A big thumbs up to Ed Bartlett, Steve Baskerville, Warren Farrell,
Phyllis Schlafly and all the others here who have worked so hard
fighting feminist hate and abuse of our children.

"Men's Rights" Groups Have Become Frighteningly Effective
They’re changing custody rights and domestic violence laws.

At the end of October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month,
members of the men’s movement group RADAR (Respecting Accuracy in
Domestic Abuse Reporting) gathered on the steps of Congress to lobby
against what they say are the suppressed truths about domestic
violence: that false allegations are rampant, that a feminist-run
court system fraudulently separates innocent fathers from children,
that battered women’s shelters are running a racket that funnels
federal dollars to feminists, that domestic-violence laws give cover
to cagey mail-order brides seeking Green Cards, and finally, that men
are victims of an unrecognized epidemic of violence at the hands of
abusive wives.
“It’s now reached the point,” reads a statement from RADAR, “that
domestic violence laws represent the largest roll-back in Americans’
civil rights since the Jim Crow era!”
RADAR’s rhetoric may seem overblown, but lately the group and its many
partners have been racking up very real accomplishments. In 2008, the
organization claimed to have blocked passage of four federal domestic-
violence bills, among them an expansion of the Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) to international scope and a grant to support lawyers in
pro bono domestic-violence work. Members of this coalition have gotten
themselves onto drafting committees for VAWA’s 2011 reauthorization.
Local groups in West Virginia and California have also had important
successes, criminalizing false claims of domestic violence in custody
cases, and winning rulings that women-only shelters are discriminatory.
