Man who was deceived about paternity retains custody

Story here. Excerpt:

"The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that people who deceive their spouses into thinking that a child is theirs cannot later contest their right to custody -- even if DNA tests show they are not the parent.

The court unanimously upheld a lower court ruling granting primary custody to Ren Ricky Hinshaw, whose wife led him to believe he was the father of their child until they divorced and she produced genetic testing showing the child wasn't his."

Discrimination against women... in coffee shops?

Article here.

That's right people, a story about coffee shops discriminating against women. Apparently they have to wait a whole 20 extra seconds for their drinks on average.

The study is unscientific. It only covered eight coffee houses, so that data is quite questionable. The author's sexist solution? Women-only coffee shops. Note that the author is male.

Woman Stabs Estranged Husband to Death, Faces Two Assault Charges

Manslaughter? Even unintentional homicide? No. "Assault". Story here. Excerpt:

"2007 Women's Expo"

Another woman-only event! Events like these can be found all over the country at various times. This one is just an example. Now imagine a "Men's Expo", men only please. Or maybe a "Whites Expo", or "Blacks Expo", etc.

While it may be true these kinds of things exist for one purpose only: to sell stuff to people -- nonetheless, just as with "women's banks", women-only hotel floors, women-only beaches, etc., the message is this: we don't like men and don't want them around, for whatever reasons. This is just one way that gender feminist separatists are bringing their new world order into being.

Sexist jokes can increase discrimination

Article here.

Surprise...it only about discriminating against women, despite the fact it would have been incredibly simple to do the exact same experiment with both genders. And of course, no mention of the rampant misandry and man-bashing in the media.

Purdue Student Paper: "Females initiate some abuse"

Via Marc A.: "This is the 7th university newspaper story (we know of) that resulted from our news release in the past month."

Article here. Excerpt:

'Men are not always necessarily the initiators of domestic violence.

A recent study has shown that men and women commit acts of domestic violence at similar rates.

"Domestic violence is a human problem, not a gender problem," said Marc Angelucci, president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Coalition of Free Men. "But unfortunately it has been misframed as a gender problem for decades by the media and by gender-driven political ideologies."'

Australia: Law 'turns boys into rapists'

Story here. Excerpt:

'Tough new rape laws which make it clear being drunk does not constitute consent have been condemned by barristers, who insist: "It will turn our sons into criminals."

The NSW Bar Associations reckons the "No means no" law goes too far and will lobby Upper House members to vote against it when it is up for debate next week.

The law will define the meaning of consent for the first time, making it clear that being drunk or under the influence of drugs does not mean consent has been given.

It will also introduce an "objective fault test", meaning a man can no longer use the defence that he thought he had consent if the circumstances appear unreasonable.'

Book: "Does Feminism Discriminate against Men?: A Debate"

Dear Editor,

This may be the first time there has been a very positive review from a mainstream national newspaper (Canada's National Post) praising a male-positive perspective over a feminist perspective. It is a review of Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?: A Debate between Warren Farrell (with Steven Svoboda) and James P. Sterba. You can read it here.

More important, "Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?" is the first time one of the two main academic presses (Oxford U Press and Harvard U Press) has attempted to introduce a male-positive perspective to feminist gender studies professors in the U.S. and Canada. If we each contact a local university to suggest this book, its adoption will encourage other academic presses to introduce more books incorporating male-positive perspectives.

How badly is this needed in universities? Look at this email I received yesterday...

Study: 1 out of 4 homeless are veterans

Article here.

The word "veterans" could easily replaced by simply stating men. Most of these homeless men are Vietnam Vets. Many of these men suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress disorder. Now the Iraq war is contributing to this crisis. These men are not properly treated and live a life on the streets eating out of garbage cans. I suspect with the increasing number of female military personnel, this issue will become a serious topic. Society will never tolerate homeless female veterans. A military clerical position held by a woman would probably be more of a priority than the man who served in heavy combat. I would not be surprised if the victim industry pushes for a Congressional bill preventing any female vet. from becoming homeless. Such a bill would probably be initiated by man hater, Joe Biden. As for the men, find a warm spot on the streets during the winter and good luck! Excerpt:

Hillary and the Estrogen Card

Article here. Excerpt:

'Former Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro raced to her defense as well, stating to the New York Times that Clinton had been unfairly “attacked” during the debate: “It’s OK in this country to be sexist,” she said, and “I don’t think Barack Obama would have been attacked for two hours.

Herein lies the sexism. There was not a single question asked of her during the debate that would have been stated differently if she were a man. She says she wants to be treated as an equal, but really, she wants to be treated differently: more gently, and as a superior. That’s because SHE believes she’s superior by virtue of her “womanhood.”
...
But she’s not getting away with the double-game this time. Either she’s a fragile woman who needs special courtesies, or she’s tough-as-nails and ready to be commander-in-chief. Can’t be both. Pick one, Senator. And let’s see if you can stick with it.'

20-YO woman gets 4 years for raping 12-YO boy

Story here. Excerpt:

'A 20-year-old West Chester Township woman not only stole a 12-year-old boy’s innocence, she also robbed him of dignity when she had sexual contact with him, his mother told a judge this week.

“He was very disturbed, embarrassed and ashamed,” an assistant prosecutor said, summarizing a statement the boy’s mother read during Jennifer L. Whitson’s sentencing in Butler County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.

Whitson’s lawyer, Christopher Alexander of Mason, said he questions whether the encounter was the boy’s first sexual experience. He also said his client used no force, that the contact was “very quick” and stopped short of intercourse. Even so, Alexander said, “I’m sure it’s going to have a lasting effect on that young man.”'

Court rejects 'Roe v. Wade for Men'

Story here. Excerpt:

'LANSING, Michigan (AP) -- A federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit nicknamed "Roe v. Wade for Men" filed by a men's rights group on behalf of a man who said he shouldn't have to pay child support for his ex-girlfriend's daughter.

A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a decision released Tuesday, agreed with a lower court judge that Matthew Dubay's suit was frivolous.

Dubay, 25, had said ex-girlfriend Lauren Wells knew he didn't want to have a child and assured him repeatedly she couldn't get pregnant because of a medical condition.

He argued that if a pregnant woman can choose among abortion, adoption or raising a child, a man involved in an unintended pregnancy should have the choice of declining the financial responsibilities of fatherhood.

U.S. District Judge David Lawson in Bay City disagreed, rejecting Dubay's argument that Michigan's paternity law violates the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause because it didn't extend reproductive rights to men.'
