Troy Anthony Davis

On Monday, March 17, 2008, the Georgia Supreme Court decided 4-3 to deny a new trial for Troy Anthony Davis, despite significant concerns regarding his innocence.

The F-Word

Sorry gentlemen, but I was battling with my conscience since yesterday wondering whether to put this blog up here. It's a FEMINIST blog called The F-Word, and the topic here is on prostitution. But as a few angry men have put in entries, I've put a link here for any of us to give them some support.

It's a statistical survey that measures how many men thought it "it was unacceptable for a female relative to sell sex, but fine for a male relative to pay for sex". Hypocrites?

Of course, this scenario could have been presented differently. For example, how many people love eating pork chops but would not slaughter a pig? It could have been presented with a scenario unrelated to sex and "gender".

It's another thinly disguised attack on men.
