'MOUNT VERNON, Mo. -- A former Greenfield High School music teacher now is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student at her home here. The Lawrence County prosecuting attorney charged Alison Peck, 23, with statutory sodomy and statutory rape on Monday.
...
The Dade County prosecuting attorney charged Peck last week with two counts of statutory rape. Those charges resulted from the Greenfield student telling a Missouri State Highway Patrol detective that he and Peck had sex at a park in Dade County. He also said he visited Peck at her home in Mount Vernon and had sexual relations numerous times.'

'With one glance at the female companions surrounding the President during the photo op, including Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and other members of the Congressional Women’s Caucus, one might reasonably inquire about the content of the advice the President is likely to get. Will it include more health and reproductive services and safe and professional day care, followed by very early childhood education, after-school care, and a longer school year for women who have children, but can’t be with them? Will all this be subsidized even more with tax dollars requiring more double incomes and the emptier homes that come with them? One would not have to look far to see that these measures are at the core of the agenda of those who have taken up women’s issues (like Pelosi and Boxer), and, were more proof needed, that they have just received a massive economic jolt, thanks to the recent crisis.

'Strong families need strong fathers, but American television has come a long way from the 1950s series "Father Knows Best."

Now Lifetime TV, a network known for its movies about women being endangered by men, has sunk to a new low - a reality program called "Deadbeat Dads."

'In her 2001 speech, delivered at the Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California-Berkeley, Sotomayor questioned the notion that male and female judges would reach similar conclusions when deciding cases, though she also "sounded many cautionary notes," the Times reports. Sotomayor said, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." Sotomayor also said that the increasing diversity in federal courts "will have an effect on the development of the law and on judging." She said that being a woman or a minority can affect a judge's perspective because of "experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences."'

"Immigration laws are being manipulated by women claiming domestic violence to gain citizenship," says immigration law attorney Nicomedes Suriel. "Women have found a loophole in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)". (cite) Mr. Suriel was commenting on the case of Reed Simon, whose Ukrainian ex-wife's phony accusations cost him tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and ate up a year and a half of his life before the judge dismissed the case. Simon has since found dozens of other men facing the same situation.

Suriel says some directors of domestic violence shelters for immigrants also run dating services through which they set women up with American men, all the while coaching the women on what accusations to make and when, in order to seize his property, get permanent U.S. residency, and eventually citizenship. These women and the shelter directors are "gaming the system", he says. On occasion, a judge sees through the scam. In other cases, the damage is never rectified.

The recurring themes in these incidents are:

Story here. Congratulations to them! Now had the sexes been reversed, would boys have been allowed to play on the girls' tennis team? Excerpt:

'The championship was a "repeat" of sorts. The sisters won the girls' AA doubles state championship last year without dropping a set the entire season. When they couldn't find enough players to field a team this year, they had a choice – play no matches until the sectional tournaments and then play singles only, or join the boys team and play all year.

"I wasn't going to leave her hanging," Karli said.

The result? Karli was the top seed on the boys team and went 22-0 on the season. Tanya was the second seed and went 20-2, losing twice to the same opponent. Thanks to their nearly automatic two points, the team went 19-3 on the year.'

Yahoo is, of course, reporting this as "Odd News". Excerpt:

'LYNNWOOD, Wash. – A 78-year-old woman arrested last month for allegedly beating her 84-year-old husband because she believed he cheated on her several times during their marriage was charged Thursday with assault. Prosecutors said she hit him with a bowl, pipe and carpet sweeper. He suffered broken ribs, pelvis and a wrist.'

Funny how you never see stories about men breaking their wives' bones reported as simply "Odd".

'DNA tests have revealed that a 13-year-old British boy who claimed to have fathered a child with his 15-year-old girlfriend was not the dad, according to a court judgement made public Monday.
...
But the story, reported in February just days after the birth, sparked claims from other boys who lived nearby that they could also be the father and social workers organised a DNA test.

The results, revealed in a high court judgement last month which was only made public Monday, showed the father was 15-year-old Tyler Barker, who lived on the same housing estate as Steadman in Eastbourne in southern England.'

Apparently, one can never be too young to be a paternity fraud target.

