Asking Roosh V: What legacy has feminism left for men?

Interview here. Excerpt:

'Cotto: Today, divorce and infidelity rates are disturbingly high. Insofar as men are concerned, why do you think that this is the case?

Roosh: Divorce in America is a great deal for women. She gets half a man’s assets and monthly payments that can be quite substantial if children are involved. The more money the man has, the more she gets paid. The ultimate humiliation for husbands is to pay alimony for a woman who then takes care of her “bad boy” lover in his former bed. If you take away incentive for a woman to remain a wife or to be loyal, she won’t. 
...
Cotto: Feminism is a tremendously controversial subject. From your standpoint, what legacy has it left for men?

SAVE E-lert: Tell the NDAA to Remove their Biased NCPVAW Program

Last week we reported that Attorney General Eric Holder said, "I applaud Congress for passing a bipartisan [VAWA] reauthorization that protects everyone - women and men, gay and straight, children and adults of all races, ethnicities, countries of origin, and tribal affiliations." While that is a great start, we have a long way to go before all victims are treated equally.

We also have a long way to go before persons accused of abuse are treated equally. Research shows, "males were consistently treated more severely at every stage of the prosecution process." 
 
It's easy to see why this is happening. Take a look at the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) website, where you'll find their program, the National Center for the Prosecution of Violence Against Women (NCPVAW).  
 
Yes, you read that right. Blatant gender discrimination!

Prosecutors review evidence in false rape report at UC Santa Cruz

Story here.

'SANTA CRUZ -- Santa Cruz County prosecutors Wednesday reviewed the 911 call of a woman who made a false rape report at UC Santa Cruz but have not decided whether to press charges against her.

"We will have a decision as soon as we get all the reports and tapes from UCSC," said District Attorney Bob Lee.

The 21-year-old woman, who authorities have not named and is not a UCSC student, said she was attacked Feb. 17.

On Feb. 28, UCSC Police Chief Nader Oweis said the woman admitted that she "fabricated" the report. The woman had bruises and described the fictitious attacker to an artist who produced a composite sketch.

If she is charged with filing a false police report, she could face 6 months in jail, counseling or restitution, prosecutors said.'

Conroe police said the incident happened shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday, when a 56-year-old Ruthie Cook-Scheer walked out of her home and got into her car to leave. Her husband, 66-year-old Frank Scheer, came out of the house and started talking to her.

Meet the Man’s-Man Mayor Who’s Trying to End Domestic Abuse

Story here. Excerpt:

'You don’t need a Y chromosome to know Mike Rawlings is a man’s man. Before he became mayor of Dallas in 2011, he was the top executive at Pizza Hut and, before that, an athlete. He has a full of head of gray hair and a voice like Jeff Daniels. When he talks, he relies heavily on sports metaphors. None of this should make his anti-domestic-violence activism surprising, but it might make him the movement’s most refreshing new spokesman.

Last month, Rawlings firmly requested the presence of 10,000 Dallas men — Boy Scouts welcome, too — at City Hall on March 23, to show their solidarity for his just-announced Men Against Abuse campaign. “I decided to call out the men of Dallas,” Rawlings told the Cut. “I said, this is not a women’s issue, this is a men’s issue. Eighty-five, 90 percent of domestic violence is men on women.”'

Millionaire's Wife Gets Prenup Thrown Out

Article here. Excerpt:

'In a rare move, a Brooklyn appellate court has decided that a prenuptial agreement between a Long Island woman and her millionaire husband will be thrown out, the New York Post first reported.

"It's virtually unheard of," Dennis D'Antonio, the attorney for Elizabeth Petrakis, told The Huffington Post. "To a large degree, this has upset the heretofore common thinking that prenups were not subject to challenge. ... Now there's precendent for vacating a prenup. It's a big deal."
...
D'Antonio explained to HuffPost that his client's husband is currently worth between $20 and $30 million. Peter Petrakis never made good on his promise about the prenup, and his failure to do so was enough to convince the courts that fraud had occurred, said D'Antonio.

