The fourth annual Genital Integrity Awareness Week is in Philadelphia May 1-7 with demonstrations at the Pennsylvania Convention Center lead by the International Coalition for Genital Integrity (ICGI) picketing the national conference of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for performing non-therapeutic infant circumcisions.

Here is an article about how slowly but surely domestic violence against men is being recognized in Britain.

According to the article there are now 3 shelters for men in Britain but women still have something like 500+ devoted to them only.

BTW: How many have contributed $ to the only domestic abuse helpline for men that I know of in the US at:

No Excuse For Abuse"

Anonymous User writes "Here are some more anti-male commercials for you guys to ponder. One is from SuperCuts, a hair salon/barbershop. In the commercial it shows young men trying to describe what kind of hair style they want. The stylists (female) always interrupt them with a smart-ass remark like, "soemthing that says I don't live in my parents basement" or something to the effect of not looking like a failure in women's eyes. Also, Ford has not listened to you guys - they have come up with a commercial that shows a wife folding seats and preparing the kids safety seats while the husband struggles with the stroller. At the end she does it for him with ease and he's left standing there."

It's activism day today, so can anyone verify?

LSBeene writes "A girl who had consensual sex with 3 boys in a school bathroom later claimed it was rape. The boys went through the hellish ordeal of being accused rapists. The girls story quickly fell apart and she confessed to lying. The interesting parts: 1) the forensic evidence originally said to be VERY CLEAR that she WAS raped. Now that same evidence is "inconclusive". 2) The boys (15-18/yo) have had their names dragged through the "accused rapist" mill, while the girl, even after she confessed to lying, will remain anonymous. 3) Also, the DA says no charges will be filed, and that he'll recommend the girl get "help". 4) At the high school, AFTER the confession, administrators, parents, and students had a meeting to discuss "the incident and other safety issues". The feminist buzz words for concentrating on rape, which didn't happen, the girl, who is the only criminal here, and boys sexuality. No mention of a discussion on how to safeguard boys from false accusations or any invites of men's advocates mentioned. (big surprise)

Tom James writes "Family Law Source is a new web site that has been set up to provide information on family law topics, including custody, child support, domestic violence, and many others. It includes links to the laws of all 50 states and the federal government, books, articles, and a growing list of links to related web sites and helping organizations."

Here is an interesting essay from the Website Men for Justice. It discusses the extent to which feminism has been waging war on male sexuality for decades. And for those, who are inclined to fall for the lie that feminism was a noble movement in the 60s and 70s, I'll emphasize the dates of the following quotes from feminist leaders.

"The nuclear family must be destroyed, and people must find better ways of living together.... Whatever its ultimate meaning, the breakup of families now is an objectively revolutionary process.... No woman should have to deny herself any opportunities because of her special responsibilities to her children...."
" Functions of the Family," WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall, 1969 - Linda Gordon

"We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage."
From Sisterhood Is Powerful, (ed), 1970, p. 537 - Robin Morgan

Marc Angelucci writes "Mineke Schipper is a feminist who is getting publicity for her book in which she digs up proverbs, from all over the world, that are negative toward women and then uses these proverbs to help spread stereotypes and one-sided distortions about gender and domestic violence. The Los Angeles Times ran her op-ed a few days ago. Today they printed this http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/la-le- violence23apr23,0,7034554.story?coll=la-news-comme nt-letters letter from NCFM-LA in response. Unfortunately they cut out the web link to Dr. Fiebert's bibliography, but at least they printed the letter. Note the interesting letter following it by a Rabbi who quotes female-positive proverbs from the Bible that Schipper never mentions, and then says, "I guess this makes the Bible a radical feminist document." (The web link will probably break after about a day or two.)"

