unrulypassenger writes "I haven't seen much here on the subject of the U.S. Supreme Court nominee and how the possiblitiy of Roe v Wade (abortion rights) being overturned would negatively impact the lives of all American males. Perhaps it's because this is primarily a Canadian forum, I'm not sure if I'm right on that. I suppose it would be an economic advantage to Canada and the other countries where abortions are obtainable. But American males' lives would be thrown back into the 20th Century/1950's backseat Chevy era and shotgun wedding times of yore ...not to mention the consequences of changes in child support laws, collection of social security numbers and all that has changed since the Pill and abortion rights. Men would be impacted far more than women and it looks as if that hasn't yet become apparent to many. There's not much we can do other than writing our Senators and keeping it zipped until we die. Article here."

Ed. note: MANN is owned and moderated largely (if not entirely) by American men. However it is meant to be a pan-national information/activism site and accepts submissions from anywhere in the world about topics relevant to men's issues regardless of where they come up, as misandry is, unfortunately, a global phenomenon.

mens_issues writes "The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women recently sent out a newsletter highlighting the need for services for male victims of domestic abuse. Of note, the shelter for abused men managed to get a roof in the nick of time before last winter, but still needs renovations before it can open.

A high school brawl leads to arrests at East High school, and the participants aren't who you'd think they would be.

Media still doesn't get that women are violent too.

The television show described here may be viewable only on NZ TV, and late at night on a Wednesday at that, but it's still good to see that it's airing. It seems to cover many of the concerns of men's rights activists everywhere. If you're in NZ and can see it, please do so and give us feedback. (Please record it and view it later, if you have to.)

Most readers here might not be concerned with this, but it's worth reading to become more informed about problems with technologically assisted reproduction techniques.

This is an interesting presentation of the sexual concerns of astronauts on long missions. It's a theoretical matter today, but in the future a number of people may be personally involved with the issue.

I guess I'll just say, "Make of this what you will."

Well, okay, I won't stop quite there.

People often say that sex crazed women are acting like men. No. They're not. They're acting like women, who no longer face societal condemnation for sexual license and who no longer have to worry about unwanted pregnancy.

I'm not at all certain that, in and of itself, that is a bad thing. And it may indicate why efforts to get women to keep their pants on more often, in order to bring men in line as far as committing to marriage, might be a very steep, uphill battle.

Debra Lafave is one of the female teachers who've become famous lately for being charged with statuatory rape of one of her students. After hearing about the charges, Lisa York, a mother of two, filed for a restraining order to keep Debra away from her children. Her request was denied. Story here

SJones writes "A New York "Family Court" judge is in the news for sending a man to jail because he sighed and because the judge didn't like the way his eyes looked. The judge was admonished not for his prejudice in sending a man to jail for what amounts to breathing and standing silently, but simply for failing to follow protocal. Apparently the judge was supposed to warn the man before sending him to jail for essentially no reason at all. The story is here"

GOLDEN, Colo. - A woman who authorities said had sex with high school boys during alcohol- and drug-fueled parties has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, officials said.

mbr writes "I've finally done it! For ages I've wanted to gather articles I've written all together in one place. I've now created a website called Breaking the Science. Check it out at http://www.breakingthescience.org.

Most of the articles currently on the website are related to domestic violence. I hope eventually to include articles that will broaden the focus beyond that to the entire subject of how too much research in the soft sciences is driven by the researchers' agenda rather than objectivity."

My Sweetiepie, Maureen Dowd (don't tell my other Sweetiepie, Hillary Clinton), is getting more press for her new book, "Are Men Necessary?"

It's interesting for me to read about this sort of professional blathering from English speaking women, because I no longer have an emotional response to it. Except for the few who are men's rights activists, these folks have become pretty much irrelevant to me. Not an irritation. Not a joke.

Irrelevant.
