Has Spiritual Abusiveness Driven Some Men From America's Churches, “Volunteer” Organizations, and More?

Men's News Daily has just moved most of its authors to blogworks, due to the way Google searches on news stories. Here's a first submission through blogworks.

Has Spiritual Abusiveness Driven Some Men From America's Churches, “Volunteer” Organizations, and More?

Excerpt:
'Much has been written about the spiritual and emotional abuse of Churches in America, but that abuse, targeting also Fathers and men, extends far beyond those supposedly safe havens. In today's world, the spirit of Fathers and men is deserving of respect and courtesy, but is assailed on all sides with insults, put-downs, unfair characterizations, judgmental attitudes, condemning comments, negative stereotypes and a host of other destructive imagery, and visualizations. The emotional and spiritual abuse of men extends far beyond the realm of America's Churches, into the institutional settings of education, law, entertainment, commercial advertising, news, and more.'

Father Tasered Trying to Leave Hospital with Infant

Story here. Excerpt:

'HOUSTON (AP) - In a confrontation captured on videotape, a hospital security guard fired a stun gun to stop a defiant father from taking home his newborn, sending both man and child crashing to the floor.

Now the man says the baby girl suffers from head trauma because she was dropped.
...
David Boling, an off-duty Houston police officer working security at the hospital, and another security guard can be seen on the surveillance video arriving at the elevators and trying to talk with Lewis. Lewis appears agitated as he walks around the elevators holding his daughter in his right arm.

Within 40 seconds of arriving, Boling is holding the Taser. He walks around Lewis and whispers to the other guard, who moves to Lewis' right side.

About a minute later, Boling can be seen casually standing near Lewis, not looking in his direction, when he suddenly raises the Taser and fires it at Lewis, who was still holding his daughter.'

Remember men, a man holding a baby is ipso facto a criminal!

The Next Duke U. Case? G.I. Jane Claims Rape

Rape or party?

Excerpt:
'Airman 1st Class Cassandra Hernandez, 20, said she got drunk at a party the night of May 12, 2006, and she admits that her memories of the evening are fuzzy at best. Airman 1st Class Jerrel Apache, Airman Russell Basile and Airman Rotez Butler also admit they had been drinking for several hours.

But fuzzy memories alone can’t explain the discrepancies between what they say and what she says happened after the party, in the early-morning hours of May 13, 2006.

Hernandez told investigators that the men gang-raped her in a dorm room. The men say Hernandez consented to have sex with each of them, and that she instigated the sex."

Baby Left in Car Dies-- Mother not Charged

Story here. Poor Dearism taken to the point where even criminal negligence leading to infant homicide is excusable. Excerpt:

'A Wyoming County mother who left her young child in her car while she worked will not be charged with the baby's death.

Lynn Brol said she forgot to drop her 5-month-old son, Brayden, at day care on Aug. 2 and drove directly to her job at a credit union in Arcade.
...
The boy was found dead by his mother at the end of the workday, nine hours later.
...
The death was ruled accidental. Brol could have been charged with criminally negligent homicide, a charge that would result from conduct so reckless it results in a fatality.

An autopsy showed that Brayden was otherwise healthy with no bruises or suspicious marks.

Arcade Police Chief John Laird and his office investigated the death. "It was a tragic accident and I support the DA's decision," he said.'

RADAR Alert: Attend the Pro-Family Rally on the DC Mall August 18-19

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.

Forum: Criminalizing America's fathers?

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.'

Article Still Resonates

Thanks to Tony for this link:

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.

Wikipedia: Global Male Suicide

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.

Boycott Askmen.com

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...
