mcc99 writes "Amazing. This article discusses new BCPs that cause the menstrual cycle to be elongated to three months instead of monthly. The article discusses the many benefits of doing so while quoting some misandrist as follows:

"'Cultures have long had many practices to manage the taboo and stigma of menstruation over the years. You can see them all as ways of managing women's behavior,' said Joan Chrisler, a professor of psychology at Connecticut College in New London, Conn., and president of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research. 'Many feminists would say that misogyny is at the base of it.'"

Meanwhile, men still have the same-old options for birth control: abstinence, homosexuality, masturbation, condoms, and sterilization. We apparently don't merit the serious option of reversible BCPs though these are entirely a workable option."

I will host this week's MANN chat, Wednesday
night (3/12), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the href="http://www.mensactivism.org/chat.shtml">usual location. The
topic for this chat will be "The Power of Protests in Men's Activism."
 We'll discuss NCFM-DC's
recent successful href="http://www.mensactivism.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/1738221&mode=threaded">protest
of Martha Burk in MacLean, Virginia.  We'll consider the factors
that made the protest successful, discuss the lessons we can learn from
it, and share ideas for future protests related to men's issues.
 Join us at tonight's MANN chat and invite a friend or two!

A New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation is having a fund-raiser for prostate cancer. Please go to the post and check it all out. See if you can help or contribute. Or even just make it known that prostate cancer is a killer.

rage writes "Here is a link to the Raelian Cult website, whose scientists are said to have achieved the first human cloning a few months ago. So now they have taken to the following step : artificial wombs. To me, this news gives evidence that incubators are on their way in the short-run, else this Cult wouldn't have committed itself to the project.
Once achieved, this breakthrough will ensure men's freeedom from women, we will be able to have our own children without resorting to a woman's womb, so no woman won't be able to steal our kids away from us in the courts any more.

This article discusses how men in New Zealand have been emasculated by government. Discarded and down-trodden.

equalitarian62 writes "Today I found an online article in MSN titled "The Black Gender
Gap." Apparently, misandry and anti-male bias is even worse in the
black community. The article is here:

http://www.msnbc.com/news/875614.asp

I'm not against black women advancing so much as the way they put black men down in this article. For example, saying that educated professional black women face a choice of being alone or "settling" for less-educated black men several steps below them. How condescending.

starzabuv writes "Actually, since I just heard it on the 10:00 pm news, there isn't anything in print yet. Just an FYI to keep your eyes open for the story. First she stabbed the guy in the arm, then ran him over, breaking both of his legs. He's recuperating at Herman Hospital in serious condition, and she is on the run in a white ford taurus stationwagon. Since men have known these things happen all the time but the stories of women's violence are either suppressed or glossed over by blaming the man, maybe we are seeing a new trend in reporting? Maybe. Maybe not."

CPM writes "Teacher back in jail on allegations she was at boy's home

I have so many issues with this story but don't have time to write them now. Here is another link of a woman raping another boy student. So I will just post it now and hopefully jump in later." I wanted to make this all on one thread. To show how underage boys who were raped then forced to pay child support and the government who rewards them. This piece will piss you off.

Harriet Harman wants a change to the Law in the UK whereby Provocation should no longer be a valid defence in a Murder trial. However, while reading the article it is quite clear, in my opinion that what she is actually advocating is for female on male murder to be legalised. Shocking."

Thundercloud. writes "Just a little 'heads-up', for everyone.
I just saw on "ENTERTAIMENT TONIGHT" that yet another "women gang-up on and get "revenge" on a man" movie is comeing out, soon.

It's the standard premise:
Man cheats on the woman, abuses the woman, or is just a "jerk" to the woman. of course this is the "excuse" that is given to justify women commiting crimes and illeagle acts against men. this film features the usual stuff. The women beat up and kidnap the man and keep him bound and gagged to a bed while they humiliate, touture and physicaly abuse him. blah, blah, blah. Things that NO movie today would EVER depict being done to a woman.
Aparently, women LOVE these male-bondage/hate films, and that is why the same type of film is made again and again.
Here's the kicker. I don't know what the name of the movie is. All I know is that it stars an all hispanic cast.
We need to keep an eye out for this flick, then give thje producers HELL for it, without mercy!!

Here is something that discusses the other side of the coin. Not intending to offend any other of our posters who are not caucasian. But, I wanted to post this to see how everyone feels on how white men feel they are getting the shaft. My intention is to bring us closer together. Enjoy.

CodeMonkey writes "The Massachusetts state budget allocated to prostate cancer research and awareness has gone from $3.2 million a few years ago to NOTHING today. According to this MetroWest Daily News article, 765 men in MA died of this disease in 2000. What's even more sickening about this is that state funding for breast cancer is barely being cut, to about $3 million. Breast cancer killed 1,055 women in 2000. The injustice of this, and the discrimination it amounts to, are absolutely incredible. Where is the public outcry from Mass. men and medical professionals?"

I wish to congradulate all the men with the balls to stand up and protest. Here is the link to the photos of what is described as "What a Day!". Take some time to take a look make some comments and maybe discuss further rallies. Thanks Tom and all.

I really enjoyed this Ray Peterson commentary, maybe you will too. It rings true for todays man. "The husband meanwhile is without support, resources, friends or legal protection while he lives in his parent's basement or in his car and wonders what the hell happened."
