Gutfeld and his guests weigh in on the draft and the NCFM
On tonight's Greg Gutfeld Show (March 2,2019) the subject of the draft came up with the National Coalition For Men
and their victory in this case. One of the guests Emily Campagno,federal prosecutor and Raiderette cheerleader. Shot down the idea of women being drafted. Host Greg Gutfeld also mocked it. In that case perhaps women shouldn't have civil liberties if they are going to act like arrogant bitches. If women don't want to serve their country then perhaps they should not work outside the home and do as men tell them.
Gutfeld is scared of his wife so that is expected. One of the guests did surprise me in his reaction. That is Tyrus. I thought Tyrus would be sympathetic to the man's rights cause.

Betsy DeVos' meetings with 'men's rights' groups over campus sex assault policies spark controversy
Following a series of meetings Thursday in Washington examining Title IX sexual assault procedures on college campuses, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is reexamining guidance to schools.
In addition to survivors' groups and educational institutions, DeVos met with "men's rights" organizations, including the National Coalition for Men (NCFM), as well as groups that speak out on behalf of the accused, including Families Advocating for Campus Equality (FACE) and Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE).
Though the secretary refused to say whether the administration wants to amend directives to colleges and universities, survivors' advocates worry that DeVos' engagement with these controversial groups -- which opponents have dubbed insensitive to victims -- signals a possible willingness to shift the process to the advantage of alleged perpetrators by rolling back Obama-era guidance directing schools to use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard of proof, rather than the higher "clear and convincing" standard, during Title IX sexual assault violence investigations.
"She's meeting with groups and individuals today who believe that sexual assault is some sort of feminist plot to hurt men," said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, who joined other like-minded individuals gathered outside the Department clamoring to keep the focus on survivors.
Natalie Green, online communications coordinator with women's right group UltraViolet, tells ABC News, "In all honesty, we think she should be listening to the survivors first and foremost, not rape apologists."
And Annie Clark, executive director and co-founder of End Rape on Campus, said, "The evidentiary standard in the criminal justice system is higher, and should be, than on campus because the penalties are different."
Asked about the aforementioned concerns, DeVos told reporters at the Department of Education, "today was a time to listen."
"No student should be the victim of sexual assault," DeVos said. "No student should feel unsafe ... and no students should feel like the scales are tipped against him or her."
According to NCFM, FACE and SAVE, who all fight what they claim are false accusations, accused rapists should be afforded stronger due process by schools investigating allegations of sexual violence. Though difficult to measure, researchers from Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts reported that their findings -- published in the Journal of Violence Against Women -- in conjunction with other studies, "indicate that the prevalence of false allegations is between 2 percent and 10 percent."
The false accusation rate for rape is 60%. The reasons given for this false accusation rate: spite,revenge,even boredom. These are the cases where the accuser deliberately lied. This is from a U.S. Air Force study by Dr. Charles McDowwell. From the book The Myth Of Male Power by Warren Farrell.
"It was clear that their stories are not often told, and there are lives that have been ruined and lives that have been lost in the process," DeVos said of these groups representing people they believe were wrongfully accused.
Jonathon Andrews -- a 23-year-old SAVE and FACE volunteer who says he was falsely accused of rape by "homophobic fraternity brothers" after he himself was sexually assaulted -- says the groups just want to ensure all involved get a fair shake.
"Victims for a long time weren't taken seriously, and President Obama tried to correct that -- but some of us think that he over-corrected, to the point where those who haven't committed any crimes, like myself, are at a risk of losing their futures, losing their lives, and being destroyed, essentially," Andrews told ABC News, bristling at "insulting" critiques of his organization as rape-apologist.
"A system without due process protections ultimately serves no one in the end," DeVos said Thursday during a press conference at the Department of Education. "There are substantive legal questions to be addressed, including the evidentiary standard, due process, and lack of public input."
Her meetings come as the Education Department's civil rights chief, Candice Jackson, was forced to apologize for a controversial comment made to the New York Times in article published Wednesday.
The majority of sexual assault allegations -- "90 percent," according to Jackson -- "fall into the category of 'we were both drunk, we broke up, and six months later I found myself under a Title IX investigation because she just decided that our last sleeping together was not quite right," she told the Times.
She's right. A lot of times that is what these things are. I'm glad someone is seeing the truth and talking about it.
"As a survivor of rape myself, I would never seek to diminish anyone's experience," Jackson clarified in a statement provided to ABC News. "My words in the New York Times poorly characterized the conversations I've had with countless groups of advocates. What I said was flippant, and I am sorry. All sexual harassment and sexual assault must be taken seriously."
DeVos on Thursday declined to answer questions about whether she agreed with Jackson's 90 percent comment.

