University continues female-only awards despite signing legal agreement to include all genders

Article here. Excerpt:

'Northwood University, which has run a female-only award program since 1970, appears to be ignoring a legal agreement it signed in January to open the program to all eligible individuals regardless of sex.

Civil rights watchdog Mark J. Perry told The College Fix via email that Northwood openly defied the legal agreement with its Sept. 13 announcement of the five latest female recipients of the Distinguished Women Awards.

He added the university, a private Michigan-based institution, even expanded the awards by introducing the new Distinguished Young Women category.

Scholars to study why $365M DEI investment into STEM failed to diversify engineering

Article here. Excerpt:

'The National Science Foundation has tapped a set of scholars to study one of its programs that funneled $365 million into diversifying STEM, but appears to have had little effect in the field of engineering.

The $300,000 grant doled out by the National Science Foundation will investigate factors influencing Broadening Participation Initiatives, or BPIs, which aim to increase the participation of women and other underrepresented groups in STEM.

The grant was recently awarded to the University at Buffalo’s Matilde Sánchez-Peña, an assistant professor of engineering education.

An article published by the University at Buffalo’s news center highlights how Sánchez-Peña and her colleagues will use their recently awarded NSF grant to “study why, despite 20 years of investment, woman [sic] make up only 20% of engineering students and tenure-track faculty.”'

Claudia Goldin wins Nobel economics prize for work on gender pay gap

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Harvard professor Claudia Goldin has won the Nobel economics prize in recognition of her groundbreaking work examining wage inequality between men and women.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Monday that Goldin’s research “provided the first comprehensive account of women’s earnings and labour market participation through the centuries” to reveal “the causes of change, as well as the main sources of the remaining gender gap”.

She becomes only the third woman to win the prize, after Elinor Ostrom in 2009 and Esther Duflo in 2019. The prestigious award is worth 11m Swedish kronor (£819,000).'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Syracuse University faculty and staff members from the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), recently returned from Jacksonville, Florida, where they hosted a record-breaking turnout for the 26th installment of the Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (V-WISE) conference. The cohort for this unique training program is exclusively composed of women who are either veterans themselves or military spouses with aspirations to launch or expand their small businesses.

V-WISE is held biannually across the United States, and while this wasn’t the first time the conference was held in Jacksonville, this cohort turned out to have the largest in-person turnout of more than 190 women actively participating in the three-day conference.'

Media Smeared Trevor Bauer. And Now Has Little To Say

Article here. Excerpt:

'Ken Rosenthal is among the most influential baseball writers in the industry. He now writes for The Athletic. Each organization reads what it has to say. And his stance on the matter was clear: Bauer should be out of the league over the unproven allegations.

“Dodgers’ decision to cut ties with Trevor Bauer shouldn’t have been difficult at all,” Rosenthal headlined a column last January criticizing the team for not releasing Bauer sooner.

What did Rosenthal write this week after Bauer publicized the accuser’s damning text messages?

Nothing. He didn’t write anything.

About the same can be said about ESPN. Its article Monday referenced Bauer’s video but excluded the part where Hill acknowledged her plan to make Bauer her “next victim.”

Elsewhere, Sarah Spain sent out several tweets calling for Bauer to be suspended in 2021.

“Looking at the case’s details, the extensive police report and graphic photos, there’s more than enough reason Bauer shouldn’t be on the mound Sunday,” posted Spain.

Corrupt Media Declared Trevor Bauer Guilty Until Proven Innocent — And Ruined His Life

Article here. Excerpt:

'It’s one thing for media outlets to report on allegations of sexual assault in an informative fashion. But that’s clearly not what happened in Trevor Bauer’s case — or any other high-profile accusations leveled within the past several years.

