Man Escorted From Planet Fitness Gym For Grunting

Story here. Excerpt:

'"We're creating an atmosphere that's not intimidating," said Carol Palazzolo, the gym manager, who yanked Argibay's membership on Monday.

Grunting is commonplace at most gyms, but not Planet Fitness, which discourages so-called "musclehead behavior." There's even a flashing light and siren on the wall, labeled a "lunk alarm," which sounds if someone grunts or drops weights on the floor.

Palazzolo admits she called the cops on Argibay. The Wappingers Falls police report said officers were asked to "escort a member out of the club for grunting while working out...which is not conforming with the rules of the establishment."'

WELL THERE WE HAVE IT -- MALE BEHAVIOR MUST BE RIDICULED AND OUTLAWED -- SO THAT WOMEN AREN'T FEELING INTIMIDATED. WHY NOT JUST CASTRATE THE LOT OF US AND GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY...

Don't Always Believe the Victim, by Wendy McElroy

Article here. Excerpt:

'For ten years, I have argued that both the law and society have embraced a fundamentally wrong approach to accusations of sexual abuse. The approach reverses the presumption of innocence and assumes that an accused is guilty until proven innocent. It also includes giving false accusers a 'free pass'; that is, until recently, it was rare for those who filed false reports to be punished by law.'

Glenn Sacks' recent e-newsletter provides good news to MRAs

Sacks writes:

"In a recent column in Monitor on Psychology (10/9/06), Dr. Gerald P. Koocher, the president of the American Psychological Association, acknowledges the truth about domestic violence--that women are just as likely to physically attack their male partners as vice versa. In Psychological science is not politically correct Koocher writes.."

Here is the link given in the newsletter:
Psychological science is not politically correct.

This seems to be a good start, to forcing feminist-leaning/female psychotherapists (which is most of them) to quit pretending men are only infrequent victims, and treating their "patients" accordingly!

Update on Father Accused in FGM Case

Story here. He was found guilty. I imagine though that there could be an appeal. This is another one to watch. Excerpt:

'During the trial, Adem testified he never circumcised his daughter or asked anyone else to do so. He said he grew up in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and considers the practice more prevalent in rural areas.

Adem's attorney acknowledged that the girl had been cut, but implied that the family of the girl's mother, who immigrated from South Africa, may have been responsible. The Adems divorced three years ago, and attorney Mark Hill suggested that the couple's daughter was coached to testify against her father by her mother, who has full custody of the child.'

U.S. Men's Testosterone Dropping Rapidly

This is disturbing for a lot of reasons. Lowered "T" in men is associated with an increased risk for various health problems including susceptibility to cancer, infertility, and depression. Excerpt:

'While a man's testosterone level will fall steadily as he ages, the researchers observed a speedier decline in average testosterone levels than would have been expected with aging alone.

They hypothesized that the rising prevalence of obesity as well as the sharp decline in cigarette smoking might help explain their findings, given that testosterone levels are lower among overweight people and smoking increases testosterone levels. But these factors accounted for only a small percentage of the observed difference.

It's likely that some sort of environmental exposure is responsible for the testosterone decline, Travison said, although he said attempting to explain what this might be based on the current findings would be "pure conjecture."'
