Super Bowl Sunday Syndrome: Several women's advocates maintain that there is a direct correlation between watching the Super Bowl and violence against women. These feminists rely on data that they claim support the assertion that Super Bowl Sunday is "the biggest day of the year for violence against women." One cited study indicated a 40% increase in such violence after games won by the Washington Redskins. According to the Boston Globe, women's shelters and hotlines are "flooded with more calls from victims [on Super Bowl Sunday] than any day of the year." As it turns out, every study linking football to violence against women proved unreliable.   Alan Dershowitz The Abuse Excuse   The tragic saga of OJ Simpson, charged with the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, has once again thrust domestic violence into the spotlight. But many of those discussing the issue seem more interested in exploiting a tragedy for political gain and in bashing men than in offering solutions.   Cathy Young Women's Freedom Network       "...feminist ideology holds that physical menace toward women is the norm. Gloria Steinem's portrait of male-female intimacy under patriarchy is typical: The most dangerous situation for a woman is not an unknown man in the street, or even the enemy in wartime, but a husband or lover in the isolation of their own home." Steinem's description of the dangers women face in their own home is reminiscent of the Super Bowl hoax of January 1993. Christina Hoff Sommers Who Stole Feminism?   Feminists would eventually go after the last and most important vestige of manhood--no, not as CEO's nor as important politicians, but where they could do the most damage: men's sports.   Max Freedman Manhood Redux We think it is important for young people of both sexes to have role models, and so we don't want to exclude anyone.   Thomas Beerman IBM spokesperson in response to "Take Your Daughter to Work Day."
