'Slowly we started seeing laws and services for women change. Then came the training from man haters and cop haters lecturing us about how the advocates from among the academics and social activists knew the truth about family disturbance calls while us ignorant cops were brutal and crude and just making everything worse. Ask a cop what they learned in domestic violence training back then and they’d say, “Woman good, man bad”. We were a tough, eye-rolling crowd. And yet even with the left-wing activists ramming it down our blue collar throats, the law enforcement profession responded. We became enlightened. We began to understand that a punch in the nose shouldn’t be acceptable just because the victim is sleeping with the perpetrator. We studied the research and accepted the science of offender behavior and the studies of victimology that made sense of the seemingly illogical behavior of battered women.'

'Violence will stop when the collective voice begins to talk about violence against women as not a women’s problem but a men’s issue.

Jackson Katz, in his book The Macho Paradox, writes, “ I am not going to guilt-trip twenty-first-century American men by blaming them for thousands of years of sexism and patriarchal oppression. Men shouldn’t feel guilty simply for being born male. If there is a reason to feel guilty, it should be about what they do or fail to do, not about their chance placement in one gender category.”

If there is a glimmer of hope for women, it is that men are beginning to speak out about violence against women, truly recognizing it as a men’s issue. This is good news. Speaking out is a beginning for transformation and the acceptance of responsibility.

This is breaking new ground. We need leaders who will lead and model respect and accountability: violence against women is not acceptable.'

'MOUNT OLIVE —A 31-year-old Mount Olive woman admitted Thursday that she shook a crying infant for whom she was babysitting and dropped him twice, which caused the boy to suffer severe brain damage and paralysis.

As the father of the boy -- who was 11 months old when he was harmed by babysitter Khac Tam Nguyen last Dec. 27 -- wiped away tears, Nguyen pleaded guilty before state Superior Court Judge Thomas V. Manahan in Morristown to one count of aggravated assault.

With the assistance of a Vietnamese interpreter, Nguyen answered questions posed by defense lawyer Peter Toscano, and acknowledged that she was babysitting the child on Dec. 27 along with her own two children at her Budd Lake apartment and got frustrated with his incessant crying. She said she shook the child and dropped him twice.

Assistant County Prosecutor Brian DiGiacomo said the state is recommending the maximum sentence for Nguyen on the charge, 10 years in prison, with 85 percent of the term to be served before parole consideration.'

'Companies will be free to discriminate in favour of women and black job candidates under proposed ‘equality’ laws.
...
Ministers insist that businesses will not be compelled to favour the woman or the black candidate, but the law will be changed to ensure they cannot be sued for turning down a white man.
...
But the Equality Bill, which brings together nine major laws and 100 other regulations, will inevitably lead to charges that women are more equal then men.

Miss Harman, whose earnest feminism has earned her the nickname Harriet Harperson, said yesterday that the economic downturn would not hold back the ‘tough’ new measures, claiming ‘fairness doesn’t cost anything’.

Other proposals in the Bill include moves to tackle the gender pay gap and powers to ban discrimination against older people in the provision of goods and services.'

'I was married to a man 20 years older than me, in 1983 when feminazis were in the boil and New Man was about to be born. Women had already been cast in the roles of the suppressed, victims and martyrs and men as brutes, sexual predators, bullies or bumbling fools. A culture was being fomented that was increasingly hostile toward males who, gradually, were going underground, retreating from a bewildering world into their holdouts.
...
Manhood, manliness―words signifying qualities admirable in a man: strength, bravery, honor, valor, chivalry, gallantry. The kind that goes to the moon, travels in space, fights war and injustice, drives F1, puts up shelves, opens doors, gets up in the middle of the night to see what the noise is about, brushes your cheek tenderly, holds you to keep you from breaking. A dangerous world needs men; a girlfriend her boyfriend; the wife her husband; the children a father they can look up to as a role model.'

'ScienceDaily (Dec. 5, 2008) — Boys with asthma who are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke have higher degrees of hyperactivity, aggression, depression and other behavioral problems, according to researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

In a study posted online ahead of print by the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, the researchers said behavioral problems increase along with higher exposure levels, but they added even low levels of tobacco smoke may be detrimental to behavior.
...
Interestingly, although girls in the study were on average exposed to higher levels of tobacco smoke than boys, the exposure did not lead to an increase in behavioral problems among them, investigators said. In boys, however, behavioral problems increased about two fold with each doubling in their tobacco smoke exposure, said Dr. Yolton.'

