A Summary of Suggested Investigations the Post Should Consider About the Abuse of Men and Boys
Why doesn't the Post perform studies about the female abuse of men and boys similar to its "Abused by the badge" investigation?
The Washington Post has a long, troubling, and provable history of feminism-inspired gender bias.
This bias is provable by its imbalanced coverage of domestic violence1 and made undeniable by its 2018 publication of the op-ed Why can't we hate men?, where the paper provided a platform for a radical feminist to broadcast to the world a Nazi-like hatred for men.
This bias is self-evident: for decades the Post has published untold thousands of articles that describe and document male malfeasance and misbehavior, all but completely ignoring equally repugnant female misbehavior.
A recent example is a Post series begun in June 2024, Abused by the badge, that justifiably documents widespread sexual abuse of minors by many of the nation’s police officers, while unconscionably ignoring equivalent stories about the abuse of men and boys. For example, other than a rare article from time to time, the Post has completely missed a major story about the thousands of teachers who have abused and raped their underage male students.
I've sent letters to columnists who have written articles under the "Abused by the badge" series, proposing similar investigations that the Post should consider to remedy this imbalance. This post summarizes these suggested investigations.
1. Abused by Their Teachers: The Sexual Abuse of Boys
Over the past two decades, hundreds of female teachers in the United States have sexually abused and even raped male students while officials at every level of the education system have failed to protect these boys, punish abusers and prevent additional crimes.
Schools and education departments have enabled these female predators by botching background checks, ignoring red flags and mishandling investigations. Accused teachers have used their understanding of a gender double standard to stall cases, get charges lowered or evade convictions. Prosecutors have given generous plea deals to teachers who admitted to sexually abusing and raping minors, some as young as 10 years old. Judges usually allow convicted teachers to have reduced sentences or avoid prison time altogether.
Recommended sources for your investigation:
Revisit two widely publicized cases of teachers who raped their students:
Mary Kay Letourneau, who raped a 12-year-old student, became pregnant, and after three months in jail was again found having sex with the same boy.
Debra Lafave, who raped a 14-year-old student. To avoid prison, she plea bargained to serving three years of house arrest, seven years of probation, and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
Information about hundreds of other teachers who raped their minor students is readily available online. Just a few include:
Finally, you may wish to read my post Female Sexual Predators that describes a side to female sexual behavior that is at least as repugnant as that of men.
2. Abused by the Washington Post: Male Victims of Domestic Violence
For decades the Post has published thousands of sad articles about women beaten by their husbands or boyfriends, ignoring male victims despite a fact long suppressed by feminists: women are at least as violent as their partners.
Recommended sources for your investigation:

3. Abused by Females: Boys and Sons Sexually Assaulted by Women and Mothers
For decades the Post has published thousands of articles about women and girls who are sexually abused by males, all but completely ignoring men and boys who are likewise sexually abused by females, including boys who are abused by their own mothers.
Recommended sources for your investigation:
You could start by reading the book, When She Was Bad — Violent Women and the Myth of Innocence, to get a completely new perspective on female misbehavior and criminality
Visit the Female Sex Offenders — Female Sexual Predators Awareness page of the Canadian Children’s Rights Council web site, that reports 86% of the victims of female sexual predators aren’t believed, so the crimes go unreported and usually don’t get prosecuted
Visit New research shedding light on sex abuse committed by mothers against their sons, that reports on an Australian study that an estimated 4,800 Australian males had been sexually abused by their mother or step-mother before the age of 15. As one (female) sex therapist said in the article, “Everybody wants to put their mother on a pedestal. Nobody wants to think that their mother did something that is so horrible.”
Visit my post, Female Sexual Predators, which describes how women can also be sexual predators, every bit as vile and reprehensible as their male counterparts.

4. Abused by Chivalry: The Gender Empathy Gap
In the past five decades, Washington Post columnists have written countless articles that woefully describe how women are oppressed, how hard their lives are, and how unfairly they’ve been treated by an “uncaring, sexist, patriarchy-controlled society”.
For example, in just the past few years, the Post has published the following articles:
In 2021 Janay Kingsberry wrote an article about a Gallup poll showing that U.S. women are dissatisfied with how they’re treated, ignoring that the poll only asked about the “treatment of women in society”, thus completely overlooking how men are treated. (See my letter to Kingsberry.)
In 2023 Donna St. George wrote an article about how teen girls are “engulfed in a growing wave of violence and trauma”, but mostly ignoring the often greater suffering of boys (e.g. much higher rates of suicide) or that boys’ hardships are largely ignored by articles and columnists like Ms. St. George. (See my letter to her.)
This past April Karen Attiah wrote an article, The tragedy and promise of #BringBackOurGirls, marking the 10th anniversary of the horrible kidnapping of nearly 300 schoolgirls by Boko Haram terrorists, completely silent about an even worse atrocity that befell Nigerian boys only months before, when 60 boys were burned alive by the same terrorists. (See my letter to Attiah.)
The rampant publication of untold thousands of similar gender-biased articles is compelling evidence of something called the gender empathy gap.
Like most Americans, you all have likely never heard of it. This empathy gap is “… the striking and disturbing indifference of our culture to the suffering of men and boys in stark contrast to our evident concern for the suffering of girls and women.” [From a video clip of anti-feminist Janice Fiamengo talking about the empathy gap]
Recommended sources for your investigation:
The book The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect provides a comprehensive analysis, with supporting evidence that proves how “…men and boys are extensively disadvantaged across many areas of life, including in education, healthcare, genital integrity, criminal justice, domestic abuse, working hours, taxation, pensions, paternity, homelessness, suicide, sexual offences [British spelling], and access to their own children after parental separation.”2
The book The Privileged Sex, which makes a solid, convincing case that contrary to the feminist-dictated dogma that women are “oppressed”, they are instead in many, many ways privileged:
“Judged by almost any criterion, women are, and always have been, the privileged sex. … As children they are treated more gently and receive more protection. As students they have long been excused, or excused themselves, from whatever subjects were considered hardest. As adults they are under less pressure to compete and perform. As workers they do rather less than half of humanity’s productive labor. As economic beings they are often in the enviable position of being able to consume without having to produce. As criminals and litigants they are treated much more leniently both by the law and the courts.”
5. Abused by Feminism: Marriage, Fathers and Families
How many Post readers know that one of feminists’ goals is the destruction of family and marriage, and the removal of fathers from both? How do I know? They’ve often said so.
Although it’s not unusual for the Post to acknowledge the importance of marriage and fathers (columnist Colbert I. King has often written about the importance of both), the paper is often blind to its own gender bias against fathers. An example can be found in a 2023 article by columnist Alyssa Rosenberg, This Father’s Day, stop treating dads as dopes, deadbeats or icebergs.
Although the title seems to acknowledge that dads have long been unfairly maligned, a more thorough reading of Rosenberg’s article reveals that it instead surreptitiously advances selfish, one-sided feminist objectives under the deceitful guise of “helping fathers”. See if you don’t agree.

6. Abused by American Women: Sexual Assault and #MeToo
“[#MeToo] has morphed from a movement for the expression of legitimate complaints by women about the sexual misbehavior of some men into a two-faced juggernaut that allows any man to be accused, tried, and sentenced in the court of public opinion, hounded out of his job, and made a social pariah without a shred of due process, often by anonymous accusers. And the movement fails to recognize women’s own corresponding bad sexual behavior or of the female contribution to men’s sexual misconduct.” — Stephen Bond, #MeToo, Thy Name is Hypocrisy
With only a very few exceptions, the Post has generally supported #MeToo, all but completely ignoring the movement’s dark underbelly.
Recommended sources for your investigation:
To begin, I heartily recommend revisiting two horrendous cases of males falsely accused of rape, the Duke Lacrosse Rape and UVA’s A Rape on Campus hoaxes.
Read an excellent Medium article, #Metoo, I’ll believe all women, except when they lie, that discusses #MeToo and “believe all women” in light of the Heard/Depp defamation trial.
For examples of the Post’s gender bias about sexual assault and #MeToo read some of my letters to Post columnists.
7. Abused by the Federal Government: Young Men and Title IX
The federal government has, since at least 2011, been abusing the civil rights of young men at American colleges and universities.
Briefly, Title IX is the primary federal law intended to prohibit sex discrimination in all American schools, from kindergarten through graduate school. In April 2011 the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR), under the presumed authority of Title IX, issued a “Dear Colleague Letter” to America’s colleges and universities. This letter directed these schools to institute draconian changes to the way sexual assault accusations were to be handled.
Although the Post has at least once feebly admitted that the new OCR-mandated Title IX regulations “…in some cases denied due process to those accused of sexual assault”, the paper has mostly been silent about this obvious abuse of men’s civil rights at America’s universities.2
Recommended sources for your investigation:
Title IX for All works to help students wrongly accused of Title IX violations. It maintains databases on Title IX Lawsuits, Regulations, Investigations, and Attorneys.
Families Advocating for Campus Equality (FACE), founded by three mothers of sons wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct, FACE has assisted thousands of accused male students and provides confidential support for victims of false allegations.
Twisting Title IX, documents the outrageous abuses done in the name of “protecting women”. Pay particular attention to the chapter titled “OCR’S Unlawful Assault on Due Process and Fair Procedures”.
The Campus Rape Frenzy — The Attack on Due Process at America’s Universities describes the result of the Title IX policy changes for handling sexual abuse charges: “… the federal government, joined by virtually all colleges and universities, has mounted a systematic attack on bedrock American principles including the presumption of innocence, access to exculpatory evidence, the right to cross-examine one’s accuser, and due process.”
8. Abused by the Police: How Feminism Forces Police to Enforce Unfair DV Laws
Despite hundreds of studies that show that women commit at least as much, if not more, domestic violence as men,3 feminists have over the past 60 years successfully managed to pervert justice by introducing unfair policies on how police handle complaints of domestic violence, including, for example, mandatory arrest rules usually where “the physically larger person” is to be arrested.
