Rebuking Feminism: State of The Union Address: FATHERHOOD


You say that men are the cause of fatherless children. You say ?what makes you a man isn?t just the ability to conceive a child but having the courage to raise one? Mr. President, women are 2/3 of those who divorce and abandon their families. Women are also choosing to get pregnant by uncommitted men they are not married to and who are above their station, men who are quite happy to fuck the women who are attracted to them. Women are doing this by choice and they are also getting pregnant by choice and sometimes without the consent of the man by way of birth control fraud. Our single mother birth rate is now at 45% of all births.

Mr. President, family courts alienate children from their fathers by default as a matter of course and the VAWA legislation has provisions that separate children from their fathers without due process of law. Women have default access to men?s bodies and the fruits of its labor regardless of their actions, they have default access to government husbandry welfare regardless of their actions and choices as to with who and in what instance they choose to conceive. We must make changes that expect responsibility from women by creating at least one or more liabilities for their whoredom. ??

??

?To increase the amount of fathers in the home we must reform marriage and family law by ending or increasing standards on grants of no-fault divorce, mandate shared custody of children so that men can ?raise a child? as you say and do so equally. By granting shared custody women will have less incentive to abandon their families. Or?. we can simply return to father-right custody altogether. When father-right custody existed, contrary to the mother-right we have now, men vary rarely divorced and abandoned their family. Even still, it is not men in the majority who do so. ?

??

?We must also give men reproductive rights to abortion so that men who do not consent to fatherhood in the first place may abort from the ramifications of conception just as women can. Women may decide for the child to be fatherless in this instance or choose to abort. Sex, as it is for women, is not consent to conceive a child nor should it be for men who wish not to become fathers. We must reform VAWA to give rights to the accused and at very least give men equal protection as is granted us by The Constitution so that we may spuriously use VAWA against women in attempt to gain custody of our children in such fashion as well. As is current, the women's union wants to include all citizens and non citizens with the exception of heterosexual males. If this legislation is not intended to give all citizens equal protection under law what is it's real intent?

We must decrease incentive for women to get knocked up by a man above her station by choosing to get pregnant outside of marriage by way of a man that is not committed to her. We must do this by limiting her default ability to gain resources from this man by child support as well as bar access to government subsidies if she is not married to the man she chooses to get pregnant from. If a man is not committed, and the couple not mutually consenting through the mutual agreement implied by marriage, a woman should have a liability in choosing to get pregnant by him. We must remember that pregnancy is 100% a woman's choice. ?

?This will have exponential effect upon future father involvement as it is the case that boys who themselves grew up without a father are more likely not to commit to fatherhood themselves. Mr. President, fatherlessness creates fatherlessness and fathers create fathers.

Mr. President, studies show that boys without fathers fare much worse in overall health, education, well being and general life outcome than girls from the same home. They have lower academic achievement, higher crime rates, higher gang membership rates and suicide rates. A society of underachieving young men from fatherless homes do not make adequate husbands for the nations daughters. Strengthening fatherhood strengthens the nation?s sons and by doing so adds to the above listed exponential effect of laying the foundation for strong families and the growth of father inclusion and marriage. Strong young men make strong families. Implimenting pro fatherhood laws will both increase the quality of men to choose from in terms of boosting overall male health and thus acievement but also improve the likelihood that these men will invest in fatherhood themselves seeing as it is they had a father present in their lives. ???

?You say you wish to ?remove the financial deterrents to marriage for low income couples? What do you mean by this? I believe this would entail providing tax incentives to maintain a marriage as well as welfare reform to a system that currently provides government husbandry to single mothers leading them to choose the government over a husband and fatherhood for children and grants them default access to these provisions regardless of her behavior and her choices. ?

?? I propose by enacting the above changes to marriage law, divorce law, VAWA and by granting reproductive rights to men we can not only reduce men?s reluctance to marry but decrease women?s propensity to abandon and divorce their families in the numbers they do as well as drastically reduce the out of wedlock single mother hypergamous whore birth rate (Graph). The changes women made to law during The Cultural Revolution must be reformed so that they are once again adults with not only responsibilities for their choices but liabilities for their choices as well. By enacting these pro family, pro marriage and pro fatherhood initiatives men are more likely to be continued members of the family and included in it in the first place. Women are more likely not to conceive a child outside marriage as they would lose default access to both men's resources and that of the collective tax base by way of government welfare.?

