Why men are paid more — gender wage gap issue persists

Posted on October 25, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

Update 2018 08 19: Minor edits, fixed broken link, added links to related articles Why men are paid more, by Bettina Arndt, was one of the then rare articles in which a journalist dared to debunk the sacred feminist myth of the gender wage gap. The gender wage gap issue is a staple of redfem propaganda, and the feminist-influenced and -dominated press regularly shrieks about it.  None of that is new, and it persists.  It is new that there are now (in 2006) increasingly more often objective journalists like Bettina Arndt who get a chance to set the record straight. Herald Sun (Melbourne) 16 October 2006 Why men are paid … Continue reading →

[US] Violence Against Women Act: The Fast Food of Law

Posted on October 24, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2019 05 14. to add links to related articles. The [US] Violence Against Women Act: The Fast Food of Law, caused domestic violence (a.k.a. family violence) to be in the news throughout the whole year, but especially at this time of the year. It’s the season of domestic violence months, October in some countries, give or take a month, depending on country. Someone pointed me to two comments by Terri Lynn Tersak, “a professional commercial photographer, the President and CEO of True Equality Network, and a member of the Steering and Legislative Committee of the Maryland based think-tank, RADAR — Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting.” Although the first … Continue reading →

Time to Blow the Whistle on the UN Violence Report

Posted on October 22, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

RADAR Alert > ACTION Sought Time to Blow the Whistle on the UN Violence Report Two weeks ago the United Nations issued its one-sided Study on Violence Against Women: http://www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/vaw/violenceagainstwomenstudydoc.pdf If you haven’t reviewed the report yet, think of it this way: What the Violence Against Women Act has done to families in the United States, this report may do to families throughout the entire world. The report’s portrayal of domestic violence is so flawed that leading family violence researchers around the world are speaking out against its deliberate bias: – Research on intimate partner violence consistently finds that men and women use similar types of aggression. By ignoring the … Continue reading →

Anorexia Nervosa kills very rarely

Posted on October 19, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2019 03 06: Added links to related articles. Anorexia Nervosa kills very rarely. The web pages on the topic of Anorexia Nervosa are by far the most-often visited web pages at Fathers for Life.  The blog category anorexia nervosa has been set up to give people who wish to comment here on the issue of anorexia nervosa a chance to do so. (Unfortunately, commenting at this blog had to be disabled and will most likely remain disabled.) It appears that concerns about anorexia nervosa should not target it as being a deadly disease (it isn’t and kills very rarely) as much, as they should target the physical and emotional ugliness … Continue reading →

The Feminization of Poverty?

Posted on October 9, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2019 03 08: Added links to related articles. The Feminization of Poverty? is another good article by Cary Roberts:  October 3, 2006 The feminization of poverty? There you go again, Hillary! By Carey Roberts Some 20 years ago the feminist crusade ran out of legitimate issues to address, so it did what any smart advocacy group would do: fabricate new injustices and outrages. The gender wage gap? Well, that turned out to be a fraud. The glass ceiling? A fatuous exercise in smoke-and-mirrors logic. Then there’s the “feminization of poverty” canard. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been milking this one for years. Back in 1995, HRC led the U.S. delegation to … Continue reading →

Posted on October 9, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

CBC News, Wednesday, October 4, 2006 The social services system in Newfoundland and Labrador failed a 13-month-old boy, Zachary Turner, who drowned along with his mother in a 2003 murder-suicide, a review has found.

Turner, a general practitioner, fled to Newfoundland after her estranged lover Andrew Bagby, 28, was shot to death in … Continue reading →

Jerry Lien, Life’s Thin Line

Posted on October 7, 2006 by Walter H. Schneider

This morning we went to one of our friend’s funeral services, Jerry Lien, a biker, a poet (he never studied poetry, but his poetry was appreciated by many in this area), a divorced father who never lost touch with his children, a man who loved his children and whose children loved him back in return until the day he died. Nevertheless, Jerry drank, more than was good for his health. Two weeks ago he still looked healthy, but then his liver gave out, his kidneys shut down, and within a few days he died, 68 years old. He began drinking after his divorce, after his livelihood became food for the … Continue reading →
