Cambodia's Hun Sen shaken as opposition rejects poll result
By Prak Chan Thul
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia's long-ruling Prime Minister Hun Sen faced his biggest political setback in two decades on Monday as the country's opposition rejected an election result as tainted by widespread fraud, despite heavy losses for the ruling party.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy, buoyed by a near doubling of seats in parliament, called for an inquiry into what he called massive manipulation of electoral rolls in Sunday's vote.
The government announced late on Sunday that Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) had won 68 seats in the 123-seat parliament to the opposition's 55, a loss of 22 seats for the ruling party.
That marked the 60-year-old Hun Sen's worst election result since the war-torn country returned to full democracy in 1998, although the CPP retained a governing majority to enable the prime minister to extend his 28-year rule.
Prolonged wrangling over the result and a weakened Hun Sen could raise policy uncertainty in the small but fast-growing Southeast Asian nation that is drawing growing investor interest and has forged strong economic ties with China and Vietnam.
But the opposition's chances of overturning the outcome are slim given the ruling party's grip on the courts and with major foreign donors like the United States unlikely to reject the result without evidence of massive fraud.
The Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), whose campaign was given a boost by the return from exile of leader Sam Rainsy, said it wanted an investigation committee set up with representatives from political parties, the United Nations, the election authority and non-governmental organizations.
"There were 1.2 million to 1.3 million people whose names were missing and could not vote. They deleted our rights to vote, how could we recognize this election?" Sam Rainsy, a French-educated former finance minister, told a news conference.
"There were ghost names, names only on paper."
The opposition tapped into growing concern among Cambodians over rising inequality and entrenched corruption that Hun Sen's critics say his policies have exacerbated.
Hun Sen, who has yet to speak publicly about the outcome, may have to adjust some policies in light of the surge in opposition support and show more sensitivity to public opinion. The loss of its two-thirds majority means the CPP will need opposition support to enact any changes in the constitution.
But Hun Sen still has the ability to control policymaking through his majority and the entrenched networks of political influence he has built within the CPP.
"It's definitely unprecedented and unexpected but for now I don't think regime stability is at stake," said Giulia Zino, a Southeast Asia analyst at Control Risks group in Singapore.
ANGRY VOTERS
The CPP had 90 seats in the outgoing parliament and the parties that united to form the CNRP had 29, with minor parties holding the remaining four. Cambodia's election commission has yet to announce how many seats each party has won, and will not announce full, official results until August 15 at the earliest.
Rights groups have criticized the electoral system as heavily biased in favor of the ruling party. The European Union declined to deploy poll monitors for this election after Cambodia did not act on its previous recommendations.
The Transparency International group, which helped monitor the election, cited various irregularities in the vote and said in a statement it was "very concerned about the disenfranchisement of citizens and suspect voters".
Voting on Sunday, like the campaign itself, was for the most part peaceful.
The CPP, backed by a compliant domestic media and superior resources, had been confident of victory. Analysts had predicted a reduction in its majority after the merger of two main opposition parties, as well as the return of Sam Rainsy, but the extent of opposition gains was a surprise.
Rising garment exports plus heavy flows of aid and investment from China have fuelled rapid economic growth, but that has been accompanied by a rise in social tension.
Cambodians have protested more frequently over poor conditions in the garment industry and land rights in the country of 14 million, where a third of people live on less than 65 U.S. cents per day.
The urban population has swelled in recent years, giving rise to a new generation of young voters who have access to wider sources of information online and who tend to support the opposition.
"Democracy is stronger in Cambodia than most outsiders anticipated," said Douglas Clayton, the chief executive of the Leopard Capital investment fund in Phnom Penh.
"The government will likely become more consultative and sensitive to public opinion."
The United Nations organized an election in 1993 that put Cambodia on a rocky path towards stability after decades of turmoil that included the 1975-79 "Killing Fields" rule of the communist Khmer Rouge.
