"It has become de rigeur for women to claim false allegations of violence in order to gain the upper hand in divorce and custody courts. The mere allegation of domestic violence is enough in many states to affect the child's access to a noncustodial parent. Programs instituted by the VAWA often leave kids in jeopardy and promote a society of fatherless children."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Once again, Missouri judges have ordered a man to pay thousands of dollars in child support for a child he didn't father.

This time, even the child's mother agrees the man is not the father. Yet a state agency says he is, because he was married to the woman when she gave birth.

The state wants David Salazar thrown in jail, and an appeals court on Tuesday agreed."

There's a bit of gold in the article, a quote from the victim:

"Reynato said that if he had married his girlfriend like the mom wanted, she probably (the mom) would not have stopped nagging them anyway and he saw no need of marrying her as it kept their relationship much more alive that way."

That's the attitude we all shoud have, we just need to avoid women who "warned him that if he did not get her what she wanted after staying with him that long, then she would cut off a part of her body that he loved the most."

Perhaps if a woman claims someone spiked her drink, we should ask if self-diagnosis by a drunk person is the most reliable source of information. Excerpt:

"Researchers at Wrexham Maelor Hospital who tested wobbly hospital patients who claimed their drinks had been spiked found most were simply legless, the BBC reports."

Here is the story.

"Officials: Woman pleaded guilty to attempted sex abuse. She will serve 36 months in prison after deal with prosecutors. Sex with foster child in her care admitted in a taped confession."

Will we be hearing about how "lucky" the boy must have been? Or perhaps we'll hear that you can't force a boy to have sex against his will, so he must have been "into it".

Well, hard to feel too much sympathy for Mr. Fiennes; chalk it up I guess to lessons learned. She'll capitalize well off of it, but he is likely to pay! Story here. Excerpt:

"The Qantas stewardess who claimed she rejected an amorous Ralph Fiennes on a flight to India has admitted having sex with him in an aircraft lavatory.
...
Miss Robertson, 38, told friends she was so overwhelmed with the moment that she did not care who was listening, what they saw or what they assumed had been going on.

That is in stark contrast to what she told her bosses at Qantas.

In a statement, she portrayed Fiennes as the villain, claiming he had followed her into the lavatory where he made his intentions clear.

...
It emerged that the liaison with Fiennes could prove rather profitable for Miss Robertson, who was declared bankrupt three years ago.

'Senator Biden needs to get his facts straight. On May 19, 2006 the Center for Disease Control confirmed that over 150 studies have found females are equally likely as males to engage in domestic violence and dating violence. The Senator is helping to continue to hide the other half of that “dirty little secret.”'

MSN.com has a story here primarily on the way high costs for long-term care and the counter-productive structure of Medicare/-caid have conspired to cause a huge surge in the divorce rate of the elderly:

"The population of divorced people over 65 has exploded in the past 15 years, and elder-law attorneys suspect money is at least partly to blame."

The comments of one expert to the effect that two-thirds of otherwise happily married older couples refuse to even consider the idea of divorcing for purely monetary reasons suggests the problem could be much worse. The current cadre of elderly is perhaps the last which was raised solely with traditional values about marriage being a life-long commitment, and they'll start to be replaced with Boomers with much different attitudes over the coming decade.

The article was written primarily from a personal finance planning perspective and didn't address possible changes in public policy, though you'd think this would be of concern to the family values and pro-marriage crowd.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Tiffany Sutton apparently wanted to drink up her lover on Valentine's Day - literally, authorities said.

Police early this morning arrested Sutton, who they believe may have tricked her acquaintance into having "kinky sex" so she could drink his blood.

The victim, 45, and Sutton, 23, were lying in bed naked at early Wednesday when Sutton asked if he wanted to be tied up and he consented, police said.

But that's when Sutton reportedly pulled out a knife and cut the victim's leg, police said.

Sutton reportedly told him that she "likes to drink blood" and made several cuts to his upper body, police said.'

POOR DEAR, I HOPE SHE GETS THE TREATMENT SHE SO DESERVES...

The falsely accused man (now acquitted) tells his story. His wife accused him of raping his daughter.

Story here. Excerpt:

"I later came to know from Khadesahib that Sangita was behind the entire conspiracy. She wanted to take possession of my Nallasopara flat (costing Rs 6 lakh), jewellery worth Rs 50,000, and also my job. She even applied BMC to give her the job in my place, since I was in jail for 'raping my daughter.' Fortunately, the BMC rejected her application, because as per rules, jobs are given only to kin after the employee dies in service. In the Palghar court, Sangita said she was unaware as to where I worked! At the same time, she wrote to the BMC for employment!"

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."

This week's e-Newsletter from Glenn Sacks is filled with good stuff. Excerpt:

"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."
