The Search Continues.....

Man this weather out here in LA is insane. I’ve got buddies digging themselves out of the snow back east while out here in Southern California, people are calling in sick so they can spend the day in Huntington Beach or Laguna. Ah yes, how lovely indeed, and how do I decide to take advantage of these sunny weekdays? By staying indoors and sitting here cooped up, searching endlessly for new and exciting blogs and articles, all for your viewing pleasure of course! But, I suppose it’s the sacrifice one must make if he is to make a decent enough blog plus some rain should be coming in soon but I digress, onward with the blogs!
The first I came across was a blog called Don't Make Her Mad, where the writer takes an interesting look at the gender biases that exist in the legal system. Some examples that he uses include restraining orders, "Must Arrest" laws, and "Primary Aggressor" laws, where the male is usually taken into custody regardless of who began the domestic dispute. In The Rantings of A Young Man In A Feminized Society, the blogger "Youngbuck", tackles issues of Feminism in modern day America. What sparked my interest in his posts, was the fact that he, like myself, was a young 20 something year old male who had realized at a young age that something was not right between how we were raised and told to act around women and how they reacted to us when we did play the "nice guy" role. In Men's Right's Blog, blogger "Masculist Man" prides himself on not only being a pro-masculist and an anti-feminist, but also one who has debated with various men and women mostly and how he has revealed them to be phonies. His Misandry-DART style article raised an important issue on how men are being portrayed through advertising and even included an email and phone number so one could complain about the billboards. Anf finally, Mark Rothenal's Breaking the Science takes a look at the statistical evidence that shows how women aren't always the victims of domestic violence as many always assume by presenting various articles and studies released by the U.S Centers for Disease Control, as well as University Professors.
