Domestic Violence frank h writes "I picked this up from Men's News Daily, and I'm surprised that someone else has not already submitted it. Margery Landry should go down in history as the first gender terrorist. Notice the arrogant, "you ain't got nuthin on me!" look on her face. What will be REALLY sickening is if she gets away with her crime, especially after she was identified by her victim."

What twisted individuals work for these agencies (Score:1)

I was going to stop reading in the middle of the article when this paragraph grabbed my attention:

"Advocates discussed how abusers gain custody," Landry wrote in a letter to a reporter after the gathering, "pointing fingers at biased court evaluators, arrogant social workers, cruel judges and court appointed attorneys for children . . . who disregard their young charges in favor of the abuser."

Isn't it amazing that not only did this woman work for Children's Services, which is notoriously biased against fathers and routinely either cooks up or abets women falsely accusing their ex-husbands of abuse (as in this case), but that she is so twisted that she sees exactly the opposite: courts favouring male abusers.

I don't know about the label "gender terrorist". I don't think that a one-on-one crime merits that label. However, I do think that Landry is the beginning of something new: our slow, painful discovery that women can be just as vicious and violent as men.

Maybe not. But given all the agencies this person worked for, one can only imagine how many other types of things like this, even non-violent things like lying, this person may have committed to harm men. Whether or not this act itself is an act of terrorism, if this person is guilty I don't doubt she's committed numerous acts of gender terrorism. They should investigate every single case she's worked on and scrutinize any situation in which she had a strong influence in a decision agains a male.

It's incredible how those who cry "the system gives kids to abusers!" never seem to care when the system gives kids to the abusive mother who falsely accuses the father. Since the data overwhelmingly says the violence occurs at about equal frequencies between the sexes, and since women overwhelmingly are the ones both claiming abuse and getting custody, this must be happening all the time. Maybe that's one of the many reasons the gender feminists so violently oppose the data showing equal frequency of violence.

I agree.

That woman's portrait scared me. It was like looking at a real-life female Hannibal Lecter. But I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if NOW took her position as it did with Andrea Yates.


"Female men's activist" is not an oxymoron.

Elsa wanted custody bad,
said she'd kill the dad.
Gave people goosey skin.
Her own attorney turned her in.
Supervised visitation made that old crone real mad!

Elsa asked Marg to kill her ex.
Neither could find anyone willing to have sex.
Chins like a rhino,
breath like a wino.
They looked like they had three necks.

Marg crept under the eves,
her face gives wart hogs dry heaves.
She snuck in at night.
Her ski mask wasn't tight.
Her wrinkles kept it looser than a bag of dry leaves.

Marg shot her gun.
But the struggle'd only begun.
He was up to the task
and pulled off her ski mask.
Then he called 9-1-1.

"Get the tranquilizer gun,"
"we'll have to tag and cage this one."
Marg's horoscope said "ka-boooom",
she shouldn't have worn that much perfume.
The old sea-hag had been out-done.

Now Marg is held without bond
and Elsa's nowhere to be found.
But we'll look to the east,
with the roaming wildebeest,
or where ever we hear a barn yard sound.

Mooooo!

I resent the idea that men in general should be seen as some kind of yardstick for viciousness and violence. Most of us are neither vicious nor violent.

True, Uberganger. Measuring either women OR men by the Neanderthal male stereotype does no one justice.

I really don't see what this has to do with the article at hand, or what value it adds to the discussion.

Actually I think it makes a mockery out of a very vicious crime.

I thought it was an interesing writing technique used to lend shock value to the fact that it was a female perpetrating the crime. First, it's just "the intruder" or "the prowler" and readers are left to think the stereotypical "male intruder" and "male prowler", and are then shocked by the revelation that it was a female. I think this is good, because not only does it call attention to the fact that it was a woman who performed the deed, but it calls into questions a person's own prejudices, even if indirectly. I know that when I am faced with a judgment or perception of mine being proved wrong, I reconsider my stance. (I'm not typical or average, I know). Hopefully this will have the same effect on the population and will help shift from man vs. woman to victim vs. victimizer (gender free). But then, I'm an optimist.
