1,000 Thank Yous and Here's the Skinny!

Trudy W Schuett writes "First, I'd like to thank everyone for the many kind posts in support of my little project. I've had many equally-lovely msgs at my e-mail, as well. Please forgive me if I don't answer you all personally -- there are so many, and as you can imagine, this is a very busy time here at the desert outpost, as I'm still just one person! ;>)

I've written up a basic how-to at the blog, which will give some insight you into how I went about Phase One of what I'm calling "The Attorney General Project."


There are no secrets here, so don't be concerned that the opposition can or will attempt to use this against us. Because it is all based on demonstrable fact, and truth, it's not anything they can even challenge effectively. As you know, the domestic violence industry is based on smoke and mirrors, and as more of us who are determined that the truth be known embark on small projects here and there, the truth will out.

Something that is less well-known is that in some states (AZ especially) DV services are withdrawing from their state chapters of NCADV. The public statements made by the groups withdrawing suggest an ideological disagreement. If anyone hears about this kind of thing happening in your own state, please let me know! I will be addressing this as soon as I can."

Feminism has achieved very little for women

tjc writes "Women enjoy greater freedoms today because of progress in the areas of science, medicine and technology, not because of feminism.
/
Those who have doubts about this should try to imagine how feminist policies or attitudes could possibly have succeeded 100 years ago - or in impoverished places in the world today.

A Brief History of Collaborative Family Law

JohnC. writes "A Brief History of Collaborative Family Law
/
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world & indeed it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Meade, 1970 -
/
Lawyer Stuart Webb of Minneapolis, Minnesota is generally credited with being the founder of collaborative family law. In 1990, after 15 years' experience practicing "traditional" family law, Mr. Webb decided to do something about the frustration and stress he and his clients were experiencing. He decided to "unilaterally disarm".

Republicans Continue Male Persecution

Quote Ashcroft Attorny General:"Domestic violence is wrong and destroys the lives of far too many women and children. I’m challenging men across America to take the pledge against domestic violence. We must work together to eliminate the horrific cycle of violence," said Attorney General John Ashcroft. "This public service announcement demonstrates the Bush Administration’s unceasing commitment to keep families safe, hold offenders accountable, and bring communities together in our ongoing efforts to end domestic violence."

They will be spending 20 million dollars to make men look like evil bastards. Even if the comercials on the front look all warm and fuzzy with everyone working together, we know all to well the ugliness of the bureaucracy behind it all. Here is the link I promised.

THE POLITICS OF MANHOOD

CJ writes ""Not only have we Americans lost the powerful influence of real men, we also have universally accepted the counterfeit. Ray Romano, star of the award-winning CBS comedy sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, is the quintessential man of modern America. This is manhood, as represented by the social engineers, to all of America's children." This article outlines the plight of true American manhood which is under attack by modern culture, alternative lifestyles and feminism.
Put your "seatbelts on" - this is a great article...

Why Aren't Males Watching TV? DUH!!

CPM writes "Why oh why won't men watch our shows? Because they're fucking pissed that's why! I love how one theory is that most of their Nielson samplers(men) have been deployed to Iraq. That's funny, I always hear that it is "men and women" who are serving as if to get equal billing. If this is so, then it is also "men and women" Nielson people who are not home to watch TV. Crappy misandrist programming/advertising has nothing to do with it...!

Wash. Post covers bris ceremony

Matt writes "In the 10/18 Wash Post:

Washingtonpost.

This is a toughie- the challenge here is to call into question the practice without seeming to attack the faith of those doing it. If this can be done, since it is likely to get coverage vs. "routine" circumcision, bringing the issue up in a letter to the editor in this context could serve the cause of getting awareness of male genital integrity issues increased-- but it's a tightrope-walk, no doubt. No objection can be seen to be an attack on the religious context in which it applies, or risk distraction from the issue or worse yet, a further entrenchment of the practice in the name of religious self-defense."

Buy some mushrooms....help cure prostate cancer

napnip writes "It seems like everyday I see an ad by this or that company stating that it contributes to breast cancer research and awareness, yet I have never seen a company mention prostate cancer, until today! I bought a package of fresh To-Jo mushrooms from my local grocery store, and it has a logo on the package stating that the company is a "Blue Ribbon Partner" in the fight against prostate cancer! I went to their website, and it has some more info: http://www.mushroominfo.com/ If only more companies would do this. Let's write them and thank them!"
