New report looks at best practices for enhancing the teaching & learning of minority boys in single-sex classrooms

Media Release For Immediate Release New report looks at best practices for enhancing the teaching & learning of minority boys in single-sex classrooms North Bay, ON, Sept. 7, 2012 — Nipissing University, Schulich School of Education, tenured, full professor Dr. Douglas Gosse has released a groundbreaking new study that uncovers optimal teaching and learning approaches and strategies for minority boys, via the implementation of single-sex classrooms. Canadian boys, as in the USA and abroad, have greater literacy problems than girls. Boys also voice more disengagement with school, account for most suspensions, drop out of school, and commit suicide at significantly greater rates. Minority boys are particularly at risk. The results of this study arise from four weeks of data collection in an inner city school, grades 7-8, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Most of the students are of African, Caribbean,...

NCFM PR Director Steven Svoboda, Neonatal Circumcision Violates Children’s Rights, Needlessly Amputating Functional Tissue

NCFM NOTE:  Mr. Svoboda is one of the world’s leading anti-circumcision experts and advocates. He is a Human Rights Attorney and President of Attorneys for the Rights of Children. You can follow his work more closely at the ARC website. Neonatal Circumcision Violates Children’s Rights, Needlessly Amputating Functional Tissue The long awaited circumcision policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) may be most notable for what it does not address.  The statement steadfastly omits any analysis of the foreskin, its erogenous, protective, and immunological functions, or crucially, the impact its removal has on normal sexual functioning and on the health and quality of life. The AAP’s Task Force on Circumcision ignores a child’s well-established human and legal rights to decide for himself at an age of understanding whether he wants to part with his foreskin. Instead, the...

NCFM VP Marc Angelucci, Representative Akin had good reason to use the term “legitimate rape”

NCFM NOTE From Harry Crouch: Domestic Violence Industry operatives are using Representative Todd Akin’s poorly chosen words to coerce other legislators to pass their version of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization, the version that still discriminates against half the population, i.e., men. NCFM VP Marc Angelucci in the article below clarifies Representative Akin’s comments unlike the media’s interpretation which, as usual, targets only the sensational. Please circulate this far and wide, send copies to your elected officials, and let’s counter the propaganda of the destructive Domestic Violence Industry.

Tiffany Marie Smith behind bars for making false accusations!

NCFM NOTE: Paul Elam’s and Dean Esmay’s unrelenting support of Gordon Smith were instrumental in the arrest of his falsely accusing wife and dismissal of charges against Mr. Smith. NCFM New York Chapter Acting President Eric Ross wrote a compelling article as well, The Great American Beauty Pageant. The importance of this achievement cannot be overstated. For those of you who remember the Duke Lacrosse Team debacle, had Crystal Mangum been convicted of her horrific false accusations she may have been in prison rather than had the opportunity to murder her boyfriend, which she did. We have long advocated for the arrest and prosecution of false accusers. It won’t take us long to learn that such behavior is not acceptable if false accusers are held accountable. Hats off to all those who helped put Tiffany Marie Smith in jail....

To celebrate this Father’s NCFM Australia Liaison Greg Andresen — Day, White Ribbon engages in a spot of good old man- and dad-bashing

If you want to enjoy this Father’s Day and celebrate being a Dad, or indeed celebrate your own father, it might be wise not to read the latest ‘paper’ from the White Ribbon Research Series titled Fathers, Fathering and Preventing Violence Against Women. Regretfully it appears to be a piece of error-ridden radical-feminist ideological rhetoric that could have been published back in the 80′s at the height of misandrist feminism. Here are a few choice quotes – please don’t read on if you want to have a relaxing Sunday – and, no, we’re not making these up: “Many are emotionally abusive and controlling” “Many condone by not taking it seriously, or by failing to speak out against it” “The tendency is for men to assume that their mere presence in a family – as...

Does Sexism Against Men Exist?

