Well I am no doctor but can imagine the upsurge in this condition possibly having something to do with all the BCP estrogen and industrial chemicals getting into the water. But that's just layman's speculation.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Maharashtra's Nagpur town has been booked for allegedly poisoning to death her two teenage sons as she considered them a hindrance in her love affair, the police said Wednesday.

Geeta Wadekar, 36, has confessed to the crime after professing innocence initially and her friend Sanjay Bagade, 32, has admitted to having an illicit relationship with her, the police claimed.

"Geeta first told us her sons - 16-year-old Mayur and 14-year-old Ritesh - died of food poisoning after consuming stale tea Monday morning. But on being confronted with an empty bottle of Indosulfan recovered from her home, she admitted to having mixed the insecticide with their morning tea," Wadi police station officer D.J. Chavan told IANS."

"A few years ago Lionel Richie allowed his wife to knock him around a bit. When the media started to question his masculinity he reminded them that it didn't matter what line of defense he took, the media would turn it on him; if he hit his wife back in defense or retaliation, he'd become a woman-beater and abusive husband, but if he sat there and took it, he's labeled as less than a man. It doesn't matter what we do, we're vilified through the narrow focus of society and the media. The world has changed and it's folly to believe that our gender hasn't changed with it."

"Is maleness worth fighting for, can the culture be "cured" of its malebashing nature, or is the fight just not worth the hassle? Would it be better to let women take over the burden of running things? Also, any personal experiences with negative male stereotypes and how you handled the situation would be welcome."

'The problem, Katz contended, is a culture that glorifies violence, which lures boys into thinking being violent will give them the power and control they crave. He pointed to the videos released by Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho in April that showed him waving two guns around "like a bad Rambo caricature."
...
"The term 'male-basher' offends me," Katz responded. "Holding adult men accountable for their violence is an act of solidarity with young men and boys as well as women and girls ... Some men are in a place where they have the self-confidence and such that they can honestly look at this and not be defensive, and others aren't."'

"Wendie Ann Schweikert, a former elementary school teacher, began serving a 10-year sentence in June for having sex with an 11-year-old Black boy.

Ward, the daughter of a preacher, admitted to having sex at the school where she taught, a park, a motel and a restaurant after school officials found a note she had written to one of the boys. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison for each of three counts of lewdness against the 14- and 15-year-old boys, but they were reduced to six years in prison, to run concurrently."

'Days before, a 29-year-old Galveston City Hall worker was charged with sexually assaulting of 13-year-old boy who was a longtime friend of her stepson.

Within the same week, a Deer Park High School teacher was charged with having sex with a teenage student.

None of these woman have been convicted of any crimes."
...
"But in cases like the two recent Galveston County arrests, the women are rarely pedophiles, Reamer said.

Instead, the women are mentally close in age to their victim and rationalize their pursuit.

“In her mind, she’s relating to a guy her age,” he said. “Developmentally, they are much younger. They got stuck in older teenage years.”'

The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) has issued an urgent press release (.doc file) asking people to contact their Congressional representatives because President Bush wants to “slash” VAWA’s budget. The appeal includes a sample letter to write your state’s reps, with the typical feminist lies like this one – “Domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking directly affect at least 1 in 4 women in the United States and touch the lives of nearly all individuals.”

(I would agree that these feminist lies "touch the lives" of everyone; though the actual nature and extent of domestic violence is very much in dispute.)

When Ricky was 16, he went to a teen club and met a girl named Amanda, who said she was the same age. They hit it off and were eventually having sex. At the time Ricky thought it was a pretty normal high school romance.

Turns out she's 13 (so she lied about her age). Ricky is now a convicted sex offender for life. This flawed system has ruined yet another life. It's almost to the point where if a sex offender moves near you, you shouldn't even have to worry. Good job, judge!

A domestic violence shelter for men has opened in Ohio! It is a church-run shelter in Fostoria.

Those needing help or would like to help donate supplies or make a monetary contribution to The Bridge and First Step, call Terri Mercer or Esuga Abaya at (419) 435-7300.

Another "girl fight" story, caught on camera, with an adult woman involved. Watch it here.

People may ask why MANN reports on stories of "women behaving badly" so much. The reason is just this: People of both sexes apparently need to see the proof of the capacity of females to engage in dangerous, anti-social, and/or criminal behavior repeatedly to undo the prejudice that says that "women just don't do those things." It has to be repeated again, and again, and again, in order for it to sink in: Women are just as capable of violent, dangerous, criminal, etc. acts as men and do indeed engage in such behavior at rates comparable. It is only the fact that they are female that allows people to forget so quickly what they have just seen.

Double-think, as Orwell imagined it, comes in many forms, and the persistent but false belief that women can behave this way, or do so only with some "very good reason" (usually based on some purported reaction to what a man, or men, do), is one of those beliefs that we just need to keep hammering at.

Watch it here. Caption: "A 24-year old high school teacher has been arrested for allegedly sending photos of herself in various stages of undress to students."

Well I suppose it'd be one thing if they hadn't eaten in days and they were taking food staples like rice and bread to avoid ravenous hunger. But no. No sooner does the social order come apart when they are letting their fingers do the walking to make off at a 100% discount with all manner of luxury goods. Just amazing, really. Take a look here. What is truly remarkable is the utter brazenness and total lack of self-consciousness.

Story here. Excerpt:

'DURHAM, N.C. — More than three dozen current and former Duke lacrosse players plan to file a federal lawsuit against the university, the city of Durham and others involved in the case.

A spokesman for Washington-based attorney Charles J. Cooper said the civil lawsuit will be filed Thursday on behalf of 38 players who were not charged in the notorious case.

Spokesman Robert Bork Jr. declined Wednesday night to release the specific allegations made in the 30-count, 100-page lawsuit.'

Video here. Right at the end of the video the reporter notes the judge ordered a "psychiatric evaluation". In the Related Media list, this article also appears on the site; it was a special to the Seattle Times. Good to see it even if it is dated Sept., 2007. Excerpt:

'The decade long wave of sexual offenses committed by women — teachers in particular have exposed a cultural double standard: The public is more willing to accept the female abuser's claim that she had a "relationship" with the victim. And in cases in which the male is a teenager, the sexual abuse is more likely to be dismissed as a rite of passage. The questionable, yet overriding assumption, is that women predators are somehow different from men.
