You know, I am not too impressed when a high-profile political figure openly and publicly declares that an indelible characteristic should be consideration for appointment of a person to a high (or any) office. Oh yes, well, since she is referring to a person's sex and it's a "pro-woman" comment, I guess it must be all right then...

This week the VAWA4All Campaign has good news and bad news to share.
The good news is, our people in Washington are meeting with some key elected officials who are extremely supportive of our cause. That's very encouraging.
The bad news is, these elected officials say they have not seen or heard anything that resembles an outpouring of mass discontent with the current version of VAWA.
That worries us, because next week on July 19th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding hearings on VAWA. As things stand right now, the VAWA bill will sail through the hearings without even a peep of concern.

Dittohd writes "Several of the guys posting here have used this website in the past to rail against circumcision. Wow! They, along with the radio personality, Dr. Dean Edell, are sure not going to be happy to see this!
Special quote from the article: It was deemed unethical to continue the trial after an early peek at data showed that the uncircumcised men were so much more likely to become infected."

Ray writes "Wow! If this is a valid reason for a shelter official to resign (...assigning a characteristic to everybody of a certain gender) , then very soon they'll all be un-womaned, and not just in Sweden:
"After a period of intense criticism and scrutiny, Ireen von Wachenfeldt, chairwoman of women's shelter organisation ROKS, has resigned.
Von Wachenfeldt is a high profile and influential radical feminist, who found herself at the centre of a media storm recently following her appearance in the SVT documentary 'Könskriget' (Battle of the Sexes). In the programme, she appeared to state that "men are animals". But she claimed the comments was taken out of context.'"

Barry Pearson writes "Recently, there have been some newspaper headlines claiming 'Paternity fraud is an urban myth'. They claim to be based on some research in Australia. In fact, they totally distort the research, which came to no such conclusion. My description of the media errors is found here and here."

inside at some of the abuses occuring in our own US Prisons, primarily
against men. This footage is far worse than that coming out of Iraq &
Cuba. While I don't agree with all of their policitical views, the BBC did an excellent job in presenting their case here and it is definitely worth a look."
