Changed line(s) 9 from:

*It\'s unfair to men who lose custody of their children, but it also speaks of an underlying stereotype that can, and does, deeply hurt women.

to:

The problem is mindset. People shoehorn reality into their belief systems regarding gender; they want to see women as victims and men as invulnerable and so they do. They see female oppression while turning a blind eye to the problems men face.

Changed line(s) 11 from:

It takes a real gender conservative to overlook the victimization of one gender to focus on the other in this instance. Men are loosing their children; women are... what?

to:

Feminism casts women as the biggest losers in our society: I suppose it\\\'s just a co-incidence that being weak and vulnerable is also the traditional role of women.

Changed line(s) 13 from:

* Men are portrayed by the media negatively too, but by and large their roles, even when negative, come with a lot more freedom than what female characters are given.

to:

By simple extension, feminism casts men as powerful: again I suppose it\\\'s just a co-incidence that being powerful and strong is also the traditional role of men.

Men\\\'s roles have exactly one degree of freedom. Hero or zero.

What can I say? People really cling to their traditional gender notion that strong men need to save weak women and create [[RuleAbidingRebel endless variations on the same exact theme.]]
