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.'"

As tempted as I am to go off on an editorial, I will let MANN readers do the honors. Read it and laugh/weep/fume/etc.

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.

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.

Ahhh, nice to read this after a long and tiring holiday week-end... good work guys!

Linucs writes "Reuters tells us about the latest news from the "nurturing department": "HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman who allegedly severed her 11-month-old daughter's arms and then called police to report the crime was charged with capital murder on Monday, authorities said. Police in the Dallas suburb of Plano said Dena Schlosser, 35, sounded calm when she phoned the department and told officers what she had done." Of course, it's always due to depression. Also note the usual lack of the strong words..."

mens_issues writes "This article is a rationalization by a law professor (Jan Laitos)
regarding the increasing arrest of women in domestic violence
cases. It appears that she can't accept the reality that women are
as responsible for domestic violence as are men. She is mostly concerned that the arrest of women in DV cases is "inappropriate"

chicago joe writes "An article appearing in the Chicago Tribune today explored the controversy surrounding the use of a testosterone skin patch to treat female sexual dysfunction. In the article, Amy Allina, the Program and Policy Director for the National Women's Health Network based in Washington D.C. states that a lack of sexual desire in a woman can be related to one thing; "Maybe the real problem is their husband is a jerk."
Here is a woman that is a program and policy director for a national organization and she finds comfort and confidence using ugly gender stereotypes and degrading language to analyze and procure policy in Washington D.C..
Anybody else find this disturbing?
I'm going to drop them a few words explaining how disgusted I am with their imature "Sex and the City" approach to serious healthcare issues. If anyone cares to join me, their contact info is: nwhn@nwhn.org.
Maybe they need to find a real woman to do Mrs. Allina's job because this teenage approach isn't working."

Luek writes "Here is an article about a woman who posed as a Saudi Princess and got a special big spender's credit card from American Express and maxed it out big time. Now she is claiming innocence and compensable injury because AmEx should have known she was a fake and mentally unbalanced and is suing them for $2,000,000. She is out of jail on $100,000 bail which she probably put on another credit card. Something gives me the feeling that she might win!"

this is not equality writes "Granted, this is occuring in the middle east, but shouldn't someone be calling these mothers out for abusing their sons by encouraging them to commit suicide in the name of allah...by using lies, pressure, propoganda and pseudo-martyrdom status?!?!

mens_issues writes "One of the anti-male Jared commercials reappeared on TV earlier this week. Please click on "Read More/Post Comments" to see my message to them at:

this link

"Jared has in the past run several commercials where the men who buy their wives Jared jewelry receive the incredulous response "He went to Jared!" In contrast, the men that don't are treated with disdain by their wives. Several months ago there was a letter writing campaign which targeted these commercials, resulting in an apologetic response from Jared.

For some time it appeared that these commercials had been taken off the air. Unfortunately, at least one of these commercials seems to have reappeared."
