Glenn Sacks on his recent DART campaign: "Father-bashing is so prevalent in the media today because there is little political cost to be paid for doing it. We launched the campaign in part because we wanted to show that there is a political cost to demeaning fathers, and in that regard we more than succeeded."

  1. Wow. I thought "sacks" was a verb, and this was a post about your husband and a tavern game.

    Was that Earl Grey, or Pink Floyd?

  3. Thanks for linking to this! I live in the Dallas area and was not surprised by the ads. I made a few phone calls myself, and am happy to see some results. Thanks again!

  4. Its a sad commentary on what a sick, misandrist society we live in when such ads are posted by the state on state-owned public transportation---

    1. The ad with the cute male child states that he WILL grow up to "beat" his wife. That is the definition of bigotry-- a baseless, pejorative generalization about ALL males based on characteristics of a tiny subset of males ( serious DV be quite rare and usually mutual,typically involving substance abuse)


    2. The ad with the cute female child states that she--inevitably-- will be killed by her husband. Such an occurence is astronomically rare. The message-- all men qua male are abusers and worse.

    3. Note the obvious sexism in the tiny print of both ads--the boy who witnessed DV as a child is said to be more likely to abuse his wife as an adult-- the girl who witnessed violence as a child is , strangely, not more likely to abuse her husband, but to be abused by him.
    The assumption is that all DV is committed by males.



    This is what feminism is now and has always been-- a virulent, immoral hate movement that no rational, informed, moral person can countenance.

  5. It's not feminism.

    It's the natural expression of a society dominated by single women who want the "Alpha" man and deride the "beta" guy who is labeled a wife-beater.

    Note the race and bearing of the boy so labeled. The enemy of single women is and has always been "Joe the Plumber" and this DART ad series targeting Joe-types is merely the latest expression of this.

    We live in a consumerist world. A consumerist world that is oriented mostly towards single women. It's natural that they hate average guys and would enthusiastically label them as wife-beaters.
