'Working in an office full of women, many of whom are young, single gals, I hear all the time, “Where are all the good men out there?” Even in this post-feminist age of asserting independence from men and having both a career and a family, women still want their prince and these days, he can be really tough to find.

Bill Bennett, who used to work for President George H. W. Bush and is now at the Claremont Institute, just came out with a new book called, "The Book of Man: Readings on the Path to Manhood," and it could not have been released at a better time.

These men should be studying in college, getting a job, and contributing to society through the workforce and family. How in the world do they have time to play video games for hours? The answer is that they just don’t ever grow up.

'NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Memphis woman who spent 26 years on death row and came within two months of being executed for hiring a stranger to kill her husband was freed Friday from a Tennessee prison.

Gaile Owens, 58, was greeted by a small group of supporters outside Tennessee's Prison for Women. Owens was all smiles as she pushed a yellow laundry cart containing her belongings past the prison's razor-wire fence to freedom.

Owens was sentenced to die in 1985, but her death sentence was commuted to life in prison last year and she won parole last week.
...
Supporters had urged her release, claiming she was a battered wife who didn't use that defense because she didn't want her young sons to know about the physical and sexual abuse.
...
Sidney Porterfield, the man she was accused of hiring to kill her husband with a tire iron, was also sentenced to death. He is still on death row.'

'She had always admitted to killing her husband, using two guns to fire 11 bullets inside the couple’s home in Queens. But she insisted she had no choice: if she had not shot him, he would have surely killed her first.

On Thursday, a jury in State Supreme Court in Queens agreed, clearing the woman, Barbara Sheehan, of second-degree murder charges in a case that had been viewed as a strenuous test of a battered-woman defense. Her son and daughter, the children of her slain husband, wept with joy.

During the trial, the jury heard how Ms. Sheehan had been relentlessly abused by her husband, Raymond Sheehan, a former police sergeant, during their 24 years of marriage. But the critical question at trial was whether Ms. Sheehan was in imminent danger when she killed her husband; New York State’s self-defense law justifies the use of lethal force when a threat to a person’s life is deemed immediate.

'Men commit more crime than women but there's one category where women hold the distinction – embezzlement.

In a national trend that is playing out in series of Sonoma County cases, women are more often arrested on charges of stealing from employers, churches or community organizations.

Their dominance is likely a result of the positions they occupy such as bookkeepers and bank tellers that allow greater access to financial records, checking accounts and cash, experts say.

And a perception that women are more trustworthy than men may lead to even more opportunity to misappropriate funds, said Richard Scott, a Santa Rosa lawyer specializing in embezzlement defense.'

'A cheating Melbourne wife who committed the ultimate betrayal by plotting to have her lover kill her millionaire husband on his birthday, has been found guilty of attempted murder.

Vicky Soteriou, 44, had her lover Ari Dimitrakis stab her husband Chris as she walked arm-in-arm with him after celebrating his 44th birthday at a Melbourne restaurant in January last year.

Chris Soteriou suffered life threatening injuries.

Until that night Mr Soteriou believed he had the perfect marriage and the perfect life.

He woke from a coma to be told his wife had been cheating on him and was told a few days later that she had plotted to kill him.

After nearly two years of "hell" Mr Soteriou finally saw justice on Friday.

He yelled out "yes" and wept as a Victorian Supreme Court jury found his wife guilty of attempting to murder him.'

'"[The] decision of no confidence on the PSA test by the U.S. government condemns tens of thousands of men to die this year and every year going forward if families are to believe the out-of-date evidence presented by the USPSTF," said Skip Lockwood, chief executive of ZERO, a group devoted to ending prostate cancer.

"A decision on how best to test and treat for prostate cancer must be made between a man and his doctor. This decision is coming from a panel that doesn't even include a urologist or medical oncologist."

Dr. Scott Eggener, an expert in prostate cancer from the University of Chicago, said the new recommendations, if adopted, would discourage men from getting prostate cancer screening.

Eggener said the move "is a classic example of 'throwing the baby out with the bath water.' A more sensible approach is to use all of our currently available tools to intelligently determine which patients are most likely to benefit from screening and treatment."'

'(CNN) -- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the group that told women in their 40s that they don't need mammograms, will soon recommend that men not get screened for prostate cancer, according to a source privy to the task force deliberations.

