Phyllis Schlafly...another individual who I personally feel is an ally towards our movement...

Excerpt:
"The notion is downright ridiculous that American women (the most fortunate class of people who ever lived) should submit to a treaty that dictates uniform rules for 185 other nations, all of which treat women worse than the United States. Ratification of conventions would be craven kowtowing to radical feminists, exceeded only by the treaty's unlimited capacity for legal mischief."

"Outrage: Detroit News Ad Warns Men--Get Her the Right Valentine's Day Gift or She'll Punch You in the Face

Jeff Brown, an astute reader, sent me the incredible ad above, which has been appearing on the front page of the Detroit News' website this week. It urges men to buy the women in their lives sufficient Valentine's Day gifts or they'll get a punch in the face (note the man's black eye). The caption is "Don't let this be her response.'

NOW Leader Tells Women to Divorce Their Husbands for Valentine's Day, Take Their Money, 'Hit Them Where It Hurt$'

Feminist family law attorney Sherri Donovan, National Counsel for the National Organization for Women, is urging women to greet their husbands this Valentine's Day with the words, "Happy Valentine's Day -- Let's Get Divorced!!"

Let your voice be heard!

Why must "used for sex" be in quotes as the headline?! Here we have a group of men forced into prostitution, brutally abused and eventually had their genitals mutilated.

How soon will this end up in a UN human rights abuses report or as part of a major report on the sexual exploitation of men in the world.

Of course the question was rhetorical as we know the answer will be never....

Warning for parents in sub-Saharan Africa: Failing to subject your sons to MGM can lead to denial of education, law or no law. Story here.

Wonder if there would be a mere shrug of the shoulders in response were these pupils girls? "But," some say, "what if circumcision actually does decrease HIV transmission?" Well, so would FGM, too, by the same reasoning: reduction of mucosa, surface area, etc. But that's no excuse-- or is it? Apparently when talking about boys, it is. Excerpt:

"The pupils were told not to return until they had completed the procedure.

'Please do the needful within two weeks and let your son report back to school with you immediately he is well,' a letter to parents from the school said.

Circumcision is not obligatory for admission to secondary school, but a study released in December said it reduced the risk of contracting HIV/Aids."

"A woman pleaded guilty Monday to attempted homicide, assault and kidnapping for trying to cut a fetus from her neighbor's womb. Peggy Jo Conner, 39, was accused of plotting to steal Valerie Oskin's baby and pass it off as her own. Both Oskin and the baby survived after a boy on an all-terrain vehicle spotted the two women in a clearing."

Late last week, the bill to remove the September 2007 expiration of the NH Commission on the Status of Men and provide it with funding has now entered the NH House. It is now known as HB704.

The first step this bill must take is to be passed by the NH House Executive Departments and Administration (ED&A) Committee. This committee consists of 20 representatives. (read more to continue...)

Yep-er, Mme. Faust has received the nod from Harvard's Alumni Board of Overseers-- unanimously, no less!

The move as you can imagine does not come without its critics, yet even at Harvard. Take a look at this one brave soul's commentary. And this is what one blogger at IWF has to say.

Watch in wide-eyed wonder as events unfold.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Jarrod Davidson was gunned down outside of his Santa Barbara apartment in July 2004, after someone had left what he thought was a gift — a potted plant — at his front door.

As 48 Hours correspondent Maureen Maher reports, Jarrod, 27, was going through a nasty custody battle at the time of his murder.
...
Jarrod Davidson was going to go back to court to try to get full custody of that girl," says Sorenson. "And that is the last thing they wanted to have happen."

"They wanted him out of their lives. They wanted him out of the picture," the detective claims.

Just 19 days before that hearing, Jarrod was murdered.'

"As Valentine's Day approaches, tradition suggests images of gentlemen ordering flowers for a special someone and of ladies planning a romantic night on the town. This year, however, students on many college campuses are rethinking these traditional displays of affection in favor of "V-Day." But don't bother looking for the term "V-Day" inside any of your Valentine's Day cards, because Cupid has been kicked off campus."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Sarah Dickerson, 26, now of Morton, was charged last July with five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The former Spanish teacher was accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student.
...
Judge Kevin Fitzgerald sentenced Dickerson to 180 days in jail and 48 months of probation. She must pay a $2,500 fine and restitution to the victim’s family for counseling fees."

We here at RADAR would like your help to make sure that Valentine's Day retains it's traditional value as a special time to celebrate and enjoy the love, honor and respect that most men and women still hold for each other.

We need your help because some revisionists are using 'The Vagina Monologues' play as a vehicle for hate and condemnation, and a new, inappropriate symbol for Valentine's Day. They want the V of February 14th to be remembered, instead, as a symbol condemning men as being insensitive, cruel, abusive, stupid and uncaring. Worse, 'The Vagina Monologues' is disingenuous. It rightfully condemns male/female rape, but wrongfully celebrates female/female rape. See: http://www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2004/0127.html.

Annually, hundreds of showings of the 'The Vagina Monologues are performed around the country every year – mostly on college campuses. And hundreds of editorials trumpet an unseemly level of respect for these hate-filled offerings.

Amazon.com is running a female-oriented Valentine's Day promotion on their homepage that promotes violence against men. As always, this hate is billed as "simply humor" and "not to be taken seriously". We all know the score on that one, but the fact remains that Amazon.com now has a photograph of the, "man-shaped knife holder" on its homepage.

You know what to do...
