Hunchback writes "How does the femborg fight back when the true face of domestic violence is being exposed? It latches on to a handful of sensational, well publicized cases; one of its reps sponsors a bill to create an "advisory board"; eventually the "findings" of the board funnel even more public funds into selected feminist-controlled coffers. This article depicts the birth of a dark star. The campaign was executed quietly, announced publicly only when the result was a fait accompli. Notice the background of the bill's sponsor and the proposed make-up of the board. Letters to the editor might forestall this measure from becoming a national model. Letters to the editor should be no more than 70 words and submitted immediately."

Josh N. writes "Recent Hardees® commercials depict men as too stupid to select a loaf of bread or open a cardboard tube of instant biscuits, while a narrator’s voice proclaims that “without Hardees®, some guys would starve…” Aren’t we all lucky that Hardees® is making sure that the men of America don’t die of starvation because they’re so stupid? Hardees® though, is not the only culprit. For example, another series of advertisements from Domino’s Pizza’s promoting their Philly Cheese Steak Pizzas show a group of men teasing a dog by summoning it with a bell (a parallel to Pavlov’s bell experiments) so that the dog comes in expectation of food, but instead is mocked as a “stupid dog.” A few seconds later, the doorbell rings, and all the men run to the door making panting dog sounds (another Pavlov draw, this time equating the men to dogs) and are greeted by a pizza delivery man who says “No drooling this time guys.” Thus the commercial first takes the time to establish the dog’s intelligence as “stupid”. It next makes the men behave like dogs, so an easy inference can be made by the viewer based on what they’ve established about dogs’ intelligence, that men are also stupid."

Doctor Damage writes "On Friday May 28, The Republican published this story in which feminists complain that judges are no longer taking claims of domestic violence seriously, saying that the court system "derides these allegations as a tactic in divorce litigation"

Chickens coming home to roost?"

Ray writes "Can Gender be socially constructed as women's studies programs teach on our college campuses? Wendy McElroy writes about the life & death of Bruce Reimer, a boy whose botched circumcision led to medical science's failed attempt(s) to literally, physically, (and mentally) transform him into a girl, Death By Theory The gender controversy that raged around (and in) his life, rages to this day. School Debates Difference Between Gender & Sex Should children as young as elementary school be allowed to choose their "gender" as California law advocates? Letter From CA Dept. of Ed Have steps to protect the rights of homosexual children created a climate of “politically correct heterophobia,” that threatens the rights of heterosexual people not to be "harassed" by the gay, lesbian and transgendered agenda? In this whole debate, is the right to be a heterosexual male the one sexual construct that is being left totally out of the equation? The issue appears to confront a number of perspectives as wide ranging and intritcate as the topic of human sexuality itself. California law purports to be seeking an enlightened perspective. However, is the current California attempt to define human sexuality in an all encompassing benevolence, yet one more example of the “tyranny of tolerance” that has for decades worked so aggressively to belittle and humiliate all things associated with heterosexual maleness as unacceptable oppression of the “privileged patriarchy?”"

Bledso writes "Mike's Hard Lemonade has released a new commercial that condones violence against men. A man and a woman are sitting at the bar and another man walks up with a series of blatantly cheesy and juvenile pick-up lines in an attempt to impress the woman. He's clearly portrayed as a big jerk. The first and second attempts draw eye rolls. On the third attempt, the man that's with the woman attempts to tell the offender to leave, but is cut off at the pass when the woman head butts the pick-up artist, knocking him to the floor. Then, apparently, all is well again. The violence seemingly justified. As always, imagine if a man head butted a woman in an ad. The horror! The web site isn't exactly easy to navigate, but you need to get to the "Mike's Media Room" section to see the ad."

tparker writes "Just came across "The Humble Stumble", a cartoon about a single father and his daughter. (Incredibly, the mother didn't die, she divorced him.)

It's not exactly great art, but after most of the stuff on the comics page, it's a bit of a relief."

Rand T. writes "Quote: "Last week saw two new developments in the emerging men's health movement: the debut of a peer-reviewed scientific journal, The Journal of Men's Health and Gender, and what sponsors say is the first men's health conference convened in the USA."

Yahoo! News finally comes out with something that desperately needs revealing. The gulag system of criminalizing and warehousing men seems to be getting more and more efficient as time goes on. Read about it. The article actually notes the huge disparity in incarceration numbers for men and women as well. Great start, Yahoo!, keep it up!

seattleshark writes "KomoTV, a Seattle ABC local newstation, has posted an extraordinarily misandric report on their website. http://www.komotv.com/stories/31443.htm. Here’s an excerpt: “Of the teens aged 15 to 19 who are murdered each year in this country, a third are killed by their boyfriends.” Need more? Here: “Forty percent of students aged 14 to 17 say they know someone their age who has been hit by a boyfriend.” The end of the article offers the following: “For more information on teen domestic violence go to www.loveisnotabuse.com and click on "Just for teens." Please make your displeasure visible by writing the reporter: AprilZ@komotv.com. Oh, and it's time to add Liz Clairborne to the list of companies to boycott!"

Anon user writes "Columnist Glenn Sacks defends the English Fathers' Rights group Fathers 4 Justice in his latest column here. While F4J has received criticism for its actions, Sacks points out that "most protesters have court-ordered visitation with their children but cannot get English courts to enforce those rights. Their protests have broken the law, but have done so only in an effort to get the English government to enforce the law."

mens_issues writes "Honda has an annoying ad for its Pilot SUV where a wife states
that "My husband was raised by wolves." The first time I saw this
was on Super Bowl Sunday (the day of the infamous Janet Jackson
incident at half-time). It showed the husband looking all
dishevelled while licking a plate like a dog, drinking straight from
the water cooler at work, and chasing a Frisbee (thrown by his son)
into a stream.

Anonymous User writes "Hey, I thought men were the ones who had to be looked after when it came to interacting with teens? At least that`s what society tells us. A New Brighton woman was arrested on accusations that she performed sex acts on a 13-year-old friend of her son and provided pornographic materials to other boys. In another case, an angry judge is holding Rebecca Burden in jail until she comes up with $100,000 for a full-cash bond. The 27-year-old Bullitt County woman is accused of having sex with two 15-year-old boys."

Thomas writing now. It's important to keep these cases in the open to try to wear thin the feminist notion that women are always innocent or even victims. Here's a commentary by K.C. Wilson on that issue.

frank h writes "You won't actually read the New York Times saying that the male vote is swinging the election, but if you read between the lines here, you'll see. Of course, the pollsters and politicos won't say it out loud because they WANT the women to have the power, or at least think they do, and they don't want the politicians actually DOING anything to get the male vote, like maybe standing up to the feminist minority. But it's there, guys. It's there."

Thomas writing now. This article is actually about the white male vote.

The_Beedle writes "Aleck J. Carpitcher, sentenced to 38 years for molesting an 11 year old girl, has lost his appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. Carpitchers accuser recanted her testimony nine months after he was convicted in 1999. There was no physical or corroborative evidence. This appeal challenged a Virginia law prohibiting introduction of new evidence more than 21 days after conviction.
Roanoke Times Story

There was a Men's Activism story two years ago about this, before the appeal: Men's Activism Thread from 2002

And of course, it made News of the Weird this week: Fourth Bullet under 'Can't Possibly be True'"

Another example of a counter-stereotype. Won't see this story beyond local news: Woman Drowns Boyfriend's Little Dachshund and 2 women charged in dog killing

I am amazed it made it that far, really.
