An Excellent Response To A Critical Woman

Freebird writes "Devvy Kidd blasts American men as unchivalrous and lazy in this article: http://www.newswithviews.com/news_worthy/news_wort hy.htm and gets a response which echoes a lot of the feelings of the men seen on this board, including mine: http://home.iprimus.com.au/grahamstrachan/reply_to _devvy.htm

Until more alleged "non-feminist" women think about what their silence tells both men and feminists alike, the chasm between the genders will widen. Perhaps the fact that more and more men are turning away from women will prod them to finally speak up."

Contacting the Father

Severin writes "I saw this news story (http://www.uwire.com/content//topnews031203002.ht ml) posted on ifeminists.net and I was just curious what people thought about this. I personally believe that a father should be notified if he is the father of a child, so that he may be involved in the decision as to what to do about the child, and at least have the chance to state his case one way or another. But is this something that we should require by law?"

Yet Another Reversible BC Option for Women...

mcc99 writes "Amazing. This article discusses new BCPs that cause the menstrual cycle to be elongated to three months instead of monthly. The article discusses the many benefits of doing so while quoting some misandrist as follows:

"'Cultures have long had many practices to manage the taboo and stigma of menstruation over the years. You can see them all as ways of managing women's behavior,' said Joan Chrisler, a professor of psychology at Connecticut College in New London, Conn., and president of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research. 'Many feminists would say that misogyny is at the base of it.'"

Meanwhile, men still have the same-old options for birth control: abstinence, homosexuality, masturbation, condoms, and sterilization. We apparently don't merit the serious option of reversible BCPs though these are entirely a workable option."

Raelian Cult to work on artificial wombs

rage writes "Here is a link to the Raelian Cult website, whose scientists are said to have achieved the first human cloning a few months ago. So now they have taken to the following step : artificial wombs. To me, this news gives evidence that incubators are on their way in the short-run, else this Cult wouldn't have committed itself to the project.
Once achieved, this breakthrough will ensure men's freeedom from women, we will be able to have our own children without resorting to a woman's womb, so no woman won't be able to steal our kids away from us in the courts any more.

The Black Gender Gap: MSNBC insults black men

equalitarian62 writes "Today I found an online article in MSN titled "The Black Gender
Gap." Apparently, misandry and anti-male bias is even worse in the
black community. The article is here:

http://www.msnbc.com/news/875614.asp

I'm not against black women advancing so much as the way they put black men down in this article. For example, saying that educated professional black women face a choice of being alone or "settling" for less-educated black men several steps below them. How condescending.

2nd Clara Harris copycat run-over in Houston

starzabuv writes "Actually, since I just heard it on the 10:00 pm news, there isn't anything in print yet. Just an FYI to keep your eyes open for the story. First she stabbed the guy in the arm, then ran him over, breaking both of his legs. He's recuperating at Herman Hospital in serious condition, and she is on the run in a white ford taurus stationwagon. Since men have known these things happen all the time but the stories of women's violence are either suppressed or glossed over by blaming the man, maybe we are seeing a new trend in reporting? Maybe. Maybe not."

Women Rapists and the Government who backs them

CPM writes "Teacher back in jail on allegations she was at boy's home

I have so many issues with this story but don't have time to write them now. Here is another link of a woman raping another boy student. So I will just post it now and hopefully jump in later." I wanted to make this all on one thread. To show how underage boys who were raped then forced to pay child support and the government who rewards them. This piece will piss you off.
