Rise in Sydneys Domestic Violence

Anonymous User writes "Wow! A story that not only acknowledges that men are victioms of domestic violence but also mentions that there are cases where male victims than of DV outnumber female victims!

So much for the "Violence against women, Australia Says No!" campaign..."

Alleged assault on Tonya Harding

Christopher Nolan has been arrested after allegedly assaulting former figure skater, Tonya Harding. Though Nolan stated that Harding attacked him, and Harding lied to the police, apparently only Nolan was arrested.

Note that the article states that Harding's husband hired a hit man for the January 6, 1994, attack on champion figure skater, Nancy Kerrigan, but no mention is made of any criminal activity by Harding in the case. (She later plead guilty to hampering the investigation into the attack.) More details on the attack on Kerrigan can be found here. In addition, as noted here, the U.S. Figure Skating Association later concluded, using civil standards (preponderance of evidence) not criminal standards, that Harding "had prior knowledge and was involved prior to the incident." In addition, Jeff Gillooly, Harding's husband at the time of the Kerrigan attack, and Shawn Eckardt, who arranged it, both testified that "Harding had prior knowledge of the attack on Kerrigan and procured information that helped them carry it out."

But, once again, only the man, Christopher Nolan, was arrested in the recent fracas.

Domestic violence shelters for pets in MA

CJ writes "The domestic violence hysteria clans expand their networks in MA: Noah's Arkis - a domestic violence service for pets! It will be housed in the newly opened Family Justice Center in MA. The DV organizers will recruit and train potential foster owners, particularly on the sensitive and secretive nature of their roles. Animals won't be walked near areas where they originally lived, for fear that the abusive men will see them. Classes in foster care will be held at the Family Justice Center, at the MSPCA, and at the Animal Rescue League. What the article fails to mention is that men are removed from their homes for up to a year without due process and are arrested and often incarcerated without evidence when any type of allegation of DV is made. Naturally, this article got front page coverage."

Nationwide Comic Strip Promotes Warren Farrell Book

dschmidt writes "A bit late on this, I know, but just wanted to point out the 10/16/2005 comic strip "Mallard Fillmore" mentions Warren Farrell's recent book and even seems sympathetic to what it has to say! If your paper carries this strip, I'd suggest writing them in support of keeping it. (Hint: Read it as sarcasm/humor)



We all know how few in the media are so openly supportive of men's issues."

Oh, Ellen... "Equal Opportunity Bash", by Ellen Goodman

Normally I don't initiate the post of links to widely-syndicated mainstream columnists myself, but this one from our old pal Ellen Goodman warrants an exception. If you can find an argument of some kind in here or some sense of what she is trying to get at, please, post it and clue me in!

You can't deny though that she is an entertaining writer, from a style perspective anyway, depite the lines (or circles) of argument she does (or doesn't) draw...

Danica Patrick hits male IRL driver, plays it off

bandersnatch writes "From The Sun Sentinel:

"Danica Patrick didn't hold back words or apparently one of her fists after she got tangled up with Jaques Lazier late in Sunday's Toyota Indy 400 at the California Speedway. "The first person I saw after the accident was Jaques, and that wasn't a good thing," said Patrick, who blamed Lazier for the Turn 4 mishap that knocked both from the race with 15 laps remaining. "I confronted him. I told him how I felt. I was mad at him." But sometime during the ride to the infield-care center in the back of an IRL safety-team vehicle, Patrick evidently took it up a notch. The Press-Telegram learned that the 23-year-old IRL rookie sensation struck Lazier in the face. The driver of the SUV had to stop briefly to tend to the situation, which reverted back to verbal sparring as they circled the track."

Check out Google News for more journalists defending Danica for assaulting a man... I mean fair and balanced news stories."
