'This paper, by two MIT economists, David Autor and Melanie Wasserman, presents the reader with two of the biggest and most important trends in recent decades. The first is the growing disparity between men and women in both educational attainment and economic well-being; the second is the change in family structure. The growing disparity between men and women is easy to overlook given the fact that at the very top of our society power and money is still overwhelmingly held by men. And yet, when we move to the realm of more ordinary people we see, in the words of Autor and Wasserman, “...a tectonic shift. Over the last three decades, the labor market trajectory of males in the U.S. has turned downward along four dimensions: skills acquisition; employment rates; occupational stature; and real wage levels.”'

'WASHINGTON, May 22, 2013 - According to the National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center, over 830,000 men are victims of domestic violence annually, about half the rate of women. This translates to one man subjected to domestic abuse every 37.8 seconds.
There are over 4,000 domestic violence programs in America but very few oriented to male victims. Such victims are abused in the same manner as women: physically, emotionally, verbal or financially. The abuse is similar between the sexes.

'It might be the most famous statistic about female workers in the United States: Women earn "only 72 percent as much as their male counterparts."
It's also famously false.
A new survey from PayScale this morning finds that the wage gap nearly evaporates when you control for occupation and experience among the most common jobs, especially among less experienced workers. It is only as careers advance, they found, that men outpaced female earnings as they made their way toward the executive suite.
So, women aren't starting off behind their male counterparts, so much as they're choosing different jobs and losing ground later in their careers.'

'Last Wednesday, May 22, the Illinois Senate passed HB2992 unanimously. The bill had previously passed the House, also by a unanimous vote. Now the bill goes to Governor Quinn for signature. Championed by Illinois Fathers member Richard Lee Thomas, the bill provides statutory authority for judges to incorporate right of first refusal provisions into child custody orders.
At ACFC one of the more common complaints we hear from parents is that their children are being placed in daycare or farmed out to other people when the ‘other’ parent is available and wants to care for the children. In these situations the overarching theme seems to be “Anyone but me.” It’s one of the more frustrating situations parents endure.'

'Family unity took a major step forward at the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting in San Francisco on May 18-22, 2013, with the inclusion of language that describes the serious mental health problem of parental alienation. For the first time, mental health professionals in the U.S. will have officially recognized concepts to diagnose children who experience parental alienation, strengthening the case against parents who strive to alienate children during divorce.

'On May 4, 2013, Intact America sponsored a sidewalk demonstration and press conference in New Orleans outside the annual convention of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). During this one-day event, we protested the role of obstetricians in perpetrating circumcision in American hospitals. Read the press release.
Our mobile billboard, which patrolled the streets of New Orleans (photos courtesy of James Loewen), was a huge success, sparking countless conversations with doctors, tourists, and local residents. Even the driver, Roger, helped forward the cause by handing out information and telling people about Intact America! Many thanks to James Loewen, who took the photo above as well as these of our billboard.'

'DENVER – A man and a woman were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of trying to stab the woman’s ex-husband to death.
Wheat Ridge Police responded at 12:53 a.m. to a house in the 3700 block of Vance Street in Wheat Ridge on reports of an assault. There they found a 41-year-old man suffering from multiple knife wounds to his face, neck and chest. He remains hospitalized following multiple surgeries.
Witnesses at the scene described seeing a gray car without a front bumper leaving the scene.

'Responding to what it considers the University of Montana’s defective handling of complaints about sexual assaults, OCR, in conjunction with the Justice Department, sent the university a letter intended as a “blueprint” for institutions nationwide when handling sexual harassment, too. The letter, sent on May 9, encourages (see below) adoption of speech codes — actually, censorship regimes — to punish students who:

'ROUGH AND READY (CBS13) — A man whose wife bit him on the genitals after an argument after a rodeo says his only regret is calling 911 on her.
Anthony Hill is still healing and says he’s standing by his wife, Christina Salinas.
Hill said Sunday was supposed the be a fun night out at the Penn Valley Rodeo. He says the argument followed a series of stressful events in their lives, including the fact Salinas’ ex-husband now lives with them.
Hill wanted to leave early, she wanted to stay. When they got home, the argument continued. Salinas’ ex-husband tried to separate the two, and when both men went to hold her down, that’s when she allegedly bit his penis.'
