Well, the news is in: the man-hating district attorney from Durham, NC — Mike Nifong — has, at last, thrown in the towel on his wrongly pursued rape case against three lacrosse players from Duke University.
Nifong today dropped the rape charges against the three lacrosse players because his star witness, Crystal Gail Mangum — the stripper who goes unnamed in almost all news accounts, even though the names of the accused are constantly displayed — suddenly cannot remember if the alleged perpetrators raped her. Suddenly can’t remember? Are you serious?
Perhaps Mangum’s foggy memory haunts her because, prior to arriving at her Duke stripping gig, Mangum had sex with at least three different men — according to a DNA test, which surfaced last week and which Nifong illegally suppressed. This DNA test exonorates the three wrongly accused Duke students. Worse, Nifong never even interviewed Mangum until a few days ago. Imagine such legal imprudence from a district attorney, especially one prosecuting a world-famous case in which three men could be imprisoned.
In “Juris Contemptus: The Un-American Scourge,” I wrote about DA Nifong’s unethical behavior, in prosecuting his case before TV cameras, thereby violating the American Bar Association’s Rules of Conduct. He did this to win reelection, and he was successful.
I am not, in this piece, going to rehash or expand upon Nifong’s legal transgressions — I’ll leave that to the legal talking heads on cable news programs. Instead, I want to address something deeper and more pernicious: male misandry.
Mike Nifong is an example of a dangerous force in Western cultures: a man in a position of power who hates men, a male man-hater, a man who presumes all men guilty in entanglements with women, a man willing to sacrifice other men — because it is politically acceptable — to further his agenda. This is a serious, anti-family problem in our society. It’s one thing to see man-bashing from angry feminists; it’s quite another to experience it from men.
Let’s face it, the reason men have fewer reproductive (Roe v. Wade) and civil (VAWA) rights than women is that men — who comprise the majority of lawmakers, judges, governors, and presidents — write, interpret, and execute our laws. Why do men hate men so much?
In most homes, children are taught to worship mothers and take fathers for granted. This was true when fathers actually lived with their children. It’s now worse because, in at least 50% of homes, fathers don’t live with their children. What better illustrates the treatment of mothers vs. fathers than telephone calls? In any calendar year, the volume of paid long-distance calls is highest on Mothers’ Day. On the other hand, the volume of collect long-distance calls is highest on Fathers’ Day. What does that tell you?
Men are constantly vilified and portrayed as incompetent losers in TV commercials — especially during the Super Bowl, a man’s venue — and TV sitcoms. My Australian colleague, James Macnamara, based his PhD thesis and subsequent book on this destructive, misandric trend, showing that it exists in his native country as well as in the UK and the USA. Moreover, standup comedians, most of whom are men, routinely refer to men as unfaithful dogs, even though women equally cheat on their boyfriends and husbands.
During this month of Christmas shopping, I’ve seen TV commercial after TV commercial admonishing men to buy jewelry, clothing, and teddy bears for women. Yet, I have not seen ONE appeal to women to purchase anything for men. It’s as if men have but one purpose in life: supporting women.
When a female teacher rapes a male student, many men — including Geraldo Rivera — dismiss such an event as a right of passage. Through a sexual encounter with a female teacher, a young boy — who is a child — could contract an STD, become a father, or be falsely accused of rape. This would permanently destroy the boy’s life.
No matter. In Western cultures, males — whether boys, single men, or fathers — have no value. Men are largely to blame for this because they tolerate it. These eunuchs hail from man-hating homes and enter the world as man-hating, self-loathing adults, dedicated to worshipping and deferring to women. We see it in dating, in marriages, in the workplace, in movies, on TV, in elections, in print media, in family courts, and in criminal courts like DA Nifong’s.
Until men start challenging and overturning this widespread, inhumane misandry, they will be permanently relegated to the emasculating role of sperm donor/ATM — and they will deserve it.
