    Is the way that the media and official bodies allow men to be slagged off, stereotyped and accused of things whilst pretending that women are saints.

    A few examples.

    Maddie McCann. Her murd.., er her mum sorry, was on the radio saying that if anyone knew what had happened to her then please come forward 'it doesn't matter if it's your son or your brother'. I'm sorry? Son or brother? So not possible that it is daughter or sister then? Nope it MUST have been a bloke who took her, is that what you're saying?

    Rape. Radio Sheffield reporting it saying that 'mens attitude towards women needs to change if people think rape is acceptable'. Sorry but men are raped too and women CAN be rapists. Not only did the media make these frankly disgusting generalisations but so did a rape charity on the same program. When some idiots blamed the victim (on twitter and forums) the charity stated that male attitude to victims of rape was disgusting and women who are raped deserve better. So again men cannot be raped? And i've heard WOMEN accuse Ched Evans' victim of being a '****' yet the charity turns a blind eye to this because they aren't men.

    Social services. Again on the radio I heard a government official claiming that MEN who start going out with single parent females need to be vetted by the social services in case they cause harm to the child. So women who start going out with single parent males can't cause harm then?

    Could you imagine the uproar if this was the other way round and women were labelled as monsters?

    Agreed. I've always wondered how murderers, rapists or paedophiles form groups or bonds. What kind of conversations do they have down the pub?

    'hey Chris do you fancy little girls or is it just me?'
    '**** me Tommy I thought you'd never ask. I've always had a thing for them. Wanna go find one?'
    'aye ok'

    Genuinely never understood how that happens. Same with people who let their partner's do things. Do they just agree to it? Bizarre.

    I do however feel that it does happen the other way too and it is the woman who is the starter of things and that if new men in relationships are being vetted then new women must be too.

    F.ck me blind.

    1. It's called statistics, what proportion of rape victims are men? And of that, what proportion are men raped by a woman?
    2. Your line about Maddie McCann's mum is bang out of order.
    3. Statistics - how many women enter a family with a single male parent and are found to abuse the children?

    Not claiming to be an expert but I bet the vast majority in both cases.

    There is a difference between majority and all. According to the report i've just read one in 33 males have been the victim of rape or attempted rape yet the charity was speaking as if it only happens to women. How many male victims listening to that report would be made to feel like what happened to them doesn't count or that they shouldn't report it? In my opinion the charity's, media and other organisations should be going out of their way to make sure everybody knows it happens to men too and not pretending that it is only women.

    I apologise for my comment about Maddie's mum. While I stand by my feelings that her and her husband are largely to blame for what happened and while I have very strong suspicions that they are guiltier than they are letting on they have never been found guilty in a court of law and as such I shouldn't accuse them flat out.

    Keep an eye out for a programme on Crime & Investigation channel called The Wolf Pack it's about a paedophile ring. Sickening but informative. You may know some of the names, one was killed in prison hope the sick **** suffered

    Why wouldn't it be? In the past this board has been used to discuss everything from rape to murder, paedophiles, racists, thieves, religion, war. You name it and it's been discussed on here. The world has a lot of bad in it but why would people ignore that?

    Just seen this thread and whilst you are on statistics I dont have figures but I will bet there are a huge prcentage of relationships where a male joins a single mum and doesnt abuse the children.

    and it wouldnt surprise me if there were more men that abuse children of single mums than the other way round as there are a lot more single mums than single dads.

    Supertykes orignial point is valid though (Not the Maddie McCann one though) - it seems OK to suggest discrimination against men where a small minority are guilty of crime but were you to make the same suggestion about another group - eg Women or worse still an ethnic group the reaction would be completely different.

    I think this is a wholly ridiculous post upon which to make a stand against female sexist bias.

    I think the pathetic slur against the McCanns indicates the mindset of the poster. But let that go.

    Women can be rapists. As a male juggling with the hypothetics, I suppose this is possible.


    The mechanics of it however I struggle with.

    Can someone explain how the process err.....develops?

    Are we assuming that the man doesn't want sex but can't prevent his own arousal?

    Or does it get strapped to summat?

    Cos if I don't fancy the female, then there's nowt to complete the rape process.

    And btw I've checked years ago with all my mates, and they would not have been emotionally scarred for life by being taken round the back of the PE Hall and thereafter deflowered by the robust teacher, had they been 14-18 years of age or whatever. More likely they'd have had their education and kudos enhanced.

    So rape is not the best arena with which to pick a fight in the admittedly more female friendly air that we sniff.

    Any female rapists out there, don't further struggle with the "consent" principle.

    Just forward a photo