Dittohd writes "Here is an editorial article by Rabbi Smuley Boteach attacking Donald Trump because based on situations Rabbi Smuley could not possibly know to be true, he asserts that "The Donald" can't be a hero because he allegedly doesn't honor women. There is so much bias against men and so much blind "honoring" of women in this article, I think we all need to write to him and tell him how biased he is and why he is so wrong on so many fronts, as respectfully as possible considering his title. How and where is he wrong? I could no doubt write a book and am drafting my comments to him tonight. There is a link to email your comments at the bottom of the editorial web page."

Please visit http://www.stopthedraft.com/ . You will have access there to articles that have been published re the US gov't's plans to reinstate the draft. Visit http://thomas.loc.gov/ and type "national service" in the search box and hit "Search". The first two hits will be the two bills on the House and Senate describing the "National Service" plan to make all 18-to-25-year-olds required to perform "national service" for two years, presumably mostly military service but also other kinds as determined by the authorities.

While these bills make females subject to the draft, they also allow the gov't to determine how people will serve the country, either in military or non-military roles. You can be quite sure that women will not be required to don uniforms in the same number as men, nor will they be required/expected to go into combat. Do you think any of these coffins hold women, and if they do, do they hold nearly as many women as men? If men do not stand up against this, it is us who will lose our own lives, freedoms (what we have of them), and watch our sons, nephews, and grand-sons have to deal with this situation. If we do not stand up for ourselves, who will?

There's a free showing of the Fathers 4 Justice documentary "The Rising" next Wednesday, 28th April in London. It includes the Fathers 4 Justice march and Spiderman who climbed a crane near Tower Bridge and stopped London traffic for several days and helped put father's rights on the map.

mens_issues writes Here we go again with the wage gap myth, this time from Denver's 9news.com. Their article states that "Colorado women won't close the 'wage gap,' which limits their earning power compared to men, until 2040."

What about the extra overtime worked by men when their wives work part time due to childcare? What about how the money is actually spent?

Well, scientists have now done it with mammals. Two female mice have been used to reproduce without the need for a male parent. A lot of high-tech tricks had to be used to pull this off, but the implications for humans may ultimately be profound.

Perhaps.

Actually, I have to say that this type of thing used to concern me, but it doesn't any more. For one thing, I'm convinced that men will become able to reproduce without women at about the same time that women will become able to reproduce without men. For another thing, I think that feminism and political correctness have already sent us reeling toward disaster to such an extent that these scientific wonders will soon be the least of the problems faced by male-female relations. It won't much matter if a few women and men have children without each other, when the vast majority of women and men are having no children at all.

Anyway, I do find this stuff fascinating.

Men for Justice is a new Website dealing with men's issues. People who were involved in "The Great Erasure" at Men's News Daily will see, as site builders, a number of others, who were involved.

I have to admit that I've only glanced over part of this site, so I can't speak for all of it. But what I've seen looks damned good.

Surprised to see this on MSN.

Usually MSN's line is as we know, "men are the cheaters, women are not." I note the speed with which MSN pulls in "experts" to explain away the causes, however. How about just this: Long-term monogamy doesn't come naturally for most people of either sex. Why is this so hard for so many people to accept when experience bears it out again and again?

Frankly, the sexual assault scandals at both the Air Force Academy and CU have had the foul smell of witch-hunts from the start. In this essay, Wendy McElroy gives her take on the growing skepticism in response to claims of sexual assault.

On the whole, I think this is a fine piece, but I do have to take some exception to her statement, "I was raped years ago. As a teenager, I ran away from home and lived on the streets, which placed me in a high-risk category for violence. Were I to go to Richard Grego right now, would he listen with sympathy or skepticism? If the answer is "skepticism," should I blame Grego or the university/tax-funded program of false awareness that pushed a compassionate person toward disbelief?"

No blame should be attached to the skepticism. Every accusation of a crime should be viewed with skepticism until it is shown that the crime did, in fact, take place.

I can speak about this with the perspective that comes with personal experience. I was raped when I was 14. But my statement regarding the matter should be viewed with skepticism by those who weren't witnesses.
