"The women’s rights movement has now proven to be the most destructive force on the face of the earth. Before 1920, feminists made promises and based their arguments on things for which they have never been held accountable, nor produced. To the contrary, their actions have brought the opposite results. Let us therefore grade feminism and see how it has fared..."

"There was no shortage of cookies or controversy yesterday at the College Republican's "Anti-Feminist Bake Sale."

The event was met by a crowd of protesters who accused the Republicans of misrepresenting the facts about feminism.

As part of Conservative Week, the College Republicans held their bake sale on the front steps of the Education Building, selling cookies, brownies and other treats for 50 cents each.

Members of the club also handed out a sheet of quotes, which they labeled "The Radical Feminist Agenda."

Some of the quotes included:

"All men are rapists, and that's all they are," said by author Marilyn French.

Other quotes compared marriage to slavery, and life as a suburban housewife to life in a concentration camp."

Ed. note: There is more than one Bowling Green University/College. The one whose student paper this story references is in Ohio; its web site is here.

Its great to see a student publication acknowledge fathers' rights. Excerpt:

"After thanking the group for their work and making reference to his campaign, Obama told the group, “I think about my own two daughters, Sasha and Malia; and, sometimes it makes me stop and it makes me wonder, ‘What kind of America will our daughters grow up in? What kind of America will our daughters grow up in? Will our daughters grow up with the same opportunities as our sons? Will our daughters have the same rights, the same dreams and the same freedoms to pursue their own version of happiness?’”

Frankly, the idea that sons have any rights-- much less equal rights-- in the abortion decision is to live in the archaic notions about the role of a father in the family. Sons and, therefore, fathers, have no rights or protections regarding the decision to abort a child."

'Fathers and children rights custody groups in Israel protesting gender bias discrimination in court custody cases have intensified their public demonstrations.

Last week hundreds of divorced and single fathers met in Tel Aviv to demand joint and or equal custody in a non-violent protest covered by both Israel TV and several local newspapers. The fathers are demanding that the Israel Knesset, Israel family court judges and Israel child welfare departments adopt reforms in the existing Israel Family Custodian Act of 1962 which states that all children under the age of six will automatically have custody under their mother, unless the mother is violent, drug abuser or negligent.

Fathers 4 Justice Israel hijacked all media attention at the Ra'anana annual marathon race this past weekend, with both fathers and their children lining up at the starting line of the Ra'anana run with signs stating: "Children Need Fathers, Not Visitors".'

"Girls and boys learn differently, so they should have an option to be taught separately.
...
Both genders are more likely to take courses they might not have traditionally taken.
...
Boys or girls can get less of a quality education if they don't have access to the same resources.
...
Research hasn't proved an academic benefit."

Contrast the preceding to this article:

"Parents, please note -- co-educational schools are better as the presence of girls in the classes "calm" boys and improve their academic performance as well, a new study has revealed.

"The way the advertising industry portrays men has drawn increasing scrutiny in both the trade press and the mainstream media. Defenders of the status quo -- in which men are depicted as irresponsible fathers and lazy, foolish husbands -- are starting to feel outnumbered. It's an understandable feeling.
...
Defenders of the advertising status quo generally put forth the following arguments: Males are "privileged" and "it's men's turn," so it's OK to portray them this way, and that men simply don't care how they're portrayed. Both of these arguments are highly questionable.

Young males certainly aren't privileged. The vast majority of learning-disabled students are boys, and boys are four times as likely as girls to receive diagnoses of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Girls get better grades than boys and are much more likely than boys to graduate high school and enter college. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, women earn 60% of all bachelor's degrees and 60% of all master's degrees."

"Hormone surges among City traders could be partly responsible for driving 'boom and bust' economics, say researchers.

The Cambridge study measured testosterone levels in a small group of male City of London traders at both 11am and 4pm, and matched these to the levels of profit or loss recorded for that day.
...
'At times like these, economics has to consider the physiology of investors, not just their rationality.'"

Wait. So men are now also responsible for economic crises? How good to know.

They don't come out and say, "More women should be hired to minimize the risk posed by men," but it's certainly implied. And even a quick glance at the article makes clear the very unscientific manner in which this "research" was carried out.

Title IX meets religious vandalism... Report here. Excerpt:

'YORKTOWN, N.Y. (CBS) ― A quiet summer time synagogue nestled in the woods along Lake Mohegan has suffered extensive damage from vandals. Walls have been defaced with slogans, a torah scroll was left torn and twisted on the floor, an antique menorah was ripped from its stand, and swastikas were scrawled on the walls.
...
Police quickly apprehended three suspects - teenage girls for the vandalism.

Barbara Nokaj, 18, Michelle Bushell, 17, and a 15-year-old whose name was withheld because she is a minor.'

Department of Justice statistics show domestic violence (DV) in married, intact couples is only 2%. So why do the public and state legislators believe that partner violence is out of control?

Each year the federal government bankrolls the domestic violence industry to the tune of $1 billion. That money is authorized by the Violence Against Woman Act (VAWA) and other laws.

Much of that money is awarded to state domestic violence coalitions. In at least three cases – New Hampshire, Maine, and West Virginia – these coalitions have denied membership to organizations that proposed to provide domestic violence services to male victims of domestic violence in spite of Section 40002(b)(8) of VAWA 2005 which states, "Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit male victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from receiving benefits and services under this title".

Police say the 44-year-old teacher is charged with third-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Both are misdemeanors.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Education says the teacher will be reassigned away from the school and students, pending the outcome of the case.'

Apparently if some hyperprotective parent thinks you're looking at their kids, it's about to become a felony in Maine. Excerpt:

'Under the bill, if someone is arrested for viewing children in a public place, it would be a Class D felony if the child is between 12 to 14 years old and a Class C felony if the child is under 12, according to Alexander.

Hill said she believes the move was necessary to correct what she called a "loophole" in the state's criminal law statutes.'

Story here. It seems in New York that despite whatever legal agreements signed and laws passed to moderate the abuse of men (what few there may be) in the context of reproduction, all that matters is that the state find a way to make sure baby-mama doesn't apply for welfare benefits. But if this man is the actual legal father of the child, despite him not being the "biological father" (and the required legal agreement not having been executed prior to her getting inseminated), shouldn't he also be eligible for joint custody-- or even try to get it? Not that it would matter. What happened here is that baby-mama wanted to have a kid and wanted to be sure her estranged soon-to-be-ex-husband got stuck with the bill. And, it worked. You go, girl!

'A St. Louis police officer sued a woman on Friday who he says falsely accused him of having sex and doing drugs at a restaurant where he was working a second job as security officer

Michael Haman, 44, a patrol officer in the department's 2nd District, says a St. Louis police internal affairs investigation cleared him of the accusation.

Now he seeks $75,000 from Cassandra Harris, 27, of St. Louis. Harris could not be reached for comment Friday. She has not been charged with a crime in connection with any accusation.
...
Haman works security at Johnny Gitto's restaurant, 6997 Chippewa Street. The night of Feb. 26, Harris was an unruly customer whom he escorted from the premises, the suit says.

She called 911 later to report Haman was having sex and doing drugs in the restroom, touching off an internal investigation that left Haman feeling humiliated, the suit says.'

"For decades, women made less money than men, even as they began to make up a bigger part of the workforce. These days, there's debate about whether that wage gap still exists, with some experts arguing that young women in big cities now make more than their male counterparts. But others say wage disparities are merely more insidious than in the past. Join Kojo as we look at wages, the work-life balance, and other issues confronting women in the modern workplace."