"It's fraud where someone lies to you, or tricks you into doing something on the basis of a lie, that you wouldn't have otherwise done," D'Antonio said of the Petrakis prenup. "That was the grounds for challenging it."'

Dianne Feinstein, PTSD, and PMS: Should radical feminists own guns?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Feinstein even stated that military veterans should not be exempt from the gun ban because of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Senator posits that all militar personnel suffer from PTSD making all fun owning veterans a risk.
...
Let’s turn the tables and use language that Feinstein and other do-gooder liberals can actually understand. Replace “veteran men” with “feminist women.” Now replace “PTSD” with “PMS.”

Should we use the PMS, vs. PTSD as our qualifier, the gun ban should be extended to anybody suffering Pre-Menstrual Syndrome. After all, painting all women with a broad brush means that all women are too crazy, hysterical, and irrational to be allowed anywhere near a firearm.

New Ryerson Students' Union policy challenges new men’s issues group

Article here. Excerpt:

'TORONTO (CUP) — An effort to guard the empowerment of women’s voices on campus took form on March 4 when the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) swiftly adopted a bold new policy rejecting the concept of misandry — the hatred or fear of men.
...
“We want to acknowledge that the additions that we added here are regarding the ideas of misandry and reverse-sexism, both of which are oppressive concepts that aim to delegitimize the equity work that women’s movements work to do.” Marwa Hamad, vice-president equity at the RSU, said the policy will preserve space for discussing misogyny and institutionalized gender imbalances.
...
The RSU’s three-pronged policy change could complicate the creation of a men’s issues group which applied for student-group status last week. Sarah Santhosh, a second-year biology student and the founder of the Ryerson Association for Equality, said she was shocked the RSU passed this motion two days before the executives’ meeting with the Student Groups Committee.

Change.org: Ask UN to Recognize Parental Alienation As Violence And Abuse Against Children

Petition here. Excerpt:

'Professionals in different disciplines identified and defined Parental Alienation as the pervasive practice of one divorcing parent against the other parent to destroy the relationship of the targeted parent with his or her children. This is usually done with the intent to gain financial benefits in court.

Since 1990, the year that The Convention on Rights of the Child entered into force, a more pernicious form of Parental Alienation has permeated global societies. In order to comply with the yearly resolutions suggested by NGOs to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, States and their governments initiated, developed and sustained a persecution against parents to separate them from their children. Those resolutions are accepted unquestiongly and never contested.

"Really, these Father Supremacists people are a bunch of batterers"

Newsletter here. Excerpt, on p. 4:

'Q: What can this committee do to make our voices heard over the Fathers’ Rights people?

Dr. Hannah: Use your political power. Some say our real power is people power. If there is any goal at all for this, it would be to amass more power. Through the people. Through uniting organizations and like-minded people. One thing that has hit me over and over again is how many stakeholders there are in this issue. How many subsets of people have a keen interest in how these cases go? Children’s advocates, juvenile delinquency officers, probation officers, and the legal, psychology, sociology, and medical people. All those professionals interact with mothers and children. People are growing up being raised by abusers. This is a critical issue for our society. So if all we do is keep shoving this under the nose of people who should be working on this, it’s probably a good thing. I think if more and more people get royally outraged, something will be done.

Q: What about the term "Fathers' Rights"?

Under Proposed Bill, Students Who Form Finger In Shape Of Gun Would Not Be Suspended

Article here. Excerpt:

'Zero tolerance for zero tolerance. That’s how one lawmaker feels about young children being suspended from school for forming their finger or food in the shape of a gun.

As Gigi Barnett explains, he has a bill designed to keep students in class if they’re caught.

State Senator J.B. Jennings says he does not intend for this bill to be a part of the growing gun debate in Maryland, but he does say he wants it to bring some common sense discipline to state schools.
...
Back in January, 6-year-old Rodney Lynch received the same punishment for forming his fingers in the shape of a gun. Montgomery County school leaders sent Rodney home for two days.

“These kids are 6 or 7-years-old. They don’t understand what they’re doing,” said Sen. J.B. Jennings.'
