AngryMan writes "The BBC does it again. The evil Patriarchy has come up with another cunning way to harm women, and that's pregnancy discrimination.
"Around 30,000 women a year are sacked or made redundant or leave their jobs due to pregnancy discrimination, research suggests....many businesses do face genuine challenges in managing pregnancy"
What, you mean they can't afford to keep an employee on full salary for a year without doing any work, while the other employees (mainly men) have to do extra work to cover for them? How unreasonable."

New York City health officials are investigating the possibility that at least three boys have contracted herpes as a result of circumcision. One of the boys died.

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.

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."

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*"
