On August 17, RADAR sent a five-page letter (.pdf file) to Amnesty International – USA about its Stop Violence Against Women Campaign, complaining that the campaign violates the basic human and civil rights of men.

When Amnesty didn’t bother to respond, RADAR put out an Alert on September 19, requesting people to contact AI. The folks at AI obviously got an earful, because three days later – that’s warp speed for an organization like Amnesty – AI head Bill Schulz answered. His letter is shown below.

Tirryb writes "This study by the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia
has shown that drink spiking is not as common as was at first thought.

Women apparently often report to hospital claiming that their drinks have been spiked, "the scenario of an offender slipping a sedative into another person's drink, presumably to stupefy them in order to take advantage of them". Most of the study participants were women under the age of 25...

But what the study found was that in the vast majority of cases, they had either taken recreational drugs themselves or had not realised how drunk they were - no spiking ocurred...!

Sounds like this is another scaremongering uncovered to me..."

F4J Québec new coordinator Andy Srougy climbed the Jacques-Cartier Bridge today. He and F4J Québec want an immediate Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Quebec Justice Administration.

Well it's great they did it, an article on the most dangerous jobs. The author conveniently neglects to mention that the vast majority of those in these lines of work are men.

PARADE also states that 'paternal discrepancy' is highest with young mothers, because they are more likely to have multiple sexual partners."

bharati writes "First they laugh at us, then they ignore us and when they cannot Ignore us they fight with us and that is when we win.
Our modest success has provoked our openents into realising that no longer are we ignorable and hence the backlash has started and when there is a backlash we know we are winning."

Wasn't expecting the Post to publish such an essay, especially as it openly declares that young women are as *gasp* responsible for their lewd behavior as young men!

But as much as the author writes a strong, brave essay, I do beg to differ on this matter: young women are entirely responsible for their own behavior, lewd or not, as are young men for their own.

On August 17, RADAR sent a letter of complaint to William F. Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International. The five-page letter alleges that Amnesty's "Stop Violence Against Women Campaign" is factually erroneous and promotes the passage of laws such as VAWA that directly violate the human rights of men.

Neil Steyskal writes "If you read fiction and have been frustrated by the way feminist stereotypes dominate novels these days, get Robert K. Tannenbaum's new novel, Fury. In the past Tannenbaum wrote several stories about abused women, but someone seems to have educated him about the other side of the story. This new novel revolves around false charges of rape."

Kingsley G. Morse Jr. writes "The U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in the
famous case "Roe v. Wade".

Now the National Center for Men is preparing a
similar case.... for men.

Men should also have a limited time to permanently
accept, or decline, the rights and
responsibilities of parenthood.

No one knows how the case will turn out, but it
has already attracted a plaintiff, funds, a TV
network and lawyers.
