Room 156
5:00 PM

This American film looks at the everyday issues of stress, family, struggle and suffering that families experience when they are put through the detrimental maneuvers of the family court system. This shocking documentary shows how fathers are forced to pay exorbitant amounts of money for child support and how many fathers lose access to their children."

'It’s not unusual to hear pro-aborts say that men don’t have a right to speak out against abortion. They don’t deserve a seat at the table. And now one pro-abortion advocate is going so far as saying that she wants to silence the voices of all men on abortion. According to this writer, who blogs at a website called Abortion Gang, because men can’t get pregnant, they shouldn’t be allowed to express any opinion on abortion whatsoever.

I want to silence all the male voices in the abortion discussion.

...The main anti-choice voices for the U.S. are also all men. In fact, the majority of persons in government who are anti-choice, are men. And none of them can get pregnant. The people who are making decisions that affect the lives of women, CAN’T EVEN GET PREGNANT!

'More than 40 years ago in Ontario, University of Windsor law students began volunteering their time to assist those in need of legal counsel, if the accused met certain financial criteria. The program continues today, under the banner of Community Legal Aid. Not that those first student defenders would likely recognize their creation in its current, grotesquely prejudiced form.

...But it still gives the students real-life experience handling real-life cases, while providing a service to those in need.

Not all in need, however. Community Legal Aid will no longer take on any domestic abuse cases, it announced in an email, “unless the alleged offender is a woman.” In that case, it will work to find a lawyer who will take the case for free, or failing that, take the case itself. Men are on their own.

'At the Clinton Global initiative conference, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in her speech on Monday, "Violence can never be justified."

Domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking -- could also be defined as bullying -- are not issues exaggerated in crime dramas on primetime TV in the US. Here's the painful truth: domestic violence is spreading, and destroying the lives of millions and millions of people. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found in a 2011 survey that "these types of violence affect the health of millions of adults." The CDC added, "On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner . . . Over the course of a year, that equals more than 12 million women and men." It should also be kept in mind that these statistics are based upon survivors of abuse who were willing to share their stories. Unfortunately, not everyone is a survivor. Many people remain silent victims, and their stories go untold.'

'The Chicago teachers’ union is citing poverty, violence, and homelessness as reasons for student failure, problems they maintain are beyond their ability to solve and are the responsibility of society at large. But here is why the teachers’ unions deserve disapproval, despite having some right on their side: They do not cite the main cause of all of these problems, fatherlessness, and the veritable culture of single-mother families in the areas their schools serve.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Several campaigners for fathers' rights and shared parenting after divorce have been arrested or summoned for questioning in recent days and a Knesset member who sides with the fathers' movement says a "militant feminist crackdown" is under way.

One activist father, Guy Shamir, has been held in jail for 21 days. He was arrested when Haifa Family Court Judge Esperanza Alon's clerk claimed that he used a threatening phrase in a telephone conversation with her. Shamir says he told the clerk: "The judge should mind her own children and I will mind mine." The clerk claimed that he told the judge to "mind her children" in a threatening way.

An attorney who heads the Coalition for Children and Families was questioned and placed under three-day house arrest regarding alleged threatening statements on the internet. His computer was confiscated. The organization recently organized a study day in Tel Aviv's Municipal Library regarding anti-father bias in the Family Courts.'

Hang onto your lab-coats, STEM educators! You are about to feel the same righteous wrath of feminism that has been inflicted on the liberal arts lo these many years. Hell hath no fury as feminists with some kind of study decrying female victimization paired with the enabling power of The State to come up with new regulations and enforcement units to make damn sure that there are AT LEAST as many women in a given field as men (but not the other way around). Soon college-aged men will be blocked out of classes like they are from sporting opportunities because there aren't enough female students taking Physics in some given year. Don't believe it could get that crazy? Really, you'd doubt that by now? Mark my words. Article here. Excerpt:

'Science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same accomplishments and skills, a new study by researchers at Yale concluded.

'One of the most alienating messages that schools send to boys is the idea that they are inherently dangerous and predatory. This is especially true in the area of sexual harassment. After a few decades of one-sided reforms and increasingly punitive reforms to education policy, schools now face fines, investigations, or lawsuits if female students suffer any kind of discomfort which can be defined under the broad umbrella of harassment. Schools are hyper-vigilant toward any kind of misbehavior on the part of boys, to the extent that boys who exhibit quasi-offensive behavior (or behavior that would be inoffensive or non-threatening to most people) are being labeled as predatory - labels they inevitably internalize -- and being punished for it. I'll give numerous examples in this video.'

'ST. GEORGE — After months of investigating an alleged rape that happened on a public trail, St. George Police have charged the alleged victim with fraud and filing a false police report.

St. George Police Capt. Kyle Whitehead said the fraud charge stems from money Rutz obtained from the Utah State Crime Victims Reparation fund. Whitehead said Rutz received more than $25,000 from the fund.

Rutz was booked Tuesday into the Purgatory Correctional Facility on $12,500 bail. She has since posted bail and been released.'

'I have become increasingly disturbed by the so-called "feminist" arguments made by some regarding the "War on Women." It seems we've reached an age of political discourse where women are receiving the deference of yesteryear, but not the respect of a rigorous examination of their argument — which, if true, would be grievous.

'Now that all the naughty ladies have control of the earth, men are staging a revolt. They're doing this by not going to university, not marrying, and working in low-paid jobs. Some of them are refusing to work at all, in protest against the government's secret plan to give ALL the tax dollars to women.

'ROCKTON — Matt DePauw is one of the best in his sport in the area, and he’s in the middle of his senior year.

But instead of being out on the court, DePauw spends all his time on the bench, watching.

“It’s been hard for him, because there aren’t a lot of opportunities around for boys who want to play volleyball,” Lori DePauw, his mom, says.

Matt is the manager for Hononegah’s varsity girls volleyball team. A club player for four years with Club Fusion in Marengo, he is one of the a few boys volleyball players in the area who was never given the opportunity to play for his school.'

A new "documentary" film is being premiered by Twin Cities Public Television this week. Given the fact that the promoter is a member of the Minnesota domestic violence network, the content will likely be long on political content and short on facts. Hopefully, true social scientists will view it and debunk it before it gets wider distribution. The promoter, Minnesota State legislator Michael Paymar, is well known for his efforts in characterizing fathers as being violent and preventing them from having custody following divorce or separation.

'Join tpt at a pre-broadcast screening of a new film that explores cultural and historic beliefs about manhood that allow men to exploit and hurt women – with impunity.

With Impunity: Men & Gender Violence engages the thinking of leading historians, sociologists and practitioners to examine our past, cultural realities and options for ending gender-based violence. This program is a tpt MN co-production with Education for Critical Thinking.

'PROBLEM: It's suspected that there is a biological trade-off between reproduction and longevity, the theory being that our mechanisms of repairing damaged genetic material are limited and thus relegated to the most evolutionarily advantageous repair work. Propagating our genes, it would follow, trumps living to see/attempting to control the lives of proceeding generations. The male sex hormone is implicated in this theory, and taking into account that fact that women tend to live significantly longer than men, may be responsible for limiting men's lifespan.'
