'According to Debrett's, the bible of etiquette, political correctness is slowly strangling chivalry.
...
'Of course women don't need men to open doors. But at the same time, a little bit of chivalry is nice - and people need help knowing how to strike the balance, because the boundaries have become blurred.'

'Help a woman with her heavy bags, offer her a seat on the train if she is elderly or pregnant, stand when she enters the room. These are good manners and should come out instinctively rather than contrived gestures that feel outdated and oppressive.'

'(AP) Police say a 20-year-old woman faces an aggravated assault charge after she bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword during an argument about him not doing the dishes.
...
Henderson said the woman then tried to physically remove Boykins. During the ensuing struggle, Henderson said, Pouncy bit Boykin's' right shoulder and broke a picture frame across his face, causing visible cuts.

The woman then grabbed an approximately 2-foot sword and swung it at Boykin's, missing him, police said.

Pouncy was released from a Mansfield jail after posting a $10,000 bond, jail officials said.'

'Over the past couple years, government agencies such as the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and NASA have started undertaking Title IX compliance reviews in university science and engineering programs at a handful of schools across the nation. In fact, auditors from the Department of Energy visited UW-Madison April 1-2 to review its graduate physics program, and a final report is due out by the end of the year.

"American scientists should brace themselves for the destructive tsunami headed their way," said Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

"Here is what is extremely odd about this Title IX movement," said Sommers. "We are looking at a serious problem with males in education. Our universities are approaching 60 percent female. The University of Wisconsin is about 55 to 56 percent female. So why not have some investigations about the under-representation of men in college enrollment?"

Despite Mindelle Jacobs and the Edmonton Sun suggestions, these are the only two letters, currently online at the Edmonton Sun (Friday) [which address the Sept. 10 article]. We had heard that there might be a special section containing some of the best on letters received for Sunday. There is nothing there for Sunday. We had also heard that she might do a "follow-up column" but conventional wisdom suggests she probably has no intention of writing such a column and that she will simply 'ride out the storm' until some time has passed and the outrage has died down, and then begin her assault on us all over again, as she has done for years. We really should not let her and the Edmonton Sun get away with this.

The two letters are here.

Story here. Excerpt:

'A father who is giving up after a four-year fight to see his daughters has written the two girls an emotional goodbye email, prompting fathers facing similar situations to say: "Remember, brother, you are not alone."

The email has been distributed as far as the US, Canada and Saudi Arabia.
...
"My dearest daughters, today I say goodbye to you, as I no longer have the strength to continue the four-year battle with your mother. I am mentally, physically and financially drained. Please always know that I love you, and that this is no decision on my part," the email reads.

The father said his ex-wife had prejudiced his daughters against him, resulting in "hate faxes" in which the girls said they didn't want to see him. "I do not know you, I do not go to strangers," the eight-year-old wrote.'

An Arizona man will be sentenced to 70 1/2 years in prison for posing as 12 year old to enroll in school, possession of child pornography, and failure to register as sex offender. This will be a mandatory sentence, with no parole or credit for good time. He will be released when he is 100 1/2 years old.

Many of you may say that he deserves every last day of that. However, be aware that he didn't sexually assault or touch any child while attending the school. He also didn't kill anyone. How many people in the prison system are serving much less than 70 1/2 years for 1st or 2nd degree murder. Would a woman get this sentence or be committed to a hospital for 60 days?

'Gloria Steinem, the grand mufti of feminism, issued a fatwa anathematizing Palin. A National Organization for Women spokeswoman proclaimed Palin more of a man than a woman. Wendy Doniger, a feminist academic at the University of Chicago, writes of Palin in Newsweek: "Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman."
...
The academic feminist left has scared the dickens out of mainstream men and women for so long, the liberal establishment is terrified to contradict feminists' nigh-upon-theological conviction that female authenticity is measured by one's blind loyalty to left-wing talking points. This is a version of the Marxist doctrine of "false consciousness," which holds that you aren't an authentic member of the proletariat unless you agree with Marxism.'

