'An Albany woman is on her way to jail right now charged with falsely reporting she was raped Wednesday morning.

A manhunt was launched after Jaques Williams reported she was raped at the Superior Creek Lodge Motel on North Slappey.

But just moments ago police charged her with making false statements and false report of a crime.'

'A first-grade teacher at a Silver Spring elementary school was charged with several counts of assault Tuesday, when authorities accused her of choking and, in some cases, punching half the 16 students in her class.

The incidents happened in December, in her class full of 6- and 7-year-old students, Montgomery County police said. None of the students was harmed seriously enough to require medical treatment or show visible injuries, law enforcement officials said.'

'Granted, the grounds for the two women’s sex accusations look pretty shaky, and Sweden’s rape laws, widely regarded as the strictest in the world, are deeply problematic. Sweden has an image as a sexually liberated society, but the idea of women’s sexual empowerment has become skewed. In Sweden, it is widely regarded as understandable for a woman to feel assaulted or taken advantage of if she hasn’t given active consent every step of the way during a sexual interaction. This outlook appears to infuse the accounts of the two Swedish women who have accused Assange of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.'

'Josh Jasper thought his television commercial, which depicts a baby as a future rapist, would teach viewers about violence prevention.

Instead, thanks to YouTube, the ad has triggered an international firestorm and death threats for the Dubuque man, who heads a nonprofit advocacy group for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.
...
The ad contrasts a smiling baby with the following script: “He’s tough. He’s strong. He’s aggressive. He’s powerful. He raped his girlfriend. But he wasn’t always this way. What are you teaching your son? …”

Jasper said the ad was intended to make a point that people are not born violent, but are conditioned to be that way. He said donations paid for the commercial, which has aired for nearly a year on televisions in northeast Iowa and parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.'

'A fundamental change to the very basis on which post-separation parenting is viewed is being urged by some members of the legal and mental-health professions while others fiercely oppose the idea.

In fact, the introduction of a presumption of continued joint custody after separation is a measure that provokes strong opinions on both sides of the argument. Garry Wise of Wise Law Office in Toronto says that bringing in a presumption of joint custody would be an “across-the-board” approach to family law reform that would reduce the number of cases coming before the courts.

“This would be the biggest solution of all. What we do not have is a legally sanctioned culture of joint parenting at the federal level under the Divorce Act or the provincial level. We have an anachronism of a custody/access-based system that evolved one or more generation ago when one parent was at home and one parent was working.'

'A common refrain among coeds these days, as college attendance and graduation rates among males are tanking across the nation.

More and more, American teenage boys seem to be falling behind their female peers in educational attainment, causing a gender schism and disrupting the social pecking order. Curiously, the drop in attendance by males seems to correspond to the rate of increase in female-headed single-parent households nationwide. The ultimately more important question might be, Where are the fathers?

In an educational system dominated by women, and with relatively few male role models in the schools, boys start to tune out of school around early adolescence; especially boys whose interests do not center around sports — the only aspect of education with a strong concentration of adult male teachers.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'A recently conducted study has stated that women tend to be generally nice in nature, whereas men have to work towards being more courteous to people. The latest finding might come off to be as unacceptable for half of the people. But, the study by researchers at the University of Edinburgh has stated that people being nice depends on their genes.

Apparently, women happen to be more pro-social and that being nice is already in their system. For the study, around 1,000 pairs of twins were quizzed on topics revolving around how happy they were to perform extra duties at work. Apart from that they were also asked, if they'd pay more for better healthcare.'

'So what is radical feminism? Historically, radical feminism was a specific strand of the feminist movement that emerged in Europe and North America in the late 1960s. Distinctive to this strand was its emphasis on the role of male violence against women in the creation and maintenance of gender inequality (as argued by the likes of Susan Brownmiller, Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon). And while a minority of radical feminists – most infamously Valerie Solanas – were hostile to men, radical feminism was much more instrumental in generating widespread support for campaigns around issues such as rape, domestic violence and sexual harassment.'

'London (CNN) -- Lawyers for Julian Assange wrapped up their case against his extradition to Sweden on Tuesday and challenged a Swedish prosecutor to "come to London" to defend her handling of the sexual misconduct allegations facing the WikiLeaks founder.

"Today, we have seen a Hamlet without the princess -- a prosecutor who has been ready to feed the media within information, but has been unwilling to come here," Assange attorney Mark Stephens told reporters outside a south London courtroom. Stephens called on Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny to attend the extradition hearing when it resumes Friday and "subject yourself to the cross-examination."'

'I am writing to ask you to protect boys from the harmful practice of male genital mutilation, also known as circumcision. As you may already know, circumcision removes the most sexually sensitive parts of a boy’s penis, including the foreskin, the frenulum, and the ridged band of nerves [1].

Article here. It has been revealed that some of the world’s pre-eminent experts on bias discovered an unexpected form of it at their annual meeting. No mention of identifying misandry as a primary social issue occurred in this (obvious) discovery, though. Excerpt:

'“This is a statistically impossible lack of diversity,” Dr. Haidt concluded, noting polls showing that 40 percent of Americans are conservative and 20 percent are liberal. In his speech and in an interview, Dr. Haidt agued that social psychologists are a “tribal-moral community” united by “sacred values” that hinder research and damage their credibility — and blind them to the hostile climate they’ve created for non-liberals.

'MASON — A female Mason high school gym teacher is accused of having sexual misconduct with five students, most of them football players at the school.

A Warren County grand jury on Friday indicted Stacy Schuler of Springboro on 16 counts of sexual battery, a third-degree felony; and three misdemeanor counts of offenses involving underage persons.

Schuler, who will turn 33 next week, allegedly had sexual contact with the students on five different occasions between August and December, according to officials with the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office. She also allegedly bought alcohol for the students, according to the indictment.'

Story here. It turns out that the maximum she could face is 61 days in jail. Prosecutors decided not to invoke the more severe anti-terrorism law after hearing the couple's story. What would have happened had this been a man? Excerpt:

'SANTIAGO, Chile – People are capable of doing many things for love. What Grace Guajardo did forced the evacuation of more than 300 people from a plane moments before takeoff.

Authorities say she phoned in a false bomb threat to keep her boyfriend from flying off to a new job.

"I'm sorry, but I did it for love," Guajardo said Monday after she was charged with making a false bomb threat.

Freed pending trial, she faces up to 61 days in jail if convicted. Prosecutors decided not to invoke the more severe anti-terrorism law after hearing the couple's story.'

From SAVE:

Attorney General Eric Holder (the first African-American to hold the position), claimed in a 2009 speech: "Intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45." (http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-091019.html) The problem with his shocking statement is that it is not true. As revealed in a recent USA Today editorial, the Centers for Disease Control reports the leading causes of death for African-American women in this age group are cancer, heart disease, unintentional injuries, and HIV disease," (http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2011-02-03-sommers04_st_N.htm)

So why has this myth remained on the Justice Department website for well over a year?

Victims of intimate violence are best served by the truth. Contact Attorney General Eric Holder today and ask him to speak honestly about domestic violence.
