As an addendum to my earlier post, it would benefit young men immeasurably if we would start viewing women with the cynicism and mistrust they deserve. At the present time, American men are the everyday victims of a covert and exceedingly vicious gender war(just spend an hour in any feminist studies class if you need further proof) and it's well-nigh time we started to bring our real enemy into sharper focus.

This woman needs to be identified. For far too long, women who've made malicious and irresponsible allegations against men - the sort of allegations that destroy lives, quite frankly - have been able to hide behind their gender and alleged status as a "victim". If Kobe Bryant - who is innocent until proved guilty, by the way - is going to have his name splashed all over the front pages, then this woman should, too. Alas, we live today in a culture where women like Janice Min so monopolize the debate swirling around sexual assault that all accused men are hastily placed on public trial without due process and without appropriate protections in order that the usual feminist drivel can be promulgated (this phenomenon is especially apparent when we consider the plight of black men unjustly accused of wrongdoing by white women). As a young man concerned about social justice and about genuine racial and gender equality, I needn't tell you how much I worry about Kobe's precarious situation as a result of the racial dynamics involved; I also worry about Kobe because of the perfervid political correctness contaminating our court system at the present time. Frankly put,the underlying issue in this case is not sexual "misogyny"(although every time the Janice Min's the world don't get their own way its misogyny), or even about how men treat women more generally (as a brief aside, I find it appalling how unthinkingly the pathologically selfish and childish female ego is indulged in our culture - but I'll set aside that matter for another time) but rather it is about politically correct misanthropy and about an appalling eagerness by self-righteous feminazis to invidiously brand every public man tainted by some anonymous woman's "allegation". In our politically correct world, a woman can work her vile treachery under the cover of darkness; a young black man like Kobe, however, is publicly pilloried as a result of those vile machinations. For everyone's sake, let's hope this young black man receives the justice he deserves and that this young white female receives the help she needs.

Colin Montgomery pitches a fit, on the pitch.
