Spain and No-Fault

Clancy writes "Blow to machismo as Spain forces men to do housework

It's not that I don't think it's a bad idea to help more around the house, but it's THIS that caught my attention:

"This will be a good way of reminding people what their duties are. It is something feminists have been wanting for a long time."

Pistons Player's Wife Accused of DV

Old Man Senile writes "Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I am deployed and have lots of work to do....lol.
I think its great more men are reporting abuse, but check out this quote from the
article.

Attorneys are working on an arrangement to have Deneitra Ham remain with the children at the couple's home on the condition that her husband leave the house and the two stay apart, the station reported.

I don't know if its both thier attorneys, or if its just hers. But I do know this, If it were a male that smacked a female in the head with a wine bottle, his butt would be in jail and he would lose his kids due to the domestic violence card being played

Just my 2 cents

Girls Savagely Beat Girl at School

CJ writes "
Four 15-year-old girls from Boston
were arrested at the scene and charged with unarmed robbery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot) in the beating where they beat a minority girl who was part of a progam that brings urban kids to suburban schools. Naturally, the article does not say that the attackers are girls unless one reads well into the story. Also, this took place in the town where 5 high school boys got expelled from a school because a girl gave them oral sex in a locker room (and she had been doing this on a regular basis)."

Injustice Call over Rape Case

Campaigners are calling for the release of a 33-year-old Aviemore man who is facing rape charges in France. Stephen Jakobi, director of the UK's Fair Trials Abroad, is quoted as saying "It is bewildering when you've got clear DNA evidence that no rape took place, or anything like it, that the guy is still in prison awaiting trial, three months after the scientific proof came back."

RADAR Alert: And Now For Something...

mbr writes "... Completely Different.

In previous alerts, RADAR has highlighted articles that present an inaccurate one-sided portrayal of the problem of domestic violence. Biased articles are so plentiful that it's often difficult for us to choose the one most deserving of an alert.


Sad to say, balanced portrayals of this very human problem are in short supply. That's why, when a prominent member of the media does recognize that women can be abusive and men do get victimized, it's important to let them know just how much we appreciate their understanding and support.

The Choices of Men

cnewbyuk writes "
"The Choices of Men" by T.S Tyrone

Truly a novel about male power and sexuality in a feminist age.


For the first time in a long time, I have read a book with 239 pages in a single sitting. This book is a joy to read. It's most certainly a book written by man - for men. Tyrones style is deep, thought-provoking and sometimes brutally direct. The humour in the book is at times delicously dark and enjoyable. Witty, sharp and well time and thought-out.


This is an amazing read!!!!!

The Rantings of a Single Male

JustSayNo writes "I like to read in the evening after dinner, but usually after a full day of work, doing dinner and helping with homework, I usually drift off 15 minutes after opening a book.

Not so with Thomas Ellis' new book, The Rantings of a Single Male. Not so by a mile! I got the book Thursday, read two-thirds of it by midnight, and gobbled up the rest of it Friday evening.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough to everyone on this list. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. In fact, I guarantee that you will be hugely entertained.

False Accusations

mic730 writes "My husband was accused of rape 2 years ago. After submitting to DNA and taking a polygraph he was exonerated. However, while we waited for the DNA testing I started wetting the bed from the stress of the situation and my husband became depressed. The DNA test showed the "victim" had 3 samples present but none of them matched my husband. She also refused to take a polygraph although she specifically named my husband. The police let us know that no charges would be filed against my husband or the "accuser." I am so angry that she could make these accusations and walk away. I have always considered myself a champion for women's causes and now feel like I should screen women beforehand.
My stress level of wetting the bed is no longer a problem but I will now take every claim of rape with a grain of salt until a trial occurs."




I normally don't post personal stories that get submitted without articles, but since this was an example of how feminist laws can even harm their supporters I decided to make an exception. Often it seems people have to be personally victimised before they start to see the bias in a system, and I'm sorry the author and her husband had to suffer because of it. I'm sure that if she starts looking at all the "women's causes" with a more scientific eye - looking at evidence presented by all sides and always with equal scrutiny, we'll be seeing more of her in the men's movement. - Hombre

Castration and tolerance at UNH

Philalethes writes "This event has been covered in a couple of previous stories, but I think this article is worth reading, especially for the quote from one participant, which pretty well sums up the phenomenon known as feminism: 'Hello, my name is Mary Man-Hating-Is-Fun. I am 23 years old, and I am what a feminist looks like. Ever since I learned to embrace my feminist nature, I found great joy in threatening men's lives....'

I am reminded of two other quotes: (1) 'If you allow them [women] to pull away restraints and put themselves on an equality with their husbands, do you imagine that you will be able to tolerate them? From the moment that they become your fellows, they will become your masters.' (Cato the Elder, 234-149 BCE) (2) 'The idea that women were repressed until the sexual revolution in the 1960s is absurd ... they were certainly restrained, a crucially different matter.' (Melanie Phillips, 'The Sex-Change Society: Feminised Britain and the Neutered Male') The reasons for the historical 'subjugation' of women are becoming clear: they will not (perhaps cannot) restrain themselves. When they are allowed to 'run free,' this is what results."
