Brian writes "When equal rights is reversed, it becomes a problem. They use the excuse of "tradition" for not allowing males admitted. Funny, was the same excuse thought of as archaic in conjunction with gold courses (Augusta) and the like that are male-only? Read here.

Ed. note: This could have gone under News, Education, or Inequality, it covers so much ground. But that's not uncommon for many stories on this site.

The_Beedle writes "So I'm reading through the local livejournal community for my city and come across an open invitation to attend a talk held by both a Womens Group and a Mens Group. September Feminist Culture Club Meeting So who the heck is NOMAS? Why haven't we heard about them before?

After taking a look at their website, they appear to be composed entirely of Womens Studies graduates, with a gay man and a hetero male apologist thrown in for good measure. Their stated goals are :

1. Pro-Feminist
2. Gay-Affirmative
3. Anti-Racist
4. Dedicated to Enhancing Men's Lives

#2 and #3 are all well and good. Why is #1 there at all, and why do men come in 4th place in an organization that sounds like it should be pro-Men?"

Ray writes "You could almost laugh along with Mr. Roberts at the rediculousness of this story here, but the reality is no laughing matter. The addled, Femi-babble language that defines the radical/gender feminist hate movement is at the core of women's studies programs on college campuses. What can the future hold for America when dumbing down ideology like the feminist agenda, with all of its misnomers and inane definitions, is sweeping through America's higher educational institutions and disallowing all: opposing viewpoints, dissenting opinions, objective criticism or constructive criticism. In California with the recent passage of Sheila Kuehl's SB 1234 we are one step closer to the concept in law of “anti-intellectual feminist harassment” (a form of sexual harassment) that threatens academic freedom and free speech as never before. Big sister is running amok in our society, and I for one am sick and tired of her gross intolerance, and downright hatred of all things male. Maybe the time has come to sue the gender feminist bigots for the hate speech they spew at males."

mens_issues writes "The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men (DAHM) needs your help! So far people have been generous enough to donate $805 towards roofing materials for the shelter (this is for the rebuilt second floor) before winter sets in. Without a roof it will be very difficult to keep snow, ice, and sleet from damaging the inside of this newly built apartment. This will be used to house male DV victims (and their children)when ready.

[Please post the rest under Read More/Add Comments]

Also the downstairs is ready for sheet rock and could be usable later this winter if there is a roof on the second floor. However, the total need is about $4,500. So, in order to raise more money, I'm willing to match donations from others up to $500.

Anonymous User writes "This research suggests that Boys play creates sensitive children, whereas girls talk creates less sensitive children. Feminism taught me it was the other way around. Here is the story."

Hunchback writes "This story of a bereaved single father mourning for his son, but grateful to be reunited with his daughters, is a direct consequence of the Michigan move-aways laws. The newspaper's coverage, while sympathetic, was bland compared to the reportage on this story here which in days past had the usual full spread pictures, etc."

CJ writes "A sentence that restricted a man's right to procreate was overturned by the Ohio Supreme Court. A lower court placed felony charges (jail) on a father who had children with multiple women if he fathered another child. This father was behind on child support for some of the children. It appears that this man has bad judgment, as any man should now understand that the US government (as mandated by decades of un-opposed feminist jurisprudence) has taken over the family unit. Soon enough we will see more rulings against a male's right to procreate while we see more hysteria about a woman's right to chose.

OK, I am posting this under 'Humor' only because you will of course laugh hysterically when you read it. However, this is a real story from the UK"s Guardian and I will presume it is accurate unless they issue a retraction for whatever reason.

How does it fit into Men's Rights activism? I am not sure. I think it does fit in somewhere though however. Just, I am not sure how. =)

I almost thought about adding this under Humor. Anyway, it seems that to the NY Times' Alesandra Stanley, "Desperate Housewives" is a terribly sexist, regressive TV show that never should have made it to TV. (She pans "Boston Legal", too, which apparently has William Shatner himself on it.)

Well, who knows. I must say I was surprised; I rather imagined a different kind of show being reviewed. But you know, why should it be too surprising? The pilot hasn't even aired yet so no one except media, industry insiders and select audiences have even seen it.

Hmm, maybe I *should* have posted this under "Humor" after all...

Unlike your tipycal misandrist DV organisation which does not even mention male DV victims, See It And uses gender neutral terms to describe abusers and victims. Unfortunately, their poster gallery and advertizing is very misandrist and one sided.

See It And Stop it advertizement to end DV appears constantly under the electronic version of The UNH newspaper. As most UNH students read the paper online, IT EFFECTS THE CLIMATE AT UNH VERY MUCH!

Contact them and tell them that by portraying men as only the abusers they show absolutely no compassion for male victims. Tell them that men will be far more likely to join them if they had at least one or two posters about boys who are abused. Given their well intent from the start they may listen."

The fun never stops. And things are hotting up quite a bit, since they're not too fond of folk like us apparently.
