Mary Kay Letourneau Update

Anonymous User writes "Mary Kay, the teacher who had sex (or as the Post calls it "forbidden love affair") with her 12-year old male student is about to be released from jail. In this article by the New York Post, they speak of her letters that she has recently written to her victim. In these crazy and sometimes angry letters she brags about: having sex with a 23 year old prison guard,flirting with a lesbian, and she tells of how "People pay big money for my autograph now" article here"



And in related news Thundercloud writes "Just to show that the whole fad of female pedophiles is not only on the rise but has gained acceptance in western culture, I submit to you the up coming TV show "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES", When this show airs this fall we will be treated to yet another relationship between an older woman and an under aged teenage boy. I am not sure how old the woman is supposed to be. I think she is in her late 30s, and the boy is supposed to be 16. Although the actor portraying the boy is 18 or 19. Which, of course, isn't the issue. The issue is FEMALE PEDOPHILIA and STATUTORY RAPE! and the fact that it is being celebrated, again and again in the mainstream media.
You can bet your a$$ that if there was a trend going on where men were RAPING underage girls,it would NOT be celebrated, pushed and submitted for approval by the "entertainment" industry. No it would be completely CONDEMNED by all.
this thing has gotten out of hand! We MUST start holding FEMALE pedophiles to the same standard that we hold male pedophiles! We must tell female pedophiles that we will NOT tolerate this!"

Feminized Men are more successful in work?

apetr writes "Metrosexuals or feminized men, apparently are finding more success in the executive world because they are possesing traits normally associated by women. Slowly we are being turned into women and girls, boys are being drugged in school for dare I say "being boys" and now, if you are a man who behaves more like a women, you will be more successful! How wonderful it must be to be a women, it is not masculinity but femininity, see they don't have to change, we do, to become better human beings. Here is the article."

Misandric Kleenex Commercial

mens_issues writes "A Kleenex commercial shows a young man walking along the side of a muddy dirt road. An attractive young woman speeds by in a sports car, which splashes him with muddy water. She stops, and he looks at her like she’s a goddess. Without a word she throws a box of Kleenex at his chest and speeds off.

Medical profession losing stature

Discrimination against men by Los Angeles County

Ray Blumhorst writes "This news story Budget woes, jail crowding let many female inmates out early
, points out that, "Male inmates serve anywhere from 10 percent to 100 percent of their sentences, depending on the seriousness of their offense..." and one legal expert points out that this policy will be difficult to challenge, "Legal experts said it would be difficult to challenge the sheriff's policy on the grounds that it discriminates against men.

"It's not a cut-and-dried equal- protection violation,' said Carrie Hempel, a clinical professor of law at USC. "The standard for equal protection for prisoners is much lower than for someone who's not incarcerated.'"

That's right, criminals lose constitutional rights when they are sentenced, and here I thought they were losing their rights just for having been born male. What do you think?"

A Different Perspective on Polygamy

A.J. writes "This article is about young men and boys that are thrown out of the nation's largest polygamous community. Most opponents of polygamy characterize it as slavery for women and power for men but conveniently ignore the near equal birth rates for males and females. What happens to all the “excess” males? Many are simply banished for alleged “sins”. A quote from the article: “The worst sin, though - the one for which most are banned - is simply becoming a mature young man in a society where older married men are seeking younger brides.”"

MSN: Vatican paper criticizes radical feminism

The Vatican's letter is reported here. I would be curious to read it myself though I suspect it may not go quite far enough in that it probably does not explicitly condemn feminism as the hate movement it is. It's been my experience that large religious institutions fear women in many ways and so despite many such groups' restrictions on females being admitted into such things as the religious orders (which I personally think is wrong for them to do), they tend to pander to them in other ways, such as promulgating the myth of feminine moral supriority and fostering mother-obsession and denigration of the father while at the same time paying lip-service to "family values". Well, anyway...

Misandric Leanin' Tree card

Men have often been compared to dogs, pigs and jackasses.

But I just don’t think that’s fair.

Why pick on dogs, pigs and jackasses?

(The card had a picture on the front of three men that looked like each animal. Har har har.)

Are educated women interested in blue collar men?

apetr writes "This article seems to describe something that I've noticed more and more, and that is women complaing they are too "educated" for some men. I don't ever recall the reverse being true. That men who are educated complaining about not being able to find an educated women. I think it is because these women are arrogant and priveledged and they are still looking for someone to "take care of them" and obviously do not know true equality. "Then there was Judy, a twice-divorced and once-widowed lawyer and mother of grown children. She sometimes felt a little too experienced and too sophisticated for the men in the conservative Bible Belt city where she lived" Here is the full article."

Breaking Through Thick Skulls Down Under

There may be some problems with the government proposals that are being bandied about south of the equator, but there's no doubt that men's rights activists have gotten the attention of polititians down under.

In this article, we see that New Zealand's Minister of Youth Affairs, John Tamihere, seems to be taking men's issues to heart.

Here we see that fathers' rights advocates in Australia have gotten the attention of the government, though the politicos seem to be trying to get away with tossing men a bare bone from women's/mothers' table of plenty. As Men's Rights Agency director, Sue Price, expressed, "the proposed changes would do little to help divorced fathers get more access to their children... She was worried staff at family centres might be biased against fathers." At least we've got their attention. We'll see what happens next.

Then there's this piece, which includes statements from Sue Price as well as Nigel Spence from the Association of Children's Welfare Agencies.

What gets me is that the politicos in Australia are insisting that "responsibility" be equally shared, but not time with the children. Hmmmmm. Responsibility for men without associated rights... Why does this sound familiar?

At least we're getting their attention, even if some of them are apparently trying to get away with what any thinking person should know won't succeed.

As a side point I've gotta say, Sue Price sounds mighty kewl to me.

Hollywood Chases Young Men Online

Well well, it looks like the withholding strategy is something worth considering with
the news article
makes. To quote "While the major movie studios spent just 1.3 percent of their
$6.76 billion advertising budget online in 2003, the portion will balloon rapidly in
coming years, industry executives say. Hollywood doesn't have a choice. Young men and
other desirable audiences are not watching television, and they are relying less on
newspapers to find reviews and movie times, according to industry research
" You hear that? withholding has been used against the nearest man for long enough, it's about time he made it work for him.
