Canadian Feminazis Shock Plan To Jail Men For Questioning Feminism - by Steven Stevenson"

AngryMan writes "Two nuns in Tunja took turns in shooting a burglar as he lay motionless. They were acquitted of murder on the grounds of self-defence. Story Here"

mens_issues writes "I got rather annoyed when reading about how John Kerry felt he had to deprecate men in order to pander to the women's voting bloc. He predictably throws in the old canard about the "wage gap" as well. I'm voting for Badnarik for President anyway (and Libertarian for the U. S. Congressional races as well). The CNN article is here (originally in Reuters):

The Washington Times reports here on another step by the Pentagon to move women closer to direct combat roles.

AngryMan writes "This article is an unusual ray of optimism, showing what can be done to improve boys' educational performance. In short: stop treating them like girls."

Steven Brown writes "A truly terrifying turn of events here. All pregnant women in Britain, will in future be asked if their husbands (or boyfriends I guess) are beating them! Words fail me...

robrob writes "A female prison officer has successfully argued that it is sexual discrimination against her that she has to strip-search male inmates. Of course, female inmates enjoy the privilege of only being strip searched by female officers. She, the employment tribunal and the BBC seem oblivious to the double standard. Men can be strip-searched by men or women, women can be strip-searched by women only. The female officers that strip-search the men are discriminated against. Mind boggling......read it here."

AngryMan writes "Russia has 2-years compulsory military service for all men (none for women!) However, the army is crippled by a culture of bullying which causes widespread misery, has led to suicides, and reduces combat effectiveness. I wonder if other armies are so different. This is another issue to consider when talking about the draft. Article here"

AngryMan writes "Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof speaks out in defence of marriage, the traditional family, and father's rights. Interestingly this article is on the Women's page! After all, where else should a story about parenting go? Here is a much better commentary by journalist Melanie Phillips."

Trudy W Schuett writes "The two major urban legends related to Domestic Violence -- "95% of victims are women" and "a woman is battered every 15 (9 or 6) seconds" have been debunked and laid to rest at the DLJ. Please feel free to pass this info along to anyone you care to inform!

Ray writes "Here is an upcoming TV show here Series: The Most Extreme, Episode: Battle of the Sexes,

"It's all about who's in control and the males and females of the animal kingdom will use size, speed, strength, and brains to come out on top. Find out which gender will rule the roost in this epic battle of the sexes."

Oct 19, 2004 @12:00 AM on The Animal Planet. Other times and date are listed too so check your local listings.

IMHO, Gender can be a modern social construction to the degree that homo sapiens have the ability to intelligently manipulate their role in their environment and still survive as a speices.

Beyond that I see gender purely as a construction of nature/evolution with the intent of survival of the species as the ultimate goal of the "constructed genders."

Given how gender is being legislated by lawmakers like Sheila Kuehl, and others, to suit gender feminist ideology here , this episode of the The Most Extreme looked interesting."

Cathy Young has published this brief analysis of the case for joint parental custody after divorce. She's presented some references, though not specific citations, and debunked the feminist distortion of the 1989 Gender Bias Study of the Massachusetts SJC.

This good read was published in the Boston Globe.

Lords & Ladies,

Recently, someone on the Mensactivism site enquired as to what was the difference between provisional chapters of NCFM and regular chapters. Also, there was some question as to how to start a chapter. As Vice President of NCFM, it is my responsibility (among other things) to assist with chapter development. The following is a brief excerpt from a 12 page pamphlet that Tom Williamson and I wrote years ago to assist with chapter development. I have not included comments on how to go from provisional to official since that takes place over a year after establishing the chapter. Hope this helps.

Please see "Read More" for details.

Ed writes "Columnist Suzanne Fields has just unleashed another attack on men, "A Long Way from Kabul, Baby," which recently ran in the Washington Times. How's this for enlightened political commentary:

'Many Afghan men fear that the presidential election marks the loosening of their traditional power and control over their women, and we can rejoice that they're probably right. Warlords and tribal elders are particularly threatened.'
