'Although creating a separate field of study called “men’s studies” would be redundant expanding women’s studies into gender studies would not be remiss. Recently, colleges across the nation have created concentrations known as either male or men’s studies in response to women’s studies. But this is the incorrect reaction. These majors tend to denounce or demean the topics broached in women’s studies classes, instead of working with them and finding relevant parallels.

Living in a society that is male-dominated means that many fields already inadvertently stem from “male studies” – textbooks are mostly written by men and thus have a male perspective. History classes almost always focus on men, and therefore has a male perspective. Creating men’s studies is only going to cause a greater divide between the genders and create more misunderstanding. Studies about men and masculinity should not be pitted against studies about women and femininity. Both can coexist and be discussed together.

'A female teacher from a Broward middle school has been busted for having an illicit relationship with a 14-year-old student after the boy's girlfriend found out the two were having sex.

Police said the teen boy confessed to his girlfriend after she found several text messages suggesting there was a relationship between the boy and their computer teacher. The girl had suspected the boy was cheating on her.

Kirsten Sullivan, 25, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of sexual battery on a minor and one count of sex offense against a minor. She bonded out of Broward County jail Wednesday.
...
They first had sex in a computer storage room at the school, the boy told police and would sometimes have sex at least three times in a day.

Sullivan also gave the boy gifts like a mobile phone, jewelry and cash, police said. The police report also claims the woman bought the teen marijuana and that Sullivan may have been impregnated by the teen.'

'The test result was there in black and white but even so, James did not want to believe it: “Based on the genetic testing results ... the alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the child. The probability of paternity is 0%.” In other words, his beloved 17-year-old daughter Ella wasn’t his after all.

It was something James had suspected but the reality was crushing — he commissioned a second DNA test, with a different laboratory, hoping there might have been a mistake. That test, too, confirmed he could not be Ella’s father.

“It was devastating,” he says. “People say to me ‘she’s still your daughter’ but it’s not the same. I said to Ella myself when I got the results, ‘This won’t change anything,’ but it does, of course it does.”

'Are combat veterans more prone to suicide?

That’s a controversy that has heated up as the United States last year lost almost as many military personnel to suicide as to combat.

In November, the nonpartisan Congressional Quarterly reported that more active-duty military personnel committed suicide (334) in 2009 as of Nov. 24 than were killed in Afghanistan (297) or Iraq (144) that year. The Army’s active-duty suicide rate doubled from nine per 100,000 in 2001 to 20.2 per 100,000 in 2008, a number comparable with the general population. And those figures don’t take into account veterans like Jesse Huff who have been discharged from active service.
...
Dr. Ethan Bean, a staff psychiatrist in the primary care clinic at the Dayton VA Medical Center, said combat soldiers may be in a higher-risk category because men are six times more likely to commit suicide than women. “A lot of veterans also possess firearms, so they have easy access to that method of suicide,” he added.

'Indeed, the Democrats and their feminist allies have decided on one of their major goals. It is to increase the number of single moms by increasing the flow of taxpayer-paid incentives that subsidize the non-marriage lifestyle.

The plan also includes locking in this group's dependence on government and allegiance to the Democratic Party. The plan is conveniently set forth in a 60-page document called "Advancing the Economic Security of Unmarried Women" just published by John Podesta's left-wing think tank called Center for American Progress.

The Democrats know that 70 percent of unmarried women voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 election. It's obviously part their political game plan to reward that group and keep it in the Obama column.

'Born out of reaction to the current women’s and men’s studies, the male studies field was officially established at Wagner College on April 7. According to InsideHigherEd.com, a group of scholars congregated at Wagner College in Staten Island to announce the creation of the Foundation for Male Studies. The foundation will support a conference and journal aimed at exploring the struggles and celebrating the triumphs of men. “Based on the same theories as women’s studies [it] is grouped together with [women’s studies] as gender studies,” the website says.

Another distinction between men’s and male studies is that it targets all ages. The foundation’s website states that male studies is a “multidisciplinary study of the male human being, boys and men,” whereas, “men’s studies, by definition, has focused on fully grown men.” The discipline will recognize all the various interpretations of males based on culture and the foundation notes that male studies is not a strictly western discipline.

'Boys don’t cry, especially when they grow up into men who are hit by their women. As stories of battered men come out of the closet, it’s clear that more and more women are losing control and giving in to their wild side.

Tales of rudeness, shouting and violent outbursts are more in the news. Recently, two Iranian women in Bangalore beat up a traffic cop; almost a week later, a drunk woman in Bangalore hit an auto-rickshaw driver.

