NCFM NOTE: Jyoti Singh, the physiotherapy student who recently died in India after being horrifically abused and raped by six men on a bus had a male friend with her, Awninder Pandey, He too was beaten, stripped, and pitched out in the street to die.

Feminist Feel-Good Science Explains Domestic Violence

By
Feminist Feel-Good Science Explains Domestic Violence

NCFM NOTE: the article below suggests that the authors of the research noted in the article are steeped in feminist ideology. It appears their project is disguised as science and the results thereof were in essence predetermined, or at least highly predictable. Feminists are infamous for using simple math to get nonsense. If  the numbers don’t work it’s no big deal, the researchers squeeze the data to make it fit their beliefs. Here, Campbell describes it as “rationalizing inconvenient results by re-configuring them to make a statement about social justice.” He concludes with, “They take statistics-as-science claims to a whole new level, and it feeds the rising problem of feel-good fallacies replacing data-driven conclusions.” Thank you Mr. Campbell. Please visit his website http://www.science20.com/Also see NCFM member Joe Manthey’s opinion piece on feminist false domestic violence statistics. _________________________________________ By Hank Campbell |...

NCFM Montana Chapter President Chris Thompson, “Fatherless leads to mass murder and suicide”

By
NCFM Montana Chapter President Chris Thompson, “Fatherless leads to mass murder and suicide”

In 1994 adolescent elephants were discovered senselessly killing other animals in Africa, later it was found due to the fact they had been removed from their fathers, creating a scene where “there are no adult bulls around to keep them in check…So they’re highly aggressive and are testing their strength on other animals.” Today, in the United States, sons are removed from their fathers at alarming rates, a by-product of the increasing number of failed marriages. We see the result in tragedies like the recent Newton, Conn. shootings and are left wondering “what is driving our children to murder?” Warren Farrell recently responded that the reported perpetrator of the Newton massacre, Adam Lanza, had begun a downward spiral following the divorce of his parents. Farrell continues that only one of the 62 mass murders in the past three decades...

NCFM Member Paul Elam, President of A Voice For Men, “The coming military witch hunts…”

NCFM NOTE: Upon reading this article one of our board members ask us to take it down because someone might think we condone sexual assault. Well, as you can see we agreed to disagree since your are reading this. That said, anyone who thinks NCFM or any of it’s members condone sexual assault in any way, shape, fashion or form is misguided. What we don’t condone is false accusations of sexual assault. The article below is concerned with facilitating false accusations, not condoning sexual assaults.

NCFM Advisor Warren Farrell article published in USToday, “Column: Guns don’t kill people — our sons do”

Warren Farrell5:19p.m. EST January 6, 2013 We need to find ways to stop the childhood injuries that lead boys to murder. Story Highlights • Our daughters do not kill. Why the difference? • For boys, the road to successful manhood has crumbled. • It’s time we go beyond fighting over guns to raising our sons. After Newtown, Conn., parents cried out, “What’s making our children kill?” But it is not our children who are killing. It is our sons. All but one of the 62 mass killings in the past 30 years was committed by boys or men. We respond by blaming guns, our inattentiveness to mental health, violence in the media or video games, or family values. Yes, all are players, but our daughters are able to find the same guns in the same homes, are about as...

Reauthorizing VAWA in current form could be grave mistake… or worse.

Reauthorizing VAWA in current form could be grave mistake… or worse.

By E. Everett Bartlett, president, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments – 01/07/13 10:45 AM ET The 112th Congress adjourned last week without reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The failure of Congress to pass either the Senate- or House-approved (S. 1925 or H.R. 4970) versions was the by-product both of partisan wrangling, as well as acerbic personal attacks that were later derided by the Huffington Post as “incendiary and extreme.” But the last-ditch negotiations between Vice President Joe Biden and House Leader Eric Cantor side-stepped the most important question of all: Are VAWA-funded programs working? Most VAWA funds are directed to beefing up the criminal justice system’s response to domestic violence. But according to Angela Moore Parmley, PhD of the Department of Justice, “We have no evidence to date that VAWA has led to a decrease in the...

