Mencken mentioned the sex-trafficking trade several times in “In Defense of Women” (http://www.ibiblio.org/eldritch/hlm/defense.htm), written eighty-five years ago:

“In such bilge lie the springs of many of the most vexatious delusions of the world, and of some of its loudest farce no less. It is thus that fatuous old maids are led to look under their beds for fabulous ravishers, and to cry out that they have been stabbed with hypodermic needles in cinema theatres, and to watch furtively for white slavers in railroad stations. It is thus, indeed, that the whole white-slave mountebankery has been launched, with its gaudy fictions and preposterous alarms. And it is thus, more importantly, that whole regiments of neurotic wives have been convinced…” (#18)

“Setting aside the vast herd which shows no definable character at all, it seems to me that the minority distinguished by what is commonly regarded as an excess of sin is very much more admirable than the minority distinguished by an excess of virtue. My experience of the world has taught me that the average wine-bibber is a far better fellow than the average prohibitionist, and that the average rogue is better company than the average poor drudge, and that the worst white-slave trader of my acquaintance is a decenter man than the best vice crusader.” (#31)

“THE TRUTH IS that the picture of male carnality that such women conjure up belongs almost wholly to fable, as I have already observed in dealing with the sophistries of Dr. Eliza Burt Gamble, a paralogist on a somewhat higher plane. As they depict him in their fevered treatises on illegitimacy, white-slave trading and ophthalmia neonatorum the average male adult of the Christian and cultured countries leads a life of gaudy lubricity, rolling magnificently from one liaison to another, and with an almost endless queue of ruined milliners, dancers, charwomen, parlour-maids and waitresses behind him, all dying of poison and despair. The life of man, as these furiously envious ones see it, is the life of a leading actor in a boulevard revue.” (#35)

“…all the prevailing gabble about white slave jails and kidnappers comes from pious rogues who make a living by feeding such nonsense to the credulous.” (#43)

Fourthwire stated, “I hadn’t realized that the channel was being used to promote misandry, in cooperation with NOW!”

Lifetime TV is a powerful political machine that uses feminist victim themes to fire up their base supporters, a very successful strategy. In addition to the actual TV programming they host a discussion forum and also conduct surveys and so- called polls regarding the particular themes.

In October 2005 Lifetime TV presented “Human Trafficking” to aid in getting bi-partisan support for the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act.

This law allows the US government to interfere with the Universal right of an American citizen to say “hello” to a lady in a foreign country with US government requiring background checks for matchmaking clients before they can communicate by e mail, fax, telephone.

The Human Trafficking series created a hysteria that matchmaking organizations were correlated with human trafficking despite the fact that there is no such correlation. A poll taken among its feminist viewers found that 55% believe that trafficking is a major problem in the USA.

They used this poll to enrage politicans to get the International Marriage Broker law passed with Lifetime TV suggesting matchmaking organizations were involved in trafficking. (There is no such correlation)

Please be aware that Lifetime is nothing more than legalized misandry. This is the type of propaganda that allow the (radical) feminists to expand the definition of criminal activities to include “Taking the car keys away” from the wife, shouting, and now writing a love letter to a woman in a foreign country is a crime. Its just part of the ever lengthening and more insane (minor) transgressions that the feminists have used to get laws passed to take away your basic human and constitutional rights.

Incidentally, I noted your use of the term “social violence” with respect to the foul works of misandry by radical feminists through Lifetime Movie Channel.

I realize of course that you may not have actually coined that term, but “social violence” seems to fit radical feminists’ misandry every bit as eloquently as your term “reproductive rape” (which I use in my own writing, since it describes individual women’s selfish and self-centered use of superior reproductive rights).

While I rail at feminists, it’s America’s women who almost always happily accept NOW’s agenda, and the pork (privileges and entitlements) that their misandry provides for women.

And you’re spot-on with respect to the overwhelmingly female audience magnitude that allow themselves to be led around by the nose by divas such as Oprah, the characters behind Lifetime and Co.

Whenever I learn from a woman that she’s a regular viewer of such daytime TV programming, I invariably dismiss that individual from having any significant intelligence…….. or consequence with respect to my own life.

And finally, you are REALLY spot-on about the Imus incident being a symptom of an overly feminized society.

And it’s not inconceivable that one day it will be illegal to “hurt another person’s feelings” since political correctness and “feelings” seem to trump logic, fairness, and justice in America.

Before the rise of feminism, women’s feelings were not allowed to trump the more-or-less logical or rational entities from which our society was constructed: our laws, our families, our educational systems, our foreign policy.

I’m fairly certain that Elder George would have an opinion on that particular point.

Also,

“LMN must start planting seeds for personal growth and happiness in women, and stop planting dynamite in their heads.”

It is due to the dynamite planted in their heads that makes the average women just as much to blame for the war on men and fathers (and not just the feminists as I’ve said over and over). They must be held accountable as much as the feminists. They are the Implementers of the agenda of the Radical Feminist Strategists such as N.O.W..

It is also due to the fact that far too many women are susceptible to, and indeed, allow their heads to be planted with dynamite that causes me to question the intelligence of many women. The View, Oprah, or Lifetime, have regular viewers in the 10s of millions. These huge numbers justify my question.

The Imus incident is a symptom of an overly feminised society. Perhaps one day it will be illegal to hurt another persons feelings. We are halfway there with the power that the VAWA gives all women over all men.

Not being much of a watcher of women-oriented cable TV channels, I had assumed that the programming featured melodramatic “bubble-gum” (love stories, chick flicks, etc.)

I hadn’t realized that the channel was being used to promote misandry, in cooperation with NOW!
