One-quarter of all divorces now involve an allegation of domestic violence. In about 80% of cases, the allegation is unnecessary or false. The accusation begins a series of legal maneuvers and decisions in which the son or daughter eventually loses daily loving contact with dad.

Needless to say, this is a negation of justice and a terrible thing to do to a father and a child.

On July 4 RADAR will be launching its biggest campaign ever: "Fix VAWA Now!" The five-month campaign will feature a media blitz, lobbying, grass-roots education, release of Special Reports, and much more.

Each month will be devoted to a different topic:

July – Impact of VAWA on the legal system
August – How VAWA harms the African-American community
September – Illegal immigration
October – Impact of VAWA on the family
November – Discrimination against underserved victims

Good opinion piece here. Well worth reading it all. Excerpt:

'In my experience, women are far harder to work with than men. Men don’t give you a crap task because they’re jealous of your shoes or mistrust you for months because you have good highlights or stand about “nursing her wrath to keep it warm”, as Robert Burns put it. Sometimes women don’t get jobs because they’re not very nice.
...
Few women are prepared to make that kind of sacrifice. This is entirely their right and good on them. However, it is surely both dishonest and intensely stupid to apportion blame - in the form of so-called corporate discrimination - to what is essentially a completely personal choice: power versus being there at bath time, conferences versus the park, business trips versus getting home in time for homework, giving “110%” versus sleeping more than five hours a night.'

Feministing.com is invading Urban Dictionary to change the definitions of feminism. They put a link to the definition page and have had thousands of their followers skew the vote against anti-feminist definitions.

The anti-feminist definitions were WAY ahead until a few days ago and now they are behind by the thousands.

I hope you can help by visiting the Urban Dictionary definition of feminism and helping to outvote feministing.com.

Also, notice the crazy man-hating comments left by feminists who visited the site!! This is entertaining stuff!

Thanks again for your support!!

This is something I think we all should read I found on World Net daily. www.move-off.org

Excerpt:

'"Father knows best."

How do those three words make you feel? Turn them over in your mind a couple of times and be aware of the subtlest of feelings. Be honest.

Do they make you feel slightly squeamish? A little discomfort in your solar plexus? Is something deep down inside you repelled by those words?

If so, you're not alone. Contempt for male authority – as if to say, "Give me a break, father sure didn't know best in my life" – is everywhere around us. We're swimming in it. You see, men, boys and masculinity itself have been under withering national assault for decades.'

I didn't know, either. Anyway, the official web site is at http://www.menshealthmonth.org/. Thanks to MANN regular Luek for mentioning it in a comment here. From the site:

"Goal of Men's Health Month

The purpose of Men's Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.

This month gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. The response has been overwhelming with hundreds of awareness activities in the USA and around the globe."

Father's Day rally in Bangalore, India photos here.

Yes Micky, The Lion King and Donald Duck had also attended the show.

Around 100 people attended. Interestingly, 70-80 children from the neighboring school joined after there school had closed; they will remember their father on the Father's Day.

The main slogan:

'Child Says "I want Pappa"
Mommy Says "No Pappa"'

Story here. Except:

"When Susannah Pearson heard her husband of 27 years had been having an affair, she was livid and confronted him as he lay in bed.

She then went to the kitchen, returning with an eight-inch carving knife, and stabbed Tory councillor Oliver Pearson, 53, three times in the back as he desperately hid behind a duvet.

He was taken to hospital for emergency surgery while his wife, 59, was arrested. But yesterday she escaped jail after her husband wrote to the court pleading for leniency.

Thanks to the letter, Pearson was given a ten-month sentence, suspended for a year, after admitting unlawful wounding.

Mr Pearson also wrote that he hopes the couple, who have four children, can rebuild their marriage."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Women veterans aren't receiving the same quality of outpatient care as men at many Department of Veterans Affairs' facilities, according to an agency review obtained exclusively by The Associated Press.

The review appears to validate the complaints of advocates and some members of Congress who have said the health care system needs to focus more on women's health.

