'The District will become the first city in the United States to distribute female condoms free, part of a project that will make 500,000 of them available in beauty salons, convenience stores and high schools in parts of the city with high HIV rates.

City officials said the distribution could begin within the next three weeks in parts of wards 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7, where a study showed that large numbers of African American heterosexuals engage in risky sexual behavior that could easily lead to infection.

The move is an official acknowledgment of the futility of relying solely on the use of male condoms, which have been distributed citywide for nearly a decade, to stem the District's epidemic of HIV and AIDS. Officials said they are turning to female condoms to give women more power to protect themselves from HIV and sexually transmitted diseases when their partners refuse to use protection.'

'The House and Senate are considering bills that would change the standard of proof needed to grant a final protective order. The bills, H.B. 700 by Del. C. Sue Hecht (D-Frederick) and S.B. 823 by Sen. Jennie M. Forehand (D-Montgomery), would replace the current standard of "clear and convincing evidence" to a "preponderance of the evidence." Maryland is the only state that uses this higher standard when victims -- and generally they are women -- seek orders to protect themselves from their alleged abusers. In all other civil matters, Maryland courts require only a preponderance of evidence.

'March is Women's History Month. Time to prepare ourselves for the annual Sista-fest of narcissistic victim-mongering, gleeful male-bashing, and shameless prevarication.

How's this for breathless overstatement, courtesy of President Obama's March 2 proclamation for Women's History Month: "Countless women have steered the course of our history...breaking barriers on athletic fields and battlefields."

Countless women on battlefields have altered the course of history?

Yes, by allowing a far stronger enemy force to decimate and despoil their ranks! (But count your blessings — at least the president didn't spell "history" with "her.")

Like the beguiling schoolgirl who keeps elaborating on a little White Lie because everyone has stopped listening to her, the feminist claims have become increasingly shrill.

'A 45-year-old woman, charged with ending a domestic dispute by killing her 26-year-old husband of five days, is a registered lobbyist for a group fighting domestic violence.

Arelisha Bridges was ordered held without bond in the Fulton County Jail. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing later this month on charges of felony murder, murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Officials said Bridges claimed she was unemployed. But records show she is a lobbyist for an organization called the National Declaration for Domestic Violence Order; its Web site says the group is pushing legislation to create a database of those convicted of sex crimes or domestic abuse.'

'An Ontario County jury on Thursday found Victor Central School District art teacher Ronald Bartlett guilty of one count of forcible touching and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.
...
With its verdict, the jury ruled Bartlett was guilty of touching the thigh of a then-16-year-old girl who was a student in his commercial arts class during the 2008-09 school year.

Assistant Ontario County District Attorney James Ritts said he is pleased that the victim has been vindicated.

"We've got a victim who came forward and did the right thing for the right reason," he said. "She had nothing to gain and everything to lose."

It is the Democrat and Chronicle's policy not to name victims of sexual abuse.'

'From 1990 to 2009, the percentage of sexual harassment claims filed by men has doubled from 8 percent to 16 percent of all claims, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Women still file the overwhelming majority of sexual harassment claims with the EEOC and state and local agencies. But lawyers at the commission say they've noticed the increase in complaints by men — more than 2,000 were filed in 2009 out of about 12,700 cases.

Male claims made up about 12 percent of all cases a decade ago, but the percentage has continued to rise even as the overall number of sexual harassment complaints has declined. And last year, the percentage of lawsuits the EEOC filed on behalf of male victims hit an all-time high, making up 14 percent of all cases.

"It's certainly possible that there's more sexual harassment of men going on, but it could just be that more men are coming forward and complaining about it," said Ernest Haffner, an attorney in the EEOC's Office of Legal Counsel.'

'Changes to how Ontario courts handle child custody cases came into effect March 1, reforms the government says will provide better protection for children.

The move came about, in large part, as a result of the killing of seven-year-old Katelynn Sampson in the summer of 2008.

The child's legal guardian, Donna Irving, was convicted of the murder, along with her boyfriend, Warren Johnson.

A family court judge had granted Irving custody two months earlier without asking about Irving's criminal record.

Now, judges in Ontario must consider record checks and Children's Aid Society reports before giving custody.'

On Tuesday, March 2 the Centers for Disease Control released “Dating Matters: Understanding Teen Dating Violence Prevention,” a 60-minute, web-based training program on dating violence.

The program emphasizes the fact that both boys and girls can be perpetrators, and boys and girls can be victims: http://abusegate.mensnewsdaily.com/2010/03/03/when-it-comes-to-dating-violence-cdc-gets-it/

But some people are still floating around in La-La Land, filled with the illusion that girls are never aggressive, and boys are never victims.

One such person is Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli, third ranking official at the Department of Justice (DoJ). At a recent meeting to launch Teen Dating Violence Month, Perrelli used the phrase “violence against women” four times. Any guesses how many times he commented on “violence against men”?

Zero.

'The Women's Reservation Bill (which has been pending for the last 12 years) is a tool of blackmail used by anti-male women to make more and more biased laws, to fuel a gender war and disrupt harmony in the society.

ALL INDIA Forgotten Women’s Association (AIFWA) and All India Men’s Welfare Association (AIMWA) are holding this press conference to voice their opposition against the 85th Constitutional Amendment Bill (Women’s Reservation Bill).

What does the Women’s Reservation Bill propose?

Thirty three per cent of all seats in Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies shall be reserved for women.
...
Why are AIFWA and AIMWA opposing the Women’s Reservation Bill?

We believe that public representatives in a democracy should be those who have everyone’s welfare in mind and not promoting a specific gender, caste or creed.

Just thought you might be interested in a novella I wrote. An excerpt has been published here. Much of the content of the story and one of the main characters carries a strong emphasis on MRA concerns, which I think might appeal to people here. I am currently trying to get the whole work published. If you are interested in reading it, please let me know.

Story here. I do believe she could beat up on a man in front of 100 police and they would do nothing to stop her. Add femaleness to fame and you have the power to assault with impunity. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK (AP) - A man hired to drive Naomi Campbell told police the supermodel assaulted him from the back seat of a luxury SUV on Tuesday before hopping out and running away.

Police were looking to speak with Campbell, who is known for her feisty temper, and were weighing whether to charge her.

A spokesman for Campbell, who has previously pleaded guilty to assaulting people hired to work for her, said she'll cooperate with police.

"There shouldn't be a rush to judgment," spokesman Jeff Raymond said. "Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye."

Two years before the first Fatherless Day, L.A. rally was held in 2008, the National Coalition for Men, L.A. recognized the plight of Fathers in Los Angeles by staging a week long protest (Dad's Day Week) that lasted more than 100 hours. It was just the beginning.

'(CNN) -- Atrazine, a weed killer widely used in the Midwestern United States and other agricultural areas of the world, can chemically "castrate" male frogs and turn some into females, according to a new study.

New research suggests the herbicide may be a cause of amphibian declines around the globe, said biologists at the University of California-Berkeley, who conducted the study. The findings are being published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Researchers found that long-term exposure to low levels of atrazine -- 2.5 parts per billion of water -- emasculated three-quarters of laboratory frogs and turned one in 10 into females. Scientists believe the pesticide interferes with endocrine hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.

This is really good. Of course I have reservations with, in some ways, the matter is approached, but that is to be expected. All of us will have varying opinions. But overall, this is a fantastic little series.
