Judge that defends men!

 

Case #1:

Counselor 1: Your Honor, my client, Mr. Dawson, has been the victim of abuse by his girlfriend, Miss Davis. We have photographic evidence of the injuries he sustained and a video showing her brandishing a weapon.

Judge: Please approach the bench. (Whispered conference between judge and lawyers) Very well, let's proceed with the evidence.

Counselor 1: (To the judge) We call Mr. Dawson to the stand. (Mr. Dawson testifies, describing the abuse) We also request the video be admitted into evidence.

Judge: Very well. (To the jury) Please note the video is not being entered to inflame but to establish the nature of the threat.

Counselor 2: (Cross-examines Mr. Dawson, focusing on his cheating allegations)

Judge: The jury will disregard the defendant's alleged infidelity unless you provide substantial evidence.

Counselor 2: (Fumbles, unable to provide further evidence)

Judge: Jury, how do you find Miss Davis?

Jury: We find Miss Davis guilty.

Judge: Miss Davis, I hereby sentence you to 10 years' imprisonment. Mr. Dawson, the court grants your request for a restraining order against Miss Davis.



Case #2:

Counselor 1: Your Honor, my client, Mrs. Clark, has been charged with the statutory rape of a 14-year-old boy and is pregnant with his child.

Judge: (To Counselor 2) I must caution you, Counselor. Any victim-blaming or inappropriate arguments may result in a contempt charge.

Counselor 2: (Nervously) Yes, Your Honor. We merely suggest... given the circumstances... the boy's family should be considered for support.

Counselor 1: (Outraged) Your Honor, this is outrageous! The law is clear: minors cannot consent.

Judge: I concur. The boy's youth and the power dynamic prevent true consent. Mrs. Clark will face appropriate sentencing, and child support is not applicable.

Counselor 2: (Mumbling) But, Your Honor…

Judge: Enough, Counselor. The court will not condone or mitigate statutory rape based on the perpetrator's gender or appearance. Mrs. Clark, you are remanded into custody pending sentencing.



Case #3:

Counselor 1: Your Honor, this case pertains to the tragic deaths of three minors at the hands of their mother, who then took her own life. The father survives.

Judge: (Sighs) Very well, proceed.

Counselor 2: While the event is undeniably horrific, we request the court consider the mother's history of abuse and trauma.

Judge: Would you propose the same mitigation if the genders were reversed?

Counselor 2: (Pauses) ...No, Your Honor.

Judge: Precisely. The court cannot excuse the taking of innocent life based on the perpetrator's gender. Appropriate support and services will be made available to the surviving father. (Bangs gavel) Case closed.

The Innovation Paradox: Why Basic Security Fuels Progress

  The Innovation Paradox: Why Basic Security Fuels Progress When I was a child, I had everything I needed - a home, food, education, and medical care when I got sick. This security didn't make me lazy. Instead, it gave me the foundation to learn, grow, and imagine. This simple truth holds a powerful lesson for how we should structure our society. Some argue that removing the struggle for survival would kill innovation. They paint a picture of a world where, freed from necessity, humans would stagnate in comfortable mediocrity. But this argument fundamentally misunderstands both human nature and the real barriers to innovation in our current system. The cruel irony is that the very conditions supposedly driving innovation - constant financial pressure, expensive healthcare, crushing student debt, and housing insecurity - are actually suffocating it. How can someone innovate when they're working multiple jobs just to keep a roof over their head? How can they take the entrep...

masculinity

Masculinity   Is masculinity dead? Is it the fault of some feminist or gay agenda? Was it caused by the bun-wearing guys with lattes and avocado toasts? Was it due to the unholy atheists? Of course not. But there are unfortunately a lot of people who think this way, especially those who believe that masculinity is really on the decline. But is it really? Some people want there to be a single mold for men: tough, rugged, thick-skinned, fearless, always pushing himself to the limit, willing to die for his country, willing to provide for his wife and children, believing in God, being heterosexual, peeing while standing, and rejecting anything deemed feminine. Who fits this mold? Very few men do. And here's the thing: most men never fit that mold, nor had they ever. Throughout history and across cultures, masculinity has always been far more diverse and nuanced than modern critics would have us believe. In ancient Greece, for philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, masculinity was deepl...

What Really Scares Me (And What Doesn’t)

  What Really Scares Me (And What Doesn’t) By Tim Friday People talk a lot about what they fear—things like ghosts, flying, spiders. But my fears are simpler. More grounded. Real. I fear dog attacks. I’ve been attacked before, more than once, without provocation. The worst part isn’t just the trauma of the bite or the shock—it’s the way people defend it. They say things like, “It must’ve sensed something,” or “Dogs only attack if provoked.” As if I deserved it. That gaslighting hurts worse than the teeth. I fear car crashes. I’ve already been in a few. Minor, maybe, by insurance standards, but not by mine. I know what that impact feels like. The snap of the seatbelt. The sound of metal folding in on itself. I’ve had close calls too—so close I thought, This might be it. That terror doesn’t fade. It lingers under my skin when I drive. I fear being assaulted. That should be a no-brainer. And yes, even men like me get assaulted. I’ve been hit, shoved, screamed at, threatened—u...
