Severin writes "This article discusses a group called WEAVE (Women Escaping a Violent Environment) based out of Sacramento, CA. It would appear that this group is promoting a very one-sided picture of domestic violence and is doing it in the public schools in front of, as the author of the article states, "a captive audience of students." A read of their website is also rather enlightening, and frustrating. I intend to write them, directing them to some appropriate alternative viewpoints. Anyone else want in on this?"

Ray Blumhorst writes "A Texas woman who brutally battered two of her young sons to death with rocks in a barbaric act of domestic violence was found not guilty by reason of insanity: Rock kills boys - Female "not guilty" A third son was left badly damaged. It was revealed that "hearing voices" was one of the criteria she met for insanity. Isn't it an ironic coincidence that women's voices, pleading for lenient sentencing, are more frequently "heard" by our courts than male voices pleading for justice. It appears no one in that court "heard" the cries of those three little boys."

mens_issues writes "Shortly after the misandric Capital One commercial, I also saw the last part of a misandric Dairy Queen commercial in which a toddler head butts and kicks his dad in the groin because dad didn't share his food.

CJ writes "In this article

Christian Tompras can't get a seat on Chesterfield Township Republican Committee because he's a man. This married 43-year-old Saint Louis University law student plans to sue, alleging that Missouri's committeeman/committeewoman setup violates federal and state anti-discrimination laws. His papers were rejected because state law mandates that only a woman can run for this post. Once again the Associated Press (AP) and the Boston Globe have relegated government sanctioned sexism against men as an "Odds and Ends" news report, whereas if this were to happen to a woman it would be all over the media.. Hasn't society suffered enough due to feminist inspired lawsuits that simply hint of sexism, yet our own government and the same feminists that created these very same types of lawsuits support overt sexism against men? Lets get behind this one…"

CJ writes "
Stephen Baskerville has compiled the most accurate assessment of the anti-father police state machinery. This article clearly exposes the horrendously misandric governmental controls that has been spawned by the relentless machinations of feminism and right wing criminology on fathers. "Virtually every major social pathology has been linked to fatherless children: violent crime, drug and alcohol abuse, truancy, unwed pregnancy, suicide, and psychological disorders—all correlating more strongly with fatherlessness than with any other single factor. Tragically, however, government policies intended to deal with the “fatherhood crisis” have been ineffective at best because the root cause is not child abandonment by fathers but policies that give mothers an incentive to initiate marital separation and divorce." Forward this article to everyone you know!"

Philalethes writes "In his usual haphazard, insightful and amusing fashion, Fred Reed once again hits several nails on the head: To quote: "In the United States women are, I think for the first time in history, gaining real power. What will be the consequences? ... Men use [power] to conquer their neighbors whether in business or war, women to impose security and pleasantness. ... Just about everything that once defined masculinity is now denounced as “macho,” a hostile word embodying the female incomprehension of men. ... The question may be whether one fears most being conquered or being nicened to death. ... Men are happy for men to be men and women to be women; women want us all to be women."

Matt writes "

Notice their commentary reflecting a lack of sympathy for men paying C/S and then on to talking about what happened recently in Iraq. Do they suppose those Iraqi men were raised by their fathers? And I won't even start on the question of whether or not anyone, male or female can be trained to be killer or for that matter, whether they appreciate being invaded and occupied.

This is again part of the general dismissal of men's issues I find so offensive, coupled with a lack of ability to analyze situations that come from too many people of both sexes these days. Really makes me want to move out. I suppose the idea of paternity fraud doesn't strike IWF as being patently unfair, or the sexist selective service, etc., etc.?

I am sure in their own way groups like IWF mean well but the truth is, they're still feminists. They don't care a whit about men except in so far as we are useful in some way to women."

The Christian Science Monitor is having a poll on whether or not there should be a men's rights movement.

Unfortunately, they missed the boat by having as the only two options, "No. Men still enjoy a privileged position," and "Yes. Casual male-bashing has become too commonplace." Casual male-bashing is hardly the only anti-male discrimination in a society, where men and boys are disappearing from the educational system; male suicide is rampant; far more money is put into researching female-specific diseases than male-specific diseases; for a given crime men receive far more severe sentences than women; paternity fraud is pandemic; men are railroaded in divorce and child custody determinations; domestic violence by women against men is either ignored or excused as self-defense; men account for 94% of workplace fatalities, and there is a federal Office of Women's Health but no federal Office of Men's Health, despite the fact that on average women outlive men by the better part of a decade — to name a few items.

