YouTube: Hillary How Do I Deal With Bad Men?

This comment by Hillary was reported to MANN several months ago. The article was great, but you really need to watch the video to see her true feminist ambition.

Ann Coulter's Take on Hillary & The Feminist Movement

I am not an Ann Coulter fan, but this is an interesting segment from HardBall with Chris Matthews.

Gender Politics Key to Hillary’s Political Calculation

Article here. Excerpt:

'There, Clinton recounted her time working as a lawyer when she became pregnant with her daughter, Chelsea. “I kept getting more and more pregnant, and the lawyers just kept sort of walking down the hall looking away.”

She also lamented women could be discriminated against today for getting pregnant. “Women can be fired just for being pregnant, if their employer has no leave policy,” she said. “If that sounds horribly outdated that’s because it is.”
...
When pressed for details on how she managed Mr. Clinton’s infidelity she said, “I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in even in the midst of those challenges, and I'm really happy that I made that decision."'

Wrongly Convicted Man Sued for Child Support

Article here. Excerpt:

'Dwayne Allen Dail, 39, was cleared in August of the 1987 rape of a 12-year-old Goldsboro girl. The girl identified him as her attacker and hair found at the scene was similar to his. But DNA evidence found on a fragment of the girl's nightgown years after the trial proved Dail wasn't involved in the attack.
...
Dail, who now lives in Florida, was served Tuesday with a lawsuit by Lorraine Michaels, the mother of his son, who is seeking back child support. The suit does not specify how much money she wants, as is normal in North Carolina, but asks a "reasonable sum for the care and maintenance of the minor child." Dail did not provide while he was in prison.'

Update to this story is here. Excerpt:

'ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A stripper-turned-soccer-mom accused of borrowing from a movie plot to kill her fiancé for money was convicted Monday of first-degree murder.

Male educators in elementary schools are rare, but embraced

Article here. Excerpt:

'According to a recent article in Newsweek magazine, the number of male teachers has reached a 40-year low. In elementary school, only 9 percent of teachers are men, down from 18 percent in 1981.
...
"Like the other male teachers interviewed for this story, Rosa says he's careful to do "sideways" hugs with his students and to abide by other guidelines when it comes to touching them. (High fives are definitely OK.) The male teachers were all cognizant of the fears about pedophilia, a subject that's gotten high-profile media attention, but none so far has experienced a problem. Some male teachers are married; some aren't. Some have kids of their own, some don't. All speak about how deeply rewarding a teaching career is. Ghafoor says he plans to earn a master's and possibly become a principal, but the rest say their place is forever in the classroom.'

"Childlessness Bothers Men More Than Women"

Article here. Excerpt:

'"That male attitude may come from their most primal being, explained Barry Ginsberg, a Pennsylvania psychologist specializing in relationships. "For a man, the loss of having a family and carrying on the gene pool makes men helpless, because they can't give birth," Ginsberg said.

From an "evolutionary standpoint, men would go around impregnating all the women they could find, so that at least one of those women would survive and produce a child," he explained.'

Encouraged by Women's Response, Clinton Stresses Female Side

Article here. Excerpt:

'At the next Clinton stop, a town hall meeting in Derry, N.H., Leslie Harrison, 52, said the fact that Clinton is a woman is important as she considers how to vote in the New Hampshire primary. "Men have been making a mess of things for a long time," she said. "A woman would be more sensitive to sending our children off to war."
...
At the same time, in a theoretical general election test against Republican front-runner Rudolph W. Giuliani, Clinton has a lead that is almost entirely attributable to women. She also has a gaping lead among self-described feminists, according to the same poll. Men and women who call themselves feminists preferred Clinton 64 to 30 percent, while those who did not were evenly divided between Clinton and Giuliani, 48 to 46 percent.'

NOW Leader Slams Glenn Sacks over Column on False Rape Accusations

Article here. Excerpt:

'However, some of her assertions lack validity. My assertion in the column that the Clothesline Project is a feminist event which encourages women to "rage at the patriarchy" is correct. More importantly, Boguski dredges up the old feminist myth that "false allegations of sexual assault occur at the same rate as false allegations of other violent crimes, at just 2 percent of charges.'

Woman claims cheating husband 'walked into' knife

Story here. Excerpt:

'After an argument with her cheating husband, an Iowa woman says she grabbed a knife to protect herself and he walked into it
...
Dr. Richard Nelson, a prominent Iowa pediatrician and a medical college dean, had died of a stab wound to the heart.

His wife of 33 years, Phyllis Nelson, was charged with his first-degree murder.

She'd pleaded not guilty, claiming it was an accident.

She said she'd held the blade straight in front of her in a posture of self-defense when she rounded a blind corner and her furious husband walked right into the blade.'

Hidden Harm: The Granting of Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

Article here. Excerpt:

'Although it is not politically correct to say so, women can and do use false allegations of domestic violence to gain sole custody and to get their children to hate and fear their fathers. Even when a restraining order doesn’t snowball into complete parental alienation, a judge’s declaration that a father is an abuser can permanently tarnish his image in his child’s eyes. The damage to father/child relationships and to children’s mental health caused by the overzealous entering of restraining orders, however, is seldom if ever reported, while the harm caused by overtly violent acts following the failure to enter restraining orders most certainly is.'

Behind on child support? Forget getting a hunting license in Kansas

NYTimes: 9/11 Is Seen as Leading to an Attack on Women

Review here. Excerpt:

"With “The Terror Dream,” Susan Faludi has taken the momentous subject of 9/11 and come to the conclusion that it led to ... an assault on the freedom and independence of American women. In the wake of 9/11, she argues, the great American cultural machine churned out a myth meant to “restore the image of an America invulnerable to attack” — “the illusion of a mythic America where women needed men’s protection and men succeeded in providing it.”

New Book: "The Neglected Voter: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma"

THE NEGLECTED VOTER: White Men and the Democratic Dilemma

From the book site review:

'The White Male Gap, as Kuhn terms it, comes to explain not only why these workingmen “left the party they had once built,” but why they came to believe Democrats stand for everyone but white men. He tells the story of the effect of terms like “angry white male,” explaining that these men did not want to be viewed as victims but “were no longer comfortable being portrayed as the reason everyone else was a victim.” Kuhn tells of the effect on men as factory jobs are lost, as pensions wither, as families’ breakdown, as popular culture mocks regular guys as “dumb down dads,” while the same men are told they should feel powerful due to “white male privilege.” In telling the story of how those deemed powerful came to feel powerless, he weaves the reader through the political battles of our time.'

Woman kills husband, gets convicted, gets 35-50 years, then governor commutes sentence to 10 years

This Iowa woman kills her husband and leaves the body in the house for over a year. She gets convicted by a jury and gets 35 to 50 years in prison. She becomes a disciplinary problem in prison, but this doesn't stop the governor from doing the politically correct thing. He commutes her sentence to no more than 10 years. Give me one example, just one, where a man received the same deal for a similar crime against his wife. Of course, the article makes sure that all the wonderful things she is doing in prison are noted. Excerpt:

'A Shelby County jury found Duty guilty in 2004 of second-degree murder for shooting Shanahan to death. Iowa's mandatory sentencing guidelines meant Duty would spend at least 35 years of her 50-year sentence behind bars. Former Gov. Tom Vilsack reduced that to 10 years before leaving office. Duty will be eligible for parole in 2014 at age 47.
