Luek writes "Here is a good article about a woman who lost custody of her children to her ex and ambushed and murdered him to regain custody. She was also $7,000 behind on her child support; another deadbeat mom. The ex also got the house too!

It is significant to note what the now convicted murderous felon's mother said at the sentencing. She said, "You cannot take your children away from a mother and come out with the same person," Betty Rountree said. "It's almost like God gave children to a mother, and the father comes second."

Only a real misandrous b1tch would say something like this but unfortunately too many family court judges have the same negative attitude."

I saw this and wanted to scream. The media ignores the relatively much larger numbers of homeless/shelterless men as compared to homeless/shelterless women, all while running "stories" like this one?? Yes, believe it.

'Howard said Lilley received the reduced sentence because the girl's father didn't want to press charges. The vocational teacher and softball coach was arrested Nov. 1 after the girl told deputies about their three-month relationship that began in September. Lilley said it was consensual.'"

'Singapore‘s drug laws, which include the death penalty for possession of certain amounts of drugs, provide for different punishments for males and females.

While male offenders can be punished with up to 15 strokes of the rattan cane for drug-related offences, female offenders are exempt from caning.'"

bulldogo.1 writes "Most Australians are appalled with the way the conservative Federal government treats political asylum seekers here. They are routinely rounded up and immediately placed in detention centres (jails), where they are held for years. In the past some have been freed, but only if they are women or children. The latest chapter in this sorry story again has humane Australians up in arms. But no-one, now or in the past, comments on the gender discrimination of it all."

Dan writes "This was a study to determine gender differences in seeing pain in other people. It is slanted to say that men like to see others suffer.
The last paragraph of the article does say that the study might be flawed because the men felt threatened."

I guess the Netscape folks want to compete with MSN so they maintain their "news" portal in much the same vein as MSN. You need only visit their main page to see articles and stories the likes of these: No. 1 Reason Women are Unfaithful (complete with racy strip-tease-like picture) and Man Said to Fake Death, Keep Child Support (complete with inside-the-prison picture).

Summary: Cheating women get sexualized while desperate men get demonized.

Excerpt:

'The high court ruled in a 45-page decision that Cary did not receive a fair trial because instructions about self-defense were not given to the jury. The Supreme Court said Circuit Judge Charles D. Griffith Jr., who presided over the trial, erred in keeping that information from the jury.'

Roy writes "There's an intriguing media battle going on right now as feminists are mounting a P.R. assault on satellite network DISH TV for pulling the plug on the womyn-centric "Lifetime" channel. Claiming that DISH TV, a private company, has no right to "deprive women of their favorite entertainment...." Lifetime's CEO writes -- "DISH has no right to decide for women that they should not have all of the viewing options for which they have paid — especially their favorite networks. The only disservice to women in this dispute is keeping Lifetime off the air." Another Evil Patriarchal plot to make women unhappy?"

Kathleen Parker wrote an excellent editorial about an effort underway in New Hampshire to put some teeth into child visitation orders. Rep. David Bickford is sponsoring the bill, HB 1585, whose idea was originally proposed by psychologist Dr. Stevan Gressitt of Maine. The bill would refer violators of child visitation orders to the state's Department of Health and Human Services to prompt an investigation for child abuse or neglect. New Hampshire's head of DHHS supports the legislation. This bill could help reduce the number of Parental Alienation Syndrome cases in the state, and is definitely a piece of legislation to keep an eye on.
