SJones refutes the idea that women are incapable of violent crime (and the light tone with which the media portrays it) with the following examples from recent news: "An Iranian woman cut off her husband's ear with a knife after he simply asked her why she was late coming home. He reported to police that she becomes extremely angry easily and often beats him up. The story is here.

A gang of armed and dangerous pregnant women in Ecuador went on a crime spree and said they did not care who saw them because sexist Ecuadoran law places pregnant women above the law. After their pregnancy tests came back positive the police were forced to release them all. The story is here.

Two 14 year old girls robbed a bank in New York and their mother drove the getaway car. The story is here.

A South African man died after his wife became angry with him and grabbed him by the testicles, squeezing and causing him unbearable pain from which he passed out and never recovered. The story is here.

A Cambodian woman murdered her husband with repeated axe strikes to the genitals so that she could run away with her son-in-law. The story was, of course, dumped into the Oddly Enough news as if it were nothing but a joke."

AFG writes "These video links show what the radical feminists don't want you to see. During a conference discussing domestic violence and shared parenting in Canada, Senator Anne Cools (who has fought for the rights of both sexes) was repeatedly shouted down by militant man-hating feminists. At certain times, they even attempted to get the camera shut off, as they didn't want their misandry exposed. One ray of hope at the conference: Most of the audience applauded Cools whenever she stood up to the feminists. I would like to extend my support and thanks to Senator Cools for standing up for what is right and for what is fair. And here is a link to Anne Cools' site (if anyone wants to send her a thank you note)."

Matt Campbell writes "This is a good article questioning the efficacy of DV-related mandatory arrest laws. Still, the article fails to mention that half of DV cases are women assaulting men, though at least it mentions DV vs. men a little more more than in passing. But it also does not discuss the anti-male judicial bias in DV cases, even ones where men were clearly the victim."

Aleph Null writes "Check out this link at the IRS web site. Notice the genders of the presumed child support offenders - always male! File your complaints here. You can also include a reference to statistics which indicate that non-custodial moms are more likely to be in arrears than non-custodial dads."

frank h writes "This story concerns two successful suicides and one attempted suicide within in the span of one week in the Pioneer Central School District near Buffalo, New York. As I sit here shaking my head, all I can say is Isn't about time someone started to investigate why our sons are doing this?!"

Anthony Davis was almost killed in a knife attack by his ex-girlfriend. His defense is that he defended himself by punching his assailant. She got black eyes; he almost died; he was arrested. Read about it here.

Glenn will discuss the increasing trend towards men as primary caregivers of children with host Madeleine Randall on ABC Radio's Early Morning program in Australia on Monday, November 18 at 8:30 am PST. You can listen to the show via the Internet.

FoxNews has recently commented on an article by Wendy McElroy that elaborates on how feminism destroys the lives of people who dare to contradict it.

[T]he media should stop treating slander as though it was a counter-argument. When men who question feminist data are bashed as batterers, reporters should demand hard evidence for this criminal charge.

Glenn will discuss anti-male hostility on college campuses and his new article "Why Males Don't Go to College" (She Thinks, 11/12/02) on the Charles Goyette Show on Friday, November 15 at 5 PM PST on KFYI AM 550 in Phoenix, AZ. Listeners can call the show at (602) 258-5394 or e-mail the host. For more information, go to GlennSacks.com.

equalitarian62 writes, "American Furniture Warehouse (in Colorado) has a commercial that shows a man and his wife on an old squeaky mattress. The man is uncomfortable with the mattress and keeps tossing and turning, which obviously annoys his wife. The wife then suddenly grabs a frying pan and hits him over the head! After this “humor,” the viewer is told that that there is a sale on at American Furniture Warehouse. To send an email of protest, see this page."

In his latest article, "Why Males Don't Go to College," men's issues columnist Glenn Sacks blasts American universities as "hostile environments" for males. He takes readers into the classrooms of his old alma mater, UCLA, to expose the bigotry which college men face on a daily basis. He also skewers what he calls the "timid male professors who are so content with their own careers that they were perfectly willing to allow 18 year-old boys to be beat up on rather than jeopardize their own comfort by speaking out" against anti-male bigotry.

Glenn will discuss the article on the Al Rantel Show tonight (Wednesday, November 13) at 7 PM PST on AM 790 KABC in Los Angeles. Listeners can call in to the show at 1-800-222-KABC.

Steve writes "I will host this week's MANN chat, Wednesday night
(11/13), starting at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, at the usual location. The topic
for this chat will be 'Toward Male-friendly Family Law.'  I think most
men's activists would agree that there are many problems with the family
law system and that the system generally discriminates against men.  To
effect positive change, it might help to consider what a reformed family
law system would look like.  What is your vision of a male-friendly
system of laws relating to marriage and divorce?    Join us at
this week's MANN chat to share your vision and learn from others.  Invite
a friend or two to join you!"

CJ writes "The Boston Globe has recognized that men are abused by women by publishing Cathy Young's excellent article that points out that domestic violence policies are all too often influenced by an outdated, one-sided, and sexist view of abuse."

Marc writes "Please check out the website National Coalition of Free Men, Los Angeles chapter, and sign our guesbook! We could use your support and feedback. Be sure to click on "flyer." That cute little boy smiling at you on the upper left is Ray. He grew up to become a battered male and a Vietnam Vet, and he's now one of NCFM's most active members! In fact he designed the flyer! Oh, and don't forget to click on "activist projects" to see the letters of support for a commission for men coming from leaders all over the community. The declaration by Patricia Overberg at the top names the DV shelters who abused and mistreated her just because she dared to make some space for male victims. Big thanks to Warble and his friend for designing the website, to Ray for designing the flyer, to all chapter members for their hard work, to NCFM national for their support and for a start-up grant, and to everyone else for their support as well and for being part of a movement that will not stop, ever, until we see equal justice for men. Of course there's much more in site for our site, but this is what we have so far and we'd love to hear from you in our guestbook. Thanks!"
