'Glued to a Play station while moms do real work

I have always believed the cliche about guys not growing up, but now not only has this notion proved to be nauseating, it’s become their greatest excuse.

Guys such as Paul Mashaba and his obsession with computer games make it impossible to be polite and if I have to slam doors again, I’ll also remove the handle.

Please help my best friend’s man and his buddies stay away from computer games. This hobby is childish, it’s time wasting and downright brain smashing.'

'NEW DELHI: Feel fortunate if you are seeking the nursery admission of your girl child this year. Boys may crib, but many schools are giving extra points to girls in the admission criteria. The purpose is to facilitate the education of the girl child as the ratio of girls to boys is still dismal in the classrooms, say schools.

"Being a co-ed school, we want a healthy ratio of boys to girls in our school because of which we are giving 10 extra points to the girl child. It's alarming that the number of girls coming for admission has declined over the last five years. Roughly, every fifth applicant for nursery admission is a girl,'' said Jyoti Bose, principal Springdales, Dhaula Kuan.'

'The male gender is in danger, with incalculable consequences for both humans and wildlife, startling scientific research from around the world reveals.

The research – to be detailed tomorrow in the most comprehensive report yet published – shows that a host of common chemicals is feminising males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people.

Backed by some of the world's leading scientists, who say that it "waves a red flag" for humanity and shows that evolution itself is being disrupted, the report comes out at a particularly sensitive time for ministers. On Wednesday, Britain will lead opposition to proposed new European controls on pesticides, many of which have been found to have "gender-bending" effects.

It also follows hard on the heels of new American research which shows that baby boys born to women exposed to widespread chemicals in pregnancy are born with smaller penises and feminised genitals.

'There will be no jail time for the Ashburn woman charged with holding her former employer and his family at gunpoint in May, following a pleading in Circuit Court. Instead she will be transferred to a state hospital for mental evaluation and treatment.

Michelle Raquel Davidson, 39, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity before Judge Thomas D. Horne this morning to two charges of abduction and one count of breaking and entering with a deadly weapon.

'AUBURN, CA - A Granite Bay mother has been found legally insane at the time she drowned her newborn daughter, but will still face prison for other abuse.

Kristina Fuelling cried openly at several times Monday when she pleaded guilty to attempted murder and child cruelty against her newborn daughter Faith last January.

To the key charge of second degree murder, however, the Placer County judge found Fuelling, 27, not guilty by reason of insanity.

Faith Fuelling was only eight days old on January 19, 2008, when her mother put her in a sink, turned on the water and held the infant under until she drowned.'

'Charges against Tiffany Fraser, a 26-year-old mother accused of putting her young son in an oven for losing a cell phone, were dropped yesterday at the recommendation of Child Protective Services.

Fraser, an Airmont resident, was indicted in May on felony assault and misdemeanor child endangerment charges.

Her son, then 7, was placed in the custody of a foster mother.

"Following recommendations from Child Protective Services and the expressed concerns of the child's foster-care mother, it was concluded that proceeding with the case against Fraser will likely cause further harm to the young victim," District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said in a statement yesterday. "A dismissal of this matter was clearly in the child's best interest."

'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.'
