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:

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.'"

The Gonzo Kid writes "Hmmm. Anyone notice this? This story reports that the violent and demeaning hazing incident that took place in Illinois was fueled in part by alchohol provided by the mothers of two of the girls, one the mother of a junior. Anyone taking any bets these are single mothers?"

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."

ih8hillary writes "If you think there is anti-male bias in Walmart(HOME OF CHINESE ARMY BX/PX)you are dead wrong.Try Abilene,Texas in Hendrick Health Center where hugging is a hideous crime.I started to work there in August of 2000 and met a girl named Sheila who worked in the o/r.She would always come to my place of work and pick up supplies.She started being friendly with me and we always talked about things.I would always give her a hug and she had no problem with it.She even encouraged it sometimes.Never told me to stop unless people would be in danger of seeing her.All of a sudden she tells her o/r supervisor on me .The o/r supervisor tells my supervisor to tell me to stop.At the time my supervisor tells me about this,I have no idea she was referring to Sheila unitl I went to her work place and confront her and found out she ratted me out.I later told one of her coworkers to tell her i didnt want to see her again.So a few days later i get called by human resources and get fired for retalliation and hugging.The messege I have got is that it is ok for a nurse to hug a doctor but for a supply guy it is taboo.Also while I was being fired ,I was up against 3 women and no male present.Now I HATE hENDRICK AND ANYTIME I SEE A NURSE I SEE RED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Philalethes writes "Save the Males is a very well-designed web site by a Canadian university professor who woke up when he was 'slandered and removed for encouraging debate.' Lots of excellent articles, links and other material on feminism, as well as its close relation to the "New World Order" conspiracy program. 'Feminism has achieved enormous power in society because it serves the long-term elite agenda of destabilizing society and reducing population. The elite's goal is "New World Order"--a United Nations-based global government that uses the arbitrary power of the state to promote the agenda of monopoly capital. It is the “left” in the service of the “right.”' Henry Makow is also the author of A Long Way to go for a Date , the story of 'his quest for love and masculine identity at a time when both are under siege in America.' He married a woman from the Philippines (she's a doll, BTW); a while back in a MANN forum I was trying to remember where I saw this site; I'm glad to have found it again."Special note: Makow has been mentioned here before with his views on sept/11. Not everyone here agrees thats for sure, but I still believe Makow has done his homework in areas such as showing how supporters of Nazism turned to supporting Feminism after the war. If some people are to sensitive to his writings I will withdraw the post. Thank you , your friend Dan Lynch.