? Mr. President, Please observe the graph below as well. Do you see the reset in the trend momentum of single mother births beginning in 1993? This is when welfare reform took place and government actually created incentives for women not to be supported by government husband and to get a job. With the added burden of having to work, women created relationships with men to do so for them instead, men that could potentially be fathers to their children sir. I ask you this, imagine if we created more responsibilities and liabilities for women both as to with who and in what circumstances they choose to conceive a child? I propose that giving women the responsibilities of an adult and liabilities for their choices we could further reduce the single mother birth rate and in fact possibly create a declining trend momentum in female deadbeats who divorce and abandon their family, lechery, irresponsibility and overall whoredom. We can thereby reduce fatherlessness as well. ?


?

??

Mr. President, young women make on average 8% more than young men and this is from the calculated average from every state in the union. Time Magazine has also concluded that young women out earn their potential husbands in every state in the union. They comprise 60% of college degrees as well. A contributing factor to male underachievement as compared to women can be attributed to fatherlessness. As you can see from the graph above as well, it is only when women marry (or as is commonly the case) they decide to become a single mother and have an out of wedlock birth do they make less than men. If you want women to earn more then your proposal for govt. funded child care facilities will help that. Children must be turned over to these facilities at a young age i.e. 2-4yrs old. Their education can be determined by The People's? Dept. of Education as the Soviets did. However, I believe implementing the soviet model i.e. centralized funding and government controlled educational content is not a viable solution for our families.

10 Amazing College Basketball Stats for Feb. 11-17

Kentucky flops without Noel while Indiana and Florida continue to run up the score

Kentucky flops without Noel while Indiana and Florida continue to run up the score

A handful of players hit multiple milestones this week, but they weren?t necessarily the most notable numbers of the week.

Creighton?s National Player of the Year contender Doug McDermott reached the 2,000-point mark, Kansas? Jeff Withey set the Big 12?s career blocks record and Ohio?s D.J. Cooper moved into a tied for 15th on the all-time assists left.

Meanwhile, Kentucky and John Calipari flopped in a major way in its first game without Nerlens Noel, Indiana and Florida kept rolling over opponents, and Wisconsin soared at home.

In a wild season, we still found notable storylines in the numbers this week.

KEY COLLEGE BASKETBALL STATS FOR FEB. 11-17

30. Margin of defeat for Kentucky against Tennessee on Saturday
Before Saturday, Kentucky knew Nerlens Noel was its top player and the most consistent piece on a marginal NCAA Tournament team. But Tennessee proved the Wildcats could be lost without him. The Wildcats? 88-58 loss to Tennessee was the biggest defeat of the John Calipari era by a long shot. The previous biggest losses were by 17 to eventual national champion Connecticut in the Maui Invitational in 2010 and by 17 to Florida on Tuesday, when Noel originally sustained a torn ACL. The numbers fallout was astounding: Zero fast-break points for Kentucky, 50 first-half points allowed and a 39-point deficit that wasn?t erased until the Wildcats ended the game on an 11-2 run.

How valuable is Nerlens Noel? Take a look at Kentucky?s key numbers in games with their National Defensive Player of the Year candidate and one game without him:

KENTUCKY WITH NOEL AGAINST TENNESSEE
Points allowed 62.8 per game 88
Field goal % defense 38.2 58.0
Blocks 7.5 per game 6
Steals 6.4 per game 7
Defensive rebound % 69.4 45.0
Offensive rebound % 34.8 33.3

21. Average margin of victory for Indiana and Florida this season
This isn?t a shock to anyone following college basketball this season, but when Indiana and Florida win this season, they tend to win big. That continued Saturday when Indiana 83-55 defeated Auburn and Indiana defeated Purdue 83-52. That boosted the Hoosiers? nation leading average scoring margin to 21.9 points per game and the Gators to 21.7 per game. What do those near-identical scores mean? According to Matt Woods of TeamRankings.com, both teams have the highest average scoring margin since 2001 Duke (22.6 points per game). The last time two teams in a season averaged a scoring margin of 20 points per game, Kansas and Memphis met for the national title in 2008. Of the last 11 teams to defeat opponents by 20 points per game in a season, four won a national title. In his post, Woods notes how each team fared in the NCAA Tournament.

31. Auburn?s largest margin of defeat at home since 1952
The Tigers haven?t been a great basketball program, but the 83-53 rout to Florida was the worst for Auburn at home since lost by 40 to Kentucky on Jan. 30, 1952. That game was notable more for the names in the arena that day -- Adolph Rupp was the coach at Kentucky and future Georgia football coach Vince Dooley played for Auburn.