Since the rise of the #MeToo movement, corporate media propagandists have taken it upon themselves to become the ultimate arbiters of truth when it comes to allegations of sexual misconduct. No longer are the accused “innocent until proven guilty” or given their day in court. Instead, hack-tivist “journalists” decide whether someone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Look no further than the confirmation of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh. When faced with an onslaught of baseless allegations of sexual assault from more than 30 years ago, Kavanaugh was slandered and proclaimed guilty by legacy media before being able to defend himself and before the facts of each case were presented to the public.

Braves legend Tom Glavine addresses Trevor Bauer saga, "I would not want to be playing any professional sport in today's world"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Atlanta Braves great and MLB Hall of Famer Tom Glavine spoke with OutKick's Dan Dakich on Don't @ Me With Dan Dakich and Bauer came up. Glavine's perspective on the timing and the length of the suspension was interesting, especially in light of Bauer's revelation in the video that he was never charged despite investigations by multiple law enforcement bodies and won the only court case that was brought against him:

“You can't go back in time and put in and be three years younger and play. I think there needs to be a little bit of a conversation about how we handle these things, because in the end, there is a chance that the guys that are being accused didn't do anything wrong or they get found they’re not doing anything wrong and you can't get that time back. So I'm not sitting here and suggesting that I know the answer, but I just feel for guys when they get into a situation like that, it seems like the knee jerk reaction immediately now is, oh, we have to do something because it's, it's kind of a hot topic issue, so to speak.”'

Author, theology professor Owen Strachan says feminism, 'wokeness' behind cultural 'war on men'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Feminism and wokeness have accomplished nothing less than the destabilization of civilization.”

Owen Strachan isn’t mincing words when it comes to what he says is the dual-headed cultural assault on biblical masculinity.

Rather, for Strachan, a research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theology Seminary and author of The War on Men: Why Society Hates Them and Why We Need Them, the rise of “toxic masculinity” is actually symptomatic of larger threats.

“Feminism, paganism, and godless wokeness have attacked strong manhood relentlessly for decades now,” he told The Christian Post via email. “These evil ideologies have had a ferocious effect on the home, the church and society. They have weakened men to breaking point.

“If you weaken men, it turns out, you weaken everyone.”

'Unconscious' sexism is killing women with cancer in 'prime of their life' as major report demands a 'feminist approach' to treating disease

Article here. Excerpt:

'Sexism is leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths from preventable cancers every year, a new report claims.

'Unconscious' gender biases and discrimination are hindering women's access to cancer prevention, care and treatment, which is lowering their chance of survival, according to a report into gender inequalities in cancer.

A team of international researchers, who studied women and cancer in 185 countries, found 800,000 women worldwide, including 24,000 in the UK, are dying needlessly every year as a result.

The Lancet Commission criticised the narrow focus on 'women's cancers', with conversations focusing on breast and cervical forms of the disease and neglecting lung and bowel cancer — two of causes of cancer death among women globally.

They called for a 'feminist approach' to the disease to boost diagnoses and care, warning that women are dying 'in the prime of their life'.'

'Why then isn’t misogyny a straightforward hate crime?

If an individual says on television that they wouldn’t want to shag you because you’re black / brown / Jewish / Muslim / Irish, etc, they are not just being vile, but liable for prosecution.

However, say it about a woman on the basis of her womanhood, and she’s fair game.

There are no legal repercussions for the hatred of women, unless you actually rape or kill one.'

UK: Drunk dental receptionist who groped schoolboy, 13, is spared jail

Article here. Excerpt:

'A dental receptionist sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy after she began chatting him up at random following a white wine binge.

Jade Berry, 27, was staggering through Rivacre Valley Country Park in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, at 9pm when she accosted the child as he sat on a woodland bench talking with a friend about his forthcoming 14th birthday.

Berry sat between the two boys and began stroking the 13-year-old's genitals over his clothing before offering him sex and saying she would 'ride you till morning'.

As the shocked youngster and his friend got up to leave, she pulled down her trousers and exposed herself before passing out in a drunken stupor.

The two boys took videos of Berry before getting up to leave. She was identified after leaving her bank card and phone on the bench.'
