Is it me, or is the United Kingdom leading the way regarding the improvement of boys educational needs? In this case, equality in the enrollment process. Excerpt:

'HOWELL'S private preparatory school, in Denbigh, has announced that it will start accepting boys.

From September this year the prep school will be fully co-educational but it is very unlikely that this will ever be the case for the senior school.
...
"School Principal Rachael Hodgson, who joined the school last summer from a co-educational background, believes that the boys will add to the 'Howell's experience', whilst benefiting greatly from it themselves."

"The nursery, has been mixed from its inception; I am so pleased that we will no longer have to say goodbye to our boys. I am delighted that the splendid facilities will be used even more."'

'Many labor experts say men are less likely than women to speak up about such cases of harassment for fear of being mocked by coworkers, and even fewer would take the charges to a government agency and risk widespread knowledge of their plight.

“Many people mistakenly believe that harassment is limited to females,” says Roberta Chinsky Matuson, a human resource expert. “The truth is that this type of experience is just as damaging to men.”'

Jack Kammer let me know that his book Good Will Toward Men is going to be available again. It was originally published in 1994 but has been out of print for several years. As Mr. Kammer describes, "It's a collection of interviews with women who love, appreciate and understand men -- and who are happy and eager to defend men against the ill-feeling and ridicule that is so strong in America these days." You can buy Good Will Toward Men as either a printed paperback or as a PDF download.

Story here. Excerpt:

"AKRON, OHIO: An American woman accused of offering her lover a share of her husband's multimillion-dollar estate if he would kill the 69-year-old Indian doctor was convicted of murder-for-hire and other charges.

The defence had argued that Donna Moonda’s 25-year-old lover, Damian Bradford, had acted alone and that Moonda had tried to revive her doctor husband after Bradford shot him along the Ohio turnpike. Federal prosecutors said the two were in it together and portrayed Moonda as a perpetual liar, thief and drug user.

The 48-year-old former nurse could receive the death penalty or life in prison without parole. Bradford, the key witness, has admitted to shooting Dr Gulam Moonda in the side of the head on May 13, 2005, after his wife pulled over on the turnpike south of Cleveland, supposedly to let her husband take the wheel. The jury also convicted Moonda of interstate stalking and two counts of using or carrying a firearm in the commission of a violent crime."

How horrible! A MAN *gasp* told two different women they were beautiful. We've got to put these nasty predators in jail so they won't be a threat anymore.

Surprise, surprise: infertile men suffer, too. You would easily find out if you only cared to ask them.

From Eurekalert:

Lyon, France: Although most psychosocial research into infertility is centred round the unhappiness it causes women, men suffer just as much, a scientist will tell the 23rd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday 4 July). [...] “Perhaps surprisingly, though, we found that men in all four groups suffered equally. Infertile people appear to rely particularly on their social environment for support, and this seems to deteriorate over time. Couples should be made aware of the possible decline in their social support network and encouraged to organise support systems that no not solely include close friends and family.”

An Israeli Knesset (parliament) committee has decided to investigate whether women who make false accusations go unpunished. Excerpt:

'"We contend that the police do nothing when it comes to light that women are lying in their accusations," said Gil Ronen, head of a group called Familists, which asked for Wednesday's meeting to follow up a similar one held last year.

Ronen said the failure to prosecute these women was particularly common in divorce proceedings, where, he said "lawyers advise their female clients to do this in order to win [key elements] in divorce cases."
...
"Many of these men's groups claims of discrimination are baseless," Kramer told the Post following the meeting. ...

She said she hoped that discussing the issue in an official forum would not deter female victims of rape and sexual assault from coming forward in the future.'

'LONDON, July 4 (UPI) -- An unmarried Irish father's request to the British High Court for the return of his sons may have longstanding legal implications in his native land.
...
The man alleges his former wife took their 2-year-old twin sons to Britain without his consent and in violation of Hague Convention terms.
...
Mr. G argued he was not given the opportunity to seek guardianship rights under Irish law before his ex-wife took the children out of the country.'

Story here. Excerpt:

"South Wales Police yesterday apologised to a male rape victim after the Independent Police Complaints Commission ruled officers did not at first appreciate the seriousness of the man’s allegation.
...
By failing to properly preserve the potential crime scene South Wales Police did not serve Mr Cole or the people of South Wales well in this instance.”

The report found an officer who should have attended the scene did not do so, another “was not conscientious and diligent” and another did not appreciate the seriousness of the allegation at first."

The female activists are at it again--with their war on men--and this time they have even invaded public bathrooms. That's right PUBLIC bathrooms for MEN are being haunted by a new device known as Spuk which says in a rather rude voice(once the toilet seat is lifted) "Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don’t want any trouble, you’d best sit down" or "Excuse me, but there’s a penalty for peeing while standing in this house,” it warns culprits. “You’d better not risk any problems and sit down!”

If the customer is adamant about retaining his right to use the bathroom the way men usually do he gets this(in a female flight attendants voice): "We welcome you aboard Never Come Back Airlines,” the voice says. “We’d like to ask our male passengers in particular to sit down, buckle up and refrain from smoking.”

The small gadget is made to look like a ghost. You can read more on Spuk (and see the actual gadget which fits under the toilet seat lid) here.

After blinding her boyfriend by stabbing him in the left eye six years ago, the same woman stabbed him in both eyes earlier this year. The latest pair of attacks damaged his vision in the one eye she spared during the first attack and drew blood from the eye she destroyed six years ago. Story here.

Notice the "cute" headline? Or the fact that the woman only received a 6-month sentence for blinding the man in one eye and reducing his vision 20% in the other in a total of three attacks? Or that the courts chose to ignore a clear pattern of domestic violence resulting in grave injuries over a period of years when passing sentence on the woman?

Yeah, I'm sure that 6-month sentence will send a message - the same message it sends when the media chooses to make the murder, mutilation and maiming of men by their wives and girlfriends a joke. How anyone could expect men to take violence against women any more seriously than women are expected to take violence against men is beyond me.

Essay here. Excerpt:

"I got a letter from the women's liberation office, throwing me out and banning me from attending any of the collectives. The so-called women's liberation' movement spread like a cancer across the English chattering classes. I visited the houses of feminist women with my son who carried his action man toys. In their houses there was no vestige of anything 'boyish' at all. No Tonka trucks, no boys toys — nothing that could encourage a boy to think of himself as masculine. The whole idea of men and masculinity in those houses, we considered disgusting. We, the mothers, sat around the kitchen tables rearranging the world according to Marx."

Essay here. Excerpt:

"In the big picture, I don't see that this is any special problem. I know there is a lot of worrying going on, though. There's even a view that colleges practice covert affirmative action for boys just to get them up to the unimpressive current levels. If women are better at school or if they develop faster, why is that a problem society needs to fiddle with? Except for historical bias against women educationally, they probably would have been in the majority ever since Socrates gave tutorials."

Story here. Excerpt:

"'The teaching profession in primaries is dominated by women who, with the best will in the world, will tend to deliver a larger proportion of the curriculum in teaching styles that make most sense to them - and therefore favour the girls.'
...
Some experts suggest that teachers are deliberately getting pupils labelled as having special needs with reading, for example, because it is an easy way of getting a difficult child out of the classroom for a while."
