The Eyes of the World are upon us!

	Lee Newman writes "The first Commission on the Status of Men in the World has been established in NH. This Commission was appointed by the Governor to address health concerns and other issues that affect men. This is a very important and necessary initiative considering the high rates of male suicide and other major health, family and even the legal concerns of men. VIP/SAFE-NH will take an active role in assisting the Commission regarding the issues surrounding violence against boys and men. Everyday we see the impact on men caused by the gender bias that is frequently present in provision of services and compassionate understanding. We see the impact on boys who are beginning to believe that they are going to grow up to be “bad men”, because of the gender bias they observe and experience as young children. After a while, if society only hears one version of the ”truth” they begin to believe that it is the only truth…we hope that this Commission will bring another perspective forward that needs to be considered. Depression, isolation, suicide, stress related illnesses, emotional trauma, homelessness and other issues have a serious impact on the men and boys who go without the services and care provided to women and girls…it is time to “take gender out” of these issues and ”put humanity in”! We hope that those in our State who have been prejudiced against the formation of this Commission will eventually see it as a good thing for all of us who enjoy the “quality of life” in NH and want to make sure that ALL of our citizens have the chance to pursue that as well! Please use this link to voice your opinions or show support for this important Commission! "

Please consider a new State Motto (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Saturday November 29, @10:59AM EST (#1) "Isolation" The feminist agenda has been doing everything in its "power and control" to further isolate men through its family destruction strategy. Isolation further contributes to each and every problem that men are affected by. It is primarily through the internet that men have finally begun to reach out and address the societal maladies that plague so many men. Mensactivism, and other caring places are a blessing to the "Beat Dead" Fathers, and men who have endured the savages of 30 years of a rabid feminist agenda, an agenda that actively pursues the destruction of men's lives. Instead of having a caring government, concerned about our health and welfare, most states are accomplices in the militant feminist pogrom killing men. ...but no longer New Hampshire. Congratulations New Hampshire. You get my huMANitarian award of the year. I know this may seem trivial, but in listening to that Public Media broadcast of a N. Hampshire Men's Commission meeting, I noticed them talking about men having a higher death rate in N. Hampshire than the rest of the U.S. At least they said, they wanted to look at that. Might I suggest a different state motto. Instead of "Live Free or Die," which in my opinion, just underscores the historical disposability of men, how about, "Live Free and Live Long." At the very least I think that sexist motto speaks volumes about who New Hamshire (and America) expects to pay for their freedom, and how. On the New Hampshire, commemorative quarter, showing the “Old Man of the Mountain” are the words, Live Free or Die.” Ironically, I heard a while back that the Granite outcropping, referred to as, “The Old Man of the Mountain” crumbled. I’m not very superstitious, but maybe that was an omen telling all the good people of New Hampshire, “Hey, it’s time for a paradigm shift in the way we look at the old images and stereotypes of men.” Live Free and Live Long good people of New Hampshire. Sincerely, Ray

When coupled with men's higher death rate statistics. Ray
