'On March 8, the United States joins people around the globe in honoring women and celebrating their contributions toward building a more peaceful, just, and prosperous world. The State Department, which has been led by strong, smart, and remarkably capable diplomats from Madeleine Albright to Condoleezza Rice and my predecessor Hillary Rodham Clinton, stands as a lasting example of the powerful change that determined women can make and sustain on behalf of America in the modern world.

It makes me happy to bring you good news.  
 
The Violence Against Women Act that passed out of the House, and is expected to be signed into law by President Obama today, covers every victim. Yay!  
   
In the words of Attorney General Eric Holder, "I applaud Congress for passing a bipartisan reauthorization that protects everyone - women and men, gay and straight, children and adults of all races, ethnicities, countries of origin, and tribal affiliations."  
 
SAVE has documented widespread discriminatory practices against male, lesbian/gay, and immigrant victims of abuse. So, even though we didn't get everything we wanted in this reauthorization of VAWA, we are celebrating the inclusion of all victims.

Please join us in thanking Eric Holder for his bold statement on VAWA inclusion:

'A few weeks ago a new British political party was established, Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them) I'm the party's leader - and we plan to change the face of British politics.

The interests of men and boys have been ever more assaulted in the UK for more than 30 years - a trend accelerating after Margaret Thatcher, a true meritocrat, resigned as prime minister in 1990.

Terrified of the prospect of alienating the ‘female vote', politicians have enacted legislation, and issued guidance for civil servants, which have been ever more influenced by militant feminist thinking. They have had no democratic mandate for doing so.'

'Ages ago, when I dated a guy in the Air Force, he told me it was mandatory that children with military parents be tested for correct paternity to receive benefits. I cringed, arguing that it was insulting and disrespectful and interfered with patient confidentiality and anyway, who would seriously lie about the paternity of a child?

That only happens on Maury, right?

Actually...it happens to more than 250,000 men a year in America. And, it happened to an old college friend of mine who just found out that the child he had given his name to, wasn't his.
...
And then, days, months or years later, you find out that that child does not share your genetic makeup. You find out that you were deceived. And if the duped father decides that he wants to leave whatever union created that child, he is still required to legally finance that child's life.'

'It all started back in the Spring of 2009. Quinnipiac University announced it was cutting men’s golf, men’s outdoor track and women’s volleyball due to budget cuts.
...
This past Monday, Federal Court judges ruled that Quinnipiac University still has failed to show that it provides equal opportunity for the female athletes.
...
Quinnipiac has 13 women’s varsity sports, including the women’s volleyball team, acrobatics and tumbling, golf and rugby.

The men only have seven varsity sports.'

'Why are feminists on the left so angered by women like Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer? Or Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg? What is it about these C-suite successes that make them the ire of Maureen Dowd or Joanne Bamberger?

Americans have been led to believe that the modern feminist movement is about freedom, equality under the law, and the right to make choices – an equation with many different variables and endless outcomes. But more and more traditional feminists today are angry when women fail to make the choices – or say the things – they think women should.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Last January, we wrote about the anti-male bias many people perceive in family court. Part of the story dealt with a veteran mental health counselor named Douglas Bartholomew, who provided a damning court-ordered assessment of a man accused of abusing his wife--an assessment one judge said was the worst he had seen in his 22 years on the bench.

Thanks to a Department of Health action just made public, Bartholomew will no longer conduct such assessments in domestic violence cases, once a mainstay of his practice. The assessments are key to family court cases because they often determine whether someone (usually a man) accused of domestic violence can see his children and under what conditions. And as we we reported last year, allegations of abuse are common, and sometimes used strategically, in contentious divorce cases.'

'Ever since the term “Parental Alienation” was defined by Richard Gardner in the 80's, and it began being used in child custody disputes, advocates for Domestic Violence and women’s groups and some family lawyers purport that Parental Alienation is junk science and is damaging to the family court cases.

Father’s rights groups on the other hand, advocate for its existence and claim that women are the majority of perpetrators.

Who is right, and who is wrong?
...
Undoubtedly, research shows that Parental Alienation is as real as Domestic Violence and both-women and men’s groups-are right to a certain extent; despite their arguments they are in fact saying the same thing only expressing it in different ways.

'Domestic violence is intolerable – and so are gender biased laws like the Violence Against Women Act; acts like this tell an incomplete story of domestic violence for political gain.

Article here. Excerpt:

'CORONATION Street is currently exploring and raising the awareness of domestic violence through the character of Tyrone Dobbs who has been suffering at the hands of his new wife.

It is a shocking picture that is being painted in the popular soap but it acts to dispel the myth that only women can be victims of domestic violence.

For one Hucknall man, seeing the images of Kirsty physically and emotionally abuse her partner has brought back to the fore his own experiences.

But recently, the dad of two has decided to come out of the shadows and confront his past to tackle the prejudice and biased attitude that women are the only victims in domestic violence.'

'Bowing to pressure from women activists, the government has decided to restore the term rape in criminal law that states only men can be booked for committing the offence against women. It has also decided to lower the age of consent for sex from 18 to 16 years. These are fresh changes proposed by the Centre in its criminal laws (amendment) bill, which will replace the rape ordinance issued on February 3.
...
Explaining the reasons behind scrapping the comprehensive and gender-neutral definition of sexual assault, which would have covered abuse by the same sex as well as paedophilia, a senior government official said: "IPC section 377 already deals with crimes involving unnatural sex and related activity. Also, some of the concerns raised by women's organizations merited serious consideration and that is what has been done."

The government is also expected to propose enhanced jail terms for those found guilty of outraging the modesty of women and using obscene gestures or words against them.'

'The honeymoon is over for Germany’s 11th federal president: after a relatively good start into his tenure, Joachim Gauck has now managed to draw the ire of Germany’s feminists.

Gauck joined the sexism debate currently raging in his country by telling Der Spiegel news magazine: “Certainly much remains to be done but I cannot see widespread misbehavior of men against women in our country”

Sounds innocent enough but, Gauck also detected “virtue fury” (Tugendfuror) in that debate and at least some feminists are furious, indeed.'
