'A WOMAN who cried rape against her boyfriend later smashed his car window.
Adelyn Marsden continued her relationship with Graham Smith despite falsely accusing him of rape, Durham Crown Court heard.
She was given a suspended prison sentence for that offence in November of last year.
...
"The false allegation of rape was made in the heat of the moment, but she retracted it quickly afterwards.
"That may be why the court was able to suspend the sentence, which on the face of it does seem a lenient penalty for that type of offence.
"I have a letter from Mr Smith in which he says he forgives her and he still sees a future together for the pair of them."'

Article here. Excerpt:
'The printed media is often accused of having a hidden agenda, or a pronounced political slant to one party or set of ideals. It is refreshing therefore to read Kevin Myers' contributions on the subject of gender in your publication.
His recent column on the Michael Hannon case (Irish Independent, May 5) highlighted the clear double standards that pressure groups have when the victim doesn't conform to their gender expectations.
Rape is a heinous crime, but just as we condemn and punish perpetrators, we should do so equally to those who falsely accuse men of this crime.
A few high-profile cases in the UK recently clearly highlighted that some people believe that the rape accusation itself is as much evidence as is needed.'

'SPRINGFIELD, Mo. | Prosecutors have dropped their case against a Greene County woman accused of making a false rape claim that resulted in a massive investigation.
The Springfield News Leader reported on its Web site that the making a false report charge was dismissed Friday after prosecutors found that there was not enough evidence to prove that the woman's tale was fake.
The investigation began in July 2007 after deputies who responded to a call from the woman found her bound and partially nude behind a barn near her home.
Authorities spent hundreds of hours investigating before prosecutors charged the woman in July 2008. They alleged that she had injured and bound herself before calling police.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A former Volusia County teacher who had sex with a student, but hasn't avoided children, still won't go to prison for her crime. Cynthia Horvath was given probation in her sex case, but then she violated that probation by chatting online with a boy.
Horvath had a hearing Wednesday at the Volusia County courthouse for violating her probation. What was at stake here was the former cheerleading coach could have gone straight to prison for at least three years.
But what it came down to was, when she was on the Facebook web site, did she really believe she was communicating with a 16-year-old boy? The state couldn't prove that she did.'

'“I have no question in my mind about being bisexual.
“But I'm also a hypocrite.
“I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.”'
As I said in my previous post on her earlier comments about how she "hates men", boycott this woman. Do not do anything that may lend to her cash-flow. She is a misandrist of the worst kind and is at the same time making her living off of men.

'“[P]rivate collection agencies often fail to deliver any genuine services. Instead, they strip income from low and moderate-income families that could have been spent on housing, childcare, clothing and school expenses, or saved for their children’s education. They trap custodial parents in perpetual contracts.
“They also exploit the child support indebtedness of low and moderate-income non-custodial parents through the use of predatory and abusive tactics that increase their debt levels and often destroy their credit histories and interfere with parenting relationships.
“A number of private child support companies bring to the table a history of consumer complaints, bar association ethics complaints, and litigation filed against them.”'

Update from Glenn Sacks' newsletter here. Excerpt:
'Two weeks ago we launched a protest campaign against Lifetime’s Deadbeat Dads.
Lifetime has received over 5,000 calls, letters, and faxes from our supporters, and our protest garnered press attention and the endorsements of nearly 200 mental health, family law and medical professionals, and other prominent citizens. We also drew support from the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), which advocates for low income families.
This campaign was an early, preemptive strike–if the show does air, it won’t be for several months. We have made our point, and have decided to suspend the campaign against Deadbeat Dads. We will continue to monitor the situation, and if in the future we have good reason to believe that Lifetime will be going ahead with the show, we will renew our efforts. The campaign web page will remain up, as will all relevant information concerning the campaign.
Thanks to all of you who participated.'

'Imagine a world where ideology takes the place of truth and laws are rooted in dubious factoids from nowhere. That pretty much sums up the fact-challenged, hysteria-mongering domestic violence industry that is propped up by $1 billion of federal money each year.
Industry ideologues are loathe to admit the fact, but they truly believe the cause of partner abuse is patriarchal oppression. Not convinced? Just take it on the authority of feminist Gloria Steinem who once made this randy claim, "The patriarchy requires violence or the subliminal threat of violence in order to maintain itself."
In her now-famous PBS interview, Steinem expounded on her conspiracy-laced worldview: "It starts with the slippery slope of the supposition [of] gender that sexual relations between men and women are dominant-passive... And then it goes all the way up the scale to beatings, torture, [and] murder."

'(AP) The percentage of births to unmarried women in the United States has been rising sharply, but it's way behind Northern European countries, a new U.S. report on births shows.
Iceland is the leader with 6 in 10 births occurring among unmarried women. About half of all births in Sweden and Norway are to unwed moms, while in the U.S., it's about 40 percent.
France, Denmark and the United Kingdom also have higher percentages than the United States, according to the report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.'

"Chemicals in food, cosmetics and cleaning products are 'feminising' unborn boys and raising their risk of cancer and infertility later in life, an expert warns today.
Professor Richard Sharpe, one of Britain's leading reproductive biologists, says everyday substances are linked to soaring rates of birth defects and testicular cancer, and to falling sperm counts.
The government adviser's report published today is the most detailed yet into the threat posed to baby boys by chemicals that block the action of the male sex hormone testosterone, or mimic the female sex hormone oestrogen.
...
Doctors are concerned about rising levels of birth defects, with 7 per cent of British boys born with partially descended testes and seven in 1000 with malformed genitals.
The latest estimates indicate that one in six men in the UK has a low sperm count and will struggle to father a child.

Disturbing story out of Vegas about the death of a police officer in a car accident who was responding to a false domestic violence call from a 14 year old girl. The girl shows no remorse for her actions. Excerpt:
'Karen stopped her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm going to tell you something," Karen said. "You know that night, with you and your father? That night that you had called is the night that police officer died because he was coming to your phone call. But we're going to stop at that."
Her daughter blinked.
"I'm hungry. Did you eat my doughnut?"'
