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?

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."

I believe I posted the original story about this woman. It seems more people are stepping forward as a result of her actions. Story here. Excerpt:

'A male firefighter is the latest person to sue the Minneapolis fire chief, a lesbian, claiming that she discriminated against him because he is a heterosexual man.

...alleges that Bonnie Bleskachek, the city's first female fire chief, and her partner, a fire department captain, gave him bad reviews, harassed him and denied him advancement.'

What was most intriguing (and disturbing) about this article is she had sex with him in 4 different cities.

"She has been charged with sexual assault of a child and improper relationship between an educator and a student, both of which are second-degree felonies, according to a news release from Frisco police"

"The boy told investigators that that he and Torres had sex in four different cities, primarily in her F-150 pickup either at his Frisco apartment complex or at soccer fields in The Colony, according to an arrest warrant affidavit."

Story here. Excerpt:

'The husband of a teacher accused of having sex with a 15-year-old pupil said she had been groped and punched by pupils in the past.

Mrs Poole, 26, denies having sex with the teenager on up to eight occasions.

She claims he forced her to do so by holding a screwdriver to the back of her head..

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.

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?'

A mother almost kills her child, but fortunately the father saves him.

'A Roselawn mother has been charged with doing the unthinkable, throwing her child into the street and oncoming traffic.

It happened early this morning on Seymour Avenue.

Police allege the suspect was involved in a verbal altercation with the young boy's father and that then the child allegedly became part of his mother's rage.

Police say she picked her child up and threw him out onto a busy road.'
...
'Gamble told 9News that the boy's father quickly retrieved the child out of the street, and the boy likely didn't even realize what had happened to him.

The boy's mother is facing one count of domestic violence and is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday.'

This is not domestic violence but attempted murder.

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.'

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.

Looks like another female convict is getting a second chance from our feminist court system.

"A Tucson woman who was sentenced to life in prison for the death of her toddler will get to argue to a Pima County Superior Court judge that her lawyer failed to properly represent her in an appeal."

Notice how she was released from a state mental hospital, not prison. The "Accused" comment somewhat confuses me.

'Although a woman accused in the sexual abuse of a five-year-old boy more than six years ago was not sentenced Monday, she was released from the state hospital.'

Any money gained through a civil case can't take away the 19 years of suffering in prison.

'A federal judge refused yesterday to dismiss a civil rights suit brought against the city of Lowell and newly named Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis by a man who spent 19 years in prison on a rape conviction before he was exonerated in 2003 by DNA testing.'

Why do women choose drowning as a method to kill their children? What do you think gentlemen, demonized or diagnosed?

"She knew they couldn't swim and thought she was sending them to heaven. God had commanded her to sacrifice her three boys, her most precious possessions, Harris later told psychiatrists. Passersby said she seemed dazed, disoriented".

"She said Harris believes her children are in heaven -- her youngest now potty-trained, her eldest in school. She sends God postcards written in crayon."

I know its Spain, a country usually not mentioned on this site, but this story is too funny not to post. Excerpt:

'A Spanish town council has vowed to banish sexism from street signage by demanding half of all road signs and traffic lights show female figures with skirts and ponytails.'
