'Will Connecticut policy makers listen to testimony supporting shared parenting?

Tuesday, October 15 is your last opportunity to join near unanimous grass-roots support for important changes to Child Support Guidelines in Connecticut. People from all walks of life support the effort to have Connecticut change their Guidelines to recognize that both parents share in the financial decision making authority for their children.

On August 1, 2013, Massachusetts changed their Guidelines to actively encourage shared parenting and clarified that up to age 23 family courts have discretion in ordering child support and/or college contribution. National Parents Organization and our members succeeded in making these changes through our presentations at the child support hearings and our well written and researched testimony.'

Article here. Notice right from the title, the objections of men involutarily genitally mutilated are both inaccurately characterized and dismissed. Excerpt:

'Many men, who were circumcised at an early age or have to undergo the procedure later in life for health reasons, have formed online communities to discuss methods of 'foreskin restoration'.

Many men said they have experienced emotional difficulties and feel angry and resentful about the surgery and are looking to find methods of reversing it, News.com.au reported.

According to the Kernel online magazine, users are gathering together on forums such as foreskin-restoration.net and circumstitions.com.'

'Witness testimony continues Wednesday in the trial of the Stanley woman charged with second-degree murder in the death of her husband, Adam Chase, in June 2012.

Opening statements were given this morning in Ontario County Court in the trial of Rose M. Chase, of 2215 Mott Road. Rose was indicted in February on the charges of second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child.

The indictment alleges that Rose “intentionally caused the death of Adam Chase” on or about June 14, 2012. It further alleges that Rose transported Mr. Chase’s body from their residence to 4675 Hagerty Road in Potter, Yates County, and concealed it there before ultimately burning the body at that location.'

'America is failing our boys. Today’s boys have lower aspirations for higher education than girls. While the disparity in interest in earning a degree appears when men and women are in their 20s, the problem may start as early as the fifth grade -- where more boys than girls become psychological dropouts.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Under Title IX, colleges and universities are required to provide the same amount of athletic opportunities or roster positions to both genders. This is only fair, right? Not quite.

And ironically, men’s athletics are on the receiving end of the unjustness.

Most schools have more women’s sports than men’s sports because they need to create more roster spots to keep up with the upwards of one hundred football roster spots that men fill. There is no women’s sport equivalent to football in terms of sheer number of players on a team.

Because of this, there are three significant consequences at most colleges: 1. women’s rosters on similar team sports tend to be larger than men’s; 2. there are fewer men’s sports programs; and 3. men’s sports programs are the first to be cut in order to keep the number of athletes “equal” between men and women.'

This story appeared today out of China. Excerpt:

'A CHINESE woman was arrested after she forced her boyfriend to kneel in a Hong Kong street while she slapped him for allegedly cheating on her.

The South China Morning Post reports the incident, which was captured on video, shows the woman, whose name is Cheng, accusing her boyfriend Chui of bringing another woman back to his flat.

"Listen to me first before beating me!" he pleads, before adding: "I told her not to come!"

Cheng however grabs his hair and continues to slap him across the face.

An eyewitness called the police and the girl was arrested.'

Great to see the right response from those around him, at least.

I recently discovered and saw a new film that came out called "The Heat" which came out in August 2013. It stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

I have never seen so much sexist anti-male hatred in a film before. I nearly stopped watching it after about 20 minutes as it really just took it to the extreme.

You have McCarthy's character calling out that she wanted to "rupture" the man's balls she was chasing, and an interrogation that resulted in her character pointing a gun at the perp's genitalia and threatening to shoot him. In the final scene you see Sandra Bullock come sliding into a room and shooting a man in his genitalia when there was no reason to do so.

It made me so angry that this film had even been made; they have never made a film where people go around shooting women in the breasts or in the vagina, as it would be looked down upon as just crude and disrespectful. Yet in this film, they took every opportunity they had to attack men and their genitalia.