Excellent article in the Jane Dough news  Does Sexism Against Men Exist? by Amy Tennery Professor David Benatar knows a thing about uphill battles. After all, Benatar, the head of the philosophy department at the University of Cape Town, just released a book arguing that men are victims of widespread sexism. Yes, you read that correctly: Sexism against men. Men, who rule the boardroom and the pay gap — they’re victims of sexism? According to Benatar, yes. His new book, The Second Sexism, claims that men are routinely undermined by their gender. And while this might sound like anti-feminist mumbo-jumbo, Benatar says it’s anything but. In a recent interview with The Jane Dough, Benatar explained why he believes men are subjected to unfair biases due to their gender — and showed why feminists better take notice.

NCFM GNY Acting Chapter President Eric Ross — The Great American Beauty Pageant

By Eric Ross, Ph.D., Investigative Reporter, National Writers’ Syndicate, Acting President, NCFM Greater NY Chapter In the American “family” court system with its “preponderance of the evidence” standard of proof and virtually unlimited discretion given to the politically-minded judges, physical evidence often goes out the window, and political factors take precedence over facts. To justify their arbitrary decisions, judges often entertain themselves by running a trial like a beauty contest, based on subjectively judged appearance, substituted in place of a common sense judgment as to  who is more trustworthy. Enter Tiffany Marie Smith, of Delaware. She’s cute. Female. “Clever.”  Enterprising, one should say. Therefore, she is “believable” and, you know, likable… She has been quite inventive in making all kinds of false allegations against her ex husband Gordon Smith in order to disrupt his relationship with their two adorable...

U.S. Government’s new definition of rape…everyone’s a rapist. Very inclusive.

NOTE: If you are not aware of the Administration’s new definition of rape you should be. So, here it is, right from the Office of the Attorney General. As written, if you think it through, everyone in the United States that has ever had, or every will have sex with another person may be guilty of rape. However, considering the current Administration’s blatant disregard for males, it’s extremely doubtful any effort will be made to include women in the new definition, not even women in same sex relationships. How convenient. It appears rape will soon be on the rise, including false accusations, to help fuel the ever expanding Women Industries. What do you think?

NCFM President Harry Crouch – Biden Babble and the Dancing Fool

This article was first published August 2008. It was last updated in November 2011. It could use some refreshing, but it is still enlightening considering that the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization is stalled in Congress. Doing that took considerable, deliberate, and concerted effort by many people and several organizations. NCFM played a larger roll in helping to stall the reauthorization than most will ever know. NCFM, SAVE Services, Victims of Immigration Fraud, and a few other organizations continue to lobby for related reforms. While much goes on behind the scenes, SAVE and VOIP operate from Washington D.C.,  have developed strong relationships with legislators and their staffers, and continue to network with, educate, and work with those who have the power to reform VAWA. Both organizations deserve your support, as of course, as does NCFM. If you have suggestions...

The Purpose of Boys: Helping Our Sons Find Meaning, Significance, and Direction in Their Lives. By Michael Gurian. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2009. 248 pp. $26.95. Review by J. Steven Svoboda. Why has Michael Gurian, author of over twenty books mostly relating to children and/or gender, devoted a book to boys and purpose? In answer to that natural question, the author lists “some of the core issues of male purposelessness”, including schools not trained in caring for and motivating boys; media “attack males as defective and dangerous (and, quite often, just plain stupid) without also providing a variety of strong role models”; families lacking male role models or not understanding their critical importance; and “workplaces helping young women secure employment, but assuming young men will do just fine at landing a job, even though millions are not finding useful work.”...

NCFM Member Howard Goldman creates well written petition for equal treatment in healthcare

Now that men and women pay equally for healthcare, shouldn’t men receive equal coverage when it comes to fully covered services? Shouldn’t there finally be a government health office dealing with men’s health?  Men and women should sign this petition no matter if they agree with the Affordable Care Act or not. The Act is sexist and needs to be made unbiased should it remain in existence in its present state. On August 1, 2012 many more health care services became available to women without co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses. While this can be seen as a victory for women’s health, there are many services that affect men in equal or similar ways that still require men to be able to afford those cost-sharing requirements. Why should all women receive these services (such as well-care visits) “free” while men...

