'Tony Little said that the different sexes required different teaching methods to bring out students' potential and that GCSEs favour girls more than boys.

He also blamed teachers for failing to realise that boys are "more emotional" than girls, despite the fact that girls "turn on the waterworks".

Mr Little, who co-hosted the International Boys' Schools Coalition Conference at the Guildhall with David Levin, headmaster of City of London School, said: “As a nation, we do not support and nurture boys, especially teenage boys, at all well.

“It is foolish to assume that boys can always be helped in the same way as girls. We feel our education system needs to face up to that fact.”

Boys, he believes, require a more physical and active style of learning. He said that an increased verbal element of GCSEs favoured girls over boys and that educational techniques had become skewed because of the male-dominated society of the past.

'HARRISONBURG, Va. — A group fighting against JMU’s Title IX cuts to varsity teams announced plans to appeal a court’s Dec. 30 decision to throw out their case against James Madison University.

A federal court struck down a lawsuit brought by Equity in Athletics, a non-profit and tax exempt status, for JMU’s relegating 10 varsity athletic teams to club status in July 2007 to comply with Title IX’s requirements for gender equality in federally funded education programs.

Larry Joseph, an attorney for EIA based in Washington, D.C., said he was not surprised by Judge Glen Conrad’s decision to throw out the case.

“He basically showed his hand at the beginning of the trial,” Joseph said.

The Equal Opportunity in Education Act, better known as Title IX, was made a federal law in 1972. It stated no person may be discriminated against for his or her gender in a federally funded school activity. Although this certainly applies to academics, most of Title IX’s publicity has come from the world of athletics.'

First we have a rapist who rapes her victim 200 times:

'A single mother had sex with a 12-year-old boy almost 200 times - marking each encounter with a star in a sordid diary.

"Angela Sullivan, 36, could face an indefinite jail sentence after admitting ten child sex charges.

"Sullivan even bought the youngster a pair of trainers as a reward when the pair slept together for the 100th time, Teeside Crown Court heard.'

Then we have a brain-dead example of Britain's world-class (HAHHAHHAHHAAAA!!!!) education system:

"A teenage mother was investigated by police after photographs of her six-month-old son with a cigarette in his mouth were posted on Facebook.
...
"Rebecca then declared her love for her son, writing: 'Why Would SomeOne Do That To Me U Ollie No was taking U Yur Mine for lyfee Darlinggg Mummy Loves You :)'"

'AUCKLAND, New Zealand - An advert for an airline competition that portrays older, single women as "cougars" who prey on young men at night is to close on Monday after incurring the wrath of both male and female rape victims in New Zealand.

"Cougar" has become a popular term for sexually aggressive older women on the hunt for younger men, with actress Courteney Cox recently starring in TV comedy "Cougar Town." But the term can be viewed either as misogynistic or a word of empowerment.

An online spoof documentary by Air New Zealand, promoting a competition for free tickets to a rugby tournament, tells of a so-called cougar starving herself during the day then "hunting large slabs of meat at night" by stalking young men at a bar.
...

New Zealand's Rape Prevention Education has labeled the ad appalling, disgusting and degrading to women, adding that some Air New Zealand staff were also concerned about the promotion.

Announcement here. Excerpt:

'A gathering of academicians drawn from a range of disciplines will meet on April 7, 2010, at Wagner College, Staten Island, New York, to examine the declining state of the male, stemming from cataclysmic changes in today’s culture, environment and global economy. The live teleconferenced colloquium will be co-chaired by Judith Kleinfeld, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Boys Project at the University of Alaska, and Lionel Tiger, PhD, Rutgers University Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology. It will encompass a broad range of topics relevant to the study of boys and men in contemporary society ranging from their roles in the family and workforce, as well as their physical and emotional health, to the growing problem of misandry—the hatred of males, an unacknowledged but underlying socio-cultural, economic, political and legal phenomenon endangering the well-being of both genders.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'Jeanette Sliwinski, a former trade show model, killed three men when she collided into the back of their vehicle at over 90 miles per hour when they were stopped at an intersection. She did it intentionally, trying to commit suicide. She initially said she purposely drove her car into the parked vehicle, then changed her story. She served less than 4 years for her crime. Oh, and a broken ankle.

See the article here. A few quotations:

"Cook County Circuit Judge Garritt Howard, who presided over the bench trial, sentenced Sliwinski. She could have received up to 10 years for the reckless homicide conviction, but the judge said he factored in her lack of violent history and what he found to be her diminished mental state."'

