"An Urbandale woman facing murder charges following the death of a toddler in her care has been ordered to stay away from her teenage son if she is released from jail on bond, according to a restraining order issued Friday.

Lucinda Winger, 40, was arrested Thursday evening on charges of first-degree murder and child endangerment in connection with the death of Joey Atkinson, who was found unresponsive in Winger's in-home child care facility in Urbandale on Feb. 28.

The 20-month-old child was rushed to the hospital with a serious skull fracture; he was declared brain dead the next day."

'There have been several responses to this from the fathers' movement:

1) I debated Cynthia Brown on FOX News' nationally-syndicated Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Tuesday--to watch, click here. Also see below for more information.

2) In the Associated Press article, Mike McCormick, Executive Director of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, pointed out that this campaign to humiliate child support debtors can also be very humiliating for their children.

3) On Friday, Fathers 4 Justice US protested against one of the pizzerias which is putting the "deadbeat" posters on their boxes--see below for more information.

4) Yesterday, Stephen Baskerville, president of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, debated Brown on CNN. I don't know of video being available yet, but when/if it is I will post it on my blog.'

The BBC reports here with an opinion piece that seems incredibly sexist. Basically it's a hunt to find where women are being hard-done by in being excluded from male-only clubs. The entire tone of the piece is sexist, for example:

"In the ancient world all-male societies and festivals were common. And there was even the odd all-female event too." No mention of matriarchal societies, of course.

It's not until halfway through the article that they admit (almost sheepishly) that there are many female-only clubs, but in typical BBC style the headlines and intro are all one-sided (us evil evil men!)

You can comment on the piece, and the comments are worth reading - most support the idea that one-gender clubs are acceptable, even if the women are typically scathing of our reasons to want to be separated. The stereotypes abound; women want to be in their single-sex-club locales to avoid lecherous men hassling them, whereas us men want to be in our single-sex-clubs so we can belch, fart and generally be rude and obnoxious...

Watch the story here. She was a gang member suspected in as many as 50 shootings, a leader in one of the most violent and predatory gangs in her city. And a lady, too! Good heavens! Send this to anyone who thinks a woman isn't capable of ruthless, calculated violence, or exercising leadership in the context thereof.

Article here. Excerpt:

"Women make similar trade-offs all the time. Surveys have shown for years that women tend to place a higher priority on flexibility and personal fulfillment than do men, who focus more on pay. Women tend to avoid jobs that require travel or relocation, and they take more time off and spend fewer hours in the office than men do. Men disproportionately take on the dirtiest, most dangerous and depressing jobs."

'Mar 29, 2007 - The "countdown to release" is on for the man who's spent more than two decades in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

There is hope that Anthony Capozzi could be a free man as soon as Friday. Local lawmakers have stepped up the pressure to speed up the process to set Capozzi free now that there's DNA proof he was wrongfully convicted of two rapes in Delaware Park back in the 1980s.'

Article here. NOW's attack on father's rights continues. My legal knowledge is admittedly weak. My question: Can NOW actually win this lawsuit? Excerpt:

"The complaints cite 34 programs, including one run by the District and two others in the Washington area, that, they say, do not offer the services to women. That, the groups say, violates Title IX, the law that prevents sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and is best known for forcing universities to offer comparable sports programs for men and women."

A three minute discussion on "Fox and Friends" on why girls are doing better in school. My problem with the video is not so much about the information provided, but rather it didn't appear the disparity was taken seriously. In fact, there was a lot of joking involved. There was no discussion on how to solve the problem.

To view the video, scroll down to "Education On Fox News Channel". The title is "Education expert on why women are beating men in college performance."

Ed. note: Check out those other vids, too, esp. Sen. Kay Hutchison on those "separate but equal" single-sex classrooms.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Heather Nicole Miller, 22, the girlfriend of the boy's father, told investigators she killed Isaiah Vargas Wednesday in her apartment. According to police, Miller said she grabbed his arm and pushed him into his bedroom after he refused to go.

"The defendant said she thought the victim fell down and struck his head on the floor," Detective Dominick Kaufman wrote in court paperwork. "The defendant then grabbed the victim and shook him."

A woman in Detroit was caught in a sting where she offered her daughter to an undercover agent for the purposes of child pornography and sex/molestation.

"This is truly a horrifying case," Sheriff Warren Evans said in a statement. "To think that a woman would offer up her own daughter in this way impossible to comprehend."

And yet, this is exactly what we are forced to comprehend. A mother (probably single - there is no mention of a father being present) is revealed as the biggest threat to her own children.

It seems that our friend in The Patriarchy, Thomas Fullery, has now declared most of the southwestern United States as part of a new Patriarchal nation, to be known as the Patriarchal Republic of New Deseret.

The announcement follows:

Announcing the Patriarchal Republic of New Deseret!

As of today, April 1, 2007, I declare the formation of the Patriarchal Republic of New Deseret. The boundaries as such shall be those of the original Mormon State of Deseret from 1849 to 1850.

For more information on that earlier state, kindly go to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Deseret

This republic's boundaries will, of course, need to be modified so as not to overlap with the great Republic of Cascadia, one of our future trading partners.

This isn't news, exactly -- it's just interesting. This is the kind of conversation that is happening behind the scenes as folks such as Wikipedia try to tap-dance their balls off in an attempt to discuss something which everyone knows exists but which no one is allowed to talk about.

Here the Wikipedia dweebs take on our beloved debate. I'd prepare popcorn if I were you.

Wikipedia Talk On Antifeminism

Essay here. Excerpt:

"...all of the gender inclusive language added in the 2000 reauthorization of VAWA and what was proposed by the Senate in 2005 was struck out, deleted... Throughout H.R.3402, every line of text that provided protection, support, and services to male victims of domestic violence from all the other bills of the 109th Congress and prior Congress' additions were completely removed or modified, excluding men."

Contrast what happened here to what NOW is trying to do to the Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Initiative. The blatant anti-male 2x-standards should come as no surprise, but they do continue to shock the conscience of the fair-minded.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Darrell Roberson came home from a card game late one night to find his wife rolling around with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway.

Caught in the act with her lover, Tracy Denise Roberson — thinking quickly, if not clearly — cried rape, authorities say. Her husband pulled a gun and killed the other man with a shot to the head.

On Thursday, a grand jury handed up a manslaughter indictment — against the wife, not the husband."

In an attempt to conflate domestic violence statistics in NH, an important primary state for Hillary, local DV advocates/beneficiaries claim (based upon a single study) that more than half of New Hampshire's women have been abused in their lifetimes and almost one-fifth say they've been raped (?). Excerpt:

"The New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, the University of New Hampshire and the state worked together on the survey. It's the first time experts have tracked the prevalence of violence against women in the state. The hard data backs up what police, health and domestic violence workers have long known: victims are everywhere.
...
They said future abuse surveys could be expanded to include men."
