"So men are at far greater risk of heart disease, and their premature deaths portend institutionalization and financial hardship for their wives.
You'd think the American Heart Association would have programs designed especially to help men. They don't.
But not to worry, the AHA does have a gender-specific program - "Go Red for Women."
That's right, the Heart Association has designated this Friday, February 1 as National Wear Red Day. Here's the latest fashion tip from the AHA:
"National Wear Red Day has its own dress code. Wear your favorite red clothes or accessory - a red blouse, a red dress pin, a fabulous red handbag."

"The NOW Foundation is going on the offensive this year with our 2008 Feminist Super Bowl AdWatch," said NOW Foundation President Kim Gandy. "Almost as many women as men watch the Super Bowl, and millions of girls and boys are glued to the screen as well," said Gandy. "That's why our feminist ad-watchers will be paying close attention to the commercials and ranking them based on their portrayal of women and other groups who often see themselves stereotyped, ridiculed or just plain missing in high-profile ads."
Somehow I suspect that there won't be enough lesbians represented in the beer commercials. Just a hunch...

"Murderer Yvonne Johnson was granted day parole Thursday, but despite her years in prison, the family of the man she tortured and strangled say they haven't found justice.
...
She was one of four people who attacked Skwarok, believing him to be a child molester. She sodomized him with a wooden stool leg and strangled him with a telephone cord."

"White working-class boys are doing significantly worse at school than almost all other groups of pupils.
A mere 15 per cent finish compulsory education having mastered the three Rs, official statistics show.
For black boys from similar backgrounds, the figure is 22 per cent while for Asians it is 29 per cent and Chinese 52 per cent."

Politically correct nonsense -- based on anti-male claims -- invade XBox Live. Now males can't even play video games without being labelled as predators. I suppose since they are losing in the real world arena -- with ladies nights being banned across the country -- they move to video games? Pathetic.
Here is an excerpt from the webpage (Notice the woman flexing a muscle. This was actually adopted from a feminist rendering): "Monday nights are for the ladies! Each Monday, Xbox GamerchiX gather to play together on Xbox LIVE®. This isn’t a chance for the guys to find girls to play with, fellas, this is strictly for the girls. (If you’re a dude looking for a chance to game with girls, check out Frag Doll Friday!)"
So male gamers are banned from playing with female gamers on this night because women claim they are afraid of being "hit on" by men.

"British women in their thirties want mates. They can’t find any. Why? Because most eligible males are selfish, mixed-up man-boys chasing no-strings sex, says our correspondent."
Angry, man-hating rant from another feminist entitlement princess. There is a section for posting comments below. Tell her what you think.

Video story here.
Get the commentary: the reporter says the woman "suffers from Munchausen syndrome..."
"Suffers from"? So if a man runs around and marries, then divorces or abandons a string of women, is he considered a psychiatric case or a criminal? Well this woman is facing criminal charges, but because she is pregnant with her 4th child (by as many men), I doubt she'll do the same kind of time a man would. And what if she didn't have the kids? I doubt she would then, either.
Men get jails, women get diagnoses. Keep an eye on this one.

'A Mississippi teacher admitted to cops that she had sex with a 15-year-old male student to whom she sent explicit text messages and trysted with in her Jaguar, which bore the license plate "GRRRRR."

Bogard, pictured in the mug shot at right, is facing felony sexual battery charges. She has been suspended with pay and is free on $50,000 bail.'
Will she be let go because of some "emotional" issue? She's already back on the street and most likely will get her job back if she gets off.

Article here. Excerpt:
"U.S. Census Bureau data released this month reflects the disparity. About one-third of women between age 25 and 29 had a bachelor's degree or more education last year, compared with 26 percent of males in the same age bracket, according to the bureau.
Enrollment and graduation figures from public New Hampshire and Maine colleges and universities are in line with those statistics.
Enrollment within the University System of New Hampshire has been just under 60 percent female to just more than 40 percent male for at least the past 10 years, according to spokesman Matt Cookson. The system includes UNH, Plymouth State University, Keene State College and Granite State College.
...
Economic changes are partly to blame for boys' performance, he said, since a loss of agriculture and manufacturing jobs have put many men out of work and into trouble. He said this has increased the number of boys who grow up without fathers and male role models."

Article here. Excerpt:
"Dr Sax, who is founder of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education in the U.S., claims that boys are suffering a toxic mix of failing to be engaged by the curriculum, over-prescription of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drugs and a lack of suitable role models. They no longer experience the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat due to a lack of competitive sport in schools. And they often return home to play computer games that make them disconnected from the real world as they displace family activities such as having dinner together."

The authoritative National Coalition of Women and Girls in Education (NCWGE) has issued a comprehensive new report (.pdf file) on the benefits of Title IX and "gender equity" in education. Among their findings:
“The real story is not bad news about boys doing worse; it’s good news about girls doing better. In fact, with a few exceptions, American boys are scoring higher and achieving more than they ever have before. But girls have just improved their performance on some measures even faster. As a result, girls have narrowed or even closed some academic gaps that previously favored boys, while other long-standing gaps that favored girls have widened, leading to the belief that boys are falling behind.”
Oh, I get it. If I just don't BELIEVE boys are falling behind, then I can start thinking clearly.

This woman allows her 2 year old to "annoy" the dog instead of removing him from a situation that she knows he could get hurt. She blames it on her 2 tear old son. Pathetic. She is the adult and should know better. Excerpt:
'A little Australian boy's face was horribly scarred by the family dog - but his mother vowed to keep the pet, blaming the attack on her son.
Two-year-old Noah Newbold is lucky to have the sight in his left eye after being mauled by his family's mastiff-staffordshire cross.
Deep cuts and scratches cover the left side of his face.
But, the toddler's mother, Alicia Cottier, said she was keeping the dog despite the attack because it had been provoked by her son pulling the dog's ears.'

This story on the BBC is a nightmare to read - the poor guy is almost deaf, blind and has brain damage - but it's good to hear firstly that she was found guilty, and secondly that not a single word in this article attempts in any way to reduce her culpability or make it out to be in some way 'his fault'. No 'woman as victim' crap.
It boils down to this - she researched methods of killing him on the Internet, settled on poison by anti-freeze, cooked him a meal and laced his wine on their anniversary, and did it all just to pay off some debts, even bragging about it to neighbors. If she doesn't get the book thrown at her it'll be a travesty.

I can't stand it when 5 year old boys are accused of sexual harassment. I would also defend a 5 year old girl if accused of harassment at such a young age. This incident is a much different. This is a disturbing case of sexual assault. Excerpt:
'A Texas kindergartener is accusing two of her female classmates of sexual assault, MyFoxHouston reported on Monday.
"She said two of the girls at school put glue in between her legs, in her private parts," the mother of the 6-year-old girl told the station. "Someone hurt my baby; she just seems different now."
The alleged attack took place inside a school bathroom, according to the report.
Doctors confirmed the unidentified girl suffered vaginal trauma and that glue was present when they examined her, the station reported.'

"A British girl tried to kill her parents — and filmed her murder attempt — according to testimony presented to a jury on Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported.
The girl, then 15, allegedly tried to strangle her mother in the living room of the family's house in St. Neots, about 57 miles northwest of London, while she was working on the computer.
She also is accused of planning to stab her father with a pair of scissors once he realized what was going on, according to the Mail.
The girl, who is 16, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempted murder."
