'With few exceptions, girls who have wanted to play high school sports in Ontario over the years have had to do so on girls' teams, if one was available.

No more.

As of last week, girls now have carte blanche to play on boys' teams if they can make it. Even when a girls' team is available.

The decision stems from the case of a Waterloo high school student who filed a human rights complaint recently after her demand to play on the boys' soccer team was denied. As the process rolled on, Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations lawyers decided they were going to lose the fight, so the organization relented before legal precedent was set. A negotiated settlement allowed it to write its own policy rather than being force-fed the wording.
...
OFSAA's executive director Doug Gellatly says the new policy -- which he was against -- raises a number of issues.

Start with the obvious question before it's even asked: No, Gellatly says, if a girl takes a boys' spot on a team, a boy can't try out for a girls' squad in return.

'BANGALORE: The government will be working towards making laws gender neutral in the next four years, Union minister of law and justice M Veerappa Moily said on Sunday.

He also said after legislating the Right to Education Act the government will soon come up with a Food Security Act.

“We have already passed the Right to Education Act and Food Security Act is coming shortly,” Moily said while inaugurating a three-day 'Civil Society Summit: The state of the Indian Republic @ 60', here. Observing that a number of laws were gender-biased, he said “they (laws) should become gender neutral and I assure you in the next four years this will be done.” '

This has been a demand from Indian MRAs and Indian feminists are upset. Yesterday, I was talking to a feminist legal scholar from the local Law College. She claims that DV laws in many US states are still gender-specific. As far as I know, California was the only state with gender-specific DV laws, and that was before `Woods v Shewry'.

The sick bodies of men are expendable, are irrelevant, are ignored. The fact that these male bodies are increasingly looking like female bodies should be setting off big-time alarms with the powers that be, such as the Environmental Protection Agency. But no, it is men who are disproportionately being affected, so these powers that be just ignore it. How short sighted... our misandrist chemical-laden industrialized society is on its way to wiping out the human race (and many other species in the process).

'For nearly two decades prosecutors and judges have maintained that Frank Sterling — and not Mark Christie — murdered a 74-year-old woman as she walked along an abandoned railway bed in Hilton.

Today, a judge freed Sterling after prosecutors and defense lawyers revealed that Christie has now admitted to the Nov. 29, 1988, murder of Viola Manville.

“Our justice system’s goal is to assure that only the guilty are convicted,” state Supreme Court Justice Thomas Van Strydonck said this afternoon when agreeing to reverse Sterling’s 1992 conviction for the Manville murder. “This case and others demonstrate that ours remains an imperfect system.”

While not stating definitively in court that Sterling is innocent, District Attorney Michael Green said admissions from Christie coupled with genetic evidence from the homicide convinced him that Sterling should go free. The investigation has now been reopened.

Christie is now imprisoned for the 1994 strangulation of Kali Ann Poulton.

'A North Miami Beach man who police believe may have been a victim of the drug 'em and rob 'em female thieves doesn't want what happened to him to happen to anyone else.

"No matter how wide open your eyes are, open them wider," said the unidentified 45-year-old man Thursday. "[I felt] definitely violated and vulnerable."

The man, who wants his identity hidden, said he was the victim of a couple of smooth female crooks who lure men in with a drink, drug them and rob them blind.

It was November 2009 when the victim met the woman and a friend at Set Night Club in South Beach. They danced, they dined and they drank.

In all, six designer watches were missing, along with about $26,000 in cash.

The victim thought it might be an isolated incident until reports surfaced this week of a string of similar robberies happening throughout South Florida.

'Motherhood is supposed to be like apple pie and a warm hug. Wholesome. Dependable.

But online, it can be anything but. Right next to support groups on diaper rash and the terrible twosare mean girls, all grown up.

It's mom on mom cyberbullying and as the popularity of mommy blogging rises, so do the often stinging criticisms.

A mom who asks about baby bottles is called "a cop out" and "uneducated" for not breastfeeding. Working moms are "selfish" and co-sleeping moms are labeled "irresponsible" online.

"There's a lot of insecurity, a lot of confusion, resentment, just about being a mother," psychiatrist and mommy blogger Janet Taylor told "Good Morning America." "There's a sense of 'I have to be better than you and I'm going to prove it by writing negative things.' Not supporting, just writing negative things."'

