'Texas voters will decide on November 6 whether to approve
Proposition 13, a dangerous measure which will harm innocent men by greatly eroding the rights of those accused of domestic violence. The measure grants judges the ability to hold without bail those accused of nonviolent, trivial, or accidental violations of temporary restraining orders.'

'CAMBRIDGE - After Anna Tang and her boyfriend broke up three weeks ago, prosecutors say, the Wellesley College junior began sending him e-mails telling him she would kill him.
Yesterday, police said, she almost succeeded.
At about 6:30 a.m., Tang sneaked into his dorm room at MIT, climbed on top of him as he slept, and plunged a knife into his back, Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Kontz said in Cambridge District Court yesterday, where Tang was arraigned.'

'October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and some researchers are urging the public to take a closer look at both sides of an issue that’s often presented from one viewpoint.
The media often frames domestic violence as a women’s issue, with stereotypes of “abusive husbands” and “battered women” prevailing in many stories on the topic. However, abuse by the female half of the relationship is just as common, studies are reporting.
The National Coalition of Free Men, a nonprofit organization that examines the way sex discrimination affects men and boys, issued a press release citing recent research into domestic violence.'

Press release here. Excerpt:
'Last week the US Senate passed a $10 million increase for VAWA programs. The amendment, sponsored by Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Patty Murray (D-WA) includes the following increases:
* $5 million to partially restore the cut the Senate CJS committee had previous proposed to Grants to Encourage Arrest and Enforcement of Protection Orders for a total of $60 million.
* $4 million for Engaging Men and Youth in Prevention Efforts.
* $1 million for a National Resource Center on Workplace Responses to Assist Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence.'
(Note - The 'Engaging Men and Youth in Prevention Efforts' is of interest to those who follow how VAWA funding is used to indoctrinate boys into a kind of Duluth Model feminism-lite DV brainwashing effort through school and church workshops. "Youth" is fem-speak for "boys." You won't see any attention paid to partner and dating violence initiated by girls.)

This is must see TV! The premise of the debate is about congressional and senate hearings on the proposed "Paycheck Fairness Act" This is a bill heavily supported by Hillary Clinton. Another woman does an outstanding job schooling Gandy on the wage gap fallacy. Its good to see the MSM giving equal time to others who challenge feminist propaganda.

'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."'

'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.'

“This person manipulated the circumstances with her guile and deception,” prosecutor Pat Gullufsen had told the Superior Court jury. “All she needed was someone to kill him.”'

'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.'

'"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.'

'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.'

'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.'
