'SAO PAULO — The wife of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti was detained as a suspect by Brazilian authorities Sunday following his death at a posh seaside resort.

Police said 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues was taken into custody after contradictions in her interrogation.

Gatti's body was found early Saturday in a hotel room at the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil.'

Jilly Cooper, the novelist, who was awarded an OBE in 2004, said: "This is an absolutely fatuous thing. What is the point of this? You can't make 55 per cent women; honours should be awarded on merit.

Mrs Cooper, 72, who is a close friend of the Duchess of Cornwall, added: "Sex should be absolutely irrelevant. What are the other 45 per cent going to be? Guinea pigs, gerbils, horses? I never heard of anything so silly and irrelevant, but it is just typical."'

Steve McNair played 13 seasons in the National Football League, most of that time for the Tennessee Titans. This past Saturday, McNair was shot to death by his girlfriend Sahel Kazemi. Of course, no one wanted to call it “domestic violence.”

Just five days later, Fox TV in Memphis ran a story on domestic violence, conveniently omitting any mention of male victims of DV. Why is it that male victims of partner homicide are invisible?

Over twelve years of teaching "Men’s Lives," I also wondered why majority-male legislatures, judiciaries and mainstream media editors, capitulated to and enforced feminist politics and jurisprudence.

Above all, men are powerfully driven by sexual attraction to women. Men easily rationalize their sexual need for women as based in intellectual and moral equality.

Male protection of women and children - at the risk of men’s safety and lives - over millennia of social evolution, allowed our species to survive. I suspect that imperative is as integral to male brains and hormones, as the need for and care of children is integral to women.

Men in power did not accede to feminists because of sexual opportunism alone – women remain second to one in that category. When feminists – confused as representing women – called out to men for ‘equality,’ men entrenched quotas and feminist jurisprudence. A man shamed by a woman promptly takes corrective action, to ‘act like a Man’.

Absolutely disgusting sexism (but it's the 'right' sort, so that's OK with the mainstream media it seems), here. Excerpt:

'Women have always known that men are a bit of a waste of space.

Now British scientists have proved how unnecessary blokes truly are by creating the first human sperm from stem cells.'

Let's do the always-enlightening gender reversal thing:

"Men have always known that women are a bit of a waste of space.

Now British scientists have proved how unnecessary chicks truly are by creating the first human ovary from stem cells."

Yep. I can see that one being printed in a national newspaper... not!

'Large, hairy, smelly --and obsolete

British scientists reported this week that they’re close to creating artificial sperm. Needless to say, the news is getting everyone very excited. If true, it will be possible to do away completely with that vestigial gender — I hesitate to call it “sex” — known as “men.”

'Violence and seduction are a ticking bomb. I think it goes back to the powerlessness some men feel. They feel so emasculated that they get angry or seek attention from a place that they shouldn't. For a man to get off on a woman screaming, the wires have got crossed somewhere. When you're dealing with men with real power they only want you if you're willing. It's about the dance between the male and female. Real power is about exchange, not subordination. For some people a powerful man is a bully. He's powerful because he scares people. And I would say that's not a powerful man - that's an intimidating man, a man who uses intimidation tactics. A powerful man is a man that knows who he is and doesn't need to manipulate people to get what he wants.'

'Gentlemen, it is now obvious that the much ballyhooed "battle of the sexes" was over even before it had begun, and our side never fired a shot. It is incumbent on men to raise the white flag of surrender, but we mustn't feel bad because we never had a chance -- we are far too chivalrous, and our opponents fight dirty. To use a baseball analogy, their tactics are akin to moving the outfield wall in 100 feet every time they come to bat, then moving it back when our team comes up. You see, women won the battle with an amazingly simple, yet frighteningly ingenious, strategy: they merely declared their superiority to men in every facet of life, and that was enough to send our side into retreat.
...
But even pointing out these facts and suggesting that there is any inequity favoring women will be met with disgusted eye rolling on the part of the opposition. That's one of their formidable weapons that helped them win the "battle of the sexes" before a single shot was fired.'

He is scheduled to be sentenced next week. A petition for his release is here. His attorney has asked that people sign the petition and spread the word.

'POST FALLS, Idaho — An Idaho woman face charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old boy that she was hired to watch in August 2007.

KXLY-TV reported Tuesday that 28-year-old Summer Nelson, of Post Falls, was charged Monday with four counts of lewd conduct with a child.

Court records say Nelson was a friend of the boy's mother. Police say the abuse was reported in December 2008, after the boy's mother grew suspicious of Nelson's attention toward the boy.

Investigators say Nelson told the boy's siblings that she was in love with their brother. Detectives say Nelson and the boy had at least four sexual encounters.

Nelson remains held in Kootenai County Jail on $50,000 bond. It was not immediately known whether she had a lawyer.'

Check this out. It appears that two men (gay or not) will be able in the next future to have their own offspring, without resorting to female eggs. Great news from my point of view, each MRA should support gay rights, because it will enable men to have their own families, without interacting with women and risking to experience a nasty divorce and discrimination in the courts. Combined with artificial wombs (that will come by the end of the twenty-first century), it will free men from this kind of oppression. What do you all think? Excerpt:

Story here. Racking up debt without a partner's knowledge? We all know that's something a wife has never done. On a personal note, this is something that happened to me by an ex-girlfriend. She was fond of using my credit card for shopping sprees on Amazon. Excerpt:

'Economic abuse can involve an abuser preventing a person from getting a job. Or cashing the family's income tax refund check and spending the money before paying bills. Or degrading someone by saying he or she is too stupid to manage a checking account. Or harassing a partner at work via phone calls, text messages or e-mail so frequent that the person loses a job.

These are some other forms of economic abuse:

• Taking money, credit cards or property from a partner without permission.

• Racking up debt without a partner's knowledge.

• Being forced by a partner to hand over paychecks.

'Q: In the 1980s, you wrote about how while the sphere for women has widened to include more work, men haven’t taken on as much domestic responsibility. Do you think that things are beginning to change?

JUSTICE GINSBURG: That’s going to take time, changing that kind of culture. But looking at my own family, my daughter Jane teaches at Columbia, she travels all over the world, and she has the most outstanding supportive husband who certainly carries his fair share of the load. Although their division of labor is different than mine and my husband’s, because my daughter is a super cook.

Q: Can courts play a role in changing that culture?

JUSTICE GINSBURG: The Legislature can make the change, can facilitate the change, as laws like the Family Medical Leave Act do. But it’s not something a court can decree. A court can’t tell the man, You’ve got to do more than carry out the garbage.'
