The Ninth Commandment

Lying is a common practice in divorces and is routinely done by feminists in the vilification of men.
   The Nazis lied to make first the disenfranchisement and then the extermination of the Jews palatable.

"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."  Exodus 20:16

It almost seems that this is the commandment that is broken more often than any other and more often for the purpose of vilifying and demonizing men than in any other area of society.  Whole new industries have sprung up to facilitate those efforts.  Untold millions of people do their best to participate in the effort to destroy the reputation of men, all in largely successful attempts at claims that although men throughout history had to give their lives and health in their duties as protectors and providers of their families, they all along were the worst thing that ever befell mankind.  The claims are that today men are worse than at any other time in history and that even any men who aren't must atone "for the sins of their fathers."  That is being believed by the majority of society.  The result is that men today are being persecuted and oppressed more than at any other time before.   Therefore men commit suicide in record numbers.

All of that provides fertile breeding grounds for the acceptability of false allegations of physical and sexual abuse of children and women, a potent weapon in the arsenal used against men to downgrade them to the status of inferior citizens.  Although men and women grew up in the care of they same set of parents and on the same planet, the forces hostile to the continued existence of traditional families managed to make society accept their rhetoric about men being evil.

The result is that men in Canada are 100 times (in the US 18.6 times) more likely to be incarcerated than women are.  Women are less likely than men to be brought to trial when they commit identical crimes, are less likely to be convicted if brought to trial, more likely to have their crimes downgraded to a less serious category, and, if sentenced for their crimes, get a sentence that is on average one third as severe as what men are being sentenced to.  To boot, women are far more likely to be released on early parole than men are when both serve time for equally severe sentences.
