I don't really know where to post this...but,
I'm new to this site but not new to the ideas. Everything that is on here I have thought about at one time or another and I cannot help but to be filled with rage by the injustices men are faced with today. Everytime I hear one of my female friends brag that she has been pulled over 15 times for speeding and never gotten more then a verbal warning, everytime I hear just one more dictating, power-hungry feminist speak about the gender gaps, everytime I hear another court decision unfairly ruled in favor of a woman, I become angry and inspired to make change all in an instant. I look forward to being apart of this movement."

For years we've heard gleeful titters from feminists about how defects in the Y chromosome can't be repaired. Every other chromosome is paired and can take information from its partner to correct faults. The Y chromosome, having no match, has been cast as inferior, unable to correct its damaged genes. It has even been stated that the chromosome and, therefore, men would disappear in about a million years.

Well knock me over with a feather. Guess what? That clever bit of genetic information that makes a man a man seems to have a way of solving the dilemma. It just works things out on its own! Problem solving on one's own can be difficult, of course, and in this case causes trouble in one out of every several thousand boys, but "'Y chromosomes really have a big trick up their sleeves,' said David Page of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Mass."

Take a look and have yourselves a good laugh of satisfaction. The Y chromosome is not the decaying piece of trash that feminists would have us believe. It just solves problems in its own way.

Chas writes "Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, is favourably considering proposals for changing child custody laws in favour of equal parenting provisions. Much of the impetus for change has come from within his own coalition government. "The Australian" newspaper reports that "Mr Howard told Coalition MPs yesterday he was "interested in the broad concept" of rebuttable joint custody – where the court presumes a child should spend equal time living with each parent unless there are strong reasons against it.

His spokeswoman said later that the Prime Minister was "mindful of the need for male role-models for children, and the desire for both parents to have continuing responsibility for their upbringing"."

Watch this space!"

I heard rumours about this, but now it looks serious. To quote: "Norma McCorvey, the woman whose 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case helped make abortion legal in the United States, today petitioned to overturn the historic Roe v. Wade decision." Hmmm, I think you might want to look through the soc.men archives before you make a judgement.

Neil Steyskal writes "Here's a very tough issue for men's-rights activists. An American women isn't allowed to take her children out of Arabia. Try making the case for the father when he's a representative of such a repressive culture.

This week's MANN chat will be held on
Wednesday night (6/18), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. 
The topic will be "A Database to Track Feminist Hate Speech." 
There is a lot of male-bashing speech and anti-male hate speech
online.  Feminist extremists in Canada are asking the Canadian
government to href="http://www.swc-cfc.gc.ca/pubs/0662882857/index_e.html">monitor
and censor men's
activists.   Let's beat them to the punch!  Let's build
a database of feminists' hate speech and male-bashing statements. 
Join us at this important chat to develop a strategy for monitoring
feminist hate speech and publicizing it.  Invite a friend or two
to join you!   (Click on "Read More"  below to see a
list of some data elements that we can capture for the database.)

Anonymous User writes "In the UK the problem of man-bashing tv ads is getting steadily worse. I was particularly angered by the adverts for Wall's "Carte D'ior" ice cream. To summarise one of these ads shows a man and a woman sharing ice cream in the back of a limosine. The woman is dissatisfied with the ice cream the man gives to her (it's not Carte D'ior) so she quickly kicks him out of the (speeding) limo and sends him spinning onto the ground and landing in a load of rubbish bins. As a result I would like to recommend Walls Ice Cream for the "companies to boycott" list on the "standyourground" site"

CJ writes "

This article was prominantly featured in the Boston Globe and addresses many issues that are relevant here. Cathy Young has been doing an excellent job getting the "word" out on true gender equity. The domestic violence establishment still denies or minimizes violence against men, and many DV advocates are hostile at any attempt to even raise the issue. This article is very important information as our judicial system (through 30 years of feminist jurisprudence) has become highly biased against men concerning DV matters."

Thunderchild writes "Well, I never thought I'd see this in the UK !

The content may leave a lot to be desired, but the fact that it exists is a huge step forwards. The agitating obviously works !

Respect,

Thunderchild writes "Can anyone help me with an academic reference ?

I am writing a letter to a local newspaper which has printed a very biased view of domestic violence and I am looking for the study/studies where the attitudes of young men and women were quoted.
I remember that one of the tags was that young men thought that when a woman 'led a man on' he should not be charged with rape !!

Please help

zenpriest writes "Most of you by now are probably familiar with Simone de Beauvior's famous pronouncement that no woman should be allowed the choice to stay home and take care of her children, because too many women would take it. Well, it seems that her disciples are in positions of enough power in the UK to decree that this will be so.

"The call for mothers to work is made in a 76-page document from the Women and Equality Unit, which is responsible to Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt."

In the interests of leveling the playing field, let's all get behind Hillary for president and let her also implement the priniciple that the "village" can raise children better than their mothers can."

zenpriest writes "Is that cracking sound I hear the camel's back giving way? In this historic week: in addition to Canada declaring same sex marriage to be the unlegislated law of the land, Joan Lunden has proven that the inconvenience
of going through pregnancy is not required to be a mother (go to any search engine and type in "Joan Lunden surrogate"), and NZ PM Helen Clark has decreed that lesbians can be "fathers."
By my count, that makes 4 of the 5 major English-speaking countries which have declared surrender to the radical paradigm in the past week. I can be a mother if I have the $$$ to hire a surrogate, Ellen DeGenerate or Rosie can be the "father", in Canada I can marry any of you guys, and in the UK women are going to be pushed to work so the village can raise their kids. Is the war over yet?"

Mark writes "Burlington Coat Factory has taken an interesting approach to attract female shoppers for Father's Day...bashing dad, of course!
In a new TV ad dad - of course chubby, sloppy and balding - messes up the laundry and messes up dinner while mom and the kids look on with condescention.
I am not sure if there is a link to this ad on their company website but I am sure there is a "contact here" link." Anybody else seen this?
