High School Female on Male "Domestic" Violence High

Dittohd writes "Surprise! Surprise! In Florida, high school males are reporting more physical violence against them by their girlfriends than the girls are reporting against them by their boyfriends. Notice that in the statistic, they changed "girlfriends" to "significant others.""

Men Are Chellenged to Speak About Feminism

Liberty Unh writes "
In the misandrist article Let's hear from the boys on feminism, Sushi Das challenges us to speak about feminism:

Men need to discuss whether their behaviour and demands need reform. Their cowardly opting out of discussions that relate to feminism is apparent in their silence... Where are men's voices? I challenge men to speak out. Show you understand these issues are important to everybody, not just women. Let's hear what you've got to say.

Let's send letters (letters @ theage.com.au) to The Age editor showing that we indeed have an opinion on gender issues."

Male Suicide: From the Westchester Psychiatrist

The following is an article written by Edward M. Stephens, M.D., Chair, Committee on Men's Issues, The Psychiatric Society of Westchester (a district branch of The American Psychiatric Association [APA]) and President, NCFM, Greater New York Chapter (NCFM, GNY). The article, published in The Westchester Psychiatrist,, was also published in The Male Voice, e-newsletter of NCFM, GNY.


The piece has great value in and of itself, but it's also good to see that this information is being brought forth by The Psychiatric Society of Westchester’s Committee on Men’s Issues, founded by Dr. Stephens and the first-ever such committee (men's issues) within a district branch of the APA.

BiscuitQueen Takes the Helm

Posters here may be familiar with BiscuitQueen, aka JenK, a highly intelligent and delightful woman, who is becoming an increasing force in the men's rights movement. She has recently taken over as editor of The Male Voice, e-newsletter of the National Coalition of Free Men, Greater New York chapter.


I won't reprint the entire publication (her first as editor), though I'll separately post an article contained therein by Edward M. Stephens, M.D., President of NCFM, GNY and Chair, Committee on Men's Issues, The Psychiatric Society of Westchester (NY), a district branch of The American Psychiatric Association.


The newsletter contains several additional items, including a fine interview with Tom Ellis, groundbreaking author of "The Rantings of a Single Male: Losing Patience with Feminism, Political Correctness... and Basically Everything."


I have to say, BQ/JenK has done a superb job with her first NCFM newsletter. It's a blessing to have her as a player in our civil rights movement.


Members of NCFM can subscribe to the newsletter at http://www.themalevoice.org/


Thanks, BQ, for all your great work!

RADAR Alert: It's Time for the Inspector General to Investigate What Went Wrong at PBS

On December 2nd, the Public Broadcasting Service Ombudsman Michael
Getler issued his report on Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories
[http://www.pbs.org/ombudsman].
Getler criticized the program, saying:

  • "there was no recognition of opposing views on this program."
  • "I thought this particular program had almost no balance, and
    went too far, turning it, at least in my mind, into more of an
    advocacy, or point-of-view, presentation."
  • "the totality of the presentation came across as quite tilted"

Insight from TV-land

Though this article has a rather stupid title and is about television (which means little to me), I found that it contains a few good insights.


As a result of thousands of interviews with young men, to determine what they want in television, Spike TV "found that men responded not only to brave and extremely competent leads but to a menagerie of characters with strikingly antisocial tendencies".

Also, the director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, Robert Thompson, states that the enemy of the contemporary male is "the legal, cultural and social infrastructure of the nation itself."


Ya think?

Indian Feminist Defends Court-martialed Woman

Anonymous User writes "A woman flying officer in the Indian Air Force - Anjali Gupta was court-martialed and dismissed from service for fudging travel bills and indiscipline. After the court-martial procedeeings began, Anjali accused her male seniors of sexual harassment. She claimed she was victimised for standing up to their behaviour. After a long drawn enquiry, charges against her were proved, charges of sexual harassment were dismissed. Now a feminist lawyer comes forward to defend Anjali saying she was punished because she dared to enter a male bastion!"

Blame Men for Global Warming

Fidelbogen writes "Men, so they say, are larger contributors to global greenhouse gassing. Personally, I think that trying to quantify something like this (with its myriad intangibles and ambiguities) is like measuring a gaseous substance with a rubber band. BUT...... notice the call to "integrate gender sensitivity into all mechanisms, policies and measures, and tools and guidelines within the climate debate."
This is the kind of stuff that makes feminism profoundly sinister... link here."

Another Murdered Child, Another Man in Debtor's Prison

RandomMan writes "Just reading Men's News Daily, and noticed these pieces. The continuous stream of these articles about poor, oppressed child murderers is just depressing. Meanwhile, men are sent to debtor's prison for not paying and paying and paying when they don't have the means. It makes it hard to look an average woman in the eye sometimes, even though I know that most of them would share our revulsion at this nonsense."

Lafave must stand trial - agreement rejected!

quetzal writes "As you may recall, Debra Lafave was the woman arrested for sexual battery in Florida a few months ago. She then reached an agreement with the victim's family such that she would serve no jail time. The agreement has now been nullified by a judge, and it appears she will stand trial for the Marion County charges (and possibly the Hillsborough County charges)!!

Here it is."

Are 'Ubersexuals' Replacing 'Metrosexuals'?

Emanslave writes "It seems like our beloved pop culture wants to phase out "metrosexuals" in favor of "ubersexuals", the men who combine masculine traits and feminine traits and are socially aware. This AOL-WebMD article explains how men are redefining manhood and masculinity for themselves. I can tell you this, having the best of both worlds is one thing, but selfishly having a little for yourself is another.

Canadian Men - 0.014% as Valuable as Canadian Women

Random Man writes "On the recent anniversary of the killing of 14 fellow students (the dead were female) by a deranged person named Marc Lepine in Montreal, (he also wounded men, who are not honoured at all), all government flags in Canada flew at half mast to honour victims of violence against women. Of course, that same courtesy has only recently been extended to the 100,000 men who died in the world wars, Korea and peacekeeping missions on our "Rememberance Day" on November 11th, when only the flag over the parliament buildings was lowered in honour of the men who died defending our freedom, and then only in response to harsh public criticism of the incredible disrespect Canada's so-called Heritage Department was showing veterans and those killed in action.

It's nice to know where one stands on a quantitative basis. Some details here and here and the FINALLY revised flag-lowering policy that covers Rememberance Day here.

Still, we're now 0.014% as valuable as women. At least it's an improvement from a millionth of that a few years back"
