Article here. Media Reference here. The Feminists deny that there really are female pedophiles, and very often claim that all men are rapists, women beaters and pedophiles. Excerpt:
'A MOTHER-of-four has been jailed for 20 years for molesting her two-year-old daughter under instructions from a teenage Walsall pervert.
Julie Carr, aged 33, filmed the horrific abuse live on a webcam from her home in Mars Hill, Maine, North East America, for Nicholas Wilde.
“What you have done is violate the most basic bond of society — the bond between a mother and her child, the bond between a mother and her daughter,” US Judge John Woodcock told Carr before sentencing her.'

'Boy culture is out of sync with school culture. There are several reasons for this, including zero tolerance policies that are too often taken to extremes, the lack of male teachers (the statistics are shocking, having dropped from 14 percent to 7 percent in the elementary classroom in the past decade), and the compression of the curriculum.
Even more, boy culture is not socially accepted more generally and, consequently, boys quickly come to feel that they aren’t good at school, where the friction tends to be the most obvious.
The results are startling — globally in the most recent set of tests, boys scored lower than girls in early literacy skills in every country tested. Several authors have done a wonderful job of explaining these problems and discussing them in clear terms, including Peg Tyre (“The Trouble with Boys”), Ralph Fletcher (“Boy Writers: Reclaiming Their Voices”) and Richard Whitmire with his work on “Why Boys Fail”: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/whyboysfail.'

'Happiness doesn't feature in the more radical agendas either, such as the New York Radical Feminists manifesto, which prescribed that women construct "healthy, independent, assertive" alternative selves, and lives. Robin Morgan saw liberation as an "oppressed people raising their consciousness toward something that is the other side of anger, something bright and smooth and cool." But not happy, per se.
Happiness isn't just a rare word. It wasn't feminism's backbeat or its implied manifesto, either.
Betty Friedan wrote in "The Feminine Mystique," Surely there are many women in America who are happy at the moment as housewives. But happiness is not the same thing as the aliveness of being fully used."'

'Prague, March 15 (CTK) - The Czech military has sent two special flights with a total capacity of 130 people to Tokyo to bring back Czechs from the earthquake and tsunami-hit Japan, with women and children having priority, Prime Minister Petr Necas and three ministers decided Tuesday.
Necas and the defence, foreign and culture ministers, Alexandr Vondra, Karel Schwarzenberg and Jiri Besser, respectively, decided that the Czech embassy in Japan will say who will board the planes, military staff spokeswoman Jana Ruzickova told CTK.'

'The editors at the Good Men Project Magazine asked if I could write a piece on the top 10 issues for men’s rights activists (MRAs). As I am only one man, I felt I could not speak for the rest of the community on how we prioritize issues. So I came up with 17 things we consider problems men face and set up a poll. (I would like to thank everyone who voted, especially from Men’s Rights Reddit.)
It is important to note that the poll is far from perfect. It has a small sample size, and the ability to pick a single issue did not go over well with many MRAs—in their mind, the goals of the movement aren’t so easily prioritized—they’re all important and interconnected. That said, while this poll isn’t perfect, it does, to some degree, reflect the distribution of priorities among those MRAs who participated.'

'This gap is being interpreted as sex discrimination by men’s rights activists. It does, in fact, have legal consequences: in 2008, a California court of appeal ruled 3-0 that domestic violence programs that offer services to only women and their children, but not to men, violate the state constitution. “These men … are similarly situated to women as to the need for domestic violence services,” wrote Justice Fred K. Morrison. The court acknowledged that women are affected by domestic violence more than men, so programs do not need to provide equal kinds of services, but must help anyone who comes to their doorstep.

'It may come as a surprise to those who feel they’ve hit the glass ceiling or heard one too many blonde jokes.
Most women do not believe that Britain is a sexist place, a poll has revealed.
Fewer than four in ten say they have experienced derogatory remarks or behaviour because of their gender.
And the majority of men and women think both sexes are equally capable of handling challenging and traditionally male tasks, such as making a safe emergency landing in an aeroplane.
The results of the survey, carried out for a group of charities and pressure groups, suggest that most women are far more concerned with solving day-to-day practical problems in their lives than fighting a battle for equality.'

'KINGS MOUNTAIN — Allan Nichols describes himself as a well-read, self-motivated native Cheesehead. He has a law degree, spent time with a chamber of commerce, was a corporate lobbyist and spends his nights teaching himself astronomy.
But, since July 2006, that hasn’t been enough to get Nichols, 58, a job.
...
And he’s not alone. Nationwide unemployment in 2001 among people 55 and older seeking full-time work stood at 442,000. In 2009, that number quadrupled to 1,624,000. And it continues to rise, with 2010 at 1,816,000.
But the story within the story is who’s out of work. Year after year, roughly 50 percent of the annual average is attributed to the white male demographic.
Nichols refers to it as a ‘manpression,’ as older, white male, experienced middle management workers can’t find footing in today’s economy.
“We were the breadwinners,” he said. “Now, we're begging for scraps.”'

I mean after a few beers obviously," to the Daily Mail mocking her as Harriet Harperson for her perceived political correctness, the verbal attacks can, at times, look like a warning to women not to enter politics.

'The bottom line, says Venker, is that, "Feminism has sabotaged women's happiness." Worse, she adds, it's flipped male-female relationships upside down. Just one example: Men more than ever are seeking love, marriage and kids while women want independence.
...
The book is controversial, especially in liberal circles, for lines like this: "Unfortunately, once feminism came along, women abandoned their pedestal in droves and decided they wanted to share the man's pedestal with him. They claimed they wanted both sexes on the same pedestal to represent equality and prove men and women are the same. Instead, they found themselves in conflict. Since there isn't enough room on a pedestal for both of them, feminists pushed men off to make room for themselves." She added, "That's not equality. That's matriarchy."

'The White House isn't the only arena in which feminists rule. The feminist elite, aka the women in the media, love to interview women who portray themselves as victims. On the "Today" show last week, Americans were introduced to Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, author of the memoir "Hiroshima in the Morning." Published by The Feminist Press, it is the story of one woman's journey toward "self-discovery" ("Eat, Pray, Love," anyone?) after leaving her husband and two boys behind en route to Japan.
During the interview, the sympathy for Rizzuto was palpable. Never mind that this mother admitted on national television that she never wanted her children in the first place. To the feminist elite – the professors, lawyers, journalists, writers, judges, actresses, bureaucrats, psychologists and activists who use their platform to promote their leftist views – women like Rizzuto are victims. "I realized that I had lost myself, and I wanted to give myself priority," she says. So Rizzuto left her husband of 20 years – as well as her two boys, ages 3 and 5.

At Iowa State we have a women's studies program that "focuses on the study of issues and scholarship relevant to women and gender, challenges existing systems of knowledge and forges new scholarship based on the centrality of gender as a category of analysis," and "seeks to improve critical thinking and to question prevailing assumptions."