DOE helps out men
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is using her office to legitimize a misogynist organization that has dedicated itself to defending rapists, attacking female victims of sexual assault, and promoting the conspiracy theory that domestic violence is exaggerated.
Betsy DeVos, Donald Trump’s secretary of education, is scheduled to meet with a group that has made a name for itself by casting doubt on rape cases, questioning the existence of domestic violence, and promoting conspiracy theories about women.
DeVos is meeting with several groups that have been critical of the Title IX guidance on campus rape. Those policies were put in place by the Obama administration to protect woman on college campuses from sexual assault.
Among those meeting with DeVos is the National Coalition for Men. The group is part of the so-called “men’s rights” movement, which exists to promote misogynist ideas and to continually push back on the fight for women’s equality.
The website for the group’s North Carolina chapter offers legal guidance to accused rapists and publishes photographs of women the group claims have falsely accused men of rape. The technique serves as an intimidation tactic toward victims: If you speak up, you will be exposed and attacked.
Daily Tarheel columnist Alice Wilder noted that the group has “a clear animosity toward feminists and anyone who advocates for an end to gender-based violence.”
The National Coalition for Men has been behind tons of nuisance lawsuits alleging sex discrimination toward men, including one that said events attempting to bring more women into the technology industry were “anti-male.”
Attorney Al Rava, who filed the lawsuit and serves as the group’s press secretary, told a reporter working on the story he would not talk to her, saying, “I do not trust you will quote me correctly or in the proper context given your leftwing, pro-female, anti-male bias.”
Harry Crouch, president of National Coalition for Men, defended NFL player Ray Rice after surveillance video captured him dragging his then-fiancée after allegedly knocking her out in an elevator. Crouch said, “If she hadn’t aggravated him, she wouldn’t have been hit.”
In the same conversation, he complained about the NFL’s annual breast cancer awareness campaign.
“Football is always happy to put on pink suits to celebrate women,” he said. “Why can’t they have a week, or just one day, where they celebrate men?”
National Coalition for Men even sued Trump National Golf Course in 2011 for promoting breast cancer awareness, arguing that to do so was discriminatory towards men.
The group also whined that the movie “Sully” discriminated against men, because it did not depict women and children exiting the crashed airplane first, as part of a feminist plot.
Crouch told the L.A. Times that men are “disadvantaged in almost every way.”
DeVos is also meeting with SAVE — Stop Abusive and Violent Environments — which has also sided with domestic abusers. SAVE pushed for lawyers to have the power to ask domestic violence victims “detailed, often intrusive questions about the accuser’s prior sexual history.”
DeVos’ nomination was among the most contentious of Trump’s cabinet selections, largely thanks to her demonstrated ignorance of important education issues. Since squeezing by into office, those concerns have been validated by her open hostility toward LGBTQ students, her support for budget cuts helping disabled students, and now, this sad decision to grant misogynists the official blessing of the federal government.

This is great. A government official meets with MRA's to fix the problem with the messed up Dear Colleague suggestion from the Obama administration and to reestablish men's rights on college and university campuses nationwide. Let's take a moment and thank the Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos for meeting with our fellow Men's Rights Activists in the National Coalition For Men and SAVE Services.

Make the CDC reinstate funding for prostate cancer treatment and research
Apr 21, 2016, 08:40 ET from National Coalition For Men
SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — The Center for Disease Control (CDC) FY-2017 budget request is 11.86 billion dollars, an 87 million dollar increase.
Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160420/358069LOGO
No funds were requested for the existing 13.7 million dollar prostate cancer program even though, as explained in the budget narrative, “the evidence on prostate cancer screening remains unclear.”
Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men. Only lung cancer kills more men than prostate cancer (American Cancer Society).
Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths among white, black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic men; and the fourth cause of cancer deaths for Pacific Islander men (CDC).
Two large Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) trials recently published conflicting results. A European trial (the ERSPC) found a clear and significant reduction in mortality, but a US trial (the PLCO) found little benefit and even some harm.
PSAs reportedly have a high incidence of false alarms, but they produce accurate results as well. Either way, the results can be devastating for those tested.
“Given the uncertainty and conflicting data, it seems much more research, not less, is needed. The defunded program was an essential element of fighting prostate cancer, a cancer that robs the mental health, physical wellbeing, and lives of thousands of men every year, as well as the horrific impact on their families,” said Harry Crouch, President of NCFM.
NCFM asks for your support by calling your Congressional representatives and asking them to restore CDC funding for the Prostate Cancer program.

