'Women who make false rape allegations need help not prosecution, says a rape victim counsellor.
...
Of more concern was the number of sexual abuse assaults not reported to police, with only 9 per cent of sexual assault cases reported.
...
Police should be finding help for these women, she said.
"I would recommend some form of therapeutic intervention rather than charging them."
She said someone needed to be "pretty distressed" to make a false allegation of sexual assault but there were several reasons someone would. A young woman may have had sex against her parent's wishes and told her parents she has been raped. Dr McGregor said the parents complain to police but when the woman was interviewed she would then say she had lied.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'Feminists need to realize that if we want truly equal treatment for women, we have to stop demanding preferential treatment, in the form of senate seats, anti-men legislation and the conventient revision of history. And they need to remember that real American women — in San Francisco, Topeka, and Anchorage — are not defined by only one issue.
Ms. magazine has offended a lot of women in the past — both by glorifying and, in fact, celebrating abortion as an act of defiance against men, and by appearing anti-Semitic in refusing to run an ad honoring Israeli women. If the election of Barack Obama is opening feminists’ eyes to the realities of the world — that men are valuable and important, and shouldn’t be excluded from our fight for equality — then I am now a huge supporter of Barack Obama. Here’s hoping the new feminist mantra can be “I Am Man, Hear Me Roar.”

Open misandry to be found here. Tell me, a girl who wants to have sex on the first date-- is she a "bad female"? Excerpt:
"A woman increases her chances of getting a 'good' man by not sleeping with partners on a first date, mathematicians have found.
They used a numerical model to show that better partners were willing to date for a longer time before having sex, whereas 'bad' men were more reluctant to hang around.
...
By delaying mating, the female is able to reduce the chance that she will mate with a bad male.
'A male's willingness to court for a long time is a signal that he is likely to be a good male.

My how times do change. Story here. Excerpt:
'A jewellery chain is set to be the first in the country to sell engagement rings exclusively for men.
H Samuel says the move comes after demands from female customers for equality - as increasing numbers of women propose to their partners.
...
As well as issues of equality driving demand for male engagement rings, H Samuel says women are equally enthusiastic about them as a means of making it clear their men are spoken for.
An H Samuel spokesman said: 'Women are no longer waiting until the man pops the question. We are equals in the workplace, equals in our relationships and we make our own decisions.'
Rather belies feminist assertions about "relationship inequality" doesn't it? If marriage is so oppressive to, why are they now doing the asking? It just don't add up.

Article here. Ann Coulter at her finest, flings poop back at the monkeys at the NY Times by identifying the group that has a large hand in the decay of Western Civilization. Excerpt:
"But as long as the Times has such a burning interest in the root causes of murder, how about considering the one factor more likely to create a murderer than any other? That is the topic we're not allowed to discuss: single motherhood." and "Imagine an America with 60 to 70 percent fewer juvenile delinquents, teenage births, teenage suicides and runaways, and you will appreciate what the sainted "single mothers" have accomplished."

Story here.
'WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the next secretary of state, endorsing President-elect Barack Obama's promise to take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction.
The action paves way for a full Senate vote after Obama takes office on Jan. 20. Clinton is not expected to hit any major roadblocks, with Republicans and Democrats alike praising her acumen on the issues.
But concerns about her husband's charitable fundraising overseas remains. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, who was among several Republicans who raised the issue at her confirmation hearing earlier this week, cast the lone opposing vote.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said he too remains wary that contributions to the Clinton charity could pose conflicts of interest. But, he added, he wouldn't stand in the way of her appointment at this point and noted that Clinton could become one of the nation's best secretaries of State to date.

'A primary school teacher faces jail for sending lewd texts to a 14-year-old boy after grooming him over the internet game World of Warcraft.
Lynn Walls, 42, who has been sacked from her job, used the interactive computer game to befriend the teenager and get his mobile phone number while playing online.
She then sent the boy, from London, a series of graphic texts in November 2007 which outlined what she intended to do with him if they met.
She was caught out when his father read them.
Today she returned to Newcastle Crown Court to be sentenced after admitting inciting a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity.'

Article here. Excerpt:
'In 2005, the latest statistics offered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 25,907 men killed themselves, versus 6,730 women. A big part of this discrepancy is that men use much more successful methods of suicide. Each of the four moguls who took their lives did so in a decisive fashion. "Men take far more permanent measures," says Manhattan psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, who counsels many Wall Streeters and their families. "Women might make gestures that are not as strong, that are more a cry for help or attention."
The financial crisis offers serious and perhaps widespread motivations for male suicidal behavior. "This is just the tip of the iceberg," says Dr. Leslie Seppinni, a Beverly Hills, Calif., clinical psychologist who counsels many millionaires, both male and female.'

'CHAMBERSBURG -- Adult female college students struggling to juggle an academic career with several other commitments elsewhere can now live on campus at Wilson College through its adult residency program.
...
"Adult women are the fastest-growing college demographic and are projected to be so over the next several years," said Mary Ann Naso, Wilson vice president for enrollment.
...
Men are barred from living on campus, as there are no programs for traditional-age male students at Wilson.
...
Under the older program, mothers can stay in a two-room suite with their daughters up to their last year of high school, or their sons up to age 11. Unlike the new program, it is for full-time residency only.'

'One of the biggest splits occurs in families with a father who has little education or is absent — with sons much less likely than their sisters to go to college, said Claudia Buchmann, an Ohio State University sociologist who spoke at UC Davis in November. The reasons are unclear, though young men from those families may face more pressure to get a job immediately after high school, place a lower priority on education or fail to recognize the potential of a degree to raise their earning power.
...
The result, Kimsey said, is a society of women who are increasingly highly educated and white collar and men who are less educated and blue collar.
...
Many men who do go to college seem less prepared than their female classmates for the rigors of their coursework, say some UC Davis academic advisers and students. Men tend to procrastinate more in their studies while many women seem driven to excel.'

"A female teacher at a top private boys' school has been arrested over allegations of sexual misconduct involving sixth-formers.
Hannah McIntyre, 24, has been suspended from her job at Merchant Taylors school, in Crosby, Merseyside.
...
The alleged sexual activity is said to have taken place away from the premises of the £8,000-a-year school, whose former pupils include ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie.
Although sixth-form students are above the age of consent, it is a criminal offence for teachers to engage in sexual activity with them because of their 'relationship of trust'.
Government guidance also warns teachers that 'intimate or sexual relationships between staff and pupils will be regarded as a grave breach of trust'."