'Orange County has awarded Harbor House of Central Florida a $50,000 grant to help build Central Florida’s first kennel for pets of domestic violence victims.

The grant will be awarded from the Animal Services Trust Fund, which sustained by donations.

The kennel at Harbor House will house up to 20 pets of shelter residents and will be one of 37 known nationwide in the American Humane Pets and Women’s Shelter program.

In addition to the kennel, the agencies’ implementation of the PAWS program includes a first-responder transport that enables Animal Services officers to take abuse victims’ pets to Harbor House’s on-kennel, vaccinate them and evaluate them for injuries. In cases where animal abuse is suspected, Animal Services will launch a cruelty investigation.

Up to 75 percent of domestic violence victims report their batterers have threatened, harmed or killed their pets, and nearly 80 percent of violent incidents occurred in the presence of women and children.'

'Domestic and sexual violence is a men's issue, not a women's issue, said a U.S. educator, author and filmmaker in Victoria last week as part of Prevention of Violence Against Women Week.

"Men, and masculinity itself, have been rendered invisible in conversations about domestic and sexual violence," said Jackson Katz [link added], co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention program, a widely used domestic- and sexual-violence prevention program in U.S. colleges and professional athletics.

Issues such as sex assault, domestic violence, sexual harassment and sexual abuse of children have historically been regarded as women's issues "that some good men help out with," he told a conference hosted by the Ending Violence Association of B.C. at the Fairmont Empress hotel.

'Hundreds of job-seekers did just that in Queens in the hopes of landing a coveted union job.

Construction workers, engineers, electricians -- hundreds spent the weekend right here. Many left with a job application, while many others walked away empty-handed.

"The sky's the limit after this!" said Aaron Johnson of Mount Vernon.

Johnson is living month-to-month, struggling to pay the bills, with a 4-year-old daughter to support -- and he was one of the lucky ones.

After three days of sleeping on the street, he left with one of just 750 job applications handed out for a position as an elevator technician apprentice -- a secure job with pension and benefits and an earning potential up to $40 an hour.

'Dr. Phil did an hour long special called “Crisis in Family Court” on April 14. The view put forward both by Dr. Phil and his various guests was that mothers were losing custody of their children to abusive fathers, and that the courts were favoring fathers even when there is strong evidence that they are violent or have sexually abused their children.
...
While Dr. Phil is correct to publicize these tragic cases, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, most parental murders of children are committed by mothers, not by fathers. Dr. Phil could have had a similar show featuring fathers whose children were murdered by the children’s mothers, at times after fathers had tried to warn courts. It is misleading to only focus on murdering fathers when there are, in fact, more mothers who kill their children than fathers.

'WINDSOR, Ont. -- A mother who says she turned her teenage son over to the Children's Aid Society to get him needed help is suing after his foster mother was charged with having a sexual relationship with him.

The mother, who can't be named to protect the boy's identity, is acting on her son's behalf. She is suing the Windsor-Essex Children's Aid Society and the foster parents in whose care her son was placed. In allegations yet to be tested in court, she is seeking $450,000 in damages.
...
The mother says the CAS, knowing she was grieving and in a "fragile" emotional state, convinced her it would be in her son's best interest to be placed with a foster family. The arrangement was to be temporary, and she still had contact with her son.

But soon after the October 2008 placement, the mother "became concerned about his behaviour and aspects of his care." She said she went to CAS workers assigned to her son's case, but they "ignored her concerns."

'Neither should one expect some education professor in a university, still using moldy old yellowed lecture notes from the 1970s, to be brave enough to suggest that male students are not being well served in our schools today. I believe there is a healthy fear that they will be perceived as politically incorrect if they skate out on the thin ice that suggests males are being discriminated against in our schools.

The data clearly show that the achievement gap between boys and girls is widening in high schools, and attention should be given to this phenomenon.

In spite of this, anyone reading educational literature will find people still writing papers claiming that girls are being short-changed in our schools, while girls continue to outperform their male classmates.

I am aware of the achievement gap data, but I don’t claim to know why the gap exists and is widening.
