I couldn’t believe they needed to be taught this. I believe men are taught from the moment they are born to be aggressive, go after what you want and women happens to be one of those objects.

One thing I’ve learned — men respect power. They understand the meaning of someone having power over them. Once women start to obtain more and more positions of power, I bet the men will suddenly have an epiphany and begin to respect women as they should. Maybe then, they’ll see how valuable we are and how much they NEED us, especially in view of the shape the world is in now under their exclusive rule.

The fact that police are under reporting and minimizing sexual assault claims goes hand in hand with the way women are portrayed in the media, as you smartly demonstrate here.

I was horrified when years ago Michael Moore gave the media a pass when analyzing violence in America in his movie Bowling for Columbine. What an imbecile! Of course their is a correlation and I am glad that finally there is solid research to support what we already know.

It seems to me you could get some women to cut the corporate media cord because they don’t like supporting the degradation of women. Some would do it to save money. Some might be attracted to a campaign where you cut the cable and mail the payment you would have made to a charity. At any rate starting a campaign to cut cable is the quickest way for women to have impact on media and culture.

That has always been one of my pet peeves, the way we say judges, attorneys, cops, all just need more training so they can be made aware of the seriousness of sexual assault. No they don’t, what they need is deprogramming from all the media messages that have brainwashed them into believing that women are asking for it.

But we all subsidize Media misogyny evey time we pay our cable bill. In a free media market you would be able to choose only the TV channels you want and pay for only those. In the toxic media sewer we live in we are forced to apy for a predetermined load of channels which include some dedicated to misogynist views and some “women’s content” Channels that are stunning in their offensiveness.

Alas, there is only one form of communication which Corporate America (Media) can process and that is profits. So you speak to them by cutting your connection to cable or the satellite and watching only those programs which you enjoy via the internet which means you subsidize none of this other garbage. Another huge advantage is you save a good deal of time by not having to parentally control the unwanted sewage that is pumped into your home over your cable connection. If women did this you would see a change in society in months.
