'Celia Lashlie, an education adviser and author from New Zealand, said women are important to boys’ learning, but they need to learn from their male colleagues.

"Women should make more use of silence – asking a question then giving boys time to think before answering – and non-verbal cues such as raised eyebrows. They also should talk at a lower pitch.

“Don’t speak so much – just shut up,” says Ms Lashlie, a self-described feminist.

“I’ve been in classes with young female teachers, and by the end of the session my ears hurt.”'

...and the inevitable reaction from the sisterhood:

'Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union, said Ms Lashlie’s proposals for schools were “a load of claptrap”.

“It is disappointing that a woman has felt the need to pander to the views of a tiny group of men who present themselves as the oppressed minority,” she said.'

Yawn.

My interview on the Sandy Rios Show is now available online.

Sandy Rios is former president of the huge and influential Concerned Women for America. You can hear in the interview that she is not only very sympathetic but highly knowledgeable, having had two friends that went through the family court wringer. This could be a significant breakthrough. The number of prominent public personalities who are aware of the reign of terror in family court continues to grow.

Just how long does a man in New Jersey have to be dating/seeing a woman before she qualifies to get palimony from him? Guess we'll find out. Story here. Excerpt:

'The ruling overturned an appeals court decision last year that said there is no basis for a palimony suit unless a couple lived together.

"It is the promise of support, expressed or implied, coupled with a marital-type relationship, that are the indispensable elements to support a valid claim of palimony," Justice John Wallace wrote for the court.

The high court was ruling in the case of a former North Bergen woman who was attempting to sue a prominent, wealthy and married Manhattan ophthalmologist for palimony after he ended a 20-year relationship.'

'A woman who claimed she was an angel sent from God to punish pedophiles was convicted Friday of murdering two boyfriends by a jury that rejected her insanity defense. Sheila LaBarre, 49, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. In 2006, police found her burning trash that contained the bones of one of her victims… defense lawyers argued that LaBarre was a delusional woman who believed every man in her life was a pedophile and who saw herself as an avenging angel. Her attorney stated - "It continues to be our belief that she's deeply crazy and insane."

The verdict will be appealed.'

'We pause briefly to ponder the kind of response Mr. Obama might have received had he decided to criticize negligent moms on Mother's Day. No one in his right mind would do such a thing, but we're so accustomed to dissing dads that even a Father's Day reprimand leaves America's eyelashes unruffled.
...
On Mother's Day, we didn't hear much about women initiating domestic violence, including child abuse, though some studies show that they do more often than men. That's not a popular statistic for the good reason that women more often than men suffer grave injury and are killed in physical disputes.'

A woman who wanted to force her ex husband to get a physical so that she could get a life insurance policy on him loses her case to the Nebraska Supreme Court. She wanted this life insurance policy so that if he died, she would get a large payout in lieu of the lost alimony checks.

I sure hope the family court lawyers don't read this article and get any ideas about applying such a protection mechanism for continuing child support payments after the non custodial parent dies.

Seventeen girls get in a pact to get pregnant and have their babies at the same time. The Mayor's and media's immediate response: the girls are victims; we must go after the boys criminally or, at least, financially. The Mayor also mentions that the girls lack self esteem or love in their life. Does this make them victims when they get themselves pregnant? Excerpt:

'Some of the girls reacted to the news they were pregnant with high fives and plans for baby showers, Sullivan said. One of the fathers "is a 24-year-old homeless guy," Sullivan told the magazine. Others were boys in the school.
...
"At the very least these men should be held responsible for financial support, if not put in jail for statutory rape as the mayor has suggested," Greg Verga, chairman of the Gloucester School Committee, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
...
"But even if we had contraceptives, that pact shows that if they wanted to get pregnant, they will get pregnant. Whether we distribute contraceptives is irrelevant," said Verga.'