Story here. Unbelievable. He finds a naked man in his daughter's room. He didn't know she even had a boyfriend much less that he was sneaking into his house to "see" her. So what does he do? Well he probably thought the kid was a rapist and so attacked him; most men would do this and it's entirely justified. But now the dad faces criminal charges! Unbelievable. So the message to fathers is this: You can't defend your home against someone you perceive reasonably is an intruder bent on assaulting your children or else face criminal charges. Excerpt:

'Authorities say the father, 45, didn't even know his daughter had a boyfriend or that the youngster had been sneaking into the home for more than a year.
...
The father was charged with aggravated battery on a child and bonded out on $10,000.'

'A health assistant at a southwest suburban elementary school was charged Thursday with sexual abuse after officials investigated illicit text messages she allegedly sent to teenage boys.
...
During the investigation, police identified three boys who allegedly had physical sexual contact with Obzera in 2006, the release said. She was charged with three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.'

Article here. Excerpt:

"The Fatherhood Foundation believes that fatherlessness is a major contributor to the problems our children face. Dr Bruce Robinson says that fatherlessness costs Australia $13 billion a year. Fatherlessness increases the likelihood that children will grow up in poverty, increased crime, drug abuse, youth suicide, child sexual abuse, mental health problems, high levels of child obesity, poor health, poor nutrition and lower levels of educational performance for children. In spite of what radical feminists may say about the ills of patriarchy, involved and loving fathers are foundational for the development of healthy children and strong families."

This article is worded in a straight-forward way but is only backed by vague information. Not much detail is given about how the study was done. It simply says there was a study, then gives results. It also does not count for the possibility that some participants might lie or have been false sexual harassment accusers in the past. The one credible part is that the study was done at the University of Melbourne and not some by some random small group, yet colleges are a bastion of one-sided feminist ideology.

From the article: ""Our study shows that 79 per cent of those who experience unwanted sexual advances at work are women. People who are employed in casual jobs are about five times more likely to be subjected to unwanted sexual advances."

I'm posting this because I'm honestly not sure if this is legit or questionable. Does anyone have input?

No, not a joke. Read this. Excerpt:

'LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A 22-year-old woman in the United States is publicly auctioning her virginity to pay for her college education...

The student ... said she had no moral dilemma with her decision and found it "empowering".
...
"We live in a capitalist society. Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?" she added.

The woman, who has earned a bachelor degree in women's studies and now wants to start a master's degree in marriage and family therapy, is hoping the bidding will hit $1 million.
...
The online auction site eBay turned her down so the auction will take place at a Nevada brothel, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, where her sister is working to pay off her college debts.'

Just what would Susan B. say if she were alive to see it?

'What's a conference on domestic violence without fireworks? An American speaker shot off a doozy here yesterday, charging that the leaders of some fathers' rights groups are abusers who use the organizations as tools to harass women.
...
"The agenda, often by the leadership, is to completely undermine women's rights," she said. "The ones that are the most dangerous are, in fact, creating safety problems for women and children."
...
Want more fireworks? Here goes. Smith also said domestic abusers who fight for custody in U.S. courts win full custody, joint custody or unsupervised access 70% of the time, regardless of the evidence of the mother.'

Story here. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Look at the comments below it. It's encouraging to see some appalled by the double standard. Excerpt:

'A Guelph, Ont., woman who told a psychiatrist she had suffocated her two infant sons is expected hear a verdict Thursday in her trial on murder charges.

The 27-year-old woman, who cannot be identified because she was 17 at the time of her first son's death, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.
...
The defence has argued that the woman should be convicted of infanticide, rather than murder. Infanticide is defined in the Criminal Code as a woman's killing of her newborn child while her mind is "disturbed" by the effects of childbirth.
...
If convicted of infanticide, the woman could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison. A first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence.'

Story here. Notice how 'poverty' was the culprit. Apparently dad failed to provide for the family. Excerpt:

'MANILA, Philippines — Police say poverty apparently has driven a jobless woman in the Philippines to kill her three young children and herself by getting them to drink toilet cleaner before she also took some.
...
Police say her husband, a construction worker in Manila, had not sent money for a month.'
