Hi Steven,
You are most welcome. I thank you and Pierce for putting in the time and effort for being leaders in the fight against false-rape and misandry. I will do what I can to send you links to relevant stories.

Here is a disgustingly misandric story that deserves to be covered here. This one should make your blood boil.

There are more links to other articles on this story on the web site.
Thanks again for a great blog which I shall continue to read almost religiously.
I noticed that you gave no mention here about the recent appalling attack on Ken Clarke (here in the UK) for his comments about the varying severity of rapes and corresponding rape sentencing.
Of course, it didn't take long for the feminist absolutists to misrepresent his words as meaning the some rapes aren't at all serious. If you haven't heard about this story, do familiarise yourself with it. Here is the full transcript of the interview:

However, the main reason for my comment here is that I've just read this BRILLIANT article from Iain Macwhirter in the Herald, and I'd thought I'd share it with you. Hopefully this will encourage you all that sanity is indeed still alive and well!
Here it is:

Agreed with the fine folks above; if it weren't for your efforts most of this stuff simply wouldn't be covered. Many thanks for your work.
And Anon @5:10 A.M.:
Yeah, that's a pretty infuriating story. You can bet your rear if the genders were reversed it'd be making headlines.
I lived in Naples until last year and had a friend who lived in the Ft. Myers area and was in the Lee County school system - can't say I'm surprised this happened at Dunbar. Not really an example of excellence, academic or otherwise.
Still, once I saw that the mother was waffling about filing charges I pretty much shrugged my shoulders. Yeah, law enforcement could be encouraging her more but ultimately she's got to have the stones to do what's right for her son. I guarantee if this sort of thing had happened to my brother or me my mother'd have pressed charges against the girls, if she didn't wring their necks first.
Our society isn't the best but we've got to work with(in) it. If you want stuff like this to stop, FILE CHARGES. There have been plenty of recent bullying incidents in Florida - not gender related or sexual, but bullying nonetheless - and this would get quite a bit more attention as a result of that. Everything's on the mother now, though. Hope she does the right thing and files criminal charges along with finding a lawyer to file a civil suit.
Great article by Christina Hoff Sommers in The Chronicle of Higher Education
