Peter Allemano writes "NCFM's (National Coalition of Free Men) Greater New York Chapter experimented several times during the Spring by participating in 'Orientation' night at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center here in New York, where we manned a table, greeted visitors and gave away literature. The overwhelmingly positive reception suggested that taking the next step and scheduling
presentations at The Center might be worthwhile."

(Thomas writing now) Gay/bisexual men are, in general, well-educated and organized. In addition, because they have fewer children on average than heterosexuals, they have time for political activities and a relatively large amount of disposable income. (Several years ago, I read that, because of this, numerous companies had begun advertising campaigns designed to appeal to this demographic.) To the extent that the Men's Rights Movement works with gay/bisexual men, I believe we all stand to gain.

Warren Farrell writes "Here's NBC's question: If a mom takes a leave of absence, if she wishes to return should she be guaranteed her same job at the same pay? I think you'll appreciate my answer (a la Why Men Earn More). NBC Nightly News is this Friday, Nov. 11th at 6:30 pm Eastern, 5:30 in the rest of the country. And that would be the perfect time to do an Amazon order if you are thinking about giving your daughter or son a Christmas or Chanukah present that will both help them earn more and have a better life."

You can let NBC know your answer by writing to Nightly@NBC.com.

If you haven't purchased Warren's latest book, "Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap -- and What Women Can Do About It," this is a good time to provide support for a man who has done a tremendous amount to advance men's rights.

Garth writes "The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that divorced parents can't necessarily get their child support payments reduced just because they start taking more care of their children. What is most interesting about this article are the reader responses at the bottom, which are universally opposed to the decision. It is obvious that there are a large number of people opposed to the current trend of governmental and judicial stupidity. Will politicians ever take notice, change their stance to be more sane and reasonable, and reap a windfall of votes from bitter parents?"

RADAR – Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting – is a network of men and women working to assure the domestic violence (DV) issue is addressed in a balanced manner. RADAR was established in early 2005 in response to a series of inflammatory articles that appeared in the Washington Post.

"'It's a good day,' Parnham said. 'The whole issue of mental health, specifically women's mental health, has been championed in this decision.'

Parnham said a new trial is a mixed blessing, because Yates will have to relive the horror of her children's deaths, but added, 'She needs to be found not guilty by reason of insanity.'"

Anonymous User writes "Here is another example of how women are diagonosed instead of demonised when they do something heinous. A mother attackers her baby son with an axe and she 'would undergo a psychiatric assessment.'"

What do you people say?"

A UK expert said the fall was nature's way of ensuring men behaved in a 'civilised' and non-aggressive way around newborn offspring.

federico writes "Do you think that letting a baby die is murder? Infanticide?! Think again! Obviusly is not if you're a woman, specifically the mother.

Incredibly, Justice Terrance Clackson said, "While this is about loss of life, this is not about murder," and also noted that Anderwald's crimes involved deception but not violence. The article contiues stating that "After [passing out] she woke up, she put the baby in a garbage bag beside her bed, had a bath and watched TV" and "Co-workers said she was happy [the day after]". Of course the tearjerker line follows as the deception manual prescribe: "I wish I could change the past and bring Angela back," she said, using the name she gave the child."

Dittohd writes "Verdict - $46,200. I'm sure it's not what a man would have been stuck with had the roles been reversed but it's a lot better than nothing. Not surprisingly, the jury foreman said the verdict was not a slam-dunk, even with a mostly male jury. Also, the woman tried to get out of any blame by blaming the man. Gee, what a surprise!"

Read this. Now ask yourself, "Why aren't they being charged with lewd conduct as well?" Two men sure would have been.

Thundercloud. writes "Well I just saw on YAHOO news that Abercrombie and Fitch have folded, because of the boycott led by some irate girls and women.
They caved just like that. I was surprised to see A and F try to use the old "But it's meant to be humorous" excuse. They usually only try that on guys who complain of sexism. Well maybe these gals know how we guys feel, now."

Anonymous User writes "So men in Scotland can't get the best drug for treatment of prostate cancer because it is too expensive and not 'cost-effective'.

Imagine a drug for the treatment of breast cancer not being made available to women for the same reasons.

The program Breaking the Silence has been widely criticized for bias and inaccuracy in depicting a world in which the only abusive parents are fathers. The program amounts to a libel that dads who seek child custody are wife-beaters.
