bandersnatch writes "From AutoBlog -- "Volvo’s Sweden division has been convicted by the Sweden Labor Court of gender discrimination and ordered to pay the equivalent of $5,200 to a woman who was denied a job at a plant because she was too short to work on an assembly line. How their legal department missed that one, we have no clue. Evidently the gap between denying someone a job for being too short to denying someone a job because she’s a woman was bridged by calling it ”indirect gender discrimination.” According to the plant’s hiring policy, employees must be between 5'5" and 6'5" to work on the assembly line, and the court ruled that since this excluded more women than men, it was gender discrimination." Remember Volvo is the company that created the world's first concept female car. Poor Volvo -- they had to learn the hard way, give the feminists an inch and they will take a mile."

On August 17, RADAR sent a five-page letter (.pdf file) to Amnesty International – USA about its Stop Violence Against Women Campaign, complaining that the campaign violates the basic human and civil rights of men.

When Amnesty didn’t bother to respond, RADAR put out an Alert on September 19, requesting people to contact AI. The folks at AI obviously got an earful, because three days later – that’s warp speed for an organization like Amnesty – AI head Bill Schulz answered. His letter is shown below.

Tirryb writes "This study by the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, Australia
has shown that drink spiking is not as common as was at first thought.

Women apparently often report to hospital claiming that their drinks have been spiked, "the scenario of an offender slipping a sedative into another person's drink, presumably to stupefy them in order to take advantage of them". Most of the study participants were women under the age of 25...

But what the study found was that in the vast majority of cases, they had either taken recreational drugs themselves or had not realised how drunk they were - no spiking ocurred...!

Sounds like this is another scaremongering uncovered to me..."

Well it's great they did it, an article on the most dangerous jobs. The author conveniently neglects to mention that the vast majority of those in these lines of work are men.

Anonymous User writes "The Sept. 18 issue of PARADE (found in many Sunday newspapers) mentions that "the average rate of 'paternal discrepancy' (i.e., paternity FRAUD) in the Western world is about 4%". PARADE also states that 'paternal discrepancy' is highest with young mothers, because they are more likely to have multiple sexual partners."

Our modest success has provoked our openents into realising that no longer are we ignorable and hence the backlash has started and when there is a backlash we know we are winning."

Wasn't expecting the Post to publish such an essay, especially as it openly declares that young women are as *gasp* responsible for their lewd behavior as young men!

But as much as the author writes a strong, brave essay, I do beg to differ on this matter: young women are entirely responsible for their own behavior, lewd or not, as are young men for their own.

On August 17, RADAR sent a letter of complaint to William F. Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International. The five-page letter alleges that Amnesty's "Stop Violence Against Women Campaign" is factually erroneous and promotes the passage of laws such as VAWA that directly violate the human rights of men.

Neil Steyskal writes "If you read fiction and have been frustrated by the way feminist stereotypes dominate novels these days, get Robert K. Tannenbaum's new novel, Fury. In the past Tannenbaum wrote several stories about abused women, but someone seems to have educated him about the other side of the story. This new novel revolves around false charges of rape."
