Men Dominate Discussion Of Women's Issues In Media: Study. A recent study brings grim news for people hoping to see women more equally represented in the media. 4th Estate, a group that makes infographics about trends in the media, found that men overwhelmingly outnumber women when it comes to who is quoted in the press about the 2012 election campaign — even about issues that primarily affect women. 4th Estate looked at sources ranging from print to radio to television between January 2011 and May 2012, and the results are startling.
When it comes to abortion, men were quoted 81 percent of the time. Women were quoted just 12 percent of the time. Birth control? Overall, the study found staggering imbalances in who news organizations turn to for expertise on the election. Magazine Ads Shape Men's Attitudes About Masculinity, Study Finds. By: David Mielach, BusinessNewsDaily Staff Writer Published: 03/04/2013 06:34 AM EST on BusinessNewsDaily Magazine advertisements can do a lot more than sell products.
New research has found that ads geared toward men can also reinforce views of hypermasculinity in men of all ages. Hypermasculinity is described as a description of men that weaves together toughness, violence, dangerousness and callous attitudes toward women and sex. Those attitudes were found to be common in the advertisements of most magazines. In fact, lead author Megan Vokey of the University of Manitoba and her co-authors examined eight magazines that targeted men from different demographics, particularly looking at men of different ages, levels of education and income. Marlo Thomas: Guys Who Get It: The Men of the Women's Movement. Here's a riddle: A trucker is sitting in a bar next to a feminist.
They've both had a lot to drink and they're arguing. I Am The Blogger Who Allegedly “Complicated” The Steubenville Gang Rape Case. The Steubenville rape case has come to an end and the verdict has been heard. Two Ohio high school football players were found guilty of raping a drunk 16-year-old girl. On Sunday, Judge Thomas Lipps ruled that Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, digitally penetrated the West Virginia teenager known only as "Jane Doe. " Their punishment? Richmond will be held at a juvenile detention facility for at least a year and Mays for at least two years. Both are required to register as juvenile sex offenders, and the juvenile system can hold them until they are 21 years old. I Am Not Your Wife, Sister or Daughter. I Am A Person. I don’t have to tell you that Steubenville is all over the news.
I don’t have to tell you that it’s a fucking joke that Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond, the two teenagers convicted of raping a sixteen year old girl, were only sentenced to a combined three years in juvenile prison. Each will serve a year for the rape itself; Mays will serve an additional year for “illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.” I probably don’t even have to tell you that the media treatment of this trial has been a perfect, if utterly sickening, example of rape culture, with its focus on how difficult and painful this event has been for the rapists who raped a sixteen year old girl then bragged about it on social media. And I almost certainly don’t have to tell you that the world is full of seemingly nice, normal people who want to go to bat for the convicted rapists. Single Dad Laughing by Dan Pearce.

The Good Men Project has been getting on my nerves for the last fortnight or so, and I’ve struggled to really put together some coherent thoughts about it. But there’s a couple of blog posts by co-founder Tom Matlack that I just have to take issue with. He first wrote “The Feminist I Used To Know“, and then “In The Beginning, It Was About Storytelling“. I’ll start with the first. Not only is the title insulting, but the standfirst begins: The Good Men Project started with the goal of empathy.