Looks like earning more than your date makes no difference. That's right guys, it's still YOUR ROLE to pay for dates, hold open doors, etc. Just read it here and it will all be explained to you.

Notice it isn't something for a woman to appreciate about a man. It's something she should just expect. As for you expecting anything from her, well... here's a snap:

'Oh, you want me to say more? Gladly! What’s changed in the world, you ask? Two things: (1) women have continued to make great strides (yay), and (2) our culture has become much more informal (both yay and boo). The problem arises with this whole crazy notion that strong feminist women do not want doors held open for them… or that somehow the feminist movement has absolved men from paying for any date, ever, again.'

So tell me, men, when was the last time a woman asked you out on a date and also paid for it? But when was the last time she stood there smiling sheepishly waiting for *you* to do the asking?

Story here. Excerpt:

'A father plans to appeal after a Quebec court ruled that he didn't have the right to punish his 12-year-old daughter by barring her from a school trip.

Quebec Superior Court Judge Suzanne Tessier ruled Friday that the girl should be allowed to attend the three-day trip within Quebec this week.

Initially, the father forbade his daughter from going online after the Grade 6 student posted photos on a dating site, the Globe and Mail reported in its Thursday edition.

The girl's parents are divorced, and after she had an alleged row with her stepmother, her father barred her from going on a school trip to mark the class's graduation from elementary school, the newspaper reported.

...
Two days later, the judge ruled the punishment was too severe because the girl had already been sufficiently disciplined, Beaudoin said.

Beaudoin said the judge also said there was no reason for the punishment to stand, since the girl was now living with her mother, even though the father has custody.

CNN calls it a "big surprise" that men could be the deciding factor in the next US presidential election.

Think that'll get our issued heard? Naw!! Excerpt:

"(CNN) — After the long, bruising primary battle with Hillary Clinton, a lot of Democrats were concerned Barack Obama would have a problem getting support from women, but the big surprise is that it could be men who become the deciding factor this election cycle.

'Julie Pritchett, 34, is charged with two counts of second-degree sodomy and one count of second-degree sexual abuse in the cases of two boys under 16. The victims in the cases with which she is charged are under the age of consent.

Charges are not being brought in the other identified incidents because the boys are of consenting age or unwilling to cooperate with authorities...
...
Pritchett was the sponsor for the high school's Diamond Dolls, the hostesses for the baseball team. It was through that position, Christian said, that she came into contact with some of her former students who were involved in the high school sports program.

Christian said Pritchett started a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old former student. That relationship led to sex acts with his friends, Christian said.

The sex acts were initiated by Pritchett, who used several methods of approaching the boys, Christian said. Some of the acts took place on the school's campus and others at the homes of the victims.'

"An eight year-old boy was skinned and his flesh fed to cannibal relatives after his mother kept him locked in a cellar, a court has heard.

Evil Klara Mauerova - a member of a sinister religious cult - wept in court as she admitted torturing her son Ondrej and his ten year-old brother Jakub.
...
The court heard how the family had sexually abused them and even made them cut themselves with knives. They said they were kept in cages or handcuffed to tables and made to stand in their own urine for days.

The sick abuse was discovered when a man in Brno in the Czech Republic installed a TV baby monitor to keep watch on is newborn child."

She was assisted by her sister Katerina and by 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova. But wait: It's all a man's fault

'The court has also heard claims that the abuse of the boys was co-ordinated by a man known only as "the Doctor" who sent mobile phone text messages to the Mauerova sisters telling them how to abuse the two boys.'

"Men and women really do think differently, according to researchers who say the explanation lies in subtle genetic variations in our brains.

A new study has suggested that some patterns of behaviour regarded as typical of each sex - such as the ability to read a map - could be founded on nature as well as nurture.

Researchers at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, have determined that there are hundreds of biological differences between the male and female brains when it comes to gene expression.

Many mental traits and skills are said to differ between the sexes, including empathy, aggression, risk-taking and navigation."
