Answer a Survey about Pissing for a New Book

I am in the research phase of a writing project that will result in a book tentatively named Urinalia: A Social Look at Men and Pissing. I will be examining this little discussed topic from the view points of history, psychology, social customs, rites and rituals, architecture, biology. To further my research I have created an online survey to gauge men's attitudes and behaviors towards urine, pissing and public men's rooms. I am looking to reach a broad demographic of all men regardless of age, status, political beliefs, religious affiliation, lifestyles and such. Please visit www.urinesurvey.com See an article titled The Joy of Pissing.

Extreme Mid-Life Crisis Wanted -7/2/03

Hi,

I notice that you offer help for people looking for advice. I am in definite need of help if you feel you could:

I am working on a television idea for a UK based independent production company. The programme I am developing revolves around the phenomenon that

is the male mid-life crisis.

In particular, I am looking for big, bold stories of some of the things that men who hit the mid-life crisis get up to. The more unbelievable, the better - the man that has spent his life savings on a sports car, only to crash it, the man who left his wife for a girl his daughter's age, etc, etc. Some of the real life stories that most of these stereotypes are based on.

I suppose that I am looking to hear from men that have been through the MLC, made some really bad decisions but who have embraced the experience, learnt from it and are not afraid to speak of it.

I hope you may be able to pass on my details to anyone that you feel suitable. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks in advance,

Dan Moule, Denham Productions, Plymouth, UK

The Men's Studies Press invites scholars to submit empirical and theoretical articles for its new men's health journal, the International Journal of Men's Health, which will be launched in the winter of 2002. The International Journal of Men's Health (ISSN: 1532-6306) will publish peer-reviewed papers addressing all aspects of men's health. Topics will cover: various diseases and health problems that are male-specific or for which men have higher rates of morbidity or mortality than women; the biological, psychological, behavioral, and sociocultural processes influencing men's health; prevention and treatment approaches to men's illnesses; sexual, reproductive, and family planning concerns; men's bodies and body image; health concerns of special populations of men and boys; clinical and counseling intervention strategies; marketing to and engaging men in health care; and gender differences in health concerns. Multidisciplinary, multicultural, empirical, theoretical, applied, and historical contributions, as well as critical reviews are encouraged. Original interdisciplinary research and studies that analyze innovative intervention strategies will be given high priority. The International Journal of Men's Health is intended for teachers, students, and professionals involved in the behavioral and social sciences, health sciences, medicine, and public health and whose interest in or whose research examines men's health issues in the broadest sense. Thus, epidemiologists, health educators, medical anthropologists, nurses and physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists, public health workers, social workers, and sociologists will find the International Journal of Men's Health a valuable resource for advancing their knowledge about men's health concerns and gender-specific health care.

Modeling Men’s Reluctance to Seek Mental Health Care

If you are a man 18 or older and would like to support this study with your participatoin, go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/C827BTN to start. We are trying to recruit a community sample of men over the internet. The results of this research have the potential to be helpful to men in need of psychological services who are reluctant to use them. The survey may also benefit men who take it by bringing issues of help seeking to the forefront, where they might not otherwise consider their own views toward seeking help. We would tremendously appreciate your participation with this project. Chris Mellinger clm88@zips.uakron.edu

Looking for parents of LGBT or heterosexual individuals, who are residents of California

I am a doctoral candidate at Alliant International University, San Diego. For my dissertation, I am examining gender perceptions among people with various sexual orientations/gender identities. The research study was developed in consultation with my dissertation committee, LGBT individuals, and was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) at Alliant International University. I am looking for parents (of LGBT or heterosexual individuals), who are residents of California to complete an anonymous online questionnaire, available at: www.genderstudy.info. I hope that this study will contribute to further understanding of the understudied and underserved population. I also believe the knowledge gained from this study will help therapists in addressing issues related to sexual orientation and gender identities. I would appreciate your participation or help circulating this information. Thank you, Jennifer Mato, M.A., LMFT / Marital and Family Therapy Doctoral Candidate / Alliant International University (San Diego) / eMail / Dissertation chair: Narumi Taniguchi, Ph.D.

New Dads: Help with an on-line questionairre.

Attention Postpartum Moms and New Dads
The UNLV Maternal Health Lab is conducting two surveys on postpartum mental health. We need 500 postpartum women and their partners, who have had children within the last year and who are 18 years and older to complete a 30-minute anonymous survey. Please go to www.maternalhealthlab.com and click either the Postpartum Moms or Postpartum Dads links. Thank-you for your assistance.

