The studies say what we've been saying all along: women are more apt to leave the work force.

Of course, the article puts a VERY biased slant on the interpretation of these statistics, implying that the blame rests on employers who are not accomodating. Did it ever occur to them that men are under greater competative pressures to work, garner experience, and earn more money, hence why they are less apt to leave the work force? That women have choices to leave the work force that men don't have? That leaving the work force is a sign of lesser commitment to work, rather than a cause (because women are more able to find partners who are willing to financially support them)? Did it ever occur to them that this might be unpleasant for men?

I hear many women complaining about have to make choices regarding whether or not they wish to work. Funny, nobody ever asks me what I would choose. "Fully 96% of these prime-age women worked at least one of those 15 years." Gee, they make it sound like such an accomplishment. Sounds like a pretty low standard. I never grew up with the expectation that I would spend *any* number of years without working. That would be swell, though.

Must be nice to have the choice to relax and not stress out, then have everyone feel sorry for you once you do."

Not unlike men getting murdered by women showing up under "Oddly Enough", I have come to expect this sort of thing from Yahoo! News. The (in)famous Courtney Love, high on coke and who knows what else, attacks another woman with a deadly weapon, and it is reported as "Entertainment". You know, I can't help but think that if the victim were male, it would not even have made it into the paper much less get the attention of the law.

CJ writes "Man can't fill woman's spot on county committees political party office."

Our broken judicial system sided with the motion to deny this man an opportunity: "The Supreme Court upheld that decision, saying a political party office was not the same as public office. As such, the court said it was not protected by a state constitutional provision stating that "no person shall be disqualified from holding office in this state because of sex." Anytime someone registers for office, be it political or public, and someone has to first see what they look like -- be it man, woman, black or white -- there's something wrong with that. Feminism - do as we say, not as we do...as usual. This is an "Odds and Ends" piece. If the genders were reversed Dan Rather would be talking about it...

Mangesh writes "This article is from Malaysia. Particularly good in the opening. It starts with some historical perspective on violent behavior by women - from Catherine II to Lynndie England. It also mentions that violence by wives against their husbands is quite common in Malyasia, but men don't report it because they are ashamed to admit what happened to them, and that women abuse children as much as (or maybe more than) men do. The later part is somewhat disappointing. It offers a number of explanations (excuses) for femal violent behavior.

It seems that the media in diffrent parts of the world has begun to report on violence by women and/or against men. Surly a good sign!

Betrayed in America writes "The wage gap brought MRA's to Kerry's "womens issues" thread. This opened the door to the report (not study) used to foster womens vote, by MRA's. A lot of debunking going on there. Also the MRA's injected some men's issues. . .to the point were a mens issue's thread was opened. Now I don't know if the thread was an attempt to derail the men on the wage gap or a genuine desire to here mens issues. Either way there is a public thread on a presidetial candidates site. It seems to be a good opportunity to get some issues into public debate. Please be courtious as they tend to ban people easily there. Beware there are a couple of seemingly feminist that are attempting to trivialize and deter the issues. Stay focused. . .have fun! One note: If the link doesn't work. . .the thread is listed under the topic of "womens issues" as "issues that concern men"."

Update: Betrayed in America writes "Its under "Civil rights for all Americans" now. Here's the

Read this article in Forbes on-line, off-linked from the AOL AIM news pop-up. The article is glaring in its omissions. My letter to the editor is below (comments to Forbes can be submitted here).

The_Beedle writes "The Associated Press ran a report last Friday on the gender wage gap in which they claim that women earn less than men for the same work. Once again the crucial factor in earnings, the number of years an individual has been performing their job, is left out.

For comments AP spoke exclusively to women. They mention education, but fail to mention that women now receive more degrees than men. And for the finale the economist they quote equates single-parenthood with motherhood and argues that employers should be forced to pay more for less productive workers."

Anonymous User writes "Here's a convoluted piece of writing, Politically Correct, Pseudoscientific Ideologies Targeting Groups of People in the Golden State that compares and contrasts California's past practices with present day practices in regards to the Golden State's "unique ways" of dealing with issues of "societally deficient" human beings, human sexuality, and "gender." Apparently, today's males have not been the first group of people to be systematically stigmitized, demonized, and persecuted by "Golden State" politics and pseudoscientific hokum. The details presented in this article, reveal a fascinating past and present for the "Golden State" that is a truth hiding in plain sight, yet seldom mentioned. Gee, I wonder why?"

Roy writes "Frequent poster to MANN Ray Blumhorst was quoted in a "Commentary" piece by Kathleen Parker (6.2.02) - "Blindsided by Political Correctiness..." an essay regarding the damages done to feminism by the recent Abu Ghraib scandals.

Ray's quote: "What happened in Abu Ghraib is no isolated incident, no abberation," wrote Ray Blumhorst... I have little doubt that all of the females implicated at Abu Ghraib will have little trouble finding jobs in the multi-billion-dollar VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) domestic violence industry, just as soon as American, gender feminist justice rationalizes away all their misbehavior."

Ray Blumhorst writes "Domestic violence information is honestly reported here, Women who batter, and the men who fear them Male victims of domestic violence really need to be written about in main stream media, but rarely are. Robert L. Jamieson shows journalistic integrity by objectively reporting the events in this story, without all the usual domestic violence industry misinformation and lies we so frequently see in media coverage of domestic violence stories."

Ragtime writes "Colombian baby 'stolen from womb' -- Colombian police say they have arrested a woman for stealing an unborn baby from its mother's womb."

What was the motive? I wonder.

CPM writes "Story here "The killing appeared especially shocking because of the age of the children involved and the fact that both were girls. "
The age of the killer can legitimately be referred to as "shocking", but there is nothing shocking about a female killer. The shocking part is that it made the news and that she was actually identified as female. There are many stories I see where a violent female is referred to as a: coworker, friend, acquiantence, classmate, or other gender neutral term. Many times even after reading the entire article, the gender of the perp is still not divulged - which is a near guarantee that it is female. They also had to throw in a couple mentions of young boy killers to show that young killers are supposed to be male."

A Parma woman who carried on a two-year sexual affair with a boy who was 13 when it began dodged prison Wednesday when a judge sentenced her to probation on felony sex charges.

Dawn Bacon, a 34-year-old mother of three, pleaded guilty earlier to 20 counts of unlawful sexual contact with a minor. She will serve six months of electronically monitored home confinement and must continue psychotherapy...

Another story in the same vein article 2

Jennifer Joel Wilder, 33, was charged with sexual battery on May 14. She is free on $10,000 bond.

Luek writes "If you go to the Men's News Daily site regularly you will notice the cartoon strip Day By Day written by someone called Chris Muir. This strip has recently given in to the concept that violence against men by females is okay and humorous. The current one, as of 4 June, has a male character called Zed getting slapped by a female character because he sent a picture of her breasts, I think it was, over the internet.

I sent Mr. Muir this e-mail protesting his condoning of violence against men by females as okay and funny." See the Read More section for the e-mail.
