John Murtari has been taken to jail (once again) for daring to present father's issues in public in New York. Is this the kind of treatment that peaceful protesters, petitioning their government regarding fathers' and men's issues, can come to expect under a "Clinton Presidency?"
Please write a letter to Senator Clinton, and please be polite.
A Kids Right

Here is Senator Clinton's contact info and my letter (below) to Senator Clinton, who will soon be campaigning for your vote in CA, and your state (if she hasn't already been there). Feel free to borrow whatever parts you like from the letter below, then send it to her, politely please.

India plans to review the domestic violence act in wake of serious criticism about the act.
My blog mentions the major criticisms of Domestic Violence law.
While not much can be expected out of the conference planned by the government. It is first time that there is talk now in the government about the misuse of the Domestic violence act which is important. Of course the battle will take years with the improvements in every country acting as positive loop.

Well, fellow MRAs, I finally got a response from Molson regarding their misandrist Molson Canadian ad. Here's the response I got:
Dear Evan:
We appreciate the time you have taken to share your concerns over our recent Molson Canadian advertisement and we welcome the opportunity to respond. The ad was intended to be funny in nature and it was never our intention to offend anyone with our advertising. We understand there will be differences of opinion and no advertising campaign will suit everyone's taste, just as no product will appeal to everyone.

Story here. Excerpt:
"New Jersey appeals court recently ruled that an ex-wife who brutally killed the son she had with her ex-husband does not automatically lose the right to collect alimony from him.
Linda Calbi is currently in prison, serving a 3-year term for beating her 14-year-old son Matt to death. She will be eligible for parole in November 2008..."
This case reminds me a lot of one I previously read about in which a woman had sexual intercourse with a man while he was drunk and unconscious, then bragged to some friends of hers that she had saved herself a trip to the sperm bank. When a man has sex with a drunk and unconscious woman, few people have trouble calling it what it is: rape.
The woman who had sex with an unconscious man in lieu of going to the sperm bank got pregnant, as she intended, and then sued the man for child support. The court ordered him to pay it.

The wages of sin... bankruptcy. Read it here. Excerpt:
'JANUARY 15--Disgraced and disbarred, Mike Nifong is now bankrupt. The former North Carolina prosecutor, whose career imploded with his botched handling of the Duke University rape case, today filed for bankruptcy, listing liabilities in excess of $180 million.'

Wow, this guy Bob Herbert is a classic example of a male feminist. See his NY Times Op-ed. An excerpt:
"With Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s win in New Hampshire, gender issues are suddenly in the news. Where has everybody been?
If there was ever a story that deserved more coverage by the news media, it’s the dark persistence of misogyny in America. Sexism in its myriad destructive forms permeates nearly every aspect of American life. For many men, it’s the true national pastime, much bigger than baseball or football.
Little attention is being paid to the toll that misogyny takes on society in general, and women and girls in particular."

Via Marc A. Article here. Excerpt:
'Prague, Jan 14 (CTK) - The term of domestic violence does not necessarily have to invoke the picture of a battered woman since the number of maltreated men is almost equal, and every third Czech man has experienced some kind of domestic violence, the latest issue of the weekly Tyden writes.
While dozens of studies focusing on male victims of domestic violence have been made abroad, only one survey on this subject has been conducted in the Czech Republic, without the media even noticing it, Tyden writes.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'In response, Romney, who was governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, said that he could not recall a circumstance where such a thing had occurred, but said, "If you’re familiar with such, let us know."
We appreciated Romney's offer, and decided to take him up on it. We only had a couple of days to act, since it is widely believed that Romney will drop out of the presidential race if he is not successful in Michigan's primary, which is Tuesday, January 15. Ned Holstein, Executive Director of Fathers & Families, put out an email asking for cases, and I posted my Call to Action! Romney Asks for Cases of Falsely Accused Fathers on Thursday. Your response was overwhelming, and on short notice we collected 300 cases to present to Romney.'

