Turn on the evening news, and listen to a story about a "mysterious person" mass murdering a family in the middle of the night. I guarantee you almost all people watching it will immediately assume it was some sort of tall, dark, shady-looking man that did it.

That's because it almost always is. It's a statistical fact that men commit the vast majority of violent crimes.

True. You have a point there. But the vast majority of people (men and women) don't commit violent crimes. Out of over 300 million people in the U.S., about 1% are in jail. Even when people end up breaking the law, it's usually something non-threatening and non-violent like a speeding ticket. Those guys committing violent crimes are giving the other 99.9% of men a bad reputation since people assume the best of women and the worst of men.

Remember, women get the benefit of the doubt--men don't.

The U.S. media tends to sensationalize things to make things more interesting to get ratings. News media are rating whores. When the less than one percent of men commit violent crimes and are then reported by local, state, and national media, men all across the country are seen as potential criminals.

There have been studies done that have indeed shown that women get lighter sentences than men do for committing the same crimes.

Funny. I don't see feminazis lining up to fight for equality on that.

Let me make 10 Dollars more than a woman in my field, and they are shitting all over the place with anger.

We all know that feminism isn't about equal rights for all; it's about better rights for women at the expense of rights for men.
