Foreskin Products?

Clint O writes "I have ?'s and a story. My questions are about the legalities of owning and possessing (female cosmetic) products made from human foreskin. MTV's REALITY TV series "Rich Girls" shows Ally Hilfiger telling her friend, a teenage boy, how her mom's (or step-mom's?) product (some sort of facial product I think) is made from little boys' foreskins. The boy says "What do they do just collect all the foreskins from the little boys getting circumcised?". And it goes on. I think the series still airs on Tuesday nights. Of course I want something and everything done about this. The episode should be pulled, these products should b outlawed and Mrs. Hilfiger should be ashamed at least. Beyond the legal questions, what can I, we do about this particular show and these products? Thanks for this site."

Ed. Note: MANN readers, please post information that may be helpful on this topic, and feel free to add commentary about this particular episode of this particular TV show if you saw it.

Progressive Insurance's Latest Virtual Neutering

Dr. Dan writes "Progressive Insurance is thumbing its nose at us on TV again. A woman interrupts her husband while he’s watching football. He sheepishly takes the phone she’s shoving at him, because he didn’t bother to search hard enough for the best insurance deal. They make sure this male-stereotype incarnate has a facial expression making it plain that he’s a doofus. The commercial is entitled, “Bad Call.”


Progressive will keep up with this crap until it costs them big money."

article, a woman sleeps with a 15 year old boy, is charged with unlawful carnal knowledge of a child and gets a 6 month suspended sentence as she was 'depressed about the breakup of a relationship'. In this
similar article
, a teacher admits to an affair with a 15 year old female student and gets three charges of committing an indecent act and one count of sexual penetration of a child under 16. He's awaiting sentencing, but what's the betting he gets a serious jail term as well as losing his job/career?

RADAR Alert: "Curtis": Wife Can Break Husband’s Arm if he Forgets their Anniversary

Contact Ray Billingsley (the comic strip artist) and King Features Syndicate (which distributes the comic strip) and tell them the following:

  1. The Curtis comic strip which ran on January 18, 2005 represents mean-spirited and highly inappropriate humor.
  2. The comic strip reinforces a societal double-standard which warns, "There is no excuse for domestic violence" when the victim is female; but then says, "But it's perfectly fine for a wife to injure and maim her husband."
  3. Mr. Billingsley's comic strip is extremely offensive to the hundreds of thousands of men who suffer from domestic violence each year.

Boys Falling Behind in Education

Anonymous User writes "Here is an excellent article regarding boy's lagging behind girls in education. Please e-mail the author and thank her for reporting on this important issue."

Ed. Note: Fascinating, this piece, when Harvard's president is knuckling to the feminists (see here). He too can be reached by e-mail, at lawrence_summers-at-harvard.edu . While writing to thank the author of the article on boys' education, why not also let Summers know about its existence as well?

Not Exactly Romeo and Juliet

This story is billed as a modern-day Romeo and Juliet tale. But as I recall and as the article points out, Juliet committed suicide upon learning that Romeo had done so out of despair, thinking she was dead. This story's Juliet did not. Also, Romeo and Juliet were both a lot younger and had feuding families to deal with. No mention of that here.

Police and woman collude to extort money with false rape claim

SacredNaCl writes "According to IOL
South Africa
News, this woman was so bold as to attack the man screaming she would file a charge of rape while holding a soiled condom unless he immediately gave her money. Worse, the police were in on the deal and had delt with her 3 times earlier that week, but not had arrested her, and on top of it, tried to extort money from him themselves."

Women cleverer than men, says MP

bandersnatch writes "From the BBC, Women are brighter than men, according to the Labour chairman of the Commons education committee. Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman said there was a "danger" of being obsessed about how boys were doing at school. His comments followed a committee discussion about whether girls or boys found it easier to learn to read.
"My own personal view is that women are brighter than men," the MP said, adding that women now earned on average more than men as middle managers. He said: "We should celebrate this, shouldn't we? The brightest kids are coming through and they happen to be women."
And of course, there's been no calls for him to step down or apologize."


Ed. note: This story was published previously on MANN, but re-publishing it seems appropriate given the recent Harvard flap. The contrast in response is striking, yes?

Sydney Herald: Men should be trained as worker drones for women

Ric writes "Australia's Sydney Morning Herald, serves up this opinion piece: "If more men were supported in lowering their expectations of themselves to be clever in more practical ways, they might also be more valued by women."

The article suggests boys should be taken away from professional education in schools and taught vocational skills like sanding floors and fixing fences. This worthwhile employment will benefit women and cause them to value us again.

Not to forget "Women don't start wars" and "women are more agreeable socially". She forgot "women write self-delusional crap".

I have set up a protest page here
Please make them regret printing this crap.

Regards

Ric"
