Story here. The convicted man faces a possible LIFE SENTENCE based only on testimony, without proof or even evidence other than what the two accusers said. Let that sink in: LIFE IN PRISON based on uncorroborated testimony.

I am not saying he is innocent; I am saying, is it right that he was convicted for crimes which together carry a potential life sentence based *solely* on testimony, with no further evidence? Excerpt:

"A former linebacker in the Canadian Football League who is HIV-positive was found guilty of aggravated sexual assault for having unprotected sex with two unwitting women.

Trevis Smith, 30, was accused of not telling the women that he carried the virus that causes AIDS and of lying to one of them who even pressed him about persistent rumors of his malady.

Smith denied the allegations, saying both women were jilted lovers.
...
Sentencing in the case is expected on February 26. Smith faces possible life in prison, the provincial court clerk said.

Neither of the women has tested positive for HIV, said reports."

"Two fourth-grade students told administrators they believe they saw 59-year-old Joan Donatelli using drugs in the classroom last week.

Police were called in and found evidence of what they think was cocaine. She was charged with child endangerment and banned from the school."

Story here. Excerpt:

"Deputies kicked down a door early yesterday to rescue a man who they said was being pummeled by his wife in his Spotsylvania County home.

Capt. Will Petry said dispatchers received a 911 call from a cell phone about 2:45 a.m. The call came from the Grantwood subdivision, but authorities couldn't immediately pinpoint the location.

A second call came a short time later, and this time dispatchers heard a man in the background screaming for help."

"Title IX strives to equalize all opportunities - not just athletic ones - but reached its greatest fame in sports. For one piece of government code, it has achieved great things.

But the jig is up. The sheen is gone. Title IX has run its course. It's time to say goodbye.

Title IX should be thrown away simply because it does not fulfill its purpose anymore. The text of the law prohibits discrimination based on sex, and a whole new round of discrimination is here. This time men are the victims."

"A 50-year-old California woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to hire family friends to murder her ex-husband by putting wasps in his car, detectives say."

In accordance with our grassroots awareness campaign, here is another fact from the NH Commission on the Status of Men's (CSM) first biennial report:

FACT 3: Men die at a significantly higher rate from all common causes of death investigated in a 2002 study by the Endowment for Health. This includes:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Injuries
• Suicide

Here is the full excerpt included in the Commission's report "The Status of Men in New Hampshire": (read more to continue)

"Mortality rates from all causes (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, injuries, suicide, etc.) are significantly higher for men than women. A number of studies document a disparity between men and women's health status and health seeking behaviors."

Last November I had the pleasure of speaking as a member of a panel at the Children's Rights Council's Conference. The focus of the panel was on no-fault divorce, while my purpose was to address the role of the breakdown of male-female relationships in the international collapse of fertility rates (FRs). One of the main points that I hoped to make clear was that the often ignored concerns of men must be addressed in any attempt to correct the problem.

Here is an article detailing the expanding definition of rape to cover even intercourse after consent has been given.

As shown in the outlined court case, even if you pull out within a few seconds after she says 'stop', you can still be convicted of first-degree rape. The only rational choice that remains is to avoid sex altogether.

Story here. Excerpt:

“An astronaut drove 900 miles and donned a disguise to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot, police said. She was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts.”

“Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop to urinate, authorities said.”

I can’t help but wonder if NASA has become desperate to find qualified females to fill token slots on their shuttle missions? How else could this “Astro-Nut” have been able to pass muster? Presumably, candidates are subjected to psychological tests to determine their fitness. Were there no signs of problems when she was evaluated?

It's no secret that the Violence Against Women Act often ignores civil liberties and discriminates against male victims. But everyone assumed that at least VAWA was beneficial to women.

RADAR's latest Special Report, "Has VAWA Delivered on its Promises to Women?," reveals this belief may be false.

Packed with DoJ statistics, scientific studies, and actual examples, the report dissects, analyzes, and explodes the myth that VAWA is good for women.

The Special Report documents that:

Essay here. Excerpt:

"It seems that nothing will ever satiate the activist’s desire to unbalance the playing field as they have “championed blatant favoritism toward mothers in child custody disputes, often to the point of vilifying fathers” which has resulted in a stance best described as “maternal chauvinism.”

"Are women treated as objects in our society? Of course not, the only justification for such thinking arises from their often being handled like religious relics. Pleasing them and meeting their needs is now the basis of our societal structure along with our domestic laws, consumer goods, and perhaps television"

Story here. Excerpt:

"The number of male students is dwindling quickly enough that SPC recently created a support group, tentatively called Men on the Way.

Through tutoring, scholarship counseling and maybe even social outings, Men on the Way is aimed at increasing the college's male enrollment."

Article here. Excerpt:

"Nationally, there is a huge gender gap dividing the ranks of public school teachers, according to 2005 figures from the National Education Association. Of the 3.7 million teachers today in the United States, just 25 percent are men, a number that has stagnated for years despite efforts to increase that percentage."

In accordance with our grassroots awareness campaign, here is another fact.

FACT 2: The following is an excerpt from the Education section of the CSM's first biennial report:

The challenges that boys face in school can be traced back as early as prekindergarten. A 2005 Yale University report showed that nationally, boys are 4.5 times more likely than girls to be expelled from
prekindergarten programs. Also noteworthy in this study is the observation that "The increased likelihood of boys to be expelled over girls was similar across all ethnicities, except for African-Americans, where boys accounted for 91.4% of the expulsions." (Prekindergarteners Left Behind: Expulsion Rates in State Prekindergarten Systems. Walter S. Gilliam, PhD, Yale University Child Study Center. May 2005 Report.)

Like many other educational issues where boys are at a serious disadvantage, these facts are often overlooked by policy makers and the media. Compiling and promoting this information is another reason the state needs to keep its Commission on the Status of Men alive.
