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?

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.

This piece is from Pru Goward, the federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner of Australia. Note the standard, feminist distortions and lies about "the greater poverty, violence and earnings disparity suffered by women." Also note that she cops the feminist attitude that generally goes along the lines of "it's men's fault" or "men can't handle strong, independent women" rather than addressing the many legitimate grievances presented by the men's movement.

Australian men might consider doing themselves a few favors: Give women as little preferential treatment as possible in the workplace; avoid marriage; do your best not to become responsible for some woman's children (by law, they won't be your children).

The drumbeat to reinstitute the draft is growing louder.

American men need to gird themselves for being called up to fight, kill, be maimed, and die at rates far greater than those faced by women. At the same time it's a safe bet that, if women are drafted, they will on the whole not only be given far safer positions than men. They will be given positions in which they will learn skills with which they can later make a comfortable living. And no doubt we will still hear about how oppressed women are.

In addition, numerous high ranking officers will be women, who have never had to face combat. In many cases these women will determine where the male-draftees will be sent to suffer the hell of war.

The majority- (read "female-") elected government is preparing to come for you.

Matt writes "It's getting so routine, isn't it? Read it and weep:

Bet she'll get put into an 'institution' for the 'criminally insane'. Men get prison. Women get psychiatry. And boys continue to get murdered by their mothers without any real effort to stop it.

Things like this continue to confirm my decision to remain unmarried and childless. America, sow what you reap."

This is apparently yet another case of a woman falsely accusing a man of rape. The man, who was accused of rape, has filed a lawsuit for just over $25 million. (He is, of course, identified by name, while the alleged false-accuser is simply called "Amy Doe" in the suit.)

It would be good to see successful civil suits against false accusers, but the plague of false accusations is unlikely to abate until lengthy prison sentences are meted out to perpetrators of this monstrous crime.

CPM writes "Woman "Wins" Boston Marathon

...with a half-hour head start. Why don't the men get the head start? Oh I know, so a woman can be first to cross the line thereby "winning". Also I'm sure that the leading men had to also deal with the obstacles of lagging females thereby increasing their times.

Upon reading the first sentence, I was thrilled to see that a female had won the whole thing. I really do want a woman to win so that they can then get rid of these silly men's/women's divisions. Once a woman wins, they can no longer claim that it is some kind of biological obstacle preventing them from winning.

Her time was actually 14 minutes slower than the winner of the "men's race". Geez, I can run two miles in 14 minutes and I hardly consider myself to be a runner at all.

I don't know how they record these things, but is she actually declared the official winner? Also, how many men finished under 2:24:27?"
