If privacy is an issue you can e-mail me at agtxid4@aol.com. By the way it's nice to read the truth here after listening to lies all day."

CJ writes "There is evidence that testosterone replacement could combat declining strength, failing memory, and decreased sex drive in aging men. But unlike the multitude of contemporary studies on hormone replacement for women, testosterone as an anti-aging agent still has had no large-scale trial into the hormone therapy's true risks and benefits. The NIA plans to fund studies of testosterone replacement as recommended by Institue of Medicine panel who found that data was lacking in this area."

tparker writes "DNA Solutions is a commercial outfit that provides DNA testing for paternity. They also have an online chat for people who want more information (didn't work when I tested it, however) and they will answer questions about procedure, etc by email. If you know someone who has questions or concerns about paternity, maybe these folks can help."

mens_issues writes "Isn't this lovely. I checked out the uComics website today, and a page was displayed with the caption "Men may see themselves in these comics." The comics listed were "The Duplex, The Fusco Brothers, and Shoe." Needless to say, at least the first two comics portray men as oafish and boorish skirt chasers who are treated with contempt by women.
I don't know how long this link will lead to this wonderful feature, but for now it's here
Steve"

Marc writes "The Torrance Daily Breeze (a fairly big paper in Los Angeles County) just printed this Veterans' Day article about decorated veteran Taron James' experience with paternity fraud. He was served improperly, even under a different name, while serving in the Gulf War. When he returned he found himself locked into a child support obligation that he can't get out of even though a DNA test proves the child is NOT his. He never met, fathered, or saw the child. Meanwhile his entire family suffers. Taron and his friend Raegan, who founded Women Against Paternity Fraud, have been extremely supportive of NCFM-LA even on matters other than paternity fraud. They have become dear friends and we want their story to be known. Here's a good quote from Taron in the article: "Sometimes I just feel like a sucker. Veterans Day only reminds me that my government holds me and other vets in such contempt that it cannot lift a finger to stop a blatant fraud which victimizes tens of thousands of servicemen. Worse, the government actively enforces that fraud."
Thank you to Glenn Sacks and Jeff Leving for this story.
Marc"

Anonymous User writes "Two time All-Pro cornerback Tim McKyer played on three Super Bowl champions during his distinguished, 12-year NFL career. However, everything that he had was taken away in a divorce by a judge who, oddly enough, gave him custody of his two children. McKyer says:
"I'm grateful that I have my children, particularly when so many fathers don't. But it's insane that they give me my children...and leave me without a way to support them."
McKyer told his story on His Side with Glenn Sacks on Sunday, November 9."

Matt writes "Comedy Central seems to be countering the notion of the "inherent defect" of straight men that is part of our misandrist culture with a new TV show. Read it
here.
Guess we'll see what they do with it."
What I read doesn't look like "countering" the notion that straight men have defects but rather promoting that view even more. From the article...
"The make-overs include lessons in such areas as spartan home decorating, oafish manners, less-than-fashionable wardrobes, and an overdeveloped ego to mask all personal failings"
If anything I expect this show to say that straight guys are defective but so are gay guys. Yay, all men are bad!

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I have learned that the editor of the Concord Monitor was overwhelmed with letters this weekend in response to his recent editorial on the NH Commission on the Status of Men and a male-bashing letter that were printed late last week. Five responses were printed on these pages: one, two. Pat yourselves on the back, folks! You did some excellent work and it was a great show of unity in support of the NH Men's Commission.

Trudy W Schuett writes "For those not yet fully versed in the world of blogs, Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit blog is one of the biggies. This last week he had an active, and quite favorable discussion on men's issues.
So the news isn't all bad. Once the bloggers get a hold of it, watch out! I got a mention in this but no link (sigh)"
But you were credited for submitting this story! :)

jenk writes "http://www.menshealthoffice.info "Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Senator Mike Crapo have introduced companion bills which will establish an Office of Men's Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This office would mirror the work of the existing Office of Women's Health, which has helped to save thousands of women's lives and has improved the lives of many more."
I think we need to look into this and vocaly promote and support this bill."
There's a link right on the page that you can use to send a letter showing support. In fact the main body of the letter has already been written for you, and by filling in just a couple of fields it will be sent to your senator and congressional representative automatically with one click. Being a men's activist has never been so easy!
