Global warming spells the end of woman!!!

Clancy writes "Great news, men. The faster the glaciers melt, the sooner feminism will die since there will be no more women to support it. They'll all be dead. And, as simple as it was to kill the Martians in H.G. Wells 'War of the worlds', as the oceans rise from melting ice, millions of women will flounder to their death because "...often women don't know how to swim, so in a flood situation that can lead to a higher instance of death or injury,..."

Could it be that simple? Discourage all women from taking swimming lessons???? Beleive it, or not!

How in the name of God's Green Earth can EVERYTHING that happens either naturally, or un-naturally, ALWAYS be detrimental to WOMEN????? Take heart O ye men of the world for we are immortal. We ALL know how to swim!!! BWAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAA!!!!!"

Mom Beats Student on Camera

Perhaps MANN should also add another category called "violent women", simply because there seems to be so much of it even despite the underreporting of it. Apparently she didn't bother to show up for sentencing in the matter either. Story and video here.

Male Birth Control

Anonymous User writes "A global sex survey reports: "More than half of men globally (59%) would be willing to take the male contraceptive pill - but less than half of women would trust a man to take it responsibly."

What the survey apparently does not ask, is what percentage of men trust a woman to take their birth control responsibly. I know I don't. Mayhaps, if there are two people having sex, neither of whom wish to become parents, both of them should be using birth control?

Why trust anyone, when it comes to such grave decisions, especially if one does not have to."

Internal Army Report leans toward women in combat

bandersnatch writes "According to this article, the US military is slowly moving towards putting women into combat roles in the US military. And the feminist response? Straight from the article -- "Female soldiers, including young mothers, should not have to pay the price for Pentagon bureaucratic blunders and gender-based recruiting quotas that have caused apparent shortages in male soldiers for the new land-combat brigades," Mrs. Donnelly said. "It does not make sense to sacrifice the advantage of modular organizations, just to make ideological points about gender equality. Land combat is not fair or equal, nor is it even civilized," she said. Sorry sisters, you wanted equality and gender quotas, you got it."

MSN.com asks: Is he a Scrooge?

Need I say more?! Here it is. Exercise: Replace the "he"s with "she"s and vice versa, then maybe add/change some of the activities that are described as part of the questions such that at least some of them are the sorts that men may actually enjoy doing, and then see what you get!

Ahh, MSN is sure keeping up its well-earned reputation for hating/devaluing/picking on men. Maybe MANN should have an "MSN" category all its own?

Domestic Violence at a Wedding

Anonymous User writes "Here's an interesting article. Why was the wife not charged with battery for having hit him over the head with an ash tray? If the injuries to his head could have caused him to react in a violent and confused manner towards others subsequently, could she not be held responsible for the entire episode?"

CBS 60 Minutes: 5,500 MEN have deserted the U. S.

mens_issues writes "Tonight’s 60 Minutes (CBS) episode concerned 5,500 MEN
deserting the military during the war in Iraq. It's interesting
that the media always talks about over 100,000 MEN and WOMEN
fighting in Iraq, but when it comes to soldiers deserting the
military for Canada every last one of them is a man.

Here’s the story:
