UK - White boys from poorer homes worst in classroom

Story here.

'WHITE working-class boys are doing worse at school than any other ethnic group and risk becoming an “unemployable underclass”, according to a Conservative Party report.

Mr Duncan Smith says that lack of parental involvement is the prime factor behind white educational failure, not weak schools or poor teaching.'

Bush Needs to Rein in Feminist Operatives -- Carey Roberts

Article here.

Hillary in '08? Could be an M.R.A.'s worst nightmare.

"Under the Clinton two-for-the-price-of-one presidency, a bevy of feminist-inspired programs sprang up throughout the federal bureaucracy. A decade later, most of those programs are going stronger than ever, sucking up taxpayer money, violating men's civil rights, and destroying families."

"All this puts the Department of Justice feminists in high spirits, because with the stroke of a judge's pen, another family has been dissolved, a patriarch has been de-throned, and the statistics of "abused" women continue to mount."

Carey Roberts: 'Fathers No Longer Cost-Effective?'

Article here.

"There's a message here: persons have an enormous sense of gratitude for the many things - big and small - that dad did for them. I know, that's exactly how I feel about my father."

"But there is a small yet influential group in our society that views fatherhood as an anachronism and a stubborn obstacle to their utopian vision of the social welfare state. And they see divorce and award of child custody to mothers as a highly-effective ploy to achieve their goal."

RADAR ALERT: Fake Statistics Used to Claim that Wife-Beating is Men's "Birthright"

Throughout the world women in dating relationships are twice as likely as men to be perpetrators of serious domestic violence. In India, for example, 23.0% of severe aggression was instigated by women, 15.3% was male-initiated, and 61.5% was mutual - see http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mas2/ID41E2.pdf, Table 3.

But those facts didn't stop The Washington Times (TWT) from publishing an article that completely ignored the problem of women who physically abuse men: http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/20061113-120817-8603r.htm.

It's not just that the article is one-sided - it also makes inflammatory and derisive statements about men. The story quotes Brinda Karat of the All-India Democratic Women's Association who claims that men "want to hold on to their birthright to beat up women."

How can any responsible journalist include such a derogatory claim about any group in society?

N.O.W. Anticipates Gender Hate-Crime Law

The National Organization for Women is orgasming multiply over the future of feminist legislation that they envision following the mid-term elections.

NOW Prez K. Gandy writes --

"Feminists continue to celebrate the results of the 2006 midterm elections and recognize the hard work and resolve that brought many new women's rights supporters to Congress. As much as we enjoy -- and quite frankly deserve -- a good celebration, it's not too soon to ask: What next? ...

The targeting of girls in recent school shootings reminds us that it's past time for Congress to finally add gender, disability and sexual orientation to the existing hate crimes law. As we saw in the Colorado and Amish school shootings, women and girls are sometimes singled out for cruelty and even murder because of their gender, yet federal law does not consider these acts to be hate crimes, as it would if the students had been targeted because of their race or religion."

Retired Husband Syndrome

The BBC continues to pour out a stream of anti-male propaganda. Check this story out.

"In Japan it is estimated that 60% of older women have a common problem - their husbands"

The story: Once salarymen retire and stay at home, their wives become ill because they are so disgusted with their husband's mere presence in his own house. Marriage makes women ill, and they do not have enough rights to abscond with their husband's hard-earned pension.

These privileged women spend their adult lives in luxury and solitude, spending their husband's money, and then when he gets too old to work any more, they find him an inconvenience. And the BBC presents this as a joke.

The Japanese have felt the need to coin the word 'karoshi', which means 'death from over-work'. Who is it that dies of karoshi? The husbands I think you will find.

NYTimes.com: Health Disparities Persist for Men, and Doctors Ask Why

The NY Times continues to ride the fence, some days bashing men wholesale as if we are stones in a quarry and others pretending like they give a rat's you-know-what. Well anyway, here it is. Excerpt:

'In recent years, women’s health has been a national priority. Pink ribbons warn of breast cancer. Pins shaped like red dresses raise awareness about heart disease. Offices of women’s health have sprung up at every level of government to offer information and free screenings, and one of the largest government studies on hormones and diet in aging focused entirely on older women.

Yet statistics show that men are more likely than women to suffer an early death.

Now some advocates and medical scientists are beginning to ask a question that in some circles might be considered politically incorrect: Is men’s health getting short shrift?'

This is not domestic violence but attempted murder.

Jamaica Observer: Man rape?

This story from the Jamaica Observer:

'Since [Jamaican rape] law speaks only to women, it eliminates the possibility of a woman being able to rape a man. Notwithstanding this, police sources pointed out that technically, a woman can 'indecently assault' a man or cause him to 'engage in sexual activity without consent'.

Reports from the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) though, is that to date, there has not been any reported case of 'indecent assault' of a man by a woman.
...
As one female Inspector of Police pointed out, "I know that this [indecent assault] can happen, but maybe the man end up liking it [sexual act], and since he benefitted from it, he doesn't bother to report it.'

India: New Sexist DV Law Criticized

The Indian parliament recently passed a new DV law. The law has been severely criticized by the MRAs, journalists, and senior lawyers, because 1. It's sexist (covers only violence against women by men), 2. The definition of DV is too wide, almost ridiculous, 3. Effectively shifts the burden of proof on the accused man.

Here's Ms Renuka Chowdhary - Minister of Women's welfare being interviwed by Karan Thapar - a journalist. She is not able to give any coherent reply to Karan's questions. Read it here.

Ed. note: The interviewer is rather famous in India. Read about him here. Also read about Renuka Chowdhary here.
