Homeless, on the rise, where’s the commissions on men’s health?

Homeless veterans on the rise in San Diego and I suspect everywhere else too. There’s a worthwhile read about homeless vets in the San Diego Union Tribune.

Rape Victims – Male

Historically, many rape laws excluded male victims from the protections women receive.  The Model Penal Code, for example, defined “rape” so that only women could be victims.  In England, funding for sex abuse victims is often denied for male victims regardless of how devastating.

Feminist Kabuki Theater?

What About Men’s Health? I don’t know any other way to profile the subject matter of the linked news story at bottom, than as the sexist farce, neglecting men, that it is. 1. Given: according to the CDC, of the 12 leading causes of death in America: men lead in 12 categories, are tied...

National Directory of Domestic Violence – Men are an afterthought

Organizations like the National Coalition to End Domestic Violence when testifying at public hearings or applying for funding say they help everyone, including men. Really?

NCFM Member Dr. Edward Stevens Promotes “Male Studies” to balance “WoMen StuDIEs”

There are no less than 900 WoMEN StuDIEs programs worldwide including roughly 500 in the United States of America. Another source that I cannot relocate pegged the number at over 1,400 including several programs in South Korea. Early programs were not much more than terrorist training camps for women who didn’t like men. Men...
