The logic behind prohibiting teacher-student touching

Anon User writes "The paper Risk anxiety in the classroom: teachers touching children explores the logic behind the idea that teacher-to-student touching (no matter how "innocent") must be considered suspiciously and must be avoided. (Without mentioning gender, it should be quite obvious that teachers of a certain gender have to be more careful about this...) There is the issue of avoiding false accusations, but the authors refer to the perceptions of risk and danger in society. It is said that "no touching" policies have lead to such situations as male teachers afraid to pick up injured students lying on sports fields. Basically, this report talks about why teachers end up being warned about touching students and the effects that can result from rules and fears about touching students."

"Gunmen" and "Attackers" at Russian School

CPM writes

"http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,131060,00.html

Wow! Just wow! Absolutely no mention that some of the terrorists are female. When refering to hundreds of men and just a handful of women dieing in combat, we must call them "men and women." When referring some male and some female terrorists are threatening to blow up kids, we must call them "gunmen" and "attackers". I'm sure that the ladies involved are only there to nurture."

Thomas writing now:

The threat of these "black widows" is growing, as pointed out in this article. Of course, the article goes out of its way to try to absolve these women who murder innocent civilians, including children. "There is no religious aspect to this -- it's psychological ... terrorists exploiting the misfortune of these women."

If all males had the decency to die, then every person on earth would be spiritually perfect. (Sarcasm off)

belief.net: Theology of the Body

The Pope's biographer discusses The Theology of the Body, supposedly promising to revolutionaize the Cath. church's POV on sexuality and the body. Well, we'll see.

But condemning male sexuality is still very much on the agenda. On page 4 of this epistle, one reads:

What response have you been getting specifically from women?


I do seminars specifically for women and I begin these seminars with an apology for the lusts of men and for the way that male lust has wounded the female heart.

Just great.

Canada's Supreme Court - God help us all.

Ragtime writes "Two recent vacancies in the Supreme Court of Canada had justice-minded Canadians hoping for new appointees who might show some respect for our Constitution and Charter of Rights and who would enforce law rather than try to create it to suit their personal agendas. Instead, our hopes have been cruelly dashed: at least one known radical feminist lesbian has received the nod.
Justice Rosalie Abella spells even worse times ahead for men, fathers, and boys and any right-minded citizens who oppose judical activism. The, ahem, jury is still out on the other appointee, Justice Louise Charron. CP News"

Guys fill new network lineups - more misandry - or

CJ writes "Not too long ago, the networks were obsessing over women. Is TV courting male audiences this season, after last year's ratings scare, when Nielsen Media Research announced that men age 18 to 34 were leaving TV for video games, DVDs, and the Internet (or bad programming for men - which was left out of the analysis)? The TV networks are hoping to snag viewers by showcasing the lives of men. Most of the fall's fellows deal with ambivalent feelings and they shed tears. This is in stark contrast to the cover of TV Guide's 2001 fall preview which stated - "Tough Women Rule." Lets see what happens...more misandry or is it time for gender equality in the media?
