"Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day"

Steven Brown writes " No discrimination going on here, no way...
Girls will get hands-on experience of work while those potential rapists sometimes known as boys will get a dose of this claptrap:

"learn about violence prevention and how to be allies to the girls and women in their lives"

Unbelievable..."

Norway Convicts a Woman of Rape

Indiana Jones writes "Finally some sense have been knocked into feminist-influenced Scandivanian judges. This is a major blow for radical feminist in Norway, but not far enough. Norway proposed that 40% of ALL its corporate employees must be women by 2007, right now its 11%. So basically from now on, all they are going to hire is women? What about all the male graduates?"

Ed. note: Re the 40% comment, a story is here. The article date is Aug. 8, 2002, however. Can anyone supply an update on this issue? Also, it seems as if the law in question seeks a 40% rate of women as corporate *directors*, not employees as mentioned in the submitted text.

Australian Men Now One False DV Claim Away ...

Tirryb writes "And another on News.com.au, which reports here that Australian men accused of DV can now legally be removed from their home even if they have nowhere to go to - and given vouchers to be used at cheap hotel room or caravan park accommodation... Gee, the future's looking scary...."

School girl punches her baby to death - and avoids jail

Tirryb writes "In Australia News.com.au reports here that a school girl killed her new born baby, but has been spared jail. Apparently she gave birth in her room, cut the chord, punched the baby several times in the head to kill it, then wrapped it in a blanket and placed it beside her bed - all to avoid losing face with friends and family. The judge said "I am satisfied that the interest of the community and particularly the interest of you are best served by you becoming a useful member of society, certainly not by going to jail,"

Just what would the schoolboy father have received if he'd done the deed..?"

"Some volunteers!"

Linucs writes "From here, "More than 400 young [Iranian] men and women have volunteered to carry out suicide bombing attacks against Americans in Iraq and targets in Israel, a militant group said Wednesday.[...]"Some 440 volunteers, most of them women, signed up today," said group spokesman Mohammad Ali Samadi."

So much for gender empowerment (more "victims" for the U.N. to complain about?)"

AskMen asks Why Do Divorce Laws Marginalize Men?

bandersnatch writes "From Ask Men -- 'Ask a buddy at work. Ask your neighbor. Even a relative will probably have heard of one. And the stories are always the same: she took his house, his car, and his kids. She made more money than him and he still had to pay alimony. She accused him of physical abuse and the courts didn't even ask for evidence."

NYTimes Outdoes Itself Marginalizing DV Against Men - Again!

There's so much to say about this, I don't know where to start! OK, gotta try: It minimizes the fact that the wounded man in the story was knifed (ie, attempted murder) by his girlfriend, and later that he tried to kill himself over her. It takes an opportunity to discuss several men's health issues (eg: DV, psychological problems with boundaries and women, suicide, etc.) and throws it aside - right there in the Health section!

I am sure there's more to say about it but I'll let MANN readers run with the ball.

More Black women with AIDS - Blame the black men!!

cnewbyuk writes "The whole "Down Low" thing has got out of hand. What amazes me is the fact that it is so easy to demonise black men, while showing black women as helpless poor victims of an evil animal. Below I have linked to a more postive and logical look at both the "facts" in this issue. The author also considers the reaction of the media (including the sinister Oprah), and the reaction of the US public (including black women). Relations between black men and women are already at an all time low, this is just driving us apart even more.

The Usual Propaganda

jim4146 writes "Okay Fellas,

I'm a newjack and feeling my way around this. Basically, I'm a happily married man with two lovely grown daughters. Want nothing but the best for them. With that said I am conciously aware of the legalized and socially accepted injustices that men face today. I'm sure this movement (Men's) will prevail...the question is how soon? Hopefully we'll live to see it. Anyway, I ran accross this link and am thinking of a good rebuttal for it. Not sure if you guys and gals want to do the same. Check it out...take care.

RADAR Alert: Stanford Law School Promotes Feminist Hate Speech

Did you know that “aggression against women” represents a war, and that “the domestic criminal laws are so under-enforced that they can be considered not there.” The speaker further explained, “International law doesn’t capture the reality that half of society is attacking the other half. This is a real war that has gone on for millennia.”

It’s hard to imagine a speech that is more inflammatory or hateful than the one that Catherine MacKinnon gave at Stanford Law School last week. The speech was sponsored by Women of Stanford Law and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.
