[…] The Fourth Estate has found that the vast majority of people quoted in news coverage of the 2012 election are men. The media research group collected a sample of election-related news stories from print newspapers and TV broadcasts, finding that 13% of print sources were women (79% were men and 8% were organizations) and 16% of TV sources were women (81% were men and 3% were organizations).

When have women EVER dominated ANY public conversation about “mens’ issues” (what ever those are- like, oh no I get paid too much! lol)? Or ANY conversation, for that matter? Show me ONE instance of this happening, where men DON’T come in and shut them down and/or take over. Kind of like what you’re trying to do now, with your strawman arguments. Yes, yes, why don’t those “woman sociologists” (is that like “lady cop”?) just stick to only “womens’ issues”- so they can yet again be roundly ignored by men. /s

I mean, men are legislating what I can and cannot do with MY OWN BODY. MY VERY ORGANS. You have NO clue how terrifying that is- and you’ll never have to. Male privilege for you, hooray!

See, since women are oppressed and not given any real power due to their sex, because patriarchy- women don’t get taken seriously. We are accused of lying, “being hysterical”, etc. And that’s not even mentioning the rape, murder, and sex-selective abortion of girls and women that happens every DAY all over the world. Ever hear of the Burning Times? This has been happening to women for THOUSANDS of years.

So, yeah… nope.

Love the passive aggressive winky at the end- cute, and so typically, condescendingly male. ;-)

Funny, I think the same thing every time I see a woman sociologist comment on men’s issues.

More relevantly – what were the positions of the people being quoted? If they were politicians, the numbers seem to match up closely enough to the proportions of the legislature. If they were academics, they obviously weren’t sociologists ;-)

AND, the myth of male superiority is perpetuated, and the ENDLESS mass-mansplainations continue. It’s like these men think they know ALLL about womens’ issues- MORE THAN WOMEN DO! How narcissistic is that?!
