I know just how difficult it can be to deal with women in the workplace. All of you know about my experiences with false sexual harassment accusations. At least I didn’t have to deal with women violently attacking me. Artis Hughes wasn’t so lucky. Mr. Hughes is a bus driver who had to deal with a woman, Shidea N. Lane, who boarded his bus and refused to pay the fare. She said that she had no money but was shown to be a liar because she eventually paid. She then became verbally abusive against Mr. Hughes. She threatened to spit on him repeatedly. Then she actually did spit on him. After that she grabbed his head and punched him. Several passengers recorded the assault with their phone cameras. (Here is one of the videos. Another video actually showing Lane attacking Hughes was pulled from Youtube for violating Youtube’s policy on “shocking and disgusting content”.) Hughes defended himself (and by extension all of the passengers on the bus) from Lane but was later suspended by his employer, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, pending an investigation.
A petition has been setup to call on the Greater Cleveland RTA to reinstate Hughes. Do something for mens rights and sign it.
Just like with the Brian Banks documentary, (except for a few voices)you won’t be hearing about this in the so called manosphere. What happened to Artis Hughes doesn’t fit into their conspiracy theory, paleo diet, or game bullshit. It can’t be used by them to fake government persecution. Plus, like Brian Banks, Artis Hughes is black so the so called manosphere doesn’t care about him.
Fighting feminism takes real world action, and that includes supporting men like Artis Hughes. Make sure you sign the petition to have the Greater Cleveland RTA reinstate him.
Meh. Suspending him was the correct thing to do – *pending an investigation*. That investigation should be fair, brief, and conclude that he deserves a bonus.
Had a look at the petition. Why is it in the “great britain” section? Also, ‘disasterous’ is not how ‘disastrous’ is spelled.
After I signed that petition, that website asked me if I wanted to sign one demanding an end to the “war on women.” Some war: they live longer, are safer from crime, have more opportunities, and can viciously attack a man and get away with it.
I never had to deal with false accusations, but I know violent women well. It is nuts that every time a man defends himself, he is lectured on how it is wrong to hit women. If a dog attacks you, and you defend yourself, will you be lectured on cruelty against animals?
Signed. I’ll post a link to this petition on my blog tomorrow.
Dang – there are already more than 2000 signatures!!!!
Freakin AWESOME!
We need two MILLION!
