:o
holy shit


1.Incidents of violence against women and teenage girls are increasing on television at rates that far exceed the overall increases in violence on television. Violence, irrespective of gender, on television increased only 2% from 2004 to 2009, while incidents of violence against women increased 120% during that same period.

* The most frequent type of violence against women on television was beating (29%), followed by credible threats of violence (18%), shooting (11%), rape (8%), stabbing (6%), and torture (2%). Violence against women resulted in death 19% of the time.


*Violence towards women or the graphic consequences of violence tends overwhelmingly to be depicted (92%) rather than implied (5%) or described (3%).


2.Every network but ABC demonstrated a significant increase in the number of storylines that included violence against women between 2004 and 2009.

3.Although female victims were primarily of adult age, collectively, there was a 400% increase in the depiction of teen girls as victims across all networks from 2004 to 2009.

4.Fox stood out for using violence against women as a punch line in its comedies -- in particular Family Guy and American Dad -- trivializing the gravity of the issue of violence against women.

5. From 2004 to 2009 there was an 81% increase in incidences of intimate partner violence on television.

this study was also only done on the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC!

imagine the results when you include HBO, Showtime, USA, MTV, etc...

I remember i stopped watching Sopranos when one of the characters murdered his mistress for no reason. i couldn't stomach the violence portrayed in that show. Same with Deadwood. They were always raping and beating women in that show. it was soul breaking to watch.

The study references these stats as a background:

- In 64% of female homicide cases reported in 2007, females were killed by a family member or intimate partner (24% of female homicide victims were killed by a spouse or ex-spouse; 21% were killed by a boyfriend or girlfriend; and 19% by another family member). (S. Catalano, E. Smith, H. Snyder and M. Ran, September, 2009).

- in 2008 females age 12 or older experienced approximately 552,000 (reported) nonfatal violent victimizations (rape/sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated or simple assault) by an intimate partner (a current or former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend). (the Bureau of Justice Statistics)

- In 2007, 70% of victims killed by an intimate partner were female.(the Bureau of Justice Statistics)

- More than 60% of children in the US are exposed to violence either directly or indirectly (October, 2009 survey study by the Justice Department’s office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention)
nearly half of all children surveyed were assaulted at least once in the past year, and about 6% were victimized sexually. One in five of those between the ages of 14 and 17 reported they had seen a shooting.

Seriously, there's what, like 2 or three law and orders. Three CSI, two NCIS-esesses or whatever. I'm sure that's a lot of it. I'd love to know the breakdown, worst offenders etc

here the full report (pdf file)

CBS seems to be the leader in violence against women (119% increase since 2004) and teenage girls (600% increase since 2004)

At least their minds aren't being poisoned with carnal imagery.


true. I'd rather have my children see images of women getting raped and tortured than of two consenting adults sexing each other up.
