‘Ardently feminist’ Title IX offices promote hookup culture while presuming male guilt: report

Article here. Excerpt:

'When it comes to federal enforcement of Title IX, past is prologue. And it’s clear how a Biden-Harris administration would approach the subject: the same way the Obama-Biden administration did.

Paired with a radical feminist culture within university Title IX offices, the 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter decimated due process for accused students in sexual assault investigations, according to a report by the National Association of Scholars.

Those who staff these Title IX offices lack legal experience but conduct and rule on internal investigations while promoting a philosophy of “sexual hedonism,” report author Teresa Manning, policy director at NAS, said on a webinar in late October.

She’s a former law professor who more recently served in the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services.'

Duke professor blames white men for white female professors impersonating women of color

Article here. Excerpt:

'There’s really nothing in this world the regressive left won’t blame on white men. Not even white women passing themselves off as black, Hispanic or American Indian (ahem).

The latest Caucasian outed as something she’s allegedly not – the Mexican-political identity “Chicana” – is Kelly Kean Sharp of Furman University in South Carolina.
...
Duke University cultural anthropologist Christine Folch, who also weighed in on the Jessica Krug outing at George Washington University, told the publication that the absence of white men pulling these stunts shows their privilege:

“And at the root I think what we see is a competition for scarce resources on the part of those who are not the hegemonic ideal in academia, which remains white male.”

Can Space Force Be the First Military Branch Built for Women?

Article here. Excerpt:

'For nearly 250 years, the U.S. military has designed its machines, career paths, and uniforms through a male lens. Now, the Space Force has a chance to make history as the only military branch built with women in mind from the start.

The Space Force, created in December 2019 to manage military satellite and radar operations and rocket launches, is the sole branch of the armed forces in which women have held equal roles from the beginning. In the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, women have spent the past few centuries gradually integrating into a lifestyle and workplace created largely by men, for men.

Canada: No boys allowed: High school students start their own all-girl robotics club

Article here. Excerpt:

'Cyanea Zheng and Isabella Wehner were excited to join their high school’s robotics club last year, but not so excited to discover they would be asked to send out funding applications instead of building robots.

So the Grade 12 Templeton Secondary students, both 17, decided to start their own club, and formed Puddle Jumper Robotics, the only all-girls team in B.C. and the first such team to compete in the international FIRST Robotics Competition in the spring.

Zheng and Wehner are among the 11 members of the Puddle Jumpers, which exists separately from the school’s 40-member male team called Vancouver Rainstorm, against whom they will compete.

“When I first joined (the school’s Vancouver Rainstorm), there were 40 males and I was asked to do the emailing and writing (of fundraising and grant applications), stereotypically things that were done by women, I guess,” said Zheng. “It was the girls who were doing most of the fundraising.”'

Millions Of Men No Longer Want To Get Married, And You Can Thank The Government For That

Article here. Excerpt:

'In a society that strives for equality, maybe these gender laws are outdated? Women make up 50% of the labor force, so why do we claim unfair gender divides regarding marriage and family disputes? If the risks involved in entering marriage were equally distributed, perhaps more men will feel like they have less to lose?

It's such a minefield, and change might not happen fast. Still, if we want to see men viewing marriage in a positive light again so we can continue to have strong family units, it will take a long-term focused effort from women, men, and the government. Being aware of the issues men face, empathizing, and trying to see it from their perspective is a great place to start.'

A Professor’s Crusade Against Women-Only Programs & Awards

Article here. Excerpt:

'Mark Perry has been called a skunk at a lawn party. His actions have fueled protests and even a college sit-in. Some of his critics consider him a politically-incorrect, misogynistic enfant terrible. But the business school professor at the University of Michigan-Flint makes no apologies for the unusual crusade he is waging in higher education.

Perry, a 67-year-old professor of economics, is at war against any educational program, club or initiative, including scholarship support, that is exclusive for women if there are no equivalent offerings for men. In the past four years, he has filed nearly 250 complaints alleging civil rights violations for organizations that support everything from coding camps for girls and scholarship awards for women to women’s only lounges on campus and faculty awards to encourage and support female professors.'

How Title IX Created the Campus Sex Police

Article here. Excerpt:

'When Congress enacted Title IX in 1972, the intent of the federal law was to ban discrimination against women at higher-ed institutions receiving federal funds. The application of the law morphed over the years to require equal funding of women’s athletic programs, ban “hostile” workplace environments, and in 2011 under Obama administration administrative guidance, root out sexual violence.

