Fathers for Justice founder Matt O'Connor claims that voices of rage have started to dominate and destroy the fathers' rights campaign in England. The recent order issued against David Lettermen is further evidence that frivolous or baseless restraining orders and TROs have become commonplace in the American legal system. According to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Ombudsman, the producers of Breaking the Silence "apparently do not subscribe to the idea that an argument can be made more convincing by giving the other side a fair presentation." The producers of Breaking the Silence made an egregious error in casting a physically abusive mother as a wronged heroine. Issues like same-sex marriage, Hurricane Katrina, the price of gas and many other pressing questions are currently eclipsing gun rights. When the issue reassumes center stage, some will be surprised to see that it wears a somewhat different face — a more feminine face. The credibility of Breaking the Silence may hinge on one question: does it incorrectly portray Sadiya Alilire as an heroic mom instead of a child abuser? Attendees at Northeastern University's "Women of Color Dialogue" event said they would feel "threatened … if white women were present." For better or worse, new reproductive technologies are redefining the ground rules of reproduction. The debate over the Boy Scouts' status is heating up. William Paterson University reprimanded 63-year-old Jihad Daniel for sending to the chair of the Women's Studies Department an email asking not to receive further invitations to gay and lesbian events. In the wake of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, every anti-domestic violence advocate should advise victims — male or female — to learn self-defense. The Violence Against Women Act is a living symbol of anti-male bias in law. School districts are using the The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System to collect private information about children of any age without parental permission. From 1992 to 2000, the ratio of enrolled males to females fell from 82 to 78 boys for every 100 girls. A determined father in Massachusetts has delivered an early Father’s Day gift to non-custodial parents, the overwhelming majority of whom are dads. In a case that threatens to impact the reproductive options available to infertile couples, Ivonne V. Ferguson has filed for child support against sperm donor Joel McKiernan. Fathers 4 Justice has just landed on American shores with the creation of F4J-US. Elements of the Jennifer Wilbanks story are newsworthy but, oddly enough, those aspects remain almost unmentioned. Individuals should be assuming, not relinquishing personal control over their own health. We should down-size government’s interest in what we eat and right-size the statistics it’s feeding us. The controversy regarding Janeal Lee, Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin, has raised the question, What does it mean to be disabled? Student journalist David Huffman’s attempts to attend the University of New Hampshire’s taxpayer-funded ‘Patriarchy Slam’ revealed the inevitable contradiction between ‘free speech’ and ‘tax funding.’ The accusations brought against Cosby are almost certainly not politically inspired, but they are being used by those who oppose Cosby’s political and social views to discredit Cosby’s criticism of the way some black parents raise their children. Warren Farrell’s latest book, Why Men Earn More, has stirred vigorous debate about the so-called wage gap and its causes. SpongeBob SquarePants is gay! Or is he? And why is there so little information on a matter everyone is discussing? |
