The article And Then He Hit Me
minimizes elder male domestic violence victimization. It was published
in the January/February 2006 issue of the AARP Magazine. The
author, David France, claims that the numbers of woman-on-man incidents of domestic violence are, in his words, “negligible”.
He also notes that data from a 1988 study of elder abuse in Boston
suggests that the extrapolated number of elders abused could be a
million a year.

Before moving to Nashville in 2001, he was active with the Fathers' Rights Association of NY State for several years. He was hand-picked to serve on a 1998 Legislative Task Force, and wrote the major portion of the report on Family Court Reform.

But, when he announced a run for Congress, he was snubbed by the media. You can read the details here.

Fighting pro-se, Tom got his ex-wife's NY lawyer sanctioned twice. The lawyer appealed twice, and lost ... twice."

Like a crop of mushrooms or crabgrass on the front lawn of academe, The Vagina Monologues is popping up all over to celebrate the springtime season of romance and endless victimhood and oppression. One such example: U of Rochester, Rochester, NY. There are dozens of other such examples of this piece of joy erupting on US and Canadian college campuses, as discussed in this MANN post.

Since the Vagina Monologues seems to be like Cerebrus, multi-headed guardian-hound of Hell, simultaneous attacks on the heads of the beast are probably a good strategy.

Homework for the month of March: check your local institution of "higher learning" and see if the beast is rearing one of its ugly heads there. If so, make your opinion about it heard to the producers, trustees, president, whoever. If enough people openly challenge the beast, it will lose potency and may one day retreat back to the firey depths from which it emerged.

The Washington Post, which normally and rightly condemns people who commit the most heinous of crimes, again balks when the perp is female. Their latest offense against common sense is here.

Excerpt:


All she wants is to set the record straight, Margarete says, for others to see her for the manipulated young woman she believed herself to be, not one of the criminal "blond beasts" that female SS are seen as. Her family learned her secret first -- and they believe her. When her daughter, Monika, was 16, Margarete recounted her life story. "At the time, I was enraged," Monika told one of Jacobeit's researchers in 2004. "But when I learned it wasn't voluntary -- that she'd been sent there -- well, what kind of chance did she have? What could she have done?"

Well, she could have refused, for one thing, accepting execution like any number of male draftees who refused to go along with the Nazi "program", or she could have worked within the system to undermine it in some way. But instead, like so many others of both sexes, she just went along.

Roy writes "A lesbian teacher who had sexual relations with a 17 year-old female student will not be charged with criminal sexual conduct, after her anonymous victim declined to press charges. She's been suspended without pay from her teaching job, pending a school board review. A local lesbian minister says it's a shame that when the schools need excellent teachers, this predator is being kept out of the classrooms. Note that if this case were about a male perpetrator, the state's "no drop" policies would guarantee his prosecution.

"LAURENS, S.C. (AP) -- It's the latest case of a female schoolteacher accused of having sex with a young boy.

Authorities in Laurens, South Carolina, have arrested a 36-year-old elementary school teacher on charges that she'd had sex with one of her eleven-year-old students."

The whole sordid story is here.

There is now a digital video available of the Tucker Carlson interview with Commissioner Michael Geanoulis of the NH Commission on the Status of Men. The video is very low resolution/low quality, but still gives you an idea of how the interview went. You can download the 7.1 MB MPEG here.

Roy writes "Wendy McElroy argues that the men’s movement is making a blunder by seeking to identify men as a new "victim class." She says rather than seeking inclusion for services under VAWA, MRAs should be advocating for the repeal of bad laws. "Only time will tell whether the men's movement will become a politics of rage as the feminist movement did in the mid-70s ... Only time will tell whether men will become the next group to use government force to seek restitution, not for wronged individuals (which is just) but for an entire class of people." Interesting iFeminist variation on Chivalry... only women deserve status/power as an organized social group ... but a man must go it alone?"
