With this rationale, men are felt to be more capable of bearing the emotional stress and financial burdens of divorce. If the father refuses to pay or conform with this obligation, he is looked upon as a moral degenerate by society and a criminal by the judicial system. A large portion of these stereotypic views of men have been generated by the women's movement. It is a daily occurrence in the news media for a feminist's group to attack a sexist attitude of society. They usually do this at the expense of presenting a biased picture of an archetypic man.
Silent crimes are horrendous acts that are done by males to women and children.
These acts are so hideous that the victims prefer not to speak of them. This silence prevents us from knowing the true significance of this problem, but feminist groups would have us believe that every male is capable of such behavior and that it is indeed probable. On a recent radio show, a feminist stated that up to fifty percent of wives are battered, but prefer to be silent victims. The women's leader went on to report on another silent crime, child abuse. She stated that one in five girls and one in ten boys are sexually molested ninety percent of the time by men.