As a member of the American Society of Engineering Education, I get emails about this topic. Each news feed contains information on progarms for ONLY girls. Each time, I go there and post my displeasure. It would be great if others could do the same. Here are the two for today:

Edison Partners with Local Girl Scouts

'Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio, whose reach extends over Riverside to San Bernardino counties, received a generous grant from Southern California Edison to help fund the “Imagine Your STEM Future” project. The programs are targeted at high school-aged girls and aim to encourage increased interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers.'

Natalie Portman Launches STEM Contest for Teenage Girls

'Actress NATALIE PORTMAN has launched a contest for teenage girls who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math.

I like this site a lot. It fills me with energy. But sometimes, when I read too much about how so many women despise men, I get down. I found this. It helps to know that there are women out there who do like men. Excerpt:

'This is a list of things that I love about men. Pure and simple. No talk of feminism or slut shaming or gender depictions in the media or rape culture here—just an unadulterated tribute to men, a panegyric, a compilation of reasons to be thankful for the male species, in ways both big and small, superficial and profound, personal and professional. They are in no particular order, the creation of my stream of consciousness. I could have gone on for hours, but it’s my hope that you, readers, will add to this list, to show that we appreciate and adore men and what they bring to our lives and the world. (We can return to the heavier debates tomorrow.) For now, let’s have a Kumbaya moment. Leave your reasons in the comments section, and let’s see what we can come up with together!'

'In the following video, Dan Caplinger, the Fool's director of investment planning, discusses the center's look at women and Social Security in an effort to explain the center's findings. Dan notes the center's findings that women on average have lower lifetime earnings than men, allowing women to benefit from Social Security's progressive formula for calculating benefits. Moreover, Dan observes that women have longer life expectancies, thereby receiving payments for a longer period of time. He talks about how Metlife (NYSE: MET ) , Prudential (NYSE: PRU ) , Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW ) , and other annuity providers typically have different payouts for men and women, but Social Security pays the same amount regardless of gender. Finally, Dan discusses the impact of survivors' and spousal benefits on the total amount that women get from Social Security.'

'At the latest battle in the emerging campus war over men’s rights, as a man in a pink keffiyeh, with a pink hammer and sickle on his chest, shouted slogans through a pink megaphone at a group of men’s rights activists who marched on the Ontario legislature to denounce the oppressive effects of feminism, it was tempting to invoke Henry Kissinger’s quip about the Iran-Iraq War: “It’s a pity they both can’t lose.”

Neither side made an articulate case through their mutual loathing. One men’s rights speaker called for armed resistance, and one male feminist counter-protester evidently did not grasp the difference between “suffering” and “suffrage.”

And yet, as a series of hotly protested campus lectures in recent months has illustrated, there are real constituencies behind these extremist combatants. An ideological divide is opening up, on Canadian campuses especially, over the question of organized activism for men’s issues.

Story here. Can you imagine a more disgusting, reprehensible crime short of mass-murder/genocide? Anyway, note that the story uses "having sex with", right at the start. "Having sex" implies mutual consent. Infants can't give consent to anything. Also, note the suspect is charged with a second rape count after yet a second victim was identified. Also looks like birds of a feather flock: her registered sex offender bf was also charged with something after he was nabbed with one of her laptops at his apartment. Will there be a he-made-her-do-it defense? Guess we'll see. Excerpt:

Story here. Excerpt:

'Four more women took on the Marine Corps Infantry Officer Course on Thursday and washed out, the latest chapter in the service’s ongoing research into which roles women should be able to fill in combat.

The women failed the school’s introductory Combat Endurance Test, a grueling exam designed to assess physical strength, stamina and the ability to make decisions while exhausted. They were recruited on a voluntary basis to attempt IOC at Quantico, Va.

All told, 81 male and female Marines began the initial endurance test yesterday at Quantico. Sixty-five men passed; 12 male Marines and four female Marines did not, said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a Marine spokeswoman at the Pentagon.
