SFSU Student Paper: Female voters, women's issues more important in '08

Story here. Excerpt:

'From first lady to presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton has nearly come full circle in her image transformation. By running for the democratic ticket, she is challenging her contenders to work harder to appeal to women voters.

“I think that the effect of that is to keep women on the front burner,” said James Martel, associate professor and chair of SF State’s Political Science Department. “I think that it helps to focus people,” he said.

Martel said that women tend to vote for men’s issues, but men do not necessarily vote for women’s issues. “This will work to galvanize that,” he said.'

["women tend to vote for men’s issues" -- Can any of you guys think of one single male issue that's been at the fore front of any political campaign that was of great importance to a female voter?]

Dearth of male teachers likely to continue

Story here. Excerpt:

"Teaching traditionally has been dominated by women. But the gap has widened. The National Education Association recently announced that nationwide, 24.9 percent of teachers are men -- a 40-year low. In elementary schools, just 9 percent of teachers are men.
...
Some researchers said the lack of male teachers does not matter.

But Fusi and other educators said it's a disturbing trend because no,more than ever, children need a strong male figure to look up to.

Boys also have fallen behind girls in graduation rates and have more trouble reading and writing, leading some to wonder whether more male teachers would improve boys' classroom performance."

Baskerville on the Deadbeat Dad Industry

An excellent and comprehensive new essay (.pdf file) titled “From Welfare State to Police State,” by Stephen Baskerville argues that - "Through child support,(state) governments throughout the U.S. found they could turn a profit from the growth of single-parent homes. ... Child support became politicized by the early 1990s, when parents who allegedly fail to pay — "deadbeat dads" — became the subjects of a national demonology, and child support went from being a minor matter affecting a few people on the margins of society to a sacred political cow in the national vocabulary."

UK: Minister for Men Petition Dismissed

Blog entry here. Excerpt:

'There has been a government e-petition calling for a Minister For Men. It received over 380 signatories. The petition is set out below and the site has been alerted to the government's response. It is, as to be expected from this government which puts ignoring men at the centre of its policies, completely and arrogantly dismissive. It doesn't even answer the question why there is a Minister for Women and not one for Men.'

Men Carry Breast Cancer Genes, Too

Story here. Excerpt:

"Doctors are encouraging a new group of people to consider getting tested for genes that raise the risk of breast cancer: men. Male relatives of women with such genes often do not realize that they, too, may carry them, and face greater odds of developing male breast cancer, as well as prostate, pancreatic and skin cancer, new research suggests.
...
After seeing breast cancer in several male patients who did not know they were at risk, Daly conducted a small study, which was presented Friday at a conference in Texas. She now is trying to convince more fathers, sons and brothers of women with the genes to get tested."

Peter Zohrab: "The Frontman Fallacy"

An excerpt from the article: "The general point is that Feminists assume that men always promote their own interests over those of women. This is not, in fact, true. But, on the other hand, it does seem to be true that, when Feminazis score some political victory, they almost always use their newly-won power to benefit females exclusively. This is because of their persecution-complex.

You could even argue that democratic countries are actually matriarchies, and that male politicians are the paid servants of the Feminists. The litmus test would then be whether the (mainly male) politicians enacted legislation that favoured men's interests more than women's interests. And the history of the last two hundred years in the West is peppered with examples of mainly male governments enacting legislation that benefited women more than men.

Study: Children often fabricate stories of sexual abuse

An excerpt from the article:

"Dr Rawls told how a team of lawyers, police and psychologists got an unpleasant surprise when it assessed a study group of 30 five-year-olds - seven reported they had been sexually abused.

All 30 had been in the care of one man. The seven told of genital touching, the man putting his hands under their upper clothing, of his touching their bottoms and making them touch his.

The revelations were an unpleasant surprise because the assessment team knew there had been no abuse. The children had invented the incidents. Their every moment with the man had been videoed."