How Rape Laws Remove the Presumption of Innocence

How Rape Laws Remove the Presumption of Innocence

Stop Abusive and Violent Environments August 9, 2012 Over the last 40 years, rape laws have undergone a fundamental transformation. In some ways, these changes have removed barriers to rape victims receiving a fair trial and have helped bring many rapists to justice. But in other ways the reforms have gone too far, upending traditional tenets of criminal procedure and removing due process protections for the accused. The overall effect has been to shift the burden of proof to the defendant, likely resulting in more wrongful convictions. In Washington state, for example, juries receive the following instruction: “The burden is on the defendant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the sexual intercourse was consensual.” As a result, false allegations have increased, thus diluting the availability of services and protections for victims, and eventually diminishing the credibility...

In his 1946 linguistic critique, Politics and the English Language, George Orwell wrote that one must “let meaning choose the word, not the other way around.” By largely ignoring this truism, administrators and legislators who craft imprecise regulations have given their particular enforcement arms—campus disciplinary staff and federal government prosecutors—enormous and grotesquely unfair power.  – Harvey A.

Panel Sponsored by Office of Child Support Enforcement and Department of Justice Access to Justice Initiative (Also see: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/pubs/2012/csr/csr1207.pdf) “A panel of experts discusses the critical messages from Turner v. Rogers and its implications for child support. Turner v. Rogers requires states in civil contempt proceedings to provide procedures that ensure a fundamentally fair determination of whether an unrepresented parent is able to comply with a court order to pay child support. This forum includes a discussion of setting realistic child support orders, and other promising practices that avoid the build-up of arrears; explores cost-effective strategies for child support compliance, including alternatives to contempt; and, discusses expanding self-help services and access to justice for unrepresented litigants”.

NCFM President Harry Crouch – Father’s on Edge, Poytner’s Ommission and Supremist Feminist Influence in Reporting

First, I am fairly happy Dad. I’ve never been beaten and battered by the Family Law System like the hundreds if not thousands of disenfranchised fathers with whom I’ve had contact or directly worked, but I know it happens. I’ve been in court and witnessed such pummeling’s more times than I can possibly recall. That said, investigative reporter Bilbo Poynter recently wrote the troubled Dad article, Fathers on Edge, a tragic custody case draws attention of groups convinced family courts are biased. Poynter, Executive Director at Canadian Center for Investigative Reporting, cites several horrific child custody cases in which fathers lost their children, went to prison, attempted to murder a judge, and committed suicide by self-immolation – he torched himself. Implications abound, largely by omission and perhaps a bias by the reporter that something other than the Family Law...

What Is “Domestic Violence”? – Anything Your Heart Desires, Honey! (A Word of Wisdom to an American Male)

By Eric Ross, Ph.D, NCFM Acting President, Greater New York Chapter The definition of domestic violence by the US Department of Justice (2011) is, in part, as follows: “We define domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.”  Read it and weep! “Emotional” and “economic”? – Let me clarify that: this spectacularly all-inclusive, “anything your heart desires, honey” feminist definition of what is violence is oftentimes played out in the Family Courts, declaring a man to be the perpetrator of Domestic...

The Future of Masculinity: Do We Need Real Men – Or Real Human Beings?

By Abigail Collazo Feminism has re-defined what it means to be female. But there’s still no consensus on what the ideal 21st-century man looks like. This weekend’s New York Times “Room for Debate” asks whether today’s men are “manly enough”: “A-list actors are getting facials in Mansome, Morgan Spurlock’s newest documentary, and pumping their waxed chests in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, one of the summer’s most popular movies. But is all this exfoliated, chiseled perfection what women really want? And should men really be making it a priority?” In Charles Mee’s 2001 play Big Love, one of the title characters delivers a soliloquy in which he bemoans the difficulty for men in living up to gender stereotypes. On one hand, men are expected to be civilized—calm, gracious, and sophisticated. But when violence is called for, and people—especially women—need defending, they expect men to be the rescuers, “going...

