Man Cleared Of 1981 Rape, Gets Apology, Little Else

Well, it has happened again thank God!
DNA testing cleared this man of the politicized crime of rape.

What makes this rescue notable is that the judge who released him, a female judge no less, apologized to the victim and said it made her sick to her stomach thinking about the years he spent incarcerated over a crime he didn't commit! However, the article doesn't say anything about monetary compensation or the need for stricter evidence guidelines for rape.

BBC - Fewer women seek student places

Yes, the BBC has chosen to give a headline on their main website entitled "Fewer women seek student places". Reading the article reveals the decrease to be about 0.5% (yes really) but that female applicants outnumber male applicants by 55% to 45%. The BBC has recently been exposed as internally admitting that they "may have taken political correctness too far". This article is living proof. You couldn't make it up.

Duke Case: Nifong Just Can't Admit His Error

Story here. Excerpt:

'DURHAM, North Carolina (AP) -- The prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse rape case has heard the criticism from experts and armchair lawyers, and said Monday he is comfortable with nearly all the decisions he has made and confident about taking the case to trial.
...
In the early days of the case, Nifong granted numerous newspaper and TV interviews, at one point calling the players "hooligans" and declaring that DNA would identify the guilty. DNA failed to connect the players to the accuser.
...
Roberts said she was unable to get the accuser to leave her car, and pushed on the woman's arm and leg to try to force her out. Roberts quoted the accuser as saying: "Go ahead, go ahead. Put marks on me. Go ahead. That's what I want. Go ahead."'

Typical response to fathers' rights protest

A few weeks ago, the Governor-General of Canada, Michelle Jean, attended a violence against women fund-raiser in Montreal. After the function, she was met by a number of fathers' rights protesters outside. She listened to their views, thanked them, and left.

Here are her reflections on that meeting. Notice how she paints the views of these fathers in comparison to how she paints the views of battered women's advocates? We can send her a letter through the appropriate channels mentioned on her site, we can respond to the blog entry in the comments section, or we can start a discussion on her forums. The important thing is we have to be heard.

News Tribune: "Colleges abandon frightened women"

If this was a "NC17" website, I would offer numerous examples of women using their sexuality as a form of manipulation at S.U.

"Story" here. Excerpt:

'They wish more young men would focus on their minds and souls, instead of their bodies. They are tired of crude social games that serve the desires of men rather than the dreams of young women.
.
.
.
'Women have flourished academically in this well-regulated environment. On the other hand, men increasingly set the rules for an unregulated social life. … They’ve streamlined the old system. They’ve eliminated the time-wasting efforts to attend to women’s wishes and gotten down to the fundamentals of adolescent male desire: playing competitive games, drinking with buddies and having sex with lots of compliant women.'

NYTimes: What Do Women Want? Just Ask

'More companies, in the United States and elsewhere, have realized that they overlook women at their own financial peril.'

And there's no financial peril in overlooking male consumers?

Essay here.

You know, it seems the NYTimes has gotten a case of multiple personality disorder when it comes to gender-issues reporting. It seems some of their writers are fully aware of the negative impact of feminism and at other times, celebrate it. I can only imagine what one of their editorial meetings looks like.

I recall reading similar kinds of articles on the purchasing power of women that had been published back in the 1920s. The same point was made even then about how women make most of the household purchase decisions-- in households where they lived with men (back then, it was presumed, to men to whom they were married).

RADAR ALERT: UN Violence Report: Three Strikes and You're OUT!

The United Nations recently released its biased Violence Against Women report. The report is filled with half-truths and distortions about violence against women, and absurdly claims that the root cause of domestic violence is male "patriarchy".

So last week, RADAR issued an Alert and press release that went to 17,000 media contacts. But that was just the warm-up pitch. In honor of the recently-concluded World Series, this week we're fielding our whole ball team.

RADAR and 90 other organizations from 9 countries around the world have formed a coalition to stop this dangerous report. These organizations are based in the United States, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Australia, and New Zealand.

This is what two of these groups are saying about the UN report:

"The UN Report ignores the plight and pain of half of all victims of domestic violence. In effect this report 'sanctions' male victims and ignores the terrorism that fills their lives simply because they are men." — Lee Newman, executive director, SAFE International

Kraft Foods slams men in order to sell their products

Not a new topic to MRAs but an essential one. Kraft foods has been bold enough to place an ad on their website denigrating men in order to sell their products, namely, their new line of A.1. steak marinades. The clever little ad reads, "A marinade so unforgettable, even a guy won't forget it."

What are they suggesting, that all men are so stupid that they can't remember which products they have used in the past? Or that women are just so naturally superior to men that they won't have to worry about forgetting which products they use? In either case, it's bad and we should not just ignore it as "humor"-based advertising. We did that in the past and look where it got us. Every time this comes up we have to hit them back hard. That's only way this will ever stop.

Freep.com: "United States puts more women at risk in conflicts"

Article here.

The harsh reality of war and death should be understood by anyone who enlists in the armed forces. We cannot equate the mortality of one gender over another. They are all soldiers, each death tragic, regardless of gender. Excerpt:

'Ann Wright, a retired Army colonel and former State Department diplomat, said that, with each woman's death in Iraq, the public becomes more aware of the dangers women face. But it hasn't spawned the backlash some predicted.'
