- Secretary of State Clinton helps in international child custody case David Goldman may now have a chance of regaining custody of his son from Brazil, which is a good thing. But why Hillary? Is it because she really believes Mr. Goldman should have custody; or, is it because she knows she can get considerable international press coverage? The only reason I wonder is John Murtari was arrested I don’t know how many times as he stood in front of Senator Clinton’s offices with a sign asking for her to intervene in his long running custody dispute. She ignored him, except to have him repeatedly thrown in jail. I guess his case wasn’t high profile like Mr. Goldman’s. Me thinks two-faced Hillary smelled publicity. Otherwise she would not even have given Mr. Goldman a cursory bum’s rush.
- The scarcity of information about male domestic violence related male suicides has interested me for several years. About a year ago my friend Richard Davis, one of the best DV researchers in the world, took a similar interest. Since then he has been digging up what little information exists, some of which will be revealed in an upcoming article soon to be published by www.PoliceOne.com. He notes in an email that, “You might remember that in 2005 the UVDRS [Utah Violent Death Reporting System] reported 42 male and 2 female domestic violence-related suicides. In 2006 the number changed dramatically for females, in 2006 it was 35 male and 11 female domestic violence-related suicides. Of that number 6 were homicide suicides. Nevertheless the number of male domestic violence related deaths continues to be far higher for males than females” First, there are substantially more male DV and non DV related suicides than female DV and non DV related homicides; so, why do we only hear about the epidemic of female DV related homicides? Second, why the change in the Utah data? Were there really substantially less male DV related suicides and substantially more female related suicides in 2006. I suspect the only significant change was in how information re such deaths was interpreted. And, that that interpretation was caused by pressure from the misandric ideologically driven Utah Domestic Violence Council. Why? Because the victimization of women is central to the survival and growth of the Women Industries which cannot survive in its present state when the world wakes up to the resounding fact that in general men are far more abused than are women, most starkly in death. Unfortunately, “death review teams” vary dramatically from one geographic location to another, but all are designed to minimize male DV related deaths while embellishing female DV related deaths. We will change that…
- New Trial for Man Convicted Of Wife Rape, an incredible tale of judicial and prosecutorial misconduct arising from the war against men and fathers, “guilty unless he proved otherwise… The defense attorney stated in his motion that [Assitant DA Mary] Kellett told the jury “there was no evidence that the sexual assaults did not occur…” Also http://www.fillerfund.com/
- Boys Don’t Cry, research found three in 10 women in England and Wales have experienced domestic abuse. It’s two in 10 for men. Very good audio documentary that debunks many Supremist Feminst myths. Sent to you by Dave H. in New Jersey - go figure.

- I GUESS THIS MEANS ANY OF YOU ABUSED GUYS TOO! Small Grants Assist Domestic Violence Survivors, The Allstate Foundation Education and Job Training Fund, established by the Foundation in partnership with National Network to End Domestic Violence, provides small grants to survivors of domestic violence to help them achieve their educational and job related goals. Eligible expenses include books and tuition for school, job skills training, temporary child care, public transportation, etc. Any survivor of domestic violence is eligible to apply; however, the application must be completed by a local domestic violence program or coalition to be accepted. Applications may be submitted at any time. Details about the program are available on the National Network to End Domestic Violence website.
- Rihanna ‘hit Chris Brown first’ No surprise really. Bottom line, well… if Rihanna had not been punching Chris, then Chris would not have defended himself and beat Rihanna sillier than she already is. Here though, as usual, the person who attacked first, perpetrated the violence, started the ruckus, is somehow seen as the victim and will escape consequences for her criminal behavior for no reason other than she is a woman. On the other hand, Chris, who apparently acted in self-defense is being prosecuted for no other reason than he is a man. Had roles been reversed Chris would still be the one being prosecuted. The media quickly condemned Chris. His concerts were even cancelled. Let’s see if any adverse consequence to Rihanna’s career develops. Though I’ll bet nothing harms her and the media will find a way to minimize her outrageious behavior, continue to glorify her as a hapless target of violence, while Chris, the true victim, is further vilified. Oh, does anyone know if either Chris or Rhianna were raised by a single mother? Any bets?