If you'd like, you can vote here. When I last checked, the poll was running 81% in favor of a men's movement.

CJ writes " We've found the best places you've never been. The map is in your hands. All you have to do is pack a bag and walk out the door. Here is a little pro-male reporting from the typically misandric MSN crew. Enjoy, and perhaps take a trip."

Raymond Cuttill writes "The BBC broadcast a programme called "If... women ruled the world". I discuss it on my blog. BBC - "If... women ruled the world" - Don't Blink You Might Miss The Men Talking.


"All the drama-documentaries in the IF series are based on rigorous journalism and research, here's just a few facts about how women's roles have changed, and could continue to change in the future."


I'm tempted to say that it was researched as well as weapons of mass destruction were researched before the Iraq invasion.

Anyway, at If... women ruled the world you can vote on "Would a women's world be a better place?" Currently 55% No. Can we get it higher?"

CJ writes "The Senate voted Tuesday for an additional $6 billion for child care for welfare recipients. This increase in welfare begs a few questions: If the huge amount of federal money spent to subsidize the government attack on “dead beat dads” is in place to supposedly decrease the burden of taxpayers in an effort to support single mother homes, then perhaps the anti-father collection agencies backed by our government's forces aren’t functioning correctly. Or perhaps these agencies exist for the sole purpose of attacking heterosexual males as run by feminist power bureaucracies, as huge budgets will get allocated for welfare needs anyway? One opponent of this additional money, Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said a $1 billion increase already built into the legislation was sufficient. "The idea that there isn't enough money out there for day care is a ruse," Santorum said. "What this is about is a social policy that people should be more and more dependent upon government."

amperro writes "Marilyn vos Savant, of Parade magazine's "Ask Marilyn" (Sunday, March 14, 2004) states that "based on genetic counselors stumbling across many cases of discrepant fatherhood in the course of testing for inheritable diseases" 10% of American children were fathered by someone other than "Daddy"! She goes on to say that the figure may be even higher, stating women might avoid "medical tests unless absolutely necessary." WE NEED MANDATORY PATERNITY TESTING AT BIRTH RIGHT NOW!!!"

Dittohd writes "In this case, a woman duped her husband and others into thinking their daughter had cancer to keep the husband from leaving them. They both accepted donations to cover nonexistant cancer treatments, the father trusting the wife and having her handle all the medical visits and bills. The woman got 6 1/2 years in prison. The husband - 4 years 11 months. Are men ever "victims"?"

CPM writes "Miss Yates said it was the Devil, Miss Laney will claim it was God.

This is the first I hear of this one, but I obviously missed it the first go round. This article says that it is already at trial and that this all happened on May 10 (2003?) Did anyone see this reported back in May? I have seen many stories on women killing their children in the last year, even though it is usually only a blip on the newspage and usually in one of those "oddly enough" sections. But, I think I would remember if this was one of them. I actually find this one more disturbing than Andrea Yates. A tip for Miss Laney: when you tell the jury that God made you do it, make sure you point out that in this kind of situation, God is a man."



RPB659 also writes "Here is a link to a story about a woman that killed two of her sons with rocks, and seriously and permanently injured the other (18 mo. old) son. We should make sure that POS at David & Goliath sees this. Remember when Todd Goldman said that no one was actually going to use rocks against boys?"

LSBeene writes "I wrote to Glenn Sacks about starting a new campaign. I suggested that we target a company that makes male-bashing commercials or uses violence against men as an advertising tool. He replied:

Steven--I can't do a campaign on this right now for various reasons. What I would like to do is to do a show on anti-male TV and radio advertising, with audio clips from some anti-male ads. If you and your sympathizers could collect some for us (Foleys and others) we could do the show. I don't have the staff to prepare it myself, at least for now.
Best Wishes,
Glenn Sacks

I am hoping that people at this BBS and others I post on would be willing to send him examples of violence against men as an advertising tool. From our examples he can get a new campaign started. This is our call to action. I could really use the help. What do you say?"