Vladek Filler stood up to persecution and won
NCFM Heroes, Vladek Filler and Tatyana Roberts, extraordinary people
May 24, 2015
By NCFM
vladek fillerHeroes are hard to find. Vladek Filler and his sister Tatyana are two of them. They believe, that here, in the United States of America, the word “justice” means something, and they risked everything to prove it. Their epic journey also shows “innocent until proven guilty “is a sham.
Roughly, eight years ago, Ligia Filler, Vladek’s unhinged mother of their two children, feared losing custody of their children. To gain advantage in their divorce case, she began making unsupported allegations of child abuse, sexual molestation, even spousal rape.
Nevertheless, there were sustainable reports Ligia abused the children, threatened to harm Vladek, and even threatened to murder police officers. One incident report revealed, “Ms. Filler chanted about ‘cutting up’ the defendant [Vladek] while laughing and crying hysterically, swearing and kicking a door.”
Child welfare workers conducted and extensive investigation. Accordingly, not only did Vladek gain custody of their two sons, they were allowed to move to Atlanta where all three now live. The family court judge said,
“[Ligia Filler] accused Mr. Filler of molesting the children. That allegation was false and known to be false. She has shown a capacity to manufacture claims…”
Hancock County Assistant District Mary Kellett knew of Ligia’s disreputable reputation, Vladek gaining custody of the children, and even the Family Court Judge’s finding that Ligia lied and made false claims. Yet Kellett, seemingly obsessed with Vladek’s’ downfall, mercilessly pursued him.
Since then, and through several trials, Kellett suppressed evidence that supported Vladek’s claims, and misrepresented and fabricated information against him. In one trial, Kellett convinced the court to disallow Vladek an opportunity to discredit Ligia or introduce information about their contentious divorce, key aspects of Vladek’s defense. Kellett then told the uninformed jury there was no evidence to prove a contentious divorce existed! She, like Ligia, blatantly lied. Everyone involved knew it except the jurors, including the judge and Vladek’s flabbergasted attorney who immediately moved for a mistrial.
Moreover, “During her initial closing argument, ADA Kellett told the jury, ‘there has been no evidence presented to you as the jury that would suggest that a sexual act hadn’t occurred…’” In the absence of evidence, Kellett attempted to shift the burden of proof to Vladek. Such behavior and disregard for evidence, law, constitutional protections and fundamental fairness, stem from a societal shift from rights of the accused to victim rights; plus, feminist judicial re-engineering, which promotes the idea that allegations by women trump factual evidence to the contrary.
Vladek Filler
Except, Vladek and Tatyana forgot to give up…
Kellett was but one of four female attorneys wielding feminist jurisprudence like a bloody man-hating sword, who in concert perverted Vladek’s innocence and the evenhanded administration of law, including a Maine Supreme Court Justice.
Vladek, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAFE) and the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) filed complaints against Kellett with the State Board of Overseers. A Voice For Men and other groups later joined the fight to free Vladek and jail Kellett.
The Board of Overseers found Kellett responsible for gross misconduct and recommended suspension from the practice of law. Trial was by Maine Supreme Judicial Court Justice Ellen Gorman. The Maine Attorney General’s Office under Attorney General Janet Mills (Co-founder of Maine’s Women’s Lobby) represented Kellett. The Assistant Attorney General representing Kellett and Counsel for the Bar agreed that Kellett would admit to violating bar rules thereby negating a full-blown public hearing.
Kellett apologized, “I want to acknowledge that I made errors in the prosecution of the Filler case. I regret the harm that my errors caused.” Justice Gorman suspended her for 30 days, and then suspended the suspension.
Inexplicably, absent any explanation, Justice Gorman found that Kellett “did not intentionally attempt to violate Bar Rules or Vladek’s rights.” Yet, Justice Gorman’s findings clearly show an opposite fact pattern. Kellett’s “mistakes” had to be deliberate. Either that, or ten-year prosecutor Kellett was incompetent and married to idea that all woman alleging sexual assault, no matter how crazy and unreliable, are the victim, even if it means sending innocent men, the true victims, to prison. It appears Justice Gorman gave Kellett another get out of jail free card to help protect her Bar card; and, perhaps, to shut the lid on an overflow of judicial dirty laundry. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pf0nZRn3B8)
That same video reports an involved attorney saying, “it’s the first mistake she’s [Kellett] made in a career prosecuting more than 10,000 criminal cases. The same, or another attorney, which is not clear, said, “[D]uring the ten-plus years that she’s worked as a prosecutor she’s been a faithful and dedicated public servant.” Nonetheless, a random sampling of Kellett’s 10,000 cases will show more “mistakes” [sic]. In fact, enough reason exists to believe such mistakes may show a pattern of inexcusable prosecutorial misconduct resulting in wrongful convictions and the destruction of more innocent men. If making such “mistakes” is what makes a faithful and dedicated public servant, we need a serious rewrite of the job description…
Throughout Vladek’s persecution, District Attorney Carletta M. Bassano, did nothing to prevent Kellett’s pummeling of Vladek, in fact, she had to have insisted on it. Vladek’s ordeal revealed Bassano’s office swept up a dozen of so other men whose situations were similar to Vladek’s, which could only happen under the watchful eyes of boss Bassano. Even after Kellett’s suspended suspension, Bassano’s office continued Vladek’s persecution eking out a misdemeanor conviction.
Vladek appealed. Superior Court Justice Robert Murray, also the presiding judge at Filler’s second trial, vacated the conviction thereby clearing Vladek of all charges, including those he suffered before the misdemeanor conviction. Consequently, Vladek has no criminal record, as it was before Kellett and Bassano.
He won! Vladek caused the first trial of a corrupt Assistant District Attorney in Maine and took feminist jurisprudence to the woodshed for some serious schooling. He even brought down DA Bassano who chose not to run for reelection. Vladek successfully used the law to reveal the truth, serve up justice and change how a criminal justice system did business. Incredible.
To our knowledge, Kellett never missed a day’s pay from the day the Board of Overseers recommended suspension to the day Justice Gorman mocked her own court by suspending Kellett’s suspension. Kellett went unpunished and is reportedly now in private practice.
Year after year local media stories painted Vladek a serial abusing monster. Even video tapes of Vladek’s ex-wife raging at police and making murder threats did not cause the press to question the validity of her allegations, one irrational episode after another made good press, but bad reporting.
On May 15, 2015, Bill Trotter, Reporter for the Bangor Daily News, wrote a summary article, “Assault conviction vacated for former Maine man acquitted of raping wife.” Instead, why not something like, “Vladek Filler free after Hancock District Attorney’s office ten-year campaign of horrific persecution over false accusation of deranged wife;” which puts the guilt where it belongs, on the prosecutor and false accuser. Unfortunately, the press pretty much parrots the all-men-bad and all-women-good ideological drivel, which was glaringly obvious during Vladek’s persecution, and implied in Trotter’s title above, “man acquitted of raping…”
Trotter wrote, “But his legal battles are not over. Filler, 45, is suing more than a dozen people in federal court over the matter, most of whom are prosecutors or police officers who were directly or indirectly involved in the criminal case against him.” It will be hard for Trotter and other reporters not to report on those cases, except perhaps if they favor Vladek.
Vladek’s epic journey is no less arduous than the millions of immigrants who risk life and limb coming to America for freedom, opportunity, and above all perhaps, justice. His story is the story of determination, a commitment — a demand — that prosecutorial tyranny, surrender to the honest administration of the criminal justice process and fundamental constitutional protections.
Elitist feminist driven judicial tyranny intentionally destroys tens of thousands of American males every year, most of whom lack the strength, support, resources, and determination to survive the system. Gaining significant control of the judicial system was a huge victory for elitist feminism and a tragic loss for humankind.
Vladek and Tatyana rose above it, battered, bruised, and victorious, true heroes they will forever stand. Unfortunately, their saga firmly establishes guilty until proven innocent applies. Kellett, Ligia and maybe even Bassano belong in prison, and might be if they had penises. We trust Vladek’s federal lawsuit will be the ruination of the true bad actors.
NCFM played a small part in this saga, through which, I became privileged to befriend some of the best people on the planet.

As did the Men's Rights Blog. We too have been on this since beginning and we've seen a lot of courage from Vladek Filler and Tatyana Roberts endured a hell that lasted for years. The prosecutors office is a powerful one. One that must be used only for genuine criminal cases. When it is perverted for political or personal gain it is a tool of persecution and oppression. Kellet escapes justice but perhaps poetic justice will visit Kellet real soon. Vladek Filler has demonstrated that you don't have to sit back and accept oppression. That you can fight back and for that we congratulated him.

