RADAR will be participating in an important pro-family rally at the DC Mall on August 18th and 19th. Advocates from many kinds of religious and secular organizations will be speaking at the rally on topics such as marriage, shared parenting, divorce, and social policy reforms.

Domestic violence continues to be an important social problem. The existing gender-based approach to domestic violence has failed to impact domestic violence trends because VAWA does not address violence or its causes. It funds radical organizations who devote substantial resources to covering-up for women's violence, shifting blame for it onto men, and mischaracterizing minor disagreements among couples as serious domestic violence.

A YouTube video staring Hillary and Kim Gandy. This is NOW's endorsement of Hillary. This endorsement was reported on this site about three months ago. The video certainly expands on the articles submitted.

This speech was submitted to YouTube about six months ago. This woman reminds me of a date rape seminar I was forced to attend at Syracuse. Definitely check out the comment and response section. Feminism: A politically correct hate movement!

Essay here. Excerpt:

'This plague of fatherless children is driven not only by culture but also by federal programs that subsidize single-parent homes through quasi-welfare entitlements for the affluent that welfare reform did not address.

In fact, the welfare subsidy on single-mother homes was never really curtailed so much as it was shifted. Reformers largely replaced welfare with child support, on the reasonable principle that fathers, rather than taxpayers, should support their children. But a profound unintended consequence has been the transformation of welfare from public assistance into law enforcement.'

Men Are They Really That Bad?"

Published in 1994, but a good one for your collection. Excerpt:

'The assumption is that men are fair game. Any man insulting is retributive: a payback for the years, the centuries, of male domination and oppression. And for the continuing Awfulness of Men.

This is a global suicide chart provided by The World Health Organization. As expected, the numbers show an overwhelming gender disparity. This information, while morbid, should serve as a sobering reality regarding the least spoken of MRA topics. The numbers are disturbing.

Askmen.com, an online men's magazine, has published this piece on their front page: Single Fathers’ Rights.

The article starts with back-handed shaming ... (would anyone ever qualify an article by questioning a mother's love?)

"Everything discussed in this article is predicated on two main ideas: that you “know” that you’re a good, loving father and that you want to play a significant role in your child’s life, and that you’re willing against all odds to get along with your ex -- the mother of your child -- to do so."

... Goes on to rhyme off sexist assumptions to justify anti-male family courts...

Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look

No mention of adding women to the Selective Service "draftables", either.

Snip 'not worth cost' -- CIRCUMCISION will be banned in Victorian public hospitals unless it is for medical reasons. The State Government has ordered the ban, which starts next month, following medical advice that circumcision of baby boys was unnecessary."

Our victory is inevitable, because truth, reason, and justice are all on our side.

Article here. Excerpt:

'The 32 men in the sport's pub are members of the newly established Men's panel, set up by Bekkemellem to introduce a public debate on men's rights. Men are falling behind in the education system, rarely get custody over children after divorce, and face other health risks than women, the minister argued.

The Men's panel will discuss these issues and more, and will advise the Government on the drafting of a forthcoming white paper on men and equality, due next summer.'

This article is about a female who used her ex-boyfriend's dead mother's credit card to purchase the winning ticket in a state lottery. She at first claimed to be a victim of DV and asked lottery officials to keep her winning the lottery private. What got her caught was she still used the dead mother's stolen credit card after winning the lottery! I guess all that slapping around from DV caused her not to think too good huh? Excerpt:

'Prosecutors said Christina Goodenow, of White City, used a credit card that belonged to her then-boyfriend's dead mother to buy a winning $1 million Scratch-It ticket in Oct. 2005.

Goodenow asked lottery officials to keep her win quiet, claiming to be a victim of domestic violence. But police learned of the crime about two weeks later, as Goodenow continued to use the stolen credit card.'

Looks like MRActivism works. The Indian Govt has decided to review the DV law passed last year. Two proposed laws have been put on hold! Story here. Excerpt:

'One law that is reportedly being misused the most is the Domestic Violence Act passed by Parliament just last year. The Supreme Court called it a clumsily drafted law and since its inception, it has even been slapped against some top bureaucrats.'

Essay here. Excerpt:

'In their book Men and Abortion: Lessons, Losses, and Love, Shostak and McLouth report that 44% of single men offered to marry the woman, 18% of the couples had discussed adoption, and half the men accompanied the woman to the abortion clinic - hardly the image of wholesale male abandonment.

When these men show up at the clinic, they are met with a chilly reception. Two-thirds of the fathers want to accompany their partner throughout the experience, and nine out of 10 hope to hold the hand of their partner in the recovery room. But in most cases abortion clinics prohibit men from such expressions of support.'
