bandersnatch writes "From Running USA:

Under hazy skies, relative calm and temperatures in the mid-50s, the elite women took off 15 minutes and 50 seconds ahead of the elite men and the rest of the 25,000 plus entrants. The handicap differential was determined by past LA Marathon winning times and the relative strength of the elite fields (last year's, differential was 20:30).

After the race, Lyubov Denisova expressed disappointment in finishing third in The Challenge (46 seconds behind) and believed the 15:50 handicap favored the men. I'm confused and speechless. Confused as I thought whatever a man can do, a woman can do just as good or better. So why the need for a handicap, ladies? Speechless because I can't believe I just read a woman saying that a 15 minute handicap for the women runners favored the men."

Isn't there something better Norway's Prime Minister could target? *shakes head*"

bandersnatch writes "From USA Today, Boeing on Tuesday issued a brief notice to all employees that said "many employees" have questioned why the female executive remains with the company while Stonecipher was forced to resign. It's good to see individuals in the workplace (usual awash in femnazi HR policies) asking this exact question. After all, if it was violation of company ethics for Stonecipher to have an affair. How come it's not one for the female executive in question?"

It's been quite a while since we had a condescending talking down about the male pill by a woman, or a pseuedo-man lackey, so here's a new article. Of course, we all know the condescension is really a projection of fear onto the nearest man for being able to do what women have been doing for at least 2 generations, or longer if you consider keeping your fertility ambiguous is what a certain half of humanity use to sexually manipulate the other half of humanity? Yeah I think so. Even if the side effects are harsh, it would most likely reverse the sexual dynamics, and that alone would be worth it. And since we're at it, shall we take a few guesses at the scare mongering tactics we'll have to endure when our pill gets released?

Apparently one-child (ie, one-boy or -girl) families do not get the same consideration. Story here.

Tumescent writes "We've all probably heard about Harry Stonecipher, ex-CEO of Boeing. Now we finally hear about the other side of the equation here. It just goes to highlight once again that there is little upside and a great big downside in having an office romance no matter what level you are in the company. If you like your job, don't get romantically involved at work-- it doesn't matter if you are the CEO or not. Actually, according to the article, Stonecipher wasn't fired for the romance, but it led to violation of the company code of ethics. Probably deserved. Now let's see if the company code of ethics applies to the woman executive involved as well."

"The new look at the Australian everywoman" that "paints a picture of women as increasingly lonely and unhealthy."

Luek writes "Here is an article about a woman who claimed to have been brutally raped in a restroom to cover up underage public drunkenness and being in possession of alcohol. But later admitted she had lied. Big surprise huh? The upside: she will be charged with making a false crime report. The downside: she will probably not get any jail time, more likely mild probation. And all will probably have a big laugh over it.

More evidence that there is a urgent need to pass federal legislation to prosecute false rape allegations and add real prison time."

Marc A. writes "Peter Allemano of the NY chapter of NCFM just send out the following message that I'd like to convey:

"On page 10 of yesterday's (i.e., 3/6/05) Sunday Business section, THE NEW YORK TIMES published two letters in response to its 2/27/05 article about Warren Farrell. One is a standard-issue, ideological feminist screech about anti-female discrimination and harassment, submitted by Kathy Rodgers, President of Legal Momentum (formerly NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund), and the other is a highly condensed version of the letter I submitted. Although a "search" for both our names on the TIMES's Web site turns up the fact that our letters were published, the actual text of the letters is not available on line. So here's what the TIMES published of mine:"

Anonymous User writes "From This is London, Teachers are warned today that words such as "slag" and "slut" lead to boys feeling superior to girls and make domestic violence seem more acceptable. Boys should be challenged if they are heard directing such terms at girls. It is considered equally unacceptable for girls to aim such insults at one another. Teachers' leaders said such language is common in secondary schools and even among older children at primaries. Not surprisingly, there's no mention if what happens if a girl insults a guy for being a pervert, a horndog or a lech. I seriously doubt such behavior will be banned as well by the new rules."

Lifetime TV is planning to broadcast a one-hour “documentary” about domestic violence on April 4 titled “Terror at Home: Domestic Violence in America.” The Press Release which announces the film is attached at the end of this Alert.

Lifetime TV claims that it wants to stop domestic violence by involving men in its efforts, and is partnering with groups like ESPN. But then Lifetime TV turns around and produces a film about DV that completely ignores DV against men.

Somebody needs to ask Lifetime, “How can you say you are reaching out to men, and then turn around and pretend that men are never the victims of DV?”

In "Hoodwinked into fatherhood" Glenn Sacks and Jeff Leving discuss the highly-publicized 'Sperm Theft'/Men's Reproductive Rights case--see the article in the Houston Chronicle.

Tumescent writes "Everyone involved in this unseemly story is at fault, but once again the media portrays this in the headlines as an “affair”. An adult cannot have a sexual "affair" with an 11 year old boy or girl. The words "slept with" and "having sex" when applied to a child should not be used. Yes, they are just words, but "sexual assault" or "child rape" seems more appropriate. Also, the article seems to spend more time questioning the activities of the victim's father than on the alleged child rapist."
