Accusation of harassment and the response

Mangesh writes "A former Miss Universe and currently a top model has accused a senior executive of Coca Cola India of sexual harassment. Reaction from the Indian advertising industry is that of disbelief. Happily, the media has been restrained in its treatment of the issue without the usual `guilty until proven innocent' attitude.

NYTimes.com: Women In Prison

Matt writes "Just look at

this!

"Poor Dearism" run amok. Still, they did make some points that they would not have made 20 years ago re the fact that women are committing more crimes than before because of the opportunities to do so. Somehow though, I imagine observers will find ways to make men the fall guys.

But I have to say that this one quote:



"'When you arrest a woman, you are also disrupting the lives of her children,' said Ann Jacobs, executive director of the Women's Prison Association, a New York organization that helps female inmates and their families"



realllly makes me see RED!!! I mean, when you arrest a man, same thing happens, yes?? What a load of &()*^%^*( !!!"



Perhaps this calls for a few letters to the editor at letters@nytimes.com? See this page for a guide to writing them.

Testimony From Hell

Luek writes "Dr. David Reiser gives a very moving and profound description of the misandric judicial system and in particular its insane practice of issuing draconian restraining orders at the whim of a vindictive ex wife.


This is an excellent article that describes what really goes on in the "belly of the beast." After reading this, one begins to see the futility of chasing tyrants in Iraq when very corrupt and evil bastards are right here at home infesting our judicial system and destroying our families and civilization."




As Nick Danger once penned referring to women, "It's their country, let them defend it." As the system continues to trample more and more men they're going to realize that perhaps compared to losing their children, becoming wage slaves, and the presumption of guilty when they face certain kinds of accusations maybe a four finger beard wouldn't be so bad after all.

Shattered Glass Ceiling....

Keep this bit of ammo bookmarked, fellas, as it will come in handy dandy on those days when you encounter fems attempting to perpetuate their full slate of shrill rhetoric.

League of Men Voters

mens_issues writes "The League of Women Voters and Emily's List have been part of an effort to increase the female vote over the last few decades. While men and women voted in roughly equal numbers in the early 1960s, there was an 8 million vote deficit for men by the 2000 election. This 15% gap cannot be good for democracy. Fortunately, a long overdue League of Men Voters was created earlier this year to address this problem.

Male Bashing on Television

Jack Thomas, Jr. writes "I am so pleased to see a web site dedicated to men fighting back in a society gone berserk under the guise of "feminism" and "women's rights".



I am becoming more and more distressed each day as I witness the continuous, blatant and unrelenting bashing and discarding of men, especially white men, on television. It is very obvious on sitcoms and tabloid/talk shows, but I think it is the worst on commercials. I suppose that it is because they only have 60 seconds to complete their task, which is to make a guy look foolish, inane, and lacking intelligence and to completely destroy his self-respect and image as the head of the household.



The vast majority of television commercials now have a new purpose. Not to sell a product, but to show how many ways a man can be belittled, humiliated and shown to be an inept, blithering idiot to the delight of a "superior" in-your-face female.



There are two things I don't understand about this. The first is why the sponsors approve of and buy this garbage, which is supposedly designed to make the entire population, which I believe still technically includes us "lowly" men, buy their product or service. Do they feel that men are so incapable of making intelligent decisions, have no control over purchasing, and are so are totally inane, that it doesn't matter that the commercials make such fools of us day after day? I keep a list of commercials that offend me in this respect and I refuse the buy their products. If more and more guys did this, believe me, this insane mindset would disappear."




It's a tough battle. Women control 80% of all consumer dollars. Much like the idiotic, clumsy, ape-like, lazy black Jim Crow charicatures promoted a century ago to appeal to the elitist white dollar, the idiotic, clumsy, ape-like, lazy man charicatures promoted today are designed to appeal to the elitist female dollar. The first "Secret" deodorant commercial really exposed just how profitable appeals to female elitism are when their product was yanked out of the hands of a man (filmed in black and white with his face kept off the screen), by a woman, (filmed in color), as the message "made for us" was narrated. Other deodorants, whose commercials showed women or men picking up the deodorant off of the shelf and made no attempts to dehumanize the men by hiding their faces got clobbered by Secret deodorant. In addition to these "women violating the rights of insignificant men who submissively let them" types of ads Hallmark's Shoebox division came out in the early 90s appealing to female elitism by making horribly anti-male greeting cards, often depicting sexual abuse of men as humor. These cards outsold all the other Mother's Day, Birthday, and Christmas cards, (the ones that weren't produced by Shoebox), quickly becoming the most profitable division for Hallmark. There's a lot of money in appealing to the female supremacist majority, and when even most men can't see that Homer Simpson is identical to the charicature of "Sambo" from the Jim Crow days given a bleach job you know misandry has become so infiltrated into the social code as to be invisible.

For Battered Men the Battering Never Ends!

Ray writes "Happy holidays to battered men. Here's a rather plaintiff letter from a male victim of domestic violence.



What I wondered about most was, "Why did this man feel compelled to not identify himself, by name, with the horrible treatment he lived/lives through?" Do you think America should treat this man/all men with more understanding and compassion, or should they just continue showing men the "get tough or die" formula that the D.V. industry, and most of America, now shows to its battered men?"

Women Pass Men in White Collar Jobs

CJ writes "For the first time since tracking began 20 years ago, U.S. women outnumber men in higher paying, white collar managerial and professional occupations. The gap will continue because of a self-perpetuating cycle of workplace gains for women, according to international outplacment firm Chicago-based Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Article here."




In the younger groups, women far outnumber men in these positions. It's only because many older women have chosen to be housewives that it's even close.

Men's Issues - Valid Grievances, or Just "Whining?"

Ray writes "Are today's activist men, in today's men's movement, following, lock step in the same "whining," complaining patterns of the "militant feminists of past decades as this author would have us believe, or are they marching to the tune of a different drummer with valid issues completely unique to the real oppressions they are facing? Is their activism just "whining" or do they really have valid grievances?"
