'Systemic problems allowed an innocent Massachusetts man to be labeled a deadbeat dad and sent to jail.
...
Caliri was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he was accused of falling eight weeks behind on child support payments.

"There was a balance of $2,240," Caliri said.

He has proof of a good payment history. But problems came last spring with his new job at Daniel's Townline Pizza in Weymouth.

Townline Pizza garnished child support from Caliri's wages but never sent the money to the Department of Revenue for his ex-wife and three children.

He went to court last month to explain it all but instead went to jail.'

"A Santa in an Australian department store said today he has been sacked for saying "ho ho ho" and singing Christmas songs to children.

Employment company Westaff, which supplies stores with red-robed, white-bearded Father Christmases, had earlier asked its Santas to say "ha ha ha" because the word "ho", which is American slang for whore, could offend women, media reported."

This actually IS a joke, or was. Take a look at the MRA blog Heretical Sex from last December.

This joke has actually come true...

The National Post reports:

Despite a growing gender gap on Canadian campuses, universities are balking at a fledgling movement in the United States to make special efforts to attract more men, such as adopting affirmative action initiatives that favour male applicants over female ones.

Campus recruiters and admissions managers from Memorial University of Newfoundland to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver say they are taking no extra steps to target male students.

'Tampa cops today busted teaching temptress Debra Lafave for allegedly having illegal contact with a teenager at their job."

Lafave, 27, is best known for having a lewd-and-lascivious affair with a 14-year-old boy in 2004, and now she's serving three years of house arrest.

Lafave's allowed outside to work, and while on the job at a Danny Boy's restaurant is Ruskin, Fla., she allegedly had one-on-one contact with a 17-year-old female co-worker, state correction officials said."

The spoke privately about personal issues, in violation of Lafave's probation. Lafave was released without bond, but she'll have to face a judge about this alleged violation.'

In the November 2007 issue of the Illinois Bar Journal, Scott A. Lerner, Esq., takes a critical look at the Illinois Domestic Violence Act (DVA) in his article "Sword or Shield: Combating Orders-of-Protection Abuse in Divorce".

"There's no question that victims need protection from abusers," he writes. "But not all parties to divorce are above using OPs [orders-of-protection] not for their intended purpose but solely to gain advantage in a dissolution." And "the greatest potential for abuse of the system," in Lerner's opinion, "is in visitation."

As Lerner points out, "It is far easier to restrict visitation via an order of protection then by seeking the same relief under the IMDMA [the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act]. Under the IMDMA, 'A parent not granted custody of the child is entitled to reasonable visitation rights unless the court finds, after a hearing, that visitation would endanger seriously the child's physical, mental, moral or emotional health.'"

America’s Finest News Source reports – “After decades spent battling gender discrimination and inequality in the workplace, the feminist movement underwent a high-level shake-up last month, when 53-year-old management consultant Peter "Buck" McGowan took over as new chief of the worldwide initiative for women's rights. "All the feminist movement needed to do was bring on someone who had the balls to do something about this glass ceiling business," said McGowan, who quickly closed the 23.5 percent gender wage gap by 'making a few calls to the big boys upstairs.' "In the world of gender identity and empowered female sexuality, it's all about who you know."

'Andy Bathie, 37, a firefighter from Enfield, agreed to help Sharon and Terri Arnold after they assured him he would have no involvement in the children's upbringing and no financial commitment.

But he is now having his pay docked to pay thousands of pounds in child maintenance even though he has no legal rights over the boy and girl the couple had.

He was stunned when the Child Support Agency contacted him last November to demand payments because the women had split up.

Officials made him take a £400 paternity test and began docking his pay.

He says the payments mean he and his wife cannot afford to have children of their own.

He is now bringing an unprecedented legal challenge so that he is not recognised as a legal parent to the children.'

"One child in four does not consider their father to be close family, according to a study published today.

More boys view footballers as role models than their fathers and only one child in 10 said they would go to their father first if they had a problem.

Even among traditional families, fathers are much more in the background of children's lives than their mothers, the research carried shows."

Excerpt:
'Feminism is not stealing children from men during divorce, as many of these books contend. Feminism helped bring about gender-neutral laws, which led to joint custody of children being considered the best option in today's family courts.

From Marc Rudov's blog : "Your spellchecker doesn’t recognize misandry, the hatred of men, because the developers at Microsoft, when creating Word, weren’t conscious of it. But, they sure knew about misogyny, right? HR sensitivity programs ensured that. Bashing women is so verboten in Corporate America that people can lose their jobs over it. Excoriating men, on the other hand, is so infused -- and apparently profitable -- that, like breathing, most people accept it without question. And, nowhere is misandry practiced more than on Madison Avenue, the advertising capital of the world, the source of the male-bashing TV commercial.

A new report shows what MRA's have always advocated - the current child support system is a scam, a cash cow only for those who implement, collect, and manage the support payments.

According to this latest report, fathers, and the children/mothers they are supposed to be helping, are ALL suffering - embroiled in a futile, crooked system that promotes itself as "helping" children receive stability and justice from deadbeat parents. Who's the real slime bags? The alleged deadbeat parents, or the crooks taking the child support payments and putting it in their own pockets rather than the children's?

Story here. One only needs to look at the gender of the judge to know what the decision was going to be and how traumatic is it going to be to give an eighteen year old a DNA test.

"Family Court Judge Ellen Greenberg ruled Nov. 16 that despite the mother's willingness to have the child's DNA tested, the man could not seek a paternity test to determine if he is the biological father because the results could have a "traumatic effect" upon the child, who is now 18 and lives in Oregon with the mother.'

NEVER EVER become a sperm donor.

Rapex created by the misandrist Sonnet Ehlers is a medieval torture item that women can insert into their vagina that hooks into the skin of a man's penis.

The creation of this medieval torture item is based off of fraudulent rape hysteria stirred up by women's organizations and the politicians that serve them.

Debunk Domestic Abuse Junk-Science

To describe the effects of the systematic, domestic abuse theory discrimination (perpetrated against all men in America today) as a "tragedy" is actually employing a euphemism. Given the scale of destruction done to the targeted male population, it is more accurate to describe it akin to the beginnings of the holocaust in Nazi Germany, or the institutional persecution of African-Americans in the decades before the civil rights movement.

Tremendous abuse has been inflicted on innocent men through America's misandrist, and corrupt domestic abuse laws. What we see being done to men in our domestic abuse courts, family law courts, colleges and universities, mass media and other societal institutions in the name of domestic abuse law is a gross national disgrace.

'It is probably true that male victims, victims in same-sex relationships and the children associated with them do not face a postcode lottery - there are next to no services. The Scottish Government is funding a small-scale project to raise awareness of domestic abuse in same-sex relationships but it will not come to a magazine or billboard near you soon.'
