MRA-MGTOW-Zeta Male Per's MANifesto I've decided to start reposting Per's MANifesto, a classic of internet anti-feminism, from the beginning. Used to be on the soc.men website maintained by Michael Snyder, but that seems to be gone and the MANifesto doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet any more. Posted by Stephen Morgan at 06:31 http://slackbob.blogspot.ca/2011/04/pers-manifesto.html (Current address as of June 4th, 2012.) Per's MANifesto January 1996 MANifesto: An electronic newsletter of news and opinion on gender issues. January, 1996. INDEX: I. The Veggie-Penis Lawsuit II. Jesus Christ: Potential Rapist III. Chief Wins Harassment Suit IV. Sexual Harassment at the Corp. for Public Broadcasting V. Feminist Pay Grab Defeated VI. Northern Exposure Actor Charged VII. Male and Presumed Guilty ======= I. THE VEGGIE-PENIS LAWSUIT Newsgroups: alt.feminism,soc.men Date: Thu, 28 Dec 1995 13:32:25 A woman is suing a nursing home in Peterborough, New Hampshire over a prank on the day before April Fool's Day. Irene Palmer's co-workers at Pheasant Wood Nursing Home got a police officer to pretend to arrest her. She was handcuffed and taken outside, then was told it was a joke. She wants money. She says the nursing home should pay her $1.8 million. Apparently she thinks she could put $1.8 million dollars to better use than a nursing home. She also filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming sexual harassment because someone at the nursing home put up a photograph showing Palmer holding a vegetable that resembles a penis. In her lawsuit, Palmer say the incidents caused her to lose sleep and gain weight and made her nervous and depressed and unable to concentrate. If conditions are too rough for this woman in a nursing home, perhaps she should switch careers -- to the military, for example. Feminists keep telling us that this is the gender that can stand up to the horrors of combat. =============== II. JESUS CHRIST: POTENTIAL RAPIST In a thread called "Feminist Logic," I posted the following, sure that most people would understand the absurdity: >: All men are potential rapists >: Jesus Christ was a man >: Therefore, Jesus Christ was a potential rapist. But In article <[email protected]> Hanah Chapman, [email protected] (Hanah Chapman), wrote: >Yep. If Jesus Christ had a penis, he was capable of rape. (Feminists used to be upset if anyone suggested that their abilities and flaws were predetermined by their bodies. But now being male automatically makes you capable of rape.) ===================================== III. CHIEF WINS HARASSMENT SUIT Newsgroups: soc.men Date: Fri, 29 Dec 1995 11:49:46 San Francisco's police chief has won a federal sexual harassment case in which the charges had an awful lot of political overtones. Joanne Welsh accused Police Chief Anthony Ribera of kissing her, making suggestive remarks, and giving her unwanted earrings. Here's the latest advance in feminism: getting compensation for receiving unwanted earrings. But what this woman *really* wanted was nearly two million bucks. However there was something fishy about her story from the start. Welsh has a boyfriend who had been the city Supervisor. Chief Ribera and the boyfriend had a big blowup in the office one day. The very next day, Welsh is filing her charges. She said the timing was coincidence. Right. But there were other suspicious factors as well. Chief Ribera was an ally of Mayor Frank Jordan. But Jordan lost his bid for re-election, and then opponents went after his ally, Ribera. Yes, it smells of politics. But remember, feminists tell us that women never lie about these things. After she lost, Welsh said "I think that women can pretty much emphasize with me on how difficult it is to prove to someone what happens behind closed doors.'" Yes, it is pretty difficult to prove what happens behind closed doors. But that goes both ways. It's difficult to prove your innocent if there is absolutely no evidence to refute except her word. I can certainly empathize with a man who is hauled into court and has to pay expensive legal fees to fight an unsupported and unprovable accusation about "what happens behind closed doors." The question is: when you have one person's word against another's and the charges cannot be proven or verified, why do we still haul men into court and make them go through this expensive ordeal? Just because a woman says so? ================================ IV. SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT THE CORP. FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING. A member of the board for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is