D.A. thanks NCFM and removes biased DV "facts" from police video

NCFM's San Diego Chapter, though NCFM President Harry Crouch, recently succeeded in getting the San Diego District Attorney to remove false, gender-biased material from their new police training video on domestic violence, such as the myth that domestic violence is primarily male-on-female and is a leading cause of death for women.  The story, including a letter from the District Attorney thanking NCFM, is chronicled at http://www.californiamenscenters.org/wordpress/?p=11485
 
Excerpt: "[NCFM] after being asked to review a new police training video sent a letter to the San Diego District Attorney showing that the video contained wrong and gender biased information, that is it was biased against men and perpetuated information detrimental to the community and police.  Assistant District Attorney Patrick McGrath found that there were unverifiable statistics and agreed to have the video appropriately edited and re issued. He will be asking that the nine San Diego County police departments and Sheriff's Office replace the first version with the second on departmental Intranets as well as for use in other trainings. . . . We believe this is the first time a law enforcement agency within the United States agreed that information contained in a domestic violence police training video was wrong and took affirmative and costly steps to correct it. . . . ."

The District Attorney's letter thanking NCFM can be viewed directly at

Dear Editor
 
I was so happy to read about the student group "Men in Power" in the Chicago Tribune. Groups like this are part of a growing, global men's rights movement that advocates for equal treatment of men in areas such as child custody, domestic violence policies, reproductive rights, criminal sentencing, public health policies, paternity laws, the draft, dating expectations, and more.
 
Opponents of this movement tend to reactively look only at gender disparities at the top of society (government, CEOs) while overlooking the bottom, where men account for 80 to 90 percent of homeless adults, work-related deaths, prisoners, and suicide deaths, as well as 99 percent of combat deaths and the majority of dropouts and special education students. Men also die younger and more often than women for the 10 leading causes of death.
 
In fact, the reason for the gender disparity at the top—including the "pay gap"—is that women have more options than men to be primary parents, and many of them exercise that option rather than work long, stressful hours. One study found 57 percent of female graduates of Stanford and Harvard left the workforce within 15 years. This is an option few men have (try being a single male and telling women on the first date that you want to stay home). The pay gap only looks at yearly incomes but doesn't account for these options or for overtime (90 percent male), commutes, flexibility, physical risk, etc. This has been confirmed by a recent study funded by the Department of Labor, entitled "An Analysis of Reasons for the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women."

NCFM Twin Cities Chapter at Education Minnesota conference

In October, the Twin Cities Chapter of NCFM had a booth at the annual conference of Education Minnesota, the state teachers association. This conference is always one of our busiest events. For the fifth straight year, we distributed literature about the school system’s bias against boys, and articles with suggestions on how the school system could be changed to serve the educational needs of boys as well as it already serves the educational needs of girls. We also distributed articles about the severe shortage of male teachers and male role models in the schools, and we gave out 500 bookmarks with the Twin Cities Chapter logo and web address.

NCFM speaks at UCLA School of Law for 4th year in a row

On November 10, 2008, UCLA School of Law invited NCFM attorney Marc Angelucci to be a guest speaker for the fourth year in a row to students in a Human Rights and Sexual Politics seminar.  As always, he discussed the history and basic philosophy of NCFM and the men's movement in general, briefly covering issues of such as fathers' rights, male victims of domestic violence or rape, false accusations of abuse, criminal sentencing disparities, men's health, male bashing, and other issues, including misandry and anti-male discrimination in general.  This time he also discussed NCFM's recent California appellate victory in Woods v. Shewry.  The students were very engaged and receptive, and, as always, asked good questions.  Every year they are even more receptive than in previous years, and this year was no exception. 

NCFM members speak out at L.A. City Domestic Violence Council

Shewry.  There were a few heated exchanges but for the most part things went smoothly.   

NCFM wins landmark appellate victory for battered men!!

