    '''''''You have no place in my life and I don't understand what you are talking about when you say you need to be with your child. If you have a child somewhere it's not something I know about, so don't be a fool.'''''''
    So by end of the nest moth she will give brith,so my hope that you will do the right thing to the child and I'am ready to do the Testmatchwith the child to prove I'am the father as long as I got to know from her that she telling the stae that she don't know the father to take financial support as also I know from her by emails that she have been in Prison and also she were Drugabuseand Addicted toalcohol and you can get sure from your source from my words over here so I asked also to prodact the child.

  2. Living In My Car After False Domestic Violence Charges

    by , 14th-May-2012 at 10:44 PM (My Annotated Pain)
    ATLANTA- A year ago, after 20 years of marriage, my ex-wife falsely accused me of striking her. I didn't touch her.

    As a result of her lie, I have experienced arrest, incarceration, conviction, and loss of freedom. I am penniless and lived in my car for three months. I ate out of trash cans.

    I now have temporary accommodation courtesy of a Veteran's Administration program for homeless men. I am 44-years-old.

    I had made good money as a pharmaceutical salesman for companies such as Merck, Pfizer and Novartis. But I had been laid off and depressed for a year.

    The night my former wife falsely accused me of violent crimes, she took my daughter and moved in with a girlfriend, who also had falsely accused her own husband a few years ago. I'm convinced they planned this together.

    She filed a restraining order against me and I had two minutes to get out of my home. When I tried to retrieve a pair of shoes from my wife's SUV, I was arrested and spent 41 days in jail. While I was in jail, she sold our $250,000 house and captured all our joint assets. I had paid $30,000 of the down payment for that house.

    I've been denied access to my 12-year-old-daughter entirely. The pain of this particular injury is indescribable.

    My primary concern is the safety and well-being of my daughter. In fact, men typically do not leave an abusive relationship because they often fear for their children's safety. I raised my daughter. My wife never participated.

    GENDER BIAS

    Gender biased stereotypes have ultimately placed me at the mercy of our pathetic family law system who absolutely know nothing about me. They do not care to know me.

    The following was retrieved from www.mediaradar.org, '50 Domestic Violence Myths':

    1. Women are just as likely as men to engage in partner aggression, according to hundreds of studies. Partner violence, if it happens, is often mutual. Self defense accounts for only fifteen percent or so of partner aggression.

    2. Less than five percent of domestic violence incidents involve couples in an intact marital relationship, such as mine was. Studies show marriage is clearly the safest partner relationship. In fact, most cases of family conflict do not involve physical violence at all. Mine never did.

    3. I have a restraining order against me now. Over 2/3 of restraining orders issued are determined to be either unnecessary or false. Also, these orders do not prevent future violence from happening.

    In fact, restraining orders may encourage violence.

    Also, if I attempt to reconcile, I will get arrested. If I send my daughter a birthday card, I will be in jail. I've not spoken with or seen my wife or daughter in over two months now. Yet I've been arrested often during this time.

    There is overt gender bias in the family law system. For example, if a man kills his wife, he will get about 20 years in prison, as he should. However, if a woman kills her husband, she will get about 5 years in prison.

    Also, in divorce court, women are granted sole custody of their children about 65 percent of the time. There is in fact a frightening fatherhood crisis in our country. All modesty aside, as a dad, I completely rock out loud.

    I'm a victim of domestic abuse myself. I suffered over a decade of brutal physical and emotional child abuse that you likely do not want to know about.

    Meanwhile, I suggest that others stay out of this system. Resolve your disputes through negotiation. Do not share your dirty laundry with these anti-family law enforcers. Do not fight for your rights in a courtroom. By that time, it is too late.

    I'm presently losing this battle, but I continue to stand up after I've been slammed to the ground several times. I'll stand up again.

    I'm not angry or hateful about what is happening to me- this surreal nightmare that has manifested into a bizarre reality. I will not lower myself to be this way ever. And I will also never live in fear as a result of what is happening to me. If I do become fearful, I will lose this fight completely. And this is a fight I cannot lose. I love my daughter way too much.

