Looks like the same people who aired that all-male sexual predator series not too long ago are also in on a sideways attack on DNA testing. Check out this story on ABC's Primetime web site regarding chimerism, an extremely rare condition wherein a person has the fused DNA from two different eggs in their genetic make-up. One discussion board for this subject shows the mentality: a one-in-millions exception to a general rule is grounds to suspect all DNA testing. Notice they also spend a lot of time talking about how terrible it must be to be a mother who is having her role as mother questioned, or her word questioned on the matter. Guess she found out just a little bit what it's like to be a father in a divorce case.

"Of course, as is right and proper, Victorian law demanded we get permission in the interests of equality," said SWAN's Debbie Roberts.

Link.

The continuing, feminist-driven campaign to push men out of public spaces is obviously gathering steam. I'd be very curious to know what (if any) bona fide reason there was for the exclusion of men in this case, or if the Victorian authorities simply rubber-stamped the hatred of men as western governments invariably do.

Story here. Excerpt:

"Female staff were the offenders in two-thirds of the prison cases, and two-thirds of the victims of prison staff were male inmates, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics."

News Release:

August 25, 2006

On Sunday, August 20, 2006 two representatives from the Los Angeles County Services Department (LACCSSD), attorney Lisa Garrett and Al Reyes Division Chief of Communications and Marketing, appeared on a Los Angeles television show (KTLA, Pacesetters) touting “Child Support Awareness Month” and the wonders of their abusive government agency. Not surprisingly, Garrett merely reiterated the propaganda that LACCSSD wants the public to believe and Reyes practically beamed with joy when he stated, “We have a new approach in our department where we try to reach out and start a dialog,” and “We’re doing outreach in jail.”

Article shows 'A study done in 1994 hints that if women think nobody is watching and judging them, and there are no physical consequences, they might be more aggressive than men.'

Very good stuff here. How does this relate to crime activity when they are likely not to be punished for pedophilia, or reproductive rape?

A local news station covered the Murtari hunger strike, including the interview on its web site. Teri Stoddard has the latest here.

"John Murtari, 49, former Air Force training pilot and loving father to 13-year-old Domenic says he’s back on strike. The New York father stopped eating and drinking July 31 to highlight the desperate need for family law reform when he reported to serve a 6-month sentence for child support arrears."

On the heels of the last story, look at this (requires RealPlayer plug-in). Add it to your list of things that fall under "Now I've seen everything," and send it on to your favorite feminist when she starts babbling in any way, shape, or form about marriage.

'Polygamy'? Well, that too, but also try 'fraud', 'grand theft', etc., etc.

Story here. Excerpt:

Kyle Elizabeth McConnell admits she has a habit of marrying men.

But while a lawyer for the 46-year-old says McConnell is simply a serial monogamist, Michigan authorities claim McConnell was a polygamist.

They allege she went from from one spouse to the next before they realized she had cleaned out their bank accounts.

McConnell has already pleaded guilty to attempted forgery and intent to defraud for writing bad checks to her former husband, Richard McConnell. Those checks were drawn on an account belonging to Len Battaglia, who she married before McConnell.

The latest from Teri Stoddard re John Murtari's brave efforts is here. Thanks to everyone who is part of making his sacrifices appreciated and his cause noticed!

I used to respect Christopher Wanjek's articles, until I read this one in support of male circumcision. What about "My body, my choice" for men as well, Christopher? Wanjek also makes the false analogy between the men's movement and a white rights club in college. What a jerk!

Christopher Wanjek's email address is wanjek-at-yahoo.com in case you want to write to him about what you think of his article.

Last Sunday, KVCR in San Bernardino, CA aired Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories.

Many of you will remember that when this film was aired last October, its blatant bias resulted in a veritable firestorm of criticism for PBS, and condemnation from both the PBS and the CPB ombudsmen.

For those who need a reminder, a history of the controversy is included below and also found on RADAR's site here.

Last December, the CPB ombudsman found that the producer's attempt to justify excluding certain interviewees, "amounts to a plea of guilty to violating the fairness and balance standards of PBS."

Considering this, one wonders why a PBS station would choose to air this film now? Three possible explanations come to mind:

Apparently, for certain women of a certain orientation, there can be nothing worse than becoming... male! Or, at least looking and acting like one.

So much for the whole "acceptance of differences" that gets touted from some quarters, eh? Looks like exercises in mind-broadening and learning tolerance appear to be necessary for more than just a couple types of person. Read The Trouble When Jane Becomes Jack.

Documentary about the allegations of ritual child abuse on the remote Orkney island of South Ronaldsay in 1991, for which social workers were severely criticised. Fathers speak about their experiences. DVD this program and show it to everyone you know.

I guess the poor turnout at last month’s 40th Anniversary bash (only 800 of N.O.W.’s alleged 500,000 members showed up -.001%) has made Kim Gandy pay more attention to "new" media. A recent N.O.W. website "Take Action" blurb worries that –"There are already many feminist voices in the blogosphere, but many of the blogs are written by ultra-conservative men with narrow perspectives." Fem-bloggers are advised – "If someone blogs about feminism being dead, or NOW being washed up, write a comment about why this is far from the truth and why you are proud to be a NOW activist!" Sounds like a self-esteem crisis, and creeping paranoia have invaded N.O.W.'s HQ.

Well a small blurb appears at UPI regarding the fact the suicide rate is 3 times the national average for white males. Just imagine the uproar if women's suicide rates were higher. The reason cited:

"Suicide experts are unable to pinpoint an exact cause for the higher rate but some believe white males lack the resilience and coping mechanisms that women and other ethnic groups have."

SO WAIT, ALL OF A SUDDEN WHITE MALES ARE WEAKER. AND HERE I BELIEVED THEM WHEN THEY TOLD ME WHITE MALES WERE THE MOST POWERFUL GROUP -- HENCE THE REASON WHY THEY OPPRESS EVERYONE...

Ed. note: Of interest: the comments people are leaving around the story on the UPI page. Apparently, plenty of folks see through the foolishness.
