bandersnatch writes "From the official website:

In the summer of 2004, Debbie Lafave, a 23 year old schoolteacher from Florida, was arrested for allegedly having numerous sexual encounters with her 14 year old 8th grade student. She has pleaded “not guilty” by reason of insanity; her trial is set for April 2005.
Months after the tragedy, Owen Lafave, her husband of less than one year, wants answers. He has teamed up with a documentary crew to narrate and explore the truth and reasons behind the rise in cases of child molestation by teachers in our schools.
“After School” is a disturbing look at a plague affecting our families and, more importantly, our children."

bandersnatch writes "From News.Com.Au, Two teenage girls who kicked and stamped to death a drunk middle-aged man who they said made "inappropriate sexual advances" at a party were jailed for life today.
Maxine Breakspear, 19, and Rochelle Etherington, 18, were found guilty at the Old Bailey in December of the murder of 42-year-old James Dalrymple from Northern Ireland."

bandersnatch writes From "Local 6:

'At 5-foot-9, 140 pounds, 25-year-old Beate Faanis cut a stunning figure as a University of Central Florida golfer, and she quickly caught the eye of fellow golfer Trason Brooks. They would date off and on over 18 months, but after their last break-up things turned downright bizarre. The first sign of trouble came August 8, when Brooks was arrested while working at the Stoneybrook East golf club and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated stalking.'

This story is absolutely unreal -- read it and see how one false accusation from a vindictive woman can ruin a man's life."

frank h writes "The title says "Detainees Accuse Female Interrogators" and the subtext is "Pentagon inquiry confirms sexual tactics." While I have little sympathy for these terrorists, why am I not surprised at the behavior of the women? Read the story here."

Ed note: Same story appears on page 1 of the Feb. 10, 2005 Washington Post here.

From the Australian Herald Sun, a Member of Parliament in Australia has publicly taken up C/S reform and anti-male discrimination, as reported in this article. This is good news!

Linucs writes "This is just incredible: "BOISE, Idaho - A 16-year-old girl was allegedly tied up and scalped with a 4-inch knife in what police say may have been an act of revenge by another woman." - "The motive, as near as we've been told by witnesses, was retaliation for acting in a way that the adult perceived as being offensive to women as a gender," Braddock said. "According to their creed, if you disrespect women you are not allowed to wear a mohawk."

Offensive to women "as a gender." Get it?"

bandersnatch writes "From Newsday, A 16-year-old girl was allegedly tied up and scalped with a 4-inch knife in what police say may have been an act of revenge by another woman. "When I say this gal was scalped, she was truly scalped," said Chief Deputy Bill Braddock. "The top of her head, her hair, was completely cut off.""

Carey Roberts writes:" On Friday, February 4, the American Heart Association will be celebrating its “National Wear Red Day.” And for the second year in a row, the AHA is breaking the hearts of men – see excerpt from my column below. I’m listing their contact information, so you can complain. I don’t think men’s hearts or lives should count for less.

Men Feeling Blue on February the Fourth

Two national health organizations are teaming up in an Orwellian effort to pander to women and mislead the American public about the threat of heart disease.....

Stephen Baskerville, president of ACFC, had this article discussing pro-family legislative initiatives in Virginia, published in the Washington Times. Way to go, Stephen!

In recent years domestic violence advocates have attempted to hijack Valentine’s Day, and turn a day devoted to love into a day consumed by fear. Julie Muhlstein's January 23 article in the Everett (Washington) Herald is a perfect example. Her article, "The Dark Side of Love" is filled with distortions and sensationalistic journalism.

The article implies that Valentine's Day is a particularly dangerous time for women. That's false! An Indiana University study recently found that Valentine's Day is the one holiday when violence decreases.

What makes this story worth noting is that each complaint that women have in Iran can be turned around and applied to the plight of men here in the US and the other Western countries.

For instance:


Yakin said in too many cases the tables were turned against women who filed suits, particularly after domestic violence.


"Those seeking redress are condemned as the guilty ones,

Sounds like S.O.P. when police go to a domestic violence call, especially in backward misandric places like Massachusetts!"

bandersnatch writes "From WebMD, Western men have a much more distorted view of their own bodies than men in Taiwan, according to a new study.
Researchers say the findings suggest that there's an East-West divide in terms of male body image, which may explain why body image disorders, such as muscle dysmorphia, and anabolic steroid use are major problems in western societies yet rarely seen in Asia."

bandersnatch writes "From The Age:

Anger management has traditionally been seen as a male domain, but a number of courses cater to females, writes Caroline Illingworth.
In her mums' group in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs, Angie Perugini is known as the happy, laughing one, the one who "always gets things done". Yet a few months ago, her bubbly facade belied the fact that, inside, she was seething with rage.
As a former chef, Perugini, 32, had been used to stressful environments, but it was only when she became a mother for the second time and found herself at home caring for two young sons that the bubble of calmness slowly began to burst. Best quote ever -- "After going to anger management I realised it wasn't my husband's fault, it wasn't the house, or the kids, it was all those years of not being shown how to deal with life properly, of not being able to express myself.""

CJ writes "As the New England Patriots became the 2nd team to win three Super Bowls in four-year span, the world was entertained yet again with another attack on men's genitals in the most highly viewed commercial sequence of the game. The first set of TV commercials after game play by FedEx Kinko commenced with Burt Reynolds getting kicked in the groin by a Grizzly Bear with the word “Groin Kick” illuminated across the screen for the world to ponder upon. Last year, in the first television advertisement sequence after game-play the TV viewers were treated with a man instructing his dog to attack another man’s genitals so he could steal his beer. Please use this link to let the advertisers know that sexual assault is not entertainment. The fact that this has become a recurring theme indicates that serious efforts have been implemented for groin attacks to be the first thing for people to see during the most watched game in the US.

MANN administrators received an e-mail announcing the release of a film on DVD entitled "Baby's Momma Drama", produced by Theodore Miller and directed by Douglas Green. Visit the website here.

I predict that this movie will make a splash. Congratulations to cast and crew!

Remarkable, this from the Post! It isn't mean-spirited, hostile, or openly misandrist! Amazing!

Some from the article:

"Men are very confused today about what it means to be a man," said Burke Community Church senior pastor Jack Elwood. "While women are encouraged to be all you can be, men don't know what they want to be. . . . Are they supposed to be a helper or a leader?"

Men's ministries "help men come up with a vision . . . that's bigger than just get a paycheck, go through life, get married, have kids and die," Elwood said. "A lot of men . . . wake up in their forties and say, 'Is this all there is?' I've been ministering to men for 30 years. . . . This is more and more evident to me as a pastor."
