"Tots in Tiaras" or Child Abuse?

I often shake my head when I see these "mommy dearest" young girls trotted out in Entertainment Tonight in a "slow-mo car wreck" manner - but this takes it to an all new low.

Mythbuster - the Double Shift for Women not true.

"Men and women already do the same number of hours of productive work".

The article from London school of Economics argues that in societies where genuine choices are open to women, the key driver to how work is divided comes down to lifestyle preference, not gender.

Then I see this headline: Canada a laggard in developing women leaders.

Which claims that Canadian companies are not doing enough to to promote women and make employment friendly to women.

And I have just started to read new book "Manning Up" by Kay Hymowitz.

Glimmer of hope in false rape stats

In National Post yesterday, this article begins to question the false rape stat "1in4 on campus are raped". Mike Murphy has done an excellent job of highlighting the errors in this stat.

Also, notable is this (incredibly) short article about the acceptance of Infanticide in the Ontario Court of Appeal decision.

Seven years after dumping him, Barbie gets back with Ken

Funny, if it weren't another example of brainwashing children to do women's bidding - no matter how wrong.  At least this article took pains to explain the opinion of a therapist that Ken doesn't have to take her back.

Mothers Child abuse

Chilling case of child abuse in news yesterday with headline "Manslaughter for mom who shopped for CDs as scalded baby lay dying from burns"   And the father tried to inquire about the child but was putoff or down by Mom - AND HE BUCKLED.

I find this quite interesting as one of Lionel Tigers pieces recently was how men are today so highly conditioned to think less of their parenting skills - and often allow themsleves to browbeaten as "inferior" to mom's "superior, innate knowledge" - when it is just rubbish.   If keep at it, sometimes they learn to trust themselves more and begin to understand the ruse.  But, some don't.

As this child was so young, the Dad believed the stereotypical rubbish our media constantly feeds us - so he buckled and lost.   Very sad.

Teacher Sexual Abuse

Fathers rights advocate Walter Schneider who runs www.FathersforLife.org recently asked this question "Are your children safe from sexual predators at school"?  and then linked to this huge list of 230+ convicted female school teachers in the US.    The associated article explores many of the issues - especially that female predators are treated much more leniently that males.  One of the major forces in establishing some kind of accountability for schools is Nevada single mom, Terri Millar - President of "Stop Educator Sexual Abuse, Misconduct and Exploitation" or SESAME [Ed: The site seems to have gone offline recently and I could only find a cached record.]  Here was another organization who counsels schools how to deal with the issue and have accumulated these stats.

The Super Bowl Hoax

I am glad that we can turn Super Bowl week into a commemoration of this vicious slander that feminists propagated in 1993.  It is similar to the "white ribbon" campaigns held frequently to honour DV victims.  It is as much of an atrocity and should be brought to light.

Belonging and Rejection

This report by the Family Research Council of Washington DC has developed a measure of our current Social Health that it calls the Index of Belonging and Rejection. The Index of Belonging (45%) and Rejection (55%) gives an instant read on the social health of America by measuring the proportion of American children who have grown up in an intact married family and the rate by which family's disintegrate.

• Only 45% of U.S. teenagers have spent their childhood with an intact family, with both their birth mother and their biological father legally married to one another since before or around the time of the teenager s birth.
• 55% of teenagers live in families where their biological parents have rejected each other. The families with a history of rejection include single-parent families, stepfamilies, and children who no longer live with either birth parent but with adoptive or foster parents.

When one thinks of the negative impacts of family breakdown on children's development - I was struck by the stunning simplicity of this interpretation using facts readily available to us for some time.  I recommend it.

Feminists rail against the machine

Reminds me of the local feminists blogs. [I can't link to them as it would lead to attacks - just go to search for "The F Word" Blog to see what I mean.  Here is a pdf printout of the article I was thinking about.]