NCFM NOTE from this side of the other pond: NCFM members and other activists in Los Angeles, California and elsewhere are experiencing similar problems as reported below in a letter from our allies in Australia.  Administrators of such publicly funded domestic violence organizations are often politically insulated, arrogant and hypocritically demonstrate the very same power and control behaviors they openly reject in men which they say The Patriarchy uses to oppress women. Generally speaking, they have no respect for the rule of law unless the rule of law can be used to continue their disenfranchisement of men and the transfer of power, control, and wealth. Hence,they meet behind closed doors to do their business in secret. Otherwise, the business they do would never be approved by those who do business in the best interests of all of us. Let...

Three Persons Plead Guilty in Child Sexual Exploitation and Interstate Prostitution Case

By

  NCFM Note: It’s not unusual for women to be arrested for child exploitation, prostitution, or other forms of human trafficking. In situations like the one below it may be reported that the two women convicted were powerless and controlled by Michael Malcom, as if the women were really only innocent victims. And, we often fail to recognize the fact that child exploitation, prostitution, and other forms of human trafficking involve as victims boys and men. Generally we have been educated by the thought police to think of those crimes involving only girls and women as victims. Is that correct? What do you think? Three persons facing charges related to child exploitation and prostitution pled guilty in the last week in federal court in Sioux City. Michael Malcom, age 56, from Humboldt, Iowa, was convicted of one count of...

Violence Against Women Act needs reform, pro-woman shouldn’t mean anti-man

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is up for reauthorization again this year. This newest version of VAWA — loaded up with even more leftist provisions — has hit a snag. First signed into law in 1994 with bipartisan support and reauthorized in 2000 and 2006, the legislation has become both a failure and a boondoggle, lining the pockets of feminist groups, vastly expanding federal, state and local bureaucracies, and becoming riddled with fraud. This year there are competing bills in the House (H.R. 4970) and Senate (S. 1925). In a climate of debt, deficit and government waste, the legitimate bone of contention is how best to reform the law, which has spawned dozens of failed programs. VAWA created a bureaucratic nightmare that targets the wrong women, those claiming nebulous “psychological harm,” instead of actually helping battered women. In...

Child’s behaviour linked to father-infant interactions, study shows… children need their fathers

NCFM NOTE: Here’s another study showing the importance of fathers in their children’s lives. Boys without their biological fathers, if they are lucky grow into men, will be men with the highest probability of being imprisoned and costing our society the greatest. Interestingly, perhaps by design, those systems that educate, discipline, identify, intervene, re educate, police, legislate, adjudicate, and imprison such men are staffed or overseen primarily by women or chivalrous males with little or no respect for their own gender. Think about that for awhile. Or, this: if there were more responsible fathers permitted to remain in their families of choice, their offspring would have a higher probability of growing up to be contributing members of society and have a substantially lower probability of being imprisoned. But, then, what happens to all the soft jobs which would be...

Nothing. Surely there are many such things. We just can’t find them.  Fotunately, we stumbled upon the Feminiists for Obama list of “major achievements for Women, Children, and Civil & Human Rights“ which saved us a good deal of work since we didn’t have to do the research.

The overbooked Airbus 319 Redeye flight from San Diego lifted off at 11:00 p.m. as scheduled with me wondering if he was still fixated on jumping off the Coronado Bridge. I could see it as we turned to establish our flight path to Washington D.C., all 200 vertical feet of it. The weekend before, three people contemplated suicide while staring 20 stories down into what must have seemed like the welcoming water of San Diego Bay. One jumped. She died. One of the other two, a man, I recently met after he was referred to me to help him prepare for Family Court mediation. After being talked down from the bridge he was placed in a facility for a three day psych evaluation… the Captain dimmed the cabin lights and the Airbus leveled out toward the east coast. I...

