Stem cells from testicles an option to embryos

Story here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON — Cells taken from men's testicles seem as versatile as the stem cells derived from embryos, researchers reported Wednesday in what may be yet another new approach in a burgeoning scientific field.

The new type of stem cells could be useful for growing personalized replacement tissues, according to a study in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. But because of their source, their highest promise would apply to only half the world's population: men.'

"Windfall moms join deadbeat dads"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Recently...I stumbled upon a woman who not only managed to afford cosmetic surgery while feeding her family with food stamps, but who literally could write the book on "How To Beat The System and Screw My Ex-Husband All In One Fell Swoop."
...
It all started in 1989, when the Legislature enacted the Child Support Standards Act, which remains the driving force in determining parents' child support obligations.

...
The act was necessary for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was the need to protect mothers from baby-daddies who planted their seeds without ever tending to the saplings born there from. It should be regaled for that reason alone.

Unfortunately, the act is not without its bugs, and in certain scenarios - particularly those where Dad is not a deadbeat, but rather a hard-working slob who may have fallen on hard times - the flaws in the law can truly undermine the purpose.'

George Lopez promotes sexual violence on Nickelodeon

On the October 14th episode of "George Lopez" which is shown on Nickelodeon, a network for children, George and his mother are in a bar sitting at a table. The mother starts insulting a man who is sitting at the bar. The man gets fed up and stands up and turns around. She then charges at the man, gets in his face, and then knees him in the testicles. Then she pours her beer over his head while he lies helplessly on the ground. George then takes her out of the bar and they go home where she laughs about it. The scene is obviously intended to be funny, although there was nothing funny about it to anyone who isn't a misandric bigot. The most offensive thing about it is the fact that this misandric sexual violence is being shown on a children's network during prime time.

When I went to the nickelodeon website I could not find any links allowing me to contact them and express any opinion of any kind about their programming. Nickelodeon, by the way, is controlled by Viacom, which is controlled by the infamous Sumner Redstone, a psychotic sociopath with a long history of anti-white-male bigotry in all of his programming.

Huffington Post: 'McCain-Palin's Extreme Position On Violence Against Women'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Right-wing websites like Men's News Daily and Townhall greeted Joe Biden's selection as Obama's running mates with a chorus of misogynistic jeers. Referring to the democratic ticket as "GynObama" and "VAWA Joe," one Men's News Daily article asks men to "do a quick testicular self-exam. That space you feel between your legs means that Barack Obama and Joe Biden -- both on record as ballbusting misandrists -- will easily convince you to send them to the White House." The Democrat's emasculating flaw? According to one Townhall writer, "Tragically -- but true to the radical feminist agenda -- the Obama/Biden Democratic ticket portends an escalating war on boys, men, fathers, and families." The right-wing objection, in a nutshell, is that specific treatment for women under the law is a violation of equal protection, and therefore unfair to men.'

Obama delegate at DV awareness dinner recounts how he was falsely accused

Story here. Excerpt:

'A boilermaker by profession, Parker said his experience with VAWA came in April 2003 when his now ex-wife accused him of not only domestic violence, but also kidnapping their then-2-year-old son while they were living in St. Louis. Though Parker says he was the actual victim when his wife attacked him, he chose to de-escalate the situation by leaving the house and returning to a job assignment in Illinois.

The reason he took his son, Parker said, was for fear his wife would either abuse or neglect him.

According to Parker, he was arrested when he returned to St. Louis the following week. Along with contesting a protective order his wife filed against him, Parker said he had to fight assault and parental kidnapping charges.'

Girl behind rape hoax still has anonymity

Nobody wants to say her name out loud.

The media has a longstanding policy of not naming rape victims in all but the most exceptional circumstances.

But when it turns out there wasn't a rape in the first place, the question gets more complicated, media ethics experts say.'
