Elizabeth Sheehy is the author of the book Defending battered Women on Trial in which she argues that wives should have the right to kill their husbands. Sheehy's book openly asserts that women who have allegedly experienced battered wives syndrome should be able to kill their husbands preemptively. Sheehy's argument, therefore, devolves into advocacy for any woman to be able to lawfully kill her husband if she asserts that he has been violent towards her since these men, by definition, have not been charged in relation to intimate partner violence.[1][2][3][4]
Misandry
Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men.[5] The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century.[6] At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.
These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide[7] and The End of Men[8] can be published without significant objection from the wider community.
Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons'[9][10][11] with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
