A blog entry from man in Portland, OR describing injustice in child support. Excerpt:

'Cry foul and ring the bell, fathers who love your children!
We are accountable, bullied, and jailed for child support
While there is no accountability to how the money is spent.
Believe it.
We have three-quarters of our salary sent to her
On a faceless check that bears no credit to the father.'

'Two fathers, wrongly accused in the murders of their children, on Friday called for an end to the death penalty in Illinois.

Kevin Fox, who was falsely accused of raping and killing his daughter Riley, and Jerry Hobbs, who was falsely accused of killing his daughter Laura and her friend Krystal Tobias, said the system is too flawed to be allowed to continue.

"There are just too many gaps to do that to a person," said Hobbs, who was released from custody late last year.

Illinois legislators earlier this week passed a measure to repeal the state’s death penalty. Gov. Pat Quinn hasn't said whether he will sign it into law.'

'Danielle Berger: Your program focuses on women. Why women, not men?

Roseanna Means: There are so many things that women have to deal with more so than men do -- reproductive years, and then mammograms, then menopause. A lot of women's health is preventive care, and if women lose out on those screening tests, their lives are in danger.

In the world of homelessness, there are lots of emotional issues, psychiatric issues, women who have been beaten up so many times they can't connect the dots. They don't have an address. They don't have a phone. They're all sitting in a shelter together, but they're not necessarily friends. There's not a common bond of, "We're all in this together." Everybody is struggling. Everybody's isolated. Everybody's miserable.'

'I am the parent of a son who by his own admission was probably the least talented runner on the team, but thrived with the experience of four years of University of Delaware cross country, while also thriving as a student.

I am angry, frustrated and sad that the government-mandated reverse discrimination of Title IX has eliminated the program that did so much to form what he is today. I suppose the injustice of discrimination because of race, gender, etc., always produces this kind of indignation, but my, how painful it feels.

Shame on UD and our elected representatives in Washington who are responsible for this reverse-discrimination quota of 42 percent male athletes inflicted on the men of UD who, through no fault of their own, were born male in 21st century America.'

'Becca Quinn knew her priority should be focusing on her basketball game with a cross-district rival. But it was impossible to ignore the hundreds of fans streaming past her toward the exits.

In fact, her Forest Hills Northern team’s game against Forest Hills Central was delayed to allow for the sweeping exodus right after the 6 p.m. boys game.
...
The crowd of more than 1,600 would eventually dwindle to about 300 for the nightcap.

The scenario has left the girls and their coaches using words like “embarrassed” and “humiliated,” but the conference’s athletic directors, wary of legal pressure over a possible Title IX violation, say they have little choice to but to schedule the girls as the late game every other year.

The commission, which operates under the state Department of Civil Rights, argued that as part of Title IX compliance, girls should have equal access to Friday’s second game — what it called the “marquee” game.'

'WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Christina Hoff Sommers, author of Who Stole Feminism? will headline a press conference to be held in Washington, DC on Thursday, January 27, 12:00 – 1:30pm. The conference, "Super Bowl Hoax Anniversary," will reveal how the original domestic violence hoax was engineered, and document how the abuse industry continues to distort the truth of partner abuse.

Other panelists include Philip Cook, author of Abused Men, and Carl Starling, who was himself a victim of a false accusation of domestic violence.

The Super Bowl Hoax, which occurred on January 28, 1993 falsely claimed that more women are victims of domestic violence on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year. The disinformation scheme spawned many other myths about intimate partner aggression. A full account of the incident can be seen here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/statistics/superbowl.asp'

'Some dubbed it "The Year of the Woman." But despite "mama grizzly" talk and a crop of high-profile female candidates, last year's elections resulted in no net additions to the female ranks of the Senate and, for the first time since 1978, a net loss in the House. In fact, more than 90 years after the first woman was elected to Congress, female politicians still hold less than a fifth of all national seats, and do only slightly better at the state level. But that's more than just a blow for diversity and equality, according to a forthcoming study in the American Journal of Political Science—because women also rank as the most effective lawmakers in the land.

'Men are increasingly the victims of ‘obnoxious bigotry’ by women and should start ‘burning their briefs’ in protest, according to a rising Tory star.

Dominic Raab, a new MP tipped for high office, said men were getting a ‘raw deal’ from the cradle to the grave following years of anti-discrimination legislation favouring women.

He pointed out women in their 20s are now paid more than their male peers, who work longer hours, retire later and die earlier.

Mr Raab, the 37-year-old MP for Esher and Walton in Surrey and a former chief of staff to David Davis, called for an end to what he called feminist bigotry.'

Unbelievable claptrap... the video that accompanies it is hilariously bad...

Oh how I hate being a man. I mean... all I can think of is having sex with every woman I see! And forcing myself on them if they don't co-operate!!! It's terrible...

Sheesh...

And yes, it was paid by MY taxes! Disgusting...

'Bukoba. A total of 1,158 men in various Lake Victoria islands have been circumcised in the four weeks as part of efforts to curb the spread of HIV in Kagera Region.

The International Centre for Aids Care and Treatment Programmes (ICAP-Tanzania) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare are conducting a male circumcision drive at two designated government hospitals in the region.

As of June 2010, over 1,000 males aged between 10 and 55 had been circumcised at Rubya and Kagera regional hospitals while 1,158 others were circumcised in the four weeks preceding the official launch of the male circumcision campaign on Saturday.

The campaign is being supported by the American people through the US President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar).'

'On Ask Oprah's All Stars, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil and Suze Orman address audience concerns. Tonight, a lesbian couple asked if they should circumcise their son; instead, they received loads of frank penis talk from Orman and host Gayle King.

Here are three individual clips from the segment—which ran about six minutes total—during which Dr. Oz attempted to explain the pros and cons of circumcision to the couple, who are expecting a son in just a few short weeks.

In the first, King interrupts Dr. Oz before he can begin to address the couple's question by asking him, "Don't you think penies look better circumcised?"

And finally, another "Uncut penises are gross!" moment from King, with a bonus from Orman.'

'Phillip Seaton says when he awoke from the surgery, he discovered that the doctor had removed his entire penis.

The doctor who performed the surgery, Frankfort Urologist Dr. John Patterson says he removed Seaton’s penis because he discovered a cancerous growth on it. He says he performed the procedure to keep it from spreading.

But the lawsuit alleges that the doctor was not given authorization to remove his penis. It indicates that performing the procedure deprived Seaton the opportunity to get a second opinion.

The cancer turned out to be a stage one cancer, considered by many medical experts to be treatable.'
