'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.'

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.

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.

'A Royal Air Force typist who injured her thumb at work is to be paid almost half a million pounds by the Ministry of Defence.
...
It is eight times more than a soldier would receive for losing a leg and almost double the amount he could expect if he lost both legs.
...
The woman, believed to be in her 20s, developed a repetitive strain injury while typing computer data.

She claimed it left her unable to work and caused her to become depressed, and she started legal action against the MoD.'

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.'

'Police in Washington County say a female caregiver raped a man for whom she was caring.

Alyson Bush, 41, of Washington, Pa., is charged with rape of a mentally disabled person, institutional sexual assault and related offenses.

Donegal Township police Chief Ethan Ward said the man's mother contacted them after her 32-year-old son told her that Bush had been forcing him to have sex with her.'

More on this disturbing charge against two 13-year-old boys facing possible jail time for an innocent teenage action. The outcome could require these boys the injustice of registering as life long sex offenders. Apparently, the junior high school students would innocently "smack" other students on the backside, a ritual other girls have admitted participating in. Excerpt:

'The boys spent five days in a juvenile detention facility and were charged with several counts of felony sex abuse for what they and their parents said was merely inappropriate but not criminal behavior.

But the boys, if convicted at an Aug. 20 trial, still face the possibility of some jail time or registering for life as sex offenders.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'The victim incorrectly identified Briscoe. He refused a plea deal offering 20 years in prison. And then he was convicted, sentenced in his mid-20s to 45 years behind bars.
...
By then Briscoe had done 24 years behind bars and been denied parole because he refused to express remorse for a crime he didn't commit...

Two months before the parole hearing, two DA's investigators showed up at prison and handed Briscoe an envelope. In it was a long, white swab used for DNA sampling.
...
"They said in 24 hours we'll be back with the results. And the results were beautiful," he says.

He was free the next day.'

Essay here. Excerpt:

"Great, so if big-brother is a chivalrous fellow who treats men and women differentially under the law and elsewhere, now what? This is where differences of opinion are likely to burgeon (and perhaps political affiliations as well). Are women coddled too much, or are men punished too severely (generally speaking)? In other manner of speaking, should we lock women up and throw away the key like men are often treated for certain crimes? Or, should we send more men into counseling/psychological services instead of prison in an attempt to garner more empathy/sympathy for men in a similar way that women are sometimes treated?"

'The Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Initiative is one of President George W. Bush's efforts to shore up families through marriage and parenting programs that help parents, especially men, overcome barriers to supporting their children financially and emotionally.

An estimated 47% of U.S. children live in homes without their fathers, according to the department.

"If you look at some of the statistics -- they're earth-shattering," said Tara Wall, a spokeswoman for the office in Washington, D.C.

"In 1960, fewer than 10 million children did not live with their fathers. Today, the number is nearly 25 million. A third of these children won't see their fathers at all during the course of the year."

Children who grow up without their fathers are far more likely to fail in school, engage in criminal activity and abuse alcohol and drugs, according to human services department and numerous studies.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'"I don't think anyone will deny that girls are academically superior as a group. Girls are more academically powerful. They make the grades, they run the student activities, they are the valedictorians."

Christina Hoff Sommers, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, was explaining how she came to worry deeply about boys. In the book-lined parlor of her suburban Washington home, she ticked through a familiar but disturbing indictment: More boys than girls are in special-education classes. More boys than girls are prescribed mood-managing drugs. This suggests to her (and others) that today's schools are built for girls, and boys are becoming misfits. As a result, more boys than girls drop out of high school. Boys don't read as well as girls. And America's prisons are packed with boys and former boys.'

'Michel Kazatchkine, the executive director of the Global fund, a leading international health agency, also called For increased funding.

"I believe that the evidence is overwhelming for the efficacy of circumcision," Kazatchkine told The Associated Press on the sidelines of the meeting. "And if countries come to us ... I see no reason at all why we wouldn't fund that."'

The Caledonian Record, a newspaper that covers parts of New Hampshire and Maine, just printed two replies, here and here, to the White Ribbon Campaign's and Jackson Katz's anti-male sexism and misandry. These men go around misframing partner abuse to be primarily male-on-female, putting feminist ideology over social science so that female violence and male victims remain swept under the rug. They get away with it by playing off stereotypes and ignorance, and because very few people challenge them publicly.

Story here. Excerpt:

'DURHAM, N.C. - Disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong acknowledged Thursday there is "no credible evidence" that three Duke lacrosse players committed any of the crimes he accused them of more than a year ago, offering for the first time a complete and unqualified apology.

"We all need to heal," Nifong said. "It is my hope we can start this process today."

Nifong's apology came as a judge began considering whether to hold the former Durham County district attorney in criminal contempt of court for his handling of the case.'

From the looks of the article, mothers are losing their children to adoption agencies for no good reason. There are two fathers mentioned if I remember correctly.

But I also know thousands of men lose their kids to vengeful mothers too. For some reason, its never an epidemic unless the female is on the losing end. I wonder if it will sink in that what these mothers are going through, men have been going through it since the start of radfem leadership.

Excerpt:
"Six weeks ago, the Mail told how social workers tore a baby from her loving family to put her up for adoption. Since then, scores of parents have contacted us with horrifying stories of children stolen by the state. How dare the courts continue to gag them?
...
This sweeping shake-up in social policy was designed for all the right reasons: to get older children in care homes into happy new families with parents.
