"She Stole My Voice" - Ground-breaking documentary on lesbian rape

This new documentary, She Stole My Voice, is utterly ground-breaking. I've seen it so I can say that with a clear conscience. It takes on femnist misandry and distortions head-on and exposes a reality that people of both sexes are oblivious to or in denial of.

Warning to viewers, it has some graphic parts. This is a serious documentary and it should be referred to whenever someone tries to throw the old "rape is only or primarily a crime against women done by men" line at you. The producers are both women and they have interviews with women in rape crisis centers as well, stating that this problem is real and is more common than anyone expects. It also refers to the coercion some women experience by staff and/or other women living there in "women's shelters" to have sex with them, and if they don't-- there's the door.

Update: Elderly Women Guilty In Homeless Murders

Story here.

Two elderly women accused of killing two homeless men to collect millions of dollars in insurance payouts were convicted Wednesday of conspiracy to murder, and one of them was convicted of the murders themselves. Excerpt:

'Prosecutors said the women collected $2.8 million from insurance policies on the lives of two homeless men who were killed in staged hit-and-runs.

Golay's convictions carry potential sentences of life in prison without possibility of parole. The single conspiracy count returned against Rutterschmidt carries a sentence of 25 years to life.
...
In his closing argument, Deputy District Attorney Bobby Grace called the women "the worst of the worst."

"They didn't need this money. They weren't poor and destitute. They went out of their way to target men who had nothing," the prosecutor said."'

Soon -- No More Daddies Needed

Story here. Excerpt:

'A scientific technique that could allow same-sex couples to create their own biological child in a laboratory should be allowed under law, a group of influential scientists said on Monday.

The experts, all international leaders in embryology research, called on ministers not to restrict such "important" research.

The laboratory creation of eggs and sperm from other cells could offer hope to thousands of people unable to have children of their own.

Although the creation of both sperm and eggs in a laboratory is still at an early stage, the Hinxton group, made up of 40 world-renowned experts, estimates that the procedure could be used to create human foetuses within 15 years.'

MSN: Wife and Husband's "Bills of Rights"

Wife's

Husband's

Compare and contrast... the list for husbands asks for small ways in which he is "allowed" to be alive and just be himself without getting whacked. The wife's list is the ways in which she is allowed to curtail his life and decide how he is to behave toward her.

Reminds me of some of those "duties of the master/slave" lists that have popped up throughout history.

Female Teacher arrested again on sex charges

Story here. Excerpt:

"Hillsborough County detectives say a teacher has been arrested for a second time on charges she had sex with another student.

This time, investigators say 28-year-old Stephanie Ragusa allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old student at Davidsen Middle School where she was a teacher, and they say the pair had at least 20 encounters over the course of several months.

In all, detectives believe Ragusa and the 15-year-old boy had sex more than 20 times between February 2007 and March 2008. They also say Ragusa gave the boy condoms and alcohol over the course of the relationship.

Last month, Ragusa was charged with having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old Davidsen Middle School student. She was arrested on March 13, and deputies say in that case she had a number of different encounters with the boy between January 2007 and March 2007."

Study: Divorce, unwed parenting costs billions

Story here. Excerpt:

'Divorce and out-of-wedlock childbearing cost U.S. taxpayers more than $112 billion a year, according to a study commissioned by four groups advocating more government action to bolster marriages.

Sponsors say the study is the first of its kind and hope it will prompt lawmakers to invest more money in programs aimed at strengthening marriages. Two experts not connected to the study said such programs are of dubious merit and suggested that other investments -- notably job creation -- would be more effective in aiding all types of needy families.

"We're now nearing 40 percent of kids in America born out of wedlock," she said. "I can't fathom that those marriage programs, even with increased investment, are going to reduce that."

Blankenhorn said it was "fair criticism" to note that the study made multiple references to marriage-strengthening programs while not proposing other strategies for reducing the cost of family fragmentation.'

Yet another way to get at those darned Deadbeat Dads' money

Idaho’s laws make prosecuting rape difficult from all perspectives

Article here. Excerpt:

'“Once a citizen is labeled a sex offender, it’s the same as a civil death penalty,” he said. “We’ve made the penalties so severe that offenders now are disillusioned to admit wrongdoing, and as a result we’re having many more trials and many more acquittals.”

He believes that the laws have consistently grown in favor of the accuser for the past 20 years. One thing that makes rape charges hard to defend against is the rape shield law. Under this law, the sexual history of the accuser is not allowed to be used in the defense of the accused, unless the accuser has made false allegations of sex crimes in the past, the accused believes that someone else was the source of semen, the accused has a history of sexual behavior with the accuser or if the accuser was engaging in sexual behavior with other parties at the time of the alleged attack.'
