THIS JUST IN!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
We've lately been observing some postings by a woman calling herself 'Liz Richards,' who claims to have some inside info on the men's movement, as well as 'proof' that it is an organized, federally-funded, effort. She also claims to have 'proof' of misdeeds and improper inclinations on everybody from Stephen Baskerville to Warren Farrell. We've just received this exchange in our e-mail: (edited for continuity only)
From: LIZGOAL@aol.com
<< We have hard evidence/proof that the men are organized and federally funded for the sole purpose of screwing women in court. Do you want to be in charge of
fighting this form of corruption-- or is the only type of corruption you care about is that which affects you!>>

For what purposes do you what to know this information? I don't see any
reason why I should share it with any person with a name like yours - who
probably belongs to the corrupt ring of men who have been deliberately
fabricating a false social dialogue to shift blame for group male misconduct
to women, to make yourselves into victims to hide the fact that you are
deliberating cheating women out of their children and basic legal right, by
fabricating false charges against them, by use of force and fraud against
them. The worse you say about "feminisim" doesn't come close to what you are doing yourself.
Order the document listed at the bottom of this HHS site to learn more how
you can get in on federally funded cheating ring - in case you haven't heard
about it before.

Kudos to angryharry for being the first to ask!! Haven't seen that document yetbut I'm pretty sure that if there was some federal funding lurking out there, or the kind of organization she claims in other postsI wouldn't need to spend 16 hours a day at the computer working for men's rights! Nor would the rest of us who spend our own money and time getting the word out.

A NEW VOICE
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
To launch the new, "Guest Editorial" section of the DLJ website, we have a thoughtful essay by Steve Van Valkenburg.
THE NEED FOR AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO GENDER EQUALITY
Males and females have patterns of ability, thought and behavior that
are different from, not superior to, each other. Life has been
difficult and hazardous for both sexes throughout most of recorded
history. Men and women have survived by taking on those roles that
they were best suited to. Prior to the industrial revolution, most
work was in agriculture. Most men would work in the fields as they
generally had greater physical strength. As the death rate was much
higher than today, women would tend to have many children and be
responsible for childcare. These roles originated out of necessity,
rather than from a desire of men to oppress women. Indeed, men would
be expected to protect their families, while women would nurture
them. In this way men and women would use their complementary
strengths to help each other survive

WOMAN JAILED OVER FALSE ABUSE CLAIM
By Terry Vau Dell - Staff Writer
OROVILLE - A Gridley woman was jailed Wednesday for filing a phony
spousal abuse claim which reportedly left her husband facing criminal
charges and with no place to live but his car for five months before
the lie was uncovered.
According to court records, Estella Rodriguez, 52, took photos of a
bruise to her thigh she received in a fall from a ladder, using it
later to try to prove her husband had kicked her and thrown a metal
file at her

RABID FEMINISTS CALL FATHERS' RIGHTS ADVOCATES 'INCEST PROPONENTS'
Candis McLean
Seldom have recent stories in The Report evoked so many and such vitriolic letters as those prompted by an article in the June 11, 2001, issue entitled "Dad as Nurturer." The article summarized findings in the book, "Father and Child Reunion: How to Bring the Dads We Need to the Children We Love," by California author Warren Farrell.
The tenor of the letters in response is summed up by the comment from M.L. Bruno of Wrightstown, New Jersey, who wrote: "WHAT A CROCK."
Warren Farrell "advocates incest," wrote Cindy Ross of the National Alliance for Family Court Justice in Fairfax, California. "There are a number of other sexologists, pedophiles and incest proponents connected to 'Fathers' Rights,' 'Children's Rights' and 'shared parenting' organizations," she claims. "By renaming themselves 'psychologists' and 'child experts,' they try to give the illusion of legitimacy to their perverse agenda. The only 'fatherhood' they promote is controlling and abusive, and the only 'relationships' between fathers and children that they advocate are sexual in nature or otherwise inappropriate."

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

DR DAVID HARRIES does make exceedingly good cakes. So much so that his
mouth-watering Victoria sponge, quiche, jams and gingerbread beat all the local housewives to win the village fete cookery contest. This year, he has been barred.
Such was the ill-will that followed Dr Harries's victory last year that he has been ruled ineligible to defend his title and the organisers of the Goodworth Clatford Flower Show and Fete have been left ruing the day when real men learned to bake quiche

From Tom Smith, Men's Rights Yahoo Group:
There's a guy on the net that put some web pages together that are really great. Of all the men's rights guys, this guy takes the cake. He has the most comprehensive understanding of what we are struggling with than anyone else I have seen on the net or anywhere else.
Here's the link:
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/3951/index2.html#the%20eye
At the bottom of the page is a list of topics. Each topic is his little essay and links to other areas connected to those topics which are also his little essays. They are delightful and come from the heart of a seminal MASCULIST. God bless Zenpriest.