60. Maryland?s shooting percentage against Duke
Maryland shot 60 percent from the field (27 of 45) in an 83-81 win over Duke on Saturday, the first time any team shot that well against the Blue Devils since Jan. 30, 2010. In that game, Georgetown shot 71.7 precent from the floor on 33-of-46 shooting. Both hot shooting teams were anchored by big men -- Georgetown by Greg Monroe in 2010 and Maryland by Alex Len on Saturday. Len was 6 of 8 from the field and 7 of 8? from the free throw line for 18 points, outdueling Mason Plumlee who fouled out with four points. The must-win game for the Terps boosted their RPI from No. 70 to 63 in one day.

6-1. Wisconsin?s Big Ten home record
Wisconsin?s?6-1 Big Ten home record isn?t all that impressive -- most top-25 teams will have similar or better home conference records. But Wisconsin?s 71-49 throttling of Ohio State further illustrated the Badgers? dominance at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin has defeated three RPI top-25 teams at home (Michigan, Ohio State and Minnesota) and two other NCAA Tournament contenders (Illinois and Iowa). Moreover, three Wisconsin players average in double figures at home (Jared Berggren, Ben Brust and Ryan Evans) while none average 10 points per game on the road.

Here?s a closer look at Wisconsin?s overall home/road splits:

WISCONSIN HOME ROAD
Field goal % 44.9 37.9
Field goal % defense 37.1 44.3
Points for 70.7 57.4
Points against 51.3 61.0
Scorers averaging 10+ ppg 3 0

28, 7 and 4. Marcus Smart?s stat line against Oklahoma
With UNLV and Anthony Bennett struggling to stay above .500 in the Mountain West and with Nerlens Noel out for the season, the National Freshman of the Year spotlight may turn to the Big 12. Kansas? Ben McLemore and Oklahoma State?s Marcus Smart will be in the discussion, and Smart?s game against Oklahoma will highlight the rookie guard?s credentials. Smart?s 28 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the 84-79 overtime win over the Sooners underscored what a unique player his in the Big 12. In conference games, Smart is the only player in the Big 12 to rank in the top five in scoring, assists and steals and the only player to rank in the top 15 in scoring, rebounding and assists.

63. Combined points for UCLA?s top three freshmen against Stanford
Ben Howland?s freshman class of Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams was tabbed as the trio that would salvage UCLA basketball. It?s been an up-and-down season, but the trio showed what they could do when they?re all on their games at the same time. The three rookies combined for 63 points in an 88-83 win over Stanford with 25 from Muhammad, 20 from Adams and 18 from Anderson. The 63 points was the most they?ve had as a group in Pac-12 play; the previous high was 46. It was also the most since combining for 72 against Fresno State on Dec. 22.

25-6. Amount Villanova freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono outscored UConn leading scorers Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright
Connecticut isn?t going to the NCAA Tournament, but the Huskies might end up helping Villanova find its way to the field. The Wildcats earned a resume-boosting win by defeating Connecticut 70-61 on Saturday for their first top-40 win since defeating Louisville and Syracuse in consecutive games in January. Streaky freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono outdueled UConn?s top guards Ryan Boatright (four points) and Shabazz Napier (two), though Napier had 10 assists.

4. Consecutive Big East wins for Providence
Hopes are high for Providence under second-year coach Ed Cooley, and the Friars have had a taste of what that might mean in the last two weeks. With a 71-54 win over Notre Dame on Saturday, Providence has won four consecutive Big East games, its longest conference winning streak since 2003-04. And the Friars aren?t ganging up on the have-nots in the Big East -- three of their four wins have come against NCAA contenders Notre Dame, Cincinnati and Villanova. Providence has had only minimal contributions from its standout freshman class, too. Kris Dunn is averaging only 5.6 points per game and Ricky Ledo has not qualified academically.

4. Active coaches in the Basketball Hall of Fame
Syracuse?s Jim Boeheim, SMU?s Larry Brown, Duke?s Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina?s Roy Williams are the only active men?s college basketball coaches in the Basketball Hall of Fame, but that number could increase by one before next season. Louisville?s Rick Pitino was named as one of 12 finalists to be enshrined this season along with former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian. The Hall of Fame Class of 2013 will be announced before the national title game in Atlanta.

89% No

All Critics (56) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (50) | Rotten (6)

Larra?n's unarguable point is that, in politics, if we wait for good to issue only from the pure in heart, we will be waiting a very long time.

[Lorrain has] made a few daring choices here, not all of which work.

A troubling, exhilarating and ingeniously realized film that's part stirring political drama and part devilish media satire ...

