Feminists at Colorado College can distribute material about "male castration," but if men distribute a satirical response, they get charged with violating a campus code. You can post comments under the story and email the Bulletin at publisher-at-thebulletin.us and jkidd-at-thebulletin.us.

Excerpt:

'A Colorado college has found two students guilty of violating the conduct code against violence after the students distributed a satirical flyer poking fun at the college's Feminist and Gender Studies program. Chris Robinson and a second student who wished to remain nameless now must hold a campus forum to discuss the very issues that landed them in hot water.

'The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit...
... Sen. Clinton has managed to commit both of these offenses to veracity and decency and how in doing so she has rivaled, if not indeed surpassed, the disbarred and perjured hack who is her husband and tutor.

"Yahoo is taking aim at the distinct content and buying power of women with a new Website called Shine.

Women in the male dominated technology business said there is a real need for Web content that speaks directly to women. They said Websites like Shine and Channelweb Women of the Channel are necessary to educate young girls to compete in corporate America.

Steward said she hopes Shine addresses how woman think differently than men. "Understanding how woman work is critical," she said. "We work differently. Woman are extreme multitaskers. Because of this the way we do business is very different. We leap ahead five or ten steps."

Men’s Issues Matter Too - by Hillary Clinton*

April 1, 2008

The following is a transcript of the speech given by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the California Men’s Center this morning:

Welcome. It is good to see you all here this morning.

Firstly, I would like to thank the National Coalition of Free Men, and Harry Crouch, director of the California Men’s Center, for inviting me here to speak today.

As you all probably know, I have long been an advocate for women’s rights and issues. However, it has become increasingly clear to me during my presidential campaign that I have overlooked the issues that American men face. Well, I have done some soul searching on these issues, and have had a change of heart in my approach toward gender politics. After all, men’s issues matter too, and I will now detail my new ideas here.

Two months ago RADAR blew the whistle on a junk science report from the federal Centers for Disease Control. The report purported to show that in their lifetime, women are more than twice as likely as men to suffer from intimate partner violence – 23.6% vs. 11.5%.

The problem is the CDC researchers loaded the questionnaire, counting any "attempts" or "threats" of violence, or "any unwanted sex," on the same level as actual acts of violence – and then lumping all the answers together!

So on February 11 we put out an Alert – and thousands of you responded!

Then the CDC rechecked the raw numbers. OOOPS! Turns out the numbers were wrong – but the CDC didn't explain why. The percentages are actually 26.4% for women vs. 15.9% for men. So on March 7 the CDC issued a correction.

But here we are almost two months later, and the CDC has not fixed the main problem – three of the four questions they used have not been validated.

The CDC needs to hear from you – TODAY!

Email CDC director Dr. Julie Gerberding at jyg2-at-cdc.gov, or call her office at 1-404-639-7000.

Even though it's common sense to anyone with a brain, a study shows that you are still able to catch STDs no matter how mutilated your penis is.

Excerpt:

Circumcision does not appear to shield men from the types of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) common in the developed world, according to new research by Dr. Nigel P. Dickson and colleagues in the Journal of Pediatrics.from New Zealand.

Article here. Excerpt:

"Anti-feminists on the other hand propound that women have advanced in all spheres and share equal status in the world and due to this reason feminism is not required.

The view of anti-feminists that women are not dependant on men and that they share equal status, shows that this ideology is very different from male chauvinism.

Masculinism is associated with men’s rights and seeks to promote them. Masculinism, like anti-feminism, is also a response to feminism, but masculinism gets into concerns of equal child rights and social issues affecting men’s rights.

Masculinism is thus a counterpart of feminism and seeks to empower males in society and redress discrimination against them. Anti-feminists differ from masculists as anti-feminism is an ideology against feminism rather than an advocacy of male rights."

Article here. Excerpt:

'But as I sat in the stands of my local indoor soccer facility, watching my son's under-12 boys team being physically abused by a girls team, I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps feminism has finally gone too far.

During the game, I saw a female player actually punch one of our boys in the back of his head (the ref did not see it) and later, I saw my own son's face being smashed into the boards by another young lady. (The ref did see that.) I noted the parents of the girls' team smiling smugly whenever one of their players managed to knock over one of our boys.

