Restraining Orders

Gordon Hillesland writes "An Oregon State Representative is requesting two bills be written for this session of the legislature. One will put due process into the issuance of a restraining order. The other bill will prohibit the awarding of real or personal property to a person who has no financial interest in the property. Would anyone who is interested in writing letters or testifying before the committee, after the bills are written, especially Oregonians, please contact me. Thank you."

Circumcision addressed in stage show questionnaire

Acksiom writes "The website for Richard Herring's stage show 'Talking Cock' has a questionnaire page, which praiseworthily addresses circumcision, or less euphemistically, routine and ritual male genital amputation.

Go to http://www.talkingcock.co.uk/ , "Questionnaire" link at top left.

There's also a questionnaire for women, about which my female intactivist contact who sent me the link said:

"One of the questions on mine was if I ever wished I had a penis or envied men for having a penis...I brought circ up too, and said no...I was happy with my genitals and my sexuality and capacity for pleasure...and I was darn glad to live in a country where my genital integrity was protected, and nobody could cut anything off of me for social, cultural or religious reasons...and that men deserved the same respect and protection."

Let's tell him how we feel too -- it's incredibly rare for anyone to ask about how feel about having been sexually mutilated, and that asking should be encouraged with responses."

Misandrist Domestic Violence legal decision

Ray Blumhorst writes "A man who had his leg knocked out from under him in an act of domestic violence committed by a woman, doesn't have "standing" to sue for shelter services for men.

"What a strange (and cruel) irony in the use of that word (standing) from the English language," says Ray Blumhorst."

Suicide TV boxer KOd by Reality

ArtflDgr writes "The full text can be found here.

In today's NY Daily News there is a piece about a Boxer that appeared on the new reality boxing show "The Contender". He didn't meet the cut and committed suicide on Valentine's day in front of his girlfriend's house.

The article is almost a full page and after it points out that EVERYONE around him said the show was not the issue they keep trying to make the new show the issue. Even with the following quote they don't stop.

Growing Apart From Dad Makes Teens Sad

Garth writes "A recent study of roughly 900 teenagers suggests that growing apart from Dad makes children more prone to depression. The same link was not found when boys and girls grew apart from their mother. Maybe we should reverse the standard custody practises?"

After being accused of gender discrimination, the University of California has reversed an earlier decision to reject a lower-division English course called "Literature By and About Men."




I bet the feminists are fuming over this university's decision!"

Stop bogus restraining orders in Massachusetts

Kingsley G. Morse Jr. writes "A new Massachusetts law would put global positioning systems on people with restraining orders. Now that the law is being reviewed, isn't it a good time to ask lawmakers to fix the notorious problem of bogus restraining orders?"

California Default Judgements

Adam G. Alsop writes "I happened to come across your article on Taron James' Paternity Fraud case and thought that this link should be widely spread, as is speaks *directly* to the heart of that (and many similar cases).

In this appeal, the Court is VERY clear about the "wording" of the Law vs the "intent" of the law:

"The County, a political embodiment of its citizens and inhabitants, must always act in the public interest and for the general good. It should not enforce child support judgments it knows to be unfounded. And in particular, it should not ask the courts to assist it in doing so. Despite the Legislature’s clear directive that child support agencies not pursue mistaken child support actions, the County persists in asking that we do so. We will not sully our hands by participating in an unjust, and factually unfounded, result. We say no to the County, and we reverse."

This is a MAJOR victory for all those falsely accused of paternity and hit with a default judgement. While I am not in a similar position, I felt it important to pass along this information to you and your readers. Hopefully it will help set a standard across other states as well."

Fred on Maureen (and the Sisterhood)

Philalethes writes "Fred Reed's latest column does it again:

'Maureen [Dowd] is the resentment columnist for the New York Times. ... In a recent column, headed "Men Just Want Mommy," ... we have the eternal cry (at least it’s beginning to feel eternal) of the unhappy feminist: "The whole world can’t stand me. What’s wrong with the whole world?" ... Actually, what men very much do not want is to marry Mommy. The problem for Maureen is that she is Mommy: censorious, moralizing, self-pitying, endlessly instructive, and so achingly tedious that men find themselves thinking of moldy bath sponges.'

Actually, it's all pretty depressing, but it's good to get a laugh out of it now and then; thanks, Fred."

RADAR Alert: Men's Resource Center Abuses Men with False Stereotypes

On Monday February 14, the Men’s Resource Center of Western Massachusetts is running a Valentine’s Day advertisement (see below) which states, “Women are entitled to live their lives free of fear of abuse and violence.”

The ad conveniently forgets to mention that women are just as likely as men to commit domestic violence. Indeed, the advertisement promotes the worst stereotypes about the so-called “masculine culture of violence.”

Carl Fiorina? He'd Probably Be Out of Work, Too

bandersnatch writes "From The New York Times, THE question was bound to come up: If Carleton S. Fiorina were a man, would the outcome of her turbulent tenure as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard have been different?
Most management specialists say no. They contend that the company's misguided Compaq acquisition and sluggish performance would have taken down any chief executive, of either sex. And many note that Hewlett-Packard has tried hard to avoid any taint of sex discrimination; one woman, Ann M. Livermore, a respected Hewlett executive, is a possible candidate to replace Ms. Fiorina, and another, Patricia C. Dunn, is the nonexecutive chairwoman of Hewlett's board. As usual, feminists are spreading their doom and gloom message equating Carly's firing as a major setback for women."