For anyone fascinated by the political process and the powers of persuasive advertising, No is a resounding yes.

The story of it, while true to the moment, needed - ironically - much more dynamism.

Larra?n's script is punctuated by dark bursts of humour, and the filmmaker knowingly navigates his audience to a nail-biting - though never cloying, and fully warranted - climax.

It makes the superficial Mad Men seem like, well, a commercial. Buy, buy, buy.

A fascinating period re-creation if not an especially compelling drama.

Evocative and suspenseful, the film is a fascinating glimpse into recent history and the democratic process.

The film highlights the sad fact that logical arguments don't win political debates or elections. Sloganeering and advertising do.

Using a technique borrowed from cinema verit? documentaries, the director succeeds in making us feel as if we're living each moment right alongside his politically-charged characters.

It's a perfectly fine movie, but given its fairly radical storyline, the filmmaking tends to hew toward the safe and the familiar.

"No" gives a fresh look at the little known history of a country whose duly elected government under Salvador Allende was overthrown in a military coup led by Pinochet in 1973.

Savvy, often brilliant ...

Bernal plays the creative type perfectly. His big eyes always seem to be seeing things that others don't, and through his calm, methodical demeanor, you can sense the wheels turning in his head.

The most unexpectedly riotous comedy in years -- one with more bite than usual.

No quotes approved yet for No. Logged in users can submit quotes.

6 Statistics That Influence Your Mix of Media, Marketing and Mingling

Given that we live, work and play in two worlds, in-person and online, finding your best mix of media, marketing and mingling can influence meeting the right people, joining the best communities, getting involved with them and communicating to them.

We know the benefits and value of networking with people in person, but some compelling trends and statistics emerged in 2012?that were shared in an infographic titled, ?100 Social Networking Statistics and Facts for 2012? created by Creotivo:

networking

[Click Image for Full Version]

Below are 6 statistics that appear to influence your mix of media, marketing and mingling:

  • 40% socialize more online than they do face to face.
  • 1 out of every 7 minutes spent online is spent on Facebook.
  • 83% of brands use Facebook as #1 tool for business.
  • 53% of brands use Twitter as #2 tool for business.
  • 61% of brands use LinkedIn as their primary professional networking site.
  • 53% of employers have formal social media policies.

My recent relocation to the Tampa Bay area had many moving parts. Since I was familiar with the area and knew people in business, I decided to network people instead of events, feeling that?they would naturally lead me to others. And this approach is working.

I not only picked up the phone, but used LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter prior to moving to connect with people and ask if they could make some introductions for me. ?Once I was moved, I joined a chamber, a business networking group, an arts facility and the local cycling club. I put these communities in place so I could ?meet a diverse mix of local people who share many of my interests.

A question that comes up often is, ?What do you do?? When it does, I lead with my career story, which allows me to be more personal with people. The ?story? of your story is a great connector.

Social Media Makes Connecting Easier and is Possible Every Day?

Locally as well as far and wide, it allows us to find and build communities of like minded and spirited people fairly quickly. Less is actually more. A smaller group of more targeted connections is far more valuable than a huge group of followers who are really just numbers on a list.

The best way of determining what media?s are right for you is to observe what others are doing who are engaging you. Ask, survey and tap your community to find out what is working best for them. LinkedIn, Facebook ?and Twitter are my big three. But use what works for you, your business, your customers and your industry.

Use Content Marketing by Making Your Content About Helping Others

We all have something to offer and we should be sharing it often and freely. This is the best way to educate people about who we are, what we do and how we can solve problems. People drive their businesses today so getting out front via content marketing is not a bad thing or an ego thing as long the intent is to serve others and not always be selling.

Celebrate results, the impact of what you do, what you have learned ?and how it has and can benefit others. ?When you market the results up front not the product or service, it demonstrates how you solve problems. That, ultimately, is your best sales story.?

Mingle Through Purposeful Networking, Groups and a Commitment to Get Involved?

This can yield big dividends. ?Networking has always had a prominence in growing personal and professional connections and reputation. Interacting, connecting and gathering socially in person is the most natural thing we do. Networking in person always takes priority, but your online communication platforms support, solidify and grow your relationships in between those times. In person and online networking is now interdependent and mutually beneficial.

Finding that perfect mix of media, marketing and mingling is how we make ourselves stand out, claim our space and build loyal communities and customers. ?These 7 common sense tips for networking are great reminders of just how easy this can be.

What influences your best mix of media, personal marketing and mingling?
