Mother chops baby's leg off with an axe

Tirryb writes "News.com.au reports here that a mother chopped her own 20 month old son's leg off with an axe. Although she's been charged with attempted murder and other minor charges, she's getting help of course (diagnosis rather than punishment). Quote: "...court heard police had shown her great compassion since the attack... The court was told the mother would be taken to the Thomas Embling secure hospital rather than be kept in prison while on remand."

And, the father is now having to fight for custody with her parents... Where is the justice in this world..."

Equality is grand 'til it involves jail sentences

bandersnatch writes "From The Independent, Baroness Hale of Richmond will point to the "disproportionate increase" in the numbers of women and teenage girls in custody and call for judges to consider alternative community sentences for female offenders. Delivering the Longford Lecture, sponsored by The Independent, Lady Hale, the only female law lord, will denounce "some very unequal treatment" faced by women and girls who appear before the courts. "A male-ordered world has applied to them its perceptions of the appropriate treatment for male offenders," she will say. More and more in recent years, women and girls have been punished in the same way as men and boys. There seems to be less and less understanding of the ways in which their lives are very different from men's." -- Sorry, ladies -- can't have it both ways! You made your bed, now go lie in it."

Advocates for Boys Battle Back

Anonymous User writes "Article here:

Excerpt:

Such talk gets gender warriors on the other side loading their muskets.

"When girls were thought to be hurting in schools, the approach was to change the schools," said boys advocate Manthey. "When it's boys who are in trouble, people say, `Change the boy.'"

"Women-Only" Bank? Legal in Germany?

Dittohd writes "Doesn't Germany have regulations requiring certain percentages of women and men employees? Or are the regulations only applied, like in the U.S., when necessary to increase female employment?"

Excerpt:

Frauenbank's customers are typically university-educated women between 30 and 55.

There is also "a handful" of male clients. "We are women friendly, but that does not mean that we are hostile to men," Miss Hastreiter said.

Why Males Fail in School

There've been a few articles recently about males falling farther behind females in school. Michael Gurian is often cited as an expert on the subject, but he seems to have little understanding of why males are failing. Here's an article in the National Review Online by Kate O'Beirne, who lays the blame where it belongs -- on the feminist take over of the academy.


Until the root cause of the crisis is recognized and eliminated, attempts to address the problem will amount to nothing more than cosmetics that make the powers-that-be feel good about themselves.

Courts Go Easy on Women Who Commit Rape

The Courier-Mail carries this article on how "COURTS across the US are cracking down on women, especially teachers, who have sex with underage boys." Word is getting out that women are not the persecuted saints that feminists claim they are. I've often seen it stated that when adult women and boys have sex, the boys want it. Well... that is the nature of statutory rape -- an adult with a willing child or adolescent who, according to the law, can't give informed consent. This is the first time that I've seen it unequivocally pointed out that in cases of statutory rape of girls by men, the girl also wants it, though, according to law, she is too young to give informed consent.


The article also points out "...the courts are reluctant to punish women as harshly as men convicted of similar crimes. Whereas male abusers of girls routinely receive sentences of 15 to 20 years, women often avoid jail." The fact is sickening, but at least the word is getting out. It's incredible that these people still imagine that they're oppressed.

UN Election Chief Fired for Sexual Harassment

Well I didn't think this was possible-- a female sexual harrasser, and a sort of queen harasser at that! Wait, it must be a conspiracy to get rid of her... yeah, that's it. I mean, women can't sexually harass anyone, can they? It's just not possible... or is it?

Woman Gets Three Years For False Accusation

RandomMan writes "Finally, a bit of justice. It appears that a woman has received a relatively harsh prison sentence for perjury for falsely accusing her ex of rape to "get back at him". Story here. Of course another woman had to come forward to get the man out of 8 months of wrongful detention, but progress is progress."

Nokia Capitalizes on Misandry

MANN admins received a note from a reader who corresponded with Nokia customer service over a TV ad they are airing that features a Nokia user gloating merrily over how she uses her phone to exorcise ex-boyfriends from her life. Needless to say, the same kind of ad is unlikely ever to appear with the sexes revesed. So far Nokia hasn't acknowledged the capitalization off of misandry that this ad represents. In fact, it appears as if this ad or a tale very much like it is prominenetly featured on Nokia's website, here, as "Jill's story"-- have a look.

Alas this is just one of many instances of ads made by companies that seek to make appeals to misandry (either directly or indirectly) in an effort to sell products and services. And, I know many of us here who visit MANN are sick to death of it. So I encourage MANN readers to write pointed, respectful, but honest faxes and emails (communication.corp@nokia.com) regarding Nokia's attempt to capitalize off of anti-male sentiment in society. Also mentioning how you feel about purchasing their products and services will assuredly help - big corporations think with their wallets since profit seems to be all they are concerned with. Their contact page is found here.

Twisted Statistics Against Fathers

Dittohd writes "
This
is very interesting because the people whose statistical findings were twisted in a PBS program called "Breaking the Silence," detail how their research was totally twisted. The progress of the Glenn Sacks campaign against the "Breaking the Silence" PBS showing can be found on his website). "Breaking the Silence" gave the impression that only men abuse children and all men who try to get custody of their children in divorce proceedings are child abusers.

In this article, the research organization gives their actual research findings which everyone here should find heartening."

Where Are the Boys?

Tumescent writes "According to this story boys and men are losing the battle. This has been part of the feminists' plan-- to discourage and discriminate against boys and men in education to the point that they simply drop out. Then blame is placed on the boys themselves."

Interesting Twist in a Rape Trial

Tumescent writes "Here is an interesting story about an unusual ruling in a rape case in Oregon where the tables were turned. The males in the case were on trial and were acquitted and the woman was then charged and convicted of filing a false police report. This is the second time this has occurred in Oregon recently and it may be show a trend in acknowledging that false rape accusations occur and should be dealt with."

Backhanded Extortion?

Just when you thought that the world couldn't get any loopier, this comes along.


Across much of the world, especially the developed world, women have gotten their wish to legally abort. Now that abortion is contributing to a catastrophic collapse of fertility rates, and resultant population aging and population collapse -- in Russia there are now more abortions than births and the country is losing nearly a million people a year, MPs in Italy are on the verge of paying women not to abort. (This isn't the first case of paying women to have children, but it's the first time I've seen it called what it often is -- paying women not to abort their children.)


As far as I know, it was zenpriest, who coined the term "prostimum". Interesting word.
