RADAR ALERT: Sword or Shield: Illinois Bar Journal Exposes Restraining Order Abuse

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.'"

The Onion: "Man Finally Put in Charge of Struggling Feminist Movement"

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."

Fireman who donated sperm to lesbian couple fights demand for child maintenance

Story here. Excerpt:

'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.'

Story here. Excerpt:

"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.

'A bookshelf of wounded manhood' belittles men's rights issues

Posted for Marc A.: This ignoramus just printed an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer making all the typical clueless arguments against the men's rights movement and even making typical straw man attacks, mis-framing our movement completely. Please let's slam the editor with letters in response to this. Please write to the editor at Inquirer.Letters-at-phillynews.com and copy oped@phillynews.com and the author at alubrano-at-phillynews.com. Be sure to give the Inquirer your name address and phone.

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.

Rudov: Misandry on Madison Avenue

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.

Child Support Not Reaching Children - Gov't Just Keeping Most Money

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?

Judge rules sperm donor liable for child support

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.

Debunk Domestic Abuse Junk-Science

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.

Law professor exposes Human Rights Commission for ignoring male domestic violence victims

Letter here. Excerpt:

'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.'

Roe v. Wade for Men Shot Down Again

Article here. Excerpt:

'Should a man be able to avoid the obligations of parenthood when he became a father involuntarily? No, according to the recent ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals which has dismissed Matt Dubay’s "Roe v. Wade" for men case.

On appeal, the court considered one basic question: Does the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause prevent a state from making men support children whom they did not desire to produce? The court decided “no,” because the Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit all differentiations on the basis of sex. It guarantees only formal equality - the right of likes to be treated alike.'

More junk science from LiveScience

Look at this, will you. Read the interpretation of findings. First off, does anyone think these findings are really defensible? And second, it seems whenever men talk more it's about domination and when women talk, it's about "connecting".

"JunkScience", as I am now calling it, is owned by Imaginova, Inc. It seems they also own a number of other science-related news sites as well. However there are scant details of who is running things. Anyone have knowledge?

Rudov: "When woman hits man"

Marc Rudov was recently vilified by Media Matters for stating the truth about women being as violent -- and many times "more violent" -- than men. The Media Matters website then blocked comments that solidified Marc's fact-laden position.

Mr. Rudov recently wrote a response -- on his blog -- to Media Matter's slanderous statements.

The blog reads: "Our societal attitude is: When man hits woman, it’s violence; when woman hits man, it’s emotion. This hypocritical attitude, resulting in the unconstitutional Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), gives women a free pass to accost men and to falsely accuse them of violence and rape. Aside from the occasional arrest, such as what happened to “bachelorette” and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader, Mary Delgado, for punching “bachelor” and fiance Byron Velvick (both appeared in the 2004 season of ABC’s The Bachelor), most women who hit men do so with impunity.
