The Pinky Defense?

We've definitely made progress, when the sexual molestation of a child by a woman is called rape, as is the sexual molestation of a child by a man. It will be interesting, though, to watch the progress of this case. Will defense attorneys succeed in having Debra LaFave acquitted on the basis of insanity partly because of her cutesy talk involving a "pinky promise?"

"It's Still a Man's World on the Idiot Box"

Clancy writes "From Maureen Dowd of the NYT

"I honestly thought, eight or nine years ago, that when we left," Mr. Brokaw said, referring to himself, Peter and Dan Rather, "that it would be the end of white male anchor time."

Nah. Those guys are hard to kill off. Indeed, white men are ascendant in Red State America.

As my mom said, discussing her belief that Martha Stewart had been railroaded by jealous men, "If men could figure out how to have babies, they'd get rid of us altogether."

Orbital trouble for women!

Linucs writes "According to CNN, there's a new mighty tool in the hands of abusive men: satellite imagery. Don't believe it? "Cindy Cowan, the director of a Toronto shelter for battered women, echoed Rastogi's concerns, saying the technology could put women at greater risk of abuse. "Already the Internet has become a place where women are stalked, so to give another tool to abusive men motivated to find and track and stalk -- it frightens me," she said." Gone are the days when the simple minded "abusive male stalker" just stalked around pointlessly: now they will spend countless hours chasing their potential victims from the sky. Is this getting ridiculous or what? Will abusive males eventually team up with alien abductors? Makes you wonder..."

Another Falsely Accused Man Freed

After spending 14 years in prison as a child molestor, James Bernard Parker has been freed. His accusers admitted that he hadn't committed the alleged crimes or that the crimes had, in fact, never occurred. Note, however, that the article still refers to the false accusers as "victims." Who is the true victim, and who are the true criminals?

The article also states that "Police found no physical evidence (of the alleged molestations), even though children told stories of being tied to trees and fed poisoned ice cream. They also gave a wide range of descriptions of their attacker." In addition, "The Charlotte Observer ran stories in 2002 in which 15 reported victims and witnesses said the crimes never happened or that Parker wasn't the attacker."

2002... It's damned difficult for a man to prove his innocence in the US of A.

Debunking Feminist "Science"

Scientific American has published an article on David C. Page, who has spent a large part of his career debunking some of the proclamations of feminist "science."


A couple of worthy quotes from the article:

"The very idea of investigating the Y chromosome offends those feminists who believe that it serves as nothing more than a subterfuge to promulgate an inherent male bias in biology. And, in Page's view, some reputable scientists have even pandered to these sentiments by writing books and papers that predict the extinction of men--or the Y's disappearance."

and

"Biologist Jennifer A. Marshall Graves of the Australian National University in Canberra argues that gene conversion in the palindromes represents a form of 'genetic masturbation' that may not only fail to inhibit deleterious mutations but may even speed the process of the chromosome's decline. Page's terse response: 'Ah, rhetoric and theory unburdened by experimental data.'"

F4J USA Seeks Feedback and Participants

Posted on behalf of author:

Hello everyone.

I am working directly with the United States coordinator for Fathers 4 Justice and would like to hear from anyone that is being raked over the coals and that would be interested in becoming active with F4J on any level.

Many of our local groups tread lightly and speak with a soft voice and we have all seen exactly how much hasn't changed for any of us. While some are intimidated by F4J, as you have seen people are taking notice whether it is Batman or Santa, things are happening abroad as a result of their efforts and the time has come for us to get on board here.

We owe it to ourselves and our children to do whatever it takes (legally of course) to make change happen. If you are willing to be an active participant in a demonstration or if you'd prefer to be involved behind the scenes we need your help.

I can be contacted at MnDadsRock@aol.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cultural 'bias' keeps women off death row

A.J. writes "In this article Jim Walsh at the Arizona Republic removes a few threads from the lace curtain. He proposes that women are less likely than men to get the death penalty in capital offenses due to cultural reasons. A quote from the article: "In the minds of the jury and the judge, they don't believe women deserve the death penalty." The author can be contacted at: jim.walsh@arizonarepublic.com.