Hun Sen, a former junior commander in the Khmer Rouge who broke away during their rule, lost that election but refused to accept the result and negotiated a position as joint prime minister before seizing power in a coup in 1997.

Canada?s Argent lines up offering to pay down Eagle Ford debt
Argent Energy Trust plans to sell $75 million in debt to expand the company's interest in the Eagle Ford Shale.
Calgary, Canada-based Argent Energy Trust will offer $75 million in trust units to pay off debt from new acquisitions inside South Texas? Eagle Ford Shale.

Apple Is Testing Larger Screens for iPad and iPhone - Report
Apple is evaluating larger display panels for its iPhone smartphones and iPad tablets, according to a media report. The company is doing so in order to make gadgets that are more competitive against products currently available from its rivals, such as Samsung Electronics. Nonetheless, it cannot be excluded that Apple is also evaluating new form-factors in general.
In the recent quarters numerous companies, including, but not limited to arch-rival Samsung, have launched products in brand-new form-factors. Numerous makers released smartphones with ultra-large displays (5.5? and over) as well as various 2-in-1 and hybrid personal computers that can work both as a PC and a tablet. While publicly Apple has criticized both super-phones and hybrids, it does not mean that the company is not assessing possibilities to release such products.
Sources among Apple?s component suppliers revealed to the Wall Street Journal that the consumer electronics giant had asked for prototype smartphone screens larger than its current iPhone and also had demanded screen designs for a new tablet measuring slightly less than 13?. In theory, a tablet with 12.5" or 12.7" display could easily be a hybrid device, question is which operating system it would use.
Apple did not comment on the report. Tim Cook, chief executive of Apple, reaffirmed financial analysts during the quarterly conference call this week that the company has a number of competitive products in the pipeline, but never elaborated on the details.
?We are working on some stuff that we are really proud of and we will see how it does, and we will announce things when we are ready,? said Mr. Cook.

World stocks rise as China slowdown jitters ease
MILAN (AP) ? Easing fears of an economic slowdown in China pushed world markets higher on Tuesday .
World stocks received a boost after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang indicated the government would act to support the world's second-biggest economy after two straight quarters of deceleration. The premier vowed growth would not dip below 7 percent.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 0.3 percent at 6,642 while Germany's DAX rose 0.51 percent to 8,342. The CAC-40 in France was 0.21 percent higher at 3,948.
Li's comments to the Cabinet about economic growth allayed concerns about how much China's government would let the economy slow as it tries to shift the basis of growth toward domestic consumption and away from exports and industrial investment.
"Premier Li's latest talk contains important information and will surely clarify much confusion," analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a report. "He could introduce a small-scale fiscal expansion by tapping the central government coffer."
China's Shanghai Composite jumped 2 percent to 2,043.88 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng surged 2.3 percent to 21,915.42.
Futures augured slight gains on Wall Street. Dow futures advanced 0.1 percent to 15,513 and S&P 500 futures added 0.2 percent to 1,693.20.
Analysts said the previous day's downbeat news on the U.S. economy was double-edged for financial markets.
On one hand, the surprising drop in sales of existing homes in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million dampened optimism about the U.S. economic recovery. But investors could also interpret the weak data as ensuring continued bond-buying by the Federal Reserve.
Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.8 percent to 14,778.51, its second day of gains since Prime Minister's Shinzo Abe's ruling coalition gained control of the upper house in weekend elections. That could make it easier for Abe's administration to implement reforms aimed at lifting the world's No. 3 economy out of its long slump.
In currency markets, the dollar rose to 99.91 yen from 99.32 yen. The euro dipped to $1.3176 from $1.3186.
Benchmark crude for September delivery was down 67 cents to $106.28 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Biden arrives in Delhi to fire up US-India ties
NEW DELHI: US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in India on Monday for a four-day visit designed to revive flagging diplomatic ties and fire up bilateral trade.