Via Marc A. Article here. Excerpt:
'Of the myriad forms of discrimination men cite, one looms over the rest: The egregious treatment meted out to fathers in the throes of contested child custody following the "no-fault" divorces most of them did not initiate or desire. My files bulge with stories of disenfranchised fathers ripped from their children's arms and lives. They have lost their homes, their careers, fortunes, friends and reputations, often on the basis of false allegations of abuse (for which their female accusers are virtually never punished). I wouldn't mention such anecdotal evidence, if the anguish in these testimonials didn't jibe with objective data confirming the shameful gender bias that dominates the family law system.'

Hello guys. I am truly sick and tired of all the misandric BS in horror movies like the abhorred upcoming abomination, "Teeth" (and they said women had better verbal skills? lol), thus I've decided to offer my fellow MRAs another of my brainchildren, "You Should Know Better", a horror movie written for men. At the current time, it's just a rough script, but I'm sure you guys would probably enjoy it. I do intend to make it into a movie someday. And all the deaths are not only deserved, but the victims bring them upon themselves. Karma's a biatch. lol. I will warn you though, most of the victims are men, but I didn't do that on purpose. There is a female victim, too, but she gets it the worst, IMO. So I did that to kind of build up to the last scene. I must also warn you that the second last death seems really bad when you read it, but there's a twist that makes it more bearable. If you'd like to read it, Email Me and I will send you the script.

With the advent of YouTube, everything a presidential candidate says on the campaign trail is potentially important. As Big Media loses credibility and the homemade content of YouTubers and bloggers gains credibility, more and more people are turning to the Internet for news and information. Remarks that once went unnoticed are now fodder for online analysis and commentary.
The rise of alternative Internet media presents an opportunity for RADAR supporters to educate the nation about some of the problems with the domestic violence industry and where the various candidates stand in relation to those problems. RADAR has crafted two questions, one for Democrats and one for Republicans, that you can ask the candidates when they come to your area.
Democrats:
False allegations of domestic violence have become widespread in our country and disproportionately disadvantage minority communities. Restraining orders obtained through false allegations of domestic violence rip parents out of children's lives. If you are elected president, what will you do to stop these violations of civil rights?
Republicans:

This is quite a misandrist harangue, IMO, by Erica Jong:
Who's Tired of Pink
"I am so tired of pink men buying bombs and cheating schools. I am so tired of pink men having wives who stand behind them and nod sagely on television. I am so tired of pink men expecting that someone--a brown, black, yellow or white woman--will trail behind them changing light bulbs, taking out garbage, washing laundry, keeping food in the house, taking care of kids of all ages, of parents of all ages. I am so tired of pink men whose wives double or triple the family income thinking they can spend it without doing a damn thing at home."

Story here. Excerpt:
"A sixth-grade girl at Perry Hall Middle School lied about being sexually assaulted this week in a school restroom, Baltimore County police said yesterday.
Based on their investigation, police concluded that the incident did not occur, said Bill Toohey, a county police spokesman.
...
The girl described her alleged attacker as a construction worker employed on a renovation project at the school, but police determined that he had no involvement, Toohey said.
Police said their investigation included interviewing the girl and the worker and reviewing video from one of the school's 18 surveillance cameras."

Suzanne MacNevin at the Feminist e-Zine has a serious beef with the men’s marriage strike:
“There is a growing plethora of anti-feminist websites out there ... (claiming) ... that feminists are out to get pregnant and get alimony/child support payments from their deadbeat dads/husbands.
* "Marriage is a trap designed to enslave men."
* Feminists use divorce to take away a man's children and his money."
* "Bachelorism is the only way to fight feminism."
If the men in question actually believe these kind of bullshit statements there isn't a lot we women can do to change their minds. They have essentially become brainwashed by the philosophy of bachelorism and thus can't commit to a relationship (and likewise would probably make horrible parents and adulterous husbands)."
Thought you would enjoy the reading.

Fathers 4 Justice and the Coalition of Free Men Expand Outreach
Fathers' for Justice, L.A. and the National Coalition of Free Men, L.A. expanded their educational outreach in Los Angeles County today, with a rally in Columbia Park in Torrance, California. Once again, a significant number of folks read our big signs and stopped by to talk with us about "the issues." Even a couple of Torrance Park Rangers stopped by to say “hello” and find out more about us. Judging by the responses of the citizens of Torrance today, there appears to be a definite need for educational outreach through F4J and NCFMLA to those good people.
