Anonymous User writes "Looks like Andrea Yates will get her second go at pleading insanity due to postpartum depression. Another classic example of women using their femaleness as an excuse for their criminal behavior. They wouldn't do it if men weren't so gullible as to buy this bunk.

'(CourtTV) -- For the second time since Andrea Yates drowned her five children in a bathtub, her lawyers will attempt to convince a jury she was legally insane when she did the unthinkable.

With its guilty verdict in 2002, a jury in Houston, Texas, seemed to reject defense arguments that a history of mental illness compounded by postpartum depression drove Yates to drown four sons and a daughter, ages six months to seven years.'"

Roy writes "In yet another stunning illogical about-face, NOW argues that single-sex schools cannot be allowed. The Michigan Senate has passed a bill to allow single-sex schools, but Kim Gandy proclaims – "We strongly oppose these bills because the separation of boys and girls, and the underlying (and false) assumption that girls and boys are so different that they shouldn't even be educated together, introduces harmful gender stereotypes into public education... Contrary to what supporters are saying, research does not show that gender is an accurate, consistent, or even useful determinant of educational needs." Gosh, did I misinterpret the last twenty years of the "girl’s educational crisis" that was at the forefront of feminism’s protests? And, now that 57% of college students are female, did I miss something else in the alleged "harmful gender stereotypes?" NOW is a priceless exemplar of feminist integrity."

A topic recently discussed in a syndicated story is the increasing social isolation that typifies living in "modern society." It leads to problems all by itself and exacerbates existing problems, most notably those that can be addressed at least in part by the company of others (for example, depression).

Isolation and depression impact men in particular ways and for a variety of reasons. So, be on the look out for the effects of isolation and depression and if you spot it in yourself, do something about it: get help, get more social, whatever you need to do.

Return of the King writes "A female youth counselor vanishes after allegations that she was having a relationship with a minor she met at a school where she worked - and the newspaper and police call HER missing and have not brought charges against her. She has been spotted thousands of miles away from her home state with the young male student. Can you imagine what would happen if the genders were reversed? The whole nation would be hearing about it every minute of the day. This woman has received a highly sympathetic handling of her crimes. It is time to dismantle the feminist poisoning of this nation's police. Excerpt:

'At least two witnesses reported seeing 8-year-old Brennan Malone with his mother, Jennifer Malone, and 16-year-old Christopher Cole.

Police Chief Gwen Deurell said Saturday she believes these are two solid leads that place them in the Tampa area late Friday...

...

Police this week began a nationwide search for Brennan, his mother, 32, and Cole, the teenage boy she is believed to be involved with.'"

They're not just for Tokyo anymore! This article is a lovely entree into establishing them right here in America.

Maybe they'll add entire women-only subway lines, too. They'll hit all the major stops plus new ones at all the women-only gyms, banks, spas, etc. that are both already here and on the way!

AFG writes "Continuing her assault on radical feminism and the family courts, the National Post's Barbara Kay writes about how it is men who suffer the most after divorce due to feminist ideology influencing Canada's judicial and political circles. Last week, Kay was one of two writers who lambasted the one-sided view of domestic violence in Canada (among other gender related issues), and next week, she will offer solutions to fix the problem. Excerpt:

'In fact, non-custodial fathers' loss of their children causes them fathomless anguish. Herein lies a paradox: We know that fatherlessness is the single biggest predictor of criminality for boys, and low self-esteem for girls, leading to a variety of social failures. Nevertheless, no significant swell of political will has yet materialized to bring more balance into post-separation childcare.'"

Michael_NC writes "A court rules against the father for not filing an affidavit to legimate a child after the mother lied to him and told him she had a miscarriage. He had previously did all he could for the mother and upcoming child until the lie.

'RALEIGH - A biological father should lose his parental rights because he did not establish himself as a caregiver, even though the mother deceived the man by claiming she had a miscarriage, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.'"

AngryMan writes "A woman shot her husband through the heart with a shotgun, and claimed that it went off accidentally while she was doing an erotic dance to please him. The jury didn't believe her. Story here, but it is not described as a domestic violence death."

Return of the King writes "The U.S. Supreme Court made it easier on Thursday for an employer to be held liable for money damages when a worker has been 'retaliated' against after a discrimination complaint.

This ruling means that anytime a woman alleges any type of harassment, then ANY action afterward by the company - even years later (i.e. if she fails to show up for work and is penalized, if her job responsibilities EVER change, if her title changes, if she used to file in cabinet A and now files in cabinet B ...ANYTHING... then she is now a victim of the employer and can sue for damages).

It should be of no surprise that harassment cases are the fastest growing lawsuits currently in the U.S. The court ruled workers can collect damages even if the retaliation did not involve a firing or lost wages (?!)"

Marc A. writes "Not long ago the Mountain Valley News, a weekly newspaper covering about ten cities Los Angeles County, printed a story on a battered women's shelter and told the usual femi-fibs about domestic violence.

NCFM-LA wrote the editor a letter refuting the lies. The editor not only printed it but, the following week, ran a surprisingly-positive story on NCFM-LA and discrimination against men. The actual article is here (.pdf file) , and the text is also linked to NCFM-LA's website here.

Thank you letters can be sent to the editor at editor-at-mvnnews.com."

Anonymous User writes "Friday, a new law comes into effect. Under this law, a prisoner can claim bail as a matter of right if he/she has been under detention for more than half the prescribed period of imprisonment.

There were more than 217,000 undertrials in Indian jails (2003), 96.5% of whom were male. See http://ncrb.nic.in/PS-2003.pdf.

With this law, about 50,000 inmates are expected to be set free. Most of them will be male since males typically spend more time in jail as undertrials."

bandersnatch writes "From the Globe and Mail: A Vancouver woman will receive monthly support payments from the ex-husband who cheated on her because the emotional toll of his conduct prevented her returning to the workplace, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Wednesday morning. A 7-0 majority emphasized that their ruling it not intended to return the concept of fault to divorce law. They instead expressed confidence that the emotional consequences of marital misconduct can be considered in spousal support cases without actually slipping ‘fault' back into the Divorce Act. The Court awarded Sherry Leskun a continuation of her $2,200 monthly payments, based on the harm that Mr. Leskun's philandering caused her as well as the particular difficulty that a woman of her age has returning to full employment."

Tirryb writes "For those who doubt woman are as abusive as men... This report states that this Chinese woman 'accidentally' killed her husband with a sword, when he refused to make her dinner.

Apparently she had often held her husband at the end of her sword to force him to do her bidding. She's an expert swordswoman who had been using it since she was young. And, yet again, just what do we think would happen to a man who'd killed his wife with a sword after a lifetime of threatening her to be his slave..?"