Biden, the first US vice president to visit India in three decades, will meet senior leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Tuesday before heading to the financial hub Mumbai to deliver a keynote speech on the economy.
Biden, accompanied by his wife Jill, landed in New Delhi shortly after 5pm (1130 GMT), and immediately visited a museum in the capital dedicated to independence hero Mahatma Gandhi.
In an interview published in the Times of India newspaper before his arrival, Biden said the world's two biggest democracies had a "tremendous capability to work together" but should be doing more.
He also emphasised that he wanted to see an acceleration in bilateral trade, which he said was on track to meet US$100 billion this year.
"The United States has welcomed India's emergence and both nations have profited from it," the vice president said.
"India's rise as a global economic power is one of the most powerful stories of the 21st century."
The announcement of Biden's visit was made during a trip to India last month by Secretary of State John Kerry, who sought to allay Indian fears about the aftermath of next year's withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
India, which has spent more than two billion dollars of aid in Afghanistan, fears a possible return to power by the Taliban, hardline Islamists who were strong allies of Pakistan before being toppled in 2001.
Talks between the US and the Taliban were due to start last month after the Islamists opened an office in Doha, but they collapsed before even getting off the ground.
In his meeting with Indian leaders, Biden is expected to reiterate that the US will not support any peace process involving the Taliban unless they renounce violence.
"If the Taliban are to have any role in Afghanistan's political future, they will need to break ties with al-Qaeda, stop supporting violence and accept the Afghan constitution as part of the outcomes of any negotiated peace settlement," he told the Times of India.
"We strongly support the role India has played in Afghanistan, leveraging its economic strength to improve Afghanistan's economy... in projects that will help to ensure our common goal of a stable and prosperous future for the Afghan people," he added.
Biden will fly on Wednesday to Mumbai where he is expected to hold a roundtable with business leaders and press for stronger intellectual property protection.
While trade has grown in recent years, there is still widespread frustration among US business leaders over what they see as unfair trading practices.
Among the points of contention is India's championing of generic drugs despite protests from Western drug firms.
India in turn has been alarmed by proposals in the US Congress to curb visas for high-tech workers.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and Commerce Minister Anand Sharma were both in Washington last week to pitch for investment and discuss India's readiness to open talks on a bilateral investment treaty.
Biden will be the most senior administration official to visit India since President Barack Obama visited in 2010.
While the US has been among the world powers calling for India to be given a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, observers detect a sense of drift in ties.
"India is a natural ally of the US but... relations require greasing occasionally because insecurities have crept in, especially on the Indian side," Subhash Agrawal, of the Delhi-based think tank India Focus, told AFP.
Biden will head to Singapore on Thursday, where officials say he will tackle tensions over the disputed South China Sea.

Views On Justice System's Fairness Increasingly Divided By Race, Poll Finds
Perceptions of the fairness of the U.S. justice system increasingly break down along racial lines, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.
In the poll, taken days after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the death of Trayvon Martin, 68 percent of blacks, but just 25 percent of whites, say the American justice system is biased against black people.
"Although data ... before the Zimmerman verdict was announced -- show that in a number of instances, blacks have become more positive about the status of race relations in this country, that is apparently not the case in terms of whether the justice system in this country is biased against blacks," wrote Frank Newport, Gallup's editor-in-chief.
When Gallup first asked the question in 1993, blacks' attitudes were about the same, but more whites -- 33 percent --considered the system biased then.
Gallup also found racial divides in opinions on the outcome of Zimmerman's trial. Americans overall were split, with 43 percent saying the verdict was right, and 40 percent saying it was wrong. Some 85 percent of blacks disagreed with the verdict, while 54 percent of whites agreed with the outcome.
Two other polls on the Zimmerman verdict, also released Monday, found nearly identical results.