Child welfare workers conducted and extensive investigation. Accordingly, not only did Vladek gain custody of their two sons, they were allowed to move to Atlanta where all three now live. The family court judge said,
“[Ligia Filler] accused Mr. Filler of molesting the children. That allegation was false and known to be false. She has shown a capacity to manufacture claims…”
Hancock County Assistant District Mary Kellett knew of Ligia’s disreputable reputation, Vladek gaining custody of the children, and even the Family Court Judge’s finding that Ligia lied and made false claims. Yet Kellett, seemingly obsessed with Vladek’s’ downfall, mercilessly pursued him.
Since then, and through several trials, Kellett suppressed evidence that supported Vladek’s claims, and misrepresented and fabricated information against him. In one trial, Kellett convinced the court to disallow Vladek an opportunity to discredit Ligia or introduce information about their contentious divorce, key aspects of Vladek’s defense. Kellett then told the uninformed jury there was no evidence to prove a contentious divorce existed! She, like Ligia, blatantly lied. Everyone involved knew it except the jurors, including the judge and Vladek’s flabbergasted attorney who immediately moved for a mistrial.
Moreover, “During her initial closing argument, ADA Kellett told the jury, ‘there has been no evidence presented to you as the jury that would suggest that a sexual act hadn’t occurred…’” In the absence of evidence, Kellett attempted to shift the burden of proof to Vladek. Such behavior and disregard for evidence, law, constitutional protections and fundamental fairness, stem from a societal shift from rights of the accused to victim rights; plus, feminist judicial re-engineering, which promotes the idea that allegations by women trump factual evidence to the contrary.
Vladek Filler
Except, Vladek and Tatyana forgot to give up…
Kellett was but one of four female attorneys wielding feminist jurisprudence like a bloody man-hating sword, who in concert perverted Vladek’s innocence and the evenhanded administration of law, including a Maine Supreme Court Justice.
Vladek, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAFE) and the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) filed complaints against Kellett with the State Board of Overseers. A Voice For Men and other groups later joined the fight to free Vladek and jail Kellett.
The Board of Overseers found Kellett responsible for gross misconduct and recommended suspension from the practice of law. Trial was by Maine Supreme Judicial Court Justice Ellen Gorman. The Maine Attorney General’s Office under Attorney General Janet Mills (Co-founder of Maine’s Women’s Lobby) represented Kellett. The Assistant Attorney General representing Kellett and Counsel for the Bar agreed that Kellett would admit to violating bar rules thereby negating a full-blown public hearing.
Kellett apologized, “I want to acknowledge that I made errors in the prosecution of the Filler case. I regret the harm that my errors caused.” Justice Gorman suspended her for 30 days, and then suspended the suspension.
Inexplicably, absent any explanation, Justice Gorman found that Kellett “did not intentionally attempt to violate Bar Rules or Vladek’s rights.” Yet, Justice Gorman’s findings clearly show an opposite fact pattern. Kellett’s “mistakes” had to be deliberate. Either that, or ten-year prosecutor Kellett was incompetent and married to idea that all woman alleging sexual assault, no matter how crazy and unreliable, are the victim, even if it means sending innocent men, the true victims, to prison. It appears Justice Gorman gave Kellett another get out of jail free card to help protect her Bar card; and, perhaps, to shut the lid on an overflow of judicial dirty laundry. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pf0nZRn3B8)
That same video reports an involved attorney saying, “it’s the first mistake she’s [Kellett] made in a career prosecuting more than 10,000 criminal cases. The same, or another attorney, which is not clear, said, “[D]uring the ten-plus years that she’s worked as a prosecutor she’s been a faithful and dedicated public servant.” Nonetheless, a random sampling of Kellett’s 10,000 cases will show more “mistakes” [sic]. In fact, enough reason exists to believe such mistakes may show a pattern of inexcusable prosecutorial misconduct resulting in wrongful convictions and the destruction of more innocent men. If making such “mistakes” is what makes a faithful and dedicated public servant, we need a serious rewrite of the job description…
Throughout Vladek’s persecution, District Attorney Carletta M. Bassano, did nothing to prevent Kellett’s pummeling of Vladek, in fact, she had to have insisted on it. Vladek’s ordeal revealed Bassano’s office swept up a dozen of so other men whose situations were similar to Vladek’s, which could only happen under the watchful eyes of boss Bassano. Even after Kellett’s suspended suspension, Bassano’s office continued Vladek’s persecution eking out a misdemeanor conviction.
Vladek appealed. Superior Court Justice Robert Murray, also the presiding judge at Filler’s second trial, vacated the conviction thereby clearing Vladek of all charges, including those he suffered before the misdemeanor conviction. Consequently, Vladek has no criminal record, as it was before Kellett and Bassano.
He won! Vladek caused the first trial of a corrupt Assistant District Attorney in Maine and took feminist jurisprudence to the woodshed for some serious schooling. He even brought down DA Bassano who chose not to run for reelection. Vladek successfully used the law to reveal the truth, serve up justice and change how a criminal justice system did business. Incredible.
To our knowledge, Kellett never missed a day’s pay from the day the Board of Overseers recommended suspension to the day Justice Gorman mocked her own court by suspending Kellett’s suspension. Kellett went unpunished and is reportedly now in private practice.
Year after year local media stories painted Vladek a serial abusing monster. Even video tapes of Vladek’s ex-wife raging at police and making murder threats did not cause the press to question the validity of her allegations, one irrational episode after another made good press, but bad reporting.
On May 15, 2015, Bill Trotter, Reporter for the Bangor Daily News, wrote a summary article, “Assault conviction vacated for former Maine man acquitted of raping wife.” Instead, why not something like, “Vladek Filler free after Hancock District Attorney’s office ten-year campaign of horrific persecution over false accusation of deranged wife;” which puts the guilt where it belongs, on the prosecutor and false accuser. Unfortunately, the press pretty much parrots the all-men-bad and all-women-good ideological drivel, which was glaringly obvious during Vladek’s persecution, and implied in Trotter’s title above, “man acquitted of raping…”
Trotter wrote, “But his legal battles are not over. Filler, 45, is suing more than a dozen people in federal court over the matter, most of whom are prosecutors or police officers who were directly or indirectly involved in the criminal case against him.” It will be hard for Trotter and other reporters not to report on those cases, except perhaps if they favor Vladek.
Vladek’s epic journey is no less arduous than the millions of immigrants who risk life and limb coming to America for freedom, opportunity, and above all perhaps, justice. His story is the story of determination, a commitment — a demand — that prosecutorial tyranny, surrender to the honest administration of the criminal justice process and fundamental constitutional protections.
Elitist feminist driven judicial tyranny intentionally destroys tens of thousands of American males every year, most of whom lack the strength, support, resources, and determination to survive the system. Gaining significant control of the judicial system was a huge victory for elitist feminism and a tragic loss for humankind.
Vladek and Tatyana rose above it, battered, bruised, and victorious, true heroes they will forever stand. Unfortunately, their saga firmly establishes guilty until proven innocent applies. Kellett, Ligia and maybe even Bassano belong in prison, and might be if they had penises. We trust Vladek’s federal lawsuit will be the ruination of the true bad actors.
NCFM played a small part in this saga, through which, I became privileged to befriend some of the best people on the planet.

As did the Men's Rights Blog. We too have been on this since beginning and we've seen a lot of courage from Vladek Filler and Tatyana Roberts endured a hell that lasted for years. The prosecutors office is a powerful one. One that must be used only for genuine criminal cases. When it is perverted for political or personal gain it is a tool of persecution and oppression. Kellet escapes justice but perhaps poetic justice will visit Kellet real soon. Vladek Filler has demonstrated that you don't have to sit back and accept oppression. That you can fight back and for that we congratulated him.

Lobby the Governor to veto SB 967
Let's join with the National Coalition For Men in urging California Governor Jerry Brown to to veto SB 967. This is the Hail Mary for us on this one. If we fail a lot of men on university and college campuses are in for a royal screw job. If that happens it will be lawsuits galore and let's see if SB 967's supporters are going to grandstand on that one.

Glendale offers self defense classes to men
NCFM letter causes City of Glendale to offer free self-defense class to both men and women
June 5, 2014
By NCFM
self-defense classNCFM NOTE: Sometimes change through advocacy is a simple as a letter, like the one we sent to the City of Glendale about their free self-defense classes only for women. This is not the first time NCFM has been able to cause change, significant change we might add, with just a well written letter. For one of many examples, such a letter caused NIPPON Airlines to reconsider women only restrooms on international flights, and the PGA from having a “Women’s Day” at a major event. That letter also prevented the featured speaker from violating a host of laws. The speaker was just reelected Bonnie Dumanis, District Attorney for San Diego. These are not small victories. Each one brought with it media interest, which in turn helps us raise awareness of such inequalities. Consider, what if the city of Glendale decided to have free self-defense classes for “Whites Only?” Our guess is every Glendale elected official and employee involved in the event would be looking for other work. So, why isn’t it that way when such people turn a blind eye on half our population, e.g., men. Crazy stuff isn’t it?
Glendale male-only self-defense class scheduled
Session results from complaint of group calling for end to gender discrimination.
By Brittany Levine, brittany.levine@latimes.comJune 4, 2014 | 7:32 p.m.
Following a complaint that free self-defense classes exclusively for women and girls sponsored by a city commission violate equal-protection clauses of the Constitution, city officials have scheduled a class for men and boys for later this month, in addition to two new training sessions for females.
While the Glendale city attorney reviewed the complaint letter sent by the National Coalition for Men in March, the Commission on the Status of Women cancelled its two self-defense classes for females in April, which is also when the city celebrates “Sexual Harassment Awareness Month.”
The majority of the City Council voted reluctantly to add male-only classes at the city’s expense that month, with one calling the coalition a joke after the city attorney recommended they host the alternative training to minimize legal risk.
Reached by phone on Wednesday, Harry Crouch, president of the San Diego-based nonprofit coalition, said his group was glad the city scheduled a self-defense class for men and boys.
“We’re very pleased that the city of Glendale decided to provide the same opportunities and services to men as they would women and girls,” Crouch said.
The goal of the classes is to provide training that may help participants avoid sexual assaults and fight perpetrators if they are ever attacked. Crouch added earlier that men are also prone to violent attacks and could benefit from free self-defense classes.
Mayor Zareh Sinanyan suggested in April that the male-only class should incorporate conversations about bullying.
The two female classes, which cost $400, are to be paid for with funds raised by the Commission on the Status of Women. The cost of the men’s class will come out of the city’s General Fund, which pays for police, parks and other general services.
The two female-only classes are scheduled from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday in the Glendale Police Department’s large community room, 131 N. Isabel St., and 6:30 to 9 p.m. on June 25 in Glendale Community College’s Student Center Conference Room, SC212, 1500 N. Verdugo Road.
The male-only class is slated to take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on June 18 in the Glendale Police Department’s large community room.
Participants must be 12 years old or older. Reservations are required. To hold a spot or for more information, call (818) 548-2000 or email women@glendaleca.gov.

