Wendy McElroy has a great article on how socialist feminists use their money, i.e... demonize and shortchange men. Much like in Canada where socialist health care it is interesting to know that a prostate cancer check up is the only cancer check up that requires a fee. There has been debate on this board about socialism as an evil, but I want to post this not as a negative response to 'socialism' in and of itself, but rather of how certain groups can run a muk with socialism as it can and as we have seen with capitalism or communism. The end result - men are being demonized unfairly.

warble writes "Paternity fraud victims have experienced a second major win, and they are just friggin out! As everybody knows, AB2240 was vetoed by Gov. Davis last year. As part of the veto, he issued an Executive Order to create a Paternity Workgroup. After five months of nothing, NCFM, LA took action and demanded that the Executive Order be carried out.

The result was that a workgroup, sponsored by the CA-DCSS, started in the last week of Feb. 2002. Prior to the first meeting of the workgroup, the opposition started a bill (AB252) that was designed to give them a means of subverting the efforts of the paternity fraud victims. This bill was worded such that it would have destroyed the efforts of the paternity fraud victims in seeking relief. It would have done this by directly attacking SB1030 and coercing the paternity fraud victims submit to the efforts of the opposition.

That strategy of the opposition has now been thwarted, and the opposition has been put on notice. The vote was close at 34 ayes and 30 noes. It is the abstaining votes that made the difference in this case. The paternity fraud victims are deeply grateful to the Dem's that abstained from voting in favor of AB252.

It is no accident that all Dem's voted in favor of AB252. We believe the opposition misinformed them because they were lied to and haven't heard the truth from the victims. The truth was that AB252 represented the interest of the opposition that was composed of a secret alliance who opposed AB252. Further, the alliance excluded the victims from voicing their objections to AB252 in the analysis that went before the Assembly Committee of Judiciary.

Finally, AB252 failed in that it did not provide any timelines, goals, directives, or specify which categories of paternity fraud were to be addressed by the workgroup. NCFM, LA has made it clear that we will continue to support the Paternity Workgroup despite its being stacked against the victims. This is to demonstrate good faith to the Dem’s and Gov. Davis. In addition, should the workgroup produce an actual product that has merit in relation to the issue of paternity fraud then Senator Ashburn will be most willing to amend SB1030.

Later!

Earl writes "Boycott "The Body Shop" anti-male campaign.
The Body Shop for many years has been supporting and solicting donations from customers to "Stop the violence against women".

This attitude is blatantly anti male; not recognizing male victims of domestic violence, blaming men for all violence and condoning violence against men by making it a non-issues.

Simply going into a store and telling the manager that they will not shop at the store sends a warning to the management.

Please pass it on!!!"

Granted, he's entitled to his opinion, but we should make ours known, not only to him and his newspaper, but everyone else. If this sort of thing goes unanswered, it will just open the floodgates to even more of the same. Now we know how the Jews felt in Germany before the extermination camps began.

I have started watching CNN with my son. . .the journalist male and female are extremely anti-male. Watch as they nearly jump out of there seat when someone attempts to stand up for a boy or man. Every criminal women must be a victim. . .Evey man is guilty and should be exicuted or at least extreme punishment. They do have an older gentlemen that attempts to look and talk about things realistically; however, the other journalist always and very quickly, shuts him up. My son is learning the dangers of being male in today's society and I will do everything in my power to make him understand that he is, the very good person he is. . .reguardless of the schools, courts, tv, or societies general anti-male sentiment. I teach and prove (thanks CNN) the real threat and dangers of dating (especially having sex with a)women these days. Men loose their jobs, careers, property, money, health, they are very regularly and often wrongly imprisoned to be beaten and raped, just to name a few. . . Nobody cares (society). I myself am afraid and have chosen (if I still have that right) to NOT get on the elevator with the snake. . . I'll take the stairs too.

This article in the UK Independent tells of how Nadine Milroy–Sloan falsely accused former Tory minister Neil Hamilton and his wife, Christine Hamilton, of sexual assault. It looks like she may actually do time for her monstrous crime. According to Christine Hamilton, "The whole thing was preposterous and false. It was a deeply frightening experience."

Now Ms Hamilton has an idea of how so many falsely accused men feel. It's also interesting that in the article's title the Independent refers to the horrendous crime as a "slur."
