masculinism writes "G'Day from Sydney Australia. You would have to question the Justice Department's description of DV. It is so 'gender specific' as to indicate that a male experiencing DV is an impossibility. Under 'Who Commits DV:........in recent years, some studies suggest women use violence in intimate relationships as frequently as men do. These studies are refuted by credible members of the domestic violence discipline, particularly batterers' treatment providers, who are concerned about flaws in such studies:..........
The DV description for the Justice Department must have been handed over to the feminist lobby.

I have started watching CNN with my son. . .the journalist male and female are extremely anti-male. Watch as they nearly jump out of there seat when someone attempts to stand up for a boy or man. Every criminal women must be a victim. . .Evey man is guilty and should be exicuted or at least extreme punishment. They do have an older gentlemen that attempts to look and talk about things realistically; however, the other journalist always and very quickly, shuts him up. My son is learning the dangers of being male in today's society and I will do everything in my power to make him understand that he is, the very good person he is. . .reguardless of the schools, courts, tv, or societies general anti-male sentiment. I teach and prove (thanks CNN) the real threat and dangers of dating (especially having sex with a)women these days. Men loose their jobs, careers, property, money, health, they are very regularly and often wrongly imprisoned to be beaten and raped, just to name a few. . . Nobody cares (society). I myself am afraid and have chosen (if I still have that right) to NOT get on the elevator with the snake. . . I'll take the stairs too.

This article in the UK Independent tells of how Nadine Milroy–Sloan falsely accused former Tory minister Neil Hamilton and his wife, Christine Hamilton, of sexual assault. It looks like she may actually do time for her monstrous crime. According to Christine Hamilton, "The whole thing was preposterous and false. It was a deeply frightening experience."

Now Ms Hamilton has an idea of how so many falsely accused men feel. It's also interesting that in the article's title the Independent refers to the horrendous crime as a "slur."

This article may only be accesible to AOL subscribers or NYTimes subscribers, I'm not sure. It is about all of the new video games where strong, independent, sexy, sultry, intelligent women beat the living crap out of men. Of course, the focus of this idiotic piece is how this is harmful TO WOMEN!!!! I couldn't believe it either. Mark"

Ok folks, here goes the first week of Ask Ads where you ask your questions and I (along with the regulars) try to answer 'em. So let's begin.

Luek writes "This is an article about an Air Force Academy cadet charged with raping a female cadet. His name is printed for all the world to see but not the female accusor's.

This man has not been convicted of any criminal act so why should his name be dragged through the mud? This is always the pattern when the media reports alledged man on woman crime. The man is always named but the female accusor is never mentioned so as to protect her precious sensitivities. And of course women never make false allegations of rape or other crimes as we all know!"

Andrew74 writes "
This just makes me sick. It's unbelievable, I don't know what to say. It's great to know that only society's standards and the chance of getting caught stop most women from abandoning their families.

Some background history to this story:
Dar Heatherington is a city alderman that made accusations of kidnapping, stalking, and rape when she was found in Las Vegas after disapearing on a trip to Great Falls. She was questioned by the police, her story fell apart, and she admitted that she made the whole story up and had really just ran off with a married man."

" This female 'cadet' downs six shots of tequila in a men's
dorm, then has sex. Guess who's fault it is?"

by Dave Nevers

"And she went to the men's dorm after having drunk alcohol already and
then downed another six shots of tequila.

However, the rape- and various associated charges in the case are for
a good cause, to save the woman's reputation (the sex was apparently
okay):

Defense counsel Capt. Kathleen Reder suggested the woman
reported the incident because she was worried her
boyfriend, also a cadet, would be angry with her for having
sex and that her reputation would be tarnished.

The man's reputation doesn't matter; to save the woman's, the man's
reputation needs to be destroyed. That is part of the price to be
paid for female "liberation" and "equality".

The moral of the story is, if you are a woman who has had illicit sex
and was found out, offence is the best defence: LAY RAPE CHARGES!
Chances are it will work more often than not in the woman's favour; if
not, so what! There are no consequences for women for lying in the
courts.

There's nothing new about any of that." Here's some points you'll find interesting.

