in most state’s laws, the definition of “domestic battery” IS — “an insulting or provocative act…”

NOTE — this does not require physical aggression, let alone physical contact, or even your presence….

An “intimidating glance” will qualify.

As will “systematically ignoring her needs.”

If you think I am making this up, Google your state’s Attorney General’s Office and follow the breadcrumbs of misandry to domestic violence laws …

In our present legal environment, a man need only be in a space availing communication with a female in order to be charged with DV.

Actually, he doesn’t even need physical proximity.

He can convict himself by sending two “unwanted” e-mails.

That now constitutes “stalking.”

I really wish I was making this up….

Research and read, gentlemen!

I’ve writing about this on other blogs all afternoon! Did you read some of the thousands of comments about the article in the AOL piece online yesterday?

NOT ONE mentioned the violence issue.

Imagine ole Brian slapping some woman over there at CBS? They’d be fainitng from Tampa to Seattle.

The comments from obvious female responents were exactly what you wrote, the reason she is doing poorly is because men don’t want a female newsanchor. So, men are the problem. Huh. And she stinks!

You da man, finally someone read how she repeatedly hit a male and it is washed over by every single newspaper and news program.

The mention of her referral to the actual stats on the phony “Superbowl Sunday” , a long kown and acknowledged fact as throwing the babay out with the bath water is another reason she should be tossed. The constant referral to the imbalance of pay between men and women, the coment to the woman who was left at the alter that she should consider castration as the resolution to her being dumped. The woman is a pig.

Thanx Dave!

Perhaps Ms. Couric needs her breasts removed?

If a man had said he that he would hit a women at work, then 911 most likely be called, and the police would charge the man with battery. I expect that the man would be fired from his job, while the woman would be supported, enduring the abuse of a man.

Yet today in America with equal rights for all at work, there is a different standard for criminal behavior for women compared to men.

Women are just as likely as men to engage in aggression

- Law professor Linda Kelly noted, “Leading sociologists have repeatedly found that men and women commit violence at similar rates.” [Source: Linda Kelly: Disabusing the definition of domestic abuse. Florida State University Law Review, Vol. 30, pages 791-855, 2003. Accessible at: http://www.law.fsu.edu/journals/lawreview/downloads/304/kelly.pdf ]

- Psychologist John Archer reviewed hundreds of studies and concluded, “Women were slightly more likely than men to use one or more act of physical aggression and to use such acts more frequently.” [Source: John Archer: Sex differences in aggression between heterosexual partners: A meta-analytic review. Psychological Bulletin, Vol. 126, No. 5, pages 651-680].

A. You hit like a girl.
B. Gimme some sugar baby.
B. You are beautiful when you are angry.
D. What positive solutions do you have Katie to female hostility towards men?

no women will ever be held accounteable for their actions unless we raise awareness..be bold and broach the conversation of mensrights with a friend!!

nothing will happen here. we must understand that. look for it and you will get a migraine. the guy is in a female dominated industry. if he complains, he will have to grab a lunch bucket and find a real job. not gonna happen i tell ya.

If the law won’t help, then private prosecutions need to happen. Clog the courts with civil suits.

But it would take a great lawyer to overcome the image of Katie as a kind of hysterical sock puppet slapping away at shadows and doing absolutely no damage….

Pretty much equivalent to her impact on broadcast journalism.

Katie is a fluffer. (And not so skilled at that, either…).

Look it up!

Women are simply more out of control and will slap and hit at will…

right now they face very little responseability for their actions and their violence against men has risen sharply…

men if she’s hitting you…talk with john dias @ dont make her mad …
