Judge in Tennessee Tells Man he is Wrong for Not Wanting to Pay Child Support for Child That Isn't his

A news video from a local Tennessee station highlights the fact that in many family courts across the country Judges feel as though men who fight paying child support for children who aren't theirs are unfairly hurting the child because even though he's not the father "all children need a daddy". Or at least this is the excuse the judge often gives:


"(Memphis) Talk show TV makes millions off the catch phrase, you are not the Daddy!
However, the reality in Memphis is just because you’re not the father, doesnt mean you won’t have to pay. Edward Bowdery told us, “I was down there in handcuffs and chains.” Over the years Bowdery had his drivers license stripped and once even found himself in handcuffs over child support payments for a child that’s not his, “I would hate to see somebody else go through the same thing. I’ve been going through this, headaches.” A mound of paperwork shows a juvenile court judge ordered him to pay child support even before the birth. “I didn’t do a voluntary acknowledgement. I didn’t sign the birth certificate. All I know is we legitimated the child in your name,” said Bowdery."

Should we Just Blame Men for Female Circumcision? No Not Really

We've all heard the claim that men-only are responsible for female genital mutilation in third world countries and it is one of the most malicious lies perpetrated right now. But as UNICEF reports it's usually women who perform the procedure and female genital mutilation is a ritual that is seen as "women's business":

"In the majority of cases it is mothers or grandmothers who organize and support the cutting of their daughters, and in many places the practice is considered “women’s business.” DHS survey data from eight African countries where FGM/C is practiced show a higher proportion of women than men favouring its continuation (Yoder, Abderrahim, and Zhuzhuni 2004: 44). This is consistent with data and testimony drawn from field reports and case studies (Gruenbaum 2001: 35; Johnsdotter 2002: 93-101; Shell-Duncan et. al 2000: 121-122).
The perpetuation of FGM/C and professed support of the practice by women represent one of the chief puzzles that researchers have sought to better understand. To say that patriarchy causes FGM/C is insufficient, because most, if not all, communities that do not practice FGM/C are also patriarchal."

http://www.polisci.ucsd.edu/~gmackie/documents/UNICEF.pdf

"The large majority of girls and women are cut by
a traditional practitioner, a category which includes
local specialists (cutters or exciseuses), traditional
birth attendants and, generally, older members of the
community, usually women. This is true for over 80
percent of the girls "

And it's not just the feminist movement saying this but it is our entire culture lying to us about this.

The Feminist Movement's Claim About Women in the Third World Having no Basic Rights is Bogus

In this blog post I will be presenting clear, concrete, documented, evidence refuting the idea that most of the women in third world countries do not have property rights, that women in third world countries cannot travel overseas without a man, that women in third world countries cannot open a bank account without a man, that women in third world countries are not allowed to work, and that women in third world countries do not have constitutional protections against sexual assault. And I will be doing this by linking you to direct documentation from the constitutions of these Third World Countries via the World Bank. I will also be illustrating a clear example of the mainstream media telling a dramatic bold faced lie about the rights women are given in one Third World country in particular.


What inspired me to look into this and indirectly led me to the information was a post on Exposing Feminism's facebook page where they were countering the claim made in a Time Magazine article about how a google search of terms related to women proved that women were all second class citizens across the world and a conversation with a fellow MRA on the phone who was researching the lies the feminists were telling about Brazil. It's amazing what brainstorming can bring up. Here's the fantastic post Exposing Feminism made countering their claim:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=714857065209153&set=a.513187095376152.130942.500036446691217&type=1&theater


And here's the Time Magazine article where they claim women are all second class citizens:

http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/10/18/new-ad-campaign-uses-popular-search-terms-to-show-how-the-world-really-feels-about-women/


Now if you click on that first hyperlink in that Time Magazine article you will be led to a Discovery Channel webpage which they use as proof of their claim that the men in the third world have all turned women into second class citizens. Well if you go to reason #6 for why women are supposedly all second class citizens in the third world countries they state that women in Chile do not have the right to own property/land:

"6. Restricted Land Ownership
In some countries, such as Chile and Lesotho, women lack the right to own land."

