Wilson College to allow adult female students on-campus residence

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.'

University Of California: "SeXX Shift"

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.'

UK: Female teacher at top boys' school arrested for 'having sex with sixth formers'

Story here. Excerpt:

"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'."

UK: "Harman's latest men-bashing policy is not just odious - it turns morality inside out"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Having given us class war yesterday with her ‘equality’ proposals the Minister for Women, Harriet Harman, returns today to her signature battleground of the sex war to promote yet another policy that springs from the desire to give men a bashing.

At present, the law provides a defence of provocation to the charge of murder in cases where there is a sudden loss of temper or self-control.

"Woman Charged In Domestic Tiff"

Story here. Excerpt:

'Ottawa police have charged a woman with aggravated assault after her boyfriend fell through a pane of glass at a Herongate-area apartment building Sunday.

Police are disclosing nothing more about the 25-year-old accused or the alleged assault because they say their policy is not to disclose information about domestic-related incidents.

Officers responded to an apartment building on Cedarwood Dr. just after 2 p.m. and found a 34-year-old man with cuts to his neck, face and head.

Police said the injuries were originally life-threatening, but the man's condition subsequently improved.'

Canada: Man jailed for rape might get a new trial

Story here. Excerpt:

'Ivan Henry already had a criminal history in 1983, a previous conviction for attempted rape. He also had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. According to a court-appointed psychiatrist, he was psychotic and suffered paranoid delusions.
...
He has spent the past 26 years in prison for crimes he has always maintained he did not commit.

The record now casts serious doubt on the prosecution's case against him and the process leading to it.
...
But "relevant and potentially exculpatory" evidence had surfaced while Henry languished in prison.

He had, in the 1980s and 1990s, tried to initiate 55 proceedings, all on his own. None succeeded.
...
The suspect was identified during yesterday's proceedings, but his name cannot be published under court order. He pleaded guilty to three sex offences in 2005 and received a five-year prison sentence. He has since been released.

Man wrongfully convicted of rape dies

Story here.

'HOUMA – A Dulac man who spent 18 years in state prison for a rape he didn’t commit has died.

Clyde Charles, 55, died of natural causes Wednesday at his home on Shrimpers Row, according to relatives.

In 1981, Charles was wrongfully convicted of rape and sent to Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola after a woman identified him as her attacker.

Almost two decades after his imprisonment, Charles was exonerated of the crime based on DNA evidence. The same evidence implicated his brother, Marlo Charles,

in the crime. Marlo Charles is serving a life sentence for aggravated rape.

Relatives said he had diabetes, among other health problems, and was receiving dialysis.

A memorial service is scheduled for 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Blaine Clay Lodge No. 14 F.M., 915 Lafayette St., Houma. In lieu of flowers, family asks donations be made to the Innocence Project at innocenceproject.org'

UK: "Harriet Harman is an ultra-feminist gender warrior trapped in a student radical time-warp"

Article here. Excerpt:

'In a speech this weekend, she will hail this move as a step towards ‘a new social order’.

‘We want to do more than just provide escape routes out of poverty for a talented few. We want to tackle the class divide,’ she will say.

This is but the latest bit of cack-handed injustice from Harman, an ultra-feminist gender warrior who has spent much of her political career trying to institutionalise injustice against men and privilege women on the basis of ‘sexual equality’.

Much is made of Gordon Brown’s unreconstructed redistributive socialism. But in fact Harman is the most conspicuous example of another important characteristic of this government: its state of fossilised adolescence.

Ms. Magazine Posits Obama as Super-Feminist

Article here. Excerpt:

"Ms. Magazine, the publication founded by Gloria Steinem, is releasing a special inaugural issue with somewhat provocative cover. Its photo-shopped image portrays Barack Obama in an iconic Superman pose: heeding a distress call and pulling open his starched white shirt to reveal a secret identity. In this version of the comic-book send-up, the somewhat misleading layer of business attire conceals not a blue and red leotard, but a black t-shirt that reads, "This is what Feminism looks like".
...
'When the chair of the Feminist board, Peg Yorkin, and I met with Barack Obama, he immediately offered, "I am a feminist." And better yet, he ran on the strongest platform for women's rights of any major party in American history.'"

National Car Rental ad pulled due to activism

Recently National Car Rental had an ad showing John McEnroe smashing a tennis ball into a mans' head for trying to take a car he wanted. I protested the commercial because it continues to promote the idea that inflicting pain on a man is funny. I found out today that the commercial has been permanently dropped because of the protests that were received from viewers. I am glad that others found the ad offensive and that national car rental got the message. -- Dave

The ad can be seen here.