In an ABC/Washington Post survey, 86 percent of blacks said they disagreed with the verdict, and the same number said that blacks and other minorities don't receive equal treatment under the law. Among whites, partisanship played a role, with 70 percent of white Republicans approving of the Zimmerman trial outcome, compared to 30 percent of white Democrats.
A Pew survey also found that 86 percent of blacks were dissatisfied with the verdict, and noted additional differences in how the case was perceived along racial lines. According to the report:
[N]early eight-in-ten blacks (78%) say the case raises important issues about race that need to be discussed....Just 28% of whites say the case raises important issues about race, while twice as many (60%) say the issue of race is getting more attention than it deserves...Not only do reactions to the outcome of the case vary widely across racial lines, but overall interest levels also are very different. When asked, in a separate survey, what recent news story they are talking about with friends and family, 63% of blacks volunteer the Zimmerman trial compared with 42% of whites. Nearly six-in-ten African Americans (58%) say they followed news about the verdict and reactions to the case very closely compared with 34% of whites.
The Gallup poll surveyed 2,541 adults by phone between July 16 and July 21. The ABC/Washington Post and Pew polls were both taken between July 18 and July 21, with respective sample sizes of 1,002 and 1,480.

A voice for men: MGTOW-central | A Voice for Men
Editorial note: this week we will be featuring several articles on the topic of Men Going Their Own Way, a philosophical and social movement this publication has promoted since its earliest days. To kick off this series we include this gem from Peter Wright, who?s been a MGTOW practically before anyone had heard the term, and is one of three by him we will be featuring exploring the topic, along with pieces by other authors on the same topic. Take it away, Peter!
As the highest traffic website promoting Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) values, AVfM is indisputably MGTOW-central. This site has published streams of groundbreaking essays on the topic, and has consistently promoted the lifestyle. In fact if we were to rename this website AVfMGTOW it would not be at odds with the work we do here.
While AVfM promotes MGTOW more vigorously than most, we need to acknowledge that Men?s Human Rights Activists (MHRA?s) have always promoted it in one form or another. It is no coincidence that the A in MHRA refers to advocacy, particularly self-advocacy by men and boys which is synonymous with the intent of MGTOW. So it should come as no surprise that it was two men from an early ?men?s rights? forum (Ragnar and Meikyo) who were first to give birth to the phrase Men Going Their Own Way.
Ragnar, one of the originators of the phrase describes its genesis as follows:
?You see all the ideas were floating around on the internet. We were frustrated that we couldn?t get men to build an organization, couldn?t get men to come to this damned meeting- everybody was going their own damned way, and the fact that men went their own way, we started to use that phrase and we started to talk about what?s important for men? who?s going to define their masculinity? Well, they actually have to do that themselves, they have to find out what it is for themselves. So, as you have the responsibility for your own actions, well then it?s also your responsibility to define who you are as a man.? Ragnar [1]
Back in 2010 Paul Elam agreed that MGTOW and MHRAs are one and the same. However there exists a minority who attempt to cleave MGTOW from its synonymy with the MHRM and ?offshore? it into supposedly non-MHRA enclaves. That experiment has succeeded in creating a logically false divide that doesn?t stand up to scrutiny; simply put, the self-advocacy that is central to MGTOW is, and has always been, integral to the MHRM message and cannot be separated.
More interesting is the growth of ideas that have attached themselves to the concept that make it all but impossible to define what MGTOW is. So that will be the purpose of this article ? to locate a single definition compatible with the variety of descriptions being proposed. This can be achieved by applying Occam?s razor to all extraneous ideas and dogmas that have attached themselves to MGTOW ? to those pet ideas that have hitched a ride on the core motive so that we end up with a short definition everyone agrees on.
We?ll start here with a small sample of ideas and practices that have attached themselves to the MGTOW concept that can be considered superfluous to a limited definition that is going to suit everyone. Here then are a few of those add-ons to what we will call the core definition of MGTOW:
MHRAs are not MGTOW:
This false claim is easily discounted. According to the core definition of MGTOW (see below) every MHRA is without exception a MGTOW, so the claim that these are separate orientations doesn?t prove useful for constructing a definition. Some might claim that the A in MHRA refers to the word activism and therefore must be about group political action ? hence it must also be opposed to men?s individual path to liberation. However that argument is based on a false premise, because a Google search reveals that the A refers not to activism but to advocacy ? at least for the majority who use the acronym. So the argument that MGTOW are working toward a goal opposite that of MHRAs fails miserably; it is merely an attempt to lasso the MGTOW phrase for the purposes of ownership.
MGTOW is anti ?traditionalism?:
This widespread and increasingly popular stance in the MGTOW movement was elaborated largely by Paul Elam and Barbarossaaa. Traditionalism refers to traditional gender roles for men and women, roles which most everyone in the MHRM/MGTOW movement reject as destructive to a man?s wellbeing and freedom. However a small percentage of self-described MHRAs/MGTOW do advocate traditional gender roles, especially men in the earlier MRM who were split on this question with perhaps half endorsing traditionalism and half rejecting it.
Those advocating traditional gender roles claim men can enjoy significant freedom by stipulating what they are willing to accept as a viable and fair ?role-division? in relationships with women ? a claim that can be demonstrated, they say, by a study of traditional males who embodied Sinatra?s song ?I Did It My Way.? Whatever freedom these men pretend to enjoy they are still laboring within that narrow and self-limiting paradigm that requires male utility in exchange for a woman?s charms, which means he continues to live the ?gynocentric way? even if he feels he is doing it ?his way.? The man must continue to labor outside the home and bring home the bacon, while his wife occupies herself as a homemaker. In terms of logical categories it?s obvious that traditionalism and radical male autonomy are mutually exclusive, meaning that if traditionalists want a full taste of freedom they must, by definition, look for it outside of the traditionalist template.
Since the invention of ?romantic chivalry? in the Middle Ages (and not before), MGTOW men became an exception to the new rule, and those who continued to practice it were held in suspicion, shamed and rejected by society. The new gynocentric mandates viewed free men as recalcitrant, and from that moment in history society would no longer tolerate any man opting out of his gynocentric ?duty? toward women. So I find myself in full agreement with Paul Elam and Barbarossaaa that traditionalism constitutes the antithesis of any coherent definition of MGTOW, a fact so blatant it can be considered implicit in the definition without the need state it.
Veto-MGTOW:
For some men MGTOW is demonstrated exclusively by veto power. Veto constitutes a narrow philosophical practice of negating things, which is nevertheless a perfectly acceptable expression of MGTOW. However some MGTOW tend to specialise in veto alone and have no other tool in their toolbox. About veto:
?This singular kind of power demonstrates agency dedicated wholly to negation. Its sole strength lies in its ability to frustrate the will of others? its power is wholly prohibitive, as the word originates from the Latin meaning: ?I forbid?.? [2]
Stating what you don?t accept (veto) is a simple task compared with figuring out and articulating what you do want for your life. Living the MGTOW lifestyle usually includes a mixture of positive aspiration ? such as figuring out the kind of friendships you might want to cultivate, or the career or hobby you might want to pursue ? and is not limited merely to ?I don?t want this, and I don?t believe that?. Veto-MGTOW naturally falls well short of a universal law for MGTOW.
MGTOW is anti-relationships with women:
The ?no relationships? position is supported by a small but vocal minority of the MGTOW community, and particularly by the veto-MGTOW contingent. Conversely, many MGTOW develop positive criteria for cultivating relationships with women on the basis of friendship, partnership and even marriage, relationships that may or may not include sexual relations depending on preference. For instance, in his recent discussion with Dean Esmay, Barbarossaaa ?a respected MGTOW advocate- indicated that he engages in sexual friendships with women that include going out to dinner and other fun activities. It is also well known that some MGTOWS, including several early promoters of that phrase, are happily married. The guiding principle for these men is that relations with women are workable if they can be based on creative agreements outside the usual gynocentric criteria, and can be backed with a determination to reject groupthink and societal pressure to conform to the typical male role.
