Naomi Wolf - Lipstick Fem Abuser

Roy writes "In a piece to be published this week in New York Magazine,
"lipstick feminist" author Naomi Wolf ("The Beauty Myth") has publicly accused aging Yale professor Harold Bloom of groping her in the 1980's when she was his student. A shameless self-promoter who has used her vixen facade to market her pseudo-intellectual brand of new feminism, Ms. Wolf apparently also has no qualms about using "third party abuse" via the media to destroy the reputation of an eminent scholar.

Independent Women's Forum has a good take on the flap.

Men's Studies Programs, Departments

Ray writes "Here is a link to over 700 women's studies programs, departments, and research centers (mostly in the United States): Women's Studies Programs, Departments, and Research Centers
With Title IX wreaking havoc in Men's Sports Programs, why is there no comparable legal ruling demanding an equal number of "gender specific" programs educating about and advocating for the many issues that males face? Men's Studies should be taught in colleges and universities (from the male perspective) based on the number of students (by gender) enrolled in each college or university? Sexism 101 (taught from a male perspective) would be a good beginning, explaining how schools today treat male students in sexist and hostile ways."

Secret Anti-perspirant Ad

Cain writes, "Procter and Gamble are running yet another unbeleivably contemptous television ad for their product Secret Antiperspirant and since a search on this site has turned up three ather articles concerning ads for the same product I have sent them the attached email and suggest that others send similar emails or letters. It would seem that since the product is an exclusively female one Procter and Gamble are reluctant to take men and our response to the ads for this product seriously. So I have included a list of products that are not exclusively female and I would encourage all those that read this to spend their money elsewhere.

BBC Web Pages on Fathers4Justice Disappeared?

Raymond Cuttill writes "The only place on the BBC website that mentions the police raids on the homes of Fathers 4 Justice demonstrators has disappeared.

Now maybe there's a minor problem or the BBC doesn't want to say that the fathers are being treated badly in any way, in other words it's just a bunch of men complaining about nothing. Maybe I'm paranoid or maybe they're out to get me. Probably both.

Raping Boys for Fun and Profit

This article in the Detroit Free Press describes how a woman, who 15-years-ago had sex with a 14-year-old boy (it was probably a crime, since she was an adult at the time), has now been awarded child support. The court, of course, says it's all for the sake of the child.

Notice to all American women, or at least those in Michigan: If no man is willing to be stuck with you while you have and raise kids, just rape a boy! The courts will reward you! And remember, you're a widdle baby wictim of da paaatweeeaaaarchy! WAAAAAAAAAH!!!

ADDED NOTE 02/22/04: LSBeene, aka Steven, has provided us with this additional news on the case. The victim claims that, when the woman (Laura Michelle Evelyn) raped him, she drugged him with alcohol. The court has yet to decide how much of a reward will be taken from the victim and given to the woman (Laura Michelle Evelyn) who raped him.

P.C. at U.C. -- Football Coach Reprimanded in Rape

Roy writes "
University of Colorado football coach Gary Barnett has been reprimanded and placed on administrative leave after he had the temerity to speak truthfully about the “awful” level of play of a former U.C. female kicker who has made rape allegations against the team.

“Not only was she a girl, she was terrible. And there’s no other way to say it. She couldn’t kick the ball through the uprights.”

U.C.’s President, Elizabeth Hoffman said "In the context of rape allegations, it is inappropriate to make statements about the ability of the player.”

Apparently U.C. has expanded its already draconian campus “speech code” to now include Thought Crime!

Kidnapping mom caught 14 years later

jenk writes "Authorities arrested the mother of a 17-year-old boy after her son saw his picture on a missing children's Web site and discovered that she was accused of abducting him from his father 14 years ago."

The thing that sickens me is that the mother gets sympathy, no one has even mentioned how the father felt or why he got custody in the first place, and the boy is in foster care. I would like to think the father would get him immediately, after the mother stole the last 14 years.

Judgement Against Anti-Male Discrimination

Dittohd writes "Here's an article about a judgement against the U.S. government's Small Business Administration after a female manager tried to rid the organization of its "too many" male supervisors and then retaliated against a woman employee who wouldn't cooperate, forcing her to eventually quit the organization. Progress!" Frank H also said "This story is self explanatory. It seems the Small Business Administration has been undertaking a campaign to get rid of what it regards as "too many" male supervisors. The sad thing here is that the plaintiff, a woman who chose to speak up, is the only beneficiary. I wonder how many men actually lost their jobs or had their opportunities for advancement diminished? Will they be able to sue now, as well?"

"Menstrual Awareness Week" at OU

Michael Wright writes "The faux feminists at the University of Oklahoma have found a new cause: "period week" or "menstrual awareness week." The idea is to encourage women "not to be ashamed of their bodies" and to "expel taboos that are part of being a woman."

They are also "reclaiming" something "that's thought of as bad by our society." That's funny. I never thought periods were bad.
But faux feminists have to make everything a confrontation against the "patriarchy." They believe that evil patriarchs have been slandering women for centuries because they have periods. Now it's pay-back time.

They'll have the usual "health experts" addressing this topic. I'll bet you a dollar to a dime they won't tell women what they really need to know about periods, i.e., when they stop happening, beware of hormone replacement therapy. There's a growing body of literature among the truly hip (rather than the pseudo-hip we find in abundance at OU) about the problems of HRT. At OU, they won't be treading on the profit interests of the pharms as they wage their "struggle" against the "patriarchs."

Boys' Education Gap

Anonymous User writes "The Maine State Education Commissioner is forming a study group to examine causes and solutions for boys having lower grades and educational aspirations than girls. The Bangor Daily News article is here: and includes the following:

"Research says boys are in trouble on other fronts. They are 15 times as likely as girls to be victims of violent crimes; they commit suicide more often; drop out of high school at four times the rate of adolescent girls; and are more apt to be left behind a grade and diagnosed with attention deficit disorder."

The article also states, "During interviews a couple of years ago when asked whether they liked school, the majority of little girls said yes, while most little boys answered no." Many of those looking into this will probably try to sing and dance around the truth, but the fact is: Feminist teachers and administrators have turned the nation's academy into a viciously hostile environment for men and boys.

The article also states, "It doesn't bode well for society in general. Boys are abandoning ship." Well, if feminism continues to poison all of industrialized society, especially the English speaking nations, then we won't have to worry about this for long. Industrialized society, through the end of birthing, will cease to exist.

No Indoctrination....

frank h writes "I thought I'd share this No Indoctrination web link with the group. The organization in question seeks to push back on the liberal bias that's so apparent in our colleges and universities today. I know there are visitors here who regard themselves as liberal and dismiss the notion of conservatives being better supporters of men's rights, and perhaps that's valid, at least partially. What's useful to note about the postings there (click on the "View Postings" link at the upper left corner) is that there seems to be a large percentage of them complaining about the women's studies programs. I didn't look at all of them, but of the number I did check, I thought that protests against women's studies was inordinately large. I also sent this group an email asking them their position on administration-sponsored claims of "one-in-four women will be raped" to which I have not yet received a reply. I will post it when I get it. If you know anyone in college, you might share this link with them, as I did with my daughter this morning. (No reaction yet from her.)"
