Denmark: Proposal to ban child circumcision

Contributor: Men's Activism News   [source]
Date:November 21, 2008

Article here. Excerpt:

'Several parliamentary parties are considering creating legislation that would spare all children from circumcision - not just girls.

A proposal to ban circumcision for boys may be on its way to parliament after intense discussions by MPs over the past week, reports Kristeligt Dagblad newspaper.

Although circumcision of girls was outlawed in response to the practice being common among immigrants from some Muslim countries, boys may still be circumcised if a certified physician is present.'

Ed. note: Not surprisingly, there is a great deal of resistance to this from religious quarters. Story here.

I just wanted to thank the readers of Mensactivism.org. The first week's numbers for my new internet radio show at BlogTalkRadio were very respectable. The more avenues of media we can utilize to advance our concerns will only help grow the momentum that has already been established by organizations/individuals like Mensactivism.org.

This week, I will discuss how authorities are changing their approach towards prostitution, which involves compassion for the prostitutes, and jail for the johns. Isn’t this gender discrimination?

Also, the different reaction in society between advertising that offends men, and advertising that offends women (DART vs. Motrin).

And finally, how research released this week proves feminists lied about girls and education.

Grow up, Jacqui Smith

Contributor: Heretical Sex   [source]
Date:November 21, 2008
This article is an excellent response to our 'Home Secretary's latest bid to lacerate the legal system in order to win the approval of the feminist harpies who constitute her support base.

"Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, under whose care all these lost girls are found, is not interested in prostitutes. Not really. She hasn't actually ever met one, or personally canvassed an opinion from one.

This week, she announced that her focus is on the men who use their services instead. And like the casino doorman, she turns a coy, blind eye to the antics of the independent high-class hooker and escort girl.

Smith has just unveiled a steaming mess of new laws aimed at criminalising men who pay for sex with trafficked or exploited women. Ignorance of the girl's background will be no defence for punters, and men who knowingly pay for sex with trafficked women may be charged with rape.

You may ask yourself how a commercial transaction, no matter how distasteful or amoral it may seem to others, can be suddenly reclassified as rape. Answer: it can't.

This is just the worst kind of gesture politics from a politician desperate to recast herself in the rosy glow of sexual reform. Patronisingly, she sees every prostitute as a helpless victim. And to the suggestion that many 'trafficked' women are actually just economic migrants, she says: 'I do not buy that argument.' End of.
Men need to think twice about paying for sex, says the Home Secretary, who wants to obliterate the sex industry by strangling demand for it - rather like trying to stop tooth decay by banning the baking of cupcakes.

Do you know, her naivety would be endearing, if it wasn't so petty and dangerous. Jacqui, there are lots of things that men need to think twice about, but as they usually go right ahead and please themselves anyway, what is the point?

Smith's mad ramblings and ideals, forged in the hairy armpit heat of Seventies feminism and untrammelled by a sliver of practical common sense ever since, make me want to scream. All she will succeed in doing is driving the trafficked women further underground - making them more vulnerable to deeper depravity - and undermining the country's rape laws while she is at it.

In all the years of New Labour lunacy, in all their obsessive, spirit-sapping social tinkering, has there ever been anything quite so mad, or ill thought out?
This country is in a bigger mess than it has been since the war. Toddlers are murdered in their cots. Teenagers are shot going home from school. Half a million migrants poured into the UK last year - and that's just the official number - while hundreds of businesses are going bust every day.

And what is the Government doing to stop the rot? Getting its knickers in a twist about prostitution. It is indeed true that women have been trafficked across borders and are being held as sex slaves in this country. This is a dreadful business, but it is a criminal matter, not a civic one".

Another teen makes false rape report

Contributor: False Rape Society   [source]
Date:November 20, 2008
With mind-numbing and cookie-cutter redundancy, here is yet another story about yet another young woman who told yet another lie that she was raped.

Is there any other crime that is lied about with such frequency? Of course not. It is insulting to one's intelligence to suggest otherwise. Rape is lied about so frequently because it is so easy to lie about. And there are few consequences to lying.

Given the hysterical rape culture we are living in, the amazing thing is that there are not far more rape lies.

HERE IS THE NEWS STORY:

FALSE REPORT OF RAPE

SOUTH MIDDLETOWN TWP., CUMBERLAND COUNTY

FALSE REPORT OF RAPE: An 18-year-old Newville woman has been charged with filing a false report of a rape with Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle.

Officers said Angel Lenia Marteller came to their headquarters at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 and reported she had been raped at a house in the Newville area.

Troopers said later that night Marteller admitted she had lied and made a written statement admitting the lie and apologizing to all involved.

Now This Beats All Hell!