With cases such as the one in the article it is a no-brainer as to why men no longer want to be alone with children. One lie from the "little angel" and off he goes even though no evidence was provided. A lying mother and child is a formidable juggernaut in the misandric court systems.

Woman guilty of murdering husband with acid

Story here. Remember this one? I do. Excerpt:

'LOS ANGELES - A biochemist who killed her husband by knocking him out and pouring hydrochloric acid on him was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder.

A Superior Court jury found Larissa Schuster, 47, of Clovis, guilty of murdering Timothy Schuster with the special circumstance that the murder was committed for financial gain. His half-dissolved body was found a few days after his 2003 death in a barrel that was inside a storage unit that his wife had rented.

Schuster faces a mandatory term of life in prison without parole at sentencing, set for Jan. 16.
...
The Schusters co-owned a chemical lab and were in the midst of a bitter divorce.

Prosecutors said Larissa Schuster and her former lab assistant kidnapped her 45-year-old husband on July 10, 2003, knocked him out with a stun gun and chloroform-soaked rag, then dumped his bound body headfirst into a barrel while he was still breathing.'

Justice served.

RADAR ALERT: Boston Herald Fans Domestic Violence Hysteria

In an article entitled "Domestic violence at point of 'crisis'" published last week, the Boston Herald quoted Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett claiming that "domestic violence is murder waiting to happen" and demanding the Mass. Legislature "enact an emergency bill that would potentially double jail time for serial batterers before they maim or kill."

D.A. Blodgett clearly wants the terms "domestic violence" and "serial batterer" to conjure up a mental image of a menacing brute who beats women just because he can. But all across the nation, "domestic violence" has been defined down to the point where simply raising one's voice makes the accused a "batterer". RADAR has documented (.pdf file) how the systems in place act as perverse incentives to induce women to make false accusations.

Rudov: Female Violence Against Men in South Africa

Rudov: "This commercial from a South African florist warns the typical husband that, if he forgets a special occasion -- like an anniversary -- his wife will respond with violence, such as scrubbing the toilet with his toothbrush. If a man would do this to his wife, he'd go to jail. The message: violence against men is OK. You also must hate the men responsible for creating, producing, funding, and airing this crap.""

UK Guardian covers India's men's movement

Read it here. Excerpt:

'The cautionary tale appears to be part of a trend in middle-class India where male angst is on the rise. Men complain that they have lost their traditional role as providers as women work more. Further, women with independent incomes are refusing to submit to the traditional ideal of marriage where an obedient wife accedes to a husband's every wish.

The outcome is an undisguised backlash against Indian feminism and women's rights. One men's organisation is demanding a ministry for men, arguing that 82% of taxpayers are men but that no money has ever been allocated for "male welfare".

The protection enshrined in Indian law for harassed wives has also led to a deep-seated sense of male victimhood. The men's movement in the country has been fired up by what it claims is the "legal terrorism driven by radical groups ... which has resulted in the blatant violation of men's rights".'

Angry Harry writes: "The directors of this company are just very greedy people. They simply want to make money by making fun out of men being stabbed, and they are contributing to the already-widespread notion that violence against men is something to laugh about.

They are clearly very greedy people indeed.

So, are you actually going to do something about this sort of thing? - perhaps by emailing them with your views?

Or not?"

Fox TV Plans to Air "If Women Ruled the World" Reality Show

Due to the current writer's guild strike and some extra time slots to fill, Fox TV will premiere the reality series “If Women Ruled the World" in March. Reported here. Excerpt:

'If Women Ruled the World" will feature 12 unsuspecting chauvinistic men becoming slaves in a new primitive Survivor-like "society" ruled by 12 "strong, educated and independent" women who are "tired of living in a man's world."

... arriving on an island with only partially-completed living accommodations, the group will have to complete their shelters and find their own water and heat. However unlike the CBS reality show, only the male contestants -- who will have to "accede to the women's every command, 24/7" -- will be doing any of the work.

One of the men will be "traded for supplies" -- aka eliminated -- during each episode of the 11-episode series, with the last man standing winning $250,000.'