In a new report published by the National Academy of Scholars, “Dear Colleague: The Weaponization of Title IX,” Teresa Manning documents how at James Madison University, George Mason University and Virginia Tech, among other higher-ed institutions, the law is no longer applied to equal access issues, which are no longer a concern, but is used to advance a feminist agenda.'

Joe Biden Should Stop Bragging About the Violence Against Women Act

Article here. Excerpt:

'The idea that the U.S. ignored domestic violence until Biden and boomer feminists came along has become a popular one. But it doesn't square with the historical record, which shows not only that feminists have long prioritized stopping domestic abuse, but that there has long been a divide between those who believe that mandating aggressive police intervention helps women, and those who see law enforcement as doing more harm than good. Understanding that divide is necessary for understanding not only how VAWA came to pass, but why it has failed to accomplish its stated goals.

She just turned 18, but unlike her male friends she’s not required to register for the Selective Service, because it only applies to “male persons.”

Thankfully, serving her country won’t be an issue, because she’s been considering starting her own business.

It’s something she knows nothing about, but there are tons of resources at her disposal, like those from the Office of Women’s Business Ownership (OWBO).

It’s a Small Business Administration (SBA) program that offers access to credit, capital, federal contracts, and business counseling services that are unavailable to men.'

Australia: Prior false complaints cannot be admitted in NSW rape trial, court rules

Article here. Excerpt:

'A jury in a NSW rape trial cannot be told about a complainant's alleged history of making false complaints and any change to the law would need to be made by Parliament, the Court of Criminal Appeal has said.

In a decision on Friday, a five-judge bench of the court said NSW laws protecting sexual assault complainants from being cross-examined about their sexual history also stopped evidence of prior false complaints being admitted in court.

Chief Justice Tom Bathurst said parliamentary speeches "make it clear that the purpose of the statutory prohibition is to prevent embarrassing and humiliating cross-examination about past sexual activities which it was believed was a deterrent in reporting sexual offences".

But a long line of cases ruled it also extended to alleged false complaints, and "any change to the law in this area is a matter for the legislature not for the courts", he said.'

Yes, women's equality will come at the expense of some men — that's the point

Article here. Excerpt:

'A new report by the Pew Research Center shows that one in four American men believe increased equality for women has come at their expense. My initial reaction to these survey results is frustration and a compulsive urge to convince these men that gender equality is not a zero-sum game. But I can't. Because the truth is that gender equality does hurt white, cisgender-men in some ways. The real question is: so what?

From the economy to public health, we all stand to gain when women win. And while wins for women means that mostly white, cis-men will lose more often, this isn't an injustice — it's what justice actually looks like. It might be difficult to discern at first because for white, cis-men in America, the loss of privilege will hurt. But don't mistake a loss of privilege for unfairness. Men aren't being punished for women's equality — they're just no longer benefiting as much from the lack thereof.'

Australia: Woman Spends One Week in Jail for Sex with 15-Year-Old Student

'“Melissa Nosti, 33, who lives in a suburb of Sydney, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in the slammer for having sex with the student at the school where she worked in 2010,” the New York Post reported Friday.

However, when the ex-flight attendant appeared in court via video from the Silverwater jail, her lawyer made a bail appeal, saying Nosti was at “low risk” for exhibiting similar behavior a second time based on a doctor’s assessment.

“She has had an employment history after this. She was in the airline industry,” her lawyer stated.

Following the appeal, Nosti was released on bail, according to the Daily Star.'

“I Hate Men” is the New “Boys Will be Boys”

...
The question, though, is how can you believe men should be allowed to be soft, show emotions and be sensitive, but then still say things like “Kill every man!” to your male friends? Should they be expected to toughen up and allow it to just roll off their shoulders?
...
We cannot simultaneously expect men to be sensitive while yelling at them that we hate them and telling them our words shouldn’t impact them. Words matter.'

Lawsuit Against DeVos, Title IX Rules Is Dismissed

Article here. Excerpt:

'A judge for the United States District Court for the District of Maryland dismissed a lawsuit on Tuesday that was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of organizations that advocate for survivors of sexual assault and challenged the new federal rules for how colleges handle sexual misconduct allegations. The organizations do not have standing under the U.S. Constitution to sue, the court concluded.

The lawsuit against U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos claimed that the Department of Education’s regulations implemented in August under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the law prohibiting sex discrimination at federally funded institutions, were themselves discriminatory against students who report sexual assault or harassment. It also claimed the department overstepped its authority in developing the regulations, which ultimately would harm the organizations that defend the rights of survivors, such as Know Your IX and Stop Sexual Assault in Schools.'