    So likely I will be in jail again. This is just a fact about my life now. That's OK, though. Because some battles need to be fought, and the results can lead to suffering.

    So I fight.

  3. My New And Final Life Partner, I Met Online

    by , 14th-May-2012 at 10:35 PM (My Annotated Pain)
    Social network sites can bring people together, who likely would have normally not met. Often, these relationships can be meaningful, and beneficial for those who form such relationships. Some of these relationships can and do become intimate. Marriages can happen, from two people meeting on a social networking site such as Facebook.

    Last year, I began a conversation with a girl I had never actually spoken with on the facebook site. We ended up chatting to each other either on this site or speaking on the phone in these past few months- daily, and often. By sharing words with each other, a solid trust has formed between us, that continues to this day.

    A few months ago, this girl and I actually met, and we spent the weekend together. She drove a few hundred miles, to finally meet me. This was quite brave of her, considering I could of been a guy who would have harmed her, in some way. That is a risk we take, forming intimate relationships on social networking sites.

    This weekend we spent together a few months ago ended up being one of the best weekends she and I had ever experienced, in our lives. We talked. We laughed. We made love. For 48 hours, we became one, this girl and I, during our weekend together, a few months ago.

    I’m now in love, and we are engaged to be married, this girl and I.

    Online relationships can work. These days, it’s often the only suitable method for seeking a life partner, or finding a life partner by chance, as she and I did. Myself, I live in a bad part of the city, so seeking a potentially intimate and meaningful relationship with a woman presently is very difficult, if not impossible.

    With Carol, who is with me on pictures I’ve posted on facebook, I met her again on Facebook, and we started exchanging messages with each other for hours each day.

    It’s necessary for both people to have some courage in order to progress with the relationship you intend to have, and hope for, on a social networking site. She was immediately open and honest with me, as I am with her still. We have enjoyed our words to each other, since day one.

    Also, it’s necessary for each person to have some degree of faith, and to be largely absent of any cynicism and pessimism regarding any intimate relationship that may form. Carol and I both had very long marriages before we met, with people clearly not suitable for us, as individuals.

    Any bitterness, regret, anger, or anxiety we had relating to our past relationships with intimate partners, we keep out of our own relationship, and this continues to this day.

    Each person involved in an intimate relationship that may form on a social networking site must not have any paranoia about meeting a stranger in such a way. Again, we finally met a few months ago, Carol and I. And the weekend we spent together was entirely flawless, we feel. We have no fear or reservations about each other.

    It helps if both people are extroverts, as she and I are, when forming an intimate relationship on a social networking site. This comfort we had and have towards each other is nothing like anything I had ever experienced in the past, with any other relationship I’ve had with anyone.

    Because, like Carol, I began my relationship with her, free of any reservations about meeting a stranger. Also since day one, I do not judge Carol in any way, and she does not judge me. We simply enjoy each other, in a variety of ways.

    We both have a very high degree of comfort with each other, due in large part to trusting each other. We made love almost immediately during our first weekend together, but the weekend was not about sex, a few months ago. The weekend was about enjoying each other’s company in person. She and I longed for this for months, before we actually met.

    We spend most of our time together talking to each other, and laughing together, during this first weekend together. We were ourselves with each other during our weekend together, and it worked. We did not need to put on a different mask from who we really are, with each other.

    I actually did propose to her, I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. I did this in less than 24 hours of actually meeting Carol.

    That is how strong our feelings are for each other, in such a short period of time. Since we are both homeless right now, getting married any time soon will not happen.

    Carol and I are about the same age, and both of us recently had our lives completely wrecked, which is why we are homeless. But, faith and hope is allowing us to continue with our relationship.

    Our relationship is as real and powerful as any intimate relationship formed in traditional manners, such as meeting at a church or some other live social function. Or two people being introduced by family ...

