But it's supposed to be about fairness, isn't it?

The Gonzo Kid writes "From the `Things to make ya go hmmm Department:" I find the last line in this whole story very revealing, to wit: "Asked whether she continued the struggle out of a desire for vindication, or in revenge, she said, ''A little of both.'' That's right, you greedy female. Go after the kids from the second marraige. Well, in Boston, it doesn't even end with death, does it?"

Research shows that men work longer than women

Chas writes "Men are now expected not to stray too far too often. Out-of-home leisure - all-day weekend rounds of golf, days at the dogs - now has to compete with the new demands placed on men by their wives and children.

Is this true, and if so, is it a good thing?

Bettina Arndt is an Australian journalist who regularly examines men's issues and in the process frequently runs foul of certain feminists. In this article, in Melbourne's "The Age" newspaper, she discusses recent research which shows men generally work longer hours than women in paid and unpaid employment and have far less leisure time than they used to. Read the article here. The online reaction is worth looking at too."

Open Letter Protesting Canadian Feminists' Demands for Censorship

I have sent a lengthy letter to the Honorable Jean Augustine, Secretary
of State (Multiculturalism) (Status of Women), to protest Status of
Women Canada's recent publication that calls for
censorship of men's activists and organizations.  You can view the
letter as a href="http://www.imparl.com/mensactivism/docs/canada20030604.pdf">PDF
file here, or in href="http://www.imparl.com/mensactivism/docs/canada20030604.htm">HTML
format here.  I hope other men's activists will write letters
protesting this advocacy research and the Canadian federal government's
funding of it.  My letter is an open letter, so feel free to use
it for your activism if you find it helpful.  I'd appreciate an
attribution if you do.  Thanks.

Would a man get a fair trial from this judge.?

MrDave writes "Would a man get a fair trial?

In our culture today men are not allowed to denigrate women, but women compete with each other in their ridicule of men ... In our culture today whites are not allowed to comment about blacks, but blacks can say, well, pretty much anything ... This story in the _NY Post_ combines both of those ironies.

DV How Men Are Ignored

masculinism writes "G'Day from Sydney Australia. If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable. Under the Office of the Status of Women the Federal Government launched a $50 million dollar 'initiative' on domestic violence to be headed up by a department called Partnerships Against Domestic Violence. Now just take a look at the supposed "Facts About Domestic Violence in Australia" that underpinns this departments philosophy on domestic violence. Here is a exerpt: In 1996 the Australian Bureau of Statistics surveyed 6,300 Australian women for the Women's Safety Survey. The survey asked women about their experience of actual or threatened physical or sexual violence and found that in relation to violence by a male partner" 6,300 WOMEN!!!! What the hell happened to the survey on 6,300 MEN!!!!! Read the exact document here

MANN Chat: Big Sister is Watching--Part II

This week's MANN chat will be held on Wednesday
night (6/4), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. Recently,
Canadian feminists used Canadian taxpayers' money to publish a href="http://www.mensactivism.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1942254&mode=threaded">call
for censorship of men's activists that was disguised as
"research."  We began the discussion at last week's chat. 
This week, we'll discuss direct action that we can take to combat this
latest threat to men's rights.  Also, Scott has fixed some
settings on our chat server, so it should work much better for us this
week.  I hope to see you there!

SB1030 Passes CA Senate 34 Ayes/2 Noes!

warble writes "It pleases me to announce that SB1030 has passed out of the California Senate by a vote of 34/2. Considering the power of the opposition, it is astonishing to see this level of support for the bill. SB1030 addresses the category of paternity fraud that we call an incorrect default paternity judgments (IDPJ's).

An IDPJ results when a judgment is entered against a male who is mislead into believing he is the father, or a male that never receives notice of a paternity hearing because the mother supplies incorrect information. Currently, when the 6 month to two year time limits expire, there is no possibility of making a challenge to the default judgment.

This means that victims of an IDPJ will potentially be subjected to contempt, oppressive child support burdens, criminal charges, and jail when they refuse to pay for a child that is not theirs. This pattern will continue until the child is 18 or graduates from college. Worse, the victim of an IDPJ will learn that they are behind on the first day they learn of the judgment. The source of the oppression is the CA DCSS. It is radical feminist organizations that seek the oppression of men and the destruction of their families.

Often the victims do not learn of the IDPJ until there is a wage garnishment, tax seizure, damage to a credit report, and etc. That is because the DCSS relies heavily substitute service. With substitute service the notice of a hearing may go to the wrong address without the victim ever learning of a hearing. In Los Angeles County alone, there is a 79% default judgment rate. This means that significant numbers of males never learn of the judgment until enforcement action is taken.

SB1030 addresses this failure of the system by permitting the victims of an IDPJ to use DNA testing to overturn the judgment and have the arrears dismissed. The victim will have two-years to overturn the judgment from the day a wage garnishment begins. The advantage of this is that for under $1000 an IDPJ can be overturned. Currently, if the male is lucky they can do this for ~$5,000 if they discover the IDPJ in time.

The next stop is the California Assembly. There it will meet stiff and well-organized opposition. NCFM, LA will be working with the Men's Issues Coalition in California to lobby the Assembly in California. This is a tough fight, but it is not an impossible fight.

ifeminists speak out

One feminist group that refuses to have their voice as a woman replaced by totalitarian feminist dogma talks about 'masculist discourse'. Wendy McElroy delivers a piece with multiple links including the IWF's (another group of women that refuses to be silenced by totalitarian feminist dogma) letter to NOW. It has been my opinion that "feminists" have replaced women's voice for their own party line indoctrination. Regardless of my agreement or dissagreement with McElroy or IWF I feel they are speaking up for themselves more and more everyday. It will be women like them that will lead men and women to a better communication for eachother.

vicious attack gets funny headline

sick of it! writes "Some vicious women cuts off a man's penis... and the headline makes a joke about the wife giving her husband 'the chop'. on that page is a list of related stories where other women have done the same thing.
Maybe they will make this women a folkhero among the fem-nazis. makes me sick.

Cant imagine the journalist being so 'cute' if the man had attacked the woman.

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.
