Case of Jailed Deadbeat non-dad Shows Need for Overhaul of Child Support Laws
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently ran articles on a case that should outrage any fair-minded person. Georgia man Frank Hatley was in a Cook County jail for over a year for failure to pay child support. However, DNA tests proved that the child in question was not biologically his. He had never been married to or... »
From String and Wax to Routes and Nodes
Why No Large Men's Organisations, asks AH. No vehicle, like a Learjet to wing us on the way to success? The parts are being grown, organically, in all parts of the world. We need a bio-mechanic or two to rivet the parts together. But can you find the parts growing in lots of... »
To Man Up or Man Down
Women don’t have roles any more, except as they choose to take them on. Even then, they can change that role fluidly depending on whether they are vying for a promotion or sitting with a man in a restaurant when the dinner check arrives. Feminists and flat tires are seldom in each others... »
A Prayer for Joe Bob
Contrary to popular worldview, men feel. They feel as deeply and profoundly as any woman. If you peel back a mans skin, you find flesh and blood, not gears and wires. Men have wants, needs, desires and dreams outside their role as protectors and providers. They are not whole without these things and yet... »
The Psychology of Hate
The world of psychology in academics and practice has become a weapon in the realm of gender politics. Almost all pretense to objectivity and academic integrity has been forced aside by ideologues with an ax to grind against men and who are using the loathsome disguise of helping professionals to further their agenda. »
Cuckolding a man yet caring about him? The touching story told by the song In Some Room Above the Street.
I find the song In Some Room Above the Street, especially as sung in the inimitable vibrato of the late country singer Gary Stewart, to have an extraordinary emotional power. Part of the reason for the song’s power is that it ends on an unexpectedly poignant note. The song begins by telling of a rather... »
Gay Marriage- Who Cares?
Worse yet, as any men’s rights advocate knows, marriage hasn't been "one man and one woman" for a long time. The reality of the times is that men marry the state they live in. The woman just comes with the deal for a few years. »
What do my readers think of my treatment of the Scottsboro Boys false rape case?
I recently wrote an article about the infamous case of the Scottsboro Boys, nine black American men falsely accused in the 1930s of raping two white women. In writing this story, I faced several challenges. One was to make sense of a case that was extraordinarily complex and that dragged on through the courts... »
Monogamy is not natural — but is ideal
The following letter to the editor that I wrote was recently published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We may disapprove of politicians getting into sex scandals, but we should not be shocked, regardless of the person’s moral beliefs. The simple truth is that monogamy is not a natural state for humans of either gender. Millions of... »
Men, Math and Marriage
Yes guys, that means go see a lawyer, one that understands mens legal issues, before you even shack up. Do it the moment she asks if she can leave some clothes in your closet. Better yet, do it now, while you don't have a girlfriend and can still think from the neck up. Consider... »
Chapin’s Deferno, Day 2
LaSalle here. Chapin’s been busy out there on the lake. His latest article has just been published at Pajama’s Media: a fine review of Glenn Beck’s Dose of Common Sense for America. ‘Knowing the unpredictability of his personality,” Chapin tells us, “I was somewhat skeptical regarding the merits of his new book… Luckily, my fears... »
When Infidelity Is Inevitable
Disrespect and Manipulation Humans are biologically wired for infidelity, we hear. Monogamy is an artificial lifestyle, they say. Men and women cheat on each other because they just can’t help themselves, right? Wrong. People who respect and value themselves don’t cheat; moreover, they attract like-minded partners. Infidelity is a choice — as obesity, substance abuse, and ignorance... »
A hopefully “Bewitching” portrait of Elizabeth Montgomery
Author’s note: Previously published in “The Hatchet: Lizzie Borden’s Journal of Murder, Mystery, and Victorian History.” Denise Noe’s Lizzie Whittlings: Elizabeth Montgomery Actress Elizabeth Montgomery won a permanent place in the hearts of Borden buffs when she took on the part of Lizzie Borden in the made-for-TV movie, The Legend of Lizzie Borden. For a movie-of-the-week,... »
Rebranding Manhood
Fathers Are Mere Tenants The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident. Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them. It’s as though the entire history of men was written on an... »
Don Quixote Lanced Marriage
Failing Institution Marriage is a failing institution. There are some basic factors driving this failure — judicial and societal — but the bottom line is indisputable: For the first time in US history, across all ethnic groups, the majority of women are unmarried and 40% of babies are born to unwed mothers. The judicial reason is... »
Oprah Is Harpo on Violent Women
She’ll Hit Again Oprah Winfrey is increasing domestic violence in America. By being Harpo — remaining silent — on the truth about violent women, she unwittingly perpetuates the problem.? Repeatedly excusing women’s culpability and unfairly blaming men only serves to foment this pernicious societal scourge. On March 19, 2009, Oprah aired an anti-male show about domestic... »
Chandra Levy Murdered by Illegal Alien?
This past weekend, the mainstream news media were breathlessly reporting that an arrest of a Salvadorian immigrant for killing a young Washington, DC woman named Chandra Levy is imminent. The case originally received so much media attention that she became a household name. While the media continue their fascination with this case, they have... »
Her Diamond: Yoke’s on You
Obsession with Carats Nothing speaks subjugation like a man on bended knee, sliding a diamond engagement ring on the finger of his new fiancée. Yet, countless men engage in this emasculating, enslaving ritual every day. When asked why he felt compelled to prostrate himself while pledging to his “better half” a life of devotion, the typical... »

Saris, Jeffrey Shields of Bath, Maine, was civilly committed to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a sexually dangerous person, according to a report sent to the National Association of Chiefs of Police’s Child Protection Program.

Obama Picks Porn Industry Lawyer for No. 2 Spot at Justice Department
President Obama has made a major mistake and put America’s families at risk by selecting David Ogden to become Deputy Attorney General, says Fidelis, a pro-family organization. “David Ogden is a hired gun from Playboy and the ACLU. He can’t run from his long record of opposing common sense laws protecting families, women, and children.... »