The task force is set to recommend a "D" rating for prostate specific antigen, or PSA, testing. Such a rating means "there is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits," according to the group's website. The task force is set to propose this recommendation Tuesday, and then allow for a comment period before issuing a final recommendation.

According to a draft copy of a report scheduled to be released Monday, a review of studies shows screening with the PSA blood test results in "small or no reduction" in prostate cancer deaths.'

'For the first time in history, wrote author and former U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett on CNN.com, women are better educated, more ambitious, and arguably more successful than men.

“Society has rightly celebrated the ascension of one sex,” he writes in Why Men Are In Trouble. “We said, ‘You go girl,’ and they went.”
...
A few weeks ago, I spoke at The University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, and I can confirm that many of the young women on campus are confused about men: their mixed signals, their lack of commitment to a relationship, the dearth of maturity and the inability to communicate. But if you asked the women what they wanted, they didn’t seem to quite know either.

'NASHUA – A woman violated bail by contacting her alleged victim in a domestic assault case, police say.

Katrina Russell, 28, of 108½ Ash St., tried to induce the male victim not to cooperate in upcoming court proceedings against her, police said. Russell also allegedly threatened to harm the victim if he contacted police.

Russell was arrested Tuesday in Springfield, Vt., on a warrant from Nashua police. She was held at the Southern State Correctional Facility until police officers from Nashua traveled to Vermont to take her into custody, police said.'

'Former Secretary of Education William Bennett has taken time out from his busy day to notice men, and he doesn’t like what he sees. Here’s his article (CNN, 10/4/11).

It’s not a good piece for a former Secretary of Education. That’s because it’s short on facts and logic, and does its best to contradict itself. In short, if Bennett had turned this in as a composition exercise in, say, 10th grade, I’d give him a D.

The only reason his grade isn’t lower is that he does get some facts right. He notices that men’s status in society has declined significantly since the 50s, 60s and 70s.

A Congressional Briefing on the Effects of Domestic Violence on Children has been scheduled for this coming Wednesday, Oct. 12 in Washington DC. The event is hosted by Makers of Memories and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

As you can see to the side, the image they chose to promote the briefing shows a man, presumably a father, yelling at a small girl who is cowering in the corner. And no surprise, the websites of Makers of Memories and the NCADV are brimming with gender-biased information.

SAVE supports evidence-based efforts to address young victims of family violence. These are the facts that need to be highlighted:

1. Women are at least as likely as men to engage in intimate partner violence. One national survey found mothers are twice as likely as fathers to engage in severe marital violence. [i]

The latest misandrist "man up" article on CNN, this time by William Bennett. Excerpt:

'(CNN) -- For the first time in history, women are better educated, more ambitious and arguably more successful than men.

Now, society has rightly celebrated the ascension of one sex. We said, "You go girl," and they went. We celebrate the ascension of women but what will we do about what appears to be the very real decline of the other sex?

The data does not bode well for men. In 1970, men earned 60% of all college degrees. In 1980, the figure fell to 50%, by 2006 it was 43%. Women now surpass men in college degrees by almost three to two. Women's earnings grew 44% in real dollars from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% growth for men.

'An Oklahoma nurse arrested on charges of having sex with a 13-year-old boy is back behind bars - for slipping him a love note wrapped in a burrito.

"Hey Babe, I love you forever," Amy Blose, 37, penned to the schoolchild before asking his 15-year-old female friend to deliver it, RadarOnline reported.

In April, Blose was charged with three counts of rape, three counts of forcible oral sodomy, one count of lewd or indecent acts to a child under 16 and one count of performing lewd acts in the presence of a child under 16.'

'Relationships between women are often fraught with drama and pain, especially the ones between mothers and daughters. But no one's story is as awful as Mary Kathlyn Ogdoc's. The young mom lost her 2-year-old daughter last year after her own mother tossed her from a mall skywalk in Virginia.

Apparently, this grandmother had a reason for murdering her toddler granddaughter in such a cruel and horrific way. She hated her son-in-law who impregnated her daughter out of wedlock when she was 19. Oh and this: She felt the little girl came between her and her daughter.

I am going out on a limb to say what actually came between her and her daughter is the fact that she is a RAGING PSYCHO. It's unconscionable that she could even think that is a good "reason" to murder a child. And the worst part is her defense team is trying to prove she is insane.'
