"There is nothing new about politicians kissing babies, but politicizing children is a newer development. Iowa lawmakers have proposed a healthier alternative: The Iowa Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved Senate File 507, which would place into law the presumption of shared parenting in the event of divorce or separation.

This would result in more children having the love and care of both parents in their lives, regardless of their marital status."

She wows the audience with her 'courage'. Seems the inconvenient truth that she recently took Paul McCartney for millions is left entirely out of the article. Story here. Excerpt:

'The ABC dancing contest, returning for its fourth season, was a big hit in the past. But adding a new level of interest and curiosity this go-around is the presence of the 39-year-old activist and estranged wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney as one of the 11 celebrity contestants.
...
"You've got more guts than Rambo," said Bruno Tonioli, who went on to criticize not her legs but her top half -- her arms -- during the performance.
...
It may also be a chance to repair an image that has suffered during her bitter breakup with McCartney, from whom she separated last May after four years of marriage. The couple, who have a 3-year-old daughter, began divorce proceedings in July.'

Article here. I wonder if anyone has considered that a woman could use this on someone who believes the sex is consensual with equal ease? Excerpt:

'The controversy has raged over whether the device, which has fish-like teeth that attach to the head and shaft of the penis, is a medieval device built on a hatred of men or whether it is an easy-to-use invention that could free millions of South African women from fear of rape.'

We take pause this week to thank the thousands of true advocates for their hard work helping to block CEDAW and possible introduction of I-VAWA. We take note of organizations who devoted resources delivering this message, including the True Equality Network, the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, Stop Abuse For Everyone, the Indiana Civil Rights Council, Shattered Men, and the San Diego Men's Center.

Over the past two years, this "Wise Majority" has spoken, delivering millions of telephone calls and emails to politicians calling for reform of domestic violence laws that hurt innocent individuals and families while rarely helping those who really need it. RADAR is committed to helping the Wise Majority amplify their voices to bring about positive change. We thank you for your help and donations which, in turn, help us all succeed as a team.

Thanks to you, we have achieved much in just two short years of existence:

Seems the way out of fulfilling a duty she volunteered for is for a woman is to claim sexual harassment on top of PTSD. Then, going AWOL is fine. In fact, you get a 16-page nationally-syndicated news story about yourself written in a very sympathetic way.

Just try this if you're a man.

"In the evolving world of AIDS prevention, the giddiness over studies showing that circumcision reduces a man's risk of contracting AIDS from an infected female partner has died down a bit in the wake of subsequent research."

From their Mar. 18, 2007 newsletter:

Our report, Modifications to Federal Statutes Required to Disincentive Paternity Fraud (.pdf file) is now released to the public.

This report provides the changes to the sections of the United States Code required to stop paying the states to support paternity fraud.

There are two key changes made in this template;

1. Paternity Establishment can only be made via genetic testing.
2. Both paternity establishments and exclusions can be made up to the child's eighteenth birthday.

Under the current laws, paternity can be established in several ways, none of which actually prove paternity biologically.

PRESS RELEASE
14th March 2007

International campaign group Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) today announced plans for its first major US initiative to take place in 2008.

The project called ‘Bridge Across America’ will see a hand-picked group of fathers and children take part in a sponsored ‘crossing’ to raise money for young offenders from fatherless families. The unusual road-trip will cross the country from the East coast to the West Cost using a unique form of travel and wearing a ‘Pythonesque’ theme.

F4J say the crossing will be preceded this year by a series of high profile stunts in the United States as part of its awareness drive.

The group say that Founder Matt O’Connor will unveil details of the trip when he attends a fathers conference in Washington this July with UK activist Jolly Stanesby.

A female teacher convicted of molesting a 13-year-old male student actually gets a reasonable sentence for a change! Article here.

With the current extra media attention to female teacher statutory rape cases, it sounds like some judges may finally be getting the message and making sentencing decisions that are more equivalent to what a man would expect in the same situation.

Interesting to see how the defense is spinning it.... Holt’s attorney, John S. Malik, said the sentence was much longer than what teachers convicted in similar cases got<. He reviewed 40 such cases and found the average was 18 months to two years. ('similar cases'-- AKA, the typical case when a female teacher is convicted of rape/molestation?)

Story here.

Apparently society treats boys with the same bias as men. Four year old boys accused of sexual harassment and now a seven year old is 'cuffed and arrested. Excerpt:

'Police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him and hauled him down to the station house on a charge of riding a motorized dirt bike on a sidewalk."
...
Kikisa Dinkins said her son was sitting on the bike with the motor off on the sidewalk when an officer grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off.

"I told them to let go of my baby," Dinkins said. "Since when do you pull a 7-year-old child by his neck and drag him?'

Of course the poor dear teacher will undoubtedly receive nothing but sympathy even though she preyed on the student and provoked her husband into a rage that resulted in his misfortunate reaction!

Score: 2 males down, 1 female walks!

Article here. Excerpt:

'KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- In a tragic twist to a familiar story, a teenager who had sex with his married 30-year-old teacher was fatally shot outside the woman's home, and authorities have charged the woman's husband.

"You see all this stuff with teachers involved with their students. It just comes up time after time on the national news," said Norman McLean, father of suspect Eric McLean. But this time, he said, someone "actually died over it."'

"Judge ignores plea bargain and sentences teacher to jail for sex with student."

I get the impression from this video that society is starting to get fed-up with female teachers preying on male students and receiving little or no consequences for their behaviors!

McCain was answering a question from a man who wanted to know if he would talk about fathers' having equal access to their children after divorce, CNN reported. The quote:

"For me to stand here before all these people and say that I'm going to declare divorces invalid because someone feels that they weren't treated fairly in court, we are getting into a, uh, uh, tar baby of enormous proportions" - McCain

The phrase 'tar Baby' is considered derogatory to Blacks.

Essay here. Excerpt:

'Less common, however, is discourse on what words/phrases can be anti-male (such as man-slaughter or men-at-work which both imply that it is only men who experience undesirable afflictions like death and work). This semantic bias is also manifested in how the rules of gender discourse leave men at the door. It is indeed interesting to note that the term "masculism" is seldom acknowledged as a real term in mainstream media (one exception is Wikipedia)...The problem is that the very term “feminism” is sexist (at least on its own). Feminism is a female word, with a feminine prefix (fem-inism). This can implicitly create the taciturn illusion that feminism = equality. This is similar to how gender-feminists insist to define sexism in strictly female terms (despite men obviously being one of the two sexes)!'

Suddenly she is being quite circumspect. Story here. Excerpt:

'March 16, 2007 — The woman who accused three members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team of sexual assault is not being forthcoming with special prosecutors, law enforcement sources close to the case tell ABC News.

The accuser has met at least twice with prosecutors from the North Carolina attorney general's office, which took over the case from Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong in January.

In those interviews, she gave incomplete answers when asked about the alleged assault and the events surrounding it, according to sources.'
