'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.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Fresh from the news that Sen. Reid once marveled that President Obama had "no Negro dialect," the senate majority leader has now taken to slamming half the American population. During a February 22 floor debate on his jobs bill, Mr. Reid opined, "women aren't abusive, most of the time. Men when they're out of work tend to become abusive."

That quip reaped boatloads of sarcastic ridicule for the four-term senator from Nevada.

Within hours of the gaffe, the National Republican Senatorial Committee scolded Reid for "invoking caustic partisan rhetoric and bizarre analogies," and lectured him to "focus on the actual legislation moving forward and start doing what is best for Nevadans."

Article here. Also by Melanie Phillips. She is vindicated somewhat in my eyes with this one. :) Excerpt:

'So what do you expect if you have something called an ‘Equality Minister’? She will impose gross injustice wherever she can in the interests of a coercive and preposterous ideology. Harriet Harman’s proposal that companies should positively discriminate in favour of women job candidates (ie discriminate against men) is yet another example of the way in which feminism got hijacked and turned from a campaign for fairness for women into an onslaught against men. Her proposal is not only totally unfair -- job candidates should be appointed on grounds of merit, not chromosomes – but is based on the false premise that the gender pay gap proves that women are the victims of systematic discrimination in the workplace.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Devastating new research by sociologist Geoff Dench shows that not only is one in four mothers single, but more than half of such mothers have never lived with a man at all and are choosing to live alone on state benefits.

They believe they have no need for a man in their life and that their children have no need for a father.

The founding premise of the Government's £280million sex education strategy - that young mums get pregnant through ignorance - is thus very far from the truth.

It is, therefore, hardly surprising that Britain still has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe.
...
With so much flailing around over the family, I have a modest proposal to help break through the confusion.

It is that the Government should introduce a Man Benefit.

Blog entry here. Excerpt:

'Fathers & Families founder Ned Holstein, MD, MS and Fathers & Families members John Gagnon and Brian Ayers appeared on a Fox Boston report on Massachusetts’ new child support guidelines yesterday.

In 2001, Fathers & Families won changes in Massachusetts law which lowered child support by 15%. Our victory saved noncustodial parents over $1 billion—$200 a million a year over five years. That’s $1 billion that non-custodial parents were able to spend on their children themselves.

The opposition struck back by stacking a special committee with reliable votes for increasing the child support amounts, ignoring the data Holstein presented them showing that the proposed new child support orders were far too high for middle class people to pay. Holstein sat on this committee and prepared a Minority Report (.pdf) detailing the problems with the new Guidelines.'

Story here. Another curiously brief report wherein a man's body is found and a woman is charged with murder. No reporter's name, no details. Seems no one in the MSM thinks their career is furthered by reporting on woman-on-man murders, but the other way around? They can't get to the scene fast enough, can they? Says something.

'RICHMOND HILL- York regional police have charged a 30-year-old woman with second-degree murder after the body of a man was discovered early Friday in Richmond Hill, Ont.

Police received a call about trouble at a residence in the town north of Toronto and discovered a 45-year-old man with no vital signs.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A woman who was known to the man was located at the scene and arrested shortly after the discovery of the body.

The name of the deceased will not be released pending notification of next of kin.

Renee Laurence, of Richmond Hill, is being held in custody and will appear in court March 3 in Newmarket.'

On February 22, Sen. Harry Reid stood on the Senate floor and declared, “Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive.”

Sen. Reid miscalculated in making his remarks on a Monday, allowing the ensuing firestorm of ridicule and protest to rage for an entire week. Following is a summary of what happened, by the numbers:
