Story here. Remember that woman who last year glued a man's penis to his belly because she wasn't the only one he was sleeping with? She's been convicted but given no jail time - not only that, but the Judge actually admitted it was a double standard then went on to blame the man! Excerpt:

'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."

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
• Child Support
• 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.

'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.

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."

Story here. Excerpt:

'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."'

Article here. Excerpt:

"The future is "girl." Imagine girl is a cell that each of us -- boys and girls -- are born with. Imagine this girl cell is central to the evolution of our species and an assurance of the continuation of the human race.

Now imagine that a few powerful people, invested in owning this world, understood that the oppression of this cell was key to retaining their power, so they reinterpreted this cell, undermining its value and making us believe that it is weak. They initiated a process to crush, eradicate, annihilate, humiliate, belittle, censor, reduce and kill off the girl cell.

This was called patriarchy.

Imagine that girl is the part of each of us that feels compassion, empathy, passion, intensity, association, relationship, emotion, play, resistance, vulnerability, intuitive intelligence, vision.

Imagine that compassion informs wisdom. That vulnerability is our greatest strength. That emotions have inherent logic and lead to radical saving action."

From MANN reader Ed: Today (Jan. 1) President Obama released his 2011 federal budget, which totals an eye-popping $3.83 TRILLION. To make his bank-busting proposal more palatable, the President declared his budget would impose a spending freeze on non-discretionary and non-military spending.

But wait! Turns out there’s a loophole. Nine federal programs that specifically target women will see an increase, including an extra $117 million for domestic violence programs – see this Miami Herald article.

So while millions of American men are falsely accused of domestic violence each year, the programs that push these false claims will actually see a 22% increase.

Does that make sense to anyone?

'Monday evening Fathers & Families issued an Action Alert in support of Arizona HB 2348, a bill to protect disabled parents from child support and alimony abuses. As usual, your response was overwhelming—we thank all those who participated.

We have just learned that the bill has passed the Arizona House Military Affairs and Public Safety Committee unanimously. We thank Arizona House Member Frank Antenori, who sponsored the bill, as well as Mark Beres of the American Retirees Association and the ULSG, and Fathers & Families’ legislative representative Michael Robinson, who worked with Beres. Robinson was also instrumental in the passage of a similar bill, SB 285, in California last year.

We will be following the bill as it advances through the Arizona legislature—thanks again to all of you who responded to our Action Alert and participated.'

Dear Ms. Perina & Psychology Today:

In the shockingly irresponsible article “Sweet Revenge” (Psychology Today, January/February 2010), Regina Barreca, Ph.D. praises convicted Texas killer Clara Harris for her “great moment of revenge.” The act for which Barreca praises Harris? In 2002, Harris repeatedly ran over her ex-husband David, as David’s daughter Lindsey sat in the front seat of the car begging Clara Harris not to kill her father.

I wrote this and then thought: "Hmm, we got some work to do."

The precedent of "genderizing" catastrophic relief efforts must be stopped NOW, nipped in the bud while we have any hope to do it; otherwise gender feminists who, among other means, want to see men just die off by natural disaster calamities, will start winning in their efforts.

The UN needs to know this is not going unnoticed. They are the central authority for handling trans-national relief efforts when governments are too busy or otherwise too afraid to do too much around natural disaster victims. (That would seem to describe the current state in Haiti.)

It is really very sad that this disaster now has become a political football not just for this issue but for many others. But I guarantee you if the east coast of the USA suffered the same fate, not only would that happen (ie, political football-hood) but it would be a huge international political football the likes of which has never before been seen. So there is no avoiding it.

I have seen several Broadview Security ads recently. The theme is the same: a woman alone or alone with a child suddenly has her home invaded quite overtly and aggressively by a lone man who seems to know her from some place (who could that be... hmmm? An ex-bf, ex-husband, etc.) and who just plain kicks in the front door of her house but is fast deterred by a loud alarm and a phone call to the Broadview call center.

There are a few variations on the ad but they are all the same in their plot. One example is shown here with Sarah Haskins of InfoMania hitting the nail right on the head with her discussion of the foolishness of these ads. Her "Target Women" commentaries are simply not to be missed.
