Some people are upset, but the data shows that this will improve performance of both boys and girls. Let's see what happens! Excerpt:
'GREENSBORO, Ga. - Nearly four decades after this rural Georgia county stopped segregating its schools by race, it wants to divide students again — this time by sex.
Greene County is set to become the first school district in the nation to go entirely single-sex, with boys and girls in separate classrooms — a move born of desperation over years of poor test scores, soaring dropout rates and high numbers of teenage pregnancies.'

Story here. Excerpt:
"It's a lonely job, working the phones at a college rape crisis center. Day after day, you wait for the casualties to show up from the alleged campus rape epidemic -- but no one calls. Could this mean that the crisis is overblown? No. It means, according to campus sexual-assault organizations, that the abuse of coeds is worse than anyone had ever imagined. It means that consultants and counselors need more funding to persuade student rape victims to break the silence of their suffering."

NCFM-LA gets quoted in correcting a paper over its facts. Excerpt:
'COLUMBUS -- A common and popular belief that women are the vast majority of domestic violence victims came under fire recently in a response to The Telegram’s story entitbled “Safety top priority in domestic violence calls” which published Feb. 17.
Marc E. Angelucci, president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Coalition of Free Men, responded by e-mail and a blog post to the story and provided access to several studies by prominent medical, research and governmental agencies to back up his claims.
The various studies call into question the commonly held belief that female victims far outnumber male victims of intimate partner violence and/or that women do not typically initiate the violence, but only react or respond to violence committed against them.'

At a time when Violence against Women Act (VAWA) is increasingly criticized for its ineffectiveness and harmful effects on American families, Sen. Joseph Biden recently introduced International Violence against Women Act (I-VAWA).
RADAR's analysis of I-VAWA (Senate bill 2259) reveals it would:
- Harm the family.
- Impose ineffective and harmful programs on other countries.
- Create a new federal "super-agency" that would control many
aspects of U.S. foreign policy.
- Ignore violence against men and other forms of violence.
- Funnel millions of taxpayer money to ideologically-driven
organizations.
More information on the problems with I-VAWA can be found here.
I-VAWA is almost identical to VAWA, a law that has already contributed to the destabilization of American families and caused immense harm to children.

On February 25, 2008 Scott Hudson of Waterford will formally announce his candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District.
Hudson believes that the integrity of the family must be respected and that the role of the family in America is vital. The mother and father both need equal and full access to their children, and that the role of the state must be secondary to children having both parents in their lives.
No matter where your location is please email Mr. Hudson with your words of encouragement.
He is a very strong advocate for EQUAL parenting rights and like so many men have been damaged by a biased family court system.

Article here. Excerpt:
"Letty Cottin Pogrebin was disappointed because Hillary was being over-shadowed by a "whipper-snapper" named Obama. She said Obama was inexperienced and not ready to be President and that he should wait his turn- say maybe another 8 years, but in the mean time what she wanted was Hillary Clinton in office as President for the next 8 years!
While a black man should wait his turn!
Why, women have paid a long hard price for this moment! And how dare a 'whipper-snapper' upstart like Obama upstage the long awaited crowning of woman! This is what all women have been waiting for! Waiting and working hard for the opportunity to choose a President who is not a white male! But NOT a black man! This is NOT what the feminists wanted when they said they wanted a choice! Waaaaaaaaaah! Not a black man! (Cry some more here)
Just when a woman is about to win for once, then comes the first black man! Heaven forbid! Or, did heaven sic 'em on her?"

Article here. Excerpt:
"In one of the most popular cases of the new feminist agenda, the New York City Fire Department was sued by a woman who claimed that the physical examination to become a firefighter was too taxing for women. She won. The FDNY was forced to create new physical testing tailored toward women so that they may be allowed easier access to the profession. Here, the goal of feminists to kill objectivity is clear. They are not concerned that tests of that nature are specifically devised to make sure, for example, that one would have the ability of pulling a 200-pound man out of a building and down a ladder. To these feminists, the safety of citizens was second to gender representation."

Story here. Excerpt:
'A New Cassel woman was charged Sunday with killing her three young children after years of family members' efforts to remove them from her care.
Nassau police charged Leatrice Brewer, 27, with one count of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Jewell Ward, 6, Michael Demesyeux, 5, and Innocent Demesyeux, 1.
...
Brewer will be arraigned Monday either at her hospital bedside or in First District Court in Hempstead, Smith said. Doctors will perform mental and physical evaluations to determine whether Brewer, who friends and family members said works part-time jobs as an office assistant and as a cashier, is well enough to leave the hospital or whether she should be transferred to a psychiatric facility, Smith said.
...
Brewer's grandmother, Maebell Mickens, said she was trying to take legal custody of the children from Brewer. And the father of the two younger children, also named Innocent Demesyeux, said he "tried his best to take them away."'

It doesn't take long for the MSM media to take an issue that has a negative effect on men and somehow turn it into some new crisis among girls. It seems the importance of one girl on steroids is the equivalent to a 1000 boys taking the drug.

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."

Column here. Excerpt:
"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."
...
[Dr. Helen's Partial response]
"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."

Article here. Excerpt:
'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."'
