To listen to the tape simply look for the link above the womans picture. I thought the 911 operators were completely incompetent.
"Tucson police have released the recordings of several 911 calls that were made last month in connection with the kidnapping and torture of a former Pima County beauty queen’s ex-boyfriend.
In the recordings, callers reported hearing gunfire along with a man screaming for help.
Kumari Fulbright, 25, a UA law student who has since been suspended from school, is accused of kidnapping the 24-year-old man, binding him with plastic cable and duct tape and holding him captive in two homes."

Is it any surprise the term clinically depressed is mentioned by the third paragraph? Excerpt:
"On Thursday, they laid out in elaborate detail the story of how the clinically depressed Tegtmeier carefully made sure she was home alone with her 20-year-old autistic son, tried unsuccessfully to kill him and then committed suicide.
Investigators said on Jan. 4, Tegtmeier called Ankeny Schools at 7:30 a.m. and said her son Rory Jr. was sick and she cancelled his bus pickup. Tegtmeier also called a siding company that was coming to work on her home and told them not to come because of a family matter. She then called her husband at his Ames office and left a message that she could not keep their 11 a.m. lunch appointment.
...
During interviews with Rory Jr., 20, who has autism, investigators learned that Rory Jr. struggled to get free from the cord and forcefully pushed his mother away. He then hid in the basement, later telling investigators he was scared of his mother."

Article here. Excerpt:
'In that decade, I found myths and lies about “Violence Against Women” with respect to both rape and domestic violence were both de rigeur, and vehemently defended by many who knew good and well they were defending myths and lies, and would privately admit as much. Their justification for this dishonesty was simple and pragmatic - police work is after all, a political job. Anyone who seeks advancement to positions that involve more face time with cute reporters and television cameras than with burglary reports and false alarm calls will keep their ears open for the latest tune being called by the politicians. “Violence Against Women” has been a buzzword for at least a generation now, and any police officer of any rank that exposes a reality not in concert with the absurd statistics and draconian measures put forth to combat this “epidemic of violence” is unlikely to advance.'

Story here: Excerpt:
'... some proud, single men say they're better off alone.
"A man is a sperm bank, a meal ticket, a handyman and an early retirement plan," Gulvin says.
For those reasons and others, he has decided to go through life without committing to one romantic relationship.'
This is an AP story that appeared on the back page of the local paper today. The treatment is not as even-handed as one would like, but is better than I would have expected from my local Leftist/Feminist fish-wrap. I think the reporter wasn't sure how to sneer at men for being single by choice when women have been lauded for "independence" for so long.
Men are learning to take a long, cold look at the women that are trying to manipulate them into a "relationship", and ask the key question, "what's in it for me?". Most of the time, the answer is going to be "Not as much as it is going to cost you." This story is about some men who have asked the question and come up with a realistic answer.

Story here. Excerpt:
'Groping and verbal harassment is an exasperating reality for women using public transportation in this sprawling capital, where 22 million passengers cram onto subways and buses each day. Some men treat women so badly that the subway system has long had ladies-only cars during rush hour, with police segregating the sexes on the platforms.
But that hasn't helped women forced to rely on packed buses, by far the city's most-used form of public transportation — until this week.
Acting on complaints from women's groups, the city rolled out "ladies only" buses, complete with pink signs in the windshields to wave off the men.
...
While only seven female public bus users complained last year, she said the real number of offenses was probably much higher, because women rarely protest openly against sexual harassment.'

Anderson Cooper: Race or Gender?
The main thing to be noticed about the article, and the interview it discusses, is how all the people involved, including the author, are women (except for Cooper himself, who does not give his own opinion, of course). This is absolute proof positive that all gender issues are defined from the perspectives of women (In this case the interviewees are of different races, but of the same gender as mentioned).

Rudov has entered prime time. Many hate O'Reilly but he does have the highest rated show within the 8-9PM time slot. There has been some debate between myself and other MANN contributors in regards to Rudov. I need to state that I definitely feel he is an MRA ally. Clip here.

