Thread: Why do feminists only whine about media portrayal of women, when 69% of media portrayal of men is negative?

http://www.physorg.com/news83863660.html

"Dr Macnamara found that, by volume, 69 per cent of mass media reporting and commentary on men was unfavourable, compared with just 12 per cent favourable and 19 per cent neutral or balanced.

Some of the recurring themes in media content portrayed men as violent, sexually abusive, unable to be trusted with children, 'deadbeat dads', commitment phobic and in need of 're-construction'.

"Men were predominantly reported or portrayed in mass media as villains, aggressors, perverts and philanderers, with more than 75 per cent of all mass media representations of men and male identity showing men in on one of these four ways," Dr Macnamara says."

Pretty hard to see how feminism is about equality when they ignore and contribute to a significant issue in relation to men, then whine when they are affected by that issue in the slightest.

Why do they do it?
Other sources saying the same thing (seeing as feminists on here seem to think an ad hominem attack on the site providing the data constitutes an acceptable sole argument):

We can see plenty of the negative portrayals of men come directly from the ideologues of feminism.

Why are feminists so blatantly biased on the issue if they are about equality?

Maybe they figure it's our turn to suffer, OR they have the sexist belief that men always act like that.

The answer is simple...feminism is not, nor has it ever been about equality. Sure, there are some women who call themselves feminists who don't buy into this...but what they don't realize is that by calling themselves "feminists" they indirectly support this regardless of what they purport to believe.

yeah, and you do a good job putting a positive respectful male role model out there, right?
btw, they never said men aren't portrayed badly
perhaps you should be attacking the media---but oh wait! it's not that you reallyl care, you just like to bash women in general & feminists specifically