  4. Canada's only men's DV shelter may close due to lack of funding

    by , 9th-May-2012 at 08:38 PM
    NCFM Calgary Liaison Earl Silver’s shelter for abused men faces closure


    Earl Silverman, founder of the Men’s Alternative Safe House (MASH 4077), says the shelter for men who have been abused by women is set to close because of a lack of funding and government support.
    It was supposed to help address a veneered problem in our community, but Earl Silverman, founder of the Men’s Alternative Safe House (MASH 4077) in Calgary, says the city’s only shelter for men who have been abused by women will soon shut its doors for good.
    “If I don’t have a influx of money in four to six months it’s closed,” Silverman says.
    According to Statistics Canada’s recent Family Violence in Canada profile, self-reported acts of spousal violence were almost equal between men and women nationwide. In Alberta, eight percent of women in relationships reported some type of spousal abuse in the past five years, whereas six percent of men had reported domestic violence during the same period. However, women were about three times more likely to be victims of spousal homicide than men.
    Silverman, who was once a victim of female perpetrated domestic abuse, says he had hoped MASH would bring light to the fact almost half of all family violence victims in Canada are “under-served,” but social stigmas run deep. “To recognize that a man is a victim is to recognize that a woman perpetrated it, and society is not open to that possibility,” he says.
    In the two years since MASH opened, Silverman claims more than 30 men (some with children) have been helped at his shelter. MASH receives no government funding; Silverman and a business partner have been funding the operation out of their own pockets and with the help of a few private donations.
    Silverman says his partner is moving on to other endeavours and he’s currently unemployed, making the increasing financial strain to keep MASH going unmanageable. He says he’s tried to get provincial funding for MASH more than six times but the process is unproductive and each time the government tells him there’s “no demonstrated need” for a men’s shelter in Calgary.
    Christina Bruce, spokesperson with Alberta Human Services says the provincial government has made a continued effort to help male victims of domestic violence and that many public resources, including family abuse shelters, are available to men.
    PLEASE CONTACT EARL, SEND HIM SOME MONEY, HELP HIM KEEP OPEN THE ONLY SHELTER FOR ABUSED MEN IN CANADA

  5. A real Man

    by , 9th-May-2012 at 06:59 PM
    In this day and age there are few absolutes. Out of the millions of things that have no exact definition, the idea of masculinity is one of the most muddled set of ideas in world culture. While feminism has garnered a negative, macho, violent image to put on the male identity, many still question the idea.

    The lack of identity not only confuses many males, but puts them into a box of conformity. Namely the adjustment of ones desires to fit the desires of those who decide whether you are a real man or not (females, supervisors, the government)...

    And then there are the lists. Created by women and other men to box adult maleness into an idea. Askmen.com seems to be a whole site dedicated to fitting men into different boxes so that they are more "successful" in this society. Everybody desires to define the "Real Man" as there is no definition. One never sees a list trying to define a "real woman" as they probably don't exist.

    Women are not required to conform and be controlled as men are. They are encouraged to go out and be a man for a day, then be a child, then a woman. Femininity is defined mainly as free, fun, good. Women are often alleviated from responsibility for this reason. They can pick a fight with a man as if they are a man and cower down and become a "woman" to get other men to clean up the mess. While a generalization it plays true more than often with many if not the majority of women.

    Masculinity in contrast is defined for conformity. If a man doesn't conform, he is deadbeat, lazy, ill-responsible, disrespectful, etc. It is taboo to debate(and often disagree) with females or supervisors even when the man (average guy) is more knowledgeable on the topic. This conformity isn't excluded to conversation but to many if not most aspects of a male's life.

    Real men don't wear shorts (you look like a boy), real men don't keep change in a coffee can, they shave but not so close that they don't have whiskers, they don't drive a van, they always pay, never say no, never complain about a problem, etc. The amount of frivolous demands for men to conform is endless... So why are people, and specifically women trying to make men conform? It is to make them social slaves.

    While the claim seems a bit outlandish, look at the evidence. Men are considered much more disposable than women in modern society across the board. Most men are pawns in the game of war, and drones in time of peace serving companies and their wives. In the home, the woman is usually the one to manage the money, look and feel of the house, and the children. Men are limited to home repair, killing bugs, taking out the trash (the more dangerous house jobs). Often the man isn't allowed to contribute to anything else in the house due to the incompetence the women perceives he has. Popular media reinforces these ideas in adverts and through television shows. Men need to be trained up by their superior wives, girlfriends, daughters, and female coworkers/supervisors.

