Misandronist: A person who hates men.

Perhaps I do not read enough left wing feminists because I’ve never had a need for a word that expressed a hatred of men.

Well, that changed today when I read Heather Mallick’s column on cbc.ca.

I can’t recall reading an article on a mainstream news site that was so full of ad hominem attacks, insults, and what I can only describe as hate.  All that was missing was some cursing.  Oh wait — it also had that too.  A small sampling:

It’s possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman…I know men have their secret meetings at which they pledge to do manly things, like being irresponsible with their semen…

In my opinion, this is insulting to not only Republicans but to every person with any kind of intellectual integrity.  The hatchet job article also goes on to say:

• Palin isn’t even a female
• Implies Palin is an Alaskan Hillbilly and white trash
• Palin looks like  a toned down porn actress
• The Palin’s are terrible at parenting

There is more, but I won’t repeat it here.

Even worse than the content of the article itself is that fact that since this is published by the CBC that these sentiments are, in effect, being paid for by the citizens of Canada.  It is truly disgraceful that the CBC would allow this to be published on their site.  I am all for free speech but this article would be more at home on someone’s left wing personal blog and is not the type of reporting that a serious news agency like the CBC should be supporting with Canadian’s tax dollars.
