The Rising: Tanks on the streets of London. F4J

Raymond Cuttill writes "A tank is to lead over a thousand fathers in a march in London tomorrow (Wednesday 22 October) to demand a legal right to see their kids. The fathers, who say they have been discriminated against by the Family Courts, are members of Fathers 4 Justice (F4J), a radical campaign group that has stormed into the headlines thanks to a series of high profile protests, including 200 Father Christmases in one protest and Men In Black sit-in in another.

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!"

TWO Network Shows Address Paternity Fraud!

amperro writes "On Sunday (10/12)ABC's "The Practice" ran the first of a two-parter concerning a man whose wife was cheating on him. She reveals to him that his children were in fact fathered by another man.
On Tuesday (10/14)CBS's "The Guardian" ran an episode about a couple suing a fertility clinic because the wife's eggs were fertilized with another man's sperm. Later it is revealed she had an affair and the clinic was not at fault.
Why doesn't Congress have the guts that Hollywood seems to be showing when addressing this issue?"

Men are going to extinct...

Anonymous User writes "

Seriously, what is the media's interest in this topic? Why is it every article on this issue always has to include some little snide comment on what a wonder step forward this will be?

Why is it so hilarious to muse about the genetic withering of half the populace? If I were to welcome the devestation of the world's black population via HIV, what would that say about my character?"

If MEN have all the POWER.....

JohnC. writes "If MEN have all the POWER, how come WOMEN make the RULES?

- You keep hearing that “It’s a man’s world”
and “women are oppressed,”
but it sure doesn’t seem that way to you.

- Is “something wrong with you”?
- Do you have “an emotional problem”?

- Are you going crazy?

- Or is maybe something else going on,
something you’re not supposed to think,
and certainly not talk about?

- This book lays it out in plain language
with vivid images and examples
to help you see clearly what’s really going on
between men and women.

-And why you’re right for thinking something
is very, very wrong...

When Your Partner Cheats...

JohnC. writes "When Your Partner Cheats
By Karen Berney -

Few events cause as much turmoil in a marriage as

infidelity, which can reduce a marriage to rubble,

shattering trust and creating a breeding ground for

insecurity, mistrust and resentment.


Peggy Vaughan, author of The Monogamy Myth, estimates

that 60 percent of husbands and 40 percent of wives

will have an affair at some point in their marriage.

Washington Post champions dating dishonesty

Matt writes "... ahh, they pine for the good ol' days, don't they, when women and girls could flirt and lead men on and not be held responsible in any way for it. (Well, they still can.) But now should that noble and lofty paradigm be challenged in the least, they are crying bloody murder and once again blaming boys and men (in this case, boys in particular).

I can tell them why the boys are not interested in dating-- the short version: why bother? It wastes the boys'/men's time and money for the most part and leads eventually to a lot of whining about commitment (which isn't really commitment when half of marriages end in divorce, these being largely intitiated by the female). What, do they think we're so stupid as to keep walking into this trap again and again? Maybe today's adolescent boys, after seeing what has happened to their fathers and uncles, are wisely saying no to the relationship/marriage trap.

The boycott will continue until men get their rights back!"
