Men’s Reality in today’s society involves unnecessary fear. Men, more than women, must watch what they say and how they say it.

Only men are punished for not being politically correct. Women and minorities are not. Don Imus was fired for calling females “nappy-headed hoes,” but when Katie Couric suggested a guest castrate her ex fiancée and told a joke calling men stupid at a fund-raising dinner for a women’s college, she was applauded. Imus and Couric were both wrong, but only Imus lost his job and was forced to apologize. Jessie Jackson referred to New York City as “hymietown.”  Al Sharpton spearheaded the Tawana Brawley case in New York and relentlessly pursued what later turned out to be false accusations against a white police officer. Sharpton was successfully sued for slander and eventually paid a large judgment. Jackson or Sharpton has never apologized.

Only men must fear false accusations of rape by any woman he comes in contact with, including their wives. Marilyn French told society that all men were rapists, when she wrote The Woman’s Room. Others tell society that men “can’t” be raped. The Duke false-rape case is a prime example of men having to fear corrupt DA’s, corrupt police, and a system that violates their civil rights. Why was the accuser not punished?

Only men must fear prosecution for having sex with girls who lie about their ages. The man will be charged with rape and put on a national registry as a child molester. Society expects only men to know when someone is lying; moreover, those who don’t are severely punished. Why is the girl not punished for lying?

Only male teachers must fear being charged with rape if they have sex with students. Teacher Debra LaFave received no jail time despite having sex with her 14-year-old male student both at the school and at her home. She was 23 at the time. The judge said that she was “too pretty” to put in jail. Here is the most comprehensive account on the Internet of women predator’s 215 female teachers ranging in age from 19-60. When a female teacher has sex with her underage male student, she is never charged with statutory rape, only “sexual misconduct.” Why do male teachers face much more severe charges than female ones for the same crime?

Only men are charged with statutory rape for consensual sex when both female and male are underage. Why is the girl not charged?

Only men must fear child-pornography charges if girls send nude pictures of themselves to his cell phone or computer. Again, only men are arrested and prosecuted. When young men send nude pictures of themselves to girls, they are arrested and prosecuted for contributing to the delinquency of minors, and transmitting child pornography. Why do girls get away with it?

Only men must live in fear of false accusations of domestic violence. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is given one billion tax dollars every year to tell society that only men are guilty of domestic violence. Thousands of orders of protection are issued against men based only on the “feelings” that women claim to have.     

Only men get the death penalty if they murder their spouse. Clara Harris murdered her husband by running him over numerous times, with his daughter in the car begging her to stop. She was given the opportunity to go on Oprah and tell her side of the story. Oprah never accused Harris of domestic violence. Harris received a sentence of 20 years but also joint custody of her twin boys. Scott Peterson was given the death penalty for killing his wife and Oprah didn’t want to hear his side. Why didn’t Harris get the death penalty?

Why? Because society has been infected with the idea that all men are as bad as the very worst among them. This is the New Double Standard. admin@mensreality.com

Here is an example of the New Double Standard from the Buffalo news:

Sandra Geisel, a suburban Albany teacher who was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student in the press box at the school’s football stadium, pleaded guilty to third-degree rape of a 16-year-old, but she served only six months in jail.

Van Valkinburgh, the Town of Tonawanda resident and former Sacred Heart teacher, also pleaded guilty to a third-degree rape charge in a case also involving a 16-year-old victim. But he was given three to nine years in prison, one of the longest local sentences for statutory rape, DA Clark said.Why is this happening?