'DALLAS, May 19 (Reuters) - Rodney Ringler is an unemployed blue collar male without a college degree. He's hardly alone. Men like him have been the main victims of the current recession in the United States.
...
One statistic that stands out in America's recession-stung economy is the unemployment rate for adult men: in April for the second month in a row it surged ahead of the national average to 9.4 percent versus 8.9 percent for all workers. The jobless rate for adult women was 7.1 percent.

The reasons are clear: male-heavy sectors such as construction and manufacturing have been hard hit. But the implications may be dire for the broader economy and hamper the recovery as families that once had male breadwinners struggle.'

And every day we read in the MSM about how hard this recession is on women.

'When I prosecuted Charles Chatman for aggravated rape in 1981, I was certain I had the right man. His case was one of my first important felony cases as a Dallas County assistant district attorney. Chatman was convicted in a court of law by a jury of his peers. They, like me, were convinced of his guilt.

Nearly 27 years later, DNA proved me – and the criminal justice system – wrong. Chatman was freed from prison in January after DNA testing proved him innocent. He spent nearly three decades behind bars for a crime he did not commit – a stark reminder that our justice system is not immune from error. No reasonable person can question this simple truth.

'According to the report, women are nearly twice as likely as men to suffer from major depression. They are three times as likely to attempt suicide, and they experience anxiety disorders two to three times more often than men.

While these statistics are not new, their importance is generally underplayed, says Wanda Jones, Dr.P.H., health scientist and director of the OWH. She notes that whereas past reports have focused on bringing mental health to the forefront of concern -- such as the 1999 publication "Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General" -- few have focused primarily on the specific mental illness issues specific to women, hence the need for such a publication.'

'There is a group of activists among us who have found the perfect way to advance their statist, anti-family agenda. They ply their issue by relying on a devious mixture of exaggerations, half-truths, and bald-faced lies.

I’m referring, of course, to the domestic violence industry. DV operatives make bogus claims designed to garner ever-expanding federal funding, which in turn is used to disseminate more biased factoids that keep women in a continuous state of fear. It’s a multi-billion dollar, taxpayer-financed scam, and I’m here to blow the whistle.

Last week Dear Abby devoted her column to helping a man who had been pummeled and maimed by his wife. And according to a 2006 Harris poll, 55% of Americans know of a man who has been physically abused by his wife or girlfriend.

Article here. Excerpt:

'"Women tend to bring a lot to the table. They think more long-term, they think about the team, and not only themselves. They think more about people, and they see other business opportunities than men."

There is another, crucial difference, they find: "Women are willing to ask stupid questions. We want to understand. We won't take risks we don't understand, so we ask: what is sub-prime? Who'll pay these loans back?"
...
Moreover, they say, as women "we are willing to use our rational mind and our emotional intelligence to release value out of our investments. The touchy-feely side is actually the harder side. We reject a lot more investment opportunities as a result of emotional due diligence than financial due diligence."'

Story here. A little old (late April of this year) but still relevant. Excerpt:

'Through his work on the issue, he said, he has learned that seven out of 10 homeless children are homeless because their mother is a victim of domestic violence and that 70 percent of women who go to a hospital emergency room are there because of physical abuse from male partners.
...
Money from the federal economic stimulus package is being made available to the National Domestic Violence Hotline Center and a teen abuse dating hotline, he said. The investment helps saves hospital costs incurred by abused women and addresses the problems of dysfunctional families and children from abusive families who may grow up to abuse themselves, he said.
...
President Barack Obama's administration also is working with the State Department on an international effort to stop violence against women, Biden said.

The vice president also was attending private political fundraisers in Texas organized by the Democratic National Committee in Austin and Houston.'

'• A JR Furniture ad shows a male staff member using a chainsaw to chop in half a showroom sofa, not understanding his boss meant he should cut the price by half.

• A BMO Master Card ad shows a naive husband telling his wife how excited he is about planning for a trip for them to Paris several decades hence; after he slowly earns enough air-mileage points to pay for the long-awaited vacation. His wife looks appalled.

When I recently mentioned some of these ads on my blog, the response from readers was instantaneous and strong. It proved once again that people eat up any issue that has to do with the gender.

Many men, and women, have been noting that commercials, TV sitcoms (such as The Simpsons and King of Queens) and even songs have for a long time played the silly-man card.'
