Trudy W Schuett writes "Since March, the DesertLight Journal blog has been posting Friends to the End, the first-ever novel on domestic violence with a male victim. The book now appears in its entirety. It will stay up at the blog until October 1st, when it will be removed from the site.

The book will be replaced with a new campaign to promote full awareness of the issue of domestic violence. This campaign will be the simplest, and possibly the most effective so far. The way it will work is this: I’m asking everyone to track their local media and keep an eye out for stories on DV shelters and services that promote the well-known myths and bad statistics. Send me a link to these stories when they appear online, or in national media that I can access. I’ll post them on the DLJ blog, and contact the source with corrections whenever possible. I’ll be happy to credit each of you who submit links!

If you have a blog or website of your own, please feel free to post this announcement there, or pass it along to your friends however you like. On October 1st, I’ll post the most frequently-repeated misinformation for everyone’s reference, along with the reasons why the statements are wrong. Please don’t hesitate to use this information in making your own contacts.

If bloggers and new media can take down CBS, there isn’t any reason why we can’t make a dent in domestic violence services that serve no one, and exist primarily to promote divorce and misandry.

Please use this e-mail to submit your information: DVA2004 at desertlightjournal –dot-com
You can also send a postcard to: TW Schuett P.O. Box 1252 Yuma AZ 85366

Also, the DLJ will continue to provide the link for donations to DAHM."

Ray writes "This article Would You Help a Domestic Violence Shelter that Helps Men "...provides us with a means to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) by contributing to a neglected cause -- helping the male victims of violence." Thanks to Wendy McElroy for posting this information about the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men (DAHM) at her Ifeminist web site, and thanks to Mensactivism for helping the many male victims of domestic violence who have so often come to this site for help."

Marc writes "The Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journals (the largest daily legal newspapers in the U.S.) just printed an expanded op-ed by Glenn Sacks on the frequency of false accusations of rape and how the media, victims' advocates and prosecutors neglect the problem, in light of the Kobe Bryant events. The Daily Journal has no link for non-subscribers, but the article was re-printed at Michnews.com here at this link The data cited can be helpful for advocates to raise awareness about this problem that, like male victims of DV, is severely neglected and covered-up because of gender feminist politics."

Anonymous User writes "You should read Anna Weiss's manhating gendercidal rant about men being useless here. You can also submit a comment below the article. Also you should send a letter to the editor of the Cornwell Daily Sun here. They think that men are perfect target for unlimited abuse. Flood them with letters! Show them that we are not their whipping boys! Also as it is the newspaper for the university we can sue them for hate speech to get Weiss and editors in trouble."

I wanted to bring you up-to-date on what has been happening in Syracuse regarding our efforts to get a meeting between Senator Clinton and parents. I will be returning to the outside of the Syracuse Federal Building at 9am on Tuesday, Sep 21st, and my trial (open to the public) is scheduled to start in Federal Court at 10 am.



It would be nice to see a few of you there and have a chance to talk before the time for Trial. If you are new to the group or need more background, you will find a complete history at:

CJ writes "MSN is so casual and blatant in publishing astonishingly misandric articles. Here is a “love advice” columnist whose credentials read as follows: Womanly Arts and Mama Gena's Guide To Owning And Operating Men. Her advice in this particular piece tells women to “Join the ranks of the brilliant man-trainers of the world: Women who use men to fulfill their dreams and desires!”...and… “guys on their own recognizance won’t necessarily aim very high. A beer and a channel-changer is about enough excitement for them” The problem with this form of casual misandry is that the same type of article with the genders reversed would not be published as it would be highly offensive to women. Let's write MSN to tell them what the "man-trainer" can do with her advice...

AngryMan writes "Britain's biggest-selling newspaper 'The Sun', publishes a topless photo on page 3 every day. This article

traces the history of this phenomenon, and the efforts of feminists to stop it. It's interesting to hear the models themselves defending their choices. I accept the argument that nude girls are not news, but it's difficult to accept the feminist whining about them being exploited - look how much money they earn! This kind of censorship is really about policing male sexuality, and attempting to manage the sexual market-place by controlling the supply-side."

Saw an ad for it today on the side of a bus and just knew what to expect... my suspicions well-confirmed. The show's pilot plot is discussed here. Look for plenty of husband-murdering and complaining about all the things mom isn't getting, aside from the house, car, lack of job responsibilities, etc.

What's "funny" is that the concept authors, etc., all seem to be men - or at least the ones they talk about on the site. Sad but predictable.

I am sure it'll get high ratings.

All,

Those who live in Virginia, especially those whose House rep. is Jim Moran, will be interested to know Mr. Moran is sponsoring a women's issues conference for Sept. 18, 2004. Info found here. Please contact Mr. Moran's office by using his site feedback form here asking for equal time for men.

J writes "Hi,

I spare you the details, but when my wife levied false allegations of domestic violence in Nov 03, the last thought on my mind was to attack the lies and twisted references to truth. I was too focused on saving my marriage, living on the hope of reconciliation for our children, 4, 5 and 11. Now she's filed for divorce and 100% legal and physical custody. She denies: (1) her psychosis (e.g. seeing demons leap from one person to another, putting oils on the heads of our children who she fears might be possessed -- REAL Andrea Yates stuff, (2) her perjuring herself numerous times in her written declaration to the court and to the court appointed 730 evaluator, and (3) her moving her lesbian lover in when she moved me out. The problem is, with women, it seems allegation carries the day, and all the documented evidence in the world will do a man no good. I have an attorney (just recently fired one for not fighting), but in the 9 months I've been battling this I've lost my house, the kids and over $20,000. I love my little ones. Any suggestions???

Hombre - We get a lot of submissions here asking for assistance for troubled fathers, so any large organizations that any of you know of which can offer real help to men in these situations will be appreciated by many readers.

bandersnatch writes "In this article, feminist Germaine Greer recently was quoted saying that "the high rate of divorce should be celebrated as the major sign of progress in the feminist movement." What ever happened to trying work things out first?"

Proving once again that the phenomenon of women-are-innocent-even-when-proven-guilty spans the globe, this from Australia. She is found guilty yet sentenced to only four months in jail for doing what would have landed a man in jail for *years* had the genders been reversed.

AngryMan writes "The trial has been delayed because the stalker attempted suicide and then blamed Zeta-Jones for driving her to it. You can't help pitying the woman. The latest tawdry episode is here.