Women make up about 5 percent of the VA's population, but that number is expected to nearly double in the next two years as more women return home from Iraq and Afghanistan and seek care.

The review of the quality of care at VA facilities, which was mandated by Congress, found that at about one-third of its facilities, the quality of outpatient care given to women wasn't as good as what was offered to men."

Story here. Excerpt:

'A college student who branded a former lover's body with a scalding piece of metal as payback for never calling her after they had sex was sentenced to five years in prison Friday.

Kristina Caban, 23, had no comment as state Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus sentenced her for what he called a crime that was "not remotely justifiable."

Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told Obus that Caban was the "mastermind behind the plan" to sear the torso of Samir "Sammy" Sara, then 23, for having sex with her once in 2004 and never calling her again.'

----

Ed. note: NY Post story here. In it there are more details, including that the perp initially told police it was payback for date-rape, a story that after further scrutiny she recanted and confessed her real motive for the assault.

Fathers Groups Go Front and Center at Los Angeles Courthouse

"The corner of 1st St. and Hill St. is always a bustling intersection and this morning it was a little busier than usual. All across America, today is Fatherless Day, and folks are taking to the streets to call attention to the way family law and family law courts mistreat Fathers."

"Sadly, there is much fear that government still does not get the message that Father's rights advocates are sending, that the war on Dads will no longer be tolerated. More and more Dads, and their relatives, and friends are speaking up, demanding that this tyranny end."

You know, there is little better than the women-in-science stuff to offer as an example of bizarre dual-process thinking espoused by the MSM-feminist press. Newsweek declares "Nerdgirls" are taking over the sciences but at the same time bemoans the absence thereof from the fields of science, pinning the reason for this of course on the men therein and "popular culture".

Article here. Try not to think too much about the contradictions, your head will start to throb painfully. And be sure to watch the video of the Nerdgirls posing in high-fashion clothes and heels for photographers, running around doing nothing but good in the world for everyone, and of course declaring their confidence, power, independence, etc., etc. Oh yes, and also about how "guys are afraid of smart women."

"Guys"... "Women"

Story here. Excerpt:

"For two decades, Al Gentry begged investigators to take another look at the mystery of who killed his brother, Harold, and left his gunshot-ridden body sprawled on the floor of the home he shared with his wife.

He visited the sheriff's office dozens of times and made just as many phone calls. And when authorities finally listened, they wound up arresting the person Gentry had always suspected: his brother's now 76-year-old former wife, who was charged last month with hiring a hit man to gun him down.
...
After Gentry's death, Neumar remarried two more times. Once was to 79-year-old John Neumar, who died in October. Authorities in Neumar's hometown of Augusta, Ga., are examining the death, and detectives went to her home two weeks ago and seized an urn with his ashes, said Richmond County, Ga., sheriff's investigator Lt. Scott Peebles."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Private members' clubs will be banned from treating women as 'second- class citizens' under new laws.

Equalities minister Harriet Harman wants to make it illegal for golf clubs and working men's clubs to restrict women's access or deny them the right to vote as full members.
...
However, the new measures will not affect single-sex clubs such as the Women's Institute.

They will only affect mixed-sex clubs where women have lower membership status than men. The Equality Bill is also expected to give women the right to breastfeed in public places. While the contents of the Bill are yet to be confirmed, ministers have also suggested forcing businesses to conduct 'pay audits' - reviewing salaries to ensure men are not paid more than female colleagues."

Article here. Excerpt:

"When did it become acceptable to be a gold-digger?

After all, isn't a woman who sleeps with a man for money - or at least for extensive use of his credit card - called something else?

But then, 'prostitute' doesn't have quite the same glamorous, diamond-encrusted platinum ring to it, does it?

A new French film opens in the UK this week called Priceless.

It tells the story of a woman who selects her mates entirely on the basis of the size of their wallets.

Who needs sexual chemistry when you can have cold hard cash?

...
A man exists not as an equal partner in a kind, loving, relationship, but merely as someone to be fleeced for as much money as possible.

How depressing and how insulting to the millions of women who don't live their lives according to these mercenary rules."