On 10/14/08, NCFM won a landmark victory for battered men in the appellate case of Woods v. Shewry, originally filed by NCFM back in 2005.  The California Court of Appeal (4th District) ruled that it is unconstitutional to exclude male victims of domestic violence from state-funded programs because it violates men's constitutional right to equal protection.  The decision mentions NCFM and is at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/documents/C056072.PDF

NCFM Attorney Argues Equal Protection Case Before California Court of Appeal

On July 22, 2008, NCFM attorney Marc Angelucci argued the case of David Woods v. State of California before the Third District Court of Appeal in California.  The 3-judge panel (pictured below) appeared very much in agreement that excluding male victims of domestic violence from state-funded domestic violence provisions (CA Health & Safety Code Section 124250), and that excluding inmate fathers from state-run inmate parenting programs, violates men's Constitutional right to equal protection.  A write- up is available at

California Group Defends Fairfield Father

5/14/08

By: Alyssa Bunn A California group has been speaking out on behalf of a Fairfield father who was punished after his adult daughter failed to get her GED.   The California Alliance for Families and Children has called for Butler County judge David Niehaus to be removed from the case for sentencing Brian Gegner to six months in jail.   The National Coalition of Free Men has also gotten involved in the case.  The group examines cases it considers to be sex discrimination.   Judge Niehaus said Gegner should be punished because his daughter, Brittany Gegner, was a juvenile in his custody when she skipped school and didn't graduate.   Now, Brittany is 18 years old and is living with her mother.  She still has not received her GED.   Brittany and her mother both said that they should be to blame, not Gegner.   A new hearing connected to the case has been scheduled for Friday morning.

NCFM President interviewed on the Tom Leykis Show

On May 14, 2008 the Tom Leykis Show hosted NCFM president Harry Crouch, NCFM member Marc Angelucci and Fathers4Justice member Dennis Ettlin about NCFM's recent presentation to Torrance High School students on domestic violence in response to the feminist presentation that misrepresented the statistics.   

NCFM Speaks at Torrance High School

On May 13, 2008, NCFM members Marc Angelucci, Harry Crouch and Fred Sottile were invited speakers at Torrance High School where they spoke before 30 members of the student body government about male victims of domestic violence.  This was a counter to the presentation given by an organization that distorted the issue and falsely told the students 95% of domestic violence is male-on-female, a myth that is not supported by any current credible data at all.  A father of one of the students, who was outraged by the misinformation and contacted NCFM, who helped him stage a protest outside the school and speak at the school board and city council meetings.  As a result, the school agreed to allow NCFM to present the other side.  NCFM discussed the experiences of male victims and why they are neglected and covered up for political and ideological reasons, handed out studies on dating violence including those linked below, explained the history and politics surrounding the problem and why covering up half the violence actually fosters the intergenerational cycle of violence even more.  The students were receptive, and some were outspokenly supportive.  NCFM also briefly introduced issues like paternity fraud and false accusations of abuse as forms of domestic violence, and briefly introduced other men's issues as well and the men's rights movement overall.  NCFM handed out NCFM's flyers and other materials, as well as the following studies/articles:

USA Today prints NCFM-LA letter on Harvard's women-only gym hours

(Photo - No boys allowed: Though turned away from Harvard's gym during the new women-only hours, Muslim Kareem Shuman said he was sympathetic to the policy. / By Elise Amendola, AP)

Closing Harvard gym to men is discriminatory, unfair

Marc E. Angelucci, president, Los Angeles Chapter, National Coalition of Free Men - Los Angeles
 
Why is Harvard University creating special gym hours for women but not for men? Muslim men often cover up in the presence of women to honor hijab, as well. Muslim men have as much reason as Muslim women to be uncomfortable with seeing the opposite sex in revealing gym clothing ("Harvard gym accommodates Muslim women," News, Wednesday).

Exercising in the same gym is going to cause distractions for both men and women. There is no reason why Harvard cannot create similar men-only hours.
I hope that male students will fight and even sue to force Harvard to extend the same gym benefits to men.

NCFM plaintiff wins $400,000.00+ class action against Club Med for anti-male discrimination

For immediate release
2/28/08
 

COURT ENTERS JUDGMENT IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CLUB MED FOR "LADIES FLY FREE PROMOTION"

 

Los Angeles, CA (February 28, 2008) – Today, the Los Angeles and San Diego Chapters of the National Coalition of Free Men ("NCFM") announced support for a judgment entered on February 25, 2008 by the Orange County Superior Court in Alfred Rava v. Club Med Sales (Case No. 03CC09858), a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the California men who were denied free air travel during Club Med's 2003 "Ladies Fly Free" promotion.  

 

The lawsuit alleged Club Med held a promotion in 2003 for travel to its Cancun and Turks  & Caicos resorts that violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and Gender Tax Repeal Act by providing female consumers with free air fare – up to $400 in value, while denying male consumers the same free air travel.