National Coalition For Men sues the City of Glendale
A men’s rights group is accusing a California city of violating civil rights laws because the city is offering free self-defense classes that are only open to women and girls.
The Glendale News-Press reported Thursday that Harry M. Crouch, the president of the National Coalition of Men, sent a letter to the city of Glendale, the city’s Commission on the Status of Women and the company leading the classes demanding men and boys be allowed to attend the classes as well.
Crouch writes that by offering the classes to only women the parties involved are violating the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
“It is especially troubling that the City, its Commission on the Status of Women, and Shield Self Defense would deny men and boys access to their self-defense classes in April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month,” Crouch said. “Why the City, its Commission on the Status of Women, and Shield Self Defense do not want men and boys to be just as prepared as women and girls to defend themselves against sexual assault is outrageous.”
The Glendale News-Press reports that the Commission on the Status of Women has been holding the classes for years on city property in April to recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The classes are paid for through fundraising.
Crouch told the paper this is the first year his organization has complained because it just became aware of the classes.
"It always astounds me that some of our governmental agencies who are charged with protecting us from violations of law simply acquiesce to things like this," he said.
City officials told the paper they are in the process of researching the matter, and that federal law could possibly permit women’s only self-defense classes. The officials said they are now investigating state law on the issue, and may consider reviewing the class structure if necessary.

Go NCFM. Win that lawsuit. This is definitely a Constitutional issue. Denying men the right to defend themselves is discriminatory and a lawsuit is richly deserved.

NCFM sues over anti-male bias in selective service requirements
NCFM SUES SELECTIVE SERVICE FOR REQUIRING ONLY MEN TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT
April 4, 2013

NATIONAL COALITION FOR MEN SUES SELECTIVE SERVICE FOR REQUIRING ONLY MEN TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT
Lawsuit Asserts Department of Defense’s Recent Repeal of Ban on Women in Combat Removes Lone Legal Obstacle for Requiring Women to Register for Draft
Los Angeles (4/4/13) – The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) is a non-profit educational organization that advocates for equal rights for men and women.
NCFM has filed a lawsuit that challenges the legality of requiring only males to register for the military draft. The lawsuit was filed against the U.S. Selective Service System in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on April 4, 2013, Case Number 2:13-cv-02391-DSF-MAN .
The 1981 U.S. Supreme Court equal protection case of Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. 57 (1981) held that men and women were not similarly situated in the U.S. military because women were excluded from combat, therefore women did not have to register for the draft. Dissenting Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote, “The Court today places its imprimatur on one of the most potent remaining public expressions of ‘ancient canards about the proper role of women’.”
In January, U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced that women will be allowed to enter all combat positions in all branches of the U.S. military, thereby removing the sole legal basis for requiring only males to register for the draft.
NCFM’s complaint alleges that because men and women are now similarly situated in the military, Selective Service’s requirement that only males must register for the draft violates the rights of both men and women to equal treatment under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, and under United States Code, Title 28, Section 1983.
Plaintiffs seek injunctive and declaratory relief, calling for the Selective Service to stop discriminating against men and women by requiring both men and women to register for the draft, or by requiring neither to register for the draft.
Men failing to register for the draft can be fined up to $250,000, sentenced to up to five years in prison, and denied eligibility for federal and state benefits including jobs, financial aid, citizenship, loans, and job training. Only men now face these harsh penalties.
NCFM calls on the Obama Administration and Congress to end the institutional sex discrimination that requires only men to register for the draft. The ancient canard is gone, because women are now eligible for combat roles in all branches of the U.S. military. There is no longer any legal justification for continuing the unequal treatment of our draft age population based solely on their gender. The Selective Service System should treat men and women equally, including imposing penalties against both men and women for failing to register.

The NCFM starts a Montana State University chapter
Congratulations to the National Coalition For Men for starting their Montana State University chapter. It is good to see that the MRA cause is coming to college and university campuses where it is so badly needed to counteract the feminist garbage that has been heaped upon the men of colleges and universities nationwide. Hopefully there will be more to follow. Things are looking up.

Join with the NCFM to oppose VAWA
From the National Coalition For Men:
The “War on Women” essentially is a power and control grab and guilt trip diversion by the National Organization of Women (NOW) cartel. No one is waging war on women. However, it is impossible to rationally conclude that political forces are not waging “War on Men.”
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is center stage to the War Against Men. NCFM Advisor Phil Cook and I over a decade ago discussed what I call the Women Industry Wheel (WIW), though it might be more aptly called the Women Industry War Wagon Wheel (WIWWW).
Phil thought VAWA was the hub of the wheel while I still think VAWA is the grease that keeps it turning. The hub, in my opinion, is radical feminism’s “politically correct” influence and resulting control of our educational system, especially in higher education. Looking at things rationally, Women Studies, female oriented graduate schools, misuse of Title IX, and so forth, though such influences are broader and more debilitating mechanisms of social control and cultural revision.
Every American and millions of others around the world have been impacted by VAWA directly or indirectly. If you think not, then take a few minutes to think about that which you take for granted regarding relationship violence, that which you have been taught to believe as true. Think about it in the context of those you care about, know, or have heard about, who have been involved in a situation involving family violence. It is precisely that reason – every American and more being impacted – that pressures applied by a group of independent men, women, and family organizations finally were able to apply the brakes to slow VAWA down long enough to check the grease.
For the first time in the history the reauthorization of VAWA is stalled in Congress.
As I type, Congress is in the final throes of the current session and headed for holiday recess. Washington wants to go home. It’s rumored that secret negotiations are taking place; specifically it is rumored that Vice-President Biden – father of VAWA – is putting the bum’s rush on House members to pass the reauthorization before the recess. Hence the letter above to Congress.
Hopefully the letter will remind our all Senators and Representatives that everyone bleeds, everyone needs services, and everyone needs protection from violence, even violence committed by women.
There is no more absurd legislation than VAWA. As Dr. Finley says in the letter above;
“…the ideological foundations of VAWA discriminate against men. Conceptually, VAWA is based on the Duluth Power and Control Wheel model, which falsely presumes that all domestic violence is perpetrated by evil patriarchal males against virtuously innocent females. There is no research support for this false gender ideology.”
If you took the time as I suggested above to think about what you think you know about VAWA and relationship violence, including those you know or may know of who have been impacted by it, know this too… The Duluth Power and Control Wheel and associated programs condemn the use of guilt, power, and control. Exactly the same concepts used today by NOW and their cartel to continue to wage their war on men. The identical power and control tactics are used by VAWA supporters to bully Senators and Representatives into compliance.
Such bullying mocks claims of evil patriarchal males and virtuous innocent females, but yields insight into the darker power and control psyches of radical feminism. They have to keep the wheels of the War on Men wagon freshly greased at any and all costs.
VAWA is a farce of incredibly dangerous proportions in its present form. Let us hope that our elected officials are not bullied into reauthorizing VAWA this session, especially if it continues to discriminate against half our population. Better to wait until the next session when more considered and well reasoned negotiations might result in a non discriminatory version of VAWA, a version that protects all of us.
Please call your elected officials and demand it.
It could happen.
President

