'He donated sperm to a lesbian couple and considered himself a father to the child they conceived, forming a loving relationship with her and contributing thousands in support payments.

But the 58-year-old man is now outraged and devastated that his name will be stripped from the girl's birth certificate, after a NSW District Court judge ruled in favour of the mother's ex-partner.

The latter took the man and the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to court in March to have his name replaced with hers on the document.

It is the first case of its kind since NSW law was amended in 2008 to permit two women who had a child while in a relationship to be listed as parents. The legislation was retrospective.

The judge said the three adults had an amicable relationship in the beginning, and the man visited the women's house to listen to the baby's heartbeat.

'PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon woman who tried to circumcise her 3-month-old son at home after reading the Old Testament and watching YouTube videos has been sentenced to five years of probation.

Keemonta Peterson pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal mistreatment. The 30-year-old Portland woman must also undergo mental health treatment.

Peterson called 911 and the boy was rushed to a hospital last October after her botched effort left the infant bleeding uncontrollably and in intense pain. A prosecutor says he has fully recovered.
...
Multnomah County Circuit Judge Eric Bergstrom told Peterson on Monday that "the reality is you love your children and had absolutely no intent to harm your child."'

Did you see the photos from the nationwide GovAbuse protest this past Friday, Aug. 12, 2011 in Sacramento, CA?

False allegations of abuse are a major concern to parents going through divorce and custody cases, and even families with children in foster care. This protest was covered by TV stations, newspapers, and online news outlets.

The Partner Violence Reduction Act reduces false allegations in 5 ways:

Comment by Ulf:
What I don´t understand, is, how you can stand on trial for wanting to publish addresses - without actually doing it?

'Less than three weeks ago a woman's testimony sent Gresham police searching for a rape suspect, but today the woman was arrested following a Multnomah County Grand Jury indictment that accuses her of lying to authorities.

Danielle Elizabeth Hayes, 35, admitted to police that she conceived the entire July 25 story to "cover-up personal indiscretions," according to Gresham police.

Officers arrived to a Borders book store at about 5 p.m. to find a distraught Hayes explaining how she was grabbed by two men and sexually assaulted in a secluded area on the west side of the store.'

'Though NCAA rules require men’s tennis programs to share the equivalency of 4.5 scholarships between the team, it allows female squads eight full rides.

“I’ve had defending NCAA champions on a partial scholarship,” men’s tennis head coach Manuel Diaz said. “While it’s not likely for any top men’s program to have a tennis player on a full scholarship, just about everybody on the women’s side does.”

And the inequality extends beyond the tennis court.

In every sport played by both men and women, the University’s female athletes average $7,151 a year in scholarships more than their male counterparts, according to numbers reported to the NCAA.

But associate athletic director Carla Williams said this wasn’t a choice made by the University.

To begin to understand the mayhem in our cities, look at a set of figures on literacy rates that came out a week before the riots began. Teaching a child to read and write is not difficult or expensive. Much poorer countries manage to do it. The statistics in the UK are staggering. A full 63 per cent of white working-class boys and just over half of black Caribbean boys at the age of 14 have a reading age of seven or below. How does that translate into the criminality on our streets? Humiliated in lessons, by 14, the young men I interviewed had either dropped out or were excluded. They then spent their time hanging around on the streets, turning up to school only to sell drugs or stolen goods.

'TRIVANDRUM — Harassed husbands in Kerala have urged the government to scrap the Women’s Commission and establish a Family Commission in its place to ensure fair hearing to men who are tortured by women.

The demand was made at seminar organised by ‘Janamithram Janakeeya Neethi Vedi’ (JJNV), an association of harassed husbands, in the state’s northern city of Calicut on Sunday to formulate strategies to protect the men’s rights.

The speakers at the seminar said that the Women’s Commission was being misused by women for various purposes, including extraction money from men. It seldom tries to verify the genuineness of complaints filed by women.

The speakers also came down heavily on the family courts, saying that it was biased against men. They listen only to the women in most cases. This, the speakers, said was leading to wrong convictions.

'Delivering the Helen Joseph Memorial Lecture at the University of Johannesburg on August 10, Barker spoke on the theme Men and Gender Equality: Between the Urgency and the Confusion. He is the international director of Instituto Promunda, a Brazilian non-governmental organisation that promotes the end of violence against women and children.

In no way does Dr Barker exonerate men who are violent towards women, but he argues that in order to deal with the oppression of women, men must be included in gender equality interventions: the difficulties in their lives need to be addressed, too.

He explains that most men "who have made women's lives hell have themselves had hellish lives".

Barker says that during research on women's rights, men are seldom asked what they think of women's rights. He also argues that men often don't see the benefit of equality with women. Perhaps, suggests Barker, men "might be more supportive of gender equality if they could see something in it for them".'

'The feminists are even oblivious to the pain and agony they inflict on other innocent women along the way. For example, Family Court Judges and Ministry of welfare’s policies of disengaging fathers from children during divorce or separation is hurting not only the fathers, but also the father’s mothers, sisters and all women in the extended family on the side of the father.

'For most of these children come from lone-mother households. And the single most crucial factor behind all this mayhem is the willed removal of the most important thing that socialises children and turns them from feral savages into civilised citizens: a father who is a fully committed member of the family unit.

Of course there are many lone parents who do a tremendous job. But we’re talking here about widespread social collapse. And there are whole areas of Britain, white as well as black, where committed fathers are a wholly unknown phenomenon.

In such areas, successive generations are being brought up only by mothers, through whose houses pass transitory males by whom these women have yet more children — and who inevitably repeat the pattern of lone and dysfunctional parenting.

'A divorcee was awarded £4.3million of her ex-husband's inherited fortune, despite a judge conceding that she had not worked for it.
...
Seeking a lump sum of £6million, on top of £1million that is already in her name, the wife's lawyers said she needed £1.5million to buy and furnish an 'appropriate' new home for herself, along with enough cash to give her an income of over £130,000-a-year.
...
The wife's lawyers argued the 'sharing principle' should be applied to the case, entitling her to a stake in her husband's inherited wealth. But the husband said that would be an 'invasion' of a fortune he owed to his father and which was not built up during the marriage. Mr Justice Moylan said the husband's wealth was 'non-matrimonial' and it was 'fair' to base the wife's award on a 'generous assessment' of her financial needs.

She was awarded a lump sum of £3.3million, on top of the £1million of assets already in her name.'

'A mother-of-ten who nets more than £30,000-a-year in benefits has begged for charity donations to help raise her brood - because her state 'wage' is not enough.

Moira Pearce, 34, has insisted her weekly government handout of £600 is insufficient to feed and clothe her children and she needs donations to survive. The single mum - whose kids are fathered by four ex-partners - has insisted her range of child and family allowance benefits do not meet her weekly outgoings.

Her annual payments funded by the public purse work out at a staggering £31,200-a-year - or £3,120 per child.

Ms Pearce - who lives with unemployed ex-boyfriend Mark Austin, 19, seven daughters and three sons - now wants extra help to save her from going under.'

Here is an important public service announcement from the Prostate Cancer Foundation called "Keep Dad in the Game."

Prostate cancer strikes one out of six men, but prostate cancer research gets only a fraction of the funding that breast cancer research receives.

The number of men who contract prostate cancer is about the same as the number of women getting breast cancer. The disparity in research funding between the two cancers is striking and discriminatory, illustrating yet again the institutionalized misandry existing in Western societies, in my opinion.
