BBC is recently doing a documentary on cruel system in UK denying fathers access to their children. Agony of the frozen-out fathers: BBC documentary Watching a preview of next week’s BBC series Who Needs Fathers?, I felt ashamed to be a woman. The men on the programme appeared to be loving, attentive fathers – not extremists in Batman costumes. All they wanted was to play their part in the upbringing of their children. But, at every turn, it seemed, vengeful, short-sighted women were selfishly trying to thwart them. Further there are some statistics on number of children who are growing up without fathers, the figures do not seem much different from India’s: Too few children are growing up with that balance. Ninety three per cent of children live with their mother after a … [Read more...] about Who needs fathers: BBC documentary
Rape by women, and why gender biased laws are evil
Two newspaper articles below show the reality of rape by women. Anyone in Indian government or legislature who is making laws only to protect women must be having their eyes closed, or waiting for a near and dear one to be sexually abused or raped by a woman, before they admit reluctantly to it. Interesting point is: the feminists always protest against making sexual abuse laws to be gender neutral. If the same logic was applied to murder statistics, then murder laws should be applicable only against males. Because in India, more than one lakh people are murdered every year and 90 % are male. More than two lakh people die in accidents and 85% are male. So if feminists’ logic of using statistics to push for gender biased laws was true, then laws related to murder should apply only to … [Read more...] about Rape by women, and why gender biased laws are evil
NCW is helping itself with taxpayer money, but just not helping women
Fresh news breaks about National Commission for Women’s wayward ways with taxpayer money: Audit raps NCW for huge backlog, spendthrift ways NEW DELHI: * Of the 12,895 complaints that came to National Commission for Women (NCW) between 2008-09, only a little over half (7,509) were addressed. Of these, only 14% could be disposed of. Conclusion: The words Accountability and NCW should never be used in the same sentence. * Out of the 22 NGOs or individuals that were given grants worth Rs 22 lakh for research projects, 15 have not even submitted an interim report. Conclusion: What a women’s NGO does with taxpayer money is nobody else’s business. * Mandatory requirements like jail visits to assess living conditions of women have not been made for the past 4 years.

Fake Taliban video to demonize men?
Sent by Stan Rains: For those who recall the international furor over the video of the Taliban publicly whipping a girl for being seen in public with a married man, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2009/apr/02/swat-valley-flogging , it has been recently announced after a criminal investigation that the video was a fake. An NGO or private group with a special interest created the video and paid all present who participated in the event, including the girl who is supposedly being whipped. I am not defending the Taliban, I am addressing the lack of truth and balance in reporting gender issues. The video was meant to wrongly demonize men. It was presented as truth of abuse of girls by men with the intent to stir emotions. It is propaganda. The video is a lie. It relies … [Read more...] about Fake Taliban video to demonize men?
Mulayam Yadav cites danger about males missing in parliament
I was pleased to note that the danger of males being left out of parliament posted on this blog a while ago is now being voiced by Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav. He deserves some respect for this because there are very few politicians who are doing straight talk about provisions of WRB which are a clear infringement on Indian men’s constitutional rights. So it seems that the message about ills of present women’s reservation bill are spreading and politicians are not afraid to voice them. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_women-s-bill-won-t-let-a-male-be-elected-to-lok-sabha-mulayam-singh_1362475 He said not a single male would be elected to the Lok Sabha 10 years after the bill comes into force and advocated quota for the fairer sex within political parties. "Once the bill comes … [Read more...] about Mulayam Yadav cites danger about males missing in parliament
