I simply didn't know what to list this under so I chose 'News'; it could have been 'Inequality' or maybe even 'Humor', but to the publicly condemned men who are mentioned in the article, there is I am sure nothing funny about it. Well we are talking about N. Korea here so there's no end of discussion we could have about abrogated human rights. But I do wonder if they also have a similar campaign devised to exhort women to wear their hair in a "womanly" fashion? One thing's for sure: stuff like this confirms my belief that the world is a strange place and getting yet more stranger with each passing day.

bandersnatch writes "From WAFB 9, We all know about high school bullying but have you heard of cyber-bullying? It's real and three Loranger High School students have been arrested for it. You're looking at computer equipment confiscated as part of the Attorney General's High Tech Crimes Unit investigation.
They say the bullying started when a 15-year-old female student created a website picking on a 14-year old male student. He responded with his own site featuring poems with threatening language. A concerned parent alerted the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff, and he contacted authorities. One student, 18-year old Joseph Sanchez, was arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor; he helped the younger male set up and maintain his website. Was the girl disciplined for her website and teasing? There's no mention of it in the article but my money's on the bet she hasn't nor will she."

Linucs writes "Somebody is doing the math over the latest Washington Post stunt over the VAWA."

Clancy writes "In the news. 2 examples of sexual abuse coupled with the fact that they are both teachers, and women. What are the odds? What are the odds that either will serve time?

Article 1 and
Article 2"

bandersnatch writes "Article 3, A Bay City high school teacher was arrested and charged with having sex with a student, Local 2 reported in an exclusive story Wednesday. Janay Willson, 31, was indicted on two counts of sexual assault of a child. Matagorda County officials said she had a sexual relationship with the 16-year-old male student in December 1999 and January 2000 but it did not come to light until 2004. The student has since graduated. As usual, it's not rape or sexual assault but "having sex" with a minor."

I've also found another article or two you might be interested in,

Article 4 and
Article 5
. Perhaps we should start gender profiling women teachers, after all it's for the children.

Rand T. writes "An article about the pro-feminist bias in scientific research of sex-differences and the media that report it:

Anonymous User writes "The Boston Herald ran an article titled "Judge to hubby: Forget prenup, pay up" in their December 30, 2004 edition. The first sentence of the article sums it all up nicely: "In a possibly precedent-setting case, the state Appeals Court has ruled that an ex-wife is entitled to alimony even though she signed a prenuptial agreement waiving it." The upshot? Men: don't get married!"

dschmidt writes "The Associated Press is reporting that a Houston Judge has overturned Andrea Yates' conviction for murdering her children (all boys)."

NPR has a piece on how Wells College in upstate New York is going co-ed. The audio clip is available form this page.

Amazing, some of the comments to be heard, all the while the interviewer speaks with a tone of sympathy in her voice. When all-male schools went co-ed in the 1960s, few in the press seemed sympathetic to the complaints of male students. More of the same: Boys bad, girls good.

Well, didn't we just have to expect it? Here it is, gang. Surprised it took them this long, actually.

Roy writes "The N.O.W. site has posted their typical P.C. feminazi take on the recent three-part series in the Washington Post on pregnancy and homicide.

Note all the usual feminist deceptions ... omit critical information, selectively quote the so-called research, ignore voluminous rebuttals and even the Post's own admission that the articles were poorly written, and finally, lay the groundwork for yet another DV myth and the necessary hysteria.

It's the usual standard of integrity we've come to expect from the Stalinist sisterhood, though one might agree with N.O.W.’s concluding statement – "It's not too late to save the next victim..." .. OF FEMINIST LIES!

Garth writes "Two teens, a mother and father to be, decide to end a pregnancy using the do-it-yourself method. Guess who gets arrested?"

Linucs writes "Straight from the Military.com: "The Josephson Institute of Ethics, after conducting a national survey, found that “43 percent of high school and 37 percent of middle school boys believe it is ok to hit or threaten a person that makes them angry.” The same survey found that “75 percent of all boys and over 60 percent of all teenage girls said they hit someone in the last 12 months because they were angry.” These are the same students that are recruited into the Army. Think these anger issues are resolved before they enter the military? Think they won’t be a problem in the future? Think again." At last, we found the other half of violence..."

Interesting page on the NYTimes.com site. A reporter interviewed a number of scientific persons regarding decidedly non-scientific topics via the question "What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?" and came up with some fascinating replies. The last one in particular was quite noteworthy. Click the "Read more..." link for it.
