I think you nailed it. This snippet is particularly telling:

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) pledged on Wednesday to join all the female members of the U.S. Senate to urge the United Nations and the international community to name Boko Haram as a known terrorist groups.

What, do you suppose, if the reason for limiting it only to one gender?

Why is there no "reaching across the aisle" to include a few men, even Republican men?

Perhaps the liberals would have been upset about the burning of the boys if anyone has pointed out the pollution created by the fires contributed to climate change.

Many in today’s society have been encouraged, lo even taught to value men or males of any age less than females. There is a big difference between expecting someone to be an open minded gentleman of magnanimity vs expecting men to serve as cannon fodder or collateral war losses , sperm donors and someone with endlessly deep pockets made available for the gouging by court order.

This is very old fashioned thinking that has not kept up with today’s world, where women can and often do have power. Not just the United States should be blamed for ignoring this, but the entire ‘so-called’ civilized world. These are the same countries that have ignored other Black on Black crime in Chicago and Zimbabwe.

Well, since I literally heard Hillary say “as someone who follows girls around” when speaking about this, I just assumed the lezbos had come out of hiding.

You won’t find anybody more instinctively protective of little girls than me.

But I don’t therefore think it’s no big deal to burn little boys alive. Or shoot them, FTM.

Easier to declear Israel a known Terrorist group and 99% of the UN would vote to approve that as you know the Jews are Terrorists.

This IS about “boys vs girls.” This country’s institutions instill hatred and disdain of boys. Boys (and men) are ignored when they aren’t being treated with contempt. As an example, more women die from heart disease, but instead of pushing cures for something that could also help men, feminists who have taken control of this country push breast cancer since the vast majority of cases are in women. It is evil.

The media pay attention to the kidnapping story because it sounds like sex is involved. That’s it. They don’t care if children were burned to death. They don’t care if Christians are butchered. But hundreds of nubile young women sold in sexual slavery? That’s hot! They’re all over it.

They would lose their ability to move into these groups and report favorably on them. Once a media company slams them all their field reporters would be killed.

In answer to the question, in February, the media didn’t need to distract from the Benghazi Select Committee.

They didn’t care when the bearded savages burned churches with living Christians inside. They didn’t care when the clean-shaven savages flew planes into buildings. They didn’t care about the slavery practiced by bearded savages.
Something caught their attention, and they are paying attention. Good, but too little too late.

Because nobody really cares what happens in Africa until the story has some sex in it. Burned boys? Just another day in Africa. Kidnapped girls? Lurid imaginations run wild.

Who says the MSM is actually covering the story?

The MSM is in fact, finally, after two weeks or so of coverage in Christian news sources, running stories about kidnapped Nigerian girls, but look for:

1. Obama is coming to their aid.
2. The word “Christian.”
3. The word “Muslim.”

The MSM is not covering the Nigerian girls story.

I agree. I don’t think many believe that it’s no big deal to burn anyone alive, much less children.
