Article here. A new perspective on the pay gap. Excerpt:

"When Bill and I got married his relaxed attitude to money amused me. He's a teacher and enjoys his job. I work in medical sales: more stressful, but it pays well. I have, however, become secretly, overwhelmingly, envious of my friends, who can rely on their husbands as the breadwinners.
...
I feel resentful, especially as it's the men who bring in the money; and even if Bill were a head teacher, he wouldn't come close... Feminism's fine, but there's a lot to be said for having your bills paid."

Ed. note: An off-link to this story should come as no surprise. But note the blame for the separation is shifted now to the man.

Story here. Excerpt:

"A lawyer in line for a record £19 million payout over claims that a sexist bullying campaign ended her career was yesterday described as a liar.

Gillian Switalski, 51, said harassment and sexual discrimination at a finance company had left her 'mentally disabled' and effectively unable to work.
...
Monica Carss-Frisk QC, for F&C, told an employment tribunal: 'The new evidence shows that she simply did not tell the truth, and was a very plausible liar.'

The tribunal had been told at an earlier hearing that Mrs Switalski's treatment at the City firm had left the self-confessed workaholic suffering from depression and unable to concentrate enough to even read a newspaper.

But yesterday's hearing was told she had applied for three jobs, including a demanding role on the organising committee of the 2012 London Olympic Games, while on sick leave.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Sian Simpson, 17, was found dying in the street surrounded by a crowd of girls shouting at each other after a knife had been used 'all too depressingly' to settle a row, the court heard.

The A-level student collapsed after being stabbed in the chest by 18-year-old Chelsea Bennett, jurors were told.
...
...her death by stabbing was the culmination of an afternoon and evening of an escalating fight between two groups of young females."

We all know about this, but I thought it may be interesting.

Here is footage from the Sacramento rally of the National Fatherless Day. There were also rallies planned in the capitols of all 50 states. This one was from the California capitol.

Story here. Excerpt:

'An all-female Buffalo law firm is getting a mix of cheers and boos for a series of ads that tout its woman power. “Ever Argue with a Woman?” reads the headline of one of the ads for Schroder Joseph & Associates LLP.
...
A Buffalo attorney who served on the New York State Bar Association’s task force to establish lawyer ad guidelines that went into effect in 2007 said he’s “a little uncomfortable” with the tone of the Schroder Joseph ads.
...
A State Bar spokesman said the Buffalo law firm’s ad have not resulted in any formal action against the firm tied to its year-old advertising guidelines. Those rules were put in place to govern misleading and inappropriate attorney ads, with particular focus on embellished testimonials, silly nicknames and inaccurate fee information.

Schroder Joseph employs four female attorneys and an all-woman support staff at its Ellicott Street offices.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'Talking tough on Father’s Day, Sen. Barack Obama challenged African-American men on Sunday to play more of a role in raising their children and warned them that “responsibility doesn’t just end at conception.”

“Too many fathers are MIA. Too many fathers are AWOL,” he told a huge African-American congregation in Chicago. “There’s a hole in your heart if you don’t have a male figure in the home that can guide you and lead you and set a good example for you.”'

There is not a single sentence in the article about women's responsibilities, men's total lack of rights in reproductive choices, the destruction of inner city jobs or how the social welfare system is rigged to reward multiple unwed births and exiling fathers from their children's lives and homes.

Oh, I forgot. Obama has never actually lived in "the 'hood".

Never mind.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Fathers 4 Justice, Los Angeles (F4JLA) and the National Coalition For Men, Los Angeles (NCFMLA) stood front and center this morning at the entrance to a downtown 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.

The Hill St. Courthouse is the site where many a famous Hollywood celebrity has experienced the pangs of divorce and family law tyranny.

Take a look at the various MSM web sites-- could you tell it was Father's Day by reading them? Maybe there is a small article here and there, but headlines, the kind Mother's Day garners-- where are they? Not there at all. No coverage in many papers. Zip, zilch, nada. Some examples:

NY Times
LA Times
CNN
Detroit Times
SF Gate

Happy Father's Day!

The men putting on this "party" for these women need to spend some quality time here on MANN, methinks, especially the "demo model" guy.

Story here. Excerpt:

'NEWPORT NEWS - A 15-year-old Newport News girl has been charged with filing a false police report after she admitted to detectives that she fabricated a rape accusation against her mother's boyfriend.
...
A detective investigated and determined that the girl's story was false, Tepper said. The girl then admitted she had fabricated the story because she did not want to live with her mother, Tepper said.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'The mother of a 5-year-old-boy and her live-in girlfriend have been arrested in connection with what authorities describe as "unbearable physical and psychological abuse" of the child, police said Saturday.
...
The boy, who was in guarded condition at a local hospital, was rescued Monday by a stranger who found him abandoned and called authorities.

On that same day, the two women had an appointment with the Department of Children and Family Services and had brought the healthy child of a mutual friend and tried to pass him off as Brown's son.
...
Lt. Vincent Neglia of the LAPD's Abused Child Unit said in a statement Saturday that the abuse was "akin to a level of torture we hope our military personnel would never encounter."'

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!!