    Social slavery is being pushed on men mainly to override a very masculine trait. The desire to be free. Man is often happiest when free and will do almost anything to gain that freedom even if it doesn't exist. A free man cannot be controlled or forced to act on somebody else's behalf. To override the will to be free, society (media especially), use the other main strong male desire to fight against the first. The will to reproduce...

    The male desire to reproduce is something the society constantly pushes onto men as their primary goal. In addition the media has narrowed down that desire to specifically one part of the idea... sex! Female sexuality is flamboyantly displayed. Aside from the porn/sex industry almost every other industry has a level of sex involved in its advertising. Cars, alcohol, and even work-boots have a tie with sex. Putting the focus on sex minimizes the desire to be free...

    In addition to minimizing the desire to be free, society is further and further trying to address the female desire to be safe. Now don't get me wrong, many women want to be free and many men want to be safe, but as a generalization it rings true. This safety culture put out by various governments counteracts the will to be free. One who is free, is responsible for their own safety and choices. One who is safe, has somebody else take the responsibility for maintaining their interaction with the unknown/danger and must do as their protector does in order to be safe. Since the feminist movement, there has been little progress on dealing with issues they claim to focus on, when compared to the safety laws that have been put in place in the US and many other countries. Progressive laws in particular, are made to "protect" one group or another.
    `
    Safety is important to most men but not as important as freedom is. More ...

  6. The great betrayal - part 1 - "The right"

    by , 5th-May-2012 at 08:29 AM
    As someone might guess, we are in a gender war.
    We didn't declared it, but we are in it. And this is the strangest war of history, because both genders are put against each others by the same actor, the feminism.
    When communication fails and negotiation does not take place, conflict is then inevitable. That's the reason ambassadors are for, to negotiate conflicting interests by harmonizing different cultures and languages. And women and men are so beautifully different.

    I feel the need to share with you few of my thoughts, on why we have issues in reneweing a social pact between the genders, why feminism is carrying men into the belief that women are betraying the current social pact and why women do not get it.

    There are several components that contribute to this "great betrayal", but one stands above the others. It is the twisting of the language and in particular the improper handling of the most abused and yet unknown word, the noun "right".


    THE RIGHT
    People have a common belief that a right is something inherently "good". But this is not true.
    This belief has also partially to deal with "linguistic" patterns (in many languages, such as English, the same word is used as an adjective to describe something which is "fair" or as oppostite to "wrong"), but the real reason we tend to nurture this "optimistic assumption" that once a right is "conquered" we get to better social conditions, comes from our habit to use this word as a description of collective interests.
    When a group owns a right, all the individuals belonging to that group have the some benefits, at the same extent. Unfortunately we tend to drop the awareness that a "right" has inherently a price to be paid; if that price is not fairly shared among the group members, then this price must be paid by another social group (can be a race, an ethnic group, a country, and of course also a gender).

    Indeed a "right" is simply the claim of an entitlement, by either an individual or a group, to a property, to a resource to the fulfillment of specific needs. Nothing more nothing less.

    When someone states "it's my right" the meaning is "this resource is mine". And since in nature resources are limited, a right implies a conflict, ever, no exception.

    So when someone claims a rights, is he/she/it prone to give something in exchange? Rarely, unless a negotiation is started.

    The reason of this digression on the "right" will come clearer in next posts when I will address some practical examples of laws, norms, and why we have a gender conflict simply because we didn't communicated properly or because negotiation did not happen at all or the negotiation treaty has been thrown in the bin.

    Before leaving, a basic principle:

    "when someone claims a right, ever, and I mean ever, do ask who are the stakeholders; who gains, who pays" .
    Do not be fooled by fairness, when someone claims a rights is not asking, that someone is pretending it, and soon or later will try to enforce it with violence. So be bold, ask it, explicitly and wihtout hesitation. It is your own "right" that is under threat.

