At this point I wouldn't have kids to save my own bloody life. Look at this will you. Apparently, in CA anyway, a mother can abandon a baby anyplace and as long as she calls for pick-up, it's OK. If a man did that, he'd be toast.

Barf.

Marc writes "Aside from all the randomized surveys showing that men and women initiate DV at the same rates (like in Fiebert's bibliography here and Linda Kelly's law review journal in PDF format), sometimes it is also very useful to cite local and state police reports and other "archival" data in one's advocacy for male victims in civil rights lawsuits, lobbying or other advocacy. Below are some California stats from an online State of California source that can be very useful in this regard. Marc

Economist R. Mark Rogers of Economic Consulting wrote a concise and insightful rebuttal of the NH Child Support Guidelines in PDF format. Not only are the guidelines full of inconsistencies and unfair burdens (mostly to the disadvantage of the non-custodial parent), but it turns out that the current NH guidelines do not even use the sliding percentage of income scale that the NH DHHS recommended, but instead are based on a fixed percentage of income with no cap. At only 11 pages, this document is a quick read and I hope will it inspire others to investigate child support guidelines in other states and form rebuttal strategies.

NextEntity writes "News on the British front shows that more women are wealthy than men now. Now new and improved with glib quotes, statistics and an ending along the lines of:

"Once upon a time little girls on both sides of the Atlantic may have dreamed about marrying a millionaire. These days they're dreaming about running their own companies. Will little boys dream about marrying them?"

How long before the tired old hat of rich men being the oppressors and evil bastards gets retired in favor of the opposite?

from the horse's....ah....mouth is Judge D. Michael "Mickey" Foellger who gained 15 minutes of fame by ordering a man to be sterilized or go to jail for not being able to pay child support.

Notice how he always refers to men's sexual indescretion in cases he cites but never the women's. Also, he never acknowledges that women unlike men can abort their parental responsiblities before the child is born.

If anyone knows how to contact him let us know."

Well, you could just look at the fifth result over here and reach for the phone....

A_level_student_needing_help writes "As an A level sociology student I am interested in completing a piece of coursework detailing the underacheivement of males in the education system. Why is it? I need to include some parliamentary acts passed within the last centuary to support this argument. If anyone has any ideas that I may find useful please post on this site. Any contribution whatsoever would be appreciated, and I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks."

"The DPD is posting pictures on its Web site of people busted for allegedly soliciting prostitution.""



"It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free Country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective Constitutional spheres; avoiding in the exercise of the Powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real despotism." - Hamilton Abert Long

Is this really so unexpected? The US Supreme Court dismissed the case of the father who sued the school district of the school his daughter was attending to allow her not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance using "under God". Regardless of whether or not you think the pledge should include that phrase, the point here is that the SC has affirmed what many of us already know either by experience or previous studies: fathers lack standing to make decisions for their kids. Note that the father in this case is in a custody battle with his ex-wife, the mother of his children. The SC decided he didn't have "sufficient custody" to give him standing. That he brought them as they are into the world apparently is not enough to give him standing.

You can bet your next paycheck that if a mom had brought the suit, they would not have dismissed it for that reason. Perhaps another, but not for that one.

Finally, a woman recieves jailtime for falsely accusing someone of rape. They even mentioned her name in the article! The 1 year sentence was awfully light, but it's a start.

CrimsonArrow writes "Look, I know this is article is a month old, but that changes things not one bit. Another poll of 2100 women was taken in the UK that suggested, 'Young mothers are rejecting equality in the workplace and preferring the idea of becoming full-time housewives - but not ones who actually do housework.

This is the overall conclusion of research among 2,100 British adults that says women are happy to abandon the workplace but not if it means spending all day at home cooking, cleaning and looking after children.'

Being married to these broads sounds like a great life, huh? *wink*"

CrimsonArrow writes "Here is something positive that is worth cheering about. From the Rocky Mountain News: 'My Dad Is A Hero, 6 Winning Essays For Father's Day. Awesome. Special Extraordinary. Committed. A Super Hero.'

'My dad is a hero because he does so much for me and my brother. He cooks, he drives us around, he cleans and he makes sure our clothes are clean. When my brother and I are fighting, sad, or upset, he tries to fix it. What makes him the most special is that he does all of this without the help of a wife. He does this all by himself because my mom passed away four years ago. I'm thankful to have a dad to raise me after such a tragic event.'

Read the stories of kids celebrating their hero: Dad."

Luek writes "Here is yet another story of a man who has been turned into a financial slave by the lunatic family court system.

He has been ordered to pay 81% of his take home pay by some blacksheeted bastard that answers to the name of Peatross. He will probably go to prison for this and not being able to pay for braces for his kid's teeth!

It is stories like this that makes one wonder just why we are in Iraq fighting tyranny over there when there is plenty of tyranny here."

CrimsonArrow writes "... so we can turn Amy Alkon off?! A guy writes in a simple question at McCall.com and proceeds to get blasted by a long winded femi-speech. Excerpt: 'Men want beautiful women. Women want men of status and power. Deal with it. This isn't some new phenomenon. Any man alive today is a beauty-grubber descended from a very, very long line of beauty-grubbers — stretching all the way back to the Pleistocene era. Likewise, modern women are hard-wired to be ''gold-diggers'' — descended from an equally long line of female ancestors who would have sold their hairy left knuckle to bear Joe Alpha's furry little children.'

I think it best that this guy take Bernard Chapin's advice from his articles, The Presumption Against Marriage parts [1] &
[2]

' ... with women, unless they’re without flaw, my advice is to ride the train for as long as you can, but let some other sucker pay for its maintenance and servicing, and always make sure you get off of the route before it reaches matrimonial terminal.'"

mens_issues writes "Two of the three main "headlines" in ABCNews.com today promulgate the wage-gap myth and insult fathers.

One is titled "Pay Snub: Why do most women earn less than men?"

The other is titled: "Daddy Knows Best? One father says he was accused of child abuse for taking his child off Ritalin."

As a bonus, I got to see a pop-up ad from Honda with the caption “My husband was raised by wolves.” Sounds familiar.
