This looks like a pretty standard case of domestic violence (York Record, 10/27/09). Oh, don't get me wrong, the article doesn't call it domestic violence, and you can guess why that is - a woman stabbed a man and to call that domestic violence would violate a cardinal rule of DV reporting. It seems that... »
I wrote recently about the false and misleading claims of pro-choice advocates like Kate Michelman and Frances Kissling regarding the so-called Stupak Amendment to the House health care bill. The amendment, if enacted, would prohibit federal subsidies for insurance policies that cover abortion services. Michelman, Kissling and others have claimed here that the legislation would prohibit any and all insurance... »
Months ago, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, a scandal came to light. Prosecution is still underway, so we don't know the outcomes of any criminal trials. But the allegations are that two juvenile court judges, Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan, were taking kickbacks from operators of juvenile correctional facilities. The scam has been called "cash for kids." ... »
It's good to read a story like this one that actually makes sense (Courier News, 11/10/09). It's not fraught with silly claims or absurd reasoning. No misinformation, no disinformation. Back in April of 2000, a Kane County, Illinois judge issued an order in the custody case of two children of Crystel Strelioff and her ex-husband... »
Jessica Lynched, that is. Shortly after the massacre at Fort Hood, newspaper accounts were full of the heroism of Sgt. Kimberly Munley who, so they said, had taken on the alleged shooter almost single-handedly, was injured by him, but immobilized him with a shot to the torso. I reported on what looked like accurate descriptions... »
This article reports that reports of child sexual abuse by women in the United Kingdom have risen five times faster than those of abuse by men (BBC, 11/9/09). The numbers are for abuse reported by children to the charitable organization Childline. Since 2004-05, reports of female abuse have increased 132% and compared to 27% for reports of male... »
As if there aren't enough barriers between fathers and their children, here's another one (Selma Times-Journal, 11/7/09). The writer, Terry Lewis, is a non-custodial father. But whatever parental rights the family court and family laws of Alabama believe he has, his ex-wife and bureaucrats in the educational establishment have other ideas. His case is a simple one;... »
Unsurprisingly, those who favor abortion rights are not pleased at the passage in the House of Representatives of health care legislation that included the so-called Stupak Amendment. Named for Michigan representative Bart Stupak, the amendment prohibits federal tax dollars from being used to fund abortions. It therefore prohibits women who would receive federal subsidies to purchase... »
This article tells us that, in the state of Victoria, family law now provides that common-law couples now have the same rights and duties as married couples (Daily Mail, 11/9/09). So when a Melbourne businessman broke up with his mistress of 20 years, she sued him and received a court order that he pay... »
On the second count, the commission found that Gormley entered a change of custody order that removed a child from the custody of her father but denied the father the right to put on his own evidence. Gormley, the commission found, acted as an advocate for the mother in that case. A Kentucky family court... »
For women to have more equality at work, we (men) need more equality at home; in this struggle for equality, fathers and feminists are on the same side (parenthetical mine). That's not quite a direct quotation from GlennSacks.com, but it's close. We've been saying the same thing for years and at long last this article chimes... »
For many years now, DOJ sponsored reports have encouraged pro-arrest, preferred arrest, mandatory arrest and now default arrest policies. Regardless of the label there is no question that the majority of studies sponsored by the DOJ are recommending arrest policies “as the default position” for law enforcement...aw enforcement administrators are acutely aware that if... »
"State of the Union" by Carl Moore »
"We see this all the time where the ex-wife lives with a crazy, harmful boyfriend who can't see his own kids because the court has prohibited him because he may have been convicted of drugs or abuse. Yet he can live with another father's kid," says Glenn Sacks, the executive director of Fathers &... »
Two major online publications--Salon.com and Slate.com--recently did articles criticizing the men's and fathers movement. Whenever the fatherhood movement and its opponents clash directly, there is an opportunity for all on both sides to listen and learn, so I'm writing several posts on these two articles. My first two posts dealt largely with a misleading... »

Two major online publications--Salon.com and Slate.com--recently did articles criticizing the men's and fathers movement. My first two posts dealt largely with a misleading quote attributed to me in both pieces, and the two publications' commendable agreement to clarify it. In this post and others, we'll deal more with the arguments made by Kathryn Joyce of... »
Two major online publications--Salon.com and Slate.com--recently did articles about the men's and fathers movement. Kathryn Joyce's DoubleX/ Slate.com article appeared to attribute the views of another activist to me, and Salon.com's Judy Berman picked up on it and publicized the misattribution. I wrote to both Slate.com and Salon.com asking for a correction and, to their... »
National Organization for Women president Terry O'Neill has proclaimed that Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable must lose his job because he apparently hit his first wife and may have done the same to a past girlfriend. As this article tells us, O'Neill asks why anyone who has allegedly committed DV in the past... »
