'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.

'"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."'

'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.'

'Someone needs to speak up for men, so it had better be me. After years of being vilified for their shortcomings - be them in the kitchen, nursery or boudoir - men now stand accused of being the 'weaker' of the two sexes.

A new survey claims that men are not only more likely than women to become ill, they are also more likely to pull a 'sickie' in order to skive off work. Women, on the other hand, soldier on, aided by stronger immune systems.

Now, I am as suspicious of surveys as I am of political party manifestos - and this one was probably compiled by a coven of man-hating spinsters.'

'I am often taken aback by how the gender discourse has become shorthand for women’s issues. I suspect that there is someone out there who thinks “gender” is simply a more sophisticated name for what unlearned people refer to as “women”.

That, perhaps, is why the so- called gender activists, who in reality are women’s rights activists, have chosen to ignore the other slur from the idiotic Floyd Shivambu and his older alter ego, the secretary of the Umkhonto weSizwe veterans’ association Ramatuku Maphutha.

It seems nobody made a big deal about the sexism against the men Helen Zille appointed to her Western Cape cabinet. I don’t know whether those men are good at what they do, but to suggest that they got their positions in return for sexual favours is sexist in the extreme.'

'A former Henry County High School teacher who was arrested last month for having sex with a student allegedly approached another male student with intentions of having a similar relationship.

Sandra Kay Curtis, 36, of Camden, was charged with solicitation of a minor Tuesday and was arrested at the Henry County jail by Henry County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Stan Pinson.

According to a press release from the Sheriff’s Department, the charge stems from an ongoing investigation into the incident. Damon Lowe, director of the Sheriff’s Department’s Criminal Investigation Division, said this morning that Curtis allegedly approached a second male student in one of her classes, but that incident never went any further.

Curtis was originally arrested April 21 on three counts each of statutory rape by an authority figure and aggravated statutory rape for a relationship she had with a 16-year-old male student.'

'Sadly, in a society low on trust and high on risk aversion, I can’t imagine many British men being prepared to volunteer as a role model. Our society’s growing “fear of boys” means that most older citizens now steer clear of youngsters. According to the Good Childhood Inquiry, the British are more wary of children and young people than any country in Europe. This fear runs alongside another distinctly unhealthy and widespread “fear of men”. A combination of feminist rhetoric and media obsession with paedophilia has turned every man into a potential child molester. In the words of one male interviewee, who gave up running an athletic club: “People think you’re a weirdo if you want to hang about with boys.” Indeed they do, to the extent that adults must now be cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau before even spending time in the same room as children.'

'When many parents think of Girl Scouts, they imagine young girls in uniform selling Thin Mints and Tagalong cookies – not learning about stone labyrinths, world peace, global warming, yoga, avatars, smudging incense, Zen gardens and feminist, communist and lesbian role models.

But that's exactly what many of 2.7 million Girl Scouts will learn about with a new curriculum called "Journeys" released last year.
...
They will be briefly introduced to Polish poet Anna Swir, known for her feminist and erotic poems, and Jane Addams, an ardent feminist and pacifist who received a Nobel Peace Prize.
...
In the next age group, for teens in the ninth and tenth grades, girls are taught about wage disparities between the sexes, and a lack of assets and senior management positions held by women.'

In pop star Pink's new music video for Please Don't Leave Me, she is seen beating the living daylights out of some poor guy who appears to be in her clutches. I guess she wanted to do a sort of tongue-in-cheek sort of homage to "Misery". At the end, as the guy's being carried away on a gurney, the police are just hovering over her and at the very end she gives the camera a wink.

First of all, think about if the situation was in reverse. The video would probably not even see the light of day. Yet, it's perfectly okay to show a video by a popular FEMALE artist where she's beating up a man?

Secondly, consider that Pink is considered a role model for young girls. What message is this sending them? That it's perfectly okay to beat the hell out of some guy just to get him to stay?

Apparently, Pink believes that violence against men is not only okay, it's also a good ploy for selling records. Either way, I think it's messed up.

Poor wimmin who break the law should be spared prison. This 'Crook' woman is a complete and utter imbecile. Even the Guardian readers are making her look idiotic! Article here. Excerpt:

'In pay, pensions, politics and promotion, the gender gap is a disgrace. But in justice, women face a national scandal. A report published today by the Fawcett Society reveals a justice system that is "institutionally sexist". This is of no surprise to organisations such as the Howard League, which have long campaigned against the hopeless situation of women rotting in our prisons.

'A veteran Edmonton taxi driver is speaking publicly about a civil lawsuit he filed last year against four young women who falsely accused him of sexual assault after travelling in his car three years ago.

"I just want to give those girls [a] lesson," Soner Yasa told CBC News. "We're so vulnerable as a cab driver."

The lawsuit, filed by Yasa in Edmonton's Court of Queen's Bench in April 2008, seeks nearly $250,000 in damages to cover emotional and mental distress. His allegations have not been proven in court. One of the four young women filed a statement of defence last month in which she admits to getting into Yasa's taxi but denies the rest of his allegations.'

'A Waco woman who sliced her boyfriend’s throat in June and then married him in March was sentenced to 10 years of probation Tuesday.

A 54th State District Court jury of nine women and three men deliberated about an hour before granting Tasha Nicole Delao’s request to be spared from prison in the assault of her husband, the father of her five children.

Delao, 29, pleaded guilty Monday to aggravated assault charges in a June 25 incident in which Archie McLeain was cut twice on the neck during an argument at her home in the 1000 block of Harlem Street. His wounds required 36 stitches, trial testimony showed.'

'A 78-year-old Lynnwood woman has been charged with second-degree assault after she allegedly beat the tar out of her 84-year-old husband because she believed he was unfaithful, the Everett Herald is reporting.

The woman allegedly hit her husband with a bowl, a metal pipe and a carpet sweeper, which she documented in her diary.

"I beat him again," the woman wrote in the diary, which was recovered by police. "I told him it would be worth going to jail just to watch him bleed to death," she wrote.

A witness told police the woman believed her husband had an affair 35 years ago, according to court documents.'
