Thomas writing now: Maybe the law wouldn't allow it, but it's too bad the man isn't trying to have the mother imprisoned for fraud.

Wendy McElroy has published an essay on FoxNews.com (probably read by quite a few people) about the cold reception being given to Naomi Wolf's most recent claim to victimhood. As McElroy points out, "a cultural tide has turned."

It's been my personal experience to find that, here at the hypocenter of the Kobe Bryant tempest, women as well as men are no longer falling for the vile claim that women don't lie about rape. Most of the people with whom I've spoken about the Bryant case, at least those who state their opinion on the matter (and in many cases they're the ones who broach the topic), say they believe he's innocent. And several, including women, have expressed outrage at this nation's plague of false accusations against men.

Hey, Ray. Do you have a T-shirt that states, "Imprison False Accusers"?

It cracks me up that so many feminists still claim that differences between males and females are social constructs and that the world will be far better off once men's artificial masculinity has been properly deconstructed along the lines of feminist doctrine. It's as though mainstream feminists, in the face of a growing torrent of scientific evidence, are hell bent on making laughing stocks of themselves.

Here's yet another piece of evidence debunking that ridiculous feminist myth. With respect to the long "debate about how much sexual behaviour was biological and how much was learned," Dr. Darren Russell, senior lecturer in sexual health at Melbourne University, states, "I think more and more we're moving toward a biological model of sex, that a large part of our sexual behaviour and other behaviours are preordained... A lot of our sexual chemistry and behaviour is probably determined before birth."

I s'pose many fembots will eventually drop their claim that differences between males and females are social constructs and instead state that males and females are fundamentally different and females are, by nature, superior.

NB: Joe Manthey submitted this related essay on the importance of biological differences between males and females.

Ray Blumhorst writes " Supreme Court Ruling on Hearsay Evidence The Oregonian reports on a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which will help a defendant to face his accuser. The article reports that this will affect domestic violence and abuse cases, and is a victory for our Constitutional law (6th Amendment), which states that a defendant has a right to face his accuser. One can't help but wonder what will happen to the numerous, almost identical, victim advocate reports that are used in alleged abuse cases by victim advocates as they regurgitate the vernacular of the gender feminist domestic violence movement?"

In this
story they sort of suggest that the insanity excuse will be pursued. Predictably."

rage writes "Although the first article in PDF format is a bit old, I thought it would be interesting to inform the site's readers about the implementation of a vast men's health network throughout the Western countries. Now there is even an MPs' group in the UK parliament dedicated to men's health that gathers left-wing as well as right-wing MPs.

The second article is also very useful, as it informs us of the creation of the equivalent of gynecologists for men in two cities of Germany, so that men could be followed early in life by doctors (like women). The purpose is to reduce the lifespan gap between the sexes. As it is said in the article, once having reached the age of 70, the difference of life expectancy between men and women is only 2.5 years, so it highlights the need for early prevention for young men, who are the most at risk.

Good news, after all maybe men will see their lives getting better in the future."

Rob writes "An excellent illustration of DV stats by the London Metropolitan Police which debunks the myth of "male=offender, female=victim". The BBC article shows that in 25% of all cases investigated, the woman was the abuser.

Unfortunately, there is the usual mitigating statement about some women's violence:
"[some women's]..violence appeared to be defensive and in retaliation to the threat of or actual violence from the male partner."

Since every rational person could argue that "some" men would also have been "abusers" by this definition, and that these two groups of abusers should cancel each other out, then the fact remains that the police force in the UK's biggest city has found that 1 in 4 DV perpetrators it arrests/investigates are female!"

Hunchback writes "Usually with false allegations of sex abuse, the best the accused can hope for is exoneration. The man barely escapes with his life in tatters, and the true victimizer drifts back into anonymiity with her life in tact. What happens when (finally) the accused strikes back. Check this out"

Larry writes "Dads of Michigan is starting a petition drive to get a question on the the November Ballot. The ultimate goal is to get a law passed so that divorced couples share custody of their children, unless one parent is declared unfit. The kickoff of the campaign was covered by both Channel 7 News in Detroit and the Detroit News newspaper. To learn more about the petition drive that Dads of Michigan started Saturday at post officers across the state, give Dads of Michigan a call at 248-559-DADS."

Look at all this activism! In all my time as an admin here, I've never seen so much activism happening as I have now.

"My wife is a successful career woman. She has moved up rapidly in a competitive field, and is advancing her career by attending law school at night. I work out of our home and I do most of the child care. If I decide I don't want her anymore, should I be able to move our kids 2,400 miles away from their mother?

The California National Organization for Women thinks I should."

I'm happy to announce that March 14, 2004 was MaleDepression.com's second birthday! We would serve cake and ice cream if we could figure out a way to do it virtually that wasn't too messy. :-) The guys on our team are ready to come out swinging in our third year of helping men who suffer from mood disorders. Please visit our home page (http://www.maledepression.com) for the latest updates about the exciting things happening at the site.

Over the past two years, it has been a real blessing and privilege to provide this site. This work has been very important to me and I hope to continue it for many years to come. I especially thank Scott G., MANN's founder, for his generosity and his unflagging support for MaleDepression.com and all men's health issues.
