AP News Wire Bias in Wage Reporting

The_Beedle writes "The Associated Press ran a report last Friday on the gender wage gap in which they claim that women earn less than men for the same work. Once again the crucial factor in earnings, the number of years an individual has been performing their job, is left out.

For comments AP spoke exclusively to women. They mention education, but fail to mention that women now receive more degrees than men. And for the finale the economist they quote equates single-parenthood with motherhood and argues that employers should be forced to pay more for less productive workers."

California's History of Politically Correct Group Attacks

Anonymous User writes "Here's a convoluted piece of writing, Politically Correct, Pseudoscientific Ideologies Targeting Groups of People in the Golden State that compares and contrasts California's past practices with present day practices in regards to the Golden State's "unique ways" of dealing with issues of "societally deficient" human beings, human sexuality, and "gender." Apparently, today's males have not been the first group of people to be systematically stigmitized, demonized, and persecuted by "Golden State" politics and pseudoscientific hokum. The details presented in this article, reveal a fascinating past and present for the "Golden State" that is a truth hiding in plain sight, yet seldom mentioned. Gee, I wonder why?"

Ray Blumhorst Cited in ChicagoTribune Article

Roy writes "Frequent poster to MANN Ray Blumhorst was quoted in a "Commentary" piece by Kathleen Parker (6.2.02) - "Blindsided by Political Correctiness..." an essay regarding the damages done to feminism by the recent Abu Ghraib scandals.

Ray's quote: "What happened in Abu Ghraib is no isolated incident, no abberation," wrote Ray Blumhorst... I have little doubt that all of the females implicated at Abu Ghraib will have little trouble finding jobs in the multi-billion-dollar VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) domestic violence industry, just as soon as American, gender feminist justice rationalizes away all their misbehavior."

Domestic Violence Batters Men

Ray Blumhorst writes "Domestic violence information is honestly reported here, Women who batter, and the men who fear them Male victims of domestic violence really need to be written about in main stream media, but rarely are.

Eleven-Year-Old Girl Slashes Classmate's Throat

CPM writes "Story here "The killing appeared especially shocking because of the age of the children involved and the fact that both were girls. "
The age of the killer can legitimately be referred to as "shocking", but there is nothing shocking about a female killer. The shocking part is that it made the news and that she was actually identified as female. There are many stories I see where a violent female is referred to as a: coworker, friend, acquiantence, classmate, or other gender neutral term. Many times even after reading the entire article, the gender of the perp is still not divulged - which is a near guarantee that it is female. They also had to throw in a couple mentions of young boy killers to show that young killers are supposed to be male."

Cartoon Strip on MND Portrays Violence Against Men

Luek writes "If you go to the Men's News Daily site regularly you will notice the cartoon strip Day By Day written by someone called Chris Muir. This strip has recently given in to the concept that violence against men by females is okay and humorous. The current one, as of 4 June, has a male character called Zed getting slapped by a female character because he sent a picture of her breasts, I think it was, over the internet.

I sent Mr. Muir this e-mail protesting his condoning of violence against men by females as okay and funny." See the Read More section for the e-mail.

Peterson vs. Harris

frank h writes "According to this article, Scott Peterson's double murder trial begins today. For me, there's no question: if he's guilty, he deserves his punishment. Put aside, for a moment, the notion that he's being tried for one kind of murder that women commit every day in this country. Consider, instead, the harsh treatment he'll receive at the hands of the media and compare that with the sympathetic way in which Clara Harris was treated during her murder trial. Ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you a true and clear demonstration of anti-male bias in the media."

Judge: Bush Abortion Ban Unconstitutional

3 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!

By DAVID KRAVETS, Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO - In a ruling with coast-to-coast effect, a federal judge declared the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act unconstitutional Tuesday, saying it infringes on a woman's right to choose.

U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton's ruling came in one of three lawsuits challenging the legislation President Bush (news - web sites) signed last year.

She agreed with abortion rights activists that a woman's right to choose is paramount, and that it is therefore "irrelevant" whether a fetus suffers pain, as abortion foes contend. The

article quotes:

"a woman's right to choose is paramount, and that it is therefore "irrelevant" whether a fetus suffers pain"

Matriarchy or Gynaeocracy is the Supreme Law and death and suffering then become "irrelevant.""

The Empire Strikes Back

Hunchback writes "How does the femborg fight back when the true face of domestic violence is being exposed? It latches on to a handful of sensational, well publicized cases; one of its reps sponsors a bill to create an "advisory board"; eventually the "findings" of the board funnel even more public funds into selected feminist-controlled coffers. This article depicts the birth of a dark star. The campaign was executed quietly, announced publicly only when the result was a fait accompli. Notice the background of the bill's sponsor and the proposed make-up of the board. Letters to the editor might forestall this measure from becoming a national model. Letters to the editor should be no more than 70 words and submitted immediately."

Degrading Hardees Commercials

Josh N. writes "Recent Hardees® commercials depict men as too stupid to select a loaf of bread or open a cardboard tube of instant biscuits, while a narrator’s voice proclaims that “without Hardees®, some guys would starve…” Aren’t we all lucky that Hardees® is making sure that the men of America don’t die of starvation because they’re so stupid? Hardees® though, is not the only culprit. For example, another series of advertisements from Domino’s Pizza’s promoting their Philly Cheese Steak Pizzas show a group of men teasing a dog by summoning it with a bell (a parallel to Pavlov’s bell experiments) so that the dog comes in expectation of food, but instead is mocked as a “stupid dog.” A few seconds later, the doorbell rings, and all the men run to the door making panting dog sounds (another Pavlov draw, this time equating the men to dogs) and are greeted by a pizza delivery man who says “No drooling this time guys.” Thus the commercial first takes the time to establish the dog’s intelligence as “stupid”. It next makes the men behave like dogs, so an easy inference can be made by the viewer based on what they’ve established about dogs’ intelligence, that men are also stupid."
