On January 28, 1993, domestic violence advocates threw the long bomb, which in turn set up the winning touchdown.

The long bomb, of course, was the infamous press conference, held three days before the Super Bowl, which claimed that domestic violence increased 40% after men watched professional football games. And the winning touchdown was passage of the first Violence Against Women Act in 1994.

chicago joe writes "The makers of "Degree for Men" deodorant are launching a new ad campaign for their product during the second quarter of the Super Bowl game.
The commercial is titled "Mama's boy" and it stars action figures that will be sold on the internet. The other commercials to follow will feature the "Wuss" and the "Suck up". The company will eventually sell the dolls seen in the commercials through the internet after the initial Super Bowl spot. They will be titled the "In-Action Heroes" because a company spokesperson said, "Their determination is to avoid risk and remain inactive". They claim this is supposed to motivate men to take risks. Give me a break! Of course they think it is quite creative and funny.
If you Google "Degree for Men", you can read it for yourselves. Look for the link that says "New Degree(R) for Men begins blitz"."

But the silver lining is that we're starting to make progress in removing these misandric ads, althought there's still a way to go. And Mensactivism.org and StandYourGround.com were mentioned in this article as well! Everyone who sent notice of misandric ads to this site can be proud.

This has to be one of the best Op/Eds I've ever read. Paul Robbins finds the head of the nail and hammers it over and over....

I think he just became one of my favorite writers. Don't miss this."

From the "males are dangerous and must be strictly controlled" files, this story demonstrates once more the excesses of modern misandric cultures. Yes, someone actually called the police. Yes, they're actually being charged. Yes, with a felony. I'm speechless.

Anonymous User writes "The BBC is still at it. In the Company of Women tells us how more women than ever are starting their own businesses to get away from Old Boy" style networking and the "wage gap". Interestingly, these women somehow have set up "women-only support networks". These are obviously different to the male only equivalents which are unacceptable. The women also feel that there are not enough women in the high paying industries like law, finance and IT. They don't feel that women should be represented in higher numbers amongst our road cleaners and firefighters though.

Finally, they are staggered that the "wage gap" is so high - suggesting that they really have no idea what that phrase means, and how untrue it is."

bandersnatch writes "From Yahoo! News:

Female interrogators tried to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay by sexual touching, wearing a miniskirt and thong underwear and in one case smearing a Saudi man's face with fake menstrual blood, according to an insider's written account.

bandersnatch writes "From WFIE News A 16-year-old Milan, Illinois girl has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of another teenager.
Sarah Kolb is accused of killing and dismembering 16-year-old Andrianne Reynolds of East Moline, who was reported missing by her father last Friday after she failed to show up for work.
According to court records, Kolb, who has been charged as an adult, allegedly strangled Reynolds and struck her with a piece of wood. Her dismembered body was found last night in Black Hawk State Park in Rock Island. Remember, sixteen year old girls are only made with sugar, spice and everything nice. *rolls eyes*"

Thomas Jefferson writes "Mathew Scott Thornberry, through his father, Ryan Thornberry, has filed a lawsuit against Pittsylvania County School Superintendent James E. McDaniel, Twin Springs principal Emma Austin and Twin Springs assistant principal Jenny Eaton seeking a $200,000 judgment for damages suffered as a result of being forced to wear red fingernail polish, lipstick and a bow in his hair on Jan. 23, 2004, according to the lawsuit.

It makes you wonder just why they are only suing for $200,000 for such a terrible incident of abuse. The Virginia state police need to arrest the school officials and teachers involved and be locked away in the pokey for this."

Hi everyone,

Well tonight I found out tonight that HB 2294 (in Virginia) is going to come up for a vote in the next few days. We need to urge the committee members to vote for this bill.

Ed. note: You do not need to be a Virginia resident to communicate your support of this bill to the VA Assembly. It is important they know that others out of state are watching their actions, and that this is a national-level issue of concern to people all over the country.
