Now here's an excellent looking book, It's Equality: A Man's Claim
by Alan Millard, The website gives you a good preview of the book, and it's a very interesting perspective
written there. It's quite an eye opener, even for us folk in the know. The book is 563-pages long
and at only $14.95, There's no excuse for not getting this book, Since my sources tell me this book gives Warren Farrell's work a serious run for it's
money, You know where to take it from here.

Luek writes "Seems like Progressive Insurance just can't stop being misandric in the image they project to the public.

This time these misandric idiots have put a nude picture of an 82 year old man in their annual report! Would a nude picture of an elderly female ever be used? I don't think so!

I recently got a junkmail solicitation from Progressive offering me insurance. When I read this article I fished it out of my trash barrel and sent the self-hating male president, Glenn Renwick a letter containing the junkmail solicitation and the following note along with a copy of the article about the nude man.

Attn: Glenn M. Renwick
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Mr. Renwick,

Enclosed in this correspondence you will find a solicitation letter from
your company offering me insurance.

Also you will find a news report about the use of a picture of a nude
elderly man used in your annual report.

Even though I am currently in the market to find the best insurance
rates I will have to pass up your offer due to the situation mentioned
above. I prefer my insurance carrier to have a more mature attitude
about the image they project to the public. I am afraid yours is lacking in this regard."""

Dear Mr. Renwick:

I am writing to you regarding a commercial that you are running. The commercial in question is the voodoo commercial with Kate Martin. This commercial is highly offensive to me and to other males in this country. Every time I see it I want to throw a brick at my television.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to think that airing a commercial over and over depicting a supposedly jilted, revengeful female relentlessly sexually humiliating a male using voodoo and her computer is going to make other males buy your insurance. Are you under the mistaken impression that is does? What kind of message is this type "advertising" sending to young, impressionable minds in country?

I expressed these thoughts at your web site and a female replied that this was a humorous way to sell insurance and that it would continue. Well, male bashing is NOT funny to males and it is going to stop. Let's see a commercial where the tables are turned and it is a female being made a complete fool of and routinely discarded like yesterday's trash under the guise of humorous advertising. That would be on the air about 2 seconds before the women's groups had it removed!

You are spending much money I am sure to run this GARBAGE which is making males NOT buy your insurance. You don't have to be a rocket scientist, Mr. Renwick, to see that there might be an error in this plan.

I would not buy your insurance if it were the only insurance on the planet. Nor will anyone else over whom I have any control. Further, I am going to post this letter to every male movement web site I can find. Hopefully, you will receive additional letters in this regard.

I hope that I have your attention and that this trash will be removed from the air and replaced with a commercial where the male is NOT the subject of humiliation to the delight of a "victimized" female such as "Ms". Martin.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Gerald Rowles has just written a follow-up called The Machismo Monologues
It's quite good, I know you'll like it. I think this was a good trilogy of articles don't you?

For defying higher court orders a judge was hauled of to jail for 'contempt'. This particular judge is quite the 'biased' advocate for domestic violence cases, so it is an interesting read as well as an important precedent for men's advocates.

Speaks for itself

Note the editorial notes that 56% of higher ed students are female, but only 42% of college athletes are female. It fails to even point out the fact, by its own admission, that there are 6% more female students in higher ed than male. And of course the matter of interest in the sports, from students or spectators, goes unmentioned as factors for *anything*.

But what do we expect of the Times these days? Seeing more then one side of a debate? Not anymore!"

Male victims of domestic violence shared their stories of abuse and anti-male bias on His Side with Glenn Sacks last night on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles. Victims included Jim (attacked by his ex-wife with a butcher knife as he held their two month old baby in his arms), Benny (gouged and attacked with household objects by his ex-wife) and Ray (a Vietnam veteran attacked by his ex-wife on several occasions, causing permanent injury). Also, Marc Angelucci of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Coalition of Free Men discussed the lawsuit his group filed this week against 10 state-funded domestic violence shelters in the Los Angeles area for discriminating against male victims.

Other topics discussed included: anti-male police and judicial bias in domestic violence matters; what Angelucci called the domestic violence industry's "cover-up" of male victims; the Socorro Caro murder/domestic violence case; and the uniquely agonizing position abused fathers often find themselves in.

His Side with Glenn Sacks is a new, men's and fathers' issues radio show hosted by columnist Glenn Sacks. To listen, an archived version of last night's show will be up on His Side with Glenn Sacks Archive this evening. To learn more about the show, how to listen live and how to support it, go to His Side with Glenn Sacks.

mcc99 writes "The NY Times continues to outdo itself on disseminating false information and misleading statistics favoring females. The latest installment can be found here

The myth of the "wage gap" between men and women is based on the false notion of aggregation-as-fact and presumption of equal outcomes with equal opportunities. What this and other articles on the matter fail to mention is that 1. women tend to gravitate for whatever reason to service sector jobs *despite* the "affirmative action" (legalized discrimination vs. men) that they enjoy in every sector, both high- and low-paying, of the economy, and 2. such factors as supply and demand for services and things like time in grade and experience on the job are not safely ignored, and when taken into account, show no wage disparity between men and women."

Following Bettina Arndt's request here's the article in question.
It looks like it turned out pretty well, so there's not much left to say apart from read it,
I guess....

Am I good at spotting social trends or what?
No sooner had I posted that, do I come across an article
written by Suzanne Fields calling men in general pigs for lashing out at 30 years and more of
rabid man hating, and then she slams us for not putting women in general first! I imagine she
and Devvy Kidd would
get on quite well....

The Gonzo Kid writes "This link This link has a story about three men jailed on charges of rape for almost a week on the sole word of a woman until a video caught her in her lie; showing that there was little in the way of a real investigation, and a rush to judgement. Prosecutors are described as embarassed. I should hope so! It still chaps me, though, that they are only "considering" bringing charges against the false accuser."

Raymond Cuttill writes "Ian Kelly about the new Child Support Agency assessment procedure and the fight with the CSA.


Richard Felson about his book "Violence and Gender Re-examined" that challenges the feminist view of violence against women.


News of women using sex against men (news??), a woman who wants to sell her father, mothers who don't want equality and men and boys who do.

All this on the March Men's Hour

Been ill but getting better. Hope you enjoy the show."

An interesting look
at changing gender dynamics from the nearest man's point of view, from the look of things,
It would seem the groundwork and support for our movement is starting to turn up for us to tap into. You'll probably have to fill out a
short form to read the article, but there's very little info to fill out to access it. Reading
this article, I was reminded of Esther Vilar's quote from
The Manipulated Man when she said "Men are at best praised for their steadfastness,
courage, reliability - all qualities useful to women" if you focus on certain quotes, you'll
probably get that feeling as well.

Thundercloud. writes "Look out everybody.
Here we go again with yet another malady that targets *women only*.
According to some of the news media I've listened to, women can now suffer from what is called "Hurried Woman Syndrome" or "H.W.S.".
This comes, apparently, from women "having it all". You know, a career, a husband, kids, house work, soccer practice, etc.
Funny, men have had similar if not even more responsibilities in life but notice there is no "hurried MAN syndrome".
Seems like every week there is a new ailment that targets women only.
With all these ailments, syndromes, maladies and "disorders" that effect only women, how come we always hear only about how "weak", geneticaly inferior and flawed MEN are...?
Hmmmmm.
