Yes, you guessed it gents. Girl abandons baby in hospital. In less than two weeks, she wants the baby back. As usual, an article with the normal female bias: "She is not a monster. She is just human like the rest of us. She just made a poor, bad decision." Let's just not talk about what would happen if a "confused and depressed" 18 year old father did the same thing. I can think of four things that would happen: felony charges, felony conviction, hard prison time, and no sympathy from the press and television news.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Every year thousands of Americans are victimized by a swindle known as the "immigrant abuse scam." What's amazing is this shake-down is paid for by the U.S. taxpayer under the guise of stopping domestic violence.

One of those persons was Roger Knudson, 64, of Arizona. When he discovered his wife was having an affair, he filed for divorce. Fearing the judge would learn her visa had expired and order her back to Mexico, she fell into a rage and attacked him.

But the DA refused to prosecute the assault. Then the illegal went to a local woman's shelter that provided her pro bono legal services and told her to accuse her husband of the very crime that she herself had committed. "I have spent thousands of dollars since 2002 clearing myself of the accusations," Knudson wrote sadly.

So here's how the scam works: A woman makes an accusation of abuse. The laws define domestic violence so loosely that she doesn't need to provide a scrap of evidence -- she only needs to scream "abuse!" So the judge issues a let's-play-it-safe order.'

Is the Christian Men’s Marriage Movement Covering Up the Dying Pains?

Some voices in the Christian community have recently proclaimed a message, calling for men to participate in the promotion of marriage in America. One can only wonder what hapless thinking has inspired such irresponsible advocacy for so dangerous a venture.

"Why," reportedly is the last word uttered by Pastor Winkler in this life, after his wife shot him in the back with a blast from a 12 gauge shotgun.

It appears to me that the killing of Reverend Matthew Winkler has set a new low standard for treatment of Christian men, and non-Christian men, in the institution of marriage. Nowhere, in my opinion, is this new low more apparent than in Christian Fundamentalist Churches across America as evidenced by the killing of Reverend Matthew Winkler.

It's time for some political news. This is one of the better articles regarding Hillary's Marxist ambition as commander and chief. Excerpt:

Take a look at this story. This is a teacher (male) being "hunted" now that he is suspected of having sex with two of his students. Not at all defending his actions, just wanting to contrast how police and the press handle the matter. Compare it to this story. Story 1 excerpt:

'Santaluces drama teacher hunted in student sex case
...
"It is a heinous act," Detective Sgt. Thomas Wallace said. "You send your children to school and expect them to get an education – and not a sex education – especially from the teachers."'

Story 2 excerpt:
'She's the former schoolteacher who had an affair with a student, Vili Fualaau, a relationship that began when the boy was just 12 years old.
...
Mary Kay LeTourneau sacrificed it all: husband, kids, her job and her freedom, all for the love of a schoolboy, Vili Fualaau.

Marc Rudov writes "Just when you thought that legislative, judicial, law-enforcement, media, and reproductive biases in favor of women were the epitome of double standards, there is new evidence that "life control" is increasingly shifting to the female domain: in four years, women also will rule men financially. Remember this the next time the waiter brings the check to your table, and your woman insists that YOU pay it — or worse, you acquiesce."

Reality setting in yet gentlemen? Misandry, Greedy/spoiled women, Affirmative Action and chivalrous men have ensured that every man will be a legal slave by the year 2010. That's if it has not occurred already. Wake up guys stop coddling the enemy!

Look at this, will you. Do you suppose for even one second that had the young man been either female or a few years older that this officer (a sergeant, no less) would have behaved this way? And to think, we can elect representatives and all, and still, this happens. Notice how he taunts him with such phrases as "young boy"? Can you imagine him calling a woman a "young girl" like that? Never.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Workers in a Russian region have been given today off to have sex in a bid to boost the birth rate.

Today has been declared the Day of Conception in Ulyanovsk, Lenin's birthplace, when couples are told go to home and multiply.

If they succeed they could win a car, cash or a fridge.
...
The scheme is championed by Ulyanovs's governor, Sergei Morozov.

"The leadership (of the country) is interested in the family," he told AP Television News.'

Other countries continue to value the family. This is just another of the many ways in which Feminism undermines our society.