Briffault?s law:
The 19th Century Marxist thinker Robert Briffault is remembered for this comment; ?The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.? This generalization has since been spun out and declared a ?law? by some, though Briffault never proposed it as a law. Since it was first coined, others have added addendums and corollaries to this ?law? which amount to little more than personal and unscientific opinions. Further, despite the current attempt in MGTOW blogger circles to revive this ?law,? a review of the scientific literature shows no support nor even a reference to ?Briffault?s Law? ? nor is it mentioned in Google Scholar, not once. If anyone can find any academic sources that take this ?law? seriously I would welcome a list of citations and will happily update this article to reflect them if provided.
A careful look at Briffault?s ?Law? shows it to be two independent statements, with the second arguably more factual than the first. However both statements are too generalized to be useful as a law; yes it often happens that women can be controlling and, for example, may turn out not to like their man?s friends (because women derive no benefit from the association) and so drive them out, but men do this too, and both sexes are hardly 100% successful in doing so. In the latter cases we are talking about highly pathological behaviors in which case Briffault?s Law might better be characterized as ?Briffault?s generalization about dysfunctional relationships.?
The implication of this ?law? for men going their own way is that, because women supposedly dictate all relationship moves, the male is better off opting out of that power imbalance. Relationships are simply a bad deal. Understandably this assumption of a biology-based female omnipotence is not something universally subscribed to by the MGTOW community and therefore cannot be considered a basis for an agreed definition.
Male mother love:
This idea suggests that men?s relationship aspirations are driven by an unconscious yearning for ?mother? love, from which all MGTOW men should attempt to liberate themselves. Oedipus complex, anyone? Whatever the real influence of ?mother? love this presents a historically tired argument for male motivation. It is one that no longer appears in the practice of psychology and for good reason; over 100 years of analysis have proven the theory of less value than first suspected, and the man who first theorized it as a ?universal complex? is thought to have suffered the complex himself. Behaviorism, psychoanalysis and the long reign of the Oedipus complex have been superseded by contemporary attachment theory which has deepened our understanding and shown that male need for attachment and affection need not be linked to that word ?mother?.
None of this is to dismiss the pivotal importance of attachment desire in males, and there is much in the so-called ?mother love? theory that warrants close and ongoing discussion. In fact the science of attachment is potentially one of the most fruitful paths of investigation for MGTOW there is. The issue here is that whilst promising, the discussion about adult attachment theory in relation to MGTOW is currently underdeveloped and is therefore of limited use as a theoretical base.
Female hypergamy:
This popular theory holds that when it comes to the mating game females can?t resist ?trading up? and therefore make unreliable mates for the long-term; it is better for men to avoid relationships with women and go their own way. A decisive piece of data confirming the practice of female hypergamy comes from a talk by Roy F. Baumeister who says that ?maybe 80% of the women but only 40% of men reproduced? throughout the history of the human race. However according to follow-up research Baumeister?s ?maybe? turned out to be incorrect and the numbers have been superseded by more recent science.
The estimates on historic male/female population sizes are based on The Most Recent Common Ancestor for both males and females. At the time Baumeister?s address where he publicized the ?findings? that 2 women reproduced for every 1 man, TMRCA for males was between 50-100 thousand years ago, and the TMRCA for females was 200,000 years ago; leading to a 2 to 1 split favouring female ancestors. Revised genetic studies have found that TMRCA for males is ~142,000 thousand years ago and the TMRCA for females is ~177,000 years ago. This means that Baumeister?s conclusion is void. There is a slight skew towards female ancestors but this may be accounted for by female exogamy and the fact that female generations are shorter than male (women have children earlier then men do). It may also be an artifact of our current level of knowledge into the matter and as our science is refined, the numbers converge.
