'"Lord of the Dance" star Michael Flatley has been awarded an $11 million settlement against Tyna Robertson, the Joliet woman who accused Flatley of rape in 2002, according to published reports.

The settlement was reached Friday after the California Supreme Court ruled that accusations of rape made by Robertson, who has a son with Chicago Bear Brian Urlacher, were not credible, and part of an extortion scheme, the BBC and London's Daily Mail reported Saturday. '

Here is a video from this summer in Iowa, where Presidential candidates are interviewed regarding equal parenting. The interview is taped by William Wagner and is posted on his website, onsecondthoughttv.tv

Should any of these Presidential candidates move up in the "Presidential process," this bit of videotape could be huge in educating the public to the issue of equal parenting, and where the candidates stand on that and other issues.

Near the end of the video, one of the candidates can be heard saying he would do away with the Federal law known as VAWA, although it appears he may not have understood all the horrors against men that VAWA has created. Clearly more education of the public is needed, regarding the misandrist Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and how it discriminates against Fathers and men.

Now then, where do the other candidates stand on the equal parenting issue and other Fathers' and men's issues?

1. Did she grow up in a violent family? People who grow up in violent families where they have been abused as children grow up learning that violence is normal behavior.

2. Does she tend to use force or violence to solve her problems? Does she have a quick temper or overreact to little problems and frustrations, such as not finding a parking space or having a bad seat at the movie? Is she destructive when angry, throws things?

3. Does she abuse alcohol or other drugs? There is a strong link between violence and problems with drugs and alcohol. Be alert to her possible drinking/drug problem, particularly if she refuses to admit that there is a problem or refuses to get help.

4. Does she think poorly of herself? Does she prove her feminist independence by trying to act tough and independent? She may think that she is "acting like a liberated woman" but in fact she may be acting like a batterer.

5. Does she have rigid ideas about what a man should be and what a woman should be? Does she think that a man's only role is to take care of his wife, anticipate her wishes, and follow her orders?

'"A billionaire has to treat an upcoming marriage as a merger. But it's a merger with a potential enemy," says New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder. Prenuptial agreements are important, but they're no guarantee of a satisfactory split if things go south. Consider the divorce of Steven Spielberg and his first wife Amy Irving. She claimed their prenup was invalid because it had been written on a napkin and she hadn't had legal representation. A judge tossed it out; Irving got $100 million.'

It's panic time for Hillary. Obama mow leads most Iowa polls and has narrowed the gap in New Hampshire and South Carolina. If Hillary loses the first three primaries, her presidential changes would become severely diminished. It's now time for Hillary to ride her husband's coat-tails by having him speak at more campaign sites. This apparently isn't working. Now it's time to play the gender card. Excerpt:

How come a man who accidentally gets a woman pregnant and doesn’t want to be father is condemned as a “selfish, inhuman, deadbeat dad”; while a woman who accidentally gets pregnant and has an abortion is celebrated for being “pro-choice?”

Glenn Sacks comments on a recent editorial cartoon by Steve Kelley.

Via Marc A. Story here. Excerpt:

'The Hers Boxing Set comes in pink packaging and contains a man-shaped punchbag and a pair of boxing gloves.

ManKind Initiative said owners were encouraged to insert photos of a man for the punchbag's face.

A picture on the product packaging shows an arrow pointing to a man's groin, saying "kick him here".

Mark Brooks, chairman of The ManKind Initiative, said the fact that Superdrug did not sell a similar product for men suggested domestic violence against men was more acceptable.'

What bonehead let this girl (I hesitate to call her woman as that implies maturity) have custody of the kids?

And for a $200 tab? Couldn't she just get some short-term gig to cover that? Excerpt:

'DAVENPORT, Iowa — A Davenport woman received five years of probation Thursday for attempting to sell her 4-year-old son to help pay for a wedding dress.

Marcy Gant, 32, was convicted in October of purchase or sale of an individual and could have been sentenced up to 10 years in prison.

Gant was arrested in October 2006 after offering her son to a retailer to settle a $200 bill for the dress. Police said Gant offered the trade at least twice.'

This piece is sickening, and needs everyone to add their comments (most of them are already on the right track).

Basically, this is the situation: A woman gets into politics, the woman gets made deputy party leader, the woman gets offered her choice of cabinet positions, and the woman CHOOSES the position she wants. And of course, the fact that she doesn't choose what some people feel to be the best position, is A MAN'S FAULT.

Almost every single comment supports the MRA viewpoint, which is great to see - I wonder how long it will be before sexist hags like this are removed from the press?

Article here. Excerpt:

"Writing in Newsday this week, Robin Gerber, a senior faculty member in the Gallup organization and an expert on Eleanor Roosevelt, argues that Hillary “should play the gender card to the hilt” to deal with a “trust” problem that Ms. Gerber lays directly at the door of her gender.

Gerber argues, pointing to studies of the challenges women face in corporate America, that Hillary faces the same problem many high-level women do, who find that being aggressive and self-promoting leads both men and women to respond negatively to them, in ways they don’t to men with similar traits."

'BERLIN — Autopsies were being performed Thursday on the bodies of five young brothers who investigators believe were slain by their mother as authorities searched for clues as to how and when the children were killed.

The bodies of the boys, ages 3 to 9, were found in their home on Wednesday after their 31-year-old mother told a doctor where they were, prosecutor Uwe Wick said. It is believed that they were killed either on Tuesday or on Wednesday, he said.
...
The mother, whose name has not been released, was ordered held in psychiatric care after the grisly discovery and was to go before a judge Thursday for a ruling on a request by authorities that she be held during the investigation.'

'It seems guys don't need to worry about their paternal job security. As part of our special report “BabyQuest: The modern pursuit of parenthood,” we asked readers to respond to an MSNBC.com story about how scientists made artificial sperm from human bone marrow and asked, “Will science render men unnecessary?”

Reader Comment:

"Men and fathers are needed. They aren't just sperm donors but an essential part of our society. My son lights up when “Daddy” gets home and I can't imagine not having his male influence on my son."'

'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.
