She's done this before, as evidenced by this previous article I will try to explain below."

bandersnatch writes "From Seattle PI:

Most of the missing adults tracked by the FBI are men. More than one-in-five of those abducted or kidnapped are black. But you might not get that impression from the news media, and some journalism watchdogs are now taking the industry to task for what they see as a disproportionate emphasis on cases in which white girls and women - overwhelmingly upper-middle class and attractive - disappear.

"To be blunt, blond white chicks who go missing get covered and poor, black, Hispanic or other people of color who go missing do not get covered," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Washington-based Project for Excellence in Journalism. "You're more likely to get coverage if you're attractive than if you're not."

-- In my opinion, this is one of the more obvious signs that feminism has pretty much been composed of white women only concerned about their pocketbook and their reproductive freedom -- if you happen to of color or worse, male, too bad, you're SOL."

What will the excuse be this time, "job-related stress"? Read it here.

Can't wait to read comments on this one.

Five months ago RADAR set out to do what some considered the impossible: to convince the mainstream media to report the domestic violence issue in a balanced and objective manner.

Beginning January 16, we started to issue weekly Alerts that targeted newspapers, radio, and television. We went after the big fish, like the New York Times, and some of the small fry, like the Everett (WA) Herald.

Tumescent writes "I guess this article is written to be funny, and I guess maybe it is to the extent that apparently this guy has a hard time staying awake, but its pretty typical to how the media reacts to a lot of women against men domestic violence. It's framed in a "man bites dog" context. Two puncture holes to the arm and scratches from previous attacks, but its nothing to worry about, "I assumed he went back to sleep, har...har...har....""

Kathleen Parker has offered this commentary on recent news items about French men.

First, I'd like to say that, in part because I've visited France about a dozen times, I know a number of French men who are as heteronormative (Like that word? I couldn't resist.) as any American man. Her article, though, does carry some insight and a forecast regarding those dark clouds on the horizon. The following contains a few excerpts and my own commentary. If this seems long, please pardon the rantings of a married male. (A tip o' the hat to Tom Ellis.)

Anonymous User writes "Do you think maybe Jeb's already courting the feminazi vote for his anticipated 2008 Presidential bid?

From the Miami Herald today --

"One day after an exhaustive autopsy sought to end much of the controversy over Terri Schiavo's life, and eventual death, Gov. Jeb Bush said he plans to ask prosecutors to investigate whether her husband took too long to call for help on the night she collapsed in 1990.
A lawyer for Michael Schiavo called the governor's comments ''disgusting'' and said there was no delay in the husband's call for help."

It was refreshing to hear Don and Mike ("The Don and Mike Show" is a popular, syndicated afternoon talk show that airs in the major metropolitan areas in the US, including DC) today on the radio discuss how Mother's Day is a national holiday while Father's Day is considered at best a Hallmark occasion. They took some callers and took a few of them on, too. I hope some of you had a chance to hear it yourselves.

This story is utterly chilling. Some excerpts:

'"Members of the workshop said for spells to be powerful it required a sacrifice of a male child unblemished by circumcision," the report said.

'Contributors said boys were being trafficked into the UK for this purpose, but did not give details because they said they feared they would be "dead meat" if they told any more.'

Girls are not left out, either, it seems:

"There were also claims that youngsters were being smuggled into the UK as domestic slaves and for men with HIV who believed if they had sex with a child they would be cleansed."

"It [ie, this story] follows the case of a girl tortured by her guardians for being a witch."

Tumescent writes "We've all probably seen the follow up to the Runaway Bride story, but just in case you haven't here it is.
Just as expected, she and her idiot fiancé will profit from all of this."

This past Thursday Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) introduced the Violence Against Women Act of 2005 in the Senate. A similar bill is expected to be introduced in the House of Representatives in the next few days.

The proposed law, known as VAWA 2005, ignores the hundreds of thousands of men who are victims of domestic violence. This ideologically-loaded bill proposes to expand the previous VAWA legislation by taking the male = batterer, female = victim message and carrying it to children and youth, American Indians, and college students around the country. By our calculations, the bill carries a taxpayer price tag of $842 million a year.

Ray writes "If the government report in this news story is concerned about targeting preschoolers who grow up to be bullies, does that mean the children of gender feminists will be 1st in line for remedial correction?

'CHILDREN as young as three are to be singled out by nursery staff if they display aggressive behaviour or have a family background of criminality, according to a government report.'"

Champion75 writes "I am a new member. Here's an unabashed male-bashing web site I've come across. Also of interest is a list of sponsors, including match.com and lavalife.com. That these seemingly mainstream websites would even associate with such a blatantly sexist domain is beyond disgusting. It just shows you how little regard there is for true equality these days. Nevertheless, I encourage all of you to put these negligent sponsors on notice (I already have) that we will not give business to any company that condones and supports prejudiced web sites such as manhaters.com."
