'A Manhattan man is suing JetBlue, claiming he was forced to sit in an airplane bathroom for hours during a cross-country flight.
Gokhan Mutlu was flying standby from San Diego to New York in February.
He says he had a seat initially, but was woken up 90 minutes into the flight. He says the pilot told him that he would have to give his seat up to a flight attendant, who had complained that her jump seat was uncomfortable.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'You wanted it. So I’m giving it to you. When “The Top 10 Mistakes Men Make” ran a couple of weeks ago, readers were like: “Fair enough. But what about the mistakes women make?”
No worries, we’re not leaving the ladies off the hook. From getting sloppy with seduction to carnal constraints, women, too, make some errors with the erotic.
...
7. Trash-talking other women.
Sure, you think she looks like a prostitute. But guess what? He does too — and is most likely loving it. Putting down other women in front of him serves as no more than a sign of insecurity. And that makes you unattractive. Rather than worry about what another gal looks like, focus your energies on keeping his eyes on you.
8. Assuming you'll be monogamous.
You’re not monogamous till you have the talk. Having sex is no guarantee of anything, including reciprocal feelings, love, and a future. So don’t make any assumptions. Be honest about what you want. Don’t use sex manipulatively. Head games should stay below the belt.'

On May 13, 2008, National Coalition of Free Men members Marc Angelucci, Harry Crouch and Fred Sottile (also the Los Angeles rep of Fathers4Justice) were invited speakers at Torrance High School in Los Angeles County, where they spoke before 30 members of the student body government about male victims of domestic violence and other issues. This was a counter to the presentation previously given to the students by a feminist domestic violence shelter organization that distorted the issue and falsely told the students 95% of domestic violence is male-on-female, a myth that is not supported by any current credible data at all.

'ELKTON, Md. (AP) - Starting next year across the country, rape victims too afraid or too ashamed to go to police can undergo an emergency-room forensic rape exam, and the evidence gathered will be kept on file in a sealed envelope in case they decide to press charges.
...
The practice is already followed at some health clinics, colleges and hospitals around the country and by the state of Massachusetts. But many other jurisdictions refuse to cover the estimated $800 cost of a forensic rape exam unless the victim files a police report.
...
"Of course we encourage reporting. That's what we would like. But when they're adamant they don't want to report—if we think, `She's going to walk out if she has to go through with this,'—that's when we offer it," Lenz said.'

Many Men's rights organizations talk about how they are tired of the anti-male U.S. justice system along with it's family courts. But, non of them seem to have a likely solution to all this bullshit.
It seems like no matter what any man does even as a group, the lawmakers of this country (the U.S.) continue to pass more anti-male laws and continue to let feminism and misandry thrive in the media as well as the court system.
Here is my idea:
If men’s rights groups across the country where to plan a nationwide men’s labor strike as a move to persuade lawmakers and big media to stop badgering us while ignoring our issues, do you think it is worth a try? Many labor unions have had there members go on a labor strike in order to get wage increases, better benefits, etc. and plenty have been successful at it. Sometimes the threat of crippling a company, industry or region and hurting the bottom line of big business (which in turn may affect some politician’s pockets) is the only way to get someone’s attention.

'A woman who tried repeatedly to kill her disabled husband was spared a prison sentence after a court accepted that she had been unable to cope with the strain of caring for him.
Shirley Watts, 61, first tried to strangle her husband, Michael, with a dressing gown cord on Christmas Day last year. Over the following three days she put a pillow over his face, held his head under water in the bath and put a running shower hose into his mouth.'

One of the founding principles of the U.S., espoused by Benjamin Franklin, is that it is better that one hundred guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer. Others such as Pol Pot believed the unjust punishment of innocent citizens is inconsequential so long as the guilty do not escape.1
A bill before the New York State Assembly, which reportedly has wide support, would require every individual subject to a restraining order to wear an electronic monitoring device so the state can track them at all times.2,3 Leaving aside fears of a coming surveillance state, the proposed legislation ignores a fundamental problem with DV restraining orders – the large number of them that are unwarranted.

