Anonymous User writes "Irish Independent newspaper on 24/5/03. It was reported that a baby girl developed on her mother's liver. The baby weighed in at 6 pounds after an ultrasound scan showed the mother's womb was empty. At operation, Professor Jack Krige found the amniotic sac behind the liver, cut it open and delivered the baby. Operation took place at the Groote Schur hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
This is further evidence that uterus not absolutely necessary for human reproduction. Also it makes the concept of an artificial uterus seem more credible" I think I saw this on mensdaily, no promises through.

The Gonzo Kid writes "Well, no link, heck you can probably find your own. Annika didn't make the cut; though credits, I suppose, are due her for not shooting from the red tees. What I do notice is that time and again the "applause" for her is mentioned, even when she bogeyed. So where, I ask, is the media mentioning all the men who failed in their efforts to move to the advanced rounds? Why is it that a woman gets all this credit for trying and failing (while in on a pass) when these men aren't even mentioned at all, many who have failed to make the cut for a few years running, but still plugging away? Things to make you go "Hmmmmmm....""

http://www.citizensforaonestrikelaw.org

Here is a quote from the homepage:

"It also exposes the problem that our government could have created a One Strike You're Out Law but instead proved impotent to deal with these horrendous crimes against our children and women."

She is perpetrating a most egregious falsehood on page one by implying only children and women are affected by sex crimes! She also references more instances of men behaving badly throughout her site (I don’t recall her attaching one single referential scenario involving a woman perp).

To everyone involved with this site, get off your duffs and write this lady, tell her what she is doing is flat out wrong! Tell her she either changes the homepage and the rest of her site to make it gender neutral, or we will fight this initiative tooth and nail! Remember, she comes from the same state that produced Mary Kay Letourneau! You can reach her here:

onestrike@monroe.net

I’m also contacting the print and airwave media to point out the absolute hypocrisy of this situation, but I need your help to make a real difference. Let’s not allow this to go unchallenged. If we are a force, then let that force be wielded now !

One last note: The wording behind this initiative is overreaching and so blatantly unconstitutional I know it will fail any higher court challenge.

If you don't want to walk in, just call. . .any department and see if a man actually answers the phone. I have called wal mart (local) and their world headquarters many times. . .managers, human recource, specific departments. . .yet to talk to a man. I watch as anything deemed "Male" items is simply being removed from the shelves.
Discrimination . . . against WHO???
I stopped shopping there, I am driving 30 minutes more to shop at Mejer's. Why? As I told the (apparently "female only")reps for wal mart "I WON'T support any business that has such an obvious anti-male agenda. . . . . . .EVER". I (and my family) have shopped primarily at wal marts for the past 20 years. . .never again."

rage writes "For years, women have benefited from hormone replacement therapy (estrogen and progesterone), and as usual there was no equivalent for the growing number of men getting older....but recently HRT for men has become the norm, and in the future men will have full access to male hormones and all their health benefices : growth of muscle mass, increase of bone density, improvement of cognitive abilities (spatial, logical and scientist skills), reinforcement of self-confidence. So for all our older brothers on this site who are in their 50's or 60's, do not forget to visit your physician and ask for the prescription.

I know this is shameless advertising, but I want people to know Im human. A real life person with feelings and events. I also want to encourage others to tell us when its they're birthday, or if their getting married or promoted or something good about their lives. We so much focus on the shit men are dealing with, we should also have some more good stories to tell. Please feel free to post anything you feel is something you want us to know. You can of course remain anonymous under your user name. You dont even have to post the day your birthday is , just tell us its your birthday or you're being promoted or you get the idea. There has been great tragedy expressed on this board many times over. I think a greater tragedy would be not to express some of the happier times we face. Your friend Dan.

Hunsvotti writes "In the past, foreskin restorers relied on weights ("pondus judae") and awkward strap/tape devices that were a nuisance to use and could cause irritation. Now, the folks at Cut/Uncut are offering a foreskin restoration kit for US$19. It is very simple: silicone rings of varying sizes are applied, and these adhere to the skin without the use of tape. Does anyone have experience with this or other restoration methods?"

Feminists have officially declared war against Men's activists in Canada and the US. Feminists have cited hundreds of Men's issues internet sites and they are looking for money and personnel to monitor the sites. They will be the ones who will bring 'hate crimes' to court. I will post a mission statement. "Recommendations include increased monitoring of Internet sites and possible legal action with respect to hate propaganda on the Internet, that women's groups develop and disseminate through the Internet positive, egalitarian messages to counter this discourse, that they form a network of experts in fields on which the masculinists are focusing. They also suggest that whenever possible, the release of gendered data be accompanied by contextual analyses." It is clear that the internet is having an effect on them. I also suspect a feminist move towards more centralization of the internet will be following not to long afterwards. Here is the first page. Here is the second page. Scroll to the bottom and see if your group or a group you know about is listed. They list US , Australian and French sites as well.

Philalethes writes "The Anti-Feminist Page presents an excellent, lucid critique of feminism, its context and results, with a gold mine list of internet links and resources. 'The result of the victory of feminism has been disorder cascading from America throughout the world, from the most immediate personal relationships to high culture and international politics. It must therefore be opposed as a destructive fanaticism based on a gross and wilful misapprehension of human life. In the end feminism cannot win because it radically undermines any stable and productive ordering of private life. It has done a great deal of damage, however, and will do much more before it destroys itself. The more explicit, articulate and successful its opponents the more damage can be prevented. Hence this page.'"

Neil Steyskal writes "Here's a new woman columnist that we can enjoy promoting:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/fiori3.html"

As always (this is Thomas writing now) I don't agree with everything that the author of this essay says, but I still loved reading this essay by a good woman, who tears into feminism. One of the things that I respect about Fiori is the fact that, while she holds women primarily responsible for the lunacy and evil of feminism, she doesn't just let men off the hook. (Note her statement, "To the decent men, if you think you're getting the shaft economically and socially now, just continue to sit back like a bunch of feminine cowards and let things continue to deteriorate.")

I think you'll, on the whole, appreciate Fiori's perspective. Enjoy!

Dan Lynch writes "I thought fair is fair and I would now post more stuff on how Capitalists go out of their way to slam men. Back when I was teaching self-defence to women in large groups I too used to spout the myth that 1 in 4 women were raped. I now regret this and do what I can to reverse that ignorant lie by Mary Koss. Though I didn't realize it I was just trying to create business for myself. Using scare tactics to convince women to train under me. Here is a new Jacket for women and women only. It is a defensive electrical jacket. Though the idea is a good one they don't make jackets for men and they specifically target men as the only perpetrators of violence or the possible attacker, which is also blatenly false. It is a capitalist venture that terrorizes women and demonizes men all in one shot. Good money."
