DemandingJustice writes "Sorry if this isn't the right place for this request, but I looked all over and couldn't find any other way to submit it.
I'm writing a lengthy article to rebut The Washington Post's recent articles on "murdered mothers", and am trying to find a particular quote that I had stored away some years ago, but (of course!) cannot find now that I need it. I'm hoping that a MANN reader might be able to help me.
The quote is by a woman, I believe a university professor from New England (or at least the northeast). In it, she says *something* like: "Feminism has done more damage than any other movement in history and most of this damage is irreversible [or maybe "permanent"].
PLEASE, I've spent the past 4 hours looking for it on my PC and on the web ... does ANYBODY remember seeing this statement anywhere?
THANKS!"

mens_issues writes "The newly arrived January 2005 issue of the National Geographic has the following text on page 89 "The women of Anefgou mourn the death of one of their own, from old age. Tied to the countryside by tradition and lack of education, women "do the heavy lifting," says GEOGRAPHIC researcher Marisa Larson, who served this region as a Peace Corps volunteer. Women plow the fields and raise the children while their men increasingly toil in the cities."

Linucs writes "Will it ever stop? From the Guardian: "The law puts anti-gay and sexist comments on an equal footing with racist or anti-semitic insults, allowing French courts to hand down fines of up to €45,000 (£30,000) and jail sentences of up to 12 months for "defamation or incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence on the grounds of a person's sex or sexual orientation"." Aside from saying goodbye to free speech, I cannot help but wonder: what is a "sexist comment" for the Law? "The feminist group Les Chiennes de Garde, or Guard Bitches, added that it hoped the law would lead to a fall in the number of physical attacks on women "by first outlawing verbal violence"." No, this will not outlaw anti-men advertisement and media bias, but thanks for asking. Maybe we could outlaw any form of speech for men, so everybody would just climb trees, eat fruit and get along? Oog oog!"

The AP and the are reporting BBC the death of Susan Sontag, among other news providers (see stories: AP and BBC). However they failed to make note of Ms. Sontag's feminism or her pinning the responsibility for 9/11 on the US. Contrast the BBC's report with this writing, originally appearing on the IWF web site.

Ross Parent writes "Lydia Lovric of the Winnipeg Sun, has penned the most honest, hard-hitting, truthful essay about the equality scam that I've seen since Donna Laframbious left the National Post. You really must read this to believe it. I hope she still has a job. Check it out soon, as I don't know how long it will be accessible. A quick note to the Winnipeg Sun and Miss Lovric would be great."

Ric writes "Sydney's leading daily newspaper has just run another story about domestic violence and you guessed it - no mention of violence against men or against children. RespectYourMan has set up a protest page with sample email to send to the columnist - Piers Akerman. This is the third DV article along these lines in this newspaper in the last 12 months. Enough!

Linucs writes "According to the Oregon Daily Emerald, the 'Vagina Monologues' drew protests. What kind of protests? Get this: 'In flyers handed out to audience members at the show, University graduate Nicole Sangsuree Barrett wrote that while there was `diversity` in the show, it was minimal. Women of `a variety of skin colors, body sizes, abilities and gender expressions were not adequately represented,` she said. Maybe women are underrepresented in this diverse, multicultural, inclusive process, which will lead to dialogue and facilitates emancipation from the patriarchy-made race-based stereotypes that may hurt sensitive and oppressed women.'
At last, I see the light..."

Anonymous User writes "Last year, more than 3,000 DNA paternity tests were commissioned by Australian men, and in almost a quarter of those cases, the test revealed that not only had their partners been unfaithful, but the children they thought were theirs had been sired by someone else. The Supreme Court in Victoria is scheduled to hear an appeal from a woman who was successfully sued by her ex-husband for paternity fraud. This report examines the ramifications of this landmark case. Meanwhile, in Germany, father's rights groups in Germany are fighting to retain their right to have secret paternity tests without a mother's permission. They say it is the only way to combat paternity fraud.
