Excerpt:

'The court papers include a 17-page declaration by Richards alleging that Sheen pushed her, shoved her and made threats against her and her parents. They also include transcriptions of telephone messages Richards said were left by Sheen in April 2005.

Sheen denied the allegations and the judge granted his request that he and Richards be allowed to tape record telephone conversations with each other. In a declaration signed Thursday, he said he and Richards had agreed to undergo counseling to "address parenting issues and to establish a mutually acceptable custody schedule," but that Richards stopped participating after two sessions.

He also alleged that he had been seeking overnight visits with the children but that last week, Richards "abruptly refused" to allow him any contact with them.'"

AngryMan writes "Top British scientist Susan Greenfield has voiced public concern about the use of Ritalin in the classroom.


“The use of Ritalin is probably having the effect of making the classroom more manageable,” said Susan Greenfield. “But we should be considering how to design the classroom to fit the child, rather than the other way around,” she said."

AngryMan writes "UK: A male teacher falsely accused of rape by a female student dies of cancer in prison and then has his name cleared by the Appeal Court. His 88-year-old mother has collected compensation from the government. The accuser, who remains anonymous, also accused another man, who was cleared. Lock this psychopath up. She is obviously a danger to the public. Story here."

The feminist movement, which initially was based on the desire to achieve equality and dignity for women, has been hijacked by a core of mostly-lesbian misandrists who have turned it into a doctrine of hate, blame, and imagined superiority. Those three elements make it remarkably similar to Nazi doctrine.

This would all be of little consequence, and the movement would have been disregarded long ago along with the mindless blame and hateful mutterings of other extremist groups like the KKK and the Neo-Nazis, were it not for the fact that feminism has become an institution in American politics.

At this stage of it, it reminds me of The Bonfire of the Vanities. Latest is here. My prediction is that after thousands, perhaps millions, in legal fees are spent, there will be no trial, or if there is one, the case will be dismissed or the jury will acquit or return no verdict.

The lawyers will of course get rich off this case. Some will manage to capitalize off the whole thing while others will be effectively ruined. Now just guess which'll be which!

Roy writes "Apparently the nation where men proudly wear kilts is fast becoming the most feminazi-fied place on earth. In this article linked from AngryHarry's site, the Scots have decided it's better to coerce a man accused of domestic violence into a confession of guilt as quickly as possible. Excerpts:


'As a result, many vulnerable women are spared the trauma of giving evidence against their husbands or boyfriends.'

'Domestic abuse is unlike any other crime, it’s not like house-breaking or robbery or drug dealing,'... 'You are dealing with a specific complex set of circumstances in which the offender and victim are intimately connected. It is appropriate that the court system recognises that difference with specialist courts... a specialist court on domestic violence allows for the creation of a constructive atmosphere.'

In the U.S. thousands of counties are using VAWA money to establish similar "DV fast-track" gulags."

From a Glenn Sacks action alert... passing it along, of particular interest to CA residents:

A new bill has been introduced into the California Senate
which will make it more difficult for children of divorce
to retain the loving bonds they share with both parents.
The bill's backers made a sweeping, last minute amendment
to the bill in order to slip it through before opponents
had a chance to organize.

QuickNick writes "The recent racist, misandristic op-ed in the Washington Post, "The Myth of the Boy Crisis," deserved to be condemned as the usual moral and intellectual rot on display in the mainstream media today. But just in case you have any doubt, the main point of the article is false. White women in 2001 received 31% more bachelor degrees than men (56% of all degrees). Including bachelor and associate degrees, white women received 35% more degrees than men. These statistics are from p. 9, Tables 1-A and 1-B of this report (.pdf file). Did you really expect the truth from a feminist journalism professor and a senior scientist at the Women's Studies Research Center at Brandeis University? The important point is that men's social justice activists should stand up for ALL MEN. Women receive 39% more college degrees than do ALL MEN. Don't let feminists pretend that black men aren't men."

Anonymous User writes "This article has less to do with women then it does with the biased nature of our justice system against men. All signs pointed to a brutal rape of one man by another, and yet the alleged attacker was aquitted. Simply put a female in the victim's place and tell me if this guy would have been aquitted..."

The past four weeks RADAR has released a series of Special Reports
that document how the Violence Against Women Act violates persons’
civil rights on a massive scale:

Restraining orders: According to the FBI, over one million
restraining orders are issued each year. Half of these restraining
orders do not include even an allegation of violence. These
orders are widely used as a legal ploy during a divorce proceeding.

Little Lion writes "Interim Director of Women Studies and English Professor Dr. Sally Jacobsen of Northern Kentucky University is alleged this April 12th to have invited her students to join her in the destruction of an anti-abortion display of nearly 400 crosses on the NKU campus. Professor Jacobsen was quoted as justifying her civil disobedience, which she characterized to the NKU administration as an exercise of free speech, on the grounds that "any violence perpetrated against that silly display was minor compared to how I felt when I saw it." A report on the incident in The Northerner Online is available here."

Ed. note: Would like a link for the quote attributed to Prof. Jacobsen; seems to me to be the most telling summary of the "modern" principle: "Your rights end where her feelings begin".

Ed. note II: Thanks to the original poster for providing the link requested in my note above. It is here.

Craig writes "Unfortunately the protest has happened without me even hearing about it on the radio as it took place. I'd be willing to bet it wasn't mentioned on TV either. Protesters have scaled Westminster Abbey claiming fathers are being "crucified" by the courts over access to their children.
