UNH incident case of anti-male bias To the editor: "Man caught in the act"? The sexist title of your article says a lot about your newspaper and today's New Hampshire. Based on the title of this Oct. 27 "news story" alone, one could presume that all sex between men and women is rape, just as stated by some feminists. This is especially true on the bigoted, anti-male UNH campus in Durham. In the middle of the article one discovers that two people (one the presumed "official woman victim") were involved in "having sex on the hood of a Ford Escort." Why weren't both of these adults charged with "lewd behavior" in public? Is it because one party was female? With New Hampshire's and UNH's especially "gender selective" law enforcement, who can blame the "presumed guilty" man for running. Setting aside the fact that America has one-in-four prison inmates on this planet (www.worldmapper.com), let's consider how men get dramatically different treatment in matters of justice in New Hampshire and America. Lacking New Hampshire data, here is some illustrative Texas data on a few offenses ( www.ncfm.org/research.php): — For every woman arrested for assault, seven men will be arrested, but by the punishment phase, 25 men will be sent to prison for every woman. — For every woman arrested for aggravated assault, 10 men will be arrested, but by the punishment phase, 79 men will go to prison for every woman. — Perhaps the most graphic example of the bias of our courts is the crime of fraud. For every 10 women arrested for that offense, only eight men will be arrested and only five will be convicted of a felony. However, when it comes time to send someone to prison, nine men will go for every woman. At his age, and if I knew these facts, I might have run too rather than face my own sexist lynching.