Contributor: Counter-Feminist   [source]
Date:November 20, 2008
Please refer to the immediately foregoing post, titled Digging Deeper into the Grain.

Today, the scene replayed itself. In my stat log, I again observed a spike of incoming traffic to the CF article Ideas Which Go Against the Grain. But this time, the referring source was a Finnish blog called Ihmissuhteet: http://tinyurl.com/56wnlk

So go there, and see what is going on. Now, for me the Finnish language is a black wall of mystery—on a par with ancient Egyptian or Aramaic. It is not a bit like the familiar French, German, Spanish and Russian. Still, I was able to gather this much:

A men's activist in Finland, by the name of Henry Laasanen, has recently published a book (in 2008) called Naisten Seksuaalinen Valta, in which he elaborates a thesis very similar to what I outlined in Ideas Which Go Against the Grain. The blog post on 'Ihmissuhteet' contains; a.) a link to my CF article, and b.) a brief discussion somehow comparing it to Henry Laasenen's book. (If only I could understand Finnish!)

I was naturally intrigued, so I did some quick research on Henry Laasenen, and came up with this (in English): http://tinyurl.com/5nlhub

. . . and also this (in Finnish): a catalog description of Laasenens's book: http://tinyurl.com/2eqk36

Saving the best for last: I didn't notice at first (and I nearly overlooked it), but after a little more digging I discovered to my surprise that the blogmeister of 'Ihmissuhteet' is none other than Henry Laasenen himself!!


Pleased to meetcha, Henry! ;-)

In conclusion, I would say this: Ideas Which Go Against the Grain is simply a counter-feminist essay. It is in no way "scientific", nor does it pretend to be so, and whoever might critique it from that standpoint would be barking up the wrong tree.

Girl, 10, Drafted School Hit List

Contributor: Men's Activism News   [source]
Date:November 20, 2008

Story here. Excerpt:

'NOVEMBER 20--A 10-year-old Wisconsin girl drafted a hit list containing the names of 21 classmates and four teachers who would be targeted "when I go on my killing spree." The handwritten list was confiscated Monday afternoon by a teacher in a McKinley Middle School classroom, according a Kenosha Police Department report, a copy of which you'll find below. At the top of the one-page list the sixth grader wrote, "When I go on my killing spree the victims are..."'

Guy Ritchie Foregoes Madonna’s $$$ for Custody

Contributor: Hawaiian Libertarian   [source]
Date:November 20, 2008

While one part of me wishes Guy Ritchie would make an example of the total inequity and injustice of the Feminist corrupted Divorce Court system, and take Madonna to the cleaners like Heather Mills did to Sir McCartney...

...the example he sets here is more important, and it is something divorcing parents from all walks of life should pay attention to as they get ready to battle it out in court over the physical assets, reducing their children into nothing more than pawns for leverage to squeeze as much money as they can from their soon-to-be ex spouse.


Madonna and Guy strike deal to share custody of the children...but he doesn't get a penny of her £300m fortune

Richie, who is currently looking after their sons, took them both to the London set of his film Sherlock Holmes.

The source said: 'It will be all over by the end of the month. The priority for him has always been the children.

'Ritchie has not wanted her money. He has done exactly what Billie Piper did when she divorced Chris Evans. She walked away without any of his money, much to her credit. Guy Ritchie has done the same.'

A second source said: 'Ritchie could have taken her to the cleaners. He is a very honourable man to have walked away.'


In short, Guy could have hired the most blood-sucking, ambulance-chasing court shark to take up to half of Madonna's fortune, as he is entitled to under UK Family law.

Instead, he gets Madonna to concede to shared custody if he agrees to not go after her money.

On the other hand, it certainly illustrates another aspect of the inherent gender bias in the divorce court industry...as Madonna's negotiations on this settlement most certainly start with the leverage she has from getting default custody for simply being female!

Good to see that Mr. Richie recognizes that no amount of money can replace the time he has to spend with his boys as they are growing up.

Teacher suspended for letting class vote out autistic boy

Contributor: Men's Activism News   [source]
Date:November 20, 2008

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Florida kindergarten teacher was suspended for polling her students on whether an autistic boy should remain in class.

Alex Barton, 5, lost the vote 14 to 2.

Barton, a former student at Morningside Elementary School in Port St. Lucie, Fla., had received two discipline referrals to the principal's office May 21, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. The school was aware that Barton was in the process of being tested for Asperger's Syndrome.

This week, the St. Lucie County School Board voted unanimously to suspend his tenured teacher, Wendy Portillo, for one year without pay. Superintendent of Schools Michael Lannon recommended discipline after Portillo took Barton to the front of the class and asked students to tell the boy what they didn't like about his behavior and how it impacted them.

Barton said the teacher allowed his classmates to call him "disgusting" and "annoying."
