here. A telling excerpt:

'Ann Jacobs, executive director of the Women's Prison Association, said states with high rates of women behind bars should look closely at alternative sentencing, particularly mandatory treatment as an option for drug offenders.'"

I wish him luck getting the story publicized."

Anonymous User writes "Clearly these poor girls are victims of the white male patriarchy. We need to help them. Notice one of the solutions is to make school more interesting for these poor girls. Yes, gear school to be even more feminized. Also, its ironic that the headline isn't 'Boys better Behaved than Girls'. Story here. Excerpt:

'In a disturbing confirmation of the spread of the 'ladette' culture, it found violence, aggression and self-destructive behaviour has spread alarmingly among girls over the past 20 years.'"

While on the Contra Coasta Times re the second most previous submission, I found this story as well. To think, these "old ladies" are probably grandmothers.

Helen Golay, 75, and Olga Rutterschmidt, 72, were arrested Thursday after they allegedly collected more than $2 million in benefits from policies issued on the lives of two homeless men killed in hit-and-run crashes in 1999 and 2005, authorities said.

Police believe the women may have committed the fatal accidents themselves, and were befriending other men to set up more insurance policies.

RandomMan writes "Sounds like 'Jack' the Ripper may actually have been a 'Jill', according to recent DNA testing. Correlates with other evidence, too, as it turns out. Story here. Can't wait to hear who the feminists in the media blame for this one!"

Marc A. writes "This Contra Costa Times editorial on dating violence spews the feminist myth that, “In male-female relationships, 95 percent of the victims are the girls.” No current credible data supports that. I wrote the opinion editors and the letters editor about this, showing the data and asking them to provide their sources. If you have a moment, please do so also.

Well she has redeemed herself to some degree in my eyes. :) I saw this in my local paper and thought, wow, how did THIS get past the editors? I also found it several other places, including here on the Orlando Sentinel. It ends with:

White males -- descendant as they are of the imperialistic, colonizing, native-raping patriarchy -- are the new culturally approved targets of the lynch mob.

dschmidt writes "Analysts believe former Beatle Paul McCartney may lose 1/4 of his 1.56 billion dollars to his soon to be ex-wife in his allegedly upcoming divorce.


If that happens, ex-wife Heather Mills stands to gain roughly $1.9 million for every week of a 4-year marriage!!


Even sadder, Mills offered to sign a pre-nup, and McCartney refused! Wish he had that little piece of paper now!"

AngryMan writes "A 57 year old woman has been convicted of waging a hate campaign against her neighbours for more than a year. The court has given her an Anti-Social Behaviour Order, a kind of injunction which means she is banned from doing certain things. What would a man have got in the same circumstances? Almost certainly jail time. This woman is a psychopath who has apparently shown no concern about her actions."

RandomMan writes "A women 'pulled off' her husband's genitals when she discovered he was cheating on her. Story here. It's a sad story, but it wasn't treated as 'humorous' and the article pointedly mentions the fact that 'authorities said she could have faced attempted murder'. Why doesn't she still face attempted murder charges, since her violent actions could easily have resulted in the man's death? I was under the impression that the victim did not need to actually die for his or her assailant to be guilty of 'attempted' murder. I feel terribly sorry for the man involved, and wish him a full and speedy recovery, but I'm pleased that the media and the police didn't make their usual attempt to laugh this attempted murder off as has been the norm in recent years. It's nice to see that mutilating and attempting to kill one's intimate partner is finally starting to matter to police, even if the attacker is a woman."

The UCLA Daily Bruin has printed this article on male victims of domestic violence. I'm not surprised that Marc Angelucci of NCFM-LA presents important facts, but it's very refreshing to see the same done by Tina Oakland, director for the UCLA Center for Women & Men, and UCLA Clothesline Project executive co-chair, Alexis Flyer.

Anonymous User writes "When I see stories like this I am always amazed at the subtle and not so subtle way the media has created the modern gynocentric world in which we live. An article about downloading music laced with terms like freedom and choice for women, all while gloating that men download less. Really, what is the point of this media fluff piece? Excerpt:

'Ms Watson Smyth said: "The freedom afforded by new technology means that women are now confidently downloading music at home and broadening their musical horizons in private.'"

RandomMan writes "In Germany, there is a loophole which allows men to 'falsely' declare paternity (there's a switch), allowing mothers with children to remain in the country and receive social benefits. The man receives some compensation from the woman for committing this fraud.

Unethical and immoral, but it's happening. However, women have been saddling men with false accusations of paternity as a money-making scheme for over a century, but now 'action is being taken', because something about all this lying might somehow benefit a MAN who chooses to lie. It's not that I support lying by anyone, but...double standard, anyone? The fact that this loophole exists because the laws were designed to permit the fraudulent naming of fathers for the profit of women seems to tbe quite lost on the government officials involved."
