Bob Geldof, formally of the punk band the Boomtown Rats, has decided to speak up for deadbolt dads. Sky News tells us that...

"He was speaking at the launch of a new book on the subject, Children and Their Families, to which he which he has contributed a chapter.

He told the audience, which included Cherie Blair, parents should get equal "50-50" access to their children, as in Denmark."

Yep, you got it. A German court ruled that a man divorced from his wife owes her new husband part of his pension after she died. So a man is paying the man his wife hooked up with after she dies because she hooked up with him after they divorced.

Why does Yahoo! News keep putting stuff like this in the Oddly Enough category when it ought to be in a new category called Civil Rights Violations of Men category?

Again, stay single. Here and abroad."

While there are some side effects, this new treatment shows great potenial. It does look like the way ahead. "In a study published in the journal Urology, Japanese researchers tested a new method that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver intense sound energy to destroy the tumor without damaging the surrounding tissue."

This just in from the Farrell Campaign...

To quote: "If a deeply-rooted military tradition of male-only draft registration is to be ended, it should be accomplished by that branch of government which has the constitutional power to do so and which best represents the 'consent of the governed' - the Congress of the United States, the elected representatives of the people"
Hmmm, I got a few opinions about this, but let's read the article for now.

Neil Steyskal writes "Today, Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reviewed a new novel about a fraudulent sexual-harassment lawsuit: "You Look Nice Today," by Stanley Bing. It sounds like a good read. Here's the amazon.com
review"

Jolly Stainsby, a member of the father's rights group Fathers-4-Justice, has tied himself to a crane from which he intends to stage week long protest of the way father's rights are treated in court. See this Echo&Exress News article for more details.

The Times Recorder reports that "Money that Jonathan Sims paid for child support -- for a child that was determined through DNA testing not to be his daughter -- was finally returned to him last week by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services through the Muskingum County Child Support Enforcement Agency"

Code Monkey writes "This month's Men's Health magazine includes an article about the way men are overwhelmingly portrayed as idiots and losers in today's sitcoms. While the author doesn't do much more than complain about this situation and offer examples of it, I do think this is a good sign that the issue is being discussed in a maintstream mag like Men's Health. The media does have an impact on our culture and we should care about the consistently negative portrayals of men as incompetent jerks on TV."

mens_issues writes "I have created a new Yahoo! Group called Warren Farrell for
governor. The web address of the group is:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WarrenFarrellForGove rnor/

Please join this group and support Warren in his bid for governor of
California. Even a couple of hundred members would bring this group
into the top ten California politics groups, making it more visible
to those seeking such groups on the web.

Anon User Writes: "One of the greatest dangers men and fathers face today is the way restraining orders based on false domestic violence allegations are used to drive fathers out of their children's lives. There have been numerous documented cases of decent fathers being arrested for sending their children birthday cards, attending their son's Little League games, or calling their own children at the wrong time of the day. Last night Craig, a Seattle father of two who was sentenced to three months in jail for returning his ex-wife's phone call, told his story on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles and KKOL AM 1300 in Seattle/Tacoma. To listen to the archive, go to His Side"

Luek writes "http://www.juryduty.org/JuryDuty.htm

One of the reasons men are oppressed under misandric laws is that these laws have never really been subjected to the process of passing muster in jury trials where jury nullification could stop the abuse.

The link above has details on just how jury nullification works and most important tells how to avoid getting tossed out of the potential jury pool due to your beliefs.

Men in the movement have to be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to use jury nullification to stop judicial misandry when and if they ever are called for jury duty on cases like marital rape, violations under the VAWA, workplace sexual harassment and so forth."

Anonymous User writes "Steve Deluca is having computer problems and asked me to post this announcement from him about a Project Sanctuary ad that announces the "every 12 seconds" figure for female DV victims but fails to state that the same source for all of these "every XX seconds" factoids says----" Please go to read more.

Luek writes " This is a story of a father whose baby daughter was killed by her mentally deranged mother after he filed a warning with Child Protective Services stating his daughter was in grave danger being in custody of the mother.

He is suing the CPS and one of the points in his lawsuit is that he was virtually ignored by the apparatchiks in CPS because he is a male. Let's hope he wins big!"

Stephen Baskerville does great work. It should be read and passed around. I believe the Courts are already in Disrepute, they are just unwilling to admit it yet. Read Here.