 

The Unruh Act and Gender Tax Repeal Acts have been successfully applied in recent years to end the scourge of promotions in California that charged customers different prices based on the their sex.  Examples include "Ladies Nights" or "Ladies Days" where nightclubs charge men higher prices than women for cover charges, or car washes, billiard halls, dating services, casinos or theaters that charge men higher prices than women for the same services.  The California Supreme Court recognized California's strong public policy to eradicate sex discrimination when it ruled last year that men did not have to ask a Los Angeles supper club to pay the same cover charge as women in order to have a sex discrimination claim.  Angelucci v. Century Supper Club (2007) 41 Cal.4^th 160.

 

Club Med and the class of male plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement that was approved by Orange County Superior Court Judge Ronald H. Bauer.  The settlement includes a provision wherein Club Med, while denying all liability, agreed it would not hold any promotions that discriminate against consumers based on sex.  In addition, each class member who made a claim will receive a cash payment of about $1,000, as well as $1,200 in vouchers for travel to several Club Med resorts, and their attorneys' fees and court costs paid in full. 

 

This is the largest settlement of an Unruh Civil Rights Act or Gender Tax Repeal Act lawsuit in California history.  These Acts protect consumers from being discriminated against based on sex and other protected personal characteristics such as race, national origin, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, or medical condition.

 

Marc Angelucci, Esq., the president of the Los Angeles Chapter of the NCFM, stated "This settlement provides the male victims of this sex-based promotion with a fair cash settlement along with significant travel vouchers to several all-inclusive Club Med resorts.  Furthermore, the settlement supports California's strong public policy of eradicating sex discrimination and helps assure men and women will be treated equally in future promotions by Club Med or any other business operating in California." 

 

NCFM is a non-profit educational and civil rights organization that looks at the ways sex discrimination affects men and boys.  The Los Angeles and San Diego chapters of NCFM supported the named plaintiff, Alfred Rava, throughout the 4 ½ years of litigation.

Heard around town: Women not only victims of domestic abuse

 

Coverage of local participation in the statewide White Ribbon Day last Thursday caught the eye of male advocates on the other side of the country.

 

The National Coalition of Free Men pointed out to The Daily News this week that women aren't the only victims of domestic violence.

 

"I work with men who have been stabbed, cut with glass, had their teeth knocked out with ashtrays, etc., by wives or girlfriends. They and their children deserve the same dignity as female victims, but instead they're stigmatized, ignored and downplayed," wrote Marc Angelucci, president of the Los Angeles chapter.

 

On its Web site, The National Coalition of Free Men is described as "a nonprofit educational and civil rights organization that looks at the ways sex discrimination affects men and boys."

NCFM-LA protests exemption of "able-bodied males" from ban on slavery by International Labour Organi

On February 19, 2008, NCFM-LA sent the following letter to the International Labour Organization:

 

 

VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

February 19, 2008

 

Mr. Juan Somavia
Director-General
International Labour Organization
Route des Morillons 4
CH-1211 Geneva 22
SWITZERLAND

 

Dear Mr. Somavia,

 

The National Coalition of Free Men ("NCFM") is a nonprofit organization that looks at the ways sex discrimination affects men and boys.  We write to express strong opposition to the exemption of "adult able-bodied males" in Article 11 of the Forced Labour Convention of 1930 (www.ilo.org/ilolex/cgi-lex/convde.pl?C029) and to request all records and information reflecting the history of this exemption. 

 

On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Article 2 of the Declaration states "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race . . . sex . . . ."  (Emphasis added.)  Article 4 states "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."  Article 7 states: "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination." 

 

The discrimination against males in Article 11 of the Forced Labour Convention flatly conflicts with the above-mentioned human rights guarantees set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  As you are aware, slavery and forced labor are still significant global problems, and the Convention is an active treaty with 172 nations currently signed on.  Over 80 percent of forced labor victims are men.  (Adam Jones, Ph.D., Gendercide and Genocide.)  In some parts of China, male slaves have no protection because only slavery of females is prohibited by law.  ("Some human traffickers may walk away in 'slave' case," China Daily, 6/15/07, www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-06/15/content_895414.htm.)

 

We urge you to amend the Convention to treat men and women equally pursuant to the demands of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  We also request all information regarding the history of the exemption of men from the ban on forced labor, including any opposition and support for the exemption.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Marc E. Angelucci, Esq.

President