Conceptually, VAWA is based on the Duluth Power and Control Wheel model, which falsely presumes that all domestic violence is perpetrated by evil patriarchal males against virtuously innocent females. There is no research support for this false gender ideology.”
If you took the time as I suggested above to think about what you think you know about VAWA and relationship violence, including those you know or may know of who have been impacted by it, know this too… The Duluth Power and Control Wheel and associated programs condemn the use of guilt, power, and control. Exactly the same concepts used today by NOW and their cartel to continue to wage their war on men. The identical power and control tactics are used by VAWA supporters to bully Senators and Representatives into compliance.
Such bullying mocks claims of evil patriarchal males and virtuous innocent females, but yields insight into the darker power and control psyches of radical feminism. They have to keep the wheels of the War on Men wagon freshly greased at any and all costs.
VAWA is a farce of incredibly dangerous proportions in its present form. Let us hope that our elected officials are not bullied into reauthorizing VAWA this session, especially if it continues to discriminate against half our population. Better to wait until the next session when more considered and well reasoned negotiations might result in a non discriminatory version of VAWA, a version that protects all of us.
Please call your elected officials and demand it.
It could happen.

Stop the sexism in the affordable health care act
From Howard Goldman,National Coalition of Men:
Now that men and women pay equally for healthcare, shouldn't men receive equal coverage when it comes to fully covered services? Shouldn't there finally be a government health office dealing with men's health? Men and women should sign this petition no matter if they agree with the Affordable Care Act or not. The Act is sexist and needs to be made unbiased should it remain in existence in its present state. (Since Change.org seems to have cropped my original top photo to remove all resemblence of what it was supposed to portray, the chart shows govt. funding for cancer by gender (millions of $) 2009. The first bar graph is for the National Institute of Health and the second bar graph is the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).)
On August 1, 2012 many more health care services became available to women without co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses. While this can be seen as a victory for women's health, there are many services that affect men in equal or similar ways that still require men to be able to afford those cost-sharing requirements. Why should all women receive these services (such as well-care visits) "free" while men still will be denied those services if they can not afford to pay for them? The Affordable Care Act will undoubtedly expand the gender life-expectancy gap even further due to men being denied these well-care visits. Black and Hispanic males will be hit hardest as studies have shown them to be less likely to afford those out-of-pocket expenses.
These are our fathers, our brothers and our sons that perhaps will be forced to go without those well-care visits to determine important screenings and services. It's great to have our mothers, sisters and daughters to not have to be concerned with financial obligations to receive those services. This act should not force some men to be denied those preventive care services just because of financial inability. It's time to rectify the imbalance and make this bill adhere to gender equality.
A look at what preventive services are deemed sexist can be found in the US Dept. of Health and Human Services list of such services and to whom they apply: http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2010/07/preventive-services-list.html#CoveredPreventiveServicesforAdults We ask President Obama to correct the following biased aspects of the Affordable Care Act:
FACT#1
WOMEN ARE PROVIDED WELL-CARE VISITS WITHOUT DEDUCTIBLES, CO-PAYS OR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE SERVICES. MEN WILL BE DENIED THESE WELL-CARE VISITS UNLESS THEY CAN COME UP WITH THE REQUIRED EXTRA FUNDS. This will mean that many men will not go for well-care visits due to lack of affordability. This will lead to many men not being diagnosed until a disease has become more expensive to treat or until it is too late for treatment altogether. This will cost lives and add to the already burdensome cost of The Affordable Care Act.
FACT#2
BREAST CANCER SCREENINGS ARE FULLY COVERED WITHOUT DEDUCTIBLES, CO-PAYS OR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS. PROSTATE CANCER SCREENINGS REQUIRE MEN TO FIND A WAY TO PAY THOSE EXTRA COSTS OR BE DENIED PREVENTIVE CARE. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men and kills roughly 28,000 annually. Breast cancer affects 1 in 9 women and kills roughly 39,000 annually. Should this Act continue, no one should be turned away from these preventive cancer screenings.
FACT#3
ALL FDA APPROVED CONTRACEPTIVES AND STERILIZATION PROCEDURES ARE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO WOMEN WITH NO OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS, DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYS. MEN WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS, DEDUCTIBLES OR CO-PAYS. This means a tubal ligation would be at no cost to women, but vasectomies would require co-pays or deductibles, perhaps rather hefty ones at that. Why should men have to pay if they choose not to bring a child into this world, but a woman does not?
FACT#4
ALL SEXUALLY ACTIVE WOMEN CAN BE SCREENED FOR HIV WITHOUT OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS, DEDUCTIBLES, OR CO-PAYS BUT ONLY HIGH RISK MEN CAN BE SCREENED WITHOUT THOSE COSTS. Why should sexually active men that wish to be tested for HIV be turned away if they can't afford it? This will cause more men to go without life-extending or life-saving treatments. This will also cause more women to be infected by partners who may not know they have HIV and weren't able to be tested due to financial constraints. This will affect black men and women most as they have the highest rates of HIV. High risk women over 30 also can receive DNA screenings for HPV at no extra cost, but high risk men would have to pay. Shouldn't high risk men also be tested so that they know they are carriers and can further prevent spread to others? The same can be said for Gonorrhea as high risk women screenings are covered in full while high risk men are not.
FACT#5
ALL WOMEN WILL BE SCREENED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITHOUT DEDUCTIBLES, CO-PAYS OR OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS. DESPITE MEN BEING VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (DV) AT EQUAL RATES AS WOMEN, MEN ARE DENIED NO-COST SCREENINGS. Men make up 53% of the victims of physical violence in interpersonal relationships and 42% of the victims of the most severe domestic violence. This is blatant discrimination and needs to be rectified. The same CDC study the White House cites in their memos about DV proves the above figures: (Tables 4.1 and 4.2 (12 month figures) and tables 4.7 and 4.8). Men also make up the majority of psychological victims of DV (Tables 4.9 and 4.10). To ignore male victims of DV is sheer discrimination by our government. Due to embarrassment and risk of arrest, men are more inclined to not report DV and, thus, having medical personnel screen them may be the best way to help those victims.
(http://www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/pdf/NISVS_Report2010-a.pdf)
FACT#6
COUNSELING- SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS PREVENTION COUNSELING IS FULLY COVERED FOR ALL SEXUALLY ACTIVE WOMEN BUT ONLY FOR HIGH RISK MEN. Wouldn't both men and women be safer from spreading stds if ALL sexually active people are counseled without having it be restricted to those men that can financially afford it? Fully covered HIV counseling is also only offered to women. Shouldn't men also be able to access counseling about this dreaded illness without financial constraints if women are?
FACT#7
THERE ARE NO FEDERAL HEALTH OFFICES DEALING WITH MALE-SPECIFIC HEALTH ISSUES. NONE FORTHCOMING EITHER. NONE. THERE ARE MANY WOMEN'S HEALTH OFFICES AND AGENCIES AND MANY MORE TO BE FORMED IN THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. Please have one of the agencies that are to be formed in the Affordable Care Act devoted to Men's Health. It is long, long overdue. This is one reason for miniscule funding for men's health compared to women's health in the federal government. (See petition photo showing recent funding for women's cancer and men's cancer.) No one is asking for 50/50, but how about at least one for now?
The Act has 134 references to women's health but just 2 for men's health and those are just in passing. The Act has a separate chapter for women's health, but none for men's health. The Act has an entire section devoted to breast cancer. No other cancer, including prostate cancer, has this. Prostate cancer is never even mentioned. It's time for the government to stop ignoring men's health issues.