...
We drill it into our boys' heads from a very young age that they should never push, shove or hit a girl; if anything, they are to step to the defense of a girl when necessary. Then we put them all out on the soccer field -- basketball court, wrestling mat, pick a sport -- together where the boys are supposed to be as physically competitive with girls as they would be with boys. We are confusing our boys.

Story here. Excerpt:

'"The enrollment gap is undeniable," said Sanford Shugart, president of Valencia Community College, "but our belief is that raising the achievements of all students will help close that gap."

Shugart and other administrators say they have no plans to launch recruitment drives to increase male enrollment, nor do they envision reaching a point where they would.
...
At least one of those schools is trying to get a few more good men.

St. Petersburg College opened The Male Outreach Center last year -- modeled in part after a nearly 30-year-old on-campus drop-in program for women -- to recruit and retain male students, especially blacks and Hispanics, who statistically tend to struggle more than others in college.

Some think more schools should open similar programs because of the rising need among men for career training. Changes in the economy are eliminating well-paid blue-collar jobs that once allowed men to earn a living wage without a college degree.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'A woman who falsely accused a soldier of rape has been described as "wicked" by the judge who sentenced her to a year in jail.

Amanda Lang, 21, had consensual sex with Lance Corporal Philip Trowell after drinking with him at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire. The act took place in Lang's bedroom which she shared with her pilot boyfriend.
...
"For a few days this man's life was turned upside down. You persisted with your story for 15 months so all the time he thought he was going to have to give evidence to prove you were lying.
...
"That is the evil of what you did - it undermines the whole process. This is a case where a message has to be sent out to everybody that false allegations of rape are insidious to a degree."'

Misandrist B.S. here. Excerpt:

'More often than not, guys interpret even friendly cues, such as a subtle smile from a gal, as a sexual come-on, and a new study discovers why: Guys are clueless.

More precisely, they are somewhat oblivious to the emotional subtleties of non-verbal cues, according to a new study of college students.

"Young men just find it difficult to tell the difference between women who are being friendly and women who are interested in something more," said lead researcher Coreen Farris of Indiana University's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.'

Story here. Excerpt:

"Authorities in the Florida Panhandle say they have arrested a woman suspected of severely neglecting a 4-year-old boy.

Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Haines says the boy weighed only 10 pounds when he was hospitalized earlier this month but his condition is improving.

Deputies on Friday arrested 19-year-old Erin Brittany Markes, identifying her only as the boy's caregiver."

Article here. While female teachers are banging their students, the police are arresting men for filming public cheerleading events and calling it child pornography. Excerpt:

"WOODLAND – Gilbert Chan, a business reporter at The Bee, pleaded not guilty Friday to a felony charge of possession of child pornography.

Chan, 52, of Davis was arrested after trying to conceal a camera he was using to videotape a youth cheerleading competition at UC Davis on Feb. 3, police said."

After decades of railing against the damage teen magazines inflict on girls' self-esteem,
someone finally thought to stand up for the boys, too.

"'Lads' Magazines have been increasingly successful in recent years, and have attracted criticism for an alleged potential to exploit women rather than cause problems for their readership.
...
Professor Naomi Fineberg, a consultant psychiatrist who runs a treatment service for people with obsessive compulsive disorder, said that men and women suffered equally from body dysmorphic disorder."

Also, it's good to see that they specifically pointed out (scathingly!) the tendency to put women's rights before men's. "[A]n alleged potential to exploit women". I couldn't have chosen a more appropriate word.

I'm glad to see further evidence that not all women are blinded by their sex; both of the women mentioned in the article seem rather enlightened about gender equality.

I saw this in today's Wall Street Journal at the supermarket, and looked it up online. I couldn't get through the whole thing without puking. The article misstates the reasons why men are reluctant to vote for Hillary, and frames the resistance as "sexist backlash" instead.

Uh, what about men's issues, Hillary. I'd vote for a woman who was evenhanded with regard to men's and women's issues. Excerpt:

'When Sen. Clinton started her presidential campaign more than a year ago, she said she wanted to shatter the ultimate glass ceiling. But many of her supporters see something troubling in the sometimes bitter resistance to her campaign and the looming possibility of her defeat: a seeming backlash against the opportunities women have gained.
