflicted on countless thousands
of Australian children by effectively denying them access to their natural
fathers.
even though it obvious to a cretinous moron that men's health is in a far
worse state than women's health, tens of millions are spent on women's
health centers, women only cancer screening programs, preventive health
measures that are specifically directed at women, and research on illnesses
that specifically affect women.
even though it obvious to a cretinous moron that men's health is in a far
worse state than women's health, virtually no money is spent on areas
of health that world specifically help men. What's more, any man who tries
to point out the incredible injustice of this discrepancy is labelled a
misogynist.
even though surveys show that, on average, women work 54 hours (30 hours
in the payed work force and 24 hours at home), and that, on average, men
work 54 hours (42 hours in the payed work force and 12 hours at home),
this is used to criticize men because they work 12 hours less than women
in the home.
even though surveys show that, on average, women work 54 hours (30 hours
in the payed work force and 24 hours at home), and that, on average, men
work 54 hours (42 hours in the payed work force and 12 hours at home),
noone even mentions, let alone criticizes women because they work 12 hours
less than men in the payed work force.
Have you ever wondered why people don't notice these interesting facts ?