NCFM President files a class action sex discrimination lawsuit against the Los Angeles Fours Seasons Hotel Westlake

By NCFM Secretary Al Rava, Esq. NCFM president Harry Crouch is following on the footsteps of NCFM vice-president Marc Angelucci who, in 2007, prevailed in the landmark California Supreme Court “Ladies’ Night” sex discrimination case of Marc Angelucci v. Century Supper Club (2007) 41 Cal.4th 160.  Angelucci ruled that men who were charged more than women to enter a supper club did not have to ask the offending business for equal treatment in order to have standing to file a sex discrimination lawsuit.  NCFM’s amicus brief to the California Supreme Court was instrumental in the Angelucci decision. The latest NCFM-related lawsuit to champion equal rights for men and women and to eradicate archaic and illegal Ladies’ Night promotions, was filed by NCFM president Harry Crouch on New Year’s Eve.  Harry filed a class action lawsuit in Los Angeles County...

Women’s Duty To Men

By
Women’s Duty To Men

Women’s Duty To Men by JOE ZAMBONI on DECEMBER 28, 2012 The duties that American men have to American women are many, and consistently enforced by a variety of heavy-handed mechanisms such as mandatory jail-time, court-imposed fines, the yanking of your driver’s license, and separation from your children. As if that wasn’t enough to force you to comply, there is also being disqualified for financial aid in college, community shaming, and denial of sex. The duties of men to women very importantly include the duty to protect. This more generally could be defined as the duty to be drafted, to go off to war and die, to be maimed for life, or to be tortured by the psychological harm that one suffered as a result of one’s violent military experience. On a more personal level, this duty takes the form of the...

Steven Svoboda   Hanna Rosin, a senior editor of The Atlantic, has produced an interesting, potentially groundbreaking book based on a cover article she wrote in 2010 for the magazine she edits.  The End of Men suffers from some annoying shortcomings but also has much to recommend it and is the first book of which I am aware to direct itself to what could eventually become a calamitous crisis: the failure of men to keep up with women in employment and in life.   We are in the midst of a transition that to some extent has been going on for three decades or more.  Women’s people skills are becoming more important in the new...

Out Of Desperation, North Korean Women Become Breadwinners by Louisa Lim December 28, 201212:11 PM Listen to the Story, NPR, All Things Considered, but remember NPR is pro women and anti men, so take this with a few grains of salt and a healthy portion of doubt. NPR creates the impression that unemployed North Korean men do nothing. They don’t cook, clean, do chores, look for work, help with raising children… they just wake up, wait for their helpless wives, like those above, to come home from work so they can beat them, then the unemployed husbands go to sleep, wake up and do the same day after day after day.

Charles Corry, Ph.D, Frontline officer view of domestic violence laws

Frontline officer view of domestic violence laws The author is a 28-year veteran of a metropolitan police force in a western state Mandatory and pro-arrest policies pushed by radical feminists and the federal government regarding domestic violence have all but eliminated officer discretion on the matter throughout the country. Fear of the potential consequences for using discretion has our officers in a headlock. Few have the moral courage to exercise it resulting in many unnecessary arrests that consequently damage the American family. Scenario: A woman has been drinking adult beverages throughout the evening. Her husband and she argue over finances. She tries to walk to the car and he grabs her by the wrist in order to prevent her from driving. She screams, pulls away and falls twisting her ankle in the driveway while the kids look on. The...

NCMF faxes letter to all members of Congress about the hypocracy of those pushing for Senate version of VAWA

Shameless Hypocrisy In recent weeks, Domestic Violence Industry operatives – including several lawmakers – have claimed the Violence Against Women Act needs to help “all” victims of domestic violence. Yet, these same people appear on talk show after talk show advocating for VAWA to provide for immigrant women, American Indian women, lesbian women…but no mention of men, heterosexual, gay, or other. The VAWA funded National Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s (NCADV) massive directory of over 2000 domestic violence programs notes how vital it is to advocate for “women and children.” Some shelter programs in the directory allow mothers with male children. Thousands of programs are listed for women. There are none specifically for males. Yet, the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey and numerous other scientific studies found men and women equally engage in partner aggression. Moreover, intimate...

NCFM sends letter to Congress to Stop the Violence Against Women Act’s War on Men

The “War on Women” essentially is a power and control grab and guilt trip diversion by the National Organization of Women (NOW) cartel.  No one is waging war on women. However, it is impossible to rationally conclude that political forces are not waging “War on Men.” The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is center stage to the War Against Men. NCFM Advisor Phil Cook and I over a decade ago discussed what I call the Women Industry Wheel (WIW), though it might be more aptly called the Women Industry War Wagon Wheel (WIWWW). Phil thought VAWA was the hub of the wheel while I still think VAWA is the grease that keeps it turning. The hub, in my opinion, is radical feminism’s “politically correct” influence and resulting control of our educational system, especially in higher education. Looking at things...

