'Women and the over-50s are being targeted in a new government drive to increase the number of people starting up and growing their own businesses.

The Treasury is investing £12.5m in a venture capital fund that will back women-owned businesses and provide support.

It is also piloting new women-only business advice based in children's centres and is planning a national mentoring network for women.'

The only way for women to start business is with special benefits eh? Well why change a habit of a lifetime...

'With this level of censorship, it’s no wonder that scientists are expected to hide research that suggests men and women are innately different. We can rest assured that a book like The Female Brain will never be assigned reading in a college classroom. Meanwhile, sociology and women’s studies textbooks are filled with laughably false assertions about gender. Legitimate scholarship is being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
...
Of course, not all feminists reject scientific explanations for gender differences — but they’re often out-screamed by the ones who do, allowing the denial to reach absurd new heights. In their book Professing Feminism, women’s studies professors Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge described a confrontation with a fellow feminist. The feminist was angry over suggestions that women should breast-feed babies, because — in her words — “research shows that men can lactate, too.”'

'Movies and television often portray having sex with an older woman as an exciting conquest. The Comedy Central show "South Park" shows police officers impressed that an elementary school student slept with an attractive teacher. One cop jokes to the another, "The crime is she isn't doing it with me!"
...
There are differences between men and women, but is there something about that difference that makes it less serious when a woman sleeps with a younger boy? Studies do show that most teenage boys who had sex with older women say that the sex was voluntary and the experience positive.
...
Regardless of what science or popular opinion say, the law makes no distinctions. When adult woman are caught having sex with younger boys, they are usually punished just as severely, sometimes more severely than men.'

"If a female political leader did get caught in a sex scandal, having her husband stand silently by the podium while she sought forgiveness would probably make matters worse. Many Americans would conclude that she was a castrating witch married to a wimp.

Maybe it's a sign of progress that men are now supposed to beg their wives' forgiveness for infidelity. Through most of history, wives were expected not to forgive adultery but to pretend it never happened."

"Ms. Clinton wants to have it both ways. Her pitch is that she's the best person, regardless of gender, to answer the White House phone. But she is also shameless about playing the gender card. Women ought to vote for her because, not only does she know what it's like to be a leader who can pick up the hotline, she also knows what it's like to be a 60-year-old waitress who's had to work hard all her life and put up with a cheating man. And besides, it's about time for a woman to be president.

Bill would criminalize making false allegations of abuse
March 13, 2008

Via ANCPR:

MARTINSBURG, WV -- Nine times, one aggrieved father says he fought to protect his name and his relationship with his daughters after he was accused of child abuse in a custody dispute.

The man, whose name we will not use to protect the identity of his daughters, said he is pleased that West Virginia legislators last week passed a bill that slaps criminal charges on those who falsely report child abuse or neglect in order to influence a custody case.

On Thursday, state senators passed House Bill 3065, after the measure met overwhelming approval in the House of Delegates last week. The bill charges those who make a false abuse report with a $1,000 fine, or forces the plaintiff to pay for the defendant's legal fees. The misdemeanor crime would also carry a punishment of up to 60 hours of community service.

School = prison... for boys, anyway. You know, with every such case of feminist-inspired abuse of boys and men, MRAs win another convert. Think the LAX players at Duke had ever heard of "men's rights" before their ordeal? You can bet they have now, and are ardent supporters. The target of this particular feminist attack will certainly, too, and he's only in 8th grade!

Keep it up, ladies (and manholes). Just keep it up. You're the best recruiting tool we in the Men's Rights Movement have. Excerpt:

'Michael Sheridan, an eighth-grade honors student who was suspended for a day, barred from attending an honors dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president after he was caught with a bag of Skittles candy in school will get his student council post back, school officials said.

The Today show asks "Is your mate cheating and how can you tell?" Absolutely no mention of women's infidelity or how prevalent that is. Replace 'mate' with 'husband'. Video here.

This excellent article discusses two recent notorious cases in the UK. Excerpt:

'The system is merciless to people who question the system. Charles Roy Taylor, whom I wrote about at Christmas, is in a similar situation. Mr Taylor is a 71-year-old with a heart condition. He was sent to prison for 20 months for being in contact with his stepgrandson, who has been in care since his mother died and who has repeatedly run away to see his grandparents. By breaching an agreement not to answer the door to him, Mr Taylor stands accused of “undermining the care plan”. But he and the boy's grandmother are the teenager's only living relatives. They will presumably be his first port of call when he comes of age and is thrown out of the care system. Mr Taylor may not survive that long: last week he suffered an angina attack that put him in hospital for four days. Is that in the interests of the boy?'

'I see the long-term harm done by absent dads and the lack of appropriate male role-models, and I experience the damage caused by unsocialised boys - both to themselves and to others - and their inability to function as men.

And yet I abandoned my own son, just at the time when he was starting junior school, and I didn't see him again for those ten crucial years when character development is at its most vulnerable. And I'm still not exactly sure why.
...
Fortunately, I knew that if I withdrew from his life, Joe wouldn't lack for male role-models: on his mum's side he has uncles aplenty and they're mostly of that warm, jocular, physical brand of masculinity that is easy and uncomplicated and supportive. They'd do, I thought. They're not me, but they'd do.
