'It is still difficult to take in: that the catalogue of sexual abuse of very young children revealed in this week's paedophile court case was carried out by a 39-year-old female classroom assistant, at a nursery called Little Ted's.

In a sordid three-way exchange, Vanessa George swapped pictures of children in her care with another woman and a convicted sex offender businessman.

The fact that two of these paedophiles were female - and also mothers - is sickening enough without the fact that the victims had been entrusted into this sick woman's care by parents who were unaware of her true nature.

But what was even more upsetting about this case is that it subsequently emerged that 20 per cent of all sexual offences against children are now committed by women.'

'CINCINNATI -- A woman who was fired from a previous teaching job for having sex with a student and who pleaded guilty last month to a sex crime with a minor is now employed at an all-boys Christian school.

She pleaded guilty last month in a plea deal to unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. She initially was charged with sexual battery, a felony that would have required her to register as a sex offender and could have sent her to prison. But because her victim refused to cooperate with authorities, prosecutors allowed a plea deal to a misdemeanor that, the judge indicated last month, likely will allow her to escape time behind bars and get probation.'

'Victoria Salter, of Lostock Hall, told police in September last year she was raped by three men while one looked on.

This led to the arrest of three 17-year-olds but one of them had filmed the incident which proved the sex was consensual, the court heard.

Salter, 26, who earlier admitted perverting the course of justice was jailed at Preston Crown Court.

Salter, of Broad Meadow, dialled 999 to make the false report in September 2008.

She said she had been followed home by four men and was raped by three of them while the fourth watched.

But the court heard that Salter had been filmed on a mobile phone during the sexual encounter and had been partaking "enthusiastically".'

Jennifer Beeman, the director of anti-violence efforts on the university campus, was put on administrative leave in December 2008 only to retire in June 2009 after 16 years at the university. The Sacramento Bee has investigated Beeman before for inflating rape statistics. Excerpt:

'Past problems with misreported campus sex crimes statistics, through both understatement and exaggeration, re-emerged Thursday at the University of California, Davis.

Officials alleged that the former head of campus anti-violence efforts, Jennifer Beeman, had grossly inflated the number of forcible sexual offenses in three years of mandatory reports to the federal government.
...
In an investigative series published in 2000, The Bee found the university had consistently under-reported sexual assaults to the federal government.

'In her book, Brownmiller said that only 2 percent of rape allegations are false, citing findings by the female police in a New York City rape squad. The problem is that while this statistic has been widely repeated, with dutiful mentions of New York-based "research," no one has ever tracked down its source. This we learned from a comprehensive review of the literature on false rape charges published in the Cambridge Law Journal in 2006. The author, Philip Rumney, finds a couple of small studies that back up the 2 percent claim but isn't confident of their methodology.

'The party also signaled an opening day of sorts, as during the month of October the calendar will host the 22nd annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month....

In other words, it will be another 31 days of fundraising, fanaticism and fraudulence; another month in which America and the western world is misinformed on an epic scale, all in the name of perpetuating the myth that the ill effects of domestic violence is a “girls only” club and that draconian legislation is the only answer.
...
The facts around domestic violence point to the unavoidable conclusion that VAWA is legislation rooted not only in sexism, but in an ill-conceived agenda that severs men from rights and recourse with the crushing legal efficacy of Dred Scott.
...
One might be pressed to wonder why, with 835,000 men a year being victimized by violent partners, would Joe Biden conjure up a mammoth piece of legislation that outright denies that reality?...

'The term "genital mutilation" sounds far less civilised that the commonly used term "circumcision". Yet the former is only ever used in relation to the removal of parts of female reproductive organs, and the latter, generally, for the removal of the foreskin from a male's penis. Make no mistake, a circumcision is the mutilation of genitals regardless of the terminology.

'Numerous studies, in particular for the U.S., have shown that individuals in occupations with high injury risk are compensated for that risk by corresponding bonus payments. At the same time, male workers are overrepresented in the most dangerous occupations like scaffolders or miners, while females typically work in relatively safe occupations with respect to occupational injuries. It is therefore remarkable that almost all studies analyzing the gender wage gap have disregarded different occupational injury risks as a potential explanatory variable for observed gender wage differentials.

'BARTOW | Danielle Jones was once regarded as a dedicated sixth-grade science teacher with a knack for mentoring at-risk students.

Now, the 33-year-old Auburndale woman has been found guilty of having sex with four teenage boys, ranging in age from 14 to 16 years old. Two of the boys were her former students.

She faces up to life imprisonment at her Friday sentencing hearing. A score sheet prepared for Jones' case shows her lowest recommended sentence to be about 55 years.

Circuit Judge Donald Jacobsen can impose a lower sentence but would have to provide a written explanation if he chose to do so.
...
She said a double standard exists where boys are not treated as victims when they are sexually abused by women.
...
"If she is attractive, we give her permission to sexually abuse the boy," said Duncan.

'He was made out to be a rampaging "Rambo," an armed and dangerous beast who raped his wife and later tried to kidnap her.

But it turned out that it was all wrong. Stephen Vaughn was innocent.

When the gavel finally came down, it was clear that Vaughn was not much more than a hapless character in an existential nightmare caused, in part, by his own poor judgment.

According to his attorney, Vaughn was primarily a victim of a prosecutorial process that operates under the assumption that the husband must always be guilty in domestic disputes in which violence is alleged.

A passing glance suggests that the system actually worked in the end. After all, an Orange County grand jury threw out the 2008 rape charge. Last month, a Westchester County found Vaughn not guilty of attempted kidnapping and a host of lesser charges.'

'From where I sit I think women today, particularly in the South, have it pretty darn good.

We are enjoying the steady spread of women’s equality in the workplace, home and school system while still being treated like damsels in distress when it comes to our lifestyle.

Are we confused? Are we screaming to be treated equally while our actions are saying something else?

In a world of so-called gender equality, where do we differentiate between independence and chivalrous traditions?

Even though the feminist movement brought the right to vote and the beginning of equal pay for women, our demands for independence have been shadowed by the fact that we still expect special treatment.

Should we consider our rights and the way we clarify them to be all or nothing? Can we have our cake and eat it, too?'

As of August, the male unemployment rate was 10.1 opposed to 7.6 for women.

'In August, construction employment declined by 65,000, in line with the trend since May. Monthly losses had averaged 117,000 over the 6 months ending in April. Employment in the construction industry has contracted by 1.4 million since the onset of the recession.

In mining, employment declined by 9,000 over the month.

Employment in health care continued to rise in August (28,000), with gains in ambulatory care and in nursing and residential care. Employment in hospitals was little changed in August; job growth in the industry slowed in early 2009 and employment has been flat since May. Health care has added 544,000 jobs since the start of the recession.'