Gordon E. Finley, Ph.D. _______________________ By Gordon E. Finley, professor of Psychology Emeritus, Florida International University – 12/13/12 06:39 PM ET While the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) claims to fairly protect all victims of domestic violence, in reality it intentionally discriminates against about half of the victims — men (“Progressive groups pressure House GOP to pass Violence Against Women Act,” Dec. 11). First, social science research literature is unambiguously clear. Domestic violence is initiated about equally by men and women; slightly more women than men are physically harmed, but men nonetheless still represent more than 40 percent of the physically harmed...

NCFM NOTE: This guy is stupid beyond belief. Judge McCree was barely hanging onto his judgeship after sending a nude picture of himself (waist up and buff) to his female bailiff. Her husband complained. Judge McCreep was censored. Then the jerk along with jerkessa Geniene La’Shay Mott played sex games in his office, get pregnant, and conspired to send Mott’s ex husband to jail for failure to pay child support! Who let this guy out of law school? But it takes two to Karmasutra all over his desk, chairs, couch, floor… Ms. Mott must have known she was committing adultery. She surely knew that conspiring with the judge to send her ex  husband to jail was at least tampering with justice. But the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office won’t charge her.

NCFM sends letter to Kansas City Chiefs re Belcher/Perkins murder/suicide.

NCFM NOTE: After numerous media reports exploiting the Jovan Belcher murder/suicide as a “domestic violence” incident we felt it necessary to send a letter to the Kansas City Chiefs. Various women groups used this horrendous family failure to promote their own interests including at least one that volunteered to work with the Chiefs to prevent such things in the future. We thought it might be more productive if an organization for men, that is an organization that works with men, one that better understands their needs, helped. Hence our letter. Here’s an example of the shameful exploitation of this incident to promote passage of the Violence Against Women Act, which by the way, if reauthorized would do nothing to prevent murder/suicide. “MSNBC contributor Karen Finney used the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide to attack Republicans. Finney stated that the Belcher tragedy...

Female Teachers Give Male Pupils Lower Grades, Claims Study

Female teachers mark male pupils more harshly than they do their female students, research has claimed. Additionally, girls tend to believe male teachers will look upon them more favourably than female teaching staff, but men treat all students the same, regardless of gender. The study, released on Thursday, told 1,200 students in 29 schools to place financial bets on who would give them higher grades: external examiners or their teacher.  Conducted by professors Amine Ouazad and Lionel Page, for the London School of Economic’s Centre for Economic Performance, the report said: “Male students tend to bet less when assessed by a female teacher than by an external examiner or by a male teacher. This is consistent with female teachers’ grading practices; female teachers give lower grades to male students. “Female students bet more when assessed by a male...

Finley, Ph.D. Gordon Finley: Permanent alimony unfair to so many http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/opinion/fl-readers-view-permanent-alimony-20121203,0,639327.story Thank you for this terrific editorial (“Change permanent alimony,” Nov. 25). If they have worked all their lives, most men in the current retirement generation look forward to comfort in their golden years. However, if the family courts have assigned them permanent alimony, the golden years are enjoyed only by the ex-wife, as the former husband either is required to keep working or to continue to pay generally exorbitant sums to his ex from whatever he has left in old age. Permanent alimony today is not fair...

Permanent alimony virtually mandates single-mother households so that the recipient doesn’t lose their life-long alimony payments. Second, in today’s economy, many young adult children of divorce are in dire need of financial assistance. So, who is most deserving of the payer’s money: The former spouse, the children...

NCFM VP Marc Angelucci, Esq., comments on Berlin Conference on Male Troubles

Again, they’re way ahead of us.  “Men in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have all come together in their respective countries in recent years to establish associations focusing on problems facing males and the Austrian Labor Ministry has even created a section devoted specifically to the subject. In 2004, the ministry held the first ever European fatherhood conference.  Schröder herself explained her own focus on men’s issues in an open letter published in the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in the spring of 2011. ‘We have become so used the monopolistic claims of women’s rights activists on issues relating to gender equality that the idea of including boys and men to a greater degree in the debate has, in the best case, been ignored and in the worst case been branded as a betrayal of the goals pursued by the women’s...

Child custody and the sound of reason

By
Child custody and the sound of reason

High conflict child custody disputes show their ugly faces all to often in my world. Seldom does a day go by that our office phones or email accounts are at peace. Men and women, fathers and mothers, grandparents, lovers, and others overwhelmed with horrific emotional pain and unnecessary legal debacles reach out for help thousands of miles away or from just down the street. A last resort. Lost. Confused. Sometimes suicidal. Stretched to limits no human should endure. Many, returning veterans. Veterans who offered life and limb to protect the United States of America, their home, and our legislative, legal, and social systems that would in turn, without mercy, absent compassion, often devoid or reason, and infected with irrational obfuscations, deny them the love of their children and their children the love of their parents, most often a loving...

