Tennesee Court of Appeals Favors Bastardy

Story here.

Same old story: Man sleeps with female; she sleeps with other men; she gets pregnant; keeps bastard; she picks one as father; HE NAIVELY VOLUNTARILY SIGNS PATERNITY ACKNOWLEDGMENT; pays support; DNA proves he is not the bastard's father; juvenile judge terminates his financial slavery and orders female to pay him back; higher court overturns pro-male judgment. Upside: he does not have to pay anymore bastard support in the future; Downside: will not get back payments already made since he did VOLUNTARILY sign a paternity acknowledgment.

Lesson: DON'T SIGN ANY DAMNED THING WHEN A BASTARD IS SAID TO BE YOURS! If your signature was not necessary they would not cajole you into signing away your life! DON'T SIGN ANYTHING!

On YouTube: Glenn Sack Talks About Bias in the Media

Check out this 10 minute video, in which Sacks talks about several specific cases where television, movie and musical performers, reinforce the idea that violence by women is OK.

One of these really astonished me, it is a video of a woman getting revenge on her ex by tearing up his car with a knife and baseball bat. It turns out the video was the first one ever written and directed by a woman to achieve "video of the year" awards, and was voted number one on CMT. Incredible!

For Young Earners in Big City, a Gap in Women’s Favor

The New York Times reports that in Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York City, the gender wage gap among people in their 20's favors women.

For women in Dallas it is as extreme as 120%!
Excerpt:

'Young women in New York and several of the nation’s other largest cities who work full time have forged ahead of men in wages, according to an analysis of recent census data.

The shift has occurred in New York since 2000 and even earlier in Los Angeles, Dallas and a few other cities.'

Female Movie Directors Face "Struggle for Equality"

Excerpt:
"Hollywood is still an old boys' club and boys are bullies.

The ultimate symbol of the film industry is a man, Oscar, clutching a sword and standing on a reel of film because he's defending his turf," said Tom O'Neil, columnist for theenvelope.com Web site. "I think that says it all."

Virginia wants to know if you might be a dad

Story here. Excerpt:

"The state Department of Social Services wants any man who is not married to a woman but could be the father of a child with her to voluntarily fill out a one-page registration.

The law, which went into effect July 1, is designed to protect men's rights in the case of a future adoption.

State officials emphasized that the confidential database is not an attempt to track sexual activity or partners. But it suggests men register "after relations with new partners or continued relations with the same woman."

Proposed Ohio Abortion Law Would Give Fathers a Say

Article here. Excerpt:

"Several Ohio state representatives who normally take an anti-abortion stance are now pushing pro-choice legislation - sort of.

Led by Rep. John Adams, a group of state legislators have submitted a bill that would give fathers of unborn children a final say in whether or not an abortion can take place.

It's a measure that, supporters say, would finally give fathers a choice."

Later on, the feminists get to say: "This measure is a clear attack on a woman's freedom and privacy."

What about the man's freedom to not have to pay child support for the next 18 years for a baby he didn't want to have? Say what you will about abortion, but if you want the baby, they you pay. If you don't and she does, she should pay.

"How to get through to a man"

Linked from the CNN main page as of this writing:
How to get through to a man taken from Oprah.com. Anyone else notice the link to Time.com on the top? Looks like CNN and Time are collaborating these days in their misandrist pursuits. Excerpt:

'Meet every protest and argument he makes, no matter how ridiculously false, with the observation that he is absolutely correct ... but you still want what you want. In boxing this is called rope-a-dope, and even if you don't know what the rope part means, the dope part sounds pretty applicable. This is called win-win -- except you did and he didn't.'

Sacks' Latest: 'Choosing Foster Parents over Fathers'

From Glenn Sacks:

'My new co-authored column, Choosing Foster Parents over Fathers (San Diego Union-Tribune, 7/11/07), discusses perhaps the worst verified child custody/family law injustice against a father and a daughter which I have ever seen--the outrageous Melinda Smith foster care case.' Excerpt:

"In the heartbreaking Melinda Smith case, a father and daughter were needlessly separated by the foster care system for over a decade. Last week, Los Angeles County settled a lawsuit over the case for an undisclosed sum. Yet a recent Urban Institute study found that the Smith case typifies the way the foster care system harms children by disregarding the loving bonds they share with their fathers."

Adoptive Mom Accused of Abusing, Starving Foster Kids for Decades

Story here. Excerpt:

'They were often handcuffed, tethered together with plastic ties and allowed to soil themselves, investigators say. They had scars on their wrists. Some had burns.

None appeared to have more than a fourth-grade education, not even the adults in their 20s. All were starving.

In all, nine teenagers and young adults were held like prisoners in Judith Leekin's home in what appeared to be a decades-long scheme to line her pockets with the government payments she received for adopting and raising them, police say.'

Daughter Accused in NYC Genital-Mutilation Death

Story here. Excerpt:

'Even for seasoned detectives, the crime scene in an apartment last weekend was horrific: A man, gagged and handcuffed, had been killed and his penis was cut off.

Investigators believe the suspect, Brigitte Harris, "did it," said a law enforcement official. "We are trying to determine why."

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Harris had not been arrested or charged, said police were checking reports that Goodridge, 55, may have abused Harris as a child. Detectives were hoping to question the 26-year-old suspect at a hospital mental ward where she was admitted after the slaying, the law enforcement official said.'

'Real roots of crime'

Article here.

An article in the Calgary Sun recently addressed the killing of Ephraim Brown in a unique way. Excerpt:

'A boy named Ephraim Brown was killed recently in Toronto, caught in a crossfire between the vicious thugs who populate large cities. It is a wicked and sad thing.
...
...feminist theory forbids examination of the true roots of crime because it makes them uncomfortable and violates the sacred tenet of their creed, which says men are essentially disposable.'

The author (Ian Robinson) does a really nice job of raising points that no one else is considering in all of this. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the tool and not look at the root cause.

RADAR ALERT: DoJ Must Investigate Nifong Now!

There is no case of prosecutorial abuse more overdue for investigation than that of Mike Nifong, the prosecutor in the Duke Case who tried to convict men he knew to be innocent. Last week, Nifong finally admitted that the men had committed no crime.

There is abundant evidence that prosecutorial abuse is not rare. There are many individuals in prison for crimes they did not commit, while those who did commit the crimes roam scot-free. The Innocence Project has freed over 200 of them. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

India: Equality or Privileged Treatment?

Do women really want equality or it's a mask for seeking privileged treatment? A good article by Chandan Mitra - a senior Indian journalist. Excerpt:

'At the risk of inviting the wrath of vocal women's activists in the metros, I must unambiguously state that I do not think there is any concerted or deliberate discrimination against women or in-built gender bias in the professions. In fact, India's record in this regard, be it politics, business, the civil services, law, medicine, academia - the list could be hugely long - is better than that of the West. Arguably, women do face some unequal situations in the home, but Indian laws are so draconian and unthinking that they have probably worsened the position of women in recent years. The Anti-Dowry Act (Article 498a) and the recently enacted Domestic Violence Act have done great disservice to gender harmony.'
