Harvard student columnist discusses Paternity Fraud

amperro writes "I found
this article It is refreshing to know that the word is getting out about paternity fraud, even at Harvard! Still, we are not making progress quickly enough. Maybe men's groups all over the country should band together and persuade the media to blitz the airwaves with the paternity fraud issue."

Censored by Feminists

I was rudely banned from babble's board. They claim to be domocratic and open to debate. I for one never said anything rude or vile and merely presented facts that were contradictory to their brain-washed ideologies. Yu can see for yourselves what I wrote here. If you feel like engaging them in debate try to be open and polite using fact and principle. 90% of the men's movement will be in confronting the falsehoods and laying down a standard for fairness. I'm not asking you to troll I'm asking you to take a stand either on the internet or in your community. It will be a tactfull and principled battle but most of you are well equiped. All you really need is a good and honest heart.

The sexist death penalty, sexual abuse, and homoph

P. George writes " A gay man named Eddie Hartman was(?) put to death by the state of North Carolina last Friday. The prosecuter used people's prejudices against homosexual men in particular to bias the jury against him. This situation may be able to bring to light the sexist and useless death penalty that mainly targets men, and also the homophobia that seems to mostly target men more so than lesbians. It also shows the ignored but very real sexual abuse/assault that does happen to some boys.

Anti-Male Hate Campaign Kicks Off in PHX

Trudy W Schuett writes "Ads drive home message on abuse
by Susie Steckner
The Arizona Republic
Oct. 9, 2003 12:00 AM

Waxing a car. Pitching a tent. Throwing a spiral. Punching a woman.

A new public service campaign aimed at fathers will carry messages like this, explaining "There are certain things only a father can teach his son."

The campaign, like two previous blitzes launched during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, intentionally go for shock value....

A television spot, for instance, traces through adulthood a little boy who has heard his father repeatedly yell at his mother, slap her around and knock over furniture. When the boy grows up, he repeats the abuse in his own home. The lesson for dads: "He becomes more like you every day."

Full text is
here

The campaign comes from MAN, the Men's Anti-Violence Network in Phoenix, established in 2000. This site is loaded with false and misleading factoids!

Men Get Own Kindergarten While Women Shop

mens_issues writes "Isn't this demeaning? Reuters' "Oddly Enough" reports that "German women fed up with their partners' grumbling on weekend shopping trips can now dump them at a special kindergarten for men offering beer and entertainment." Interesting that there isn't a similar kindergarten for women who grumble about their men attending sporting events! The link is here

Letter from Farrell to men's activists

Warren Farrell sent us the following letter...



"On Tuesday a few friends of yours in California will vote for
children to have their dad only if you call them, and only if you
address your friends' unconscious ambivalence: their openness to
voting for me versus their desire to make their vote count. Here's
how they can do both:



Explain that there's about a chance in a billion that their one vote
will make the difference between the winner and the loser. But since
I am identified on the ballot with fathers' issues, each vote for me
can be seen, and delivers a crystal clear message to politicians,
"stop giving moms the right to children while making dads fight for
children."



In brief, their vote will tell politicians, "you can no longer ignore
dads". (This is the way the Green party forced politicians to no
longer ignore the environment.)



If your friend objects, "I care about children, not dads," explain
that since every child is half their mom and half their dad, a vote
for me is a vote for a child to have both halves of itself.



It's the first chance we've ever had to do this. We don't know if
we'll have that chance again. Please think of a California friend and
make that call tonight.



Warmly,

Warren

www.warrenfarrell.com "




Until recently I'd been offering a new challenge to you everyday to work for the men's rights cause by supporting Farrell. Election day is today! This is your last chance to participate by taking up Farrell's challenge and talking to any friends you have in California, or if you don't have friends there discussing it on a California forum.



"What did you do when a politician ran on a men's issues platform?"

"Nothing, I was tired and didn't want to miss my favorite TV show."

Unsung Hero

locksley2k writes " Today's Newsday ran a feature story about Pfc.Patrick Miller whom appears to be the real hero of the 507th, Jessica Lynch's outfit.
Although Pfc. Miller received the Silever Star for his actions, he was not promoted and still only receives $25K/year as a Pfc.while Ms.Lynch is making millions. True to form Pfc. Miller has apparently never said a word about it.

Jobless, single and male

That's what it says here and it's about the time this issue got some coverage. However, she does leave out two very important factors, namely the fact that alot of jobs get shipped off to third world countries for cheap sweatshop labour, and she neatly side-steps the issue of women in the workforce, which is a pity as you won't see the full picture until you look at everything I suppose. Still, it's a start right?

The pill for men

More news on the pill here, not too much longer hopefully. To quote: "A male pill is potentially the next step after the successful Australian trial of a treatment of hormones that switches off sperm production. The five-year study, led by David Handelsman of the ANZAC Research Institute in Sydney, involved 55 couples. None of the women in the trial became pregnant. Sky News revealed last night that the treatment was a world first, and Professor Handelsman said the method would eventually have men taking an injection every three to four months."

NH Men's Commission Now Ready for Action!

Foster's Daily Democrat printed an excellent front page news story on Saturday about the NH Commission on the Status of Men. The article objectively mentioned many of the injustices and problems we had getting the commission established and included some great quotes about men's issues. My favorite, from Rep. David Bickford, was: "For so long, it was politically incorrect to examine whether there was anything wrong with the way men are treated in society. To not even consider where men fell in the mix, I think, has had a negative effect on society...This will give people a chance to hear from the other side. Until now, information about gender issues has been very tainted and one-sided." Right on, David!
