"When this was first in the paper, it was almost a joke, because of the role reversal," prosecutor Cornelius Kelly said. "It conjures up thoughts of, 'Oh, that's a young man's dream.' But as we stand here today, we still don't know what damage this will have on the young boy's self-esteem, his interpersonal relationships. We don't know what damage the young girl suffered."
The article goes on to say... "Defense attorney Donald Papcsy said Imre had been raped and has a mental problem that made it hard for her to understand that what she did was wrong. "She's not a wicked person," he said."

AngryMan writes "UK: A woman kicked a grandmother to death in a row over a parking space. She wasn't jailed! A female judge gave her three years' probation and 240 hours' unpaid work, because she expressed remorse. The dead woman's family appealed, and the Appeal judge has sentenced the killer to 4 years. This is regarded as a victory. How much would a man have got for the same offence? Story here."

This from the BBC... excerpt:
The brain structure of people with autism is an "exaggeration" of the normal male brain, researchers suggest.
It has long been suggested that autistic behaviour is an exaggeration of male habits such as making lists.
But Cambridge Autism Research Centre researchers say the actual development of the autistic brain also exaggerates what happens in male brains.

Evil White Male Oppressor writes "This is great! Girls have started a boycott--or girlcott, as they're calling it -- of Abercrombie & Fitch. "We're telling [girls] to think about the fact that they're being degraded," Emma Blackman-Mathis, the 16-year-old co-chair of the group, told RedEye on Tuesday. "We're all going to come together in this one effort to fight this message that we're getting from pop culture."
From this story:
"State Senator Steve Rauschenberger says he plans to introduce a resolution in the state Senate this week, calling on trendy retailer Abercrombie and Fitch to stop selling a line of racy t-shirts. The Republican, who is a GOP candidate for governor, says the $24.50 t-shirts are "offensive" and "degrading." He says if the Senate resolution doesn't stop Abercrombie from selling its shirts - he'll lead a boycott of the stores."
DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THE T-SHIRTS THAT SAID "BOYS ARE STUPID, THROW ROCKS AT THEM," THE GREETING CARDS THAT MADE FUN OF AND DEMEANED MEN, AND THE KNIFE HOLDER SHAPED LIKE A MAN?!!! WHAT WERE MEN TOLD? GET A SENSE OF HUMOR! I GUESS WE NEEDED LEGISLATION INSTEAD. PEOPLE, THIS REALLY MAKES ME CRAZY!"

cmdr iceman writes "Perhaps the sand is beginning to shift beneath the feminist's feet "just a little" as we see here in this article as the conservative columnist Kathleen Parker lambastes moderern feminism for the bill of social dysfunctional goods it has foisted upon us all. Excerpt:
"Men haven't turned away from smart, successful women because they're smart and successful. More likely they've turned away because the feminist movement that encouraged women to be smart and successful also encouraged them to be hostile and demeaning to men.""

mens_issues writes "Several months ago, the NEUROTICA cartoon strip (by Big Al, the Gal) showed the "protagonist," Petunia, punching her grandfather "Gramps" in the face. Once again she has assaulted him in this manner. As if punching a 100-year-old man in the face is "funny." The strip was actually printed on October 10, but I just came across it now.
The email address of the cartoonist is: bigal-at-bigalcartoons.com

The Senate and the House have each passed bills to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, but Congress has not yet formed a conference committee to reconcile the bills. Although the House version of the bill contains a statement that the bill is gender-neutral, the bill is still seriously flawed.

CJ writes "The 'domestic violence' pork barrel keeps expanding. Last week the Boston Globe reported on the creation of domestic violence shelters for animals (pets), now the Globe reports that “domestic violence” activism will take place at the workplace as violence is highly prevalent now at work too(?). Oddly enough this alleged unreported violence will still be called 'domestic' violence despite the fact that it did not occur in a domestic environment. Clearly the totalitarian "DV industry" is looking to spread its might into the workplace so that men will be further incriminated and will also suffer career disadvantage in the workplace now too. Yet another way to spend the forthcoming VAWA grant money...expand the definition of "violence" and the expand the definition of 'domestic.'"

Man joins lawsuit against shelters
By Brittany Retherford
October 29, 2005
A Grass Valley man is claiming he was turned away because of his gender when he sought help from the county's Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalition, said the man's attorney Friday.
The man, Patrick Neff, is part of a class action lawsuit filed Friday along with three other men and one woman against the State of California and two state-funded domestic violence agencies, including Grass Valley's Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalition and Women Escaping a Violent Environment in Sacramento, said Neff's attorney, Marc Angelucci.
