Matt writes "The NCFM-DC web site has something very special on it; it's the faces of those killed in Iraq, courtesy of the Wash. Post.

Note they are almost all men (surprise, surprise). Rest in peace, brothers.

Punished just for an accusation?

Scudsucker writes "Ell Roberson, the Kansas State quaterback, might not be allowed to play in his final college game because a woman claimed he raped her at the team's hotel. No charges have been filed, but its possible that he could be banned from the game. Looks like men are usually still assumed to be guilty until proven innocent when it comes to accusations.

Woman, ex-boss dating after harassment suit

CJ writes "After getting caught together together on Christmas Eve, a woman and her ex-boss have paid back $35,000 in taxpayer funds she received after accusing him of sexual harassment (insert circus music here..)"

'Monster' movie spreads lies...new call to action!

Anonymous User writes "Well, the feminists are at it again. 'Monster', which will be in wide release soon, is the sad, empathetic story of poor, mishandled Aileen Wuornos, lowly prostitute, serial killer. Of course, all her ill-will is lodged within her by 'men', as usual. This movie acts as though she didn't admit to lying on the stand and in reports (she told the truth before her execution), and so justifies her killing due to a 'rape'.
See the CNN article for more details.

Time to boycott, or maybe even picket. Placard up, boys, let's get to work. The Shark"

Not Acting "Like a Man"?

Dittohd writes "Here is an editorial by Michelle Malkin detailing her choices for "Whiners of the Year". Note the segment on Rep. Bill Janklow. Below is the e-mail I sent to her at her address MMalkin@WorldNetDaily.com.

Dear Ms. Malkin,

In your article, you state, "Rep. Bill Janklow. The Republican congressman from South Dakota is still refusing to accept the consequences of his actions like a man." Does this mean that he is acting like a woman? Are all men the same? Do all men act in one particular way? Should they? Is "acting like a man" good? If so, should women act "like a man" also? Do you consider your comment to be sexist?

Sincerely,

Dittohd Austin, Texas"


Whether you agree with the morality of the case in question is not the issue here, the issue here is one of definition. Namely, that we must define ourselves, and not let others tell us what a "man/real man" is, as if they define us, they define our self worth, and our honour and dignity will be forever dependant on others, and we can't have that. So make an unyielding stand, and say "I am a man, and none shall say otherwise" that is all.

It was a very good year

As 2003 fades out to make room for the new year, a lot of us are asking ourselves where we're at, where we're going, and where we've been. Normally we ask those sorts of questions about our finances, our relationships, our career goals, etc. but this year I encourage everyone here to set aside a little time to review what all we've accomplished as men's activists as well. We've accomplished a lot, and I know most of us are looking forward to bigger and better things from the movement, but let's not forget to stop and reflect on what all we've accomplished already and give ourselves a well-earned pat on the back before charging ahead.

Call for men victims of family and domestic violence

Raymond Cuttill writes "The BBC is doing a series on bullying. They are looking around for personal stories of men being bullied by women. Bullying of the whole family and/or bullying/bad reactions by the police and courts would also be of interest. To be considered you should contact Dickon Le Marchant by email dickon.le.marchant@bbc.co.uk or at the office on 020 8752 6209 immediately, certainly in the next week or so.

The Wenches War

I think you'll like this one for the symbolism, if nothing else. It's a tale of gender archetypes from the 8th century Czechoslovakian style. Grab a seat and a drink, it'll take a few mins to read, but like a certain haircare product, it's worth it. :-)

I give up

zenpriest writes "I really do give up. The undisputed queen of yuppie kvetching, Naomi Wolf, has actually managed to twist things around so that men's decreasing attraction to women over the past 20 years has nothing at all to do with the rape hysteria and the hostility, suspicion, contempt, and general exploitation that men have gotten from women, and managed to blame it all on porn. She credits Andrea Dworking with being right, by being wrong, and remains blind to the extent to which Dworkin herself contributed to bringing this about. article here."

Family court euphemisms that make good sign slogan

Woman kills pregnant woman

Matt writes "I am quite surprised they didn't suppress

this story.

I am sure she will use some kind of "defense" now well-known to many and all. But that the victim was another woman may just lead the sheeple dealing with this one to actually put her away. Well, we can hope."


Notice the story spent more time talking about how much Effie really wanted a baby of her own than on the details of the murder. Oh well, at least they didn't blame her husband yet.

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.
