Article here. Excerpt:
"Every day Mrs. Clinton talks up her candidacy as the Great Turning Point in History, the moment in time for women to shrug off 500 (or is it 5,000?) years of patriarchal domination and show they are the equals to men. The solution, of course, is more government programs, set-asides, and gender quotas.
I suspect the voters are beginning to tire how Mrs. Clinton parades her hurts as a badge of honor. In a recent interview she shamelessly worked the female victim angle: “But you know, our scars are part of us, and they are a reminder of the experience we’ve gone through and our history.”
This is shaping up as the first presidential election in history in which the candidates’ qualifications are defined not by their personal character or legislative accomplishments, but rather by who is the greater victim."

I read a "spoiler" review that offers a graphic view of the most intense gore scenes. I won't even mention them during this story submission. I consider them that offensive. I guess this movie is considered somewhat of a comedy because it deals with male genital mutilation. I suspect we'll be hearing a lot more about this movie as it approaches its release date. I'll keep you guys updated. Excerpt:
"I do see her as a superhero," says Weixler, 26, who grew up in Louisville, Ky., before attending Juilliard. "She's anatomically unique. Her power has to be learned, to use it for good. She doesn't seek out victims."
Then Weixler pauses and laughs: "Of course, this is also a ridiculous dark comedy. I took it seriously while we were making it, because I thought the concept was important and special. But it's also funny."
But it may be a tough movie to sell exactly because of its anatomically unique character, and because of a cultural atmosphere that can find even names of body parts offensive.

Men's activists might pause to consider, as part of the "thirty-five years" of experience that Hillary Clinton has brought to the presidential race, statements that Clinton made in 1998 in an address to the First Ladies' Conference on Domestic Violence in San Salvadore.
The experience that you have gone through is in many ways comparable to what happens with domestic violence. Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in today’s warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children. Women are again the victims in crime and domestic violence as well.

Article here. Excerpt:
'In a society where pedophiles are outed and shamed as part of prime-time entertainment, it has come to this: Tony Taylor, a Pittsburgh father, says he wouldn't come to the aid of a crying child lost in the mall.
"For a guy to think he can walk up and say, 'Can I help you, kid?' he obviously does not watch the news," said Mr. Taylor, a retired military officer who lives in Turtle Creek...
...
It can be tough being a man seen around children these days, Mr. Taylor and other men's rights leaders would argue. Gotcha shows such as "To Catch a Predator" and front-page stories about pedophiles have fueled such a fervor that just being around a child can raise unfounded suspicions.'
Not too surprising that only 9% of elementary school teachers are men.

Essay here. Excerpt:
'So, as a man, I am kind of wondering how this would work if Senator Clinton became President Clinton. Presumably, every mode of transportation would be full of women from every corner of the earth flocking to America because they would not have to worry about trifling matters such as immigration status, citizenship, and health care. Presumably also, any man swimming upstream against the inflowing tide of women would be declared “illegal” and sent back to wherever. Do I read it right: “Men need not apply?” Men, you still are illegal?'

For those who don't know, you can read movie reviews and rates for their entertainment value as well as their male sensitivity (misandry vs. male positive) value at the Men's Movie Guide. You can also review and rate movies yourself based on these factors.

Story here. Excerpt:
"Police arrested a woman Friday after her 7-year-old son told authorities she burned him in an oven, and a day-care worker was arrested for not reporting the attack, authorities said.
The mother, 26-year-old Tiffany Fraser of Tallman, was charged with assault and endangering a child, authorities said.
Police began investigating after the boy was spotted alone at a shopping center and told officers he had run away because "his mother had put him in an oven and burned him as a punishment," according to police reports.
The day-care worker, 37-year-old Joelle Lherisson, was charged with failure to report child abuse. Both Fraser and Lherisson were arraigned in Airmont Village Court and released until their next court dates."

"Men's chances of rising up the social scale in Britain have stalled because of greater competition from women and a slower rate of growth for top jobs, a study published yesterday reported...
...Worse still for men, Labour's goal to promote "equality of opportunity" failed to mention that any increase in social mobility was likely to create as many losers as winners, with men losing out to the increasing number of women pursuing careers...
...For men, the numbers who were downwardly mobile increased slightly while for women there was little change. The researchers said: "For the first time for men we are getting a situation where upward mobility is falling off and downward mobility is increasing...

Story here. Excerpt:
"Authorities estimate the four girls — ages 5 to 17 — had been dead for at least two weeks. Jacks told police they were "possessed by demons" and had died in their sleep, one by one, within a week of each other, court documents say.
Jacks was charged Thursday with four counts of first-degree murder. She said nothing during a hearing in Superior Court, where Magistrate Judge Karen Howze ordered her held without bond. Her attorneys had argued that she should be released to the custody of an adult relative pending trial.
Jacks could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted."

It should be no surprise to anyone that Eve Ensler et al are gearing up to once again corrupt the sappy, romantic holiday of Valentine's Day into another feminist hate-day as V-Day, or Violence Against Women Day.
However, I just had to laugh when I read this stating an effort this year to also include the New Orleans tragedy in their "festivities," calling the beleaguered city "the vagina of America."

"Users will find information on the phony Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) that is being used against protective mothers to revoke custody of minor children, with little evidence. Judges frequently ignore evidence of a father's violent behavior and grant him custody of children."

Seems the would-be president is ready to allow any woman to come to America with or without papers. Wonder what she feels about men in the same condition? Read it here. Excerpt:
'In broken English, one woman told Clinton how she wasn't making money as a broker anymore.
"I have no income at all," she said. "So how will I survive?"
Choking up with emotion, the woman said, "In my neighborhood, there are brand-new homes, but the value is nothing. I'm glad you are here so I can tell you, because you're going to be the president, I know."
A man shouted through an opening in the wall that his wife was illegal.
"No woman is illegal," Clinton said, to cheers.
Summing it up at the end, Clinton said, "We've only talked to a few people, but each of them talk about some part of the problem we are confronting. This is a problem that is only going to get worse if we don't address it."'