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/curiosity/topics/examples-gender-inequality-around-world.htm

But if you read the comments under that statement by the readers you will notice a person who lives in Chile tells them they're lying:

" .... I'm from Chile... I don't know where you got this information, but when my grandfather passed away my grandmother became the new owner of the house and land. My mum bought a piece of land a few months ago and now is building herself a new house. My step mum's mother owned a dairy farm that she inherited from her dad when he passed away so...."


So me being the curious guy that I am I went and looked up everything I could find on Chile and Lesotho and after a substantial amount of searching I found the World Bank's information on these countries and the constitutional rights of women there and guess what? The Discovery Channel, the UN and Time Magazine were lying through their damned teeth. Women in Chile and Lesotho do have the right to own property and sons and daughters have equal inheritance rights:

Chile:

Lesotho:

The idea that women have no property rights would make no sense whatsoever in countries where historically men have been drafted into the military and left their wives behind. Why would anyone leave a wife on their land when they could die in the war and that property would just be stolen by any man who came by? Does this make any sense? Do you know how destabilized a region would be due to this?

But not only do women in Chile have property rights but their testimony in court constitutionally holds the same value as a man's, they have protection under the constitution from sexual violence, domestic violence, the law mandates maternity leave over there for women and actually the GOVERNMENT pays their maternity leave not the employer! Women are allowed to retire at 60 and receive full retirement pay from the Government but men have to wait until 65 even though the life expectancy for men is only 75 while the life expectancy for women is 82. Take a look for yourself:

India is the other big country the feminists like to demonize as a place where all the men are oppressive monsters and the women have no rights. Well guess what? Women in India have full property rights, sons and daughters have equal inheritance rights, the law mandates paid maternity leave but not paternity leave, a woman can retire and receive full benefits at age 58 from the Government, the women have constitutional protection from domestic violence, sexual violence, emotional abuse, sexual harassment, and a woman's testimony carries the same evidentiary weight in court as a man’s:

But according to MS Magazine which is feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem's publication, India hates women:

"India hates women. That is the ugly, unvarnished truth."

http://msmagazine.com/blog/2013/01/07/being-female-in-india-a-hate-story/

If they hate women why give them all these constitutional rights?

Let's go to Africa since the feminist movement LOVES to claim that men are just slapping women around in the streets there left and right and that they have no rights. Let's look at Rwanda which is a low income country. First of all a whopping 88% of the women are employed people there, women have equal property rights to men, the law mandates paid maternity leave, women can retire at 55 and receive full retirement benefits, women have the right to work the same jobs as men, a woman's testimony carries the same evidentiary weight in court as a man’s, the constitution guarantees equality before the law, women have constitutional protections from domestic violence, sexual violence, emotional abuse and sexual harassment:

Let's look at Nigeria which is another one of the feminist movement's favorite targets to symbolize male oppression. In Nigeria women are provided a non discrimination clause in the constitution, the constitution guarantees equality before the law, women have full property ownership rights, girls have equal inheritance rights, the law provides paid maternity leave BUT NOT paid paternity leave, women can retire and receive full benefits at 50, a woman's testimony carries the same evidentiary weight in court as a man’s, women have constitutional protections from domestic violence, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse

Let's go to Ethiopia. 81% of the women there are employed, they have non-discrimination clauses in the constitution that specifically covers women, women have full business ownership rights, women have full property ownership rights, girls have equal inheritance rights, maternity leave is mandated by the Government BUT NOT paternity leave, a woman can retire and receive full benefits at 60, a woman's testimony carries the same evidentiary weight in court as a man’s, and women have protections from domestic violence, emotional abuse, and sexual harassment:

Some of these third world countries actually have quotas where the Governments are forced to be a certain percentage of the federal and or local Government:


In Columbia the local Governments have to be at least 30% women:

http://wbl.worldbank.org/data/exploreeconomies/colombia/2013


In Bangladesh the local Governments have to be 21% women and the Federal Government has to be at least 14% women:

http://wbl.worldbank.org/.../bangladesh/2013


In Kenya, a country the feminist organizations love to bash, the Governments are forced to have at least 33% women in both local and Federal Government:

The federal Government in Nepal is forced to be at least 33% women:

