Another one-sided story on those darned "Dead Beat Dads", and a way to shame them. Excerpt:

'Westchester County, just north of New York City, bought a quarter-page ad in Tuesday's New York Post aimed at shaming four major child support debtors into compliance — or at least finding out where they're hiding.

"Do you know where these deadbeat dads are? Their children don't," the ad said.'

Surprising they would run it, but here it is. They include the 10 main reasons a study (I believe they are referring to this project) discovered why men are avoiding marriage, but even more unexpectedly, they are running some very honest feedback from men. For example:

'You should have an article on why divorced men will not marry again. The responses would be very interesting. For example:

* They've already been taken to the cleaners at least once by a prior wife.
* If a woman has kids, she really has no use for a man. She's got the house, the BMW, the kids, and his support and alimony.
* The women of today have taken the place of the man from yesteryear. They are today what they thought men were 40 years ago.
* They run the risk of meeting a female divorce attorney.

I'm not bitter, just realistic."'

Interesting how they refer to her as "drugged" implying somebody else drugged her -- rather than her being on drugs. Since she killed a man I wonder if this will be listed as a hate crime... story here. Excerpt:

'NEW YORK (Reuters) - A speeding car driven by a naked woman high on drugs hit and killed a pedestrian in the New York City borough of Staten Island, before flipping over and stopping in a parking lot, authorities said on Thursday.

The driver, Taliyah Taylor, 24, of Staten Island, was uninjured in Wednesday's crash and pulled from the upside-down car with no clothes on by employees of a nearby hardware store, said William Smith, spokesman for the Staten Island District Attorney's office.'

Blogger's discussion is here. Excerpt:

'In her article, it's apparent that Sarah Childress implies an awful lot, but is careful not to say anything really about Tim. She mostly demonizes him through association with the subject, assuming from the start that Genia is truthful and qualifying most of the unsupportable claims with phrases like, "she says." So first to examine are the premises of the article, which are that Tim Shockome is a batterer, and that the judge awarded him custody based on parental alienation syndrome (PAS).'

This is the UK equivalent of the 'Superbowl Sunday' myth. Excerpt:

"Domestic violence surged by up to 31% on England's World Cup match days this year, Home Office data has revealed. The biggest rise in reports of domestic violence to English and Welsh police was on Saturday, June 10 - when England beat Paraguay 1-0."

"Domestic violence is a cowardly crime that will affect one in four women during their lifetime and, on average, claims the lives of two women each week - killed by a current or former partner."

Same old lies. No mention of female-on-male violence. No mention of gay-on-gay violence. For the first time, the article does suggest a link between alcohol abuse and violence.

Contrast it with this article, a blog by a serving UK police officer. Excerpt:

My greatest concern as an M.R.A is an education system that is oblivious regarding the proven biological abilities of boys. I also believe (maybe paranoid) that young boys are enemy #1 for feminists. They realize their futile attempt to re-educate males begins at childhood. Our young boys (future leaders) need to overcome a "girl friendly" environment that thrives at the expense of an anti-male education system. I'm not completely pessimistic, the system is beginning to acknowledge the education disparity.

Story here. Excerpt:

"The chancellor said he and the education secretary, Alan Johnson, have asked the chief inspector of schools to recommend changes in the classroom to personalise learning to boys' needs, including greater use of computers."

Report on the report is here. Excerpt:

"Never before have the UN feminists advanced the patriarchy theory so boldly. Never before have they presented their Marxist-inspired views in such a high-profile UN publication. And never before have they tried to stereotype and smear men in such a calculated manner."

"Apparently men's higher death rate doesn't comport with the UN's gender equality agenda."

Here's another story about a female teacher who is accused of sexually assaulting a student -- this time it's a girl who's the victim of the woman's advances.

"A popular French teacher at Streetsville Secondary School in Mississauga has been charged with the sexual exploitation and sexual assault of a student, police say.

Leslie Merlino, 36, was friends with the alleged victim before the incident, Peel Regional Police Constable Craig Platt said last night. She taught the 17-year-old girl in the previous school year and they had met outside the school and corresponded on-line, Constable Platt said.

Investigators contend that some of the on-line messages were sexually explicit. And this month, they say, the girl and her family approached police to complain that Ms. Merlino had acted inappropriately."

It took almost half way through the article before her gender was mentioned. As you can imagine, the excuses have already begun:

"Her attorney, Stephen Turano, said his client was innocent and it would have been "physically impossible" for her to have done what the boy said she did."

"I would find it hard to believe that these things could have happened because the bathroom had paper-thin walls and was a very tight space"

It's a pity these stories are so easy to find. Yet another female teacher is accused of having sexual relations with a student. At least one woman has identified a massive double standard exists:

“She really needs to be punished,” said parent Latonia Carroll. “Really, if a man did it, (he’d) get punished. If a woman does it, she should get punished.”

Former Beatle Paul McCartney has been accused of domectic violence by his estranged wife. The soon-to-be-ex claims Sir Paul stabbed her in the leg, was insensitive to her disability(ies) and called her an "ungrateful bitch."
Surely this has nothing to do with ensuring she gets custody and a fat monetary settlement, right?
Surely she has witnesses and/or doctor/hospital records from this horrible stabbing, right?

The Toronto Star published an article about Elaine Campione, asking why she, the accused murderer of her two children, was the trusted parent.

"Elaine Campione has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Yet she was the parent who was trusted, who had full and exacting custody of the children, who fought bitterly against easing access restrictions imposed on her estranged and allegedly abusive husband, who was reportedly terrified that she would lose those babies to their father.

Despite all the alarm bells — and they'd been clanging — despite Elaine Campione's palpable mental instability, her hospitalization, the purported warnings that she might do harm to those children, she was mistress of the manger.

In her care, those beautiful little girls were killed. Nobody protected them."

The National Post reports...

"TORONTO - Police have charged a young woman with allegedly hiding the dead body of her infant in a freezer for several years before it was dumped into the Humber River.

Ivana Levkovic, a 24-year-old Toronto resident, is also accused of a similar crime after the decomposing body of another baby was found in a vacated apartment in Mississauga earlier this year.

[...]

Her lawyer, Michael Moon, told a local newspaper that his client was "emotionally distraught" by the whole ordeal."

Golly. Poor woman -- the emotional distress of the whole ordeal must be awful for her.

More from the Sugar and Spice archives...

"The court heard one of the girls instigated the attack because she didn't like the way the boy looked at her.

It's alleged the boy tried to leave but Dignan stopped him and brought him back to the group so they could taunt him about his disability.

The group allegedly forced the boy to eat his own faeces and broken glass while one of the girls is accused of threatening him with a metal bar."

Story here. Excerpt:

'The new law has angered many men, who argue that there is no definitive evidence that violence is more likely to take place in an international marriage arranged over the Internet than in a domestic one. Unwilling or unable to find a spouse in the United States, some worry that the law could make it more difficult to find a wife abroad.

“We should have the right to correspond with, date and marry the person of our choosing,” said David Root, who has been involved with many women from the former Soviet Union in the past decade but has not married any of them. “The government shouldn’t interfere in this.”'
