'A FEMALE teacher who allegedly told a 15-year-old male student to treat her like a sex slave has been charged with sexually penetrating a child.

Nazira Rafei, 25, a Melbourne high school teacher, is charged with one count of sexually penetrating a child under 16 and four counts of an indecent act with a child under 16.'

This is happening more and more isn't it? Yet, these women are being portrayed as victims. There is no such thing as taking responsibility for their actions. No one holds these women accountable.

I don't care about the people that say "good for the boy!" or "where were these teachers when I was a boy?" That is NOT the
point! The point is this: SO CALLED EQUALITY. If YOU (women) want to be treated as equal, then make it so on everything.

True, maybe some boys won't be traumatized and some will. The point is legal age of consent. If a man must adhere to the legal age of consent, then women wanting to be like man must adhere to the same laws.

'NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - How much a father is involved in the daily care of his children is largely up to his wife or partner, according to new research.

Scientists from Ohio State University and the University of Illinois, who studied 97 couples, said mothers are play an important role in determining how active a role the father plays.

"Mothers can be very encouraging to fathers and open the gate to their involvement in child care, or be very critical and close the gate," said Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan, a professor of human development and family science at Ohio State University and a co-author of the study.'

"Are women really discriminated against in politics? Sen. Hillary Clinton surely thinks so.

Indeed, she believes this year's presidential campaign has shown that sexism limits women's influence in politics. She claimed last week that "every poll I've seen shows more people would be reluctant to vote for a woman [than] to vote for an African American."

It's possible that Democrats are particularly sexist, but with women making up the majority of voters, one would think that politicians were ignoring women at their own peril.

In 2004, women made up 54 percent of voters. At least through early February of this year, women made up a much greater share of Democrat primary voters — accounting for between 57 and 61 percent of the vote in primaries and caucuses.

But whatever difficulties Clinton might be having, it seems that the policies adopted are much more important than who puts them into action, and the evidence indicates that women have long gotten their way."

"Muslim extremist women are challenging al Qaeda's refusal to include - or at least acknowledge - women in its ranks, in an emotional debate that gives rare insight into the gender conflicts lurking beneath one of the strictest strains of Islam.

In response to a female questioner, al Qaeda No. 2 leader Ayman Al-Zawahri said in April that the terrorist group does not have women. A woman's role, he said on the Internet audio recording, is limited to caring for the homes and children of al Qaeda fighters.

His remarks have since prompted an outcry from fundamentalist women, who are fighting or pleading for the right to be terrorists. The statements have also created some confusion, because in fact suicide bombings by women seem to be on the rise, at least within the Iraq branch of al Qaeda."

"A few short observations of my own from soul searching:

---I doubted myself and the events, afraid that I'd be laughed at or worse, accused of making a false allegation.
--I knew my masculinity would be called into question and that I'd be ridiculed.
--I doubted myself and thought maybe I misunderstood the nature of rape and that men really can't be raped.
--I was afraid she'd make good on her implied threat and accuse me of rape or claim it was consensual. Then I could possibly be charged with both rape and child endangerment (or a related charge) due to her pregnancy. I wasn't going to go to prison for a rapist.
--I knew that such an allegation would endanger my status in the Marine Corps.
--I knew that my consumption of alcohol (underage) would be used against me as well."

'A kindergarten teacher told police she wanted a 5-year-old boy to hear how his behavior was affecting his classmates.

After students shared their view, Morningside Elementary teacher Wendy Portillo had them vote, but said the vote was only to keep Alex Barton out of class for the day, not for good.

"Portillo said she did this as she felt that if (Alex) heard from his classmates how his behavior affected them that it would make a bigger difference to him, rather than just hearing it from adults," according to a report released Thursday morning by the Port St. Lucie Police Department.'

"The Boy Crisis in education, if there ever was one, is over. Or so says a report issued last week by the powerful and influential American Association of University Women. For the last 18 months, I've criss-crossed the country, talking to parents, teachers, and policymakers for a book I'm writing about boys and schools. What is abundantly clear is that there's large and growing group of people who just aren't buying the AAUW's position and that they're not who you might think they'd be. Some of the very same (mostly female) teachers and librarians who helped raise up the achievement of girls over the last fifteen years are now struggling to find ways to get boys re-engaged with learning. And there's a growing constituency of smart, empowered, and increasingly vocal women -- mothers of school-aged boys -- who are intensely concerned about what's happening to their sons in school."

"Singh was an English teacher at Richmond Hill High School. Authorities said she slept with the boy in Brooklyn. They said that on the same occasion she also had sex with the boy's two 18-year-old cousins. It's not clear whether the three were students at Singh's school.

Singh's lawyer said her client was victimized. She said the boy and his two 18-year-old cousins took advantage of her.

The lawyer said Singh has been on medical leave since November after suffering a nervous breakdown and was on medication at the time she had sex with the teenagers"

This is a joke, guys, not a real story. Here goes:

'WASHINGTON, DC: N.O.W. spokesperson Menar Allbad answered questions from reporters today after the organization announced it would be dispatching its Emergency Women's Liberation Response Team to Brazil to enlighten, re-educate, and if need be, rescue by force, at least one woman being held captive in a primitive tribal setting in Brazil.

"We were deeply disturbed about the recent BBC story regarding a plane's overflight of a remote Brazilian village inhabited by so-called indigenous people," offered Ms. Allbad. "And while we don't wish to sound Eurocentric in our thinking, and respecting their cultural standards, we must also acknowledge such a place is certain to be filled with male chauvinist-oppressors who, by providing for and standing in defense of women in the tribe, contribute to the on-going, endless oppression of women and children.

The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is exhibiting "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy"

They have an interesting take on female superheroes:

"Superhero comics have tended to promote an ideology that is both masculinist and driven to mastery. Nowhere are these biases more blatant than in the representation of female superheroes. With unabashed and unapologetic obviousness, women are portrayed as objects of male desire and fantasy with absurdly exaggerated sexual characteristics."

Surely, muscle-bound Superman is a caricature of masculinity just as Catwoman is a caricature of femininity. Why do they think that the exaggerated characteristics of male superheroes don't make them objects of female desire and fantasy? Why is the ideology "masculinist" and "chauvinistic"? Male superheroes, more often than not, use their powers to protect women and seek a woman's approval. Female superheroes are liberated from that, and have no such constraints put upon them and aren't held to the same moral standards.

Another MSM article about girls, math, and so-called "sexism." Excerpt:

'Researchers believe they may have found at least one answer: where girls live. Girls living in countries where there is more gender equality perform better in math, sometimes outpacing boys, than girls who live in countries with more male-dominated societies.
...
Generally, there are two explanations for the gender gap in math, according to Sapienza: biological and environmental. The biological reasoning says that boys are naturally better in math based on research involving spatial tests.

"It's not very strong evidence because we don't have strong correlation between spatial abilities and math scores," she said.'
