Her defense? "I was abused, he was a workaholic, he snorted cocaine, and, perhaps most incredibly: it was self-defense". The jury didn't buy it."

Through it all, a common denominator of misrepresentations by women being taken seriously by the courts, and men's rights taking a back seat."

ahhkaboom writes "On its website, the BBC says it has issued an apology over the program "Bring Your Husband to Heel" after receiving complaints it was sexist towards men. On this show, a woman dog trainer used her techniques to teach women how to modify their husbands' behaviour.

Yep, the UK is just lovely."

There's only one week left until Congress reconvenes. This is a critical week for contacting your Senators about removing the gender-discriminatory language from VAWA. We've made good progress in the House. Now we need to make certain that the Senate's version of the bill is also made male-inclusive.

ahhkaboom writes "On British television (on the first episode of "Don't Get Me Started" on Channel Five), Michael Buerk dared to note and also criticize how our world is becoming feminised. He noted how masculine qualities are being forced aside, men are being forced out of the family, and how men are being feminised in various ways. The press, of course, has hated Mr. Buerk for these views.

Here, however, is a more fair view from the press on the program here."

Steven X Brown writes "Excellent article
here from Jonathan Gornall in today's Times. He writes (prompted by Greer's new book 'The Boy') of how it's almost 'acceptable' nowadays for grown women to abuse and lust after underage boys, whereas if the genders were reversed there would be an outcry

bandersnatch writes "From BBC News:

Many people argue that pornography is degrading and exploitative to women. But Michelle Thorne, who has worked in the porn industry for six years, does not agree. "I have never felt exploited. If anything it's giving you power over men. The only people exploited, if anyone is, are the men who go out and spend their money on porn," says the 26-year-old from Bristol. But Miss Thorne claims: "The people in this world who are really being exploited are those women in those countries where they have to cover up all the time and can't vote or anything. A woman's sexuality does give her power."

Her last sentence carries a deep resonance with me -- is it any surprise why feminists push for carte blanche privilege with their sexuality while constantly pushing for social / legal changes to keep a man's in check?"

Anonymous User writes "North Carolina wants to issue guns with their restraining orders. Bad enough throwing guns into a volatile situation, if we didn't know already that a huge percentage of restraining orders are falsified to get the man out of the house and get the upper hand in a divorce. The Gov has until Oct 1 to veto. How about sending him a letter? Story link here."

johnnyp writes "I am curious - how come the news media regularly fails to point out the disparity between men and women when reporting workplace fatalities, but never fail to report that women make less than men? Furthermore, when the income disparity is reported the media almost always fails to mention that there is no income disparity when you factor in work experience and education within job type."
