We were mistaken. Recently RADAR attributed the following statement to Linda Fairstein, who formerly headed the New York County District Attorney’s Sex Crimes Unit.

"There are about 4,000 reports of rape each year in Manhattan. Of these, about half simply did not happen. ... It’s my job to bring justice to the man who has been falsely accused by a woman who has a grudge against him, just as it’s my job to prosecute the real thing."

Numerous places on the web report that Ms. Fairstein made this statement in her 1993 book "Sexual Violence: Our War Against Rape". Because the number cited in the quote was in synch with other credible research and because a citation was included, we trusted that the quote was authentic.

A few days ago, a March 21, 2007 article on ABC came to our attention. That article quotes Ms. Fairstein as saying: "you have to acknowledge that false accusations do happen - though they are less than 10 percent of reported rapes."

I apologize for taking so long to announce this news, but as of a couple of weeks ago, NH Governor John Lynch signed into law HB 704, which includes a clause to renew the NH Commission on the Status of Men. The Commission's existence no longer has a renewal date and can now exist perpetually. However, the fiscal note attached to the bill (for $60k/year) was rejected and so the Commission will continue to exist, as it has for the past four years, without any state funding.

Although the lack of funding still poses challenges to the Commission, it's great to see that it is no longer at risk of ceasing to exist completely.

"McGee said the girl skipped school Wednesday to spend time with a male friend. He said the girl realized she would be in trouble for skipping school, so she made up the story involving rape, abduction and physical abuse to cover her tracks."

Story here. It leads with a the case of a female soldier losing custody when she was away, despite the fact that the vast majority of such cases will see male soldiers losing custody, which is hard enough for them to get anyway. Well at least this is getting MSM coverage. Excerpt:

"Iowa Guardsman Mike Grantham thought he was serving the best interests of his children when he arranged for his son and daughter to stay with his mother before reporting for duty in 2002. He had raised Brianna and Jeremy since his 2000 divorce, when ex-wife Tammara turned physical custody over to him.

After mobilizing, Grantham was served with a custody petition from Tammara. A trial judge temporarily placed the children with her. A year later, though Grantham had returned, the judge made Tammara the primary physical custodian.

An appeals court sided with Grantham, saying: “A soldier, who answered our Nation’s call to defend, lost physical care of his children ... offending our intrinsic sense of right and wrong.”

Story here. From the article:

'Six men, ranging in age from 19 to 55, have been charged with several sexual assault-related charges. The 42-year-old mother was arrested earlier this week and charged with the rarely prosecuted offence of "corrupting children."'

'The Criminal Code offence of corrupting children makes it illegal to engage in adultery, sexual immorality, habitual drunkenness or "any other sort of vice," in the home of a child.'

And the fact that she sold her disabled daughter into prostitution to feed a drug habit? Where are the charges for those despicable crimes? Would a man escape those charges under the same circumstances?

As usual, the mother is facing very little jail time even if she's convicted. While she could have faced 14 years if convicted of living on the proceeds of prostitution or being involved in child prostitution she wasn't charged with those offenses despite selling her disabled daughter into sex to obtain drugs.

Article here. Excerpt:

"The Obama-endorsed bill mandates equal pay for "equivalent jobs," while Clinton's bill would establish voluntary "guidelines to enable employers to evaluate job categories" -- all in the cause of increasing wages in female-dominated jobs beyond that determined by the market.
...
Never mind that the 77-percent figure is, in the words of Hudson Institute economist Diana Furchtgott-Roth, "flawed and bogus," failing to account for the most basic variables. The figure for men and women who work 40 hours a week is 88 percent. Baruch College economist June O'Neill finds -- adjusting for factors like schooling, lifetime work experience, and workplace characteristics -- that the gap almost disappears, with women making 95 percent of men's wages."

Members of Father's and men's rights groups (CRISPE, F4J, and NCFMLA) protested today outside the downtown, Los Angeles County Municipal Courthouse, that was hearing matters in the Baldwin-Basinger visitation dispute.

