Jon Stewart seems to have a thing against men. He's in fine company, as you know, right there with the US gov't, the UN, and many others. One day I hope he will see the light and realize that his own sex is not so bad, or at least realize that when people talk about men, they are in fact talking about him, too. Video (dated 2/3/10) here.

Starting at 00:40 Dr. Warren Farrell is shown and roundly dismissed, openly snickered at, and with some video editing, insulted, and this, all throughout the video. (Apparently the interviewer, Samantha Bee, didn't have the courage to do it to his face). Watching the entire vid will be for most MRAs quite infuriating. Ms. Bee is openly contemptuous of the men who she is interviewing and in some places, both very crude and rude (at one point when she is in a men's circle, she asks them "when do you start to masturbate?")

I kind of feel sorry for Stewart and Bee. I don't think they realize just how many un-friends they have just made, nor realize how much in the way of bridges they have burned with this "little piece of humor". Brazenly insulting Dr. Farrell like that, editing out full comments to make them reflect partial thoughts, canning laughter over his statements, etc., all done in very bad taste to say the least. Making fun of men's groups too in that fashion also shows an unbelievable level of ignorance around what these groups do for men (and women, too), and also who is part of them.

'CHILTON, Wis. -- A Wisconsin woman who tied up a cheating lover and glued his penis to his stomach said Tuesday that she didn't mean to hurt him and only overreacted because he had tried to contact her 12-year-old daughter.

Therese A. Ziemann, 48, of Menasha, said she and three other women only meant to confront the married man about his cheating ways. Her decision to grab the bottle of nail glue from her makeup bag was "a stupid spur-of-the-minute decision," she said.

"I had just found my daughter's number in his cell phone," she said outside a Calumet County courtroom. "It was just a warning from me to him, to stay away from the kids."

Ziemann, her sister, another lover and the man's wife were all sentenced Tuesday to one year probation plus community service for their roles in the revenge plot. A judge also imposed and stayed jail sentences of 60 days for Ziemann and 30 days for the other three, meaning they would only serve the jail terms if they violate the conditions of their probation.'

Dear RADAR Supporter:

MensEnews: For perhaps the first time, topics and issues vital to men are in one place. http://www.mensenews.org/ strives to improve the health and well-being of men, boys and families.

Here are just some of the news topics featured in the MensEnews

Family Law newsletter:

• Child Custody

• Adoption
• Child Abuse & Neglect
• Domestic Violence
• Economics of Divorce
  

Article here. Excerpt:

'NEW PERSPECTIVE: If there’s anything I’ve learned in 10 years of advocacy for unserved victims of partner abuse, it’s that men don’t tell. Yes, the U.S. Dept. of Justice says there about 840,000 male victims of domestic violence each year. But those are just the ones who've reported it.

Not that the numbers really matter: What matters is that it's happening, and it’s no joke.

There's a popular presumption that men should somehow be able to “control” the woman in their lives, and if they can’t, then they deserve what they get. But the fact is that today a man who tries to defend himself is more likely than not to end up in jail.'

'Practically everyone in town knows Amy Dugas is a serial batterer. But the Maine criminal justice system keeps finding ways to keep her from facing the music.

In 2004 Amy assaulted her husband Mark in their home in Waldoboro. When the police officer came to arrest her, she kicked him in the groin. The judge released her on bail, ordering her to refrain from using weapons. Four months later she stabbed Mark with a foot-long kitchen knife, fatally severing his pulmonary artery. At the trial, she got away with the trusty I-feared-for-my-life alibi.

Two years later Dugas spent 125 days in jail following an attack on a male friend. In 2007 she was arrested again, this time for assaulting Brian Pelletier, her new husband of three weeks.

Each time, Amy Dugas was let off the hook with a chivalrous slap on the wrist, even though many were demanding she do hard time at the state pen.

Patrick Henry College professor Stephen Baskerville has recently issued a stunning indictment of our contemporary criminal justice system, lambasting it as a “Feminist Gulag.” Now in Maine, a man can be killed in cold blood without consequence to the perpetrator, prosecuted for rape with the flimsiest of evidence, or framed in a partner dispute on account of his sex.

And whatever happened to the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution?'

Story here. Excerpt:

'NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (CBS) - Two teenage girls went at it. Two adults allegedly watched and another minor videotaped the whole thing in Louisiana. The fight popped up on YouTube more than a week ago. Days later, in Lowell, Mass., local authorities discovered similar videos online and said local educators report about 80 percent of school fights are now girl against girl.

Some experts believe the trend is partly fueled by the Internet.

CBS 2 HD met with members of the cyber safety group "Teenangels" at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle.

"People want attention from it. They want to be on the Internet. They want to be famous and they're willing to go to any cost to do that," said Teenangel Angelina.
...
Cyber experts said it's one of the most effective ways to slow down this dangerous trend.'

List of excuses (just a start), as everyone knows, "girls don't do that sort of thing":

Stories like this one occasionally popping up are nice to see, but bear in mind the victory is hollow. The reasons are not because the people involved have come to realize that gender segregation is wrong and they are reversing their bad ideologies, but instead, they just want to save/make money. If they could get away with it, the all-female allocations for classroom space and learning resources would be increasing, not decreasing. Excerpt:

'The Aquinas Institute and the Nazareth Schools announced a partnership today to merge student bodies into one school system.

Beginning in September, pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade classes will be held at the Nazareth Academny campus on Lake Avenue. Classes for grades 7 through 12 will be at the Aquinas Institute campus on Dewey Avenue.

The move will combine the all-female Nazareth Academy with the co-educational Aquinas Institute.'

Article here. The actions of a few criminals will shed a dark shadow across all men. Excerpt:

'The Westford man who shot his wife Monday, critically wounding her, before fatally shooting his daughter and himself is the second to allegedly kill a family member in this suburb in less than a month, and the fatal shootings are the latest in a rash of domestic killings in Massachusetts this year.

Since Jan. 9, at least five women have been killed in domestic violence. Two others were severely wounded in the total of six different incidents.

The violence has alarmed authorities and advocates for women, who point out that women’s groups are reporting dramatic increases in domestic abuse in Massachusetts and across the country.

“I haven’t seen this level of violence - and it’s not just the homicides, it’s the assaults and attempted murders - and I’ve been doing this for over 30 years.’’ said Joanne Tulonen, director of the YWCA/Battered Women’s Resources organization in Leominster, where a domestic dispute led to a knife attack on two women Sunday morning.'

Via Marc A.: To major charities like CARE and UNICEF, these men are potential criminals because they're men who might not feed their families. Never mind that many of them, if not most of them, risk their lives every day to feed their families and to rescue people in the disaster. See also: Haitian Men Told to Stay Away From Food Lines. Men are asking "What about me? I didn't get anything. I need food."

Culprits reportedly include: World Food Programme, Samaritan's Purse, Catholic Relief Services, CARE, World Vision, ACTED, Save The Children, GOAL, and ADRA

'SAN ANTONIO — A 22-year-old woman stabbed her two young sons to death, then calmly held her wrists out to police officers who arrived at her home and said "I killed my babies," authorities said.

Elyse Marsyl Colon was being held Wednesday on two counts of capital murder of a child in the deaths of her sons, 3-year-old Jose Luis Garcia and 1-year-old Guillermo Garcia. Her bond was set at $2 million.

"Words can't describe the scene," San Antonio police Chief William McManus said. "It was unspeakably sad."

Colon was waiting outside her home when officers arrived Tuesday evening and put her hands behind her back as they approached, police said. When an officer asked "What happened?", Colon allegedly responded with, "I killed my babies."'
