It has been a while since I heard anything really really f*cking cool, and Paul Elam brightened my day.
He wrote up a post about the following domestic violence posters:
Hate Speech
Hate Speech
Paul Elam:
"You put male children on posters that attack their self worth for the sake of your politics, I tell you to f*ck off and die."
I could not have put it better myself.
AGAIN:
"You put male children on posters that attack their self worth for the sake of your politics, I tell you to f*ck off and die."
HELL YES!
And that is exactly what posters like this do. In addition to being lopsided and suggesting that only males are capable of disrespecting the opposite sex (even though credible studies show otherwise - in fact, much otherwise) - they also attack young male's sense of self-worth. They also magnify the value of women as well - why are the young men only asked to respect women and not men as well?
I guess that respecting men is not part of the anti-domestic violence agenda. With clowns making posters like the ones above, it is no wonder that according to CDC statistics, women initiate more domestic violence than men.
Domestic Violence Hotline?
Did I see a toll-free number on one of those posters devaluing boys and young men!?
Time for some PHREAKING PHONE PHUN!
WOO HOO ... HOO HOO ... WOO HOO!!!