Article here. Excerpt:

"The truth is that Parental Alienation really is a dangerous and cleverly marketed legal strategy that has caused much harm to victims of abuse, especially women and children during and post divorce. This strategy, promoted actively by several "father's rights" groups, has convinced many people, including some in the judicial system and the media, that the actions of a protective parent (usually the mother) are more harmful than the actual mistreatment inflicted by an abusive parent. The end result is public support (and an excuse) for the teary-eyed abusive parent, plus a willingness to believe that so-called parental alienation, and not the parent's own behavior, led to the child's anger toward that parent."

Saw an ad for the Cadillac CTS recently. Like many companies these days, they post their ads on-line. To see this gem, go here and select "CTS" in the "SORT BY" drop-down box. Then click the third one in the first row (entitled "KHAKIS"), with the picture of the man and woman looking out from the elevator.

Observations:
- The woman passes by colleagues who didn't get the promotion-- all of them are men.
- The men act like frightened puppies.
- The last part of the ad sees the man she is in the elevator with suddenly lose all the ink in his fountain pen, staining his shirt-- an obvious allusion to the idea of him peeing his pants out of fear of the all-mighty woman.

All this in an apparent effort to appeal to female consumers. Seems like many other companies, Cadillac (owned by GM) thinks it needs to trounce men in order to win over women. Contact info is here.

Interesting statistics here. Excerpt:

"More than one in four have cheated on a regular partner with an office lover — but only seven per cent suspect their fella of the same at their workplace.

Twenty per cent would have NO hesitation in sleeping with the boss to get promotion — and 17 per cent had already done so. More than a third regularly go to work with no underwear — while 16 per cent visit the loo to relieve sexual frustration."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Most school heads and teachers have faced false allegations from pupils or parents, a head teachers' union says. The problem is under-played and incidents are less unusual than some claim, according to the National Association of Head Teachers. The union complains the names of the accused get into the media, while the alleged victim is often anonymous."

Recent research in Australia has shown that - astoundingly - women are paying tax at THREE TIMES the rate that men are. My god, does the horrendous attrocities women have to face never cease...?!

QUOTE:"MOTHERS do 70 per cent of the housework and more than 90 per cent of the childcare. Now it seems they're also paying tax at three times the rate of their husbands.

A tax symposium was told Australia has one of the most sexist systems in the world and it could be part of the reason we're facing a skills crisis.

Why is it that the male primary earner in a family on average pays just 10.3 per cent of his income in tax but his wife loses on average 32.7 per cent if she goes out to work?"

Of course it's complete crap, just feminazi juggling of figures to grab headlines and help attack men even more. Feel free to add your comments at the end and let them know just what utter bollocks this is....

This is an update from a prevous post about this child support scam. Excerpt:

"An Albuquerque woman who for two years collected child support from a man for a baby that didn’t exist is now facing a felony kidnapping charge.

In a court hearing in 2004, a judge demanded that Trevino produce the child in court. Instead, she showed up in the courtroom and tried to pass a child that wasn’t hers.
...
If convicted of the state charges against her, Trevino could face up to 45 years in jail."

'Ms Royal attacked him over his plans for heavy cuts in the civil service and cited the case of a policewoman who was raped last month as she returned from work at night.

“Under my presidency every woman police officer will be accompanied to her home after work,” Ms Royal said. She scored points when Mr Sarkozy denounced the 35-hour maximum working week, introduced in 1999 by the last Socialist Government.'

Frank Deford, in his latest column, denounces the impact of Title IX on men's sports teams. At the same time, however, he also blames the lack of men on college on men's poor study habits and only being interested in sports. He makes no mention of the systematic problems in educating in men, and ultimately considered the current system fair. Excerpt:

"The current situation is fair. It is not the fault of girls that boys won't work hard in the classroom. However, it is really not healthy that, soon enough, most colleges will only have men's teams in football and basketball, maybe baseball."
