But that is precisely the posture the feminist extremists take with regard to men, dismissing any and all extenuating circumstances. In the Simpson case, for example, some have suggested he may have been provoked. But no one has that right. Whether applying double standards or opportunistically sensationalizing the violence a very few men do, ultimately the pop feminists discredit themselves and, by association the good causes they purport to champion. Better to tell the truth.
Truth is, women and men created and inherited our society together.
Regardless of our sex, we all have an equal capacity for love and hate, good and evil, and the ability to harm or to help. No one is to blame for this, but we do share equal responsibility for creating a sane society. Lying about men won't make that happen. Only the truth will help. On the other hand, even the best-intentioned 'noble lie' ultimately discredits the finest of causes.
