No Indoctrination....

frank h writes "I thought I'd share this No Indoctrination web link with the group. The organization in question seeks to push back on the liberal bias that's so apparent in our colleges and universities today. I know there are visitors here who regard themselves as liberal and dismiss the notion of conservatives being better supporters of men's rights, and perhaps that's valid, at least partially. What's useful to note about the postings there (click on the "View Postings" link at the upper left corner) is that there seems to be a large percentage of them complaining about the women's studies programs. I didn't look at all of them, but of the number I did check, I thought that protests against women's studies was inordinately large. I also sent this group an email asking them their position on administration-sponsored claims of "one-in-four women will be raped" to which I have not yet received a reply. I will post it when I get it. If you know anyone in college, you might share this link with them, as I did with my daughter this morning. (No reaction yet from her.)"

Girls only program

TLE writes "I just noticed an ad on the local FOX TV station calling for girls from 8 to 12 to attend a free video film production workshop. The program is called Girlstart and has funding from many sources. The intent is to help ensure girls get good careers in technology. Of course, there is no boystart program. Who cares about them?"

"Rape Free Zones" at Penn State Fraternities

Anonymous User writes "The Interfraternity Council at Penn State voted to establish fraternities as "rape free zones", "educate" the fraternity members about sexual assault, and place optional "rape free zone" stickers on their doors. There is also an editorial from the student newspaper commenting on this plan, justifying the feminist idea that "all men are rapists". This is similar to an incident a few years ago when the campus "Men Stopping Rape" group placed urinal splashguards on campus reading “You Hold the Power to Stop Rape in Your Hands.” as well."

Assemblywoman Rebecca Cohn

frank h writes "Okay, this probably isn't really BIG news, but it is unusual: A woman elected to state office being accused of sexual harassment, by some of her aides. I've always wondered why it is that this and related indiscretions by men are big news, while women who stray across the line are given a pass. Have any of you wondered when a woman elected to office was going to have an affair exposed by the media? (Don't believe for a minute they don't happen!)"

It's certainly possible for someone to be oversensitive about what they perceive as sexual harassment. Nevertheless, I'm sure harassment can be severe enough create a horrible, untenable situation for the target. This article highlights the fact that we need to bear a few things in mind. Men are often considered far more likely than women to cheat in relationships, despite the fact that every survey and study I've seen for the last few years (sorry, I don't have links handy) has indicated that women are at least as likely to cheat. Men are generally considered far more likely than women to commit domestic violence, despite the fact that studies consistently show that women commit at least as much DV against men as men do against women, women initiate the domestic violence more often than men do, and women commit most DV against children.

I wouldn't doubt that, if the truth ever comes out about sexual harassment in and out of the workplace, we'll find that women commit at least as much as men.

Glenn Sacks vs. Michael Moore

Anonymous User writes "Glenn Sacks blasts best-selling author Michael Moore's manbashing in his latest opinion column, "Michael Moore, You Used to Be My Hero." The column can be found here"



Yep, It's a good one. I would advise you to keep a very close eye on folk like Michael Moore for the simple reason that as the winds of change blow our way, people like him will try to double back on what they said, and get all man friendly and the like. Of course, we won't fall for that will we?

Irish Father on Hunger Strike

You want to know what this is really about? This is about making men pay for sex. Yep, from alimony to child support and everything in between, men get thrown into prison for not wanting to be treated like a sub-human. I think I better get to work on updating my anti-alimony article....

Watch out MEN, Catwoman is coming

Thundercloud. writes "Any one seen many previews to the up comeing Halle Berry movie "CATWOMAN"?
I haven't either but I have seen snipetts of the film. and guess what? we apearantly have yet ANOTHER whip crackin' dominatrix type woman that will, You guessed it;, tie up, gag, beat up and hit men with a whip.
since the subject of anti-man violence has been brought up on other posts, I just thought I'd give every one a heads up on this little gem of a flick.
Frankly I'm sick to death of these types of films. and I wish there was more protest from men about them.
The film is to be released on July 30th 2004.
How long do we let this go on?"

Crunch time guys: In an age where there is nothing a woman is forbidden to use against the nearest man, and where a man can't use even the most basic self defense to defend himself, I want every man reading this to ask himself one question: Do I want to fight fair, or effectively?

The Words of a Former Prosecutor

In this essay, former prosecutor, Craig Silverman, states that "during my time as a prosecutor who made case filing decisions, I was amazed to see all the false rape allegations that were made to the Denver Police Department. It was remarkable and surprising to me. You would have to see it to believe it."

I wonder how many of these were formally filed false reports for which no prosecution took place.

Silverman goes on to say, "Any honest veteran sex assault investigator will tell you that rape is one of the most falsely reported crimes that there is. A command officer in the Denver Police sex assaults unit recently told me he placed the false rape numbers at approximately 45 percent."

The article is part of a dispute between Silverman and Jeff Shapiro, a former reporter for the tabloid "The Globe", who is apparently coming out with a book about the Kobe Bryant case. If you want to skip much of the stuff related to the dispute between these two and get to the former prosecutor's statements on the rate of false accusations of rape, seach the page for "For 16 years" and read that paragraph and the following several paragraphs.

Prison for Filming a Sexual Encounter

As anyone knows, if they've been reading the news linked from this site for even a few months, one of the few ways that men are able to prove their innocence, when they're falsely accused of sexual assault, is by providing a recording of the sex act. In this case a man was sentenced to one and a half years in prison and three and a half years of extended supervision for recording consensual sex acts. According to the defense attorney, the recordings were never shown outside of his house or distributed in any way, and there is no indication in the article that anyone disputed this fact or the fact that the sex was consensual.

By removing more evidence from the defense, this could prove to be extremely dire for falsely accused men.

A tale of Valentine's cartoons

mens_issues writes "Compare the two Valentine’s cartoons on the same internet page (courtesy Daryl Cagle of MSN). The “Valentine’s cards” by Ann Telnaes feature four abused/oppressed women. The cartoon at the bottom, by Mark Streeter, shows a man giving his partner an inappropriate Valentine card and gift. At the bottom, the man has been beaten up and wrapped in duct tape, while saying he’s lucky she didn’t have the keys to the Mercedes.

This telling juxtaposition can be found :