NCFM Member Elijah Ward, “Never give up!”, the fourth installment in a continuing series

Jeff entered into the New Hampshire divorce courts like most fathers.  Using no-fault divorce, his wife sued him, filed a motion for a secret hearing, where his children were taken from him, a monthly payment for child support was ordered to prevent his being able to afford representation, and a guardian ad litem was appointed to provide expert witness testimony that the children were harmed with Jeff, in spite of the fact that the guardian ad litem was not an expert on anything. In order for the removal of the children to stick, expert testimony is needed to provide cover for the judges, because judges are supposed to rule independently on the evidence brought forward by the parties to support their cases.  It wouldn’t look objective if the judges brought forward the evidence and then ruled on it, so...

NCFM VP Marc Angelucci and Republic of Georgia Liaison Carl Augustsson join protest at Academy of Pediatrics over circumcision double standards in New Orleans

Female infant circumcision is rightfully illegal but it is Ok to circumcise infant males! Bull. On October 20, 2012, NCFM members Carl Agustsson and Marc Angelucci participated in a protest against infant male genital cutting outside of the national meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) at the Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.  The protest was organized by the organization Intact America to challenge the AAP for its recent decision that folded to political pressure and altered its prior position that there are no medical benefit for routine infant male circumcision.  The AAP’s new report still did not recommend circumcision but found there are medical benefits that outweighs the harms. In 2010, the AAP issued a report stating ”female genital mutilation” is unacceptable other than a non-mutilating incision, or “cultural nick.”  Then, in response to public outcry, the AAP changed its position...

NCFM Member Elijah Ward, the third installment in a continuing series, “How to Eat a Guardian ad Litem for lunch”

After the fathers in New Hampshire got together in recent years via social media, we came to realize that even though the facts of our cases were different, the courts treated our cases in similar ways.  Sequential actions were conducted that first took our children away in secret hearings that we had no recourse to.  Then, we were called in for a hearing about the children, we were hit with immediate child support orders, which often prevented us from affording competent legal representation.  Thirdly, we couldn’t get our children back, and if we did, it was years later and in extremely restricted ways.  Lastly, after the children were taken and our income and assets attached, we were threatened with incarceration for non-payment of fees to court officials or the custodial parents, most always mothers, resulting in homelessness and loss...

NCFM TRANSITIONS, Journal of Men’s Perspectives, October 2012 Edition

Transitions is generally a benefit of NCFM membership. However, after well over a  year of being without an editor or producing Transitions, it is being published again. First published in October 1982 Transitions has become the longest running Men’s Rights publication on the planet. Since NCFM is an all volunteer organization sustaining the tradition is, to say the least, difficult. This edition of Transitions is our first online edition. Previous editions, all 139 of them, were hard copies, most recently produced in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Production and distribution costs became cost prohibitive. What you may soon be reading, should you choose to read the current edition by clicking on this link for Transitions , will be available for one week. It will then be deleted from our website and available to current members (those who are current on their membership...

NCFM VP Marc Angelucci, Esq., DV Awareness Month Op-Ed printed in prestigious Los Angeles Daily Journal

The Los Angeles Daily Journal, which is the primary legal newspaper in California, last week confirmed that they scheduled for publication Mr. Angelucci’s op ed below in yesterdays edition… for DV Awareness Month.  Unfortunately, the Daily Journal is subscription only so there is no link we can provide to the published article. By Marc E. Angelucci October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And on Oct. 4, President Barack Obama made his　yearly　speech to raise awareness about this serious problem in the U.S. Unfortunately, like other presidents before him, his speech only referred to victims as “women,” leaving　male victims and their children invisible as usual. When Obama mentions our soldiers fighting overseas, he rightfully says “men and women” to include the minority. Why don’t domestic violence victims don’t deserve the same dignity? Numbers shouldn’t matter. All victims, male or female,　should be...