Professional wrestling champion Ric Flair calls police after he is ‘assaulted by his wife’… for the second time in two years By Daily Mail Reporter Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair called police to stop his wife from beating him, according to reports, the second he has needed authorities to intervene during a fight with his spouse. For 45 years, Flair has been a terror in the ring, winning 30 different championships as ‘Nature Boy,’ a wild and aggressive 6-foot-1, 243-pound fighter. In February 2010, Jacqueline Bains Beems was locked up after police accused of her of punching Flair in the face and kicking and biting him in an assault that left him bloody and bruised. Fighter: This is the second time Ric Flair (right) has called police to stop alleged abuse by his wife, Jacqueline Bains Beems (right). She...

NCFM Acting NY Chapter President Eric Ross reports on out of control family court judge

Family Court Judge verbally abusing, threatening and intimidating a litigant, a pastor in the local church by Eric Ross West Virginia, WINFIELD, Putnam County  – Watch how this abusive family court judge screams his head off at a pastor in his courtroom, repeatedly threatens and berates him, then throws the book at him. Presumably, Judges are objective and courteous. – Really? See for yourself. This is not a TV reality show. It is reality. It is a must see. Please watch the whole video and listen carefully. (Should the video “disappear” from YouTube, just let us know, we will post a high quality digital video right here.) The true nature of the judge’s ire comes through when he screams that the pastor should be dead by now, based on the judge’s prior orders. Apparently, the fact that “the man...

The DV Mafia and million dollar deals…

How Much Should A Domestic Violence Non-Profit Executive Make? Written by Jodie SanJuan –  Director of the Domestic Violence Justice Project Earlier this month, Florida Governor Rick Scott criticized the President of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence for her astronomical salary of $316,104 with an additional $36,158 in benefits. (1) The Coalition reported that her compensation is partly paid for with private donations and grants, and that her salary is set by the Coalition’s Board based on a study of comparable non-profits. If this is the case, I wonder where these ‘comparable non-profits’ are, because the most recent tax forms for the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence indicated that their Director made $78,176. The former Executive Director of the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence made $82,360, and the highest paid individual at the North Carolina Coalition Against...

Landmark decision from German high court outlaws male circumcision

By
Landmark decision from German high court outlaws male circumcision

A German court just ruled that infant male circumcision is ILLEGAL and can subject the perpetrator to prosecution for ASSAULT (just like for infant female circumcision)! This is a HUGE victory for the anti-circumcision movement and children’s rights. Male circumcision removes the foreskin of the penis. The foreskin contains most of the high sensory nerve endings in the penis and operates as a natural protective buffer and a lubricant. The national medical associations in Finland, Sweden, Holland, South Africa, and elsewhere have called for a ban on infant male circumcision, which is gynecologically equivalent to removing an infant girl’s clitoral hood and which is illegal in many countries. A recent report by the Dutch Medical Association explains that the male foreskin is an important erotogenic structure for which no medical benefit justifies its routine removal, that it is comparable...

NCFM Chicago Chapter President Tim Goldich explains “The Rules” of gender reality

The Rules (of gender reality) The Rules are as old as the hills. The rules constrain and dictate our understanding of gender reality. The Rules are rigidly enforced by psychic energies much more powerful than fact and logic. The Rules may be summed up as follows: Rule One: Toward men and masculinity we direct accountability without compassion, which is ruthless. It is respecting men as autonomous and empowered beings responsible for their own decisions and predicaments, but it is not loving men enough to recognize their true vulnerability to forces outside their control and to lend men their fair share of empathy. Rule Two: Toward women and femininity we direct compassion without accountability, which is infantilizing. It is loving women as vulnerable beings to be protected, but it is not respecting women enough to recognize their true power, autonomy,...

Chilling recording: Husband: ‘Are you going to make something up that I hit you?’ Wife: ‘Yes, without a doubt.’

By

Article from  “The Community of the Falsely Accused“. The elitist feminists still proclaim that women don’t make false allegations. Of course anyone with the ability to independently think knows that is absurd. The transcript below pretty much sums it up… A chilling false accusation case is in the news in New York. A former prosecutor in the Albany County District Attorney’s Office named William Conboy III, 35, and his wife wife Kelly Conboy, 33, were involved in a bitter divorce and custody battle when Kelly Conboy reported to police that her husband had kicked and choked her, that he pushed her to the ground, and that he kicked her in the throat with a rubber-soled boot and dragged the boot from her throat to her chest.  Mr. Conboy, who claimed the allegations were false, was arrested. According to William Conboy’s attorney, Kelly Conboy’s allegations coincided with important events in the couple’s...

