bharati writes "In this article in outlook magazine in India it mentions that it is a crime to slap a women and then it makes old discredited notions about how Australian men abuse women . In another article in India however a police constable who has been regularly beaten by his wife is given advice on how to "Please" his wife so that she will hit him less. Different strokes for Different Genders I guess"

I almost always enjoy FredOnEverything. Quite often, the guy hammers the nail smack dabby on the noggin, and I particularly enjoyed this piece.

Fred makes a distinction between many US women and oh-so-many women of Mexico by saying about relationships with Mexicanas, "You don’t marry a hundred pounds of irrational anger looking for an excuse." Just tonight I was in the hot tub, at the gym where I work out. A woman sat next to me (it was somewhat crowded). I was stretching, pulling my left knee up toward my chest, when a large guy walked past me as he headed out. He caused a current that knocked me off balance and almost pushed my left arm against the woman's right tit. All of a sudden, I found myself struggling so that I wouldn't make contact with her. I knew I was facing a possible decade or more in prison. I sincerely wished she wasn't part of my universe.

Anyway, it seems the man in Mexico may have fallen in love.

CJ writes "The same state supreme court (MA) that ruled that the unique institution of heterosexual marriage violated the rights of gays/lesbians, and also denies the natural parental rights of fathers to be involved in their own children’s lives with custodial privileges - today ruled that the right for widespread public access of level three sex offender information on the internet including pictures, names and addresses is “an 'apt fit' to contemporary life.” This was a unanimous decision (7-0) with the understanding that this ruling violated the liberty and privacy rights of a person accused and found guilty of a Level 3 sex crime (and who also served their sentence). It was also noted and accepted that by publishing this information could lead to harassment or even vigilantism. Rulings like this open the doors for the further dilution of liberty and privacy rights of citizens as precedent has been set, and socio-political interest groups have been empowered by this decision. For issues relating to gender, father rights and male citizenship and liberty, this is a milestone ruling as it will likely start trickling down into lower courts. This is not an argument to protect criminals, but rather a statement concerning "what next?" An apt quote: "In Germany the Nazis first came for the Communists and I didn't object because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't object because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't object because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't object because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me." Article

In this article by the New York Post, they speak of her letters that she has recently written to her victim.

And in related news Thundercloud writes "Just to show that the whole fad of female pedophiles is not only on the rise but has gained acceptance in western culture, I submit to you the up coming TV show "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES", When this show airs this fall we will be treated to yet another relationship between an older woman and an under aged teenage boy. I am not sure how old the woman is supposed to be. I think she is in her late 30s, and the boy is supposed to be 16. Although the actor portraying the boy is 18 or 19. Which, of course, isn't the issue. The issue is FEMALE PEDOPHILIA and STATUTORY RAPE! and the fact that it is being celebrated, again and again in the mainstream media.
You can bet your a$$ that if there was a trend going on where men were RAPING underage girls,it would NOT be celebrated, pushed and submitted for approval by the "entertainment" industry. No it would be completely CONDEMNED by all.
this thing has gotten out of hand! We MUST start holding FEMALE pedophiles to the same standard that we hold male pedophiles! We must tell female pedophiles that we will NOT tolerate this!"

Slowly we are being turned into women and girls, boys are being drugged in school for dare I say "being boys" and now, if you are a man who behaves more like a women, you will be more successful! How wonderful it must be to be a women, it is not masculinity but femininity, see they don't have to change, we do, to become better human beings. Here is the article."

"It's not a cut-and-dried equal- protection violation,' said Carrie Hempel, a clinical professor of law at USC. "The standard for equal protection for prisoners is much lower than for someone who's not incarcerated.'"

That's right, criminals lose constitutional rights when they are sentenced, and here I thought they were losing their rights just for having been born male. What do you think?"

A.J. writes "This article is about young men and boys that are thrown out of the nation's largest polygamous community. Most opponents of polygamy characterize it as slavery for women and power for men but conveniently ignore the near equal birth rates for males and females. What happens to all the “excess” males? Many are simply banished for alleged “sins”. A quote from the article: “The worst sin, though - the one for which most are banned - is simply becoming a mature young man in a society where older married men are seeking younger brides.”"
