The Latest on "The Rantings"

TLE writes "It's been a few weeks since I announced my anti-feminist book, The Rantings of a Single Male. In that time, several positive reviews have appeared on Amazon. It's also the featured book this month at Mensight Magazine, where you can find some very intense excerpts. Darren Blacksmith has recently endorsed The Rantings and has published an off-the-wall conversation with me on his CoolTools4Men website. And now Angry Harry has the book listed in the UK. If you have read The Rantings, let's hear what you think!"

Female crime and punishment (?)

Linucs writes "From the BBC: "As the prison population rises, more and more women are being locked up. Critics, however, believe women offenders should be treated differently from men and now the government has outlined plans to build female rehabilitation centres as an alternative to jail."

Get this one:

"For instance, they claim that half of women prisoners - far more than men - have suffered physical, sexual or mental abuse."

I guess that men who suffered physical, sexual or mental abuse as kids should just rot in jail, right?"

UNH: Misandry Escalates: Patriarchy Bash

Palladin writes "
On March 10, 2005, there was a "Patriarchy Bash" at UNH. Posters announced it everywhere. They defined "Patriarchy" as men. For more information read here.

In my humble opinion, the main reason misandry is so popular in our culture is because we men are seen as a perfect target -- because most of us are gentlemen. If we protested, or started many hostile learning environment and sexual harassement suits, these scumbags would have quickly found another target. After all, is not "poetry" about cutting off genitals the worst case of sexual harassement?

I would also say that now it is definitly the time to switch off our gentleman mode and switch on our survival mode."

Male Easter Bunny Arrested For Scaring Woman

Luek writes "Just in time for Easter. A man working at a mall dressed as the Easter bunny was arrested and charged with harassment after he yelled at a female. There is noting in the story saying he made her cry so that is good news. Maybe that will reduce his prison sentence or make his chances for parole better."

'Dead-broke' Dad will sell a kidney to see his son

Ragtime writes "A man whose 'support' payments are set at higher than 100% of his income has tried to sell one of his kidneys on eBay. For two reasons, I just about couldn't believe my eyes when I came across this article. First, for the unbelievably sad story of a desperate father and a heartless mother and, second, for the fact that the story ran in a MAJOR main-stream paper, and was SYMPATHETIC to the father!

From the article: The 48-year-old car salesman is desperate for cash, $50,000, to be exact. It's the sum he owes his ex-wife in spousal support, and he believes that paying up is the only way that, after almost five years, he'll finally be allowed to see his beloved son again.
...and...
"I feel he's being held ransom and it's horrible that she's put a price on his head."

Meanwhile, the court system, he says, acts as her willing accomplice.

After months of her harassment, he lost his well-paying job as a sales manager..."

RADAR Alert: Washington Post Ignores Battered Justice For Male Victims

On December 16, 2003 Georgia beauty queen Sharron Nicole Redmond rolled down the window of her car and shot boyfriend Kevin Shorter. Three days later, Shorter bled to death.

Even though Shorter did not have a gun with him, and even though Redmond easily could have driven away in her car, Redmond later testified that she killed Shorter in self-defense. This past week the jury in Savannah found Miss Redmond not guilty of murder.

A case of battered justice for a male victim of domestic violence.

Snail a dollar!

Trudy W Schuett writes "We're launching a campaign at the DesertLight Journal called "Snail a Dollar" to benefit the Domestic Abuse Men's Helpline.
DAHM is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS. Here's their website:
http://www.batteredmenshelpline.org/

They are the only nationwide agency serving male victims of domestic violence. As awareness of the full problem grows, and men needing help become more willing to ask, DAHM's resources are ever-more depleted. They depend entirely on private donations to keep the service running. They are restricted from accessing any of the billions of dollars in federal, state, or local government funding because they help men.

Most state and federal funding is reserved for member programs of state domestic violence coalitions. DAHM has been refused membership in their state’s coalition, because their services are primarily focused on male victims.

It’s up to the private sector now to help men!

Battered Justice, all right...

.. at least as far as the truth goes. The Washington Post has done it again. The author's article ends with the usual appeal to governmental chivalry with:


In fact, the history of profound gender inequality in the government's treatment of wife-beating makes the problem one of core constitutional concern. No less than police brutality, this kind of passive misconduct implicates fundamental civil rights.

Actually it's more the other way 'round really. Has a battered woman ever been made to ride backward on a donkey while crowds threw garbage at her (search on "donkey" to get to the relevant text on the page)?

See menweb.org and mediaradar.org for more resources on this topic. Also, you can read about the author of the Post article here; her e-mail address is jmeier-at-law.gwu.edu.

Eligible? How much money have you got?

AngryMan writes "When the UK recently passed the Freedom of Information Act, Angela Wright decided to use it to find a husband. She has a thing about police officers, and she emailed her local police headquarters asking for details of "eligible bachelors within Hampshire constabulary between the ages of 35 and 49 and details of their email addresses, salary details and pension values".

Got to make sure you get your hands on the money, Angela.

Want to know why most high-earners are men? Because men work harder. Why? Because they know that their value in the marriage marketplace depends on how much they earn.

Don't believe me? Ask Angela."

Different sentences for similar crimes

Steven Brown writes "Spot the difference!

Story 1:


"A man who murdered his partner in front of her two daughters has been jailed for life..."

Story 2:


"A teenage girl who killed her fiancée after he admitted having sex with her friend on the night he died has been sentenced to eight years in custody."

Incredible..."

Women Want Another Pass

Tumescent writes "Some of the issues pointed out in this article are really over the top.

"Most imprisoned women, and relatively few imprisoned men, leave behind children for whom they were the sole primary caretaker. The separation can be shattering for mothers, who may lose parental rights, and for children, thousands of whom are placed in foster care at state expense."

Oh cry me a river. If these women were at all concerned about their children they wouldn't be out possessing and selling drugs or hanging out with those that do. To use the screwed up child custody laws to rationalize why they should not do the same time for the same crime is really amazing. It's hard to fathom how their position on this can be deemed anything be laughable."

What Chutzpuh!

Dittohd writes "World Net Daily reported on Robert Blake's acquittal but just couldn't hold back their misandry. Notice their last sentence of the article, "...(he) had been described by both sides in the case as a career con artist."

This is is same media outlet that cheered Clara Harris after killing her husband because he cheated on her and didn't correct "his" problem.

I'm presently trying to decide whether or stop my subscription to their Whistleblower magazine and request a refund for the rest of that subscription or just to not renew when the subscription expires.

What blatant bias! Absolutely disgusting!"

"Miss Savannah" Acquitted of Murder

The verdict is in. It's open-season not just on unfaithful husbands but boyfriends/fiances, too. Sort of reminds me of what NOW and the like complain about happening in Middle Eastern countries, only in this case, it's the males in danger of getting killed by the females, and it's happening here in the West.

As always, she claims she was being abused.