Vladek Filler faces political imprisonment while persecuting ADA Mary Kellett may go unsanctioned after disciplinary hearing

NCFM NOTE: Despicable cronyism at it’s blatant worse. It’s hard to dig up enough words to describe this sham under the guise of justice. The people of Maine are paying huge salaries for district attorneys to persecute rather than prosecute. Maybe the label “Damn Yankees” is appropriate here. How come the citizens of Maine are not demanding the resignations of this gang of prosecutors?  It may be a cliche, but the treatment of Vladek Filler would make Salem witch trial prosecutors blush. AVfM has been involved closely with this case. At the conclusion he AVfM article below are instructions on how you can help. Please do. We absolutely have to root out this circle the wagons corruption… _________________________________ Vladek Filler has been ordered to report to jail on October 17, 2012.  For anyone not familiar with the details of...

NFL: A Crucial Change Campaign? Penn State abuse scandal October 9, 2012 By: Christopher Thompson As the dust settles on the notorious Penn State scandal, we are afforded time to reflect on exactly what has occurred; former Penn State Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky has been sentenced to 30 to 60 years for sexually assaulting 10 children in 15 years, rightfully removed from the general populace for the remainder of his life. But why has Penn State been punished with sanctions continuing longer than enrollment of any current student? And why has Joe Paterno, previously the winningest coach in NCAA history, been removed from the books after one-quarter of his wins are retracted? A terrifying change is taking place in the game of football, following an assistant coach’s atrocious decisions, and these changes are impacting campuses around the country, even...

The letter below, GOP must court male vote, appears in the print edition of The Washington Times on the morning of the first presidential debate, Wednesday October 3, 2012. It is followed by an Editorial that also appears on the same morning… Gordon E. Finley, Ph.D. GOP must court male vote Women have every reason in the world to re-elect President Obama. He has given them virtually everything they want. For reasons incomprehensible, the GOP has failed to recognize or meet the needs of men in today’s gender-reversed world. Today’s boys, men and fathers are not the boys, men and fathers of “the greatest generation.” They are on the wrong side of virtually all gender gaps — and promising to equalize those gender gaps may well be the GOP’s last real chance to save the House, gain the Senate...

State Enabled Entrapment – Protective Orders By Bill Ronan, LICSW Your wife or girlfriend has decided she is done with you.  But she wants the house, kids, car, and citizenship, whatever.  So she gets an order for protection (OFP) that kicks you out of the house and you no longer have access to these things.  But she feels you might want them and that you think there must be a misunderstanding of things because no domestic violence occurred that you could identify except perhaps for her hitting you, or the abuse of filing false allegations so that the police would do all of the abuse against you.  So you think it must be a misunderstanding and that eventually she will come to her senses. It’s Christmas, she calls you explaining that the kid’s miss you and that she wants...

Derrick Hunter sues Maryland Small Arms Range over ‘Ladies’ Day” promotion

NOTE: In California such promotions have been illegal for years. The Unruh Act prohibits discrimination based on gender. Over the years NCFM and many of its members have filed actions under Unruh to stop discrimination based on gender in hundreds of businesses, including car washes, hotels, bars, restaurants, airlines, and so forth. Our attorneys have even filed actions on behalf of women who were charged more for haircuts than were men with similar length hair. Please remember, to our knowledge, NCFM is one of the few, if not the only, well established organization which continuously supports true equitable treatment for all of us. We applaud Derrick Hunter’s courage. After reading the article below please visit Channel 7′s website and watch the video.

After the Immolation of Sgt. Thomas Ball By Elijah Ward, The immolation of Sgt. Thomas Ball galvanizes fathers across New Hampshire and serves as a threshold event for the various players in the drama. Before Thomas Ball‘s identity was disclosed, Fathers checked on each other.  Everyone knew others who have been abused and humiliated by the family courts for years could have done such an act.  Which father in New Hampshire hadn’t had his kids removed contrary to law for false allegations, his assets seized and transferred to the mother?  Which father hadn’t been threatened with jail if he tried to fight for custody.  It had happened to just about all.  In fact, New Hampshire has one of the worst rates of joint custody in the country.  In spite of a law that presumes joint custody for divorcing parents,...

They state, “All women who have lived through violence and abuse should have the certainty that the law will protect them — no matter their race, creed, color, and religion or immigration status. Unfortunately, Congress is now considering proposals that would erode this certainty — and its failure to act is already causing harm.” Sadly, it...

NCFM is a nonprofit educational organization that raises awareness about how sex discrimination adversely affects men and boys. It is the oldest and largest men’s rights organization in the world. You can learn more about NCFM by visiting our website at www.ncfm.org.   Several people have brought to my attention a gender discriminatory poster hanging from a wall in the South County Courthouse, a copy of which is below.   The listed ten stressful events for children of divorce are in no way gender specific. The blatant Dad bashing is unconscionable and indefensible. Can you imagine a young person seeing this...
