" The dynamics of the husband-wife relationship are pretty much similar to those of an intern-Vice President relationship. The husband gets the perks of an intern and has to bear the responsibilities of a Vice-President while the wife has to accomplish the responsibilities of an intern in lieu of a Vice-President's Salary. "
This is an old issue, just youtubed it now to compare and expose this along with Gillette's recent WALS campaign, we need to catalogue all such media productions where misandry is the unique selling proposition(USP)!.
Roadies: "Fun" while boys' get 'ball busted'?
"The fun really begins at the Immunity Task when the boys put their future generations at stake during the Ball Bursting quiz ;). Here, the girls get tested on their Hindi vocabulary - one mistake and the guys get it between their legs. " ........................
Thus goes the description for a Roadies(a show on MTV India) episode in which young boys get whacked on their scrotum with a pole!, as girls answer a quiz which supposedly tests their Hindi(National language) proficiency - ... television had touched a new low, an abysmal low just in the pursuit of TRPs, advocating misandry in the process.'
For cynics.. a simple question, would anyone have dared to do the same thing/equivalent with girls, if no, why not?... hope at least now cynics would have realised why such acts are a manifestation of Misandry.
There’s been a sharp increase in the number of men who are the victims of domestic abuse. But support groups say men often feel ashamed or embarrassed to get help. Do you know anyone who's been affected by domestic violence?
Research found 3 in 10 women in England and Wales have experienced domestic abuse. For men that figure is 2 in 10.
"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests. Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did..."

(and his children)
"At trial, Mr. Filler objected to several instances in which prosecutorial misconduct or the Court's evidentiary rulings deprived him of due process and a fair trial. It is respectfully asserted that the violations, individually and collectively, are so pervasive and significant as to have violated his constitutional rights."
As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"
Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.
As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc.by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.
And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.
To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
