Roy writes "Can anyone with Congressional process expertise explain why there appear to be four active bills reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in the House and Senate? House bills HR 3171, HR 2876, HR 3402, and Senate bill S. 1197 all seek to renew VAWA. On Sept. 8th, S. 1197 was reported out of the Judiciary Committee "with an amendement in the nature of a substitute favorably." I believe that means a full Senate vote is upcoming soon. Look 'em all up on http://thomas.loc.gov."

Tirryb writes "News.com.au reports here that a senior member for a French association for accident victims was publicly stripped by airport security, after a metal prosthesis set off an alarm.

First they pull his trousers down and leave him in underpants in front of 300 people, then they pull those down too. Of course the reporting is completely 'And on a lighter note...' If this was a woman everyone involved would be instantly sacked, and probably jailed..."

This past week our elected officials were deluged with telephone calls and faxes demanding that VAWA be made male-inclusive. Rest assured that every call and every fax you made helped our lobbyists who are working every day on our behalf. Thank you to everyone who pitched in.

As a result, on Thursday the Senate Judiciary Committee approved new language that states, Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit male victims of domestic violence...from receiving benefits and services under this title.

relates the findings of Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., author of the new book, "Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery."

His studies show that the claims that prostate removal surgeries have a high rate of success are based on biased and misinformed analysis of medical studies. These reports come from doctors with an interest in surgeries and uneducated members of the media.

Success rates for radical prostate removal are in fact low and even lower than alternative methods of treating prostate cancer, and have severe side effects such as sterility, impotence, incontinence, and reduction in penis size to name a few. Do your homework before letting a doctor tell you how to make a decision so critical to a man's life, one that effects so many men."

Of course not.

Evil White Male Oppressor writes "'As female voters weigh their choices in Germany's Sept. 18 parliamentary elections, some are wondering whether the chance to put a woman at the helm of their nation is more important to them than the party she represents.'

The female candidate states that the choice of a candidate should not be based on gender, but in a nationally televised debate last week, she underlined she would make women's issues — combining families and career, and promoting women into top echelons of business and politics — part of her job.

QUESTION: Why are only women allowed to openly discriminate based on sex and gender?"

Jim Moore writes "The very types of people who drove the wedge between U.S. men and women are now surprised the number of single person households already exceeds any other group - and their guesses are predictable.
I predicted this in the 80s writing "...and the bra-burners will grow old and die alone like Nazi war criminals, and they deserve it."

Rates for males and females have been getting closer in recent years. Violent crimes included are homicide, rape, robbery, and both simple and aggravated assault. Just the facts! Could it be that the justice systems are holding the "ladies" more accountable?"
