Seems the measuring of financial matters when it comes to feminists truly knows no limits. The latest hilarity is to be found here. Wonder if stay-at-home dads get the same method of calculation?
Excerpt:
"NEW YORK (Reuters) - If the typical stay-at-home mother in the United States were paid for her work as a housekeeper, cook and psychologist among other roles, she would earn $138,095 a year, according to research released on Wednesday.
This reflected a 3 percent raise from last year's $134,121, according to Salary.com Inc, Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts.
The 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother's work were housekeeper, cook, day care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief executive officer and psychologist, it said."

Depaul University's first female athletic director and gender equity advocate, Jean Lenti-Ponsetto, claims female superiority over men in basketball.
Asked for her comments on the differences between coaching men and women in basketball for the "WomenNews" section of the Chicago Tribune she says:

"My experience is that women are more coachable. They don't bring as much ego, and they function much better in a team-oriented concept. Guys sometimes have a tendency to fit their individual skills into the team model. Women always think team first... women are also faster and easier learners because they kind of check their ego at the door. Guys sometimes walk into a team setting and have the tendency to prove right away how good they are and how good their individual skills are."

Story here. Excerpt:
"In July of 2004 she is said to have begun a year long affair with a 15 year old student who was in year 10.
They would meet for sex sessions in her home in St Albans and in her car. When the boy turned 16, it's claimed they had full sex and would check in to local hotels.
The court has been told that when another girl at the school discovered a photo of the boy and the teacher taken on his mobile phone, she took a copy into the school and showed a teacher."

What about "Female teacher rapes boy in vehicle at church"? Excerpt:
"Janet Lea Hughes, 32, of Viera, was arrested Monday night after two undercover Titusville police officers found her with a student in a van parked at First Presbyterian Church.
Hughes was issued a $35,000 bond on one count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor when she made her initial appearance Tuesday afternoon. On a second count of attempted sexual activity with a minor, Judge Judy Atkin ordered Hughes to community supervision and to have no contact with the boy."

Article here.
These are aspects of the wage gap we already know. I hope these opinions are taken seriously, examined, and treated with equity before we demonize men. Hillary, take notice, NOW's philosphy on the matter is flawed. The American Asscociation of Unveristy Women might even be more of a perpetuator of this biased myth. When will the governement and society accept views regarding the wage gap that is not infected with feminism?
"As they get older, many women elect to work less so they can spend time with their children. A decade after graduation, 39 percent of women are out of the work force or working part time -- compared with only 3 percent of men. When these mothers return to full-time jobs, they naturally earn less than they would have if they had never left."

I called the Washington Court Hotel just today to ask about when would be the latest one could book a room under the special rate for the Boys and the Boy Crisis Conference scheduled for July 13-14, 2007. The scheduler said that bookings for rooms had to come no later than June 13 to get the special $115.00/night rate.
For those not familiar with DC area prices, TRUST ME, $115.00/night at the Court is a nice deal. Try looking up their regular prices and see what you find. This is also a very good time to find cheap airfare deals at sites like Travelocity, too. Don't wait 'til you're only a month out before booking your plane.
This is going to be a great conference. Tom has done a great job lining up speakers and workshop leaders. Don't miss this, guys!

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.'

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...
