Marc Angelucci writes "Here's an interesting article on DNA evidence and it's gradual acceptance as an important tool not only to fight crime but to protect the innocent. The article mentions false accusations of rape. Click here for the ABA Journal article."

David Byron writes "I'm setting up a small web site to list and honor some of the women who are either strong critics of feminism, or involved in the men's movement somehow. Its not meant to be a resource as such, more a sort of "thank you". Please have a look, and add some more recommendations to the guestbook. Click here: Women Who Love Men"

Warren Farrell has just written a new article on his website, and as usual he defines the problems boys face with superb clarity and insight. He goes on to explain the double standards boys face and offers solutions for their problems, to quote him "When we seek to find boy's inner world, we will give a gift to our sons in the 21st Century." As always, he shows sensitivity to both sides of the issue, so be certain you read the article as soon as you can.

Patricia Hausman, a member of the Independent Women's Forum
has written a culture essay debunking Women's History Month, explaining how Marxist-feminists are the ones running the show. It also has an excellent counter argument against "men's dominance." What is that counter argument, you ask? You'll have to click here to find out.

Due to a hair-pulling deadline I have this week (yes, yet another!), I will be unable to post new stories to Mensactivism.org until the weekend. However, Adam, my lead co-administrator, will be taking over for the week and the site will still be updated with news. I'll be forwarding any e-mail news submissions to Adam, and if I seem a bit sluggish in responding to e-mail, please bear with me. Thanks to everyone who visits this site and especially thanks to Adam for filling in for me!

Regular readers will love this commentary by Debbie Schlussel on how fatherlessness makes men like Eminem. As this quote puts it, "It should be no surprise, in this world where Hillary Clinton tells us, "It Takes a Village [to raise your children]," that the child becomes a village idiot." The commentary is one of the most enjoyably vicious articles I've ever read in defense of fathers and to a lesser degree men in general. By the way can you give Debbie an Email of thanks and ask her for more articles like this? It's a small thing to do to encourage her to writ more articles like this.

Dave Burroughs writes, "Check this out: www.psychoexgirlfriend.com. They had this guy on Fox News the other night. His ex
girlfriend kept calling him with her threats and pleadings - sometimes several times a day for months. He got sick of it and set up this website. He has .mp3 files recorded from his phone message machine and has posted them unedited on his site. No doubt the feminists have some explanation for her behavior that lays the blame squarely on him." The audio files of her phone messages are extremely disturbing, hateful, hurtful, and manipulative. Don't listen to them if you have a weak stomach.

Last fall, we reported on the appalling actions of Columbia University's administration to pass a new Sex Discipline Policy that removes several fundamental rights of the accused in rape trials. Since then, a great deal of pressure has been put on Columbia, particularly by FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education). After failing to participate in a public discussion or Fox television interview on the policy, the directors of SAFER (an anti-rape program on campus) have called for a reform of the policy in the school's newspaper. Nothing has been done yet, but it looks like an opportunity for change. Read the latest update on the story here.

Bill Kuhl wrote up a review of last Friday's episode of 20/20 on the ABC television network. It covered an issue you won't find much talk about these days - gynecomastia. Assuming you haven't heard of the term before (I hadn't), gynecomastia is the medical condition of having enlarged male breasts. It is obviously a very embarrassing problem for men, and if you click "Read More" below you can view Bill's comments on the program and an overview of gynecomastia. And kudos to 20/20 for their informative and sensitive coverage of the topic.

A group of pro-male activists led by the New Hampshire chapter of NCFC has been making extensive progress in the NH legislature. Earlier we reported that a report was written up on the Status of Men in NH, and as of late the group has been pushing for a full-fledged Commission on the Status of Men. They have just reached a major success, having Bill HB587 passed in the House by a vote of 182 to 145. Read the text of the bill by clicking "Read More" below.

An Anonymous User writes "While attending a meeting of the Massachusetts Joint Committee on the Judiciary which was addressing, among other things, the issue of child support and child custody, I was given a link to this page. Being a divorced Dad in Massachusetts, I was very interested in the section on how Massachusetts stacked up against other states. As one would expect, not very well."

Not PC sent me a link to this story from The Scotsman, which follows up to the earlier news we had reported on about a man who legally tried to stop his girlfriend from getting an abortion. The court apparently granted him an injunction to keep her from doing so, but she aborted the fetus anyway. The article didn't make it sound like Stephen Hone had any further legal right to sue for damages, or that he was planning on doing so. As I had said before, while the case brought up the fact that men have no reproductive rights currently, the issue we need to address is ending the ability for men or women to force their partner into parenthood.

An Anonymous User sent in this link to an article by Jim Peron. It is an overview of feminism's relationship with pornography, and the controversies it has caused within the women's movement. Peron's analysis of two major anti-porn figures, Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon, is well researched and excellently written. Regardless of your own views on pornography, this article gives some interesting background and information about current arguments over porn and free speech.

The Sydney Morning Herald printed a story with a lot of statistics about Ritalin use among children in Australia. "For the first time, the data breaks down the use of Ritalin and dexamphetamine by age group - and reveals a ninefold increase in their use between 1990 and 2000. The prescription rate is four times higher for boys, but is growing for girls, and any NSW [New South Wales] primary classroom has a one-in-two chance of including a child taking drugs for the condition." This alarming trend is out of control and has got to be challenged.

frank h submitted this link to Kathleen Parker's latest editorial in Town Hall. In it, she discusses the policy of British Airways to seat men away from children who are flying alone, and an incident at a Target store where a single dad was hassled for helping his 8 year-old daughter try on clothes in a dressing room. Parker puts it well when she says, "In our hypervigilant world of zero tolerance, pedophiliac paranoia and incest sensitivity, everyone's a pervert until proven innocent. If you've had the extremely bad judgment to be born a male, you're automatically suspicious."
