'A poster about sexual assault displayed on the U.S. Navy’s Facebook page is causing quite a stir. Titled “Sexual Assault Prevention Tips,” the poster advises readers not to assault anyone.

“When you see somebody walking by themselves, leave them alone!” it reads. “If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!”

The poster doesn’t stop there.

“USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public,” the poster continues. “Don’t forget, you can’t have sex with somebody unless they are awake!”'

Video report here. A woman defendant physically attacks a female judge. So why is this unusual? Her husband had asked the court to issue a domestic violence order against her for his protection. I think he got it.

'Women are ineligible for membership of Royal St George’s Golf Club, where this year’s Open Championship is being held. As a feminist, I should be outraged at this example of male misogyny.

Video here*. Do you even know this hatred towards men is being aired on national television?

What's Men's Activism doing about it?

*Update: CBS has taken their clip off-line. This is of course because they are too cowardly to show the world what sleaze-bags they are. But we know what sleaze-bags they are and they cannot hide from us, so here is another place you can find the disgusting clip. (The first 4:45 of the clip is commentary; the actual offensive material starts at that point.)
Update 2: With this update I point you to another YT clip from A Voice For Men radio with the offending scene as well as some outstanding commentary. Listen and learn about how hundreds of these mutilations go on every year and are largely unpublicized.

'ORLANDO, Fla (Reuters) - Casey Anthony will appeal her convictions on four charges of lying to detectives who investigated the disappearance and death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, a notice filed on Friday by her attorneys said.

A Florida jury acquitted 25-year-old Anthony earlier this month of killing Caylee, whose skeletal remains were found in woods near the Anthony family home after a five-month search.

Anthony was convicted of misdemeanor charges of lying to detectives searching for her then-missing daughter in 2008. Among other lies, Anthony said she left Caylee with a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez at an Orlando apartment complex.

Anthony was sentenced to the maximum of four years in jail on four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. She will be released on Sunday, less than two weeks after her sentencing date after credit for time served awaiting trial and good behavior.'

'The firm behind the famous 'Got Milk' campaign has risked the wrath of millions - by claiming it is men who suffer the most from premenstrual syndrome.

From August billboard ads commissioned by the California Milk Processor Board will appear across the state as part of their new 'Everything I Do Is Wrong' promotion.

Each show confused men holding cartons of milk accompanied by tag lines such as ‘I'm sorry I listened to what you said and NOT what you meant,’ or ‘I apologize for not reading between the RIGHT lines.’
...
The board's executive director, Steve James, said the internet, radio and billboard campaign is meant to encourage open conversations between men and women about an awkward subject.

‘It was certainly not meant to be offensive,’ he insisted. ‘None of the humour is aimed at women. The humour is aimed at how clueless men are in dealing with emotional situations. All of the humour is built around men's cluelessness,’ he added.'

'For 30 years it has been used to test the fitness of officers who police riots and other outbreaks of serious public disorder.

The so-called 'shield run' involves officers covering a distance of 500 metres in less than two minutes, 45 seconds while wearing full riot gear and carrying a shield.

But when Inspector Diane Bamber, 51, failed to meet the time limit, she claimed she had been left humiliated.

She brought a sex and age discrimination case against her force, Greater Manchester Police, and now stands to win up to £30,000 after an employment tribunal ruled in her favour.

Study here. Excerpt:

'RESULTS
There were no significant differences in sexual drive, erection, ejaculation, and ejaculation latency time between circumcised and uncircumcised men. Masturbatory pleasure decreased after circumcision in 48% of the respondents, while 8% reported increased pleasure. Masturbatory difficulty increased after circumcision in 63% of the respondents but was easier in 37%. About 6% answered that their sex lives improved, while 20% reported a worse sex life after circumcision.

CONCLUSION
There was a decrease in masturbatory pleasure and sexual enjoyment after circumcision, indicating that adult circumcision adversely affects sexual function in many men, possibly because of complications of the surgery and a loss of nerve endings.'

'The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine ran a feature interview (pictured, right) with Fathers and Families’ Board Chairman and founder Ned Holstein, M.D., M.S. on Father’s Day.

In the piece — Fighting dad (6/18/11) — Holstein discussed our shared parenting bill H02684, which has been endorsed by nearly a third of the Massachusetts legislature. Holstein explained:

Women’s groups are also against [the bill], but they can’t turn out a crowd on this issue. The public understands this is good for children…Judges still award [physical] custody to mothers by default; fathers still see their children every other weekend and maybe Tuesday nights. It’s a cookie-cutter solution that has outlived its usefulness.

The consequences of this, Holstein noted, include:

'A California woman is in jail, accused of drugging her husband and cutting off his penis.
...
This sort of attack is notable more for its severity than its rarity. Wives and girlfriends abuse and assault their partners far more often than people realize, but the genitals are rarely targeted. The most infamous penis attacker was Lorena Bobbitt, who severed her husband John’s penis with a knife in 1993.

Despite popular belief, studies have shown that men and women are equal-opportunity domestic abusers. Women assault men almost as often as men assault women when you look at actual numbers of incidences regardless of severity. Men, however, usually cause greater injury than women do because they are often physically stronger.

Female abusers often use weapons or drugs to assist in the attacks. In this case, Becker allegedly used both drugs and a kitchen knife to assault her husband.

'“She’s just livin’ the dream.”

That’s the text that I received from a woman friend this morning in regard to the grisly Catherine Kieu Becker story out of Garden Grove, California.

Ms. Becker allegedly served her estranged husband a drugged meal. When he passed out, she tied him to the bed and waited for him to regain consciousness. As he watched in horror, Becker allegedly cut off his penis with a knife and put it down the garbage disposal.

She is being held on $1 million bail on charges of “aggravated mayhem” that could land her in prison for life.

Her statement to law enforcement at the scene: "He deserved it."

As I surf around cyberspace and listen to the comments of some of the women I know, there are jokes and laughter. Of course, some women are appalled and shocked, but many more find the mutilation to be a source of amusement.

Personally, I am disgusted and furious by the double standard.

'There are a few things women have to give up - and one of them is sexism.

I'm not talking about being the victim. I'm talking about being the perpetrator. It's something that's become known as "reverse sexism", or more over-dramatically, "man bashing". This is when women denigrate, mock or objectify men or otherwise treat them in such a way that, if the roles were reversed, feminist groups would be up in arms.

A case in point that has long annoyed me is the phrase "all men are bastards". It's a phrase emblazoned on T-shirts, desk diaries, posters, calendars and is even the name of a knife block in the shape of a man with knives stabbing through it.

Get it?” Bubba01 said, “Because men do most of the violence, and reversals are funny.

Teenage girls shouldn’t have to worry about hypertension. But an eating pattern created to control hypertension seems to help them prevent excess weight gain, too.

At Boston University Medical Center, Jonathan Berz looked at 10 years of national survey data on about 2,300 girls, starting at age 9.

Berz says girls who ate closer to the National Institutes of Health’s DASH plan – which stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension – tended to gain less weight. But he says:

``This sample of American girls were not eating nearly enough fruits and vegetables. And increasing the amount of these foods, plus whole grains and low-fat dairy, is likely to result in less weight gain.’’ (9 seconds)