'As many as one in five healthy young men between the ages of 18 and 25 produce abnormal sperm counts. Even the sperm they do produce is often of poor quality. In fact only between 5 and 15 per cent of their sperm is, on average, good enough to be classed as "normal" under strict World Health Organisation rules – and these are young, healthy men. By contrast, more than 90 per cent of the sperm of a domestic bull or ram, or even laboratory rat, are normal.

'Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed was cleared today of twice raping a student six months after his wife died from cervical cancer.

Tweed, 22, was accused of attacking the 19-year-old blonde while estate agent Anthony Davis, 26, held the bedroom door shut and said: 'Don't worry, Jack, I've got the door, do what you've got to do.'

But a jury at east London's Snaresbrook Crown Court took just 15 minutes to clear the club promoter after he insisted the teenager had consented to sex at his bachelor pad in Woodford Green, Essex.
...

Davis admitted lurking in the shadows of the bedroom before joining in but insisted the girl was willing to take part in three-way sex.

A former crimper at Hob Salon in Loughton, Essex, Davis denied holding the door and claimed the girl said: 'Yeah, I'm fine' when her friends asked after her.

Story here. Just try this on women and see what the response is. At least the Times did a story on it but I doubt it is because they are that sympathetic with the soldiers. They are not as we know a big supporter of the cause. I have a suggestion for the Army: Try actually treating these traumatized men for their emotional injuries instead of heaping further abuse on them. What a novel concept! Excerpt:

'COLORADO SPRINGS — A year ago, Specialist Michael Crawford wanted nothing more than to get into Fort Carson’s Warrior Transition Battalion, a special unit created to provide closely managed care for soldiers with physical wounds and severe psychological trauma.

A strapping Army sniper who once brimmed with confidence, he had returned emotionally broken from Iraq, where he suffered two concussions from roadside bombs and watched several platoon mates burn to death. The transition unit at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs, seemed the surest way to keep suicidal thoughts at bay, his mother thought.

'President Obama, delivering a eulogy Sunday for the 29 workers who died in a West Virginia coal mine explosion, said their deaths should serve as a call to action to improve mine safety and prevent a similar tragedy from ever happening again.

Obama and Vice President Biden met privately with the families who lost loved ones before closing the memorial service with their remarks.

The president said in his eulogy that letters have poured into the White House since the April 5 disaster at the Upper Big Branch mine. "They make a simple plea: don't let this happen again," Obama said.

The president questioned how a country that relies on miners could "fail" in its duty to protect them, but said that must change.

'For the second time in five months, a Muncie woman has been accused of lodging a false rape accusation against a male acquaintance.

Amber May Foster, 22, 221 N. Hackley St., early Wednesday gave police a signed statement alleging that a male roommate had tried to sexually assault her.

However, under further questioning, Foster admitted that she and her boyfriend had made up the allegation after the roommate had "accused one of them of stealing food from him," according to Amoreena Kessler, a city police officer.

Foster and Michael Anthony Franks, 23, same address, were preliminarily charged with false reporting, a Class D felony carrying a standard 18-month prison term.

Foster was also charged with false informing last November after police said she had falsely claimed an ex-boyfriend had raped her.'

'A McCalla teen is under arrest after authorities say she made up a story that she was raped to avoid getting in trouble for being out past her curfew.

Her tale of being attacked at a service station made its way onto the internet and grew to the point where rumors spread that the same type of incident had occurred two other times over the past week, said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Randy Christian.

"At the very least it caused serious concerns and some panic in that area and also had the potential to damage the reputation of area businesses," Christian said.

Brittany Krider, 18, is charged with giving false information to law enforcement. She was booked into the county jail Tuesday and released on $5,000 bond.'

'A MAN cleared by a jury of raping a pensioner says his life has been ruined by the false accusation.

And George Northam is now calling for rape suspects not to be named unless they are convicted.

The 29-year-old, from Exeter, overcame an intense crown court trial last month, but now says he is continuing to suffer despite being acquitted of the charge.

He has decided to break his silence to reveal the trauma of being wrongly accused of rape — and to say why he feels his identity should not have been made public.

The jury unanimously found Mr Northam not guilty of rape within hours of retiring to consider its verdict.

He told the court the woman had imagined the sex attack.

But despite being told he was free to go by the judge, Mr Northam said that he stepped out of the courtroom into a world where he lives in fear of ridicule.'

'This is the drunken liar whose false rape claim almost wrecked the life of a grammar school pupil.

Lying Lindsay Gorman, known as Linzi, sparked a huge manhunt when she told police she had been sexually assaulted late at night in Belfast's Botanic Gardens in April 2008.

The 20-year-old from the plush Walnut Hollow area of Larne had, in fact, had drunken consensual sex with two different men in bushes at the park.

But detectives believed her pack of lies and a short time later arrested Campbell College student Mark McLean.

In June 2008, the innocent 18-year-old from east Belfast appeared in court charged with rape.'
