UK Family Court Judges Responding to Protests

The UK Guardian has an article here which reports that family court judges are beginning to educate people about the problems divorce causes in an attempt to be more equitable and reduce the number of fathers who picket in front of their homes. This kind of court reform is very powerful coming from inside the system itself, and proves that men's voices can no longer be ignored so callously.

Union Leader Coverage of Stop Hating Men

Josh Adams from the Union Leader interviewed me and wrote an article on the formation of Stop Hating Men at UNH. I feel the article was a bit more confrontational or "SHM vs. SHARPP" than I would have liked, but as we all know, the media thrives on conflict. The article was very good in other ways, though.

Armenian-American Fraternity Brought Together by Fathers

donaldcameron1 writes "This article from Business Wire is wonderful example of just how important children have always been to their fathers, and how important fathers are to their children.
Specifically: "
The Armenian-American TREX Fraternity was founded in Fresno during the 1920's. Inspired by hatred, prejudice and ignorance, the group was founded as a social club by Armenian fathers whose children weren't being invited to school events. They formed their own social club to fill the void. The fraternity now boasts 1,000 members and 15 chapters statewide, with 70 members in the Orange County chapter." I have e-mailed, the Armenian National Committee of America for a more appropriate link to The Armenian-American TREX Fraternity but have not received it yet."

Men's Family Life Related to Stroke Risk

Matthew writes "This article from Yahoo! news talks about a recent study from Israel that shows that mens risk of stroke is reduced if they have a happy family life. Men were also less likely to have a stroke if they had fewer financial concerns."

Amy Gehring Admits Having Sex with Pupil

Douglas Rome, alphamale
, and warble all submitted news about the recent confession of Amy Gehring in media interviews, after her trial ended where she was acquitted. warble writes "This article quotes Amy Gehring as “…having sex with a 16-year-old pupil, saying she felt "quite stupid for all of the things I did". Where are the feminists on this issue? Worse, Ms. Gehring was previously “identified as a "risk" to children, but still allowed to work in another school.” This would not have happened if this teacher were a male." She has a lot of nerve for confessing this after the trial. Could she really feel bad about the situation, or is she mocking the judicial system and gloating that she got away with it?

Georgia Proposes Another Father-Friendly Bill

Wayne writes "It looks like the State of Georgia sees the massive injustices heaped upon men and is ACTING to correct some of the problems. Georgians for Child Support Reform Supports
House Bill 672 because: The current child support guidelines result in excessive and inappropriate awards leaving all but the very wealthy with little left to support themselves. The incomes and child costs of BOTH parents are part of the proposed new guideline. Child-related tax benefits are shared with both parents as part of House Bill 672.
House Bill 672 would replace the current guidelines that use only the one parent's income. Through fair and equitable child support awards, children will no longer be treated as a financial prize by either parent. www.gachildsupport.org."

UNH Student Creates Stop Hating Men Campus Group

Scott Garman (now why does that name sound familiar?) is apparently fed up with the way men at the University of New Hampshire were being treated, particularly after the vandalism of a fraternity house by radicals who want to portray men as rapists. His goals with the newly found Stop Hating Men group are to bring men and women from the University community together to speak out against male bashing at UNH. The organization has a web site which can be seen here.

Boycott Ford For Discrimination Against Men

My latest column, which should also appear later today on Wendy McElroy's ifeminists.com, examines the blatant discrimination against men (particularly white men) exercised recently by Ford Motor Co., toward both its employees and its buying public (via a male bashing commercial). Although Ford recently settled the lawsuit brought against it by employees, and pulled the ad campaign from most of its Canadian market, it'll take more than lawsuits and complaints to an advertising panel to change the company's ways.

Wendy McElroy: Take Back Valentine's Day

In her latest column on Fox News, Wendy McElroy closely examines how gender (anti-male) feminists have attempted to take over and destroy Valentine's Day with V-Day (the V stands for Vagina, Violence [against women by men], and Victory) on college campuses. Among other "celebrations" is usually the presentation of Eve Ensler's male-bashing and child abuse-celebrating play The Vagina Monologues. In McElroy's words: Since 1998, V-Day events have been sponsored on university campuses across America. The stated purpose is to raise awareness. In reality, V-Day embodies the same double standard and dishonesty that has characterized most feminist pronouncements for decades.

Georgia Passes Paternity Fraud Bill

In an incredible victory, Georgia's Senate passed a bill giving men recourse in the event of paternity fraud. This means that when a divorced man takes a DNA test and is proven not to be the father of a child, he is not obligated to pay child support for that child. This common sense law was a long and difficult struggle, but in the end, the efforts paid off. For example, in the GA Senate, the bill passed with a 90% vote in favor of it. You can read a press release about the victory on PaternityFraud.com.
