What a thing to see in a typically FHM/Maxim - oriented site. I love it I love it I love it. Note, some points are made that even veteran male advocates forget sometimes. Good stuff."

I love the line:

"I don't really blame myself for what happened, but I still haven't entirely forgiven myself for the hurt that people experienced when they lost their jobs, lost their counsellors, lost their services."

Huh?

German court determines man is liable to ex-wive's widowed husband

Matt writes "http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=57 3&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20030911/od_nm/odd_germany_pe nsion_dc

Yep, you got it. A German court ruled that a man divorced from his wife owes her new husband part of his pension after she died. So a man is paying the man his wife hooked up with after she dies because she hooked up with him after they divorced.

Why does Yahoo! News keep putting stuff like this in the Oddly Enough category when it ought to be in a new category called Civil Rights Violations of Men category?

Again, stay single. Here and abroad."

Judge Rejects Draft Lawsuit

To quote: "If a deeply-rooted military tradition of male-only draft registration is to be ended, it should be accomplished by that branch of government which has the constitutional power to do so and which best represents the 'consent of the governed' - the Congress of the United States, the elected representatives of the people"
Hmmm, I got a few opinions about this, but let's read the article for now.

Men's Health Article on "Idiot Male" Sitcom Roles

Code Monkey writes "This month's Men's Health magazine includes an article about the way men are overwhelmingly portrayed as idiots and losers in today's sitcoms. While the author doesn't do much more than complain about this situation and offer examples of it, I do think this is a good sign that the issue is being discussed in a maintstream mag like Men's Health. The media does have an impact on our culture and we should care about the consistently negative portrayals of men as incompetent jerks on TV."

His Side: Father Spends 3 Months in Jail

Anon User Writes: "One of the greatest dangers men and fathers face today is the way restraining orders based on false domestic violence allegations are used to drive fathers out of their children's lives. There have been numerous documented cases of decent fathers being arrested for sending their children birthday cards, attending their son's Little League games, or calling their own children at the wrong time of the day. Last night Craig, a Seattle father of two who was sentenced to three months in jail for returning his ex-wife's phone call, told his story on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles and KKOL AM 1300 in Seattle/Tacoma. To listen to the archive, go to His Side"

Jury Nullification

Luek writes "http://www.juryduty.org/JuryDuty.htm

One of the reasons men are oppressed under misandric laws is that these laws have never really been subjected to the process of passing muster in jury trials where jury nullification could stop the abuse.

The link above has details on just how jury nullification works and most important tells how to avoid getting tossed out of the potential jury pool due to your beliefs.

Men in the movement have to be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to use jury nullification to stop judicial misandry when and if they ever are called for jury duty on cases like marital rape, violations under the VAWA, workplace sexual harassment and so forth."