A friend of mine told me about this story. It took me a half hour to find it. When a man commits a crime its reported to CNN within minutes and becomes the headline later that evening. Excerpt:
"A 35-year-old Fontana woman was arrested Sunday for allegedly killing her husband and two small children, according to the Fontana Police Department.
Bertha Martinez was booked on three counts of murder in connection with the killings of her husband, Marcello Martinez, and her children Amy, 7, and You may, 8 months, said Fontana Police Sergeant Jeff Decker.
Police found Marcello Martinez deceased on the floor of the living room at the family's residence in the 16600 block of Orange Way. He had suffered head trauma apparently caused by blunt force, police said.
The two children died as a result of suffocation or asphyxia, police said. The children were found in their beds covered with blankets."

Story here. Excerpt:
What Chris Mathews said is 100% correct in my opinion. It's obvious the Clinton campaign used these feminist supporters to counter-attack Mathew's opinion. Is there any doubt Hillary is playing the gender card? If Hillary becomes president will feminists try and censor every negative comment directed towards her? Excerpt:
Last week, the host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” issued an odd semi-apology for allegedly “sexist” and dismissive comments he made about Hillary Clinton on the network’s early-riser show, The Morning Joe. Matthews told that show’s panel:
'"[T]he reason she’s a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around. That's how she got to be senator from New York. We keep forgetting it. She didn't win there on her merit."
...
And the leadership of the feminist movement made an attempt at censorship.

This is an update about the woman who abducted a 13 year old boy and fled to Mexico. A custody battle has developed between the biological father and Peterson's parents. Excerpt:
'In late November, 25–year–old Kelsey Peterson pled not guilty to a charge of crossing a border to have sex with a minor.
Now Peterson's former boyfriend William Long is fighting to gain custody of the couple's 8–year–old daughter.
"He really feels that they have an established relationship and that at this time that would be the best thing for his daughter," said Attorney Jason Ossian.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'Boys need to be taught separately from girls from the age of five to prevent them being damaged by the education system, an expert claimed yesterday.
Dr Leonard Sax argues that boys are "turned off" by starting formal education too soon when they are expected to sit down and keep quiet in class...
...Dr Sax, a research psychologist in the U.S., claims this has led to an epidemic of unmotivated boys and under-achieving young men.
He said: "With boys you have to start right away. If you wait until secondary school, you have waited too long. From the age of five, there are clear advantages in all-boys' education when teachers know how to take advantage of it."'

From an announcement sent by email from the author:
"My book, The Woman Racket, is out from February 4. It's the very first to draw on the recent scientific findings re the actual root of sex difference, and all of the other research showing hitherto unexpected massive sex differences; with major implications for our view of men-women. Most importantly, we now know that there is no 'power' interaction of any kind between the sexes, so the notion of men 'oppressing' women is a non-starter. Right from first principles, and evident in all of the social research, it is axiomatic that not women but men -- or, rather, the majority of men -- must always be the principal disadvantaged sub-group in all societies. This properly scientifically based analysis, when it 'filters through', will mean the complete discrediting of 'political correctness' and effectively the end of it."

Have you or someone you know been caught in the clutches of domestic violence and needed help?
Everyday hundreds of men in America experience this situation. If they dare to approach a program funded by the Violence Against Women Act for help, far too often they are RIDICULED AND SENT AWAY.
So in spite of the Congressional mandate that VAWA not discriminate against male victims, less than 10% of persons served by VAWA-funded programs are male - see http://www.mediaradar.org/ovw_foia_data.php.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION TO STOP THIS TRAVESTY!
Today we are unveiling the RADAR Civil Rights Project. The project is devoted to the simple notion that men who have suffered from partner violence are just as deserving of help as females.
This Alert is our call to action.
Have you ever experienced sex-based discrimination by a DV service provider? Have you called for police help, and told to go away because they said you were probably the abuser? Has friend of yours ever been given a straight-arm by a VAWA-funded program?
