Battered Justice, all right...

.. at least as far as the truth goes. The Washington Post has done it again. The author's article ends with the usual appeal to governmental chivalry with:


In fact, the history of profound gender inequality in the government's treatment of wife-beating makes the problem one of core constitutional concern. No less than police brutality, this kind of passive misconduct implicates fundamental civil rights.

Actually it's more the other way 'round really. Has a battered woman ever been made to ride backward on a donkey while crowds threw garbage at her (search on "donkey" to get to the relevant text on the page)?

See menweb.org and mediaradar.org for more resources on this topic. Also, you can read about the author of the Post article here; her e-mail address is jmeier-at-law.gwu.edu.

Eligible? How much money have you got?

AngryMan writes "When the UK recently passed the Freedom of Information Act, Angela Wright decided to use it to find a husband. She has a thing about police officers, and she emailed her local police headquarters asking for details of "eligible bachelors within Hampshire constabulary between the ages of 35 and 49 and details of their email addresses, salary details and pension values".

Got to make sure you get your hands on the money, Angela.

Want to know why most high-earners are men? Because men work harder. Why? Because they know that their value in the marriage marketplace depends on how much they earn.

Don't believe me? Ask Angela."

Different sentences for similar crimes

Steven Brown writes "Spot the difference!

Story 1:


"A man who murdered his partner in front of her two daughters has been jailed for life..."

Story 2:


"A teenage girl who killed her fiancée after he admitted having sex with her friend on the night he died has been sentenced to eight years in custody."

Incredible..."

Women Want Another Pass

Tumescent writes "Some of the issues pointed out in this article are really over the top.

"Most imprisoned women, and relatively few imprisoned men, leave behind children for whom they were the sole primary caretaker. The separation can be shattering for mothers, who may lose parental rights, and for children, thousands of whom are placed in foster care at state expense."

Oh cry me a river. If these women were at all concerned about their children they wouldn't be out possessing and selling drugs or hanging out with those that do. To use the screwed up child custody laws to rationalize why they should not do the same time for the same crime is really amazing. It's hard to fathom how their position on this can be deemed anything be laughable."

What Chutzpuh!

Dittohd writes "World Net Daily reported on Robert Blake's acquittal but just couldn't hold back their misandry. Notice their last sentence of the article, "...(he) had been described by both sides in the case as a career con artist."

This is is same media outlet that cheered Clara Harris after killing her husband because he cheated on her and didn't correct "his" problem.

I'm presently trying to decide whether or stop my subscription to their Whistleblower magazine and request a refund for the rest of that subscription or just to not renew when the subscription expires.

What blatant bias! Absolutely disgusting!"

"Miss Savannah" Acquitted of Murder

The verdict is in. It's open-season not just on unfaithful husbands but boyfriends/fiances, too. Sort of reminds me of what NOW and the like complain about happening in Middle Eastern countries, only in this case, it's the males in danger of getting killed by the females, and it's happening here in the West.

As always, she claims she was being abused.

Data may help to explain sex differences

ArtflDgr writes "the text of the article can be found here.

The article details that 'researchers have found that the sexes differ more than we thought, particularly when it comes to the genes on one crucial chromosome.'


'Taken together, the two papers may eventually explain some of the behavioural and biological differences between individual women, and perhaps, between women and men.'

Of men, women, and money

bandersnatch writes "From US News:

Do men earn more money than women in comparable jobs with comparable responsibility? Most people seem to think so. During one of the presidential debates, John Kerry complained that full-time working men made a dollar for every 76 cents paid to women for the same work. President Bush didn't challenge the statement, and reporters let it go by as well. "The average woman is cheated out of about $250,000 in wages over a lifetime," said an article in Ms. Magazine. The AFL-CIO estimates that working families lose $200 billion of income annually to the male-female wage gap. Oh, really? The Census Bureau did find that women earned 76 cents for every dollar paid to a male (now up to 80 cents on the dollar), but that was a raw number, not adjusted for comparable jobs and responsibility. A new book, Why Men Earn More by Warren Farrell, goes further, examining a broad array of wage statistics. His conclusion: When reasonable adjustments are made, women earn just as much as men, and sometimes more.


Good to see the MSM (mainstream media) finally providing opposing viewpoints to such blatantly obvious feminist lies."

Peterson Sentenced to Death

Scott Peterson was sentenced to death today (March 16, 2005) for the murder of his pregnant wife, or as MSN is wont to put it, "his wife and their unborn child". Now had she gone and had an abortion, that would not have been anything wrong as far as the law was concerned, and Scott Peterson would have had no say in the matter either, depsite his being respoinsible for supporting the child. As to if *she* had murdered *him*, well, I doubt very much she would have received a death sentence. Remember this woman?

S.D. Supreme Court rules on prenuptial agreements

ArtflDgr writes "The whole article can be found here.

The supreme court in South Dakota ruled that a pre-nup can not limit alimony because it runs counter to state public policy.
However, the parts that deal with division of property can be enforced. IMHO this is just one more reason not to get married (out of the many out there). As I see it the whole thing is pushing towards a situation of either give up all your rights at the thresshold OR do not take the step at all. Bottom line is that one should not ever consider marriage anymore..."
