Only males. A group of students have filed a lawsuit claiming 5th and 14th Amendment violations. The article does not mention results. Does anyone know what has happened?"

The following was just sent to us by the Farrell Campaign...



"Dr. Warren Farrell, Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate, Claims Democrats Have
Driven Men Out of the Party and Businesses out of the State.



Farrell to "Nail" to the Capitol Door His "Ten Theses Toward a 'Reformation'
of the Democratic Party"

CARLSBAD, Ca. Almost 500 years after Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to
the door of the castle church at Wittenburg, Dr. Warren Farrell, with a Ph.D.
(in political science) in his pocket and a "hammer" in his hand, will "nail" to
the Capitol door in Sacramento his "Call for a Reformation of the Democratic
Party." The "nailing"
will occur at 10:15 am pct. on Friday, September 5 at the Capitol's main
entrance.



Dr. Farrell is the first California Gubernatorial Candidate to be listed on
the ballot as a "Fathers' Issues Author." His Ten Theses envision a three-part
Reformation. First, a Reformation of the Democratic Party's propensity for
driving men out of the party;
second, a Reformation of the Party's propensity for driving businesses out of
the state; and third, a Reformation of the Democratic Party's focus on
pleasing constituencies by putting out fires more than by preventing the fires."



So where can I find out what the 10 theses are? As of the time of this writing, only on MANN. Click read more for details.

CJ writes "A man is arrested at a Taco bell because his Speedo swimsuit that he was wearing at a local beach violated an Arkansas law where a person (read - a man) can be charged with indecent exposure if "he knows his conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm." The man faces a $750 fine and possible jail time if convicted of indecent exposure. Not that I agree that this man's decision was in good taste, but would the same happen to a woman if she wore her bikini top and I considered it an "affront?" Or how about women wearing sexy clothing at work while men have to wear suits? It seems that many laws are written specifically for men alone.

SacredNaCl writes "As reported by CTV Canada Shirley Turner killed her boyfriend, fled to Canada to avoid prosecution, was picked up by authorities there and was facing extradition hearings. The childs grandparents had filled a motion for custody, but Canadian authorities still gave the child back to the mother even though she was facing extradition for first degree murder in the US. End result? Three dead including a small child."

Here is an article from far away Norway where getting an unintentional "woody" in the presense of at least two females can cause you to lose you livelilhood.

Evidently, the insanity of misandry is a world wide problem."

This Christian Science Monitor article reports...



"The events involving Hill mark the singular intersection of two of the most controversial issues in US society: the death penalty and abortion. Although violence against abortion providers has declined somewhat in recent years, the impending landmark execution has once again drawn close attention to the issues - which has elicited a vocal and unusual set of responses across the spectrum."



Paul Hill's website is, for the moment, still up and contains several articles in which he argues in favor of killing abortion doctors.

This article in The Age discusses in some detail the negative protrayal of men in the media. An interesting tidbit mentioned therein...



"A survey conducted for the ASB in 2002, revealed that while 40 per cent of all complainants thought women were portrayed offensively, 23 per cent were offended by the depiction of men."

mens_issues writes "MSN had a link to this misandric article about "Why women make better managers."

Can you spot the errors in this article?

Looks like some people in the Ontario education system are finally waking up to the problems with zero tolerance policies, as this Globe and Mail article explains. From the article...

"Not one of the 20 educators contacted for this story endorsed zero tolerance. Most felt the time had come for a more proactive strategy."

Raymond Cuttill writes "The August Men's Hour is delayed, at least until September! Due to editing of the F4J Brecon and Exeter protests which is taking longer than anticipated due to doing both video and audio editing for the first time. I hope it will be worth the wait when it is finished."

Today , as I do often in a year, I put an ad in a local paper that reads: "Learn how biased and misleading "research" can discriminate against you or someone you love. For info email: profair@rogers.com". I advertise in the Penny Saver which circulates about 40 000 papers once a week and costs about $7.00 a week. This time I am running the ad for about 3 weeks. It works. I usually send respondants my speech, which covers a variety of poorely made public policies that discriminate against men based on bad research. I try to be gentle in my delivery while nailing the facts of the matter. I urge anyone to do it. And I have to commend Ray, a member here who has a sign on the back of his pick up truck. Ray drives around L.A. ? with this giant sign. If you've seen the pictures you know what Im talking about. Handing out pamplets is another good way. Everything helps. Reaching new people is key.

Raymond Cuttill writes "After being dropped by MND the Men’s Hour forum is back. It is divided into 4 areas, Serious, Fun, News, Feminist Free Area (No, you don't get a free feminist. It means you must have a valid email address to post there). Posts include female childlove site (from MensActivism), Men's DV site in top 25 of bad sites? (from DLJ blog), another hunger strike and Fathers-4-Justice are impugned about bomb hoaxes. Hope to see you there!"

Anon user writes "According to a new Justice Department study, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. More than 5.6 million Americans are in prison or have served time there--one out of every 37 American adults. Studies show that crime is correlated with fatherlessness more than with any other social factor, including income and race. Jennifer Roback Morse, author of "Parents or Prisons," discussed this problem on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 31.
