Robert Rowan is proud of stealing 21 ceramic penises that were part of a domestic violence art show at the Boulder Public Library in Colorado. The faux severed penises were strung on a clothesline under the title "Hanging 'Em Out to Dry."

Typical Feminist crap. We need to stand up against this communist feminist PC propaganda parade.

The Boulder Liebrary falsely is teaching children that men are criminals and to be castrated. That is all that display is about. I could have done ceramic penises...but I'd not ever call myself an artist and neither should have that imp that created those that "hung" low in the Liebrary. Spelling intended for Boulder.

Anti-male slander so frequently passes for domestic violence "awareness" that the YWCA of Middle Tennessee was recently able to run an ad in two Nashville newspapers that depicted the blurred photo of a boy near a front door. The caption read, "One day he'll own his own house ... drive his own car ... beat his own wife."

Good Lord. I knew things were bad, but this and the "hanging penises" take the cake.

I personally boycott all products advertised with commercials that make men look like bumbling idiots.

Can anyone explain to me how the library justifies hanging these in public?

Why is this in a public space and not an art gallery?

If men had done a similar display with breasts, the feminists would have been screaming the “objectification” of women’s bodies.

I wonder if they hang them at "half-mast" during a feminist crisis.

I think it is time to file a class action lawsuit against the city and county of boulder for displaying pornography in public. Anyone want to join up?

"El Dildo Bandito was here"

LOL!

And it probably drove the left up the wall that the guy showed an easygoing, somewhat off-color sense of humor.

I think civil disobedience works just as well. A little creative mischief goes a far way.

Male-bashing is so ingrained into feminist culture by now that they don't even notice it, even deny it exists. Fish feel the same way about water.

I once got dragged to a "feminist" comedy series by a (now-ex-) girlfriend. Two hours of relentless, endless, mindless nasty comments about men unrelieved by the slightest change of topic or originality of approach. This was truly "hate-speech" in the precise meaning of the words. And the audience just lapped it up...and my date proved utterly incapable of understanding why I was first bored, then irritated, and finally infuriated. A total waste of time and money...yep, you guessed it, my money...that's the perfect feminist paridigm - we get to insult you and you have to pay for it. And Susan Faludi wonders why there's a "backlash!"

This is *so* true!

My 74 year old mother, ridicules my dad and turns to my son hoping he doesn't "grow up to be a MAN". Does she pause to consider the options?? argh!

Anit male attitudes are so pervasive, it's frightening when you realize it!

EUREKA!!!!! Now I can hang the Ten Commandments up in our Library by framing it and calling it art. Great idea. Isn't freedom a wonderful thing?

Did anyone hear Ari Fleischer's news conf this morning?
He said the women are now safe and little girls can now go to school!!!!! Not one word about little boys or non-taliban men being safe or being able to go to school.
This is not the first time this new "trigger" word has been used, folks, it seems it's been all about rescuing the women and girls and nothing about rescuing the rest of the population under tyrannical rule!!!
And I thought it was in retaliation for the WTC!
I'll say it again, this not a "war", it is a "police action".

This post will self-destruct from all the flames I am about to receive.

Well said! As any guy who has ever had to go through the "family court" system, you quickly become a second class (or lower) citizen merely by having a dominant "y" chromozome. The system is more than happy to realive you of your kids, your property and an ungodly amount of your income and society is okay with it because of this pervasive attitude than men are bad.