  7. a refreshing idea for solving the "male" issue

    All Men Should Be Castrated? - International "Castration Day"


    Some Feminists have considered this as an option. It is highly controversial.


    Allow me to introduce myself...


    My name is Krista, otherwise known as "The Femitheist". I am a female, a feminist, and someone who believes strongly in True Equality.


    Now, I will begin explaining this entry before I post the actual article... for your discussion, of course.


    Women MUST and WILL have equality, and this is the ONLY way to achieve TRUE equality. The testicles of all males, which produce the majority of their testosterone, are the primary cause of their violent behavior. The testicles also attribute greatly to many of the health problems men experience later in life (such as prostate cancer and, of course, testicular cancer).


    ~:The Solution... International Castration Day.:~


    It is my belief (which I consider factual based on my research) that all men SHOULD be castrated. Not only for their own safety, but for the safety of all innocent women and children.


    And, to achieve this...


    The entire world should have an international holiday known as: "Castration Day"


    Males of all ages will be brought to the public squares of their cities nude, to stand together in a circle, as they await castration by a woman known as "The Castrator", who will be a woman chosen from the public much like a juror.


    Girls of all ages will attend, lining the streets to cheer and applaud the males as they join the rest of civilized society.


    It will be a free vacation for any working woman. And, young girls will be able to leave school to attend this glorious ceremony.


    The males will then have one hour to get to know their Castrator. Their female "spouse" will also be able to choose whether or not they would like to milk the male in order to retain a sperm sample.


    If the male is too young for a "spouse", their mother or closest female relative will decide.


    After this, the men will be given anesthetics. They will be placed on a table, where their Castrator will then slice open their ball-sack, remove their testicles, and the excess skin, stitch them up and clean them up.


    They will be given thirty minutes to rest after the procedure.


    Once the males have all been castrated, they will be grouped together again for one last look before walking nude back to their homes.


    The women will then return to their jobs, schools, et cetera, and rejoice in the completion of yet another successful ceremony.


    Any man who tries to evade this holiday, "Castration Day", should be murdered wherever they
    are found (treated as a criminal, as it will be a crime not to attend). Or, forced to attend.
    Regardless of age.


    Any woman who disagrees should be provided therapy in order to free her from misogynistic indoctrination.


    This holiday should replace the day known currently as "Father's Day".


    If this practice were adopted officially all across the world, all war, crime, and violence would end.


    We would have a true Eutopia, where peace reigns, and men do only what they exist for...


    Breed.


    Labor.


    SERVE.


    Die.


    Likewise, the change of their hormones would make them less aggressive, and thus less likely to rape. It would also provide them with better health throughout their life, as the testicles are a major cause of health issues in males as they age.


    All will profit from this...



    And, I believe this will come to be someday soon.


    Thanks for your consideration!

  8. Bobbit affair, 20 years later

    by , 1st-May-2012 at 06:26 AM
    I searched on Italian google for "Bobbit".
    For the few that do not know about this story, if any, John Bobbit had his penis cut with a knife by his wife that in front of the court claimed she did because he was selfish...

    Well the third hit of my search was this,

    La nuova Lorena Bobbit, a 15 anni di distanza

    a retrospective view, 15 years later (written in 2008) on a blog run by an Italian feminist. It gives you a picture of where we stand:

    Here the complete and literal English translation.

    The funny and spicy facets of the story have been exploited, obscuring the drama of a woman lead to insanity due to long lasting phisical and psychic violence, that implied an abortion and several abuses.
    The law declared her "not guilty for temporary menthal illness", and the same not guilty sentence for her husband John, who later had to face the American courts in several other occasions for abuses against other women.
    The Bobbit case, was one of the first scandals that raised the awareness of public opinon on the issue of domestic violence and forced abortions, and Lorena, as you can imagine, became an hero of femist of that time.
    Her life today has completely changed; she is a mother, a woam in love, a realized woman busy with social issues, that managed to leave behind her shoulders an incident that nagged her for a long time.
    She leverages on her experience of a abused woman to help other women, that, likewise her, have been victim of domestic abuses. Her organization (Lorena Red Wagon) deals with collecting funds and providing assistance to women, because women should not encour in the same mistake she made: "do not make justice by your own" said in an interview "listen me, this is my reccomendation, do not make justice by your own, it is not right".

