The ignorance leading to this attack is truly astonishing. I don't know what else to say.

Ahh, MSN at it again with this. Were the sexes/roles reversed, who doubts that in that case a female partner to the famous one would not be touted as "empowered" or something else. Instead, in this case, he is called "controlling".

Quotes:

'Two young women charged with the fatal stabbing of a 19-year-old woman were denied bail a second time. They stabbed the victim several times in the throat and stomach with broken beer bottles and steak knives. The confrontation apparently stemmed from an argument over a boyfriend. In MA, judges routinely deny men bail on simple charges alone if related to DV - it is rare for women to get denied bail unless the case is extreme like this one.'"

Despite one of the contestant's suicide, the show nonetheless will be aired.

Anonymous User writes "The presidents of MIT, Princeton, and Stanford have written an opinion column about "women in math, engineering, and science." What about all those female math and science teachers and all those nursing science majors? Well, the column is really about women holding elite research positions in math, engineering, and science at places like MIT, Princeton, and Stanford. Few women hold those positions. And this is a HUGE problem, or so these university presidents argue. If you have any young children, see if even they can spot the emptiness of the university presidents' "reasoning". Then teach your children to fight against real, major injustices."

Tumescent writes "The latest Newsweek cover is The Myth of the Perfect Mother.

What does this story have to do with men? To me it highlights that in many ways, women have more choices than men. The choice to have children, the choice to work or stay at home, the choice to work part time or full time, the choice to go back to school or not. Men with children rarely have these sorts of options. Ultimately, the article highlights that women who "choose" to have it all rarely end up obtaining their unrealistic dreams. Meanwhile, the men in these women's lives are left to go to work to bring home the bacon that allow these women to eventually "find themselves". Something about the article really bothered me. Being a mother, holding a job, and being a wife is hard----but women need to stop bitching about it."

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."

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."

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."

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.

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!"

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?"
