On November 13 The Washington Times (TWT) ran an inflammatory article on “Abused Wives in India Pin Hope on Anti-Violence Law.” The article claimed, “A 2005 U.N. Population Fund report found that 70 percent of married women in India were victims of beatings or rape.”
That statement implies that 70% of all husbands in India are batterers or rapists.

Columnist David Usher analyzed the claim, and concluded it was “yet another classic example of the feminist rumor mill in action” that came from a study that is a “misrepresentation of science.”

In short, the claim is a fabrication and a hoax.

Responsible journalism dictates that key facts be confirmed before they are published, especially when they serve to stereotype and denigrate groups of persons. But The Washington Times did not do this.

'Anguish has marked John Giovanni's life since his ex-wife bludgeoned their daughter to death nearly two years ago. First there was the news of the killing, committed as the teen slept. Then there was the moment he looked into her casket and realized how badly damaged her body was even after morticians did the best they could.'

"...it is important to look past the stereotypes to celebrate and recognise the good things about being male. "Then there is a better understanding of what it means to be male, what sort of things you need to think of, about how we need to look after ourselves and the way we interact with each other as males...

It gives the boys the opportunity to talk about issues affecting men in a totally male environment. It's about them trying to find out who they are and why they are. They are learning what it is to be a man and they see what that means from their own father."

“We were getting a lot of fathers who were losing custody because of traditions in the courts favoring mothers,” Delorto said."

“It doesn’t go away. Even today we have a hard time getting equal rights for fathers.”

'If the Education Department and National Science Foundation were strictly to impose Title IX compliance standards on academic science, we could see men's participation in math, physics, technology and engineering capped at the level of female interest. That would wreak havoc in fields that drive the economy and where the USA already lags other countries.'

'Current DV policies are so at odds with research and reality that many domestic violence researchers and treatment providers are rebelling against the DV establishment. Earlier this year over 50 of these authorities signed a letter urging the California legislature to stop the state's policy of excluding male victims and their children from DV services.'

...for women only, of course. Story here.

This is not the first time the current Spanish government has supported the outdated, one-sided feminist definition of domestic abuse. Already a law was passed there that allowed electronic tagging after allegations of domestic violence. Gender neutral language was only used after some politicians protested. The wording then used was "persons especially in need of protection".

Is there any wonder why male teachers are on the endangered species list?

"The Minidoka County School Board in southern Idaho has resolved to more strictly enforce dress code rules after some male teachers said they were reluctant to deal with underdressed students for fear of being accused of sexual harassment."

"During the trial, Adem testified he never circumcised his daughter or asked anyone else to do so. His attorney acknowledged that the girl had been cut, but implied that the family of the girl's mother, who emigrated from South Africa, may have been responsible"

"His trial was not fair ... how is it that Fortunate did not notice that her own daughter had been circumcised for almost two years? How is that possible? She only told the police when they got the divorce to hurt him — to get back at him," Adel Adem, Khalid's brother, told The Associated Press before the demonstration."

For years feminists and the government have solely focused on careers where women are not "properly" represented. Rarely, if ever, do you see an initiative promoting the value of men in desired professions. Nursing is no joke, an RN in a major metropolitan area can earn upwards of $80,000 per year.

Organization hopes male nurse calendar attracts men to profession

"We hope that by showcasing some of New Jersey's very own men in nursing, their scope of practice settings and their personal and professional interests, that other men will be interested in nursing as a career," Debra Harwell, the institutes's director, told The Philadelphia Inquirer for Saturday's newspapers."

Ms. Magazine’s editor Eleanor Smeal tells Bill O'Reilly in this recent youtube.com interview that – "You can’t have someone pregnant against her will." Assuming that this is an expression of feminist integrity and commitment to gender equality, would it be logical to also expect feminists to agree that "no man should have to become a father against his will?"

"Shelly Barreras says sometimes you have to do whatever it takes, in a peaceful way, to get results, especially when you’re dealing with government.

New Mexico Governor Richardson has apparently reneged on a promise to help the Barreras family recover $15,000 collected by the state as child support from Steve Barreras, for a child that never existed.

At half-past four Thursday morning Barreras climbed a ladder to her perch above I-40 to hang a large banner. Emergency vehicles and crews from three television stations arrived and the roads were closed."

Story found here. A man who was convicted of rape in 1992 was released when DNA testing cleared his name. The police labs refused to test him at the time. The woman in charge of the testing apparently has a record of doing this.

"Dads are doing a lot more nurturing," said Kevin Krippner, a licensed clinical psychologist with Twin Cities Behavioral Health in Normal. "You never used to see changing tables in the men's room."

"When dads are involved, the payoffs are big, with research showing it can boost kids' grades, improve behavior and increase the chances they'll be involved in extracurricular activities. And the role modeling benefits the next generation."

"Defense attorneys argued that Waremburg was insane at the time -- in part because of the emotional stress of having to raise the girl alone. She tried to commit suicide when she understood what she'd done, they said."

"The child, who is now 5 years old, has since fully recovered and is living with her father."
