Towards a "streamlined" system of justice...

CJ writes "Here is another example of feminist intent to remove due process based on gender profiling. A Lawyer for students at Harvard states: "it's a myth that only rape produces difficult ''he said, she said'' cases. ''In almost every crime, it's the credibility of one person that makes or breaks the case, whether it's a cop watching a drug deal, or a woman who's raped,'' she said. ''You challenge their credibility, assess their demeanor, and render a judgment. That's what the justice system is all about.'' This is absolute tyranny. A judgment should be FIRST based on the facts, and contributing factors such as credibility are secondary to the case. Last year Harvard attempted to change the school's sexual assault policy - making corroborating evidence a prerequisite for the university to fully investigate - this in turn drove (feminist)students to file a discrimination complaint with the department's Office for Civil Rights. The highly organized feminist movement of today is working toward a gender based standard of justice, and it appears due process and evidence is something that they regard as insignificant. Its time to fight back against the dominant paradigm that gender-socialism has become. Be active before the rights of men are all but gone.

Where are the men going ...

MrDave writes "
In recent years, I've often heard women say, "What happened to all the good men?" ... Fred Reed has one answer that I expect will
become increasingly common as feminist/socialist control continues to spread: Men are simply leaving ... leaving the USA and other Western countries ... and moving to countries where the culture still respects men. Here's a taste of Mr. Reed's recent essay on this topic: 'For a man of fifty, a sloe-eyed sweetie of twenty-five beats hell out of an angry menopausing gringa with a law degree. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but it is that way.' "

The Child Tax Credit

Neil Steyskal writes "The Senate is scrambling to expand the child tax credit because it was left out of the recent tax-cut legislation. This is a good opportunity to highlight the tax code's bias against fathers. Send a letter to your local newspaper. Here's mine to the Washington Post (letters@washpost.com).

To the Editor:

If senators are really concerned about those who miss out on the child tax credit, they will provide for fathers to be eligibile, not just mothers ("Senators Rush to Propose Expanded Child Tax Credit," June 3). Currently a noncustodial father may not take the child tax credit even when he provides a majority of the child's support.

Sincerely,
Neil Steyskal

Finding Nemo Father Friendly!

alphamale writes "It has been many years since I have come across a male friendly movie but "Finding Nemo" is a refreshing change to the deluge of female chauvinism that we have been inundated with during the past few decades. It is a wonderful story about a single dad whose son is abducted and the amazing adventure and gutsy determination the father endures to rescue his son. While there was one sexist rant about men and asking for directions, the rest of the movie is sexism free. A thoroughly enjoyable story about dad as hero. Just in time for Father's Day and well worth the price of admission."

Courage, sacrifice, and the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in photography

This may only be tangentially related to men's issues, since both men and women were involved in the struggle against the fires that devastated Colorado last summer. I still wanted to post this, though, perhaps as inspiration. Click on "VIEW PHOTOGRAPHY ESSAY" on the page that first comes up, or just wait for the slide show to begin.

Feminists alarmed at "masculinist" network

Anonymous User writes "I think that we all have noticed the increasing desperation of feminists who realise that the mens movement is starting to pick up momentum. In this article another feminist has noticed us and gone into the usual tailspin that happens when someones comfortable "facts" smack head on into uncomfortable reality. This one, however, is funded by the Canadian government to the tune of $75,000 smackers. In fact, much of what she has to say is true, so long as you ignore the negative connotactions that she attaches to it."

Feminist bigotry parading as progressivism

JackTakeyama writes "Hey guys. Just thought you might be interested in a series of essays by an unabashed feminist bigot on the frontpage of a purportedly progressive website. The latest tirade can be found towards the bottom of this page. Many of her other essays can be found here. The responses are even better than the essays.

It's stuff like this that keeps me (and a lot of other men I'm sure) from rejoining the so-called progressive community here in Portland.

The National Post enables men to stand up

rage writes "Check the following link out, How about writing letters to this newspaper to defend the masculist cause and explain we're not woman-haters ? Articles released on the National Post up to now about the federally-funded feminist report have shown some kind of criticism against feminists'behaviour concerning this event. They seem to want to let men express their point of views, so why not trying ?

But in my opinion, we must write to them as individuals and not as "mensactivism" members, we must not give the link of our site, else it could be viewed as inopportune lobbying...."

Bizarre arguments in supreme court decision

Matt Campbell writes "Washington Post columnist Michael Kinsley comments about a recent Supreme Court decision penned by CJ Wm. Rehnquist (or, more aptly, by one of his legal aides) in this column

Kinsley points out the sudden change of direction this decision constitutes away from Rehnquist's bias toward state soverignty and instead, in this case, toward pan-state applicability of federal laws regarding employment. While Kinsley never comes out and says it, it is clear that a massive exception in that direction was made in this case dealing with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 because the matter of gender was introduced into it. The decision may very well amount to a good substantive effect: state workers get the same FMLA benefits as federal workers get. But the disturbing thing about the ruling is the overwhelming pro-feminist sentiment in the wording of the decision. Gender issues and speculative opinions are dragged into a ruling wherein it is clearly not even relevant. This is a further example of the degredation of reasoning and retaining principle of scope when applying and interpreting laws in favor of gender-feminist hysteria.

I can't help but speculate the aide who actually wrote this decision was a 24-year-old female Harvard Law graduate.

The full decision is

Mens Activism Success

Canadaman writes "I have found that most of my kids videos teach children to fit into to sterotype roles and put the value mainly on the mother as the household figure. I was proud to see that mens activism has made an effect on the Disney conquered world of childrens entertainment. There is this show for preschool kids called "Bear In the Big Blue House" that I think is great. It teaches real value of equality, not womens lib. Here's the web site this one is produced by Jim Henson Studios."
