'Where's Valerie Solanas When You Need Her? What It Really Means To Man-Hate In 2013'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The best part about all of this anti-misandry nonsense is that misandry isn’t real! There is no such thing as an inveterate systematic hatred of men and there never has been. Misandry exists only as an exaggerated Internet joke and as a way in which women who have been directly or indirectly hurt by men to express their frustration and anger.
...
I am not saying man-hating or declaring yourself as a misandrist is definitively radical since hating men has been and is not abnormal--rather the opposite. To viscerally despise those who indirectly oppress you is nothing new, for women and other minorities. Misandry is only a result and reaction to the invariable hatred of women that has existed for centuries.

If someone is a misandrist, it is not so much a sign of rebellion as it is a condition one has developed out of pure exhaustion with being treated like invaluable piece of meat whose only purpose is to serve as a fuckable or nonfuckable body.'

What it looks like when men stop doing what men do

I saw this recent article on Detroit. Not unrelated to this MANN post, in my comment I pointed out that when men can't, won't, or are unable to maintain civilization, you get fairly predictable dire results. In these danger zones that parts of Detroit have turned into, if men in Detroit decided to reclaim them and establish law and order, they'd be functioning again at least as safe places to live. It's expected that men would fulfill that role; notice some continue to try, underpaid and badly-equipped police and firefighters (men, of course) are still trying to keep civilization going. But where are the women stepping up to assume such roles, who gain so much from the civilized state? Not to be found. Creating and maintaining civilization is a responsibility that remains collectively on men's shoulders, yet so many of its benefits are heavily channeled to women. Excerpt:

Murder charges dropped against widow in Georgia day care killing case

Article here. Excerpt:

'(CNN) -- A Georgia judge signed off Friday on the prosecution's request to drop all murder charges against Andrea Sneiderman, whom authorities have said conspired with her boss to have her husband killed.

Prosecutors said the murder charges against Sneiderman were "unjust and unethical" because they weren't positive they could prove them.

Before the decision, Sneiderman was facing malice murder, felony murder and aggravated assault charges related to the death of her husband, Rusty. All three were dismissed.

Sweden: Female cop suspected of assaulting Swedish drunk

Article here. Excerpt:

'In the attack, which occurred in central Stockholm and was caught on camera, the woman is seen hitting a drunken man fourteen times with her baton while her dog snaps at him and bites him. She continually tells the man to "lie down", which he ignores, trying instead to fend off the dog and the woman.

Eventually he lies down bleeding while the police officers pacifies the dog and calls for an ambulance.

The policewoman, who is currently on holiday, will be reassigned when she returns to work, according to DN.

The man who is beaten in the video is also suspected of assault, making illegal threats, causing damages, and drug crimes. He was never detained during the incident, which occurred on a Friday night in mid-July.'

Plea agreement slated in 2012 false rape case

Story here. Excerpt:

'A St. George resident charged with falsely reporting she was raped on a jogging trail and later falsely obtaining public funds for therapeutic services is scheduled to enter a possible plea agreement with prosecutors.

Sarah Elizabeth Rutz, 26, told police she was sexually assaulted by a stranger on the path that crosses below street level near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Dixie Drive on May 2, 2012. During a followup hospital visit, officers collected suspect DNA evidence from Rutz that did not match her husband’s, and began a months-long investigation based on the information Rutz provided, including a sketch artist’s drawing.
...
In September, investigators alleged Rutz had not been raped, contrary to her reports. They charged her with a felony count of filing a fraudulent crime victim reparations claim and three misdemeanor counts of false information to law enforcement.'

Charge against woman over false rape claim dismissed

Story here. Excerpt:

'A judge has dismissed a felony charge against a woman accused of falsely reporting that she was raped by a former boyfriend.

Judge G. Todd Baugh has granted a defense motion to dismiss a charge of fabricating evidence filed against Christina Nadine Nelson.

The judge said in an order issued Tuesday that evidence clearly showed Nelson lied when she reported the rape to police and hospital staff, but the prosecution’s reliance on a report from a sexual assault examination is misplaced.
...
A review of Nelson’s medical records showed she made four other similar reports in recent years.'

Phillipines: Anti-domestic violence act is not husband-bashing, hate men law

Article here. Excerpt:

'MANILA, Philippines—The Supreme Court has affirmed the constitutionality of the country’s Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, as it threw out a petition labelling it as a “husband-bashing” and “hate men” law.

In a 37-page decision released Friday, the high court, through Associate Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe, dismissed petition filed by a certain Jesus Garcia, who said that the law, Republic Act 9262 otherwise, violated the equal protection and due process clause of the Constitution.

Garcia went to the Supreme Court after the Court of Appeals affirmed the Temporary Protection Order issued by the Bacolod City Regional Trial Court in favor of his wife.
...
In his petition, Garcia insisted that he should be appraised of the case filed against him. He also expressed fear of being stripped of family, property, money, children, job, future employment and reputation.

The high court, however said it is merely a “product of an overactive imagination.”

Kansas sperm donor asks for judgment without trial

Article here. Excerpt:

'A Topeka man being pursued for child support by the state after he donated sperm to a lesbian couple is asking a judge to rule in his favor before a trial.

An attorney for William Marotta filed a motion this week in Shawnee County District Court asking for the summary judgment for his client, contending that the Kansas Department for Children and Families is asking the court to do “what no court has ever done” in concluding that a sperm donor is a father when neither the donor nor the biological mother is seeking that result.

The state contends that Marotta must pay child support because he is the father of a girl born to a lesbian couple in 2009. Marotta argues that he and the couple signed a contract waiving his parental rights and responsibilities.

NPO: Historic Change in New Hampshire Child Support Guidelines

Article here. Excerpt:

'Effective July 1, 2013, for the first time in New Hampshire’s history, the child support percentage will vary depending upon how much the parents earn. Under the new Child Support Guidelines, the more the parents earn, the lower the percentage of their monthly income they will pay for child support. Child support paid will be based on the percent of combined net income devoted to child support and the number of children in the same household for which child support is paid.

This change is the result of a 2009 economic analysis prepared by the University of New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services/Division of Child Support Services.

The analysis determined that as income increases, the proportion of income spent on supporting a child decreases. As a result, the guidelines were changed to decrease in the percentage of child support to be paid as the combined net income for the parties increase.'

UK: Boys Wear Skirts To School To Protest Dress Code

Article here. Excerpt:

'When Whitchurch High School in Cardiff, Wales, banned male students from wearing shorts despite sweltering summer temperatures, a group of teenage boys took matters into their own wardrobes and, rather than staging a sit-in, they did one better:

A skirt-on.

According to The Mirror, a group of 17 Year-10 students donned the typically feminine outfits in protest of the school's draconian dress code.

"Girls can wear skirts, so I don’t see why we can’t wear shorts. It’s a reasonable protest," said Tyrone Evelyn, 15, a spokesman for the group. "It’s just appropriate for the weather -- we don’t want to be hot and bothered."'