Imagine a father ties his 14 year old daughter to a bed, pulls down her pants and spanks her with a heavy wooden brush until she wets herself. Would he walk free from court? Excerpt:

'A WOMAN who struck her teenage daughter's bare buttocks with a hearth brush until she wet herself left a Tasmanian court unpunished today.

Justice Peter Evans said it was unnecessary to punish Michelle Joyce Cooper because she already had to live with the consequences of her actions.

He placed her on a three-year good behaviour bond.

The Primrose Sands woman was found guilty in the Supreme Court in Hobart last week of assaulting her 14-year-old daughter.

Cooper, 46, tied her daughter to a bed, pulled down her pants and hit her with a wooden hearth brush after becoming angry with her for wagging school, the court had been told.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The decade long wave of sexual offenses committed by women — teachers in particular have exposed a cultural double standard: The public is more willing to accept the female abuser's claim that she had a "relationship" with the victim. And in cases in which the male is a teenager, the sexual abuse is more likely to be dismissed as a rite of passage. The questionable, yet overriding assumption, is that women predators are somehow different from men.
...
"Men are demonized, women are diagnosed. Men are beasts, but women are troubled or mentally ill," said media scholar Matthew Felling in an interview with Fox News. In fact, accounts of women sexual offenders are often more titillating than harsh. Felling calls the news coverage of young, attractive teachers involved with their students "part crime drama, part Penthouse letter."

Yeah, it was predictable. The husband murderer was cleared by a hick judge to do the Oprah Show over the objections of her in-laws.

Lifetime Channel man hating movie of the month next for Bloody Mary? Sure, why not? Excerpt:

'A few hours after one Tennessee judge ruled that Mary Winkler could go on television and talk about why she killed her preacher husband, another denied her request to travel out of state to be on the show.
...
A press release issued earlier this month from "The Oprah Winfrey Show" promised that Winkler would open up about the abuse, reveal details from the day her husband died and explain why she has decided to speak up now.
...
After allowances for time served, Winkler spent about a week in county jail before being transferred to an unidentified mental health facility.'

From Marc A.:

On August 28, 2007, the Appellate Division of the County of Riverside in California reversed the sexist decision of Judge Robert W. Armstrong that held the crime of indecent exposure only applies to men and not women. The case is People v. Alexis Luz Garcia, Riverside Appellate Case Number APP004054.

The defendant, an adult female, was charged with indecent exposure (Penal Code § 314(1)) after she allegedly unclothed in front of a boy because the boy continued playing basketball when she told him to stop. Judge Armstrong said the conduct may have been 'very silly and illegal' but that it did not warrant having to register as a sex offender. He also held that indecent exposure cannot apply to women because the statute says 'exposes his person.' On that basis, the trial court dismissed the case. The appellate division reversed, holding there is no logical reason why a woman cannot commit indecent exposure, and citing numerous authorities interpreting the statute to be gender-inclusive despite the word 'his.'

I’ve always had unusual ideas for promoting men’s issues, and now I’ve got myself right into maybe the wildest idea yet! I’ve entered a romance novel competition, and I need a lot more votes before Friday if I’m going to make a showing there!

This is the First Chapters Romance competition at Gather, and the Grand Prize is a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster, which is not something to be sneezed at. Imagine the romance genre being invaded by a man-friendly author! There are no “beta male” characters in my books, no deeply-flawed bad boys, just (mostly) decent human beings who sometimes turn out to be heroes. As in real life.

I figure a lot of you have already joined up at Gather to check out the Men’s Issues Group, so why not take it one step further and vote for my book here. Leave a comment if you like! You will have my undying gratitude…

The following is an excerpt from Baskerville's recent Open Letter to the Board of ACFC:

"In recent years, able individuals who have served in leadership positions within ACFC have departed in frustration and anger: Jane Spies, Diana Thompson, Stuart Miller, Murray Davis, David Usher, Ed Truncellito. Each cited leadership problems in his or her departure. These people quickly went from being respected and trusted friends to being anathematized as if they were enemies, much as figures appear and disappear in a Kremlin photograph."

Ed. note: I debated with myself re posting this submission. Then I thought it through-- an open communication from the president of ACFC, even if it is critical of its own organization, is news in the context of MRA work and so there is no reason not to post it. But it's no secret that inter-group politics and conflicts of interest and personalities are found in MRA circles-- unfortunately, that part isn't news.
