"What laws legislatively favor women over men?"

1)The Selective Act, which forces men to register for the draft, or they will be fined and imprisoned.

2)The Violence Against Women Act, which only protects women from domestic violence and leaves men with no where to turn if they are stuck in an abusive relationship.

3)The Federal Prohibition Against Female Genital Mutilation Act, which only protects women from circumcision, and leaves baby boys vulnerable to being flayed alive.
And hell, let's also throw in some from the Executive branch. Why let Congress have all the fun?

4)Executive Order 11126, which established a committee and council on the status of women. Please note that no corresponding committee or council on the status of men exists.

5)Executive Order 13506, which established a White House Council on Women and Girls. Please note that no corresponding White House Council on Men and Boys exists.

6)The Executive branch has a Office on Women's Health, under the US Department of Health and Human Services. Please note that no corresponding Office on Men's Health exists.
And hell, let's throw in some from the State Legislatures. Why let the Federal Government have all the fun?

7)The various Rape Shield Acts, which only protect the identities of female rape victims.

8)The Various Primary Aggressor Statutes, which force police to always arrest males in domestic disputes, even if they were the victims of domestic violence.

Give under served victims of domestic violence a lifeline - vote daily

From Glenn Sacks:

We've often mentioned the good work that Jan Brown of the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women has done for victims of domestic violence. The DAHMW has entered the Pepsi Refresh Project, seeking to get a $250,000 award to bring public awareness to male victims of domestic violence. She'd like Fathers & Families members to vote for their project idea by clicking here. Brown's full letter is below.

Brown writes:

Studies show that men who are in relationships with abusive partners do not see themselves as victims of domestic violence (see: http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines/results.htm). Domestic violence has been so narrowly defined in our society that most people, including abused men, believe that it begins and ends with men beating their intimate female partners. Many men who suffer physical, emotional, psychological, financial, and/or sexual abuse at the hands of their intimate partners do not realize that this too is domestic violence . They will usually write it off as their partner having a bad day or feel that they must have done something to deserve the abuse.

Further, agencies that offer a myriad of supportive services and shelter to victims of domestic violence do little to encourage abused men to come forward and seek help. Few offer outreach to male victims.

The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women is hoping to change that with the first national public awareness campaign on male victims of domestic violence.

We have entered the Pepsi Refresh Project. We are seeking a $250,000 award from Pepsi for our project idea to bring public awareness to male victims of domestic violence. This funding will enable us to send outreach materials (brochures, posters, booklets and placards) about male victims to 7,500 agencies that work with victims of domestic violence across the country.

In order to obtain this $250,000 award we need your help. The public determines, through voting on their favorite project ideas at the Pepsi site, who wins. Please click on this link to vote for our project idea:

FYI, our idea, “Give Under Served Victims of Domestic Violence a Lifeline,” is located under the 250K category. Voting goes from Aug.1st to Aug. 31st. Remember to vote DAILY so that we can pursue this project and ask your friends and family members to do the same. Thank you for helping us to bring awareness and services to victims and their families.

Men need awareness and services too.

Go to our Pepsi Refresh Project and please sign up and vote daily August 1-31 to help us win! Sponsored by: www.refresheverything.com.

History of Unjust Rape Laws

A great article on the history of unjust rape laws, how the course of justice has been perverted over the years when it comes to alleged rapes:

Library Not For Boys

From Reddit/MensRights:

I don't get to the library very often, but today during lunch I stopped by and found myself struck by something. Inside the entrance there were a number of bulletin board advertising various events... Girls Summer Reading Club, Self-defense for Girls. Girls Rock Camp (learn Rock and Roll), Girls this and Girls that. But no clubs or events specifically for Boys.

There were some non-gender activites, like Learn to Use the Libary Computer System, and on the front of each brochure was the smiling face of a girl. I stopped to look through all the posters, pictures, sign-up sheets for clubs and events, awards and artwork on display in the foyer and not one featured a boy.

Scattered around the library there were life-size cuttouts of famous women: actresses, scientists, businesswomen, each with a story of her life, maybe about 20 figures in total. Many were in front of the Girls Summer Reading Section. I asked a librarian where the Boys Summer Reading Section was located. There is none.

In the Childrens section on the tops of the stacks were displayed books of interest. When you read the titles, they all seemed uniformly feminine. Nothing about soldiers, ancient Greece, cowboys, cars, coal mines.

On the walls in the main room they displayed posters made by children on various subjects, the Reading is Fun type of thing, I did see a few boys names, but mostly girls.

Throughout the whole library I saw many dozens of pictures of girls and women, but did not see one picture of a boy. I saw no display that would appeal to a boy and no activity or event that seemed to welcome boys or anything at all that seemed to speak to boys' interests.

I fear the same is happening in elementary schools and that by the time boys get to high school and college they are made to feel not just uninvited, but distinctly unwelcome.

Tired of Hearing this Crap on the Radio

I occasionally listen to a Central Michigan University radio station (located in Mount Pleasant, MI) which routinely airs offensive advertisements for Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates (SAPA), an organization that promotes the idea that only women can be victims of sexual assault and intimate violence and only men can be perpetrators.

In protest I have created a site detailing SAPA's misandry: http://cmusapa.blogspot.com/
