It seems Carl Bernstein's recent biography of Hillary Clinton exposes some of what many of us already knew. Read the pre-publication review here. Excerpt:

'With the thoroughness for which he is famous, Bernstein spoke to more than 200 of Clinton’s friends, colleagues and adversaries. He stops short of accusing the New York senator of blatantly lying about her past, but has unearthed examples of where she has played fast and loose with the facts about her “personal and political life”, according to Knopf.

Everybody is entitled to live the lifestyle for which they earn through their economic contrbution. It does seem like the winds of change towards recognising and stopping these economic parasites are blowing. The door towards "living according to ones capability without getting fleeced by economic parasites" has been opened. This needs to be firmed up and slowly the feminists' economic parasitism will be stopped. Excerpt:

'LONDON, April 14 - A British judge has ruled ex-husbands can not be expected to compensate their ex-wives for future earnings.

The judge ruled in England, which is known for favoring women in divorce proceedings, that a baker identified as Mr. H does not have to give Mrs. H a share of his future earnings after their divorce, The Times of London reported Saturday.'

Yes, that is happening in this here America.

The article addresses general DV issues and the VAWA, then gets more specific (read: graphic..this is not for the faint of heart):

"Torture victims have described events during their imprisonment where they were stripped naked and doused with cold water, and then "stun-gun/tasers" were applied to their testicles by law enforcement agents. This was repeated until they confessed/agreed to the fraudulent complaint filed against them."

"Over 800 cases of the prior listed types of torture have been reported to the victim's representatives in the United States Congress"

Now that the Duke Lacrosse players have been declared innocent by the new district attorney, we're being told that this is an unusual case caused by one out-of-control prosecutor. It's not. The only thing unusual about this case is that the innocent victims of false accusation had the resources to defend themselves against the overwhelming power of the state. Just as rape is unquestionably a serious problem, so too are false accusations of rape. Too many prosecutors fail to recognize that it's not an either/or choice. Both are true.

Since most of those falsely accused of rape lack the resources to defend themselves, the system convicts many innocent men. Even when the accuser later owns up, the system resists correcting the injustice. Consider Illinois' notorious prosecution of Gary Dotson. Dotson's accuser spent half a decade guilt-ridden over having put an innocent man in prison. When she finally confessed, prosecutors didn't want to hear it. They had reason to stonewall. State police forensic scientist Timothy Dixon had given perjured testimony.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune just printed this story on Harvard professor Alberto Alesina's sexist "man tax."

The story mentions no ethical objections at all. Please get our objections heard in the media early on before this snowballs. Letters can be sent using this form.

Nice to see this. Excerpt:

'Never mind that the 77% figure is flawed and bogus. The latest figures show that comparing men and women who work 40 hours weekly yields a wage ratio of 88% — before accounting for different education, jobs, or experience, bringing the wage ratio closer to 95%. Percentages of 88% and 95% are less dramatic — and would place Equal Pay Day in January or February, poor months for outdoor rallies.'

Note the author's bio:
"Ms. Furchtgott-Roth, a former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute."

Story here. Excerpt:

'It is official! August 11th 2007 Robert Pedersen and Rob Mackenzie will start their over 600 mile bicycle trek from the Lansing Capitol to Washington, D.C.. This will be an intense multi-day bike trek through numerous states ending in Washington, D.C. where they will be greeted by thousands of people attending the national rally in Washington, D.C. on August the 18th.'

I received a snail mail reply from AA re their women-only subsite at http://www.aa.com/women/. Among other things the letter reads:

"We have the responsibility to our stockholders to maximize their investment, and that means aggressively pursuing the business of those who travel frequently...[Women constitute a large portion of our market]...Good business dictates we pursue these travelers."

Basically, the same argument people who had "whites-only" sections in restaurants, etc., used to make.

AA's customer relations web address is http://www.aa.com/customerrelations/. Get cranking!

On her latest speaking tour including an appearance before Congress, Jessica Lynch says she’s still confused about all the lies that the military's P.R. flacks ginned up about her supposed heroism."...

Lynch put up no resistance because she was immobilized in what amounted to a massive car accident. “I didn’t even get a shot off,” she told Newsweek.com this week, explaining that her Humvee was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, causing the driver to lose control and slam into the back of another truck in their convoy. “My weapon had jammed. And I didn’t even get to fire.” She blamed the military for not setting the record straight and the media for spreading the bogus story. At the hearing last week, she said she was “still confused as to why [the military] chose to lie and try to make me a legend.”

Well, where is the mea culpa op-ed by N.O.W.’s Kim Gandy, now that the obvious consequences of females in combat have been outted? The rad-fems cannot politically afford to admit that women are a liability in combat theatre. It would upset the myth of female supremacy...

You may need to pick your jaws up off the floor after reading this, but there it is, in black and white. Excerpt:

'Hillary, by contrast, seems to want to be more like a man in her demeanor and politics, makes few concessions to the social demands of femininity, and yet seems to be only a partial feminist. She seems above us, exempting herself from compromises women have to make every day, while, at the same time, leaving some of the basic tenets of feminism in the dust. We are sold out on both counts. In other words, she seems like patriarchy in sheep’s clothing.'

I managed to catch this episode of Eastenders on Friday:

"Denise reveals that she was going to leave, but that Shirley's convinced her to go through with the wedding. She takes Kevin aside, knees him in the crotch, then they tie the knot."

Note the light-hearted way the incident is summed up.

I wonder when the BBC is going to feature some humorous male-on-female violence?
--
Ed. note: For the info. of non-UK readers, "EastEnders" is a very popular series in Britain, watched regularly by millions of people. Such a blatant example of woman-on-man violence in such a widely-viewed TV program is not insignificant and worthy of attention and action. "Have Your Say" link is here.

All,

I have noticed the Beta News Site for MANN is getting very little attention. Please take the time to register on it and try it out. It really is a good alternative to the current submit-edit-post/not post paradigm that we currently are using.

Think of the highly populist, democratic form such a paradigm represents. Put me out of a job, please! ;)

From Glenn Sacks: My new co-authored column, Baldwin Not the Only Culprit in Custody Battle with Basinger (San Diego Union-Tribune, 4/27/07), makes the point that while Baldwin’s voicemail tirade at his daughter was clearly wrong, we’re ignoring the Baldwin-Basinger case’s central truth—Kim Basinger’s well-documented Parental Alienation campaign against Baldwin.

Check out this story.

Excerpt: "Three women teachers were among six people arrested yesterday accused of sedating and sexually abusing children as young as 3 at a school near Rome.

The teachers — two of whom are grandmothers who had taught at the school and at Sunday school for decades — are said to have [taken] part in the repeated abuse of 15 children aged 3 and 5 for a year, filming them in sexual acts with satanic overtones at the teachers’ homes and in a wood."

Female paedophiles? Or has the Satanic Panic reached Italy? Let's not forget the McMartin pre-school in the US and the Shieldfield scandal in the UK.

Posted on behalf of Marc A.:

Last year, two Kuwaiti women got 7 years in jail for kidnapping, beating and raping a man.

Feminists like Jackson Katz claim women commit only 1% of rape. But that is NOT true especially when we count statutory and prison rape. A student survey found 43% of teacher sex abuse came from female teachers (though 92% of prosecutions are of male teachers), according to this article, which also quotes a John Hopkins expert saying boys face the same long-term effects as girls who are victims of sexual abuse.

Then there is the under-reporting. According to Wikipedia, "since the incidence of female-on-male rape is on record at much higher rates (around 30% compared to 10%) in Canada, it is likely being substantially under-reported in the United States."
