Matt writes "Hey, if you are still at all interested in marriage, maybe start by reading this site It seems to answer a lot of questions about such arrangements that are very hard to get answered elsewhere.

I would have submitted this under the topic "For the Gambling Man", but there was no such one. :) "Divorce" was the closest I could find. But apparently the divorce rate among US men and Russian women is less than half that of marriages between US men and women, so there still may be hope for some of us, at least, of a decent chance at something like a (more) predictably safe(r) kind of 'traditional' relationship with a woman -- you know, the old fashioned kind wherein the woman doesn't seem to hate the man for no apparent reason and then runs off with his kids in a few years, leaving him with the bill."

One of the most openly misandric articles I have read for quite some time. Right from the beginning, the tone of the piece is defiantly vituperate, with quotations such as: 'Males are, in many ways, parasites upon their partners.' Hornblow continues her salvo by villifying the status of men in education, work, and the family. In conclusion, she argues that, the only way in which modern man may legitimately reclaim his (forbidden) masculinity is through reducing himself to the 'lowest common denominator': thus, embracing the traditional 'bachelor' stereotype. If that doesn't appeal, Hornblow advises buying a copy of Steve Jones' book, "Y: The Descent of Man", and indulging in some real gender autolysis."

of how women kill - covertly and indirectly - and why they kill - because they don't like the way they are being treated. Notice also that it took almost 5 months for the authorities to file charges against her."

Garth writes "Researchers have developed a computer program that can guess the sex of an author with 80% accuracy by simply reading their work. Surprisingly (or not), they have been denied publication on the grounds that their work is sexist. One critic states: "This whole rush to categorisation usually works against women." The researchers say they are "just reporting the numbers.""

This article reports on research showing that men are far less likely (in fact not at all likely, if they think they can't get caught) than women to admit to fear. I post this because one of the most common arguments given by feminists, when they attempt to disregard domestic violence committed by women against men, is that if you ask a woman and a man, who have been victims of DV, if they are afraid of the perpetrator, the woman will say "yes" and the man will say "no."

The feminists claim that this shows that the man isn't really a victim, but they know that a man, even if he is afraid of a woman, is very unlikely to admit it.

This week, I've decided to do something fun and dust off my 8-Ball to see some active service. Yep that's right, you ask the questions and I'll use the 8-Ball to answer, so ask away, and let's have some good questions ok?

CJ writes " Of course little is mentioned in the article
(it would be the reverse if girls were behind). Girls are out performing boys in writing ability by large percentile differences. Federal focus on education has been to eliminate the small gap in math proficiency that boys have over girls, while girls are doing 20% BETTER than the boys (as tested in MA) in writing! Here is an actual quote from the article -"We're seeing it (boys doing poorly)in MCAS, SATs, reading and writing - It's a trend we need to pay attention to." A trend we need to pay attention to!!! What a stupid understatement, I’m sure that they will find a nice feminist solution to the problem. School systems must become boy friendly again and allow programs that interest boys. Right now masculinity is considered a pathogen, as the lesbian-feminist agenda continues to pummel normal and marginal boys into ignorant submission."

angry_young_men writes "This should speak for itself: A VICTORIAN man who donated his sperm in the "usual and customary manner" - by having sex with a lesbian - has been found liable to pay child support."

Mike Franco writes "
For anyone in MA (USA) who is interested in fairness, please help support Senate Bill 1075 for Shared Parenting which will be heard before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, Thursday, July 24 at 1 p.m. in Room A1 of the Statehouse, Boston. To review the bill, please go to here. Several legislators across the state are sponsoring SB1075. Please help us bring attention to the bill by contacting your local representatives. The Fatherhood Coalition."

This may come as a surprise to no one. If you're a man and a criminal, you might do society and yourself a favor by getting married. However, if you're a genius...

Matt writes "This speaks for itself.

Letters to the editor are a good idea."

(Thomas writing now) This piece drips with hatred. Just one example is Dowd's statement, "Self-love as a survival mechanism: the unflinching narcissism of men may send women into despair at times" It seems the New York Times has learned nothing from its recent debacle over Jayson Blair. If anything like this were said about Jews, blacks, women—any group except men—the writer would be fired. In fact, it wouldn't make it into print in any publication masquerading as a serious medium.

It seems that the folks in New Zealand (and Australia) are starting to catch on. Consideration of fathers, who commit suicide after divorce and separation from their children, is terribly overdue, but at least it's finally being addressed.

Davii boy writes "Well, Karen De Coster seems to think that males should live to serve women. I wonder if the males she describes in this op-ed are products of a culture that hates men? It also seems to me that disrespect breeds disrespect, and speaking as a 20-something male with expired dreams of family life, the modern day female doesn't look all that appealing from a male perspective."

This week's MANN chat will be held on
Wednesday night (7/9), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. 
The topic will be "The Degradation of Boys."  MANN recently
reported about the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/08/2318227">degrading
speech and actions that have been directed at boys.  Why are
such things happening to the next generation of male members of our
society?  What can we do to stop such abuses?  Join us to
identify and plan appropriate responses.
