Man forced to pay again, 30 years after divorcing unfaithful wife

Story here. Excerpt:

'A wealthy retired builder was ordered to pay more money to the woman he divorced nearly 30 years ago after a judge heard she had "fallen on hard times", the Court of Appeal was told yesterday.

Dennis North, 70, was divorced from his first wife Jean, 61, in 1978 - a year after finding out she was having an affair with the man she later went to live with.
...
A district judge awarded her a lump sum of £202,000 in April last year despite agreeing that Mrs North's money troubles had nothing to do with her former husband and he had no further responsibility towards her.'

Woman shoots husband in the head, tries to cover it up

The BBC reports here on a guy who went to hospital with a severe headache - only to find he'd been shot.

"Michael Moylan, 45, from the state of Florida, is quoted as saying he had woken up with a headache so severe he thought it was caused by an aneurysm.

His wife, April, took him to hospital but left when the bullet was found. She was arrested later over the shooting, but said it was an accident. "

Hey that's unusual - a woman being violent, shooting a man whilst he slept then taking zero responsibility for it - haven't seen THAT before...

UK: New legislation means mothers will soon be forced to register the name of their child's father

The consequences of feminism speak for themselves. Article here. Excerpt:

'Watching Mark playing with our children is simply wonderful. He'd do anything for them and that makes our family feel secure and special.

Yet the relationship he has with Ellie and Harvey often makes me pine for the father figure I never had.

Not only did I grow up without a father, my mother never even told him she was pregnant with me - as far as he is concerned, I simply don't exist.

After three decades, Mum thinks I should accept this situation and get on with my life, but I've felt the stigma of being fatherless all my life. I resent the fact she never gave him the chance to be named on my birth certificate.'

"The Mirage of Professional Gender Equality": By David R. Butcher

Article here. Excerpt:

The Woman's Century? Never heard that one, but nothing surprises me anymore. Notice the links towards the end of the article. Excerpt:

"The 21st century has been called the Woman’s Century. Hillary Clinton is running for President, women are playing stronger roles in the workplace and the female profile is rising in many professional fields. So why does no one seem shocked that gender discrimination still lingers in the workplace today?"

Jailed for waving at my daughter

Story here. Excerpt:

"Then his former wife was granted an injunction stopping him even gesturing to his children as they passed. 'It was incredible. She said it was harassment, and the court believed her. But I carried on waving.
...
'I was damned if I was going to be prevented from waving at my own children. Naively, maybe, I assumed the whole business would be cleared up at the next court hearing.'

It wasn't. Instead, Mark left that courtroom in handcuffs, sentenced to four months, having been told that waving was tantamount to stalking his ex. He couldn't believe what was happening."

Wendy McElroy: "A conscientious objector in the Gender War"

Article here. Excerpt:

"To counter male control of the dialogue, such feminists seek to suppress politically incorrect words and ideas. In the workplace, laws such as those against verbal sexual harassment control words. In academia, ideas are regulated by language codes which categorize criticism or "attacks" on categories of human beings -- other than white males -- as hate speech. Even children's textbooks are edited to remove politically incorrect references."

So, a pig walks into a bar... by Tracy Clark-Flory

Article here. Excerpt:

"I was shocked to find that there's plenty about the ad that actually offends my own sensibilities. For starters: The depiction of men as pigs. I can understand the idea behind it -- that men who do not respect their partners enough to protect them from pregnancy or disease are pigs. But filling an entire bar with the nastiest of male stereotypes implies that almost all men are pigs. I'm also not too hot about the underlying message that men are solely responsible for condom use."

More on FOX, CBS Rejecting 'Evolve' Commercial

Story here.

As Matt mentioned, FOX and CBS have rejected the commercial. Several reasons are cited in the article, but nothing about misandry or media male bashing. Excerpt:

"Jim Daniels, vice president for marketing at Trojan, said the ad is more expensive than any previous campaigns, but he declined to give a specific amount. Daniels said the company's goal is to "dramatically increase" condom use in the U.S. "The 'Evolve' ad does a nice job of being humorous, but it's also a serious call to action," Daniels said, adding, "The pigs are a symbol of irresponsible sexual behavior and are juxtaposed with the condom as a responsible symbol of respect for oneself and one's partner"

New Book by Herb Goldberg Available

What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love

"In his first book in fifteen years, the author of the classic book on men, The Hazards of Being Male, explores the relationship dilemmas of contemporary men and women. What Men Still Don't Know About Women, Relationships, and Love uniquely addresses the timeless complexity of love and relationships. It is not uncommon for contemporary men to believe that they have done everything right in a relationship, only to find that even their best intentions have failed them. Dr. Herb Goldberg attempts to bridge the gap between a man's naturally distancing personality and his need for a close relationship. Explanations are given as to why it is actually men who take longer to get over a failed relationship and why a man's true relationship enemy is one that lies deep within himself. Many of the paradoxes and conundrums of men's relationship experiences are explored, with case histories presented and guidelines for change offered."