In Niger they have to be at least 10% of the federal Government:

In Pakistan they have to be at least 17.5% of the federal Government:

http://wbl.worldbank.org/data/exploreeconomies/pakistan/2013


In Rwanda not only do women have to make up at least 30% of both federal and local Governments but they also have to make up at least 30% of all Corporate boards BY LAW:

And in Zimbabwe women have to make up 20% of the federal Government:

http://wbl.worldbank.org/data/exploreeconomies/zimbabwe/2013


The idea that women in Third World countries have no basic rights is the feminist movement's most powerful claim in demonizing men collectively and as we can see it's yet another bogus instance of empty rhetoric.

The Contradictory Messages Women Give to Men

Look at the two messages in both songs. These are the contradictory messages men are getting today from an awful lot of women. Why do we wonder why some men choose not to marry?

The Witch Persecutions and the Untold Story of Female Participation

The feminist movement has effectively whitewashed the history of the witch persecutions and now people believe that it was just men targeting women and it was just that simple. Somehow they get amnesia anytime you bring up the fact that in places like Scotland the Scottish Witchcraft Act was approved by Mary Queen of Scots:

"By touching bills with her sceptre, she assented to several laws, among them, declaring it a capital crime to practice witchcraft"

http://books.google.com/books?id=i8kD_XkHcNcC&pg=PA91&lpg=PA91&dq=Mary%2C+Queen+of+Scots+witchcraft+act&source=bl&ots=3rv6gfh6lR&sig=7SbISCg9RLHQCR_IjRZ0l3nDELE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hXhoUt7zJ4To9gTcp4HAAw&ved=0CEAQ6AEwAzgo#v=onepage&q=witch&f=false


And contrast this with how the feminists tell the history:

"In Lewd Women and Wicked Witches, Marianne Hester reviews and develops revolutionary feminist thinking. Accordingly, she shows how witches can be seen as victims of the oppression of a male dominated society.
Concentrating on English source material, the author shows how witch-hunts may be seen as an historically specific example of male dominance."

http://books.google.com/books/about/Lewd_Women_and_Wicked_Witches.html?id=JaQSVcptVxYC


Witchcraft persecutions in England got started with Elizabeth I's statute:

"Witchcraft persecutions really began in England in 1563 with the statute of Elizabeth I"

Feminist University Lecturer Says Meat-Eating is Proof of Oppression of Women

Carol J. Adams a self proclaimed vegan feminist and a woman who is a favorite on University campuses for student lectures in her book as well as her speeches claims that meat eating is proof of male-oppression of women as well as animals. In her book THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT we see her in characteristic feminist fashion blaming everything on men and using the feminist movement's favorite word "patriarch" over and over again:

"Dietary habits proclaim class distinctions, but they proclaim patriarchal distinctions
as well. Women, second-class citizens, are more likely to eat what are
considered to be second-class foods in a patriarchal culture: vegetables,
fruits, and grains rather than meat.

The sexism in meat eating
recapitulates the class distinctions with an added twist: a mythology
permeates all classes that meat is a masculine food and meat eating
a male activity...

Women are the food preparers; meat has to be cooked to be palatable
for people. Th us, in a patriarchal culture, just as our culture
accedes to the “needs” of its soldiers, women accede to the dietary
demands of their husbands, especially when it comes to meat...

Women are allied with animals because they too are objects of use
and possession. Women’s oppression is expressed through the trope
of meat eating...

A feminist-vegetarian critical theory begins, as we have seen, with the
perception that women and animals are similarly positioned in a
patriarchal world, as objects rather than subjects."

Lack of Women in Tech Industry? Blame the Job Ads for Being Too Masculine

Why are there not as many women in the tech industry as men? Could it be due to the fact that women aren't as interested in how electronics work as men? Nope. According to the feminist controlled Universities it's because ad listings for tech jobs use "masculine language" that discourages women from applying:

"According to a paper recently published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, there could be a subtle gender bias in the way companies word job listings in such fields as engineering and programming. Although the Civil Rights Act effectively bans companies from explicitly requesting workers of a particular gender, the language in these listings may discourage many women from applying."