being accused of harassing an employee of the corporation. (This is really a scandal because CPB distributes federal money for the ultra-politically correct National Public Radio and PBS. So here is a member of the ultra-PC group accused of sexual harassment.) Among the charges: that the board member sent the employee a red nightshirt that said "I Only Sleep With the Best!" and checked into the employee's marital status and made repeated unwelcome advances during a party, repeatedly made unwelcome invitations to dinner or drinks, and later kissed the employee on the mouth. When these advances were rebuffed, the board member retaliated by trying to get the employee fired. Shades of Bob Packwood! In fact, you might remember that during the Packwood hearings, women's advocates took out big ads asking, "If your boss stuck his tongue in your mouth, would he still have a job?" But this CPB board member still has her job. Her name is Martha Buchanan. The man she is accused of harassing is Fred DeMarco. DeMarco said he found the woman "physically repulsive" as she tried to force her attention on him. When he turned her down, he found out that she was denigrating his work and telling other people that he should be fired. Nonetheless, DeMarco is taking it "like a man." He isn't filing a lawsuit, even though lawyers for the CPB say he has one heck of a case. No victimhood jackpot and lucrative book tour for this man. No cover of Time and People. He just wanted to be able to do his job. The Washington Post reports on the case in its December 12th edition. The Post observes: "This is a story about a Washington in which fear of being sued can turn a bureaucracy inside out. It is about a world in which decisions are driven by fear of public exposure, embarrassment, political repercussions." It's nice of the Post to finally realize that sexual harassment charges involve an awful lot of politics. It just took a case in which a woman is accused for the Post to make that connection. As for the National Public Radio, this whole episode is rather ironic, because NPR broke the Anita Hill story. Now the organization that holds the purse strings for NPR has on its board a female harasser who got off scot free. You have to wonder how it will affect NPR's "crusading" coverage. Of course, NPR was never all that hot for digging into how issues like this affect men in the first place. Now they might be even less inclined to do so. ===================== V. FEMINIST PAY GRAB DEFEATED It is heartening to see that a judge recently overturned a pay-grab scheme by women who work in school cafeterias in the Everett, Mass., school district. Fifty-five women filed suit claiming that they deserved to be paid as much as the male custodians who work for the schools. They said it was discrimination that they weren't paid as much. Now if those women had applied for jobs as custodians and been turned down, I'd say they have a good case. But they didn't. They wanted to continue working in the cafeteria while getting paid as much as the men who are custodians. They claimed it was a case of "equal pay for equal work." But they weren't willing to do equal work for equal pay. The school district argued that the work was not equal. Their lawyer said, "Serving pizza -- is that comparable substantially to pushing a broom? I would argue, no, they don't bear any resemblance." I think he has a darn good point. Maybe the cafeteria workers have to clean dirty dishes, but the custodians have to clean dirty toilets and urinals. And maybe the cafeteria workers have to clean up spilled spaghetti now and then, but the custodians have to clean up vomit, etc., now and then. In fact, if there is an especially nasty mess in the kitchen, I bet those women call the custodians to clean it up. These women just wanted to stay in a less disgusting job while getting the same pay. If the work is just the same and they want the extra pay, why don't they apply for custodial work? The sad part is that these women actually got a lower court to award them a million dollars. But that pay-grab was overturned this week on appeal. That's a victory for common sense. =============================== VI. NORTHERN EXPOSURE ACTOR CHARGED Actor Robert Nicholson, who plays the cook Sonny on "Northern Exposure," was just charged with misdemeanor assault on a woman. Does he deserve it? Here's the deal. Police said they got conflicting accounts from Nicholson and the woman. She claimed that he hit her after she ridiculed him and called him names. He says she threw a drink on him and then came at him and broke his glasses and he shoved her away and she hit her nose.