By
NCFM President Harry Crouch explaines “How to work with DV industry councils, coalitions, whatever you want to call them…”

This article came about for two reasons. First, a much shorter version is an early contribution to a soon to be launched blog. Second, the expanded version, this one, was triggered by SAVE Services teleconference training about how to effectively work with domestic violence councils, the outline of which I’ve included at the end of whatever this is…  Though similar, you may find the teleconference planned approach more palatable. My approach is one of motivated happenstance and generally dissed. Both should be useful when working with your local DV council.  So, what’s a DV council? DV councils are typically congregations of like-minded community based stakeholder organizations that influence and control a community’s domestic violence industries. Generally, these congregations have steadfastly refused comprehensive or even rudimentary services for male victims of abuse; historically tough crowds for Men’s Rights activists. Consequently,...

NCFM PR Director Steven Svoboda book review of Steve Moxon’s “The Woman Racket”

The Woman Racket: The new science explaining how the sexes relate at work, at play and in society. By Steve Moxon. Charlottesville, Virginia: Imprint Academic, 2008.  $39.90. . 296 pages. Steve Moxon’s book, The Woman Racket, has certainly taken the UK men’s movement, and perhaps even the world’s men’s movement, by storm.  With the possible exception of Warren Farrell’s 1994 The Myth of Male Power, this volume has gotten more attention and distribution than any other work as hard-hitting against gender traditionalism and in favor of men’s rights.  On two 2008 trips to London, I found that the volume could easily be found in any bookstore with a moderately academic inclination. Right off the top, this book should be heavily sprinkled with salt before consumption.  I didn’t do much rigorous checking, but I’m pretty sure that a number of...

The National Organization for Women blasts efforts to include sensible and gender inclusive provisions in legislation to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Last week, the National Organization for Women issued a press release titled, Where the Real Shame Lies: Calling Victims of Violence Liars and Their Advocates Crooks. The author, NOW’s President, Terry O’Neal,” was referring to Representative Sandy Adams successful bill to re-authorize the Violence Against Women Act (H.R. 4970). O’Neal’s rant failed to mention that Representative Adams was a victim of serious domestic violence as well as a police officer who saw up close and personal the benefits and problems associated with the VAWA.  Like Representative Adams, I too have experienced domestic violence, on both sides of the fence, and, I have professionally worked with well over a thousand perpetrators and victims of domestic abuse. Experience I suspect critics like Ms. O’Neal lack. O’Neal noted there were over 300 organizations supporting NOW’s favored bill (H.R. 4971).  She attempted to...

Utah Adoption Council president resigns amid fathers’ rights controversy

There’s been a very choreographed effort to sweep birth fathers and others under the rug,” Hutchins said.  He’s absolutely right.  But no, men don’t face systematic sex discrimination, do they?  And we don’t need a men’s rights movement either, do we, at least not according to our misandric friends.  But things are a changing. The Iowa Supreme Court just ruled that paternity fraud is an actionable offense! Recent efforts to re authorize the Violence Against Women Act involved discussions about false accusations on several fronts. Now Mr. Hutchins takes a stand against fraudulent adoptions and denying fathers their rights. And, yes, we very much still need a Men’s Rights Movement. Without one, without organizations such as ours and many others, things would not be a changing for the better. It takes hard work. Stand tall with us, become a member...

NCFM New York Chapter Acting President says, “Kill the New York Bill, Which Seeks to Outlaw Free Speech on the Internet, targets political speech… on pretext of ‘protecting children’”

NCFM Note: legislation of this type would put a huge damper on civil rights activism. Those opposed to equal rights for men could use such laws to all but shut down the free interchange of interests and ideas across the Internet and eventually other media. Similar legislation has already been proposed at the national level. If you live in New York we strongly recommend that you contact as many of your legislators as possible and demand that they strenuously oppose this bill.

New York Judge John Hunt rails against disparate treatment of boys by probation department

By
New York Judge John Hunt rails against disparate treatment of boys by probation department

Below is one example of gender bias in the criminal justice system.  The bias is so pervasive that the story is about a single judge who decided to rebel against it.  All of these things have consequences.  The boy who is treated more harshly than the girl gets a criminal record that reduces his likelihood of finishing high school, his prospects for getting into college, his opportunities for employment, and on and on to the grave.  If the boy and girl are arrested a second time, the disparity in treatment becomes still wider because he is a “repeat offender” while her record was purged of the first offense.  Add to this the gender bias in disciplinary matters inside schools and I am convinced that a large portion of the “male academic underachievement” is explained by disparate treatment of males...

Woman Admits She Falsely Accused HS Football Star of Rape – He Receives Five Years In Prison, She Receives $1.5 Million of Taxpayers’ Money.

Wanetta Gibson falsely accused Brian Banks of rape! She should be in jail and be made to pay restitution. By Al Rava, NCFM Secretary Last Thursday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark C. Kim overturned the decade-old forcible rape conviction against Brian Banks after his accuser Wanetta Gibson admitted she falsely accused Banks of the crime.  At the time of the false accusation, Banks was a 17-year-old football star at Long Beach Poly High School, who had verbally committed to playing for USC, and Gibson was a 15-year-old classmate.  Gibson said Banks raped her on school grounds, Banks said the sex was consensual. Banks, represented by a public defender, agreed to a plea deal serving five years behind bars instead of risking a prison term of 41 years to life.  Only 17 at the time of the plea...

Paycheck Fairness Act and the “Which Way Is It” people; or, the Feminist Hypocrite Caucus stumbles again

Senate Dems Betray Lilly Senate Democrats pay female staffers less than male staffers The Washington Free Beacon, BY: Andrew Stiles – May 24, 2012 A group of Democratic female senators on Wednesday declared war on the so-called “gender pay gap,” urging their colleagues to pass the aptly named Paycheck Fairness Act when Congress returns from recess next month. However, a substantial gender pay gap exists in their own offices, a Washington Free Beacon analysis of Senate salary data reveals. Of the five senators who participated in Wednesday’s press conference—Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Patty Murray (D., Wash.), Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) and Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.)—three pay their female staff members significantly less than male staffers. Murray, who has repeatedly accused Republicans of waging a “war a women,” is one of the worst offenders. Female members...

Men’s Rights group in Korea objects to demeaning song “Good Boy”

The Men’s Rights Movement is fast spreading around the world By Marc Angelucci, VP NCFM A men’s rights group in Korea objects to Baek Ji Young’s demeaning ‘Good Boy’ Song. These groups are forming all over the world and it won’t stop despite the reactive ignorance in the American media. A men’s rights association in Korea, Man of Korea, has filed an official request to seek the distribution ban of Baek Ji Young’s recently released title song, GoodBoy. The group filed the motion against Baek Ji Young’s Good Boy on grounds the song lyrics belittled men. A representative for Man of Korea said, “Baek Ji Young’s Good Boy contains contents about an older women domesticating a younger man. That expression, like that of a dog and its master, demeans men.” The representative added, “The song lyrics describes the man...

DSK Sues for False Allegations. – It’s About Time Somebody Did! By Eric Ross, Ph.D. The international financier Dominique Strauss-Kahn, known as DSK, seeks damages for his arrest, which included jail time at New York’s Rikers Island Prison and house arrest, for losing his job as managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and for harm to his reputation causing him to drop out of the race for Presidency of France. His countersuit seeks at least $1 million in damages plus an undetermined amount of punitive damages. Nafissatou Diallo, his accuser, a single mother who immigrated from Guinea, has not worked since the incident a year ago, claiming now “a shoulder injury,” which she allegedly sustained during the encounter with Strauss-Kahn, said one of her lawyers, Douglas Wigdor. The case is a sad commentary on the misandric...
