Philalethes writes "According to Nature , 'Male underarms relax women and may make them more fertile.' Just thought we ought to know. Can we forward this to that 'Explain to me again why I need a man' bumpersticker babe?"

Rember this man come father's day. Or any other day we celebrate "Individual Rights". He's willing to sacrifice everything he has in order to fight the corrupt state of affairs. READ HERE.

Neil Steyskal writes "Linda Chavez' latest column shows that some are waking up to mothers' role in fatherlessness. She talks about women's attitudes about whether a father is needed; but she doesn't mention that most divorces are initiated by women, nor that 40 percent of divorced mothers interfere with children seeing their fathers. Still, it's progress.

Kyle Knutson writes "The June 9, 2003 print edition of Adweek Magazine , features a cover story entitled, "The Lowest Moments in Advertising", which highlights the worst of the worst (supposedly) in advertising history. Surprisingly enough (ha!), the bitterly misandrous Progressive Insurance "voodoo doll - castration" ad didn't make the list. You can let the Adweek editors know how inexcusably remiss they are by sending your letters to letterseditor@adweek.com."

This week's MANN chat will be held on
Wednesday night (6/11), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location.
Tonight's topic will be "Improving Men's Health, One Man at a
Time."  Around the world, June 9-15,
2003 is being celebrated as href="http://www.menshealthweek.org/imhw/imhw.htm">International Men's
Health Week (IMHW).  Being aware of our health and how we men
can improve it seems like a very good thing.  However, there is
some debate among men's activists concerning whether we need special
governmental initiatives, offices, or programs to promote men's
health. 

Tatis writes "Men's issues columnist and radio talk show host Glenn Sacks examines move-aways and the damage they cause children in his latest column, "New Study, Case May Help California Children of Divorce Retain Bonds with Both Parents" (Pasadena Star-News & Affiliated Ppaers, 6/5/03)"

CJ writes "In a unanimous decision the Supreme Court lowered the standard for discrimination suits to be presented before a jury. "Direct evidence" which requires proof based upon personal knowledge or observation, "which can be difficult to produce" has been replaced with "sufficient evidence" for a jury to conclude that discrimination was a motivating factor for any employment practice.

Luek writes "
This news story
is significant because one, it shows that a woman will probably get the lesser charge of manslaughter rather than murder when she deliberately kills a man in a manner like this.

And two, it suggests speculation that one of the factors that caused this man's violent brutal death was the social conditioning now in vogue that a man will never ever hit a woman no matter what she does. Did social conditioning in regards to violence against women suppress the natural human instinct to defend one's self against a violent physical attack?"

Their campaign is to pass THE PRISON RAPE REDUCTION ACT OF 2003 (H.R. 1707)

I was very heartened to see this organization.
Usually men being raped in prison is considered something which is laughed-at as hilarious."

nutboy writes "Some good news for fathers in Canada. In the province of British Columbia, a sexist law which barred men from having any rights re the naming of their children, has been struck down.

What I find interesting is that the details of the couple mentioned seem very similar to those of a B.C. couple in which the man was falsely accused of rape by the woman, and had to prove his innocence. Perhaps someone can look into this."

Chas writes "Here is a report
of a group of men in Melbourne, Australia, who regularly get together for a meal in a pub. The purpose of the group is to talk crap... just like women do. And to have fun and time together as good mates in a men-only setting.

Starting with 10 members there is now a waiting list of 69 to join this "Reclaim the Pants" group. Each of the men wears a colour patch which becomes his name for the night.

Sounds like a load of fun! I love the way the group pokes fun at the way men and women communicate, 'getting in touch with your inner female' crap, the implied mockery of 'Reclaim the Night' movement in the group's name, "Reclaim the Pants'.

Maybe this is something to consider for future Men's Groups?"

Anonymous User writes "I read this article on Strike The Root:
Custody Court Massacre -- Bernard Chapin 'The thing I don't understand is how the guy in the story was persuaded into marriage in the first place. He went to the court thinking that his life would be changing for the better, but now he found that his life was over. “I’m going to jail” he told me on the phone. I argued with him and said that wasn’t possible, but after speaking with somebody who does testimony on the behalf of fathers, I discovered that jail time could well be a likelihood for his failure to pay. Robert summed up the proceedings: “The judge had heard this all before. American man takes advantage of innocent immigrant girl. He’ll have to pay and pay and pay.” Only you can’t get 60 grand from a man who’s down 40'. "
