Question by TGB: Why do feminists use bogus studies to promote statistics, but then dismiss a study conducted by Harvard?
On a different thread I provided a link to a Harvard study which suggests that women commit most of the domestic violence:

http://newscastmedia.com/domestic-violence.htm

This study was conducted by Harvard Medical School
http://newscastmedia.com/harvard_study.htm

Feminists dismissed this study as “bullshit”.

Why do feminists dismiss a study conducted by Harvard as “bullshit”, and then go on and promote bogus studies of their own that say such ridiculous things as 1/4 women will be raped?
@ Granny – No one spreads untruth more than feminists. Do you really believe the feminists when they say that 1/4 women will be raped? Also, which Christina Hoff Sommers books have you read?
@ Granny – Why do you call the MRM a hate group but not feminism? Feminism has spread misinformation for decades, and blamed ALL men for the actions of a few. (e.g. They say that men in general have privilege because a small percentage of men at the top of society earn most of the money)
@ Granny – Women hate men the the sake of hating men:

Question by aG: Why are Tobacco commercials banned but Alcohol commercials not?
I was wondering why Tobacco companies have very little ways of advertising. I don’t personally smoke cigarettes or drink so I don’t lean towards a specific drug in this battle. However, I don’t understand why alcohol commercials shove advertisements down our throats at a constant rate. You guys have all seen the advertising and how present it is. I won’t argue which drug(alcohol or tobacco) is worse than you but alcohol has caused a significant amount of issues in today’s society and so has Tobacco.

-Why is alcohol usage welcomed in today’s society? (2000’s)
-Why were cigarettes/Tobacco welcomed back in the 40’s – 60’s but no so much anymore?

“The abuse of alcohol is one of the most pervasive social problems affecting our society. Alcohol advertising glamorizes and encourages that abuse”.