Looking for men between 18-59 who have been physically assaulted at least once in the last 12 months by a current or former intimate female partner.

The Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research study at Clark University and is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology, is the lead researcher on this project. She is conducting this project in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State College Department of Social Work, the Survey Center at the University of Southern Maine, and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women. Our goal is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Extensive research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. This is an under-recognized problem in the United States, and by conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships and their needs.

If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 59 and you have been physically assaulted at least one time in the last 12 months by a current or former intimate female partner you may be eligible to participate in this study. If you are interested in participating, please call the DAHMW at 888.743.5754 or E-Mail for information about the study and directions for participating.

Men's Survey: What is your PTSD and feeling quotient?

We've often wondered if infant circumcision (suspected to have lasting psychological effects) could be measured in adults using standard PTSD and Alexithymia (inability to express feelings into words) tests. If so, then this might indicate a source for unexplained behavior in men (often attribu ted to testosterone). Please take this survey!

When the Tear Won't Fall

In December 2005, Fathers Incorporated will also publish a book of letters entitled "When the Tear Won't Fall." The book will compile letters from fathers of all walks of life to speak on the intimate struggles of fatherhood. Deadline for letter submissions is June 27th. Forms can be obtained by visiting our website at www.fathersinc.org

Father's Organization to Publish Book Highlighting Responsible Fatherhood (posted 1/17/05)

Fathers, Incorporated will publish and promote a book of letters entitled "When the Tear Won't Fall." The book will compile letters from fathers of all walks of life to speak on the intimate struggles of fatherhood.

Throughout the country, organizations are focusing on the issue of absentee fathers and all its attendant disturbing effects and statistics. Fathers, Inc. recognizes the need to reaffirm an understanding of the benefit of fathers to the family. Though to do so our main focus will be on the development of fathers, we recognize that there is also a need for maternal involvement and development specifically as those things intersect around parental responsibility.

Fathers, Inc. is a not-for-profit agency dedicated to strengthening the community and family infrastructure by encouraging and enabling the positive involvement of fathers in the lives of their children. We will do this by increasing awareness of father's rights and responsibilities, the programmatic impact through community collaborations, providing support services, training, and assistance to fathers in need of sustenance and direction.

“When the Tear Won’t Fall” will be unique in the sense that many books written on the subject of fatherhood tend to be in the categories of self-help, humor, poetry and how-to. The book will highlight the stories of fathers who have overcome obstacles, and how their life's choices impacted them as fathers. In some instances, the stories will detail how they failed and what it means/meant to them and their children.

The book will also:

The book project seeks to profile the changing image of fatherhood in our society. It will reinforce and reestablish for many that fathers are a critical part of the productive and positive functioning of the family. Because of the changing configuration of family and the increase in absentee fathers, at a most critical time in this society, these letters will explore what it means to be a father, and offer some insight on how to be a good father.

Guidelines, requirements and deadlines for letters can be obtained by visiting our website at www.fathersinc.org or emailing tear@fathersinc.org. Letters can also be submitted via our website. The book is due out by Christmas 2005.

Subj: Harassment on the job (11/10/00) I am a white-male state employee. I work for the State of Michigan. The majority of employee's are female, black and white. I have seen a definite pattern of discrimination against white men in promotions and job assignments. I have approached the E.E.O. in our agency, (black female) about a sexual harassment problem from female Supv. and was told it would cause me more problems than it it worth, I would probably suffer some repercussions and didn't want to pursue it because they were friends. I have seen at least 8-10 instances of black woman being promoted over white men. These womanall belong to a group called I.A.P.E.S. They are a group of professional white-collar workers whose main intent is to increase the power of the Black& white woman in the workplace. I work for the State of Michigan Unemployment Agency and need a Civil rights lawyer to handle a case of reverse- discrimination. I don't feel comfortable with a Mich. attorney, because I have seen the Gov.Engler fire another state employee who had the balls to go public with some problems in the Dept. of Corrections. I need some help from someone who is discreet and not afraid of City Hall. I can be reached at fspano@centuryinter.net Thanks. Frank Spano

