Mangesh writes "And the debate lineup is 1. Mallika Sarabhai - actor and activist. She accuses Summers of jingoism, chauvinism, and patriarchial attitude. 2. Vikas Singh - Assistant Editor - Times of India. He cites academic research - most of it done by women - confirming that on average, men are better at spatial skills, women at verbal skills. He also attacks the political correctness in academic research. Read them here:

Contrast the information in this article with what is found here. When it comes to paternity fraud, there are no national boundaries!

mens_issues writes "The New York Times reports that men are becoming the target of the gender sneer. 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.

Clint O writes "I have ?'s and a story. My questions are about the legalities of owning and possessing (female cosmetic) products made from human foreskin. MTV's REALITY TV series "Rich Girls" shows Ally Hilfiger telling her friend, a teenage boy, how her mom's (or step-mom's?) product (some sort of facial product I think) is made from little boys' foreskins. The boy says "What do they do just collect all the foreskins from the little boys getting circumcised?". And it goes on. I think the series still airs on Tuesday nights. Of course I want something and everything done about this. The episode should be pulled, these products should b outlawed and Mrs. Hilfiger should be ashamed at least. Beyond the legal questions, what can I, we do about this particular show and these products? Thanks for this site."

Ed. Note: MANN readers, please post information that may be helpful on this topic, and feel free to add commentary about this particular episode of this particular TV show if you saw it.

Dr. Dan writes "Progressive Insurance is thumbing its nose at us on TV again. A woman interrupts her husband while he’s watching football. He sheepishly takes the phone she’s shoving at him, because he didn’t bother to search hard enough for the best insurance deal. They make sure this male-stereotype incarnate has a facial expression making it plain that he’s a doofus. The commercial is entitled, “Bad Call.”

Progressive will keep up with this crap until it costs them big money."
