CJ writes Here is a little good news for men (and women) who like to have a drink now and then. Drinking in moderation appears to reduce heart-related deaths in men with high blood pressure, new research suggests, challenging the belief among many doctors that alcohol should be off-limits to such patients. It is nice to see a contemporary study with a focus on men for a change in the Boston Globe."

Thomas writing now. I've now seen reports on numerous studies indicating that drinking in moderation is good for one's health (typically one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men). Of course, there are always caveats published with the results. Some of the studies have indicated that wine, especially red wine, is best for one's health. Others seem to indicate that it is ethanol that has the health benefits. Every report that I've read warns about excessive consumption and emphasizes that individual circumstances are of critical importance. In any case, it is good to see this study done with such a large sample of men. 14,125. Wow.

Looks like ol' George is following through, and the results may well be magnificent. (I might actually vote for this guy. That's a mind bender, but a different story. Hell, I might even campaign for him.) This FoxNews.com article reports on how the Bush administration is "following through on a promise to make it easier for school districts across the country to operate girls-only and boys-only schools".

Of course, the article goes on and on about females' educational needs and never mentions how boys are lagging far behind girls in school these days. Nevertheless, this is great news. I went to an all-boys high school. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and that was before feminist teacheresses and administratoresses turned schools into bastions of anti-male indoctrination.

It's a lot to say, but I think this education-movement may prove to be one of the most important advances/corrections in American culture in decades.

Sorry. I'm not sure why, but this got posted twice, so I'm deleting the text message here. If you're going to discuss this topic, please do so on the other thread.

Thanks.

Trudy W Schuett writes "I've begun posting another previously-published novel of mine in blog form at The DesertLight Journal here.

This is "Friends to the End", about a male victim of domestic violence. This is a subject that seldom comes to light, due to society's resistance to the idea that a man could actually be a victim.

While it is fiction, I've been told by men who have been in this situation, that it is in fact, quite true to life.

The case also occurred in Rhode Island, the same state where another woman, Stephanie E. Estep, was also charged on the very following day.

Thomas writing now: The second case is discussed on MANN here. And here's a discussion of the hateful, feminist declaration that women don't lie about rape.

Wendy McElroy has published an essay on FoxNews.com (probably read by quite a few people) about the cold reception being given to Naomi Wolf's most recent claim to victimhood. As McElroy points out, "a cultural tide has turned."

It's been my personal experience to find that, here at the hypocenter of the Kobe Bryant tempest, women as well as men are no longer falling for the vile claim that women don't lie about rape. Most of the people with whom I've spoken about the Bryant case, at least those who state their opinion on the matter (and in many cases they're the ones who broach the topic), say they believe he's innocent. And several, including women, have expressed outrage at this nation's plague of false accusations against men.

Hey, Ray. Do you have a T-shirt that states, "Imprison False Accusers"?

It cracks me up that so many feminists still claim that differences between males and females are social constructs and that the world will be far better off once men's artificial masculinity has been properly deconstructed along the lines of feminist doctrine. It's as though mainstream feminists, in the face of a growing torrent of scientific evidence, are hell bent on making laughing stocks of themselves.

Here's yet another piece of evidence debunking that ridiculous feminist myth. With respect to the long "debate about how much sexual behaviour was biological and how much was learned," Dr. Darren Russell, senior lecturer in sexual health at Melbourne University, states, "I think more and more we're moving toward a biological model of sex, that a large part of our sexual behaviour and other behaviours are preordained... A lot of our sexual chemistry and behaviour is probably determined before birth."

I s'pose many fembots will eventually drop their claim that differences between males and females are social constructs and instead state that males and females are fundamentally different and females are, by nature, superior.

NB: Joe Manthey submitted this related essay on the importance of biological differences between males and females.

Ray Blumhorst writes " Supreme Court Ruling on Hearsay Evidence The Oregonian reports on a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, which will help a defendant to face his accuser. The article reports that this will affect domestic violence and abuse cases, and is a victory for our Constitutional law (6th Amendment), which states that a defendant has a right to face his accuser. One can't help but wonder what will happen to the numerous, almost identical, victim advocate reports that are used in alleged abuse cases by victim advocates as they regurgitate the vernacular of the gender feminist domestic violence movement?"