Subj: Chicken Soup for the Chicken's Soul
Have you ever noticed Jack Canfield's "Chicken Soup of the Soul" series - Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirits"? They've got one for about everyone and everything. There are ones for women (2), plus celebrating women, woman's songs, mother's soul, mother's heart, couples, parents, singles, singles/divorced/widowed, friends, everyday heroes, those over 50, birthday girls, kids, teenagers (3), teenage relationships, college, for survivors, for cancer survivors, cancer patients and their loved ones, for loving and learning, for unsinkable souls, to renew your faith, uplift your spirit, for Christians, Christian Families, country soul, work, creativity in the workplace, golfers, even recipes and cat & dog lovers and other critters. There's activity planers for mothers, pet lover's, and work. And another series of "A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Soul" for women, teenagers and friends. They come in cloth and paper, abridged, regular and large print, English and Spanish, books, calendars, journals, or appointment books, 2nd Helping, 3rd Serving, 4th Course, 5th Portion, 6th Bowl, Another Sip, Best of, and on and on and on. In these 182 different versions, however, there isn't one for men, fathers, boys, celebrating men, etc. And from the looks of the ones that have already been announced for publication in 2000, there aren't any on the drawing board. I find this very revealing about this and some other "spiritual" or "new age" work. Even though men are often the authors, they prefer not to talk about themselves or their kind. Is the reason that they don't think men can use it, need it, or benefit from it? No, I believe it's greed - most books are written by women, most books are purchased by women, most "men's books" aren't runaway best sellers, so they will sell more copies about "Chicken Soup for critters" than for men, fathers or boys. Maybe someday, when they've totally run out of innocuous titles like "The 6th Bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul", then, maybe, they'll consider putting together something for men.  I wondered if that thinking had gotten that far with the "Chicken Soup" people, so I called them at 954.360.0909. "Maybe in a year or two we'll put one out for fathers." Maybe they're just plain chicken? If you're an optimist, send a story for possible publication to Men/Fathers, PO Box 30880, Santa Barbara, CA 93130. If you're a pessimist, write the publisher at Health Communications, 3201 SW 15th St, Deerfield Beach, FL 33443 to point out to their oversight.

Subj: Men's bodies and men's health 12/4/99 8:52:08 PM Pacific Standard Time. Hullo from sunny Sydney Australia! I write about men's issues in Australia. My most recent book was FATHERS, SONS AND LOVERS - about what it means to be a man today. Its setting is Australia but friends tell me it could be anywhere. My next book is about men's bodies - how we feel about our bodies - how we feel when desired and when in love. I am interviewing a range of men in Bondi and other places in Australia. I have a small research group examining
- boys' problems in learning - how to assist boys to achieve - how to help men live healthier lives - how to help men be better dads. I am interested in hearing from people working in similar areas. I write both for university audiences and for the public. You'll find some of my stuff on my website.

I am looking for people I can interview on the subject of (1) the psychology of denial regarding our own deaths and (2) personal stories from loved ones, mostly widows, on how their husband's denial of his own mortality prevented him from doing estate planning and, therefore, caused his heirs financial and emotional loss.

Subj: Early childhood groupgs for men 11/8/99 5:08:07 AM Pacific Standard Time. This is the ninth year that I have taught Kindergarten in our school. To date I have never met another male K teacher and really I have not met a male early childhood teacher at all. I have been told that here is one around Akron, Ohio, but my attempt to contact him did not work. Our system is so limiting. It would be great to meet other men that are involved in early-childhood and if you ever locate an organization that is focused in that direction, please make me aware of it. It might be fun to organize such a group, if we weren't 600 miles apart. Please let me know if you locate any interest people. Please allow me to say "Thank you " again. Richard D.

Petitions - copy, sign and pass on to your mailing list


Hate crimes petition

Please forward this petition to friends who believe in what it stands for. The petition will then be forwarded to the President of the United States; the Vice President of the United States; and our United States Senators and House Members.

A resolution follows:

WHEREAS: We affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; and WHEREAS: We commend the efforts of those individuals who dedicate their lives to causes of social justice and human rights; and WHEREAS: We support actions that protect the individual's rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we hereby urge the passage of The Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA), H.R.3081 and S.1529

The Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA), H.R.3081 and S.1529, would amend current federal law (which permits federal prosecution of a hate crime only if the crime was motivated by bias based on religion, national origin, or color) to include real or perceived sexual orientation, gender, and disability so the FBI would be able to investigate and prosecute violent hate crimes against gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. Under this bill, hate crimes that cause death or bodily injury because of prejudice can be investigated federally, regardless of whether the victim was exercising a federally protected right.

The only way that our representatives can be aware of the base of support for this change to the current law is by making our voices heard.

Petition Management:
