A mother accused of cutting off part of her son's tongue with hot scissors avoided a 5-year prison sentence and was sentenced to 10 years' probation.

Davis heated a pair of scissors on a stove in August 2004 and held it to her 6-year-old son's neck before cutting off a piece of his tongue as punishment for talking back, authorities said. Her estranged husband, Toby Davis reported the injuries to police and she was arrested.

The most telling: In the meantime, Richardson said Samantha Davis was relieved by the sentence. "She was hoping for straight probation but at least it isn't the five years in prison the state wanted," he said.

I don't think any introduction is needed for this story, other than soon the streets of the UK will be plagued with psycho women! I am even more strongly thinking about moving to South America. The UK is really becoming a joke.

A woman keeps another woman enslaved for years and receives two months of jail time -- the last sentence has the husband yet to be tried. They appear to have added sexcual assault on to the list of "other charges" he faces. Any bets on his jail term? Story here.

Here is a story about a "deadbroke dad" John Murtari who decided to stop cooporating with the system that enslaved him.

July 31, 2006 - UPDATE - John began his six month jail sentence today, at the Jamesville Correctional Facility near Syracuse. He reported to the Jail at 4 PM, and as planned, refused to cooperate with staff once he identified himself. He took a seat in the lobby. He refused to answer processing questions and politely explained that he was not going to cooperate. John stayed sitting in a chair until two officers placed him into custody and dragged him out of the room.

AT LEAST SEND HIM LETTERS OF SUPPORT!

In step 4 we gave tips on how to meet with your Congressman and persuade him or her of the need for Congressional hearings into the egregious civil rights violations fostered by VAWA.

Just as important as holding the meeting is following up after the meeting:

In the same issue as they covered the matter of millions of non-working/work-discouraged men, they laud and trumpet mass mutilation of boys here. There's seemingly just no end to the madness the MSM promulgates.

Millions of men in the prime of their lives, between 30 and 55 -have dropped out of regular work. They are turning down jobs they think beneath them or are unable to find work for which they are qualified. About 13 percent of American men in this age group are not working, up from 5 percent in the late 1960's. Most of these missing men are former blue-collar workers with no more than a high school education. But their ranks are growing at all education and income levels. It is a significant cultural shift from three decades ago, when men almost invariably went back into the work force after losing a job and were more often able to find a new one that met their needs. The missing men are also more likely to live alone. Nearly 60 percent are divorced, separated, widowed or never married, up from 50 percent a decade earlier...

So, the crime is the same: the parents are having sex with their children and doing it live over the web. But, mom only gets 40 years, but the dad gets 5 consecutive life sentences PLUS 96 additional years!

No bias indeed.

The June 2006 minutes of the NH Commission on the Status of Men have been released. They include a summary of Dr. Murray Straus' testimony before the Commission, as well as two different perspectives regarding the annual domestic violence conference sponsored by the NH Attorney General's office.

Divorced dads lose in SCC ruling on child support

Here is the story.

Excerpt:

Canada's Supreme Court has ruled ex-spouses [READ: DADS] could face hefty retroactive child support payments if they fail to declare increased earnings -- a decision that could affect thousands of divorced and separated couples across the country.

The ruling was unanimous: 7-0. The top court decided that ex-spouses -- the fathers in most cases -- who pay support have an obligation to report increases in income which could therefore boost their court-ordered payments.

Not that this will come as a surprise, but in an emergency session of the UN's security council about Isreal's continuing attacks on Lebanon, there were plently of the usual anti-male comments:

"Action is needed now before many more children, women and men become casualties of a conflict over which they have no control," Annan said.

"These bombs which killed 57 children and women are American bombs," Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari said.

The real surprise was that a member of the UN said anything at all which recognized that a few men might also be injured or killed, when in fact it is primarily men who suffer and die during wars and armed conflict.

Philalethes dropped us an e-mail earlier today lamenting the lack of sorting options for viewing comments on the new site. Fortunately, this was a feature I simply forgot to enable, and users can now configure how they want comments to appear. Just like the old site, the comment sorting controls appear at the top of the comments list. Set it as you'd prefer and click the "Save settings" button. Enjoy!

Ever wonder how things would have played out if Andrea Yates was an Andrew? Wonder no more -- "A bank executive who said he had battled depression for years was sentenced Friday to life in prison for killing his 5-year-old twin daughters. David Crespi, 45, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder to spare his family the trauma of a trial and possible death penalty. He has a wife, Kim, and three surviving children. In court, Crespi apologized to his family and his late daughters, Samantha and Tessara, saying the girls "deserved to grow up" and be loved. Crespi told police that in his periods of depression, he thought of killing his children, wife and parents or running over strangers with his car, but he had always been able to stop himself.

From Yahoo PR, Match.com has released a press release that's just chalk full of sexism, outdated gender roles and typical male shaming. Citing a rampant rise of "Bachelorism", it continues, "educating" readers about the symptoms of this "horrible disease" which includes: "Generally acting like a jerk, Leaving the toilet seat up and Generally unkempt appearance." Eventually winding down to suggest the cure and you guessed it, finding your soulmate on their site.

IMO, this is both negative and positive news. Negative that companies still find it acceptable to shame/slur/insult men in their advertising. Positive that is evidence that more and more men are waking up to the fraud that is marriage and the anti-male courts and proactively joining in the marriage strike.

Excerpt: Nifong also said there was evidence he hoped to have in the case, such as DNA, but that it didn't pan out..."There were things we hoped to have in terms of evidence that we ended up not having," Nifong said...However, Nifong said that he stands behind the case....

"I have not backed down from my initial assessments of the case," Nifong said.

Translation: We hoped to have evidence to back up our wild, false, politically motivated, misandric claims, we didn't, but they're still guilty. I FEEL it!
