This week, my column discussed Paternity Fraud Legislation pending in the Michigan State Legislature. you can access the story by going to this page." Nice work, Michael. We need to get these issues addressed in colleges and universities, and help educate men as early as possible.

The article notes, "It would also make it a crime for a woman to knowingly misidentify the father. These bills, 4635-4638, have already passed the house, and are currently under review by the state senate."

Damn! I'll have to email my friend Ken and find out how they got such good sense legislation in place. I am excited as hell! We need to support this bill with everything we've got!

Well, if what just happened in California is any indication, don't hold your breath.

Your column, "Paternity Legislation Improves," is a well-written, courageous, and rare discussion of an important issue for men. Thank you very much for addressing this issue.

My sex education seminar in college discussed various aspects of plumbing, technique, diseases, contraceptives, and abortion, but nothing was ever said about fatherhood, or men's choices in response to an unplanned pregnancy. Maybe that's because men don't have any choices. Except for different tactics for persuading a woman to carry out her sole decision-making responsibility in a way that incorporates a man's interest. Back when men were assumed to vote on behalf of themselves and women, that sort of theory came under the term "coverture."

Strange, isn't it, that in the U.S. in the year 2002 anyone who would dare question this "representation" faces brutal, personal attacks and accusations of being "anti-women." Based on your article, you seem man enough to stand up to such hatred.

Thanks for being such a great model of a real man.