The result is that there are different laws for the two genders. One officer aptly summarized the reality:
“When I was a policeman, we attended many domestic violence calls. Often 5-6 per night shift. What I saw was, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it was the female who would initiate the violence. Usually by throwing things. The man would respond and, being bigger and stronger, inflict the greater damage. Then, he would get arrested. But when we went to pub crawls, the first question was always, ‘Who threw the first punch?’ That’s who should get locked up. I could never understand the two different policies.”

Finally, read about a Restoring the Presumption of Innocence Conference, held in Australia this past August, that exposes the anti-male prejudice and unequal treatment by the courts and the criminal law system:
The time is right. Equality before the law no longer exists in Australia. The presumption of innocence has been tossed aside – totally discarded by our biased media and undermined by legislative tampering with basic principles of justice.
For decades our justice system has been tilted to favour “victims”, with the result that men and women are treated very differently – by police, the Family Court, judges and juries in the criminal law system.
But gradually the rot in the system is being exposed. Right now, 400 current sexual assault cases are being audited by NSW public prosecutors to determine whether, as six judges have claimed, such cases are being pushed through to trial with insufficient evidence.
We are seizing the moment, and bringing together real experts to expose what is going on here. And to talk about what’s needed to achieve a fair system.
9. Abused by Female Sexual Predators: Paternity and Other Sexual Fraud Perpetrated by Females
Most people probably don’t know what paternity fraud is. Here’s the definition from Wikipedia:
“Paternity fraud, also known as misattributed paternity or paternal discrepancy, is when a man is incorrectly identified to be the biological father of a child. The underlying assumption of paternity fraud is that the mother deliberately misidentified the biological father. [emphasis added]”
Recommended sources for your investigation:
Women Against Paternity Fraud: in case you think paternity fraud is only a men’s issue, this site should set you straight: “Paternity Fraud has devastating effects on (not only men), but the children and women in their lives as well, including; spouses, girlfriends, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and other relatives. Women who were lied to about the identity of their father are also paternity fraud victims. People tend to think of paternity fraud as just a men’s issue but our members are both women and men negatively affected by this issue.”
Paternity Fraud Activist Carnell Smith: this victim of paternity fraud fought his case and won, has since been advocating on behalf of other victims, and has written model law and consulted on legislation in more than 10 states.
Citizens Against Paternity Fraud: grass roots advocacy, legislative lobbying, pro se support, and DNA paternity testing resources for men and women affected by paternity fraud. “If the genes don’t fit, you must acquit.”
The Feminist Movement Is Responsible for Paternity Fraud: As should surprise no one, feminists lie, obfuscate, or actively work to prevent legislation that addresses the problem. For example, the National Organization for Women,
“… pressured [California] Governor Gray Davis to veto the ‘Paternity Justice Act’ which would have helped curb the thousands of paternity fraud cases and protected innocent men from being victims of psychopathic women.”
The Innocent Third Party, Victims of Paternity Fraud: According to this 2006 study, the American Associations of Blood Banks found that close to 28% of paternity tests in California excluded the man as being the biological father. And this number doesn’t include cases where the father hasn’t challenged paternity, most likely because he’s completely unaware of the deception!
10. Boys Abused by Female Staffers at Detention Facilities
Although if asked, most people would say that the vast majority of sexual abuse of boys in prisons and other detention facilities is caused by men, the exact opposite is true. One study reported that approximately 95% of those reporting abuse were victimized by female staff!
Recommended sources for your investigation:
Boys in Custody and the Women Who Abuse Them: “The nation’s system of juvenile justice has long been troubled. But recent studies have revealed a surprising new menace: female staffers at detention facilities sexually abusing the male youngsters in their care.”
Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2008-09: “Approximately 95% of all youth reporting staff sexual misconduct said they had been victimized by female staff. In 2008,42% of staff in state juvenile facilities were female.”
Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2012 (PDF): “Among the estimated 1,390 youth who reported victimization by staff, 89.1% were males reporting sexual activity with female staff…”
This observation was confirmed by a February 2023 report by The Coalition to End Domestic Violence that described a 10-Year Suppression of the Truth on Domestic Violence by the Washington Post.
For example, in a 2021 editorial, Biden has a chance to restore balance to the rules on campus sexual assault, the Post, admitted that the new (2011) Title IX sexual assault policies “…caused an overcorrection that, in some cases, denied due process to those accused of sexual assault. Male students who had been found guilty in administrative proceedings of sexual wrongdoing, and who were expelled or given other punishments, mounted successful court challenges. The Trump regulations sought to restore balance by spelling out due process rights, including a presumption of innocence”, but then took the feminist position that Trump era correction went too far, and could possibly “… could discourage victims of assault from coming forward.”
See my post Domestic Violence: Feminism’s Big Lie or visit The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge (PASK) website. PASK has performed an extensive review of 12,000 DV studies and concludes that domestic violence is NOT simply “men beating up women”.
