May justice have mercy on your maleness."

Benjamin Adam Studtmann writes "Here is yet another story in which a mother takes matters into her own hands to teach someone a lesson in 'respect'. In this case, the woman in question did it with a long length of steel pipe, leaving six people injured. The reason? Her teenage son was asked to leave a party that he gate-crashed. When, exactly, did liberation and empowerment just melt right into psychotic sociopathy?"

CJ writes "It is unfortunate when anyone loses a life due to violence - whether inflicted by a male or female. Here is a case where a couple went fishing, the wife became angry, went home, and threw her husbands belongings out on the lawn of their apartment complex. After he arrived home, he began laughing at her, and she ran him over five times with her mini-van.

Kyo writes "Former Mets and Yankees pitcher Dwight Gooden and his wife are divorcing, and despite the fact that they *as a couple* have shown themselves unable to manage their assets, the judge seems to be setting his ex-wife up nicely, forcing Dwight to turn over close to 60% of his current salary as a Yankees advisor to her. It's not going to get any easier for Dwight to pay his wife $5,929 per month, is it?

This item from a recent Penn State newsletter mentions some "research" that has been done by the university regarding the "problem" of there being more men than women in the information technology field (of course, there is no "problem" that there are less men than women in the education field).



"Because only one in four IT jobs belongs to a woman, the researchers questioned how the combination of an Old Boys' Network and the male-dominated IT workplace affected women."



The conclusion of the "study" is that companies need to provide special social networking opportunities for women to solve this "problem".

Anonymous User writes "The New York Times is such a s****y and biased paper. Here is a clearly biased article on move-aways. It belongs in the editorial section, not the news section. Nary a word is offered to point out that non-custodial dads are almost always just as good or better parents as their female counterparts. Thus, switching primary custody to the dad in case the mom moves away should most often be a clear and healthy alternative to allowing mom to uproot the child and move away."

Davie_boy writes "This article in a Salt Lake City newspaper left me fuming.

Apparently, women just don't commit acts of domestic violence. This article speaks volumes about the media bias against men. I just wonder how, as Searle suggests at the end of the article, men are supposed to stop domestic violence when people are turning a blind eye to 1/2 of the problem. It's unfortunate that what will probably happen as DV advocates try to educate the public and local ecclesiastical leaders on the issue is that it will always be from a "woman is victim" position. Sadly, I think this approach will only add fuel to the fire."

Vili Fualaau, the 21 year-old boy statutorily raped by Mary Kay Letourneau when he was 12 years old, was interviewed by Matt Lauer: here . He states that she destroyed his ability to have relationships with women close to his age. He has been emotionally troubled. He was unable to finish high school. There were two children, the first born when he was 13. Sadly, Vili is now asking to reestablish contact with Letourneau."

Another link and more commentary below.

It's hard to fault the jury in this case. After all, they weren't allowed to hear the testimony of those who had formerly been abused and injured in Dianne Scribner's care. Also, it appears from the article, (though it isn't entirely clear), that judge Timothy McManus didn't allow the prosecution to mention that this is the second time a child has died while in her care. Everything seems to be business as usual here, Mr. Scribner was the first prime suspect in spite of a rock solid alibi, the Star Tribune publishes the story with a very sympathetic tone for Mrs. Scribner, community members show her lots of support, and we can only hope that next time her history of abusing and murdering children is found admissable.

mens_issues writes "It occurred to me this week (Primaries) that the men's movement
might be able to form a Men's Political Action Committee (MPAC?)
along the lines of the Leauge of Women Voters and Emily's list.
What if the NCFM were to team up with, say, the fledgling League of
Men Voters to form such a MPAC. We could contact various political
parties (Republican, Democrat, Reform, Green, Libertarian and
Constitution) with a list of men's issues questions for their
candidates."
