Neil Steyskal writes "The Washington Post reported here about a DC Police Dept. evaluation of their handling of family violence cases. The study interviewed only women. Let's remind them, again, about the men victims. Write to: letters@washpost.com"

Robert Cunningham wrote in about a proposed tax in Australia for the "guilty party" in a divorce, and brought up some interesting points: "A "Divorce tax on the guilty party" is a retrograde step! Why increase suffering? Rather it is helpful to try to reduce the suffering of those who are divorcing, both men and women. Marriage is extremely important, especially when children are involved! But couples ought not to be forced to stay together who ought to separate. The goal is shared parenting, not forced marriages. The response of Michael Green to this article is most pertinent. Michael Green has a web-site at fathersafterdivorce.com You can send him an email, via the web site."

I just read another article about how the feminists are being financed by the federal government, and it seems like the feds might even be funding Yates' legal defense!" While I didn't see anyting in the article that stated that money is directly going from federal programs to Yates' defense, these two articles, taken together, strongly suggest that it could be done.

Stan Hayward writes "A questionnaire on parental alienation set up by Families Need Fathers in the UK is getting many responses from around the world, and in particular from the USA. Check out the website at www.fnf.org.uk for the main site, and click here for the questionnaire. It is permitted for this questionnaire to be used by other fathers groups."

Steve wanted to announce a new on-line resource for people to focus on stopping male bashing and anti-male bias. Appropriately, it is titled Stop Anti-Male Bias and is a Yahoo! Club. Their mission is: "This club is dedicated to promoting a gender-neutral approach to equality, and stopping the destructive influence of anti-male bias in the media, legislation, and general society. "Don't get mad - take action""

This story in The Sunday Times is as much an insult to men as the accusatory college campus urinals we discussed recently. It seems that some bars in South Africa have decided to put one-way mirrors between men's and women's restrooms so that women can see men at their most vulnerable. They've installed couches in the women's restrooms so that the women can sit "in comfort" and gawk (and laugh) at males. I wonder how long it would take a woman in the reverse situation to file a lawsuit?

Rams sent in this link to an ESPN article about a proposed male-only golf course in Arizona. The club is meant to be specifically geared toward "serious, low-handicap golfers" and will be limited to about 500 members. Is this the 'ol boy network at work, or is it truly analogous to women's health clubs? In any case, it is believed that the club will be legal because it does not serve the public and has a small number of members.

This story, which originally appeared in the Biose State U.'s The Arbiter claims that female graduates from the college will make less than male graduates for doing the same jobs. Interestingly, the subject quoted in this article does hint that women often choose lower-paying careers than men, but blames this on the way daughters are reared. She shoots down her own blame of The Patriarchy, though, by also claiming that "Women are traditionally not only child-bearers, but also caregivers." So... it's women who are rearing women to take on those smaller paying positions, then? Well, perhaps feminists should then be looking for ways to defeat the "Matriarchy."

A 40 percent increase in male enrollment at Texas Christian University this year has caused dramatic housing problems on campus, according to this story on Excite News. Many freshman males are being housed in frat houses and residence hall lounges until better accomodations can be made. The campus provides more housing for females than males "because of the female-to-male ratio," the story says. I wonder, though, if male dorms would be forced to house female students for a time if the roles were reversed?

Neil Steyskal writes "Here's the latest front in the Title IX war. Women are suing to coach men's teams." The article brings up a very valid controversy about the nature of discrimination. Read it here from TownHall.com and think. Thanks also to Not PC for sending this in.

Writer Steven Berkoff says rape laws should be changed to protect men from false accusations. This comes after a woman recently filed rape charges against him. Berkoff, who has claimed to be a male feminist, now says "I have dedicated my life to love and to women and to relationships," he said. "In my poetry and plays I have castigated men for what they have done to women. "I have done nothing wrong and nothing to be ashamed of. All I can say is I will not be vindictive." Berkoff, at the Edinburgh festival with his new play The Secret Love Life of Ophelia, said: "I used to be a feminist. Now I'm a misogynist. Update: I was just made aware that I neglected to post the link to the original article. My humblest apologies. :(

Robert Cunningham writes "Gender feminists join forces with traditional conservatives in promoting that women deserve special treatment, even when children are killed! I thought a crime was a crime was a crime. You might like to send Janet Albrechtsen, the author of this article an email for presenting the case in lucid form that equality does not mean just in the work force, or providing services for female victims of domestic violence. NO, NO, NO. Equality also means that men and women ought to receive the same punishment for the same crime. And also the same compassion, where appropriate!"

An interesting article from the Spectator about France, it seems that the French actually protected the traditional breadwinner role of men, by keeping heavy industry around, and unlike alot of western countries they're better off. The writer seems to think this is a bad thing however, towing the rad-fem line at a point, Still, it's an interesting read so click here to read it. On a side note, I have been thinking about how heavy industry might be regenerated in the west to help men out, do any of you have some ideas?

Robex writes "I came across this article in the UK Independent by a columnist called Natasha Walter. It was written in response to Doris Lessing's (a well known feminist) recent assertion in the UK National press that it is "Time for men to hit back." Lessing was referring to the brow beating of boys and the male gender in UK schools and their subsequent poor exam performances. Natasha Walter's heart apparently "sank" when she read Lessing's words because she does not know where the smug and complacent females referred to by Lessing are.

frank h writes "In this article on toogoodreports.com, Dr. Gerald Rowles provides a rebuttal to Dr. Peggy Drexler's "Moms are Enough" piece submitted a few days ago. Needless to say, Dr. Rowles and I agree 100%." It's great to see a printed rebuttal. Now if only the LA Times would print some of those Letters to the Editor.
