New Docs Shed Light On Air Force’s ‘Goal’ To Reduce ‘White Male Population’ Joining Officer Ranks

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Air Force finally handed over a trove of documents pertaining to its sweeping “goal” of reducing the number of white male applicants in a popular officer program after spending months stonewalling requests for their release.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown — at the time the highest-ranking member of the Air Force — issued a memorandum in 2022 that the branch was updating its racial and gender demographic goals for applicants seeking to become officers, in a bid to prioritize “diversity and inclusion.” Internal documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation include a slideshow from 2022 where the Air Force outlines racial and gender quotas and details how it hopes to “achieve” a reduced number of white males in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program.'

'The suspect, 32-year-old Bionca Ellis, has also been ordered to an inpatient treatment facility, News 5 Cleveland reported, citing court records.

Ellis was undergoing a 20-day evaluation when her doctor concluded “that the defendant is incompetent to stand trial, but that there is a substantial probability of restoration to competency within the statutory time frame if provided with a course of treatment,” according to Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas records.

Ellis is indicted on seven charges, including aggravated murder and felonious assault. While incompetent status “does not affect her charges; it pertains to her mental state now, not during the crime,” the report states.

Why Women Only Make Up One-Third of Tech Industries

Article here. Excerpt:

'The number of women working in STEM has grown by 31% since 2011; however, only about 30 percent of the tech sector comprises women. This begs the question: Why is there so little representation?

From the early stages of their education, women are frequently given fewer chances in STEM fields than men. Societal influences impact this discrepancy, as stereotypes, although disproved, suggest that boys excel in math and science and continue to persist in educational institutions and households. A recent study by UNESCO revealed that women represent over 30 percent of the global STEM workforce — a striking disparity highlighting the limited opportunities accessible to them in these fields.

Grieving Corey Comperatore and Honoring Healthy Masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'The world is mourning the tragic death of Corey Comperatore, a volunteer fireman and family man who was gunned down at former President Trump’s campaign rally on Saturday in Pennsylvania.

A bullet intended for the 45th president struck the head of Comperatore, who had thrown himself over his wife and daughters, acting as a literal human shield.

Calling him a “real-life superhero,” one of the heartbroken daughters, Allyson Comperatore, remembered her father as “the best dad a girl could ask for.”

“He threw my mom and I to the ground,” she wrote on social media. “He shielded my body from the bullet that came at us. He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family.”

Australia: Why golf club member was banned for dressing up as a woman - sparking sexism storm

Article here. Excerpt:

'A sexism row has erupted at one of Australia's most prestigious gold clubs after a male player was suspended for dressing up as a woman in protest against a cheaper deal for females.

A male member of Victoria's 13th Beach Golf Links, which hosts the Victorian Open, presented at the golf course's reception desk in a dress and a wig, telling staff he now identified as a woman.

The player and an individual who filmed the video of him approaching the desk, both aged in their 70s, plus another member, have all been suspended by the club.

According to the Herald Sun, a petition among club members is now circulating whereby they are calling for the removal of Grant Phelps, the club's chairman, 'primarily over this issue'.

Explaining the reason for the suspension, general manager Rob Hurley said the trio allegedly breached club policies 'in that they treated staff with disrespect, filmed them without their consent, and then published that video on a messaging service.

England’s national parks overseen by ‘bloated’, mostly white male boards

Article here. Excerpt:

'The boards that oversee England’s national parks are bloated, dominated by men and are severely lacking in diversity, a Guardian analysis has found. The analysis also found that farmers outnumber conservation experts by two to one, nature is rarely on the agenda at board meetings and only one national park can account for the ownership of all the land it covers.

Campaigners said a major overhaul of how national parks were governed was “fundamental” to the recovery of nature in the parks and to serving the public, for whom they were set up.'

Are gender quotas in schools sabotaging success for girls? Bulgaria’s controversial policy puts boys ahead

Article here. Excerpt:

'Bulgaria’s education system has been shaped by gender quotas since the 1960s, aiming for a 50/50 gender balance in classrooms. These quotas were initially created to encourage girls to enter traditionally male-dominated fields, such as science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM). However, our findings suggest that these policies might be doing more harm than good, especially for female students during the high school admissions process.

Despite their original intent, these quotas can sometimes force admissions officers to favour boys—even if they have lower academic scores—to meet the desired gender balance. This has led to situations where girls, who make up 56 per cent of the student population, struggle to get into their preferred schools.

Australia: Julia Gillard urges Labor to retain 50% female target, warning women still at risk of being dragged back

Article here. Excerpt:

'Julia Gillard is urging the Labor party to never remove its 50% female target for parliamentary candidates despite surpassing it federally, warning there are forces – especially in the “toxic sewer” of social media – which can still drag women back.
...
She said having women as 52.4% of Labor’s parliamentary caucus will naturally make it easier for a woman to rise into leadership. It also helped that people generally – and the media in particular – were more conscious now of how women are treated in politics.'

UConn ‘first-year women’ program faces federal complaint

Article here. Excerpt:

'The University of Connecticut faces a federal civil rights complaint for an “innovators” program that is only open to females.

The public university in Storrs operates a “First-Year Women Werth Innovators cohort” which includes money, networking, and mentoring opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs. While men can apply for similar programs as sophomores and juniors, there is no equivalent for freshmen males.

Civil rights activist Mark Perry shared with The College Fix a copy of the recent complaint he filed with the Department of Education. He says the program “illegally excludes and discriminates against non-female, first-year students based on their sex and gender identity.”

He cites several examples of how the program’s language is only directed at women.'

Misogyny vs misandry

Article here. Excerpt:

'I’m sure that you’ve heard women say, “I hate it that I love him so much for he’s really horrible.” To step it up a notch though, there are people who really hate the opposite sex.

In a man’s case it’s called misogyny, where the man actually hates women like poison, and all that they stand for. That term has been bandied about for centuries and is very well known.

What we hardly hear about though is misandry wherein women hate men — which is ironic — for real or imagined, the perception is that more women hate men than the other way around, or so it would seem. This is based on the constant uttering from women who dedicate their lives to cussing men, calling them worthless, deadbeat, irresponsible, mean, and other names not fit for airplay.

“Man, all my wife do is cuss me every day, morning noon and night.”

Jerry Nadler promises higher taxes for ‘rich white men’ if Democrats take Congress

Article here. Excerpt:

'Rep. Jerry Nadler promised this week that rich white men will “certainly” be hit with higher taxes should Democrats retake Congress.

The longtime New York lawmaker made the apparently serious vow to comedian Lionel McGloin, who posed as a fluttering social media influencer on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he was credentialed as a reporter by The Free Press.

“Can we please this year — It’d be so brat — have a higher tax rate for rich white men?” McGloin asked a seated Nadler during an interview posted to YouTube Friday.

“Well, if you have a Democratic Congress, we certainly will,” Nadler said.

McGloin responded enthusiastically, “Yeah, baby, tax those rich old whities!”'
