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!

Philalethes writes "This excellent article examines the reality behind some major feminist myths, e.g. "equal pay for equal work": it turns out that only a small percentage of women are really interested in the "equal work" part. Even among the new generations of "liberated" female college graduates with "advanced" degrees, most work at best part-time, at enjoyable "hobby" jobs, while pushing their husbands to work themselves to death to maintain them "in the style to which they've become accustomed." Plus ça change... Some useful statistics, e.g. "Despite an epidemic of obesity among women, there are five widows for every widower.""

CJ writes "Mike Greenberg, a writer and commentator for ESPN, calls for Kobe to quit his work until the legal system has determined guilt or not. "What he needs to do is walk away, exit stage left, disappear into thin air to whatever degree that is possible, until all this blows over." Excuse me Greenberg, but this country once had a standard of innocent until proven guilty. Clearly "she-said-he-said" laws have undermined due process enough, and makes any allegation against a man difficult to defend; now this idiot calls for Kobe to stop what he does for a living because he has allegations against him. MSN has jumped on the “misandry wagon” and broadcasted this article from its website too.

As was to be expected, some negative press is coming out regarding the recent meeting of the NH Commission on the Status of Men. Yesterday's Concord Monitor editorial negatively portrayed the fact that father's rights issues were so overrepresented by the public testimony, and called the meeting "a vehicle to bash women and gripe about life's inequities." An even worse letter to the editor took the typical "men don't have problems and no real man is a victim" attitude and mocked the commission futher. What we need are some focused, rational rebuttals to these attacks. You know what to do: send your letters to letters@cmonitor.com. Don't forget to include your contact info so they can confirm and print these replies. We need to show the Concord Monitor the level of support that this commission has!

Anonymous User writes "Check this out. This very site is being mocked over at the democratic underground. They are calling us wimps and saying we're scared of female equality. Not only that but they then go on and list the various feminist lies to try and justify themselves. Very sickening stuff."
I think its good every now and then to link to what our critics have to say about us. This helps ensure that our visitors have a chance to hear from those who oppose us as well as our devotees, and this thread in particular has quite a few of our detractors explaining why they dislike this site and father's rights supporters in general. As it turns out, I happen to have been banned from that forum after one week of participation last spring, for questioning Michael Moore's "Stupid White Men", being overly critical of Hillary Clinton, and defending Wendy McElroy and the IWF.

Anonymous writes "What is up with the New York Times? They publish a story debunking the feminist myth of the glass ceiling and then they published this article.
The woman disseminating (or is it oviating?) [*groan* - Hombre] this article is on California Governor Schwarzenegger's transition team. One can only wonder what new persecutions await California's collegiate men as well as males in California's work force."
Perhaps someone here might volunteer to contact Schwartzenegger and advise him as to the men's activist view of this?