While the living struggle to explain what happened. And why. A survivor of the mountain's worst disaster examines the business of Mount Everest and the steep price of ambition. By Jon Krakauer Straddling the top of the world, one foot in Tibet and the other in Nepal, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask, hunched a shoulder against the wind, and stared absently at the vast sweep of earth below. I understood on some dim, detached level that it was a spectacular sight. I'd been fantasizing about this moment, and the release of emotion that would accompany it, for many months. But now that I was finally here, standing on the summit of Mount Everest, I just couldn't summon the energy to care. It was the afternoon of May 10. I hadn't slept in 57 hours. The only food I'd been able to force down over the preceding three days was a bowl of Ramen soup and a handful of peanut M&M;'s. Weeks of violent coughing had left me with two separated ribs, making it excruciatingly painful to breathe. Twenty-nine thousand twenty-eight feet up in the troposphere, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that my mental capacity was that of a slow child.

  • Legal Impediments to Service: Women in the Military and the Rule of Law
    08__MURNANE.DOC 6/18/2007 3:03 PM LEGAL IMPEDIMENTS TO SERVICE: WOMEN IN THE MILITARY AND THE RULE OF LAW LINDA STRITE MURNANE* PREAMBLE Since our nation’s birth, women have been engaged in the national defense in various ways. This article will examine the legal impediments to service by women in the United States military. This brings to light an interesting assessment of the meaning of the term “Rule of Law,” as the legal exclusions barring women from service, establishing barriers to equality and creating a type of legal glass ceiling to preclude promotion, all fell within the then-existing Rule of Law in the United States. Finally, this article looks at the remaining barriers to women in the military and reasons to open all fields and all opportunities to women in today’s military. I. THE CONCEPT OF THE RULE OF LAW Albert Venn Dicey, in “Law of the Constitution,” identified three principles which establish the Rule of Law: (1) the absolute supremacy or predominance of regular law as opposed to the influence of arbitrary power; (2) equality before the law or the equal subjection of all classes to the ordinary law of the land administered by the ordinary courts; and (3) the law of the constitution is a consequence of the rights of individuals as defined and enforced by the courts.1 This concept of the Rule of Law has existed since the beginning of the nation, most famously reflected in the writings of John Adams in drafting the * Colonel, USAF, Ret. The author acknowledges with gratitude the research assistance of Vega Iodice, intern at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and lawyer apprentice at the Iodice Law Firm in Naples, Italy, in the preparation of this article.

  • MAINE POLITICAL BRIEFING Primary: 6/14 US SENATE RACE Roll
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu May 20, 1994 MEMORANDUM TO SENATOR DOLE FROM: SUZANNE HELLMANN RE: MAINE POLITICAL BRIEFING Primary: 6/14 U.S. SENATE RACE Roll Call and Cook rate this a "toss-up." A confidential poll done right after Mitchell's announcement showed Snowe in the lead by 8 points. This information was not released. o Closure of Loring AFB is an important issue for the Snowe campaign as Rep. Andrews supported the closure and Snowe opposed it. Two other military facilities - the Portsmouth Shipyard and Brunswick Naval Station - could also face some cut-backs or closure in the future. Interestingly, the Pentagon announced on 5/3 that it will locate a 750-job defense accounting center at Loring, one of 25 sites chosen nationwide to consolidate the work of 300 existing defense accounting centers. Loring officially closes in late summer, but many of the 4,600 employees have already left. (Andrews does not support the bill to delay further base closures) . o Gun control is a big issue. Andrews supports gun control and Snowe opposes it. Their recent vote reflects that -- this is viewed as a negative for Andrews as the Maine population is made up of avid game hunters. o The Health Security Act could cause the loss of 3,852 - 4,800 jobs in Maine and a possible 106,179 could face reduced wages, hours or benefits. o Courting the Perot voters will be important as he received 30% of the vote as did Bush.
