The minutes from the July meeting of the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Men are now available from the CSM's web site. This meeting included two guest speakers. Dr. Elaine Holden of The Reading Foundation spoke about the prevalence of boys in special education programs, the lack of male educators in elementary schools, and reading disabilities. Justice Gerry Boyle (former Chair of the CSM before he was appointed to become a judge two years ago) also came to speak about domestic violence issues in the courts. See the meeting minutes for highlights from both of these speakers.

Latest from Teri on John Murtari here. Thanks Teri! And keep the faith, John! Excerpt:

"The following message was written by John Murtari on August 20, the day before doctors removed his feeding tube. He learned on Wednesday they would not be reinserting it as planned. He immediately resumed his hunger strike; no food or liquid, just enough water to keep his mouth moist.

John sounded weak on Friday, and I haven’t heard from him as expected this morning. I pray he’s in court today."

This week, RADAR's not asking you to make any calls or write any letters.

But we do want to let you know that Warren Farrell has graciously given RADAR permission to serialize the chapter of his book "Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say" that deals with domestic violence.

Watch the RADAR website for the first installment, coming soon!

A school teacher is actually suing his ex-wife who used the old false accusation gambit of sexual molestation of the children to gain an advantage in custody disputes.

False accusations by women are encouraged by society because there are really no consequences for using them.

A new study suggests that boys learn more from men and girls learn more from women.

"[The] study comes as the proportion of male teachers is at its lowest level in 40 years. Roughly 80 percent of teachers in U.S. public schools are women."

Expectedly, a feminist group was sought for commentary (men's groups weren't). Interestingly, the author notes, "As provocative as this all might seem, I really haven't gotten that much negative feedback."

Kudos to Marc Angelucci of NCFM-LA for his recent interview on 700WLW in Cincinnati. It is archived and available for dowload here (search on 'Marc' to find it), or right-click to download it here (.mp3 file).

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.

"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!
