'There is a problem with boys and books — they don’t seem to want to read them as much as girls do. As a result, boys’ average reading abilities are lagging behind that of girls by the equivalent of one year's schooling. I believe this difference in appeal is partly due to a bias towards female tastes in children’s literature and in picture books in particular. Last year’s All Party Parliamentary Boys Reading Commission Report notes that the gap between boys’ and girls’ reading ability is already evident at age 5, which suggests that the problem starts at picture book age.

Article here. Basically, as in other well-known cases of boy molestation, sexual abuse, and rape, the so-called "adults" involved, along with "the authorities", knew about it and... did nothing. Of course if these had been girls, it would have been stopped immediately. It's still, it seems, open season on boys. Excerpt:
'Michael Jackson paid $35 million in hush money to at least two dozen young boys he sexually abused over 15 years, it has been alleged.
Sunday People has published explosive ‘secret FBI files’ suggesting the King of Pop groomed and molested children from at least 1989, despite his insistence he was just spending time with them.

Article here. Setting aside the question of the substance of the trial and indeed the article's main topic to point this out: The article doesn't even make a point of the jury composition. The jury is not only nearly all-white but entirely female. Really, would the media be silent on this kind of thing if the jury were made up of nearly all white males? No, they'd be screaming to high heaven. And as for gender, seriously-- again, let's say the deceased and the defendant were both female, too. The noise would be deafening. Instead, it's not even a whisper. Reminds me of this month: Men's Health Month. Tell me, where you work, did you even see a sign posted about it? Anyway, excerpt:

'Children and Fathers Affected by custody disputes, can in many Aspects be Regarded As Modern Societies POW s *).
The children are being kept hostages by Their mothers and the mothers are supported by the Social Services (Childrens Welfare Offices) and the Family Courts who have aided and legalized the kidnapping of the children, while the father's hand are tied with very limited legal options.
*) POW = Prisoner Of War
All of the Governments in the so called "developed countries" are keeping POWs, and These countries are praised for Following the Human Rights. These countries are waging a civil war against Their own population. This is something to think about in time for the next election. Do not forget That it's your politicians who are to blame for this.

'• Jayvas was born naturally on November 15th 2008, a very healthy baby boy. He was full term.
• On 11-28-2008 he was circumcised by Dr. Beth Martin of Coeur d'Alene Pediatrics. While in the office he bled excessively. It took about fifteen minutes of constant pressure to the sight to get Jayvas to stop bleeding. He was sent home from the doctor's office with instruction to have his blood checked the following week as it was a Friday. Dr. Beth Martin thought he may have a bleeding disorder because of the excessive bleeding, but did not think it needed to be checked until the following week.
• When home and beginning to change his diaper, about an hour and half after leaving doctor's office, he was again bleeding.

'Fort Lauderdale, Florida (CNN) -- South Florida authorities are asking for the public's help to find a group of "foxy thieves" they say are drugging men they pick up at high-end bars and stealing tens of thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, guns and other valuables.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office released photos of the four suspects, all in their 20s, and have attained arrest warrants for them.
Investigators suspect there may be more women involved in the ring.
"They're attractive women that go into a bar and they have a scam and they work it again and again," said Dani Moschella, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'An Indian airline known for lower fares is reportedly instituting yet another way to keep costs low — ditch heavier male flight attendants in favor of an all-female crew that will be lighter to transport and therefore save fuel.
Times of India reported 40 percent of GoAir’s 330 flight attendants being male. With women generally weighing 30 to 45 pounds less than males and it costing about 3 rupees ($0.05) per hour per extra pound to fly, the airline expects to save up to 30 million rupees (around $500 million) each year in fuel through the new hiring practice.
...
In addition to hoping for savings by reducing the weight of the flight crew, other cost-saving measures De Roni noted were reducing the size of inflight magazines, filling water tanks less and using only one engine during taxiing.'

'A North Carolina County Commissioner is sticking by her statement that the next person who is hired for a vacant county manager position should be a “nonwhite male.”
Kim Ratliff, a county commissioner in Mecklenburg County, N.C., made her comments following the departure of former county manager Harry Jones.
“Some residents may have taken it the wrong way,” Ratliff said. “But I said what I said.”
...
“I wasn’t saying for white men not to apply,” Ratliff said. “What I was saying was we had a white male county manager. We had a black male. It’s a given those two genders and races will apply. I’m saying to the ladies of every race — take a chance at it.”'

Article here. Excerpt:
'Circumcision rates in the U.S. have been falling since the 1960s, when the vast majority of infant boys had their foreskins removed before leaving the hospital.
These days, approximately 57% of boys are circumcised in U.S. hospitals, with the procedure generally being more common among whites and less common among black and Hispanic populations, according to estimates. Other boys are circumcised in religious ceremonies shortly after birth.
...
Rather than admit a serious mistake, we ignore the harm and produce endless inflated medical claims to defend our bias. Some research shows that circumcision is favored more often by circumcised physicians. If they participate in pro-circumcision studies or committees, circumcision status could influence their work.
Watch a circumcision video and trust your feelings, instincts, common sense and nature. You will want to keep your baby safe from specious genital surgery and trauma.'

The media is refusing to cover a study being conducted at a hospital in Cincinnati on 200+ infant boys. The researchers are testing which of two circumcision clamps (the Gomco vs. the Mogen) is "better," by measuring the weight of blood soaked gauzes after the procedure, and assessing babies' pain during the surgery by observing their vital signs and facial expressions. We are preparing a major campaign, but here are two things you can do right now:
- Follow @TriHealth on Twitter and post tweets telling them to stop their Gomco vs. Mogen circumcision study; use the hashtag #stoptrihealthstudy.
- Post on TriHealth's corporate Facebook page, demanding that they stop the Gomco vs. Mogen study.