With the revised figures the importance of the female hypergamy to MGTOW is also revised; we now see a less extreme a picture than the earlier Baumeister figures painted and, one would assume, a somewhat less relevant ideological motivation for MGTOW.
Biological reductionism:
Men are viewed by some MGTOW as eternally groveling trilobites who will not change; they are merely nerve reactions to environmental stimuli with the ultimate aim of sexual reproduction with women.
The typical biological reductionist spends 99% of his conversation promoting human behavior as biologically determined, while meagerly acknowledging (if at all) the role culture plays in inhibiting or encouraging the release of our biological urges. Despite a reluctance to recognize it, cultural control of biology is an undeniable fact; and when a person?s behaviour transgresses a social taboo, the transgressing individual stands a high chance of being incarcerated or killed by edict of the body politic. For instance if hypergamous behavior by women is subject to a taboo in a given culture, then if she transgresses it she may be (literally) stoned to death: score zero for the selfish-gene, and one for culture. Such punishment of ?anomalous? behavior sends a message to others about how much of their biological compulsions will be tolerated, and people?s behavior is adjusted to that threat accordingly. Conversely is it not true that some cultures encourage freedom of biological expression more than others? The point of these examples is that cultural dictates ?and their wide fluctuations over time? provide the more powerful factor in determining the inhibition or release of biological imperatives.
We need to be wary, then, of those who would explain human behavior as constistent and relatively changeless over long swathes of time and regardless of cultural contexts. This angle is strongly promoted by MGTOW advocate Stardusk whose primary hypothesis goes like this:
?This has been going on for millennia if not millions of years- men have always kowtowed and adhered to the desires of women, and have always been what women wanted them to be. Men have always subordinated their desire for freedom to their desire to reproduce.? [3]
Stardusk further claims that men (one assumes, aside from himself) will never change from their unconscious kowtowing ways. Not only does this hypothesis ignore the wild fluctuations in culture that saw, for example, men of classical times behave much more freely in relation to women than they did, say, in the Middle Ages, it also promotes a reductionist and patently misandric hypotheses about men that is unlikely to gain traction as an explanatory basis for MGTOW.
***
Any of these topics can serve legitimate interests for MGTOW; but the question arises of what binds these disparate ideas together? In order to find a definition of MGTOW we must find a degree of general consensus, some shared factor among the variety of perspectives, or otherwise MGTOW will end up talking about entirely different things. And if there were no common consensus here we would merely have debaters talking about different subjects; one would be talking about female hypergamy and the other would be talking about celibacy with no common ground between them.
So we will need a universally applicable definition that will fit everyone?s criteria for what MGTOW is in spite of the different perspectives that different people hold on its nature. This definition must be a limited one since it can encompass only those parts of MGTOW which all broader definitions hold in common. For this essay the definition is this: Male self-determination.
That, then, is what everybody who discusses MGTOW holds in common regarding the concept. Note in this definition there is no reference to the disputed ideas or practices listed above. Some might insist on including those ideas in the base definition ? to piggyback it with a whole range of idiosyncratic concepts ? but that is of no use here, for beyond this narrow definition people basically disagree with each other. To be as objective as possible, then, we must take only that which everybody agrees upon as the universally applicable definition.
Self-determination refers simply to the human right to determine the course of one?s life, and to apply self-advocacy in that direction. And let?s not forget that the ?A? in MHRA refers to precisely the same advocacy. Self-determination and self-advocacy were always there for men who chose it long before the MGTOW acronym provided another way to say it. We can also state that implicit in this definition is opposition to, and rejection of gynocentrism as being the antithesis of male self-determination. Men who subscribe to gynocentric directives, such as profeminist men, are subscribing to ?other-determination,? or ?determination of self by other? and need not apply for MGTOW status.
