"Busted" Documentary Covers Story of a Man's Abuse by His Girlfriend

Education Thru Communication writes, "It's called "BUSTED," and it captures the disturbing reality of the abusive, violent behavior of a woman after being rejected by the man she was living with. But she has no idea that her violence is being documented on video. So imagine her surprise when she gets busted by the evidence and the law. For people who don't realize men can be victims of domestic abuse, "BUSTED" is a shocking, rare glimpse behind the scenes of the domestic battlefront. For men who know the truth, "BUSTED" is a lesson. As one reviewer put it... "A remarkable story of one man's battle in the legal system... to demonstrate, in no uncertain terms, that he was the victim."

DNA Clears Five Convicted Men of 1989 Rape

Anonymous User writes "CourtTV has been closely following new DNA evidence which has apparently cleared five men who were convicted of raping a Central Park jogger in 1989. The gruesome crime (the jogger was severely beaten and her eyes were destroyed) was originally attributed to five youths. Four of them have already served complete sentences for it. DNA evidence has now exonerated those five after another convicted rapist and murderer confessed to the Central Park crime and provided his DNA as evidence. The story is here. What is most interesting is that the five youths eventually confessed to the crime themselves. They now say their confessions were coerced."

DV Campaign "Coaches" Boys

CJ writes "The new phase for the Family Violence Prevention Fund is to 'coach' boys into becoming men, the program invites men to help end abuse by teaching boys that violence against women is always wrong. This is good idea, but one sided in approach. Perhaps this well funded organization could include some examples of violence against the male gender and include programs that ensure quality of life for both genders? I found out about this campaign through a banner ad on a high traffic corporate web page. FVPC is getting the word out that they think boys need to be changed. How long will it be before the campaign that states 'boys are bad and abusive' manifests in public classrooms? Lets help ensure gender parity on this issue before our young men are inflicted with more feminist funded psychological abuse."

Fictional Biases?

Trudy W Schuett writes "Among the other things I do, I'm a moderator at the FictionAddiction forum. This may seem like small potatoes, but it's home to about 800 members and many more visitors. The other day, a feminist posted a work about killing men at the critique forum. I spoke my mind and am tonight getting thrashed for it by both sexes. Help me out here, guys! This is one thing where you can make a clear, immediate difference! Blessings and peace! T_____"

Girls Also at Increased Risk for Using Violence When Witnessing it at Home

SJones writes "A surprising article (for Reuters) about how witnessing family violence influence both the boy and the girl to an increased likelihood of violence in the future is found here. They are dropping this article down and down in their list as quickly as possible. Since I found it the article has already dropped from 5th story to 8th and disappeared from my screen."

Child's Best Interest Group Promoting Shared Parenting Legislation

Anonymous User writes "Child's Best Interest claims to work toward shared parenting legislation in all states, advocating for both parents (not just fathers and not just mothers). It distances itself from the label "father's rights." Interestingly, 8 out of 10 candidates endorsed by CBI were elected this past election day."

Scotland Pledges Funds for Suicide Prevention

Douglas Rome writes, "Here is the horrifying truth about male suicide in Scotland. The "experts", of course, have no idea why suicide among men is so very many times higher than for women." With the suicide rate increasing 22% over the past 20 years, and the rate of male to female suicides at 3:1, the fact that this issue has been of such low priority for so long is appalling. Also shocking: "For men under 35 in Scotland, suicide is the biggest single cause of death and exceeds the number of accidental deaths"

Handling "Emotional Bullies"

Anonymous User writes "Wendy McElroy's FoxNews article this week contains some lessons in argument we could all use to our advantage. In it she talks a little about dealing with "emotional bullies" and emotional bullying is something many feminists are really good at. Her article is here and another good article about emotional bullying is here."

How to Hire a Lawyer

Anonymous User writes "One of the biggest mistakes men make when confronted with family court is hiring the wrong lawyer. Dishonest lawyers abound in family law, most of them wanting only to squeeze another buck off an already beaten man. A story on bcentral suggests ways of sorting out the honest lawyers from the dishonest."

Mary Daly's Advocacy of Male Gendercide

Anonymous User sent us this article and writes "Brian Carnell exposes feminist Mary Daly's views on gendercide, her advocacy for killing all men." From the article:

"Daly has long advocated for research into parthenogenesis to dispense with men. Her book, Quintessence is half-science fiction novel, half bizarre manifesto in which she explicitly lays out her views. Daly herself is a character in the book who visits a utopian continent where -- thanks to the influence of Daly's books -- a lesbian elite reproduce solely through parthogenesis....what Daly is advocating here is nothing short of gendercide, and yet Daly is taken seriously by radical feminists."

Biased Report attacks Fathers Who Have Been Accused of Abuse

CJ writes "This Boston Globe article outlines the non-empirical method upon which feminists gather "statistics" that will support their biased view of gender/family relations. The report drew a sharp response from critics, including the chief justice of the family court system, who condemned the study as skewed because it relied on testimony only from women with complaints about custody decisions, not from those satisfied with the rulings. The author goes on to say that men who are abusers (accused of abuse)were often given custody or liberal visitation rights(?). In MA, all a woman has to do is claim 'abuse' and the system often imprisons the father, and in most cases the family courts strips him of constitutional rights as a result."

Ex-Domestic Violence Leader Charged in Murder

ppmnow sent us this article from the News Tribune and writes "A custody battle, an exchange of words, and an innocent woman shot dead...by another woman. Clearly feminists are becoming much less clever at hiding their violence, and no longer afraid of shooting their own gender." The murderer was Lorraine Laxton, who formerly chaired the Federal Way Domestic Violence Task Force. She left this position "abruptly," as co-workers were concerned about her " frightening temper and penchant for carrying handguns." Thanks also to Mark Rosenthal for submitted this version from the Seattle Times.
