Junk-Sci Update: Dentists Say We're Wimps

Dr. Dan writes "This report in the Chicago Sun Times begins, 'Put a guy in a dental chair, and he turns into a wimp.' That is the result of a survey conducted by the Chicago Dental Society. The tone of the article shows more amusement, than serious concern about male dental health.


One can only wonder if the reporter would have been more compassionate, or questioned the study’s validity, had the results been the opposite."

Missing Aristocrat's Wife Arrested on Murder Suspicion

French police have arrested the wife of a missing British aristocrat on suspicion of murder over his inexplicable disappearance. They arrested her brother too, apparently. Story here. The article's intimation is of course, predictably, that he "deserved it" because he was having an affair, or was suspected of doing so anyway.

Gee, guess that makes murder OK? Well, if you're female, anyway...

RADAR Alert: U.N. Conference Expected to Unleash Torrent of Anti-Male Propaganda

In 1995, the UN Commission on the Status of Women held a conference in Beijing which issued the "Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action". This document presents a distorted picture that focuses exclusively on ill treatment of women, while pretending that men's suffering does not exist. These distortions have served as the basis for male-hostile policies and laws throughout the world.

A Domestic Abuse Murderer Speaks

Luek writes "The convicted domestic abuse killer Clara Harris gives a rather self serving prison interview to the media recently. There are audio excerpt downloads of this interview available at this site too.

As you may remember she killed her husband by running over him with her car. She was given a 20 year prison sentence of which she will have to serve at least 10. And yes a man who did the same crime would have gotten more and probably the death penalty."

More on Koko the Gorilla: Third Woman Sues

I would laugh but it's so pathetic I can't. A third woman is suing Koko's caretakers over their request that she expose her breasts to the gorilla. Bear in mind, ALL the particpants here in this flap are female. [First post on MANN about this topic is here.]

Eventually though, I am sure someone will find a man to sue.

Men Don't Take a Wage Hit?

Tumescent writes "An associated press story is here
and probably in a newspaper near you! The article seems innocuous enough. It simply states the fact that women take a salary hit when they leave the workforce for family reasons. Well duh, ANYONE would probably take a salary hit if they took a year or more off from their career. That would probably include both women and men, not just women. Of course the research study was limited to studying women, not men. This way, the results could be viewed as being discriminatory toward women and they can be seen as the victim once again."

Man Can Sue Over Surprise Pregnancy

bandersnatch writes "From My Way, An appeals court said a man can press a claim for emotional distress after learning a former lover had used his sperm to have a baby. But he can't claim theft, the ruling said, because the sperm was hers to keep.
The ruling Wednesday by the Illinois Appellate Court sends Dr. Richard O. Phillips' distress case back to trial court.
Phillips accuses Dr. Sharon Irons of a "calculated, profound personal betrayal" after their affair six years ago, saying she secretly kept semen after they had oral sex, then used it to get pregnant.
He said he didn't find out about the child for nearly two years, when Irons filed a paternity lawsuit. DNA tests confirmed Phillips was the father, the court papers state.
Phillips was ordered to pay about $800 a month in child support, said Irons' attorney, Enrico Mirabelli. Scary stuff for men. Is there any surprise some men prefer masturbation or the open arms of a prostitute?"

Anonymous User writes "A married woman in suburban Chicago impregnants herself with semen she kept from her lover and gains child support. A court ruled that he at least had standing to sue.

You have to read it to believe it."

Testicle-ripper gets only 2.5 years in jail

Rob writes "We often hear about sentencing disparities. Here is a woman who ripped off an ex lover's testicle after she offered him sex and he refused her. Her female lawyer mitigates this act by saying "She did not use a weapon, only her rather small hands." She was jailed for 2.5 years.

A man who "offered" sex to an unwilling female and then sliced off her breast in rage at her refusal would be considered the worst kind of sex maniac. He would certainly be looking at 10 years in jail here in the UK."

Schwarzenegger Remarks on Women Anger Many

Ray writes "False accusations have long been the forte of California gender feminists, but is California's "Governator" burying his foot in his mouth so deeply, that he is hurting the efforts of men's rights activists in California? During Governor Schwarzenegger's campaign he was alleged by some to have groped certain females, and now some women are accusing him of "bullying women" Schwarzenegger Remarks on Women Anger Many . This men's rights activist can only wonder what legislation biased against males , he will sign next to try to appease the growing hostility of women's groups in California."
