NOW Sues Over Fatherhood Programs

Article here. Excerpt:

'It's called the Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Initiative, and the Bush administration doles out up to $50 million annually to fund its programs to build job skills and help fathers connect better with their children. But the National Organization for Women says the effort is illegal because it's only about men.

NOW and Legal Momentum, another advocacy group, filed complaints yesterday with the Department of Health and Human Services alleging sex discrimination in the initiative that is funding about 100 programs this year.'

Story here. Excerpt:

"Maurice Kondell was helping out behind the counter at a Wendy's fast food outlet on May 19, 2004, when a team of police officers walked in, clamped handcuffs on his wrists and led him away to face sexual assault charges.

Hillary Clinton receives endorsement from NOW

Story here. Excerpt:

"Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton declared Wednesday that if you look up the word "feminist" in a dictionary, you'll find her."

Asked if she viewed herself as a feminist, Clinton said by the standard definition, yes.

"If you look in the dictionary, the word feminist means someone who believes in equal rights for women in society, in the economy, the political process — generally believes in the equality of women. And I certainly believe in the equality of women," she said.

Two Teachers Accused of 'Having Sex' with Six Students

Article here:

'The arrest of two women teachers on charges of having sex with their male students has brought cries of lingering racism in one of South Carolina's most conservative counties and evoked some of the South's oldest and deepest-seated racial taboos.

Both women are white. The boys - six in all - are black.

...

"If this had been black teachers, they would not be out of jail right now," said Corinnie Young, a 49-year-old bookstore employee who is black.

Some blacks shudder to think what would have happened if the teachers were black men and the students were white girls.

Woman-on-woman assault at NYTimes: No action taken

At the risk of sounding like one of those MSM people who spend more time pointing up the flaws of other media outfits rather than reporting news, I just have to post this. Now given that the two combatants were female, what happens? No one is fired. Now of course had this been a male-female case, or a male-male case, one or both people (most likely all males) would have been sacked that day. But when the violaters are both women? The system freezes up and shuts down, incapabale of handling the paradoxes. Net result: an assault is not redressed, and the double-standard goes on merrily unchecked. Excerpt:

'A catfight at The New York Times Friday still has staffers in shock.

The dustup between two female editors in the Styles department disrupted work on the Thursday and Sunday Styles sections as co-workers froze at the fracas.

UN: Circumcision Is Recommended to Fight HIV

Article here. Excerpt:

'U.N. health agencies recommended Wednesday that HETEROSEXUAL men undergo circumcision because of "compelling" evidence that it can reduce their chances of contracting HIV by up to 60 percent.
...
The public health impact is likely to be most rapid where there is a high rate of HIV infection among men having sex with WOMEN.'

SO BASICALLY ME MUST CONCLUDE THAT MEN SHOULD BE MUTILATED FOR THE SAFETY AND PLEASURE OF WOMEN. HMMM, ISN'T FEMALE CIRCUMCISION WRONG BECAUSE ITS DONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MEN?

Ex-wife's sex change doesn't end alimony obligation

File this article in the 'bizarre' category. I had to post it mostly because the idiot agreed to pay $1,250 a month for the rest of his ex-wife's life (which is always fun when the guy statistically dies first, hey, she's still alive, who cares if the guy is dead, she needs her money). Especially when you consider how much sex-change operations costs, I wonder how the court justified her needing the money. Excerpt:

"Lawrence Roach agreed to pay alimony to the woman he divorced, not the man she became after a sex change, his lawyers argued Tuesday in an effort to end the payments. But the ex-wife's attorneys said the operation doesn't alter the agreement."

"Antifreeze Killer" Spared Death Sentence

Disparities in sentencing based on gender?? Never! Well, maybe... read it here. Excerpt:

'Lynn Turner could have faced the death penalty for the 2001 murder of Randy Thompson, a Forsyth County firefighter and father of Turner's two children. Instead, the jury sentenced her to life in prison without parole.

She was already serving a life term following her 2004 conviction in the antifreeze death of her police officer husband Glenn Turner in 1995.

Lynn Turner maintained her innocence in both cases and did not testify at trial or during her sentencing hearing Monday.

Prosecutors said she was motivated by greed for the victims' life insurance money.'

Lawmakers Seek to Reintroduce ERA

Story here. ERA is a controversal topic even among MRAs. Supposedly the wording insists on gender-neutrality for all laws and legal standards, which in many ways would be progress for men-- however, as we know, when it comes to equality under the law, women are viewed as "more equal" than men, if not out and out just not subject to the same standards at all. My own take is that there is no way a law, even a constitutional amendment, guaranteeing gender-blindness in the law will actually work in any way for men, as long as our society and legal system remains permeated by misandry. Excerpt:

'(CNSNews.com) - Liberal Democrats in the Senate and House plan to resume "the fight for women's equality" on Tuesday, when they reintroduce the Women's Equality Amendment.

Sens. Ted Kennedy (Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (Calif.) and Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler, both of New York, plan to join Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority, in making the Tuesday afternoon announcement.'

Woman's war story unravels

An Editor's Note confirms that pretty much everything a woman said about her tour of duty was a fabrication:

"The cover article in The Times Magazine on March 18 reported on women who served in Iraq, the sexual abuse that some of them endured and the struggle for all of them to reclaim their prewar lives. One of the servicewomen, Amorita Randall, a former naval construction worker, told The Times that she was in combat in Iraq in 2004 and that in one incident an explosive device blew up a Humvee she was riding in, killing the driver and leaving her with a brain injury. She also said she was raped twice while she was in the Navy.

... Based on the information that came to light after the article was printed, it is now clear that Ms. Randall did not serve in Iraq, but may have become convinced she did."

Notice the editor's presumption that the woman did not blatantly lie, no that's not possible. She must just have been confused about the truth. Poor thing!

RADAR ALERT: I-VAWA Would Worsen a “Repugnant Violation of Fundamental Rights”

Domestic violence laws have been shown to be completely ineffective in stopping partner abuse, but highly effective in violating civil liberties, destroying families, and depriving children of their fathers.

Recently the Law on Gender Violence in Spaincame under scathing criticism from chief judge Maria Sanahuja, who said the law has brought about the “massive detention of men for scarcely any reason” which she condemned as “characteristic of totalitarian countries” and “a repugnant violation of fundamental rights.” See the judge’s comments here.

Two weeks ago we asked you to contact Senator Richard Lugar to speak out against the International Violence Against Women Act, a law that would export the U.S. Violence Against Women Act to countries around the world.

This week, we are asking you to contact Senator Lugar again, highlighting the massive civil rights violations that domestic violence laws are causing, both in the United States and abroad.