    PALM BEACH, Florida | Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:29pm EDT

    (Reuters) - The boss of General Motors Co (GM.N) said on Monday the automaker's most senior woman executive is one of his potential successors, adding that women deal with change better than men and GM still has a lot of changes to make since its 2009 bankruptcy and $50 billion government bailout.
    GM Chief Executive Dan Akerson also said he did not know whether taxpayers would get their money back, though the automaker is generating record profits.
    Akerson said it was critical for the world's largest automaker to boost the ranks of its top female executives.
    He said Mary Barra, 50, the Detroit company's global product development chief overseeing a $15 billion operation, is a candidate to succeed him.
    "I wouldn't be surprised if she were, but I wouldn't handicap it today and I think there are a good number of candidates," Akerson, 63, told a Wall Street Journal conference in Palm Beach, Florida, that discussed women in the economy.
    "It's the board's job (to pick a replacement), not mine."
    Akerson also said the U.S. Treasury, which still owns slightly more than a quarter of GM's outstanding stock, was not involved in decision making. "I know I've done things that have annoyed the U.S. Treasury."
    Asked if taxpayers will get their money back, Akerson replied: "I don't know."
    Akerson, who joined the company as it emerged from bankruptcy, has said he would prefer the next CEO to come from within GM but the board would decide. He gave no time frame for his exit and said he would stay as long as he was making a contribution and the board wanted him.
    Analysts say other candidates to succeed him include Vice Chairman Steve Girsky, 50, and North American operations chief Mark Reuss, 48.
    Explaining why he wants to ensure
    that women at the company are in positions beyond "softer" jobs such as human resources, he pointed out that he has two daughters and also said his mother, who worked as a cashier at a grocery store and rose to become a manager, had a greater impact on him than his father.
    Akerson said women make up 20 to 25 percent of GM's top 50 executives. "Four of 12 of our directors are women, one of our women runs Europe and some of our biggest plants are run by women," he said. "Twenty percent of our technical staff are women.
    We seek women with engineering degrees."
    Barra joined GM in 1980 and has had various manufacturing and engineering jobs and was vice president in charge of global human resources. She was named senior vice president in charge of global product development in February last year and in January was appointed to the supervisory board of GM's struggling Opel European unit.

  10. Citizens United decision: a gift from the Court for men?

    by , 24th-April-2012 at 03:45 PM
    The following are quotes from the January 2010 Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United v Federal Election Commission:

    If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech.

    All speakers, including individuals and the media, use money amassed from the economic marketplace to fund their speech. The First Amendment protects the resulting speech.

    When Government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves.

    Though the case before the court was regarding political financing and the use of mass media, the corollary outcome was the high court for the first time in its history equating money and financial disclosure with speech.

    This logic creates a vast opening for dissenters toward both child support laws and income taxation, as it defines financial activity as being in the realm of freedom of expression and its protection under the First Amendment.

    My argument here may be hard to follow, but the notion is that in the case of a child support order, one is expected not only to make a payment to a government agency, which the Court has held as being speech, but to disclose personal information to that agency about where one lives and earns one's money, which is also speech. If one believes that these items are none of government's business, refusing to disclose them is political speech, and protected under the First Amendment.

    As to income taxation (another method, by the way, of controlling divorced fathers and men in general), my argument for decades has been that being required to disclose and submit personal information to government, along with money (which the Court has now equated with free speech), violates one's right not to speak, which is just another form of expression. When one says to government by not submitting tax forms (speech) or payments (also speech): "this information is none of your business", one is simply exercising one's freedom of expression. The Citizens United ruling by its own construct says government may not prevent this.

    Give it a try. Hundreds of thousands of us refusing to have information, including money (which is speech) ordered and subpoenaed out of us just may get the attention of a system that tramples freedom of expression with impunity.