'November was Domestic Violence Awareness month. Truth in advertising suggests it should be Y-Chromosome Apartheid Month. Far from promoting "awareness" of a social problem or remedies for men and women with anger issues, the month is basically a radical feminist war dance around the Original Sin of maleness, cheered on by "progressive" media sympathizers.
...
The truth is that the more precisely identified phenomenon of "intimate partner violence" (IPV) in Western culture is gender neutral, an acting out of psychological problems around intimacy that afflict men and women alike. IPV is initiated by both sexes in about equal proportions. Self-defence is rarely the motive for women's violence against men. Literally hundreds of peer-reviewed, community-based studies, including StatsCan's, confirm this. But they don't reach the public. (Under pressure from feminist organizations, for example, a Quebec health agency recently sequestered a commissioned psychosocial study showing men and women are equally culpable for IPV.)'

'HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Philadelphia man was forced to pay more than $12,000 in child support for another man's daughter and spent two years in jail for falling behind on payments.

Dauphin County prosecutor Edward M. Marsico Jr. told The Patriot-News of Harrisburg that he is examining the case of Walter Andre Sharpe Jr., who has been unable to recover the money even after establishing that he isn't the girl's father.
...
He served four six-month jail terms for not keeping up with support payments between 2001 and 2005, then lost his job. Petitions he filed for DNA testing were opposed by the court's domestic relations officials and denied by the judge.

In May 2007, the paternity order against Walter Sharpe was overturned after the girl's mother and grandmother failed to show up to a court hearing. But the judge ruled in October that Walter Sharpe was not entitled to compensation.'

'HERMISTON -- A teacher's assistant who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing teenage boys won't have to spend time in prison.

Following a plea bargain, Umatilla County Judge Garry Reynolds this week sentenced Roxana Mata to three years of probation on charges of rape and sexual abuse.

Mata, 23, must pay a $500 fine for each victim and can't have contact with children other than her own two kids and the one she is expecting.

She must also perform community service, write letters of apology to her victims, take part in an alcohol program and register as a sex offender.'

'There's always an internal detonator with suicide, but an external spark helps light the fuse. One factor that comes along every few generations is economic distress. During the Great Depression, when banks went bust and people's life savings vanished, suicide rates soared. Another instigator: large numbers of veterans returning from armed conflict, many of them with troubled (or injured) minds, lousy job prospects, and fractured families. Which begins to explain why suicidologists, who study the phenomenon, are feeling a little edgy themselves these days. "For those who serve in the military, the suicide risk may be even greater considering multiple deployments, possible brain trauma from concussive blasts, and combat-related post-traumatic stress," says David A. Jobes, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the Catholic University of America. "This may be a uniquely dangerous moment for young American men and suicide, given the recent economic upheaval."

'The mother of Shannon Matthews was today found guilty of the kidnap of her own daughter.

Karen Matthews, 33, was convicted alongside her co-accused Michael Donovan after a trial at Leeds Crown Court.

The court had heard how they kept Shannon drugged and leashed to the loft to stop her escaping during her 24-day ordeal in a 'cynical' plot to eventually claim £50,000 reward money for her safe return.
...
Both were found guilty on counts of kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice.

After the pair were told they would face lengthy jail terms, one senior officer described Matthews as 'pure evil' and said her actions 'beggared belief'.

'WOMEN in Papua New Guinea's Highland region are killing their male babies to end a tribal war that has gone on for more than 20 years.

Two women from the Eastern Highlands spoke of the slaughter to PNG's National newspaper during a three-day peace and reconciliation course in the region's capital of Goroka.

Rona Luke and Kipiyona Belas, from two warring tribes, said male infanticide reduced the cyclical payback violence infamous in Highlands tribal fights.
...
"This situation shows the extreme frustration the women have with the men in these areas," a spokesman said.'

'REFUSING to provide domestic violence programmes for male victims because of gender-based analysis is against the US constitution, a Californian court has ruled.

The decision in the case of Woods v Shewry is the highest-level judicial rejection of the concept as a basis for discriminating between men and women who suffer domestic abuse.

Gender-based analysis is also the model on which funding is provided for support for victims in Scotland.

The California case was filed in 2005 by four male victims of domestic violence and the daughter of one of the men against the state of California and various agencies and state-funded domestic violence service providers.

"A feral teenage girl who stabbed a man in the neck and then told friends 'just let him die' was jailed for life for murder today.

Callous April Bright, 17, knifed Mohamoud Hussan outside a pub and casually walked away as he stumbled around with blood spurting from the wound.

She then casually wiped the blood from her hands in the womens' toilet and continued partying in the bar.

Bright, now 18, was found guilty of murder at Bristol Crown Court and jailed for life yesterday with a minimum term of 12 years."

12 years?
