The Toronto Star is publishing a firestorm of articles about the Status of Women here, here, and here.

Maclean's and the National Post have also picked up on the news here and here.

Woman Charged in Husband's Slaying

"I hate to speculate on what's going through some one's mind, but in my own personal opinion, I'm not sure she wanted to kill him either," said Sgt. Tim noble, Toledo Police Department.

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.

UNION, Mo. -- A woman who authorities say slit the throat of a young mother and stole her baby was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and assault as authorities cast doubt on her claims that she had recently lost her own baby.

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.

The latest from Teri re the Murtari case is here. Excerpt:

"As John Murtari wrote in his weekly newsletter; the appellate judge denied his stay. He’s decided to ask Judge Hedges for a reduced sentence. If that doesn’t work he’ll move forward with an appeal."

Yes, it seems she saw nothing and knew nothing and was just doing her job. Read all about it here. Not an ounce of remorse or sense of responsibility.

Suppose she’ll get the Femme-pass or the Age-pass? Or both?

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."