'RICHMOND, Calif. — A 15-year-old California girl who told police she had been kidnapped off the street and raped now says she made up the story.

The Richmond teenager had claimed she was forced into a car with four males at gunpoint Friday night and driven around for several hours before two of them raped her.

Lt. Mark Gagan says the girl called Richmond police around 1 p.m. Sunday and told them the story was not true.

The girl says she had had consensual sex with someone, but needed an explanation for why she had not returned home Friday night.

Gagan says dozens of patrol officers, detectives, forensic technicians and nurses had been working on the investigation. Police found physical evidence Sunday that confirmed the girl had made up her initial story.

In October, Richmond police say a 16-year-old girl was the victim of a gang rape outside a homecoming dance at a local high school.'

Article here. Notice the use of the word "youths" when referring to a class of victims who are mostly boys. If so many were female, the word "girls" would most certainly have been used. Excerpt:

'More than 12% of youths in juvenile prisons are sexually abused while in custody there, according to a Justice Department study out Thursday, and the vast majority of cases involve female staff and boys under their supervision. [Ed.: emphasis added]

In the worst facilities surveyed — in Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina and Texas — more than 30% of youths reported they had been sexually victimized. The study, the first of its kind, shows a rate of sexual assault more than seven times higher than that indicated by a 2008 Justice Department report that collected sexual abuse claims to juvenile facility administrators. It is also higher than a similar study of adult prisons because of the "very high rate of staff sexual misconduct," said Allen Beck, who directed the survey for the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Credit where do, read it here. Suppose they read MANN? :) I want to see a day where gender-baiting stuff like this unabashedly splashed all over the MSM is as unacceptable as are articles today that appeal to ethnic stereotyping. Excerpt:

'You pride yourself on your open, honest relationship. But that doesn't mean you should blurt out any thought that comes to mind.

Sometimes, a comment that seems perfectly harmless to you might be hurtful, awkward or just plain irritating to your boyfriend.

Story here. Excerpt:

'A businessman is suing British Airways over a policy that bans male passengers from sitting next to children they don't know - even if the child's parents are on the same flight.

Mirko Fischer has accused the airline of branding all men as potential sex offenders and says innocent travellers are being publicly humiliated.

In line with the policy, BA cabin crew patrol the aisles before take-off checking that youngsters travelling on their own or in a different row from their parents are not next to a male stranger.

If they find a man next to a child or teenager they will ask him to move to a different seat. The aircraft will not take off unless the passenger obeys.'

Unbelievable discrimination!

Hi all, Rod here.

My London friend Tom is an MRA who believes in "equality feminism". In a number of words he explained to me I need to make it clear to men that I am not anti-equality or a misogynist.

I have-long standing female friends as well as male friends. Like many men growing up around the 1970s I thought if I was nice, helpful and respectful to women, if I worked hard and had talent, that I would in kind be liked, and respected by people of both sexes... by most people anyway - and I would have a place in this world.

It is strange that I would think that, considering the background I came from. But I did because I was young and had hope. I had faith and a sense of responsibility and a desire to achieve, like a lot of men who I would now see as being naive.

'This week’s devastating earthquake in Haiti, which struck near Port au Prince, has led to countless tragedies on the impoverished island, and is a disaster that may rival the recent Sichuan quake in China. The damage struck indiscriminately, killing young and old, rich and poor, and man and woman alike.

However, some relief groups have decided that women deserve more aid, and have come up with a number of reasons why men should be left to die from injuries and disease while women get preferential treatment.

Quoted in Salon.com in an article titled Why “women and children first” persists, Elaine Enarson (probably a Swedish woman*), cofounder of the Gender and Disaster Network (“Calling for a gendered approach in disaster risk reduction”), explains why men are to be excluded:

'Record cold temperatures are beginning to take their toll on average citizens around the world. In bone-chilled France, frustrated housewives have taken to venting their spleens at their husbands — and for good reason.

For decades, effete French men have indulged themselves with aerosol hair spray for their over-groomed hairpieces, contributing, as we all know, to the thinning of the ozone layer and melting of the polar ice caps.
...
Thankfully, the epidemic of shrieking wives has not escaped the attention of the ever-vigilant French Parliament, which is now considering a ban on the practice. The law would apply to both married and cohabiting couples.
