Canada: 81% of jobs lost were held by men

Article here. You will also notice that (of course) there are snippets of anti-male propaganda both snuck in and slapping you in the face. Excerpt:

"OTTAWA — More than four out of five jobs that have been lost in Canada since October 2008 have been jobs held by men, according to the newest data from Statistics Canada.

The trend, in which men represent more than 81 per cent of the 357,000 jobs lost over the past six months, is prompting some to refer to this economic downturn as a "he-cession."

Statistics Canada said another 61,300 Canadians lost their jobs in the month of March, pushing the unemployment rate up to its highest point in the past seven years.

Men between the ages of 25 and 54 have been hit particularly hard in the ailing economy, making up more than 55 per cent of the jobs lost in Canada since October."

'The mother of a 21-year-old assault victim who died of his injuries received permission Tuesday for his sperm to be collected post-mortem, giving her the chance to have a grandchild through a surrogate mother.

Travis County Probate Judge Guy Herman ordered the medical examiner's office to maintain the body of Nikolas Colton Evans until his sperm can be taken.

Herman also said officials at the office must provide access so an expert can take the specimen.

Herman issued the orders after an emergency hearing at the request of Marissa Evans, whose son died Sunday after being punched and falling during a March 27 assault on East Sixth Street.'

Melbourne dad finds kidnapped sons and shows up Swedish cops

I figured a good-news story was in order. A father reunited with his two boys. Excerpt:

"A MELBOURNE father's speedy rescue of his two kidnapped sons has embarrassed Swedish police, who struggled with the case for six months.

Armed with just a pair of binoculars and a rental car, it took the dad only one week to find his missing sons, aged 11 and ten, in Sweden.

"It is a genuine failing mark to the work of the police,'' columnist Lars Lindstrom wrote in the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

"(The father) went on leave, flew from Melbourne to Sweden and found them in a week. How did that happen?''"

Woman, 64, Accused Of Assaulting Man, 72, With Car

Story here. Excerpt:

'David Gorn, 72, was leaving a diner Monday night when Harris allegedly confronted him and accused him of abusing a turtle.

Police later said it was a decorative item -- a porcelain turtle if you will that she claims was damaged.

But Harris' lawyer said it was an actual pet turtle.
...
Whatever the case, after the argument, cops said Harris grabbed his keys and took off in her car. Harris drove right next door to an adjacent parking lot and Gorn followed desperate to get his car keys back.

Cops said that's when she assaulted him with her Honda Accord, allegedly striking Gorn once, waiting for him to get up, and then hitting him again.
...
Harris' lawyer said she's ready to fight the assault charges.

"There's two sides to every story and she looks forward to telling her side," Seeger said.

Harris left court under orders not to contact the ex-boyfriend, who is recovering with a head injury.'

Bridget's Law: Lies Without Consequences?

'BRIDGET Marks says her nasty custody battle with a philandering ex-lover has transformed her from a buxom nude model into a full-blown political activist.
...
Last year, the former Playboy pin-up, now 43, got state Assemblyman Jonathan Bing and Sen. Tom Duane (both D-Manhattan) to craft "Bridget's Law," which protects parents from being penalized in custody cases for making "good-faith efforts" to protect their kids from child abuse. It was signed into law by Gov. Paterson.

"And with the help of Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney*, we'll have a national 'Bridget's Law' in the foreseeable future," Marks told us. "It's a silent national crisis of women losing their children for no good reason. I've been contacted by thousands of women from as far away as Australia."

UK: Founder of women-only-as-employees company recounts results

Excellent article here, written by a female boss who thought it would be a good idea to set up an all female business... BIG mistake, as she now realizes. Excerpt:

'Over in one corner sat Alice, a strong-minded 27-year-old who always said what she thought, regardless of how much it might hurt someone else. In the other corner was Sarah, a thirtysomething high-flier who would stand up for herself momentarily - then burst into tears and run for the ladies.

Their simmering fight lasted hours, egged on by spectators taking sides and fuelling the anger. Sometimes other girls would join in, either heckling aggressively or huddling defensively in the toilets. It might sound like a scene from a tawdry reality show such as Big Brother, but the truth is a little more prosaic: it was just a normal morning in my office.

Author of "Afraid to Go Home" gets Kindle distribution

Someone writing under the name Baden Hill has penned a book entitled "Afraid to Go Home", now for sale also on Amazon.com as a downloadable Kindle book. His (her?) stated reason for seeking to sell it as a Kindle book is because it may be that if an abusive husband caught his wife with the print version, it would probably lead to her being beat up (see the full second "press release" below). Excerpt from the first "press release":

'AFRAID TO GO HOME, a 420 page paperback, is about a White, middle-class, educated, female executive who is taken advantage of at work by the Good Ol' Boys, and is trapped in a violent relationship which she can't free herself and her children from at home.

Oprah School Locked Up Students

Story here. Excerpt:

' FOUR students claim they were kept in solitary confinement for two weeks before being expelled from the Oprah Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

The girls, who were among seven pupils accused of forcing fellow students into sexual relationships and engaging in bullying and harassment, told a South African newspaper of how they were treated before being sent home.
...
A 15-year-old confirmed physical contact between students.

"If they say I was touching other learners, it's true," she told The Star.

In her defense, she said, "No one complained to me about it. Obviously if you touch someone, if they are uncomfortable, they will tell you."

On March 26, security guards told the girls to pack their things. They were each allowed monitored goodbyes with three friends for five minutes. Clothes, phones and shoes given to students by the school were taken back.'
