Syndicated advice columnist Ellie Tesher suggests that a man beaten by his girlfriend seek joint custody with his abuser, even though the girlfriend is a danger to him and their child.

Several times, she has hit me, usually after several drinks [...] all while I was holding our 20-month-old baby.

Her advice: "... focus on getting a legal separation with joint child custody."

Story here. No surprise it has come to this: children must sue now to get to be with their fathers. Notice too this man was paying child support for years while his daughter was in a foster home. Did the money he was sending in actually get to his daughter in any way, shape, or form, or was it just another entry in the LA County's General Accounts Receivable system? Excerpt:

'But the lawsuit alleges that the Department of Children and Family Services failed to use "due diligence" to locate Thomas Smith. It claims the agency never notified Smith, who had continued making child support payments, that his daughter was in foster care and never gave him a chance to claim her.

"He's a registered voter with a valid driver's license 'and an open child support case," said Smith's attorney, L. Wallace Pate. "All they had to do, at any time during those 10 years, was pick up the phone and ask the L.A. County Child Support Services Department: `Do you have a contact on this man?"''

It seems this idea is finally gaining momentum. Citing a "new study", this article also mentions that there is no difference in literacy between home-schooled boys and girls. Why aren't the women who dominate elementary teaching being disciplined for failing to educate half of their students?

This article is instructive. I would have said 'eye-opening', but anyone with half a brain should have passed the 'eye-opening' stage years ago.

Having read the above article, the results of this article should cause one to ask some questions.

All three winners of this fair are women. The gender distribution of the fair participants, though not given in this article, was, according to other articles on the subject, 'still skewed'. I may be wrong, but I take this to mean that more boys than girls were participating. Still, assume that the genders were equally represented. This means roughly, a 12.5% random chance all three winners were women. If, say, a third of the participants were women, this means a ~4% random chance all three winners were women. All this in spite of the fact that boys still, somehow, manage to achieve higher scores on science aptitude tests. Indeed.

Well I used to count Kathleen Parker as an ally of MRAs-- a sort of ally-in-denial-herself, but one lurking in there. Sadly I must now conclude after reading this column by her that she isn't. She uses part of the plot/scenario in the recent Superman movie re-make to glorify the man who puts up with being cuckolded, and does so all the while not so much as mentioning the behavior of the mother in the matter. Needless to say, the superhero of the movie is not much above pond scum in her eyes, while I suppose, the leading lady is some sort of victim.

Just no end of it, is there?

RADAR ALERT:

Step 3: Talking Points for the Meeting with Your Congressman

VAWA is riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s time for change. And it’s time to put this on the political agenda.

The goal of the Truth and Consequences campaign is to meet with every Congressman around the country and explain the problem of VAWA abuse. August is often a good time for a meeting, but you may hold the meeting anytime before November 7.

Previous Alerts asked you to contact the Scheduler to set up a meeting, and then to prepare yourself for the meeting. You may want to review these Alerts at: http://www.mediaradar.org/alert20060626.php and http://www.mediaradar.org/alert20060710.php

This list of 10 Talking Points is intended to outline the main points to cover during your meeting. This is a possible set of issues to be covered —feel free to select the points you want to discuss.

Contrast the previous posting re their idiotic women-"made"-to-crave-unhealthy-snacks piece with this story also on CNN.com (what, was someone asleep at the editor's desk?). Perhaps those poor long-hours-working-women need to donate their candy bars to adoptive boys held in basements, unfed for days.

All I can think is that CNN.com has taken a page from MSN and happily copied it. These sorts of "stories" are now a regular thing on their news site. Excerpt:

'LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Working long hours has a greater negative impact on women than men because it makes them more likely to smoke, drink coffee and eat unhealthy food.

'Both sexes consume less alcohol if they spend more time working, researchers said this week, but toiling extra hours makes women crave unhealthy snacks.'

Let's see, where to begin deconstructing this claptrap...

Note that this rapist didn't "avoid" jail, but was "spared." Yet another female predator escapes jail on the pu**y-pass. And this monster raped her own SON! Note also how the writer of the news article desparately tries to find a man to blame it on, and it's quite a stretch, too -- apparently, the woman got messages on the Internet telling her to do it. Is that like blaming the voices in her head? Heaven forbid women should behave like grown-ups and have the strength of character to say "no" to an email. Good God!

Ahh, another "reverse the sexes" exercise for you... Libidos of a Certain Age, indeed! Not just the movie, but the audiences', as well as the NYTimes' reaction to it stink of double-standards. Men "of a certain age" heading south for sexual relations with teenage girls would of course be condemned, arrested, etc. Women doing the same to get with teen-aged island boys, however-- well, that's not only OK, it's grrreeeaaattt!!!

One of the most brilliant neuro-scientists in the world denied a female a job position in his research efforts and 11 gender feminists blast him and produce media condemning this man. Yet, six MIT faculty who WORK WITH him, including two women, wrote in favor of his decision. Apparently, men can not pick who they want to mentor if a female applicant applies for the job. Feminist bias is so apparent on high level issues, yet the same feminist deny bias in secondary education. Story here.

I don't know if anyone remembered the original story here, but it was unusual in that a woman who made a false rape accusation was later charged and convicted with making that accusation, even though it was only a class C misdemeanor for filing a false police report. Now, apparently, it turns out that even this is too much for her and society to bear. Story here.

Despite the previous conviction, and prior to an appellate trial by a higher court, the judge dismissed the case, had the woman enter a "diversion" program, and is making sure no one says a word about it... even though it stems from a criminal case. What is the diversion program for making a false rape accusation that can put someone away for years? 40 hours of community service, talk to a mental-health counselor at least once about the case and post $250 security. If she violates the terms of the agreement, including talking to the media, she forfeits the money.

CSM's film critic writes that Hollywood has invented a new cultural stereotype for men to add to our lexicon of deadbeat dads, homicidal maniacs, rapists, pedophiles, and incompetent eunuchs – the "Big Baby." A series of recent movies portray men as arrested adolescents who can't make the transition to married domesticity, fatherhood, and careerism. For the perpetual man-child, 'male camaraderie is both hailed and assailed. It represents a noble rite of passage that all too easily becomes a case of arrested development. The women in this universe are doting, exasperated saints who rescue men from themselves. These films are saying that men, left to their own devices, are nothing more than porno-obsessed lunkheads. Only through the acquisition of a wife and family are they truly fulfilled.'

“When Pamela Rogers, 29, was released after serving 198 days in jail, she was under orders not to contact the student or his family or use the Internet. But authorities say that even after appearing in court on a charge of violating her probation in April, she continued talking with the boy and sending him text messages and sexually explicit photos and video of herself.”

It’s refreshing to see a female sex predator being held culpable for her dastardly deeds. What is it about “STOP” that she didn’t understand!? Could it be that she was running with the notion that she would not be severely punished because she is a woman? Perhaps times are changing as precedents like this case would imply?

Reigning Men? Not any More!

Gents, it gives me great pleasure to reveal that pretty soon you’ll be surplus to requirements. We won’t have to iron your shirts, massage your egos, supply endless sex or be polite to your mothers.

Why not? Because in the delightfully foreseeable future we won’t need you OR your sperm.
