The Evolution of the Child Support Collection Racket

Luek writes "This article by Richard Green, M.D. explains how and why the corrupt child support collections racket became a corrupt racket over the years since the late 1980's. It proves the old adage, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." A must read and archive article for future reference."

Media Celebrates Amy Gehrig's Acquittal

alphamale writes "While this article was once again chosen from the Globe & Mail, I would like to point out that every major news site in Canada, as their top story, ran with the "Amy is innocent" headline. I'm too shocked, depressed and appalled to comment. Read the story for yourself. Something has to be done about this. If Amy had been a man, there would be protest marches in every major city in the Western Hemisphere. Well, okay, maybe not every major city, but there sure as heck would be a huge outcry in the media. Come guys, are we just going to sit back and let women like Amy go free? For how many decades are we going to allow women to not be held accountable for their actions? We need to "take back the day!""

More Women Terrorists Found

warble writes "In this LA Times story we find that more female (and male) terrorist have been rounded up in Singapore. This is proof that female involvement in terrorist activities is not isolated to a single woman in Palestine. However, the mention of the word “women” is almost accidental. In effect, the LA Times implies that a female can be a member of a terrorist group plotting to destroy U.S. targets, and yet they are not part of the criminal activities."

Radicals Vandalize UNH Fraternity House with "We Rape" Graffiti

The New Hampshire, the school newspaper at UNH, reported today that on last Thursday morning the slogan "We Rape" was painted on two sides of the Sigma Nu fraternity house. The actions came shortly after a civil lawsuit was announced against the fraternity by a female student who alleges to have been raped in the frat house last year. However, the criminal case was dropped, because DNA evidence exonerated one of the accused and was inconclusive about the second accused man. Not only that, but a University judicial hearing (which is a "kangaroo court" baised against men in cases like this) also found the two accused men "not responsible." Update: Foster's also has this story on the vandalism, including a photo of it.

Sacks: The Cost of Ignoring Female Abusers

warble writes "In this article, a statement by Dr Caro says it all: ""I was ashamed. I was embarrassed," he testified recently during the penalty phase of Socorro Caro's trial..." Until the public permits men to come forward, women will continue to commit acts of domestic violence with near impunity. Again, notice the complete absence of media coverage in the major networks. If this were a man, we would hear of the violence almost daily."

"Dead Broke" Dads Get More Press

This article in the notoriously misandrist Christian Science Monitor picks up on the problems so-called "deadbeat" dads are facing, and some of the protest surrounding the treatment of fathers in family court. Such aggressive pursuit of child-support dollars has not been without its problems - or critics. And perhaps surprisingly, the list of critics now includes more child-welfare advocates.

Judge Vilified as Victim Hater

warble writes "This article is about a female judge who is actually starting to get it. She is Judge Megan Lake Thornton in Fayette County, KY, and she is sending women to jail when they violate their own restraining orders. As usual the super-fems are spouting their hatred of judges that hold women accountable for their actions. It further reports on how the super-fems are seeking to reinforce the female victim status, and reports on how the super-fems vilify the judge as a victim hater."

Boys Can't be Raped?

alphamale writes "This article recently appeared in the Globe & Mail. It considers the question: "what if Amy Gehring was a man?" While the Globe article started off in a positive way, questioning what our reaction would have been had Amy been Tony, the article soon exposed the fictitious female double-standard. The author contends that had Amy been a man the whole situation would naturally been different because if the victim's had been girls they never would have wanted sex. I am tired of these lame female chauvinist lies, but read the article for yourself and decide."

Media Humanizes Female Terrorists, More Women Volunteer

An Anonymous User sent in this story from boston.com and writes: "
It is interesting that this article tries to humanize this female terrorist. I have not seen this done before for a terrorist."
Indeed the article does seem to attempt to make excuses for the woman's acts. Another interesting story in the Washington Times describes how more Palestinian women--apparently inspired by their sister--are volunteerign for terrorist campaigns.

Short Firewoman Sues for Discrimination

Captain Pistachio writes "In this article a woman too short to do her job as a firewoman claimed sex discrimination after she was taken off active duty." The fire dept. continued to employ her part-time as a trainer, but would not her, at 5'1" to be a firefighter. Unless you can show me a 5'1" male firefighter, I don't believe this is legitimate discrimination.

Trudy W Schuett writes "This article in the Ann Arbor News reports an odd partnership.
I can't tell if this is a good thing or not! I'm still shaking my head and saying, "Huh?""
While I'm all for men's and women's groups working together on common goals, this one is a big surprise, and I'm suspicious. We'll see how it turns out.

"Deadbeat" Dad Actually "Dead-Broke"

Neil Steyskal sent in this story from the New York Times (free registration required to read). The story is a feature about a man who is obligated to pay $899 a month in current and back child support.... The only job he says he can find is a part-time one at a Denver recreation center that pays $600 a month. When he does the math, Mr. Stribling said, he feels as if he is drowning. According to the story, Stribling is responsible for creating his own situation, but the judge created the payment problem by considering Stribling's "earning potential" and not his actual income.

Forced Fatherhood In The UK

I've found a very disturbing article about how the law can destroy the nearest man financially and emotionally when he becomes a dad. When you read the article, you'll start to see just how criminalized fatherhood is the West, and how the only option seems to be abstaining from relationships. The only real advice the article gives to the nearest man (unintentionally) is to not marry, as that seems to be how family courts make a large cut of their money. Of course, with comments in the article such as "Another important aspect of parenthood is financial provision for the mother," it's too easy to lose your cool.

Ford Advert Ruled Offensive

What is with Ford? If they're not pulling a "terrorised by tolerance" stunt (See Part 1 and Part 2 here), they're being pulled into court again for an advert condoning violence against men. Luckily, the case was won by J. Kirby Inwood, a Canadian men's advocate. To finish off, I found an archive of documents detailing Ford's hiring policies. I would advise you to check the archive, as this seems to go a lot deeper than you'd think.

New Bible to Reduce Use of Male Refrences

Lionheart writes "I just finished watching ABC News this evening and they ran a story stating the International Bible Society is going to ommit the word "man" and replace it with "person" and also the word "sons or son" and replace it with "children!" Can you believe it! Has anyone else heard this story yet? The story can also be found on FoxNews here." Update: ronn also submitted this story on the same topic.
