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."

Referring to this story reported on MANN, cnn.com has an update here.

Police say they have new evidence linking two elderly women to the death of a second homeless man on whom they had taken out an insurance policy.

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..?"

oregon dad writes "Finally - a very small measure of justice.
Search on "Kentucky Supreme Court" on the page to read the story."

Ed. note: Great site for those interested in tracking developments in "family law". Definitely bookmarkable!

Anonymous User writes "Victor Han, 34, of Staten Island has been charged with promoting a suicide attempt after his WIFE killed herself by driving off a cliff in New York. That's right folks. Wifey killed herself and now the husband is responsible for her actions. Try getting your mind around that idea, much less the fact that he's been arrested. Furthermore, Victor Han did nothing more than step out of his vehicle to take some pictures when she rolled up all the windows, locked all the doors, and drove his van off a cliff WITH HER TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. She died, they lived. The man is to blame of course for her voluntary actions and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When are we as a society going to start holding women accountable for their actions? When will we stop blaming and prosecuting men for the poor choices that women make? I'll tell you when, the time is now..."

oregon dad writes "Here is another study that clearly shows that boys outperform girls in Math, Chemistry, and Physics.
These are the foundation courses for Engineering degrees and this study points out (AGAIN!!) why Men perform better in that function."

Ed. note: What is really interesting about this report is that more women then men are now graduating with engineering degrees from universities and colleges. So why is it that men are graduating at a lesser rate in not just these fields but generally while as boys taking AP tests just a few years before, they are generally scoring higher? Very strange indeed.

College is filled with plenty of opportunities for distraction as well as, we know, special scholarships and support programs for women who want to go into engineering and the sciences. Perhaps between these two forces, the net result is what we see today: fewer men graduating with engineering degrees than women, and fewer men attending/graduating from college overall-- with the increasing tendency of this trend showing no signs of slowing.

Monday, June 26, 2006. That's the day that 40 organizations around
the country will launch an unprecedented effort to educate candidates
how the Violence Against Women Act tramples on people's civil rights
and destroys families.

The campaign theme is "Truth and Consequences: 2006 Elections." The
purpose of the campaign is to educate candidates involved in the 2006
elections about the truth of domestic violence, and the consequences of VAWA on families and children.