Luek writes "This article is about a woman who kills her 2 young sons and tries to kill a third on Mother's Day weekend. This story is almost an exact copy of the Andrea Yates horror of a couple of years ago and in the same state (Texas) believe it or not! I am betting she will get no more than 10 years because her defense team will play somekind of B.S. abuse excuse card!"

Tatis writes ""As tragic as the death of a father is in a young child's life, it simply can't compare to the loss of a mother."

With these words syndicated columnist Linda Chavez spat on the American father and endorsed the justification under which millions of men have been involuntarily separated from the children who love them and need them. Glenn Sacks and his guests will fire back at Chavez and remind audiences of the importance of fathers in children's lives on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles at 11 PM on Sunday, May 18."

Richard Green, M.D. writes " The Heinz foundation awarded
child support queen Geraldine Jensen a Heinz Award for achievement in public policy. Ms. Jensen is a strong proponent of blatantly unfair presumptive child support guidelines and draconian child support enforcement. She is an enemy of fathers. Heinz should be targetted for boycott.
Regards, Richard Green, M.D."

MrDave writes "Communist leader Leon Trotsky observed, 'You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.' ... A perfect view of the war on men ... In the 1930's, in Germany, perceptive Jews escaped to England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, or the USA, fleeing the war of death on their horizon ... Today, where can men escape the war on us?? ... Nowhere in the USA is safe ... Male-bashing is endemic in Canada, Australia, and the U.K. ... I have stopped trying to stem the tidal wave of anti-man attitudes ... I have come to the conclusion that stoping it is impossible ... Now I simply want to get away from this war on men ... Is there any place, anywhere, where a man can escape?" While I did post about such a place in the first Ask Ads announcement, running away will only make things get much worse.

CPM writes "Court Appearance for Texas Woman Charged in Sons' Deaths

OK I'll get the ball rolling... I suppose she had post-partum psychotic mestrual patriarchal oppression depression/psychosis! Perhaps we can even invent a few more. Also, lets not forget any men who happen to be nearby. For it is not Miss Laney who did this, some man somewhere must certainly be totally responsible for this horrible tragedy.

"We all believe as a family that this wasn't our Dee that did this to her children," I sincerely sympathize with this family, but I can assure you that it was Dee who did this. She said so herself!

"I'm not sure if she can truthfully say she understands what is going on," Files told the judge.

Perhaps a needle in the arm will help to enlighten this "petite" "wide-eyed" angelic picture of innocence.

"bashed their heads in with a rock," Sheriff J.B. Smith said.
I'll see you in hell Miss Laney; you can room with me..."

I will host this week's MANN chat, Wednesday
night (5/14), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. MANN
has a new chat server! The
topic for this chat will be "Gearing Up for Men's Health Week."  href="http://www.menshealthweek.org/imhw/imhw.htm">International Men's
Health Week will be observed June 9-15, 2003.  The organizers
of Men's Health Week want to raise awareness about health issues that
affect men.  Various men's health events are planned all over the
world during this week.  What can we as men's activists do to
celebrate International Men's Health Week and make the public more
aware of men's health concerns?  Join us at the style="font-weight: bold;">new MANN chat server as we share
ideas to celebrate this important week.  Tell a friend or two!

What with our buddy, Hootie at Augusta National, standing up to the lunatic fembots, and now men like Vijay Singh and Nick Price daring to forthrightly speak the truth, I'm becoming quite the fan of golfers, if not the sport itself. This Sports Illustrated article reports on the ploy of allowing the Swedish woman, Annika Sorenstam, to play in the PGA's Colonial next week.

Women have the LPGA. By letting a woman play in a PGA tournament, the sports powers-that-be nudge out a man, who would otherwise have gotten to play (a man who might well clean the links with Sorenstam).

Maybe it's time to eliminate special teams and leagues for women. Then again, maybe we should create separate teams and leagues for every special interest group that can't measure up. If I were in college, I wouldn't make the basketball team because I am not tall enough and I'm no longer as fast and agile as I once was. Maybe there should be a separate basketball league for people over 40, who are within 4 inches of average height (and yet another league for those who are shorter). The league should receive equal government funding, of course, and the public should be guilt tripped into attending games.

On the other hand, maybe there should be one team per sport per school, and the best men and women should get to be on the team.