Daily Caller finds castration to be funny
NCFM member starts petition re “Angry ex-girlfriend goes ballistic, rips off man’s scrotum”
April 10, 2012
By NCFM
After readign this ball busting article please consider signing the petition below:
Talk about a ball buster.
An Indiana man was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after his scrotum was the victim of a vicious attack by an ex-girlfriend, The Smoking Gun reports.
The victim told police that his former girlfriend, Christina Reber, stormed into his apartment as he was innocently sitting at his computer. Reber, with whom he had severed ties a few days earlier, first struck him on the head and then grabbed his scrotum and began “squeezing as hard as she could.” Naturally, he told officers that he “was in incredible pain when [she] grabbed his scrotum and began digging in her fingers.”
The police report indicates that the scrotum area was “completely torn loose from his body.” Reber reportedly “refused to let go of his scrotum,” but the victim was finally able to remove his balls from her vice-like grip.
As if the story isn’t already good enough, the victim, who has not been identified, was taken to BALL MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. As far as we know, the hospital is not only for scrotum-specific injuries…
Click here to read the rest of the article.
Then see the video Ex-Girlfriend Busted For Brutal Scrotum Attack
NCFM NOTE: So, why wasn’t she charged with felony domestic violence? Answer that, please… Notice how flippantly this horrific situation is treated. Humorous? Did you laugh or chuckle? Would you have laughed or chuckled if, let’s say, the story was about a man who invaded his ex-girlfriends house, attacked him, hit him over the head, then mutilated her vagina? Do you think maybe, just maybe, he would have been charged with felongy domestic violence?
The petition:
Why This Is Important
Taylor Bigler, Entertainment Editor of The Daily Caller has written an article about the sexual mutilation and abuse of a man at the hands of his ex-girlfriend. In writing this article, Ms. Bigler somehow found this man’s horrific injuries which may have caused permanent damage and the crime committed against him by his ex-girlfriend to be a humorous and positive event. If the genders were reversed and a man ripped the breast from a woman’s body, would Ms. Bigler have made comments such as “As if this story isn’t already good enough….” Good enough? So Ms. Bigler finds some good out of this poor man’s sexual mutilation. Daily Caller article
We ask that Taylor Bigler resign from The Daily Caller or be fired by them. Nothing short of Ms. Bigler’s resignation or firing will suffice.
I guess as Entertainment Editor, Ms. Bigler finds this type of abuse entertaining and humorous. This incident’s reporting is no place for jokes, puns and other light-hearted comments. This is a severe domestic violence incident. We who sign this petition are tired of the media making light of domestic violence when the perpetrator is a woman and the victim is a man. First we see The Talk call the drugging, tying up and cutting off of a man’s penis by his ex as “fabulous” and now we hear Ms. Bigler call the removal of a man’s scrotum as “good”. ” As if this story isn’t already good enough….”? The only thing good enough for Ms. Bigler is her removal from The Daily Caller permanently. A public apology from The Daily Caller is also in order for publishing this misandric article. Any of the people signing this petition will also be unsubscribing from The Daily Caller if they are subscribers.
This petition could have been in the Men’s rights category. But Change.org refuses to make one. They give more rights to animals than men. Please sign and share this petition as well. Thank you. click here
Thank you
Howard for starting this petition.