This article does three things. It carves away superfluous ideas from a core definition of MGTOW; it offers a concise definition of MGTOW; and it takes back MGTOW from those who would cleave it from its synonymy with the MHRM and AVfM.
AVfM has churned out hundreds of articles promoting self-determination for men, and it has done so more vigorously than it has commentaries and articles calling for specific political activism. If one wants to soak themselves in a MGTOW atmosphere they need go no further than this high quality MGTOW community that showcases articles and interviews on every aspect of the subject.
A further development worth announcing before signing off is the recently introduced concept (at AVfM) of Women Going Their Own Way (WGTOW) by Diana Davison. Whilst men?s struggle is unique in some respects, women too sometimes decide to break free from gynocentric oppression and these ones deserve the ?going their own way? title announcing self-determination. Women?s path to freedom is in some ways different to men?s, and in other ways not. As long as women use the ?W? I take no offence to WGTOW. In fact I applaud it as another slap in the face for feminism.
And remember, folks, you heard it here first ? at MGTOW central.

Prince William's pregnant wife Kate taken to hospital
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William's wife Kate has gone into labour and been admitted to hospital for the birth of the couple's first child, who will be third in line to the British throne, his office said on Monday.
Kate, 31, was taken to the private wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, where William himself was born in 1982.
"The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge," Kensington Palace said in a statement.
Royal sources have said Kate has planned a natural birth with William, a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter pilot based in north Wales, at her side.
The sex of the baby, who will become third in line to the throne behind grandfather Prince Charles and father William, is unknown as the royal couple wanted it to be a surprise.
The birth will be announced in the traditional way, with an envelope containing notice of the baby's details taken from the hospital to the queen's London residence, Buckingham Palace, where the news will be posted on a board at the main gates.

The Daily Troll: Banking on pot. Bill Gates' summer reading. Will the elderly pick Seattle's mayor?
Mayor's race
Barely one-third of Seattle voters will take part in the primary to select the two finalists for mayor of the city, King County elections officials estimate. After analyzing past voting patterns, The Seattle Times concluded that the skimpy voting will be "dominated by older voters." Maybe the winning pitch in the closing weeks (ballots get mailed next week) will be a promise to protect Social Security and the city's Gold Card for Healthy Aging?from budget-cutters. Candidates, get thee to the senior center.
Banking on pot
Five Washington Democrats and 13 other members of the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced a bill to ensure that pot businesses can use the U.S. banking system,?Joel Connelly reports on seattlepi.com. Without this measure, the sponsors fear, the businesses created by states' pot legalization measures might have to operate as cash-only businesses. It's called the Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act?? a name awkward enough to suggest that perhaps its chances of enactment may not be that good.
Sheriff's shooting review policies
A consultant's report released today says the King County Sheriff's Office needs better reviews of its deputies' use of firearms. The report was done in the wake of a 2012 shooting in which an unarmed man was shot 16 times by deputies looking for his roommate. The county recently paid $3 million to settle a claim of wrongful shooting in the case. Today's report finds that the officers involved in the shooting met the county's guidelines for use of force. (They thought he was reaching for a gun.) King County Sheriff John Urquhart?told KIRO-TV?that he is working on implementing the changes recommended by the report.?
Bill's summer reading
Bill Gates has put out his summer reading list. It's not light reading, starting off with Jared Diamond's "The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?"

And he is planning to read a novel this year. You can find the whole list here.
Oregon infusion for equal marriage
The Oregon campaigners for an equal marriage initiative received word today of a $250,000 donation from Freedom to Marry, a nationwide marriage equality campaign.

Renton rep joins Inslee staff
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, is leaving the House of Representatives to become an advisor on education policy for Gov.

It could lead to a good race on next year's ballot: She's in the 41st District, where a moderate Republican, Steve Litzow, serves in the state Senate. Democratic Transportation chair Rep. Judy Clibborn is the other representative.
