Newsweek publishes this story about a woman who supposedly lost her kids to an "abusive" husband by a crooked court system.

She cried victim and the bloggers heard her cry -- backing her with petitions, endless articles, and more. (Google her name to see all the petitions and blogs).

But they ignored some important facts. Glenn Sacks did a little digging...

"Some of the more important points contained in the documents include:

1) The allegations of abuse against Genia's ex-husband, Timothy, were never once substantiated.

2) The abuse allegations coincided perfectly with every custody hearing.

3) Genia was caught--on videotape--at a supervised visitation center coaching her children to make remarks against their father.

4) During the hearing resulting in her contempt charge and jailing, she was warned over 15 times to stop interrupting the judge.

5) Despite a position with IBM, paying $80,000 per year, Genia refused to pay her child support.

Here is an interesting story not so much that a woman actually was arrested for DV but for the little blurb at the end where the male writer seems to obsess over the weight differences of the female perpetrator and the male victim as if that was really relevant.

I guess the destructive and outmoded concept of chivalry is very deep rooted in this culture.

Alan Karmin of New Jersey was accused of domestic violence. But he had never assaulted his wife. What was the basis of the claim? It was alleged that Karmin telephoned his ex-wife 10-15 times a day and was late on his child support payments. But telephone records and cancelled checks easily disproved both allegations.

How could anyone make such a ludicrous accusation? Because in New Jersey, state law includes “harassment” in its definition of domestic violence. And according to a report issued today, New Jersey and six other states fall in the “Extremely High Risk” category of states with laws that actually encourage false allegations.

“An Epidemic of Civil Rights Abuses: Ranking of States’ Domestic Violence Laws” ranks the 50 states and District of Columbia, and identifies which states have laws in greatest need of reform. Those states are Alaska, California, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia.

Canada's New Democratic Party (a party that cannot seem to gather more than 20% of the vote in any given election) put out this press release criticizing the current Conservative government for failing to ensure that the mandate of a number of women's organizations will survive into the near future.

Don't count on the Conservatives getting rid of such groups, however, as they are well aware that most Canadians are brainwashed into believing that women are oppressed and that these groups actually stand for equality. Like every political party, the Conservatives just want the most votes.

BIAS AGAINST MEN STILL APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT DISPLAYS AT SAN DIEGO’S ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF FAMILY VIOLENCE, 2006

The annual International Conference of Family Violence took place this past week (Sept. 14 thru 19) in San Diego, California. Visual #1 I was not able to attend every day that the conference was open, but made it for the entire day on the 18th.

How much taxpayer money was used by participants, and, or exhibitors, in the furtherance of this event is anybody’s guess, considering what a business minded person would describe as “questionable VAWA accounting methods.” In my opinion, it appeared that a very significant number of people in attendance where people who have directly benefited from the billions of dollars of taxpayer’s money that has funded VAWA over the years.

The Conference consisted of numerous exhibition booths set up in the hotel’s Grand Ballroom, and break out workshops in other meeting rooms. The workshops addressed various issues surrounding family violence.

At last, something positive about men in the world of literature!

I found this book, Men's Rights Activists by Steeves Volmar. It's a good read, very encouraging, realistic and helpful. All about men's issues from biased laws to courts, etc.

I'd recommend to all of you!

Truly horrendous abuse case here. Not just (just?!) the physical abuse of scalding but the mental abuse too:

"A mother poured boiling water over her five-year-old son after he annoyed her by playing a game and asking questions about his father, a court has heard."

This story should come as no surprise.

"If this was a 29-year-old male and a 17-year-old female, I would be inclined to order some incarceration," noted 3rd District Judge Mark Kouris during sentencing yesterday for Cameo Patch."

As predicted, after conquering liberal arts, they have targeted the sciences. Read all about it here. I feel sorry for the old fuddy-duddy professors in their labs at night-- do they have any idea what is about to hit them?

Check out this story. An innocent man spent time in jail for a sexual offence he never committed. His accuser has a shocking history of false accusations. Yet she remains anonymous.

He was convicted by Northamptonshire police in England. Here is their feedback form. Please send them your comments.

"HUNKY teenage labourer Joe Norman was sacked from a building site at a girls school — for driving pupils into a frenzy.

The 18-year-old, who had spent the summer helping to build an extension, started getting wolf-whistles when classes resumed after the holidays."

FINALLY, a false accuser is actually going to do time -- and in the UK, too! Congrats UK!

A teenager who entertained four men in a Cardiff Bay flat with a private lap dance - which was filmed on a mobile phone - has been sent to jail for crying rape. Cinzia Sannino, 18, of Llanishen, Cardiff, was locked up for six months at Cardiff Crown Court after she admitted making false allegations

See the article here -- it's a good read.

Men: Continue to work yourselves to death.

According to this CNN article, it is very important for women to take care of themselves and spend some time on themselves. Mind you, they recommend this if the woman is "single or married, childless or mothers".

But only if your female. While it's obvious that EVERYONE could benifit from spending some time on themselves, apparenly CNN thinks that only women are worthy of it. Why, in an health article that could obviously benifit both genders, is it represented as a woman's issue?

This is one of the most frightening stories I have ever read. The man loses his penis in an accident -- gets a new one in the first ever of its kind surgery. But... "although the operation was a surgical success, surgeons said they had to remove the penis two weeks later. "Because of a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife, the transplanted penis regretfully had to be cut off," Dr Hu said."

Even more disturbing, AND I QUOTE: "...The question is whether it's right to be doing a transplant for what may be seen as cosmetic reasons."

Thank God health insurance companies pay for breast implants after breast cancer in women...

This woman repeatedly made false rape allegations. The prosecution witheld this information from the defence lawyers and an innocent man spent 3 years in prison. After his conviction was thrown out by the appeal court, he gets no apology from the police or crown prosecution service, and she still gets to keep her anonymity - so she can get another innocent guy thrown in jail?
