Nowak not to be charged with attempted murder

Story here. Excerpt:

'ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- Florida prosecutors charged an astronaut Friday with trying to kidnap a woman she saw as a rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections, but they declined to file an attempted murder charge that had been recommended by police.

Lisa Nowak, 43, was formally charged almost a month after she was arrested at an Orlando airport parking lot.

Police have said the Houston mother of three had raced 900 miles in her car from Texas to Orlando on February 5 to confront the woman. She reportedly donned a wig and trench coat, then sprayed a chemical into the woman's car when she wouldn't let Nowak in, police said.

In addition to attempted kidnapping with intent to inflict bodily harm, state prosecutors charged Nowak on Friday with burglary with an assault using a weapon and battery.'

MSN slideshow "Women who make us cringe"

This is an interesting insight into what MSN's writers classify as a woman who should make us cringe. I think we can agree with a lot of them, I'm just not sure how they narrowed it down to 10 from such a large field.

Experimenting on (black, male) prisoners is back on the table

What isn't mentioned in this story (video) is that "the prisoners" in question will undoubtedly be all men, all of them or mostly all of them black ones, at that.

The racket is simple enough: incarcerate a man for x number of years and then after some time offer him an option to reduce his sentence in exchange for participating in a "harmless" experiment to test a drug or new product of some kind. Give him limited information, have him sign the forms in some small room with a tiny window looking out on some trees, then he's yours.

Great little system they had going back in the day and it looks like they want a redux. Suppose they'd try this evil scheme on women of any ethnicity? Doubt it.

Teacher "had sex with" five students

No mention of stat rape in this article. Excerpt:

'CLINTON, South Carolina (AP) -- A middle school teacher accused of having sex with at least five boys -- some of them students at her school -- was arrested, authorities said.

Police began investigating Allenna Williams Ward, 23, after school officials recovered a note containing inappropriate messages, said Clinton Public Safety Director John Thomas.

Ward, who is married, had sexual encounters with the 14- and 15-year-old boys at various locations, including in the school, at a motel, in a park and behind a restaurant, from December to this month, according to arrest warrants.'

Women's Health Office Funds Cut

Story here. Excerpt:

'The office funds research on male-female biological differences to ensure that women receive the most appropriate drug doses and treatments.
...
"We fear this is the first step toward eliminating the Office of Women's Health," Nolan said. "We must not allow this office to be eliminated or reduced to an empty shell that has no program funding."

Office of Women's Health? I would accept her complaint if an "Office Of Men's Health" was ever implemented.

RADAR ALERT: Crying "Wolf" Too Many Times

Years ago, radical advocates told America that Super Bowl Sunday resulted in very high rates of domestic violence. Last year, the world was convinced that 40,000 female sex slaves would be smuggled to Germany for the World Cup Finals. Radical women's studies departments and students annually celebrate "V-day", a dark substitute for Valentine's Day, to stop rape and sexual abuse of campus women purported to be endemic. Hysteria arose over claims that "date rape" is commonplace. And the Violence Against Women Act is built on the notion that if women are ever violent, it is solely in self-defense.

History proves all the above claims are substantively false. It is time for legislators and the media to expect more than theory or unsupported statistics before playing the fool for radical women's advocates.

Here is the truth on the above issues:

Domestic violence rates for Super Bowl Sunday are only marginally higher than normal (http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/977.html).

More on Mothers-in-Prison

Watch it here on cnn.com, again from Anderson Cooper. So much sympathy... these women are in jail and they live in a giant nursery with their kids. They have kids, or commit crimes while pregnant, and they are "punished" by being given a great environment to raise their kids nearly 24/7. Meanwhile, how are the fathers of these children treated if in prison for the same thing?

Lis Wiehl propagates false statistics

Article here.

Fox News contributer Lisa Wiehl has recently written a new book, which has been featured several times during Fox's primetime programs. "The 51% Majority" seems like a typical feminist publication. Wiehl's book is getting tremendous exposure with her appearance on the O'Reilly Factor. Promoting misandry and false statistics on a highly rated primetime cable news program is not good news for M.R.A.'s. Excerpt:

"But it is also the worst of times: women are still making just 73 cents for every dollar men make; we have only one woman sitting among eight others on the country's highest court; and domestic violence statistics have been reaching all-time highs. All this, despite the fact that women account for 51 percent — a clear majority — of the general populace."

Woman Trades Baby for Car

This story should make your skin crawl. The myth that only a man may see his children as dispensable is obviously well-refuted by this disgusting display. The truth is that both men and women can be defective caregivers or just plain sociopathic when it comes even to their own children. What will feminists say about this story, that she was forced into doing it by some man or by the oppressive circumstances of patriarchy? Excerpt:

'PUEBLO, Colorado (AP) -- Three people were arrested on charges of swapping a 5-month-old boy for a down payment on a used Dodge Intrepid and cash, police said Tuesday.

Nicole Uribe, 23, is accused of trading the baby to Jose-Juan Lerma, 47, and his wife, Irene, 27, in exchange for the down payment and an unspecified amount of cash.'

Do You Resist Women’s Instructions?

(For comic relief) - A study posted on msnbc.com finds that when a man fails to help out around the house, his poor performance might be related to a subconscious tendency to resist doing anything his wife wants…. He is displaying what psychologists term “reactance -- the tendency to do the exact opposite of what's requested by a loved one or boss... Says the study's co-author Tanya Chartrand: "My husband, while very charming in many ways, has an annoying tendency of doing exactly the opposite of what I would like him to do in many situations."

Imagine that, a man with the gall to refuse a command from a woman. That dog obviously needs behavior modification! ("Not tonight honey, I’ve got a headache ...")

Veterans and Post-Care

Newsweek is covering the problems America is having with caring for its wounded veterans, who are overwhelmingly men.

I find it hard to believe there would be a bureaucracy so slow to move were the ratio of men and women wounded reversed. File this one under "male disposability", and start writing to your Congressoids. Excerpt:

'When he did call the following day, the response from the clinic was even more disheartening: the center was full. Schulze would be No. 26 on the waiting list. He was encouraged to call back periodically over the next two weeks in case there was a cancellation. Marianne was listening in on the conversation from the dining room. She watched Jonathan, slumped on the couch, as he talked to the doctor. "I heard him say the same thing: I'm suicidal, I feel lost, I feel hopelessness," she says. Four days later Schulze got drunk, wrapped an electrical cord around a basement beam in his home and hanged himself. A friend he telephoned while tying the noose called the police, but by the time officers broke down the door, Schulze was dead.'

Glenn Sacks: Targeting Anti-Father, Anti-Male TV Commercials

Article here. Excerpt:

'In November, 2004 we launched the Campaign Against Anti-Father Verizon Commercial, asking Verizon to stop running the commercial "Homework." In that ad a bumbling father tries to help his little daughter with her homework and is treated with contempt by both the girl and her mother, who orders the father to "leave her alone" and "go wash the dog." Our campaign made 300 newspapers, and the Verizon ad stopped running a few weeks later.

Today we are launching another campaign to combat anti-male advertising. Currently, several advertising agencies are competing for a $150 million advertising contract from Volvo. The agency which is the apparent favorite to win the contract is Arnold Worldwide, the creator of several anti-male commercials. Another, Euro RSCG, currently creates ads for Volvo, and created "Rosi," a popular, father-friendly Volvo ad.'
