A mother who cannot be named for legal reasons has denied pouring boiling water over her five-year-old son 11 years ago.
The prosecution claimed she had scalded her son to stop him constantly asking questions about his father, and afterwards had told him: "You say I did this and I will kill myself."
The boy said in evidence: "I was crying on the sofa because of what she'd said about my dad.
"She was in the kitchen and she flipped the kettle on three or four times.
"She then called me into the kitchen and said 'Sorry kid, but I've got to do this.'
"She then tipped the contents of the kettle over me."
The incident only came to light when the boy told his father nine years later he had not pulled the kettle on himself, the jury was told.
The jury has now been discharged, so is she going to walk? Probably...

All three stories are about men wrongfully imprsioned for rape....all spent many years in prison for a crime they did not commit. DNA evidence exonerated them:
One.
Two.
Three.

Once again we have a TV New Zealand News piece that shows quite fairly what men are up against in this equal world, which as we know isn’t equal at all. This isn't a direct connection so once you click the TV New Zealand site you will still have to click "Sunday: Men in early education (10:38)" under "Related Video" in the middle of the page.

Ed. note: The video stream is an .asx file type, so Windows Media Player will play it. The direct link is this, but you'll need Media Player installed so that it opens and runs as desired. Recommend Media Player version 10 on a decent platform, such as XP.

After reading this story I wonder: Will the Andrea Yates verdict have an impact on this trial? We all know a mother would NEVER kill her children unless she was insane. One of her children was 16 months old. I would be SHOCKED if postpardum depression isn't part of her defense.
"Lashaun Harris, 23, believes her children are growing up in heaven, psychiatrists say."

Story here.
People seem astounded such a thing happened. But why should they be, the press covers stories of parents (of both sexes) murdering friends and children almost daily. The surprise is that they are surprised. But then again, "everyone knows women, especially mothers, would *never* do such a thing...". Um, yeah, that's right, only men/fathers do such horrific things. Excerpt:
'Hall and the baby were taken to a hospital, where she refused to let doctors examine her and gave conflicting accounts of why she went into labor, alternately saying she had consensual sex and was raped, Hart says.
The baby girl showed no signs of trauma and an autopsy the next day failed to pinpoint a cause of death.
"We didn't even figure it was a homicide," Hart said.'

Read it here.
Excerpt:
'Hard-working men whose liberated wives had come to look askance at anything that might remotely be called housework. And it resonated with the average Joes who put in long hours on the factory line, only to come home and learn that he was a member of the male oppressor class.'

"After reading this story, it would be safe to say their next chief probably won't be a lesbian."
"Bleskachek endured, becoming Minneapolis' first female fire chief and the only openly gay fire chief of a major U.S. city. but now, two years after ascending to the top job Bleskachek is the one who stands accused of harassing women."

Paul D. "My boss said it was financial cutbacks, then why did she hire new staff last week without calling me back to work? I know why."....a possible outcome based on his profile on this disgusting website.
These men are fighting back with their class action lawsuit. Vindictive women post unsubstantiated comments about men they've dated. These women can include the man's name, picture and location. The women remain anonymous.

Not to be outdone with the "HIV is a Woman's Disease" move, now feminists have targeted perhaps the oldest of all scourges for their propaganda: poverty. Read it and weep/laugh/whatever right here. Excerpt:
‘Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton made a star turn this morning at former President Bill Clinton’s conference on global challenges, calling for a concerted attack on the “feminization of poverty” by destroying cultural, political, and economic barriers that trap women and children in desperate conditions.’
In case that isn't enough to get you sick, taste some of this outright horse-cow from our very own Anne Veneman in the 7th paragraph:

In this Ford ad (embedded video), Dad gets out of the car, sad dufflebag in hand, dropped off at his crummy townhouse, and thanks his ex for inviting him along for the day with the kids.
Meanwhile, she is the gatekeeper to the kids, and is driving a brand new SUV.
Truth in advertising.

Accused Denied Due Process in Duke Lacrosse Case? by Wendy McElroy
"I believe the accused are blatantly innocent and that the prosecuting District Attorney Mike Nifong is acting with willful disregard for both the evidence in the case and the Constitutional rights of the accused. In this case, I believe the legal system is the enemy of justice...and nakedly so."
The Duke rape case will be an "eye opener" when it reaches court this spring. Why should these men wait so long to prove their innocence? The outcome (not guilty) will raise awarness that some woman do lie about rape for their own perverse goals ($$$$). The three accused men happen to have parents with tremendous wealth. She is looking to make some money off this false accusation. Disgusting!

Kindergarten rhyming book stirs controversy
"Girls are dandy, made out of candy. Boys are rotten, made out of cotton. Girls go to Mars to get candy bars. Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.".
Parents are upset, rightfully so regarding a Kindergarden book that has negative messages about boys. Male biogtry now affects young boys. Is there any wonder why boys are falling behind in school? From the age of five these boys are brainwashed with the notion they are inferior to girls. Its time more men become elementary school teachers.