'An Old Bailey judge today criticised social workers after a mother stabbed her young daughter to death days after a police doctor raised questions over her mental health.
Galtricia Ntsimbi, 23, was left to knife two-year-old Trycia Balhous five times before turning the blade on herself.
...
Ntsimbi arrived in London from Paris in late 2006 after splitting from her partner, who claimed she was "unhinged from reality."
He had reported his former lover's state of mind after he had seen her throw the baby against a wall and heard a knife banging on the floor. But French authorities refused him custody of the child and granted it instead to Ntsimbi.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'For several years, there has been a disturbing rise in the number of girls committing violent crimes at ever younger ages.
Last month, rival girl gangs used snooker balls in socks to batter each other in a mass brawl at a railway station at Shoreham, West Sussex.
In March, a 15-year-old girl was jailed for using a mobile phone to film two drunken teenage male friends beating a man to death in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Last October, a gang of teenage girls stoned a 72-year-old woman and forced her into a busy road, leaving her with a broken nose and two black eyes.
There has also been a string of murders committed by girls, often sickeningly sadistic.
In 1999, for example, two 15-year-old girls murdered 71-year-old Lily Lilley, binding her mouth so tightly that her false teeth were pushed down her throat and giggling as they wheeled her body through the streets before throwing it into a canal.

Story here. Excerpt:
'A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn't get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.
Brittany Gegner, the daughter, says if anyone should be jailed, it should be her.
"It's like I should, if anybody should be punished for this," Brittany told WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. "I would way rather me go to jail than my dad."'
It seems to me that anything that can be thought up to put a father/man in jail is being done. A father does not even have to commit a perceived crime to be put in jail anymore. Will this ever end? What's next I am afraid to ask?

How can a woman who stabs her boyfriend to death...AND....has stabbed him on two previous occasions get charged with only 2nd degree murder? You got it...she says that he approached her in a "threatening" manner. A man would have gotten LWOP'd for doing the same thing to his girlfriend. By the way, in Nebraska she can get patrolled after serving only half of the lower term (3.75 years). Excerpt:
'Trial testimony indicated the pair had argued over Porter's desire to attend a party, a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Grant admitted stabbing Porter, saying he was approaching her in a menacing manner.
Evidence showed that the couple had a "turbulent relationship" and that Grant had stabbed Porter on two previous occasions and had threatened to stab him three other times, the statement said.'

Article here. Excerpt:
"No constituency is more eager to see a woman win the presidency than America's feminists, yet — despite Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic candidacy — the women's movement finds itself wrenchingly divided over the Democratic race as it heads toward the finish."
"At breakfast forums, in op-ed columns, across the blogosphere, the debate has been heartfelt and sometimes bitter. Are the activist women supporting front-runner Barack Obama betraying their gender? Are Clinton's feminist backers mired in an outdated, women's-liberation mind-set?"
"We're squandering an opportunity to be seen as a voting bloc that turns elections," Feldt said. "Unless we are working together, in a strategically thought-out effort to vote in our own best interests, we are in danger of never having another election where people will say women can determine the outcome."
Ed note: Given that women make up an ever increasing majority of voters, how can one say women do not determine the outcome of elections?

dooquidis4ever submitted this article noting a lenient six-month sentence for a female high school teacher who was charged with 17 counts of sexual conduct with a minor. At least she won't be able to return to teaching again, as she gave up her teaching certificate as part of this plea deal - one which a male teacher no doubt would never have been offered.

Article here about segregation in classrooms based on gender.
From the article: "According to Gurian, at the elementary school level, for example, boys tend to lag in language arts (history, social studies and reading)."
From the article: "Many teachers also have caught on to the advantages of letting boys be boys, which means encouraging physical movement. Short of letting them run screaming through the school yard, teachers can assign boys tasks, such as passing out papers or cleaning the chalkboard. If you have an especially active son, ask the teacher if he can play with a softball while working at his desk."
From the article: "Girls especially benefit from the mixing of methods, and teachers can change things up in the classroom, encouraging writing, role-playing and other activities -- even in math classes -- to help girls absorb the material."
What's next? Back to white kids in one room and black kids in another? Which race would have to clean the chalkboard and pass out papers?
