This sentiment is surprisingly still common even within countries like the UK.
Earlier this week, the government changed some of the laws concerning spousal homicide. Namely, they removed the infamous "nagging defence" which essentially meant if your wife (and 9/10 it was used to justify the killing of a wife) had repeatedly annoyed you, your killing of her could result in a lesser sentence than murder would normally allow.
This defence has been totally removed, for wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, gay, straight, lesbian, polyamorous, monogamous etc. Its removal applies across the board.
So what have the press reported?
WOMEN CAN NOW LEGALLY MURDER THEIR HUSBANDS.
Seriously, a little move in the way of equality, and people are portraying Harriet Harman, the equality minister, as quite literally a castrating, man-hating Feminazi simply for getting rid of a stupid law that was most commonly used by violent male partners to justify their abuse.
QuoteSo attitudes like this are ceasing to surprise me whatsoever. Interesting, there is a claim that the War onBrown People With OilTerror has also helped to set back women's rights quite a lot, by increasingly portraying women as weak and helpless before the Rising Islamic Tide. Its an interesting theory, and explains the fetishization of women's rights in other countries by the right, but not in, you know, the USA or the UK.

the only reason bush was elected is because of the american publics refusal to vote for a third party..perhaps teh medias portrayal of who should be voted for helped as well... Wouldn't nader be good for the americans?
When Nader knew he couldn't get 5% (and thus matching funds for 2004), he should have withdrawn. He didn't, so he split the vote and let the GOP in...while talking shit about the Dems the whole time.
He did that shit on purpose. I hope he dies of anal prolapse.
Fuck him.
Troof. Agreed, especially on the prolapse. Unsafe At Any Speed? Good thing. Clean Water Action Project? Good thing. Consumer Project on Technology? Good thing. Handing the goddamn elections to the most paleolithic version of the Republican party ever to make Goldwater look like fucking St. Francis? Unmitigated self-promoting bullshit. He has shit on his own legacy.
THREE TIMES. I wonder what they have on him?
