No 'Men' Were Killed

I managed to get a clip last night from the BBC's Newsnight programme which demonstrates how the BBC persistently tries to avoid portraying 'men' as victims.

The clip lasts just one minute in a *WMV file. (If the video file does not open, just Right Click on the link, and select Save Target As.)

The context is the issue of innocent civilians being killed by American forces in Afghanistan. And the BBC reporter is summarising some of the major incidents about which the Afghans are complaining.

Listen to the statistics, and listen especially for the use of the words 'civilians', 'people', 'women' and 'children'. The word 'men' is not mentioned at all. It is very cleverly avoided - even though men clearly make up the vast majority of victims.

Translation - by a Swede:

"You fucking idiot man ruining our world without shame rapes, wages war, beats, disturbs
Understand that you cannot have my pussy or my tits when you're horny
I hate you, you fucking man
You think that you know everything about women and their lives
But you don't know anything so go away fall, im gonna shit on you
Now it's our turn
We have our vengeance
We're gonna show you
We're gonna use our chance
You took for yourself such a pathetic role
Oh, you have a cock, is it a good reason to force me to your needs and pleasure
I show what I can do, better than you even though im just a "fucked little girl"
You fucking idiot man
It's better for you to run now because here you see a woman who hates you so much that she's ready to rip you apart"

If You Love Me You'll Kill Him

If You Love Me You'll Kill Him - CBC News - 27th April 2007

A couple convicted of second-degree murder in the beating death of a teenager at a Surrey, B.C., skytrain station has been sentenced to life in prison.
Robert Alan Forslund, 28, will have to serve 17 years before being eligible for parole. He was caught on skytrain surveillance tapes beating 16-year-old Matthew Martins to death in July 2005.
Katherine Anne Quinn, 24, will have to serve 10 years before her parole eligibility. The second-degree murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence.
Justice Selwyn Romilly said although Quinn did not take part in the actual beating of the victim, she did encourage it.
Court was told the attack began when Quinn jumped Martins to steal his necklace. The jury heard how she gave Forslund the command to kill by saying, "If you love me, you'll kill him."
The boy was thrown into a Plexiglas wall, kicked, stomped in the head and had his throat cut with a beer bottle.
The courtroom was overflowing with family and friends of Martins. David Toner, Martins's father, said Quinn got off lightly.
"She was really the author of this whole thing. It started with her actions and so I think really it could've been a little heavier for her."
In court, Quinn's father spoke briefly, stating he believes his daughter is innocent. Quinn's lawyer, Jim Millar, has already said there will be an appeal of the conviction.
Sandra Martins-Toner, Martins's mother, had this message for him:
"All I can say to Mr. Millar, Quinn's lawyer, [is] we're waiting."
