'Mary Winkler is a free woman—free of her abusive marriage and free of jail. After 67 days in a mental-health facility in Tennessee, Winkler was released earlier this week and has returned to her hometown of McMinnville. But is she free of the posttraumatic stress disorder and depression that her legal team said drove her to gun down her preacher-husband, Matthew, last year? ...Winkler's critics wonder if she ever had PTSD in the first place and say the diagnosis was just a means of getting off easy.'

The really interesting twist is, the same mother's 23 year old son is currently in jail for having sex with a 14 year old girl. Excerpt:

'"If she was a man, she would already be in prison," the mother said. "She's only out because she's a woman. A criminal should not be able to hide behind the fact that they have a child."'

Found it here. It lists the many "naughty teachers" appearing in the news today and links to the stories reporting them.

As long as they are called "naughty" and not "criminal", I suppose it'll just keep going on and on...

Story here. Excerpt:

'A woman who taught at Tenino High School was sentenced to 60 days in jail Monday for having a sexual relationship with a then 16-year-old female student, but she was not ordered to stay away from the teen upon her release.
...
Welter, 38, pleaded guilty to two criminal counts, both gross misdemeanors — communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and sexual misconduct with a minor — as part of a plea deal Monday in Lewis County Superior Court, Hill and Lewis County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Colin Hayes said.

As part of the plea deal, Hayes agreed to dismiss two counts of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and reduced another count of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes from a felony to a gross misdemeanor."'

'Now that women have solidly earned their place in the work force, many find themselves still yearning for something men often have: wives.

"The thing I most want in life is a wife. I'm not kidding," said Joyce Lustbader, a research scientist at Columbia University, who has been married for 29 years. "I work all day, sometimes seven days a week, and still have to go home and make dinner and have all those things to do around the house."'

'Separating boys and girls is an educational trend that has gained momentum from research showing profound physiological differences between the sexes at young ages.

Chris Raeker, principal at Carman Trails, began looking into single-sex education as boys' discipline problems rose and test scores dropped.
...
But critics, such as Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, argue that single-sex schools promote sexual stereotypes and lead to inequalities.

"Even when such classes start out on equal footing, when schools in America get split into genders, the girls always end up getting the short end of the stick," Gandy said. "There is still sexism in this society. There are still people who want to return to what they see as the proper role of the sexes."'

Basically, if a man (err, sorry, NCP) owes more than a certain amount by order of a court to his child's (or someone else's) mother, he doesn't get a passport. Without one of course, he can neither enter another country nor re-eneter this one. So much for the right of travel and passage that "all Americans" are supposed to have.

Story here. Excerpt:

'Earlier this month, members of the International Academy of Sex Research, gathering for their annual meeting in Vancouver, informally discussed one of the most contentious and personal social science controversies in recent memory.

The central figure, J. Michael Bailey, a psychologist at Northwestern University, has promoted a theory that his critics think is inaccurate, insulting and potentially damaging to transgender women.
...
The hostilities began in the spring of 2003, when Dr. Bailey published a book, “The Man Who Would Be Queen,” intended to explain the biology of sexual orientation and gender to a general audience.

Glenn Sacks' most recent newsletter includes links to video of the F4J Lincoln Memorial protest, among other good reporting. It's the third entry down.

This article in Psychiatric News should be distributed to as many editors, politicians, educators etc. as possible. Excerpt:

'In addressing intimate partner violence, the focus is usually on women who are physically battered by husbands or boyfriends. However, women sometimes hurt their partners as well.

Women are doing virtually everything these days that men are - working as doctors, lawyers, and rocket scientists; flying helicopters in combat; riding horses in the Kentucky Derby. And physically assaulting their spouses or partners.

In fact, when it comes to nonreciprocal violence between intimate partners, women are more often the perpetrators.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'GreenStone Media debuted with a splash a year and a half ago, with ambitious plans to target what was perceived to be a potentially huge market -- talk radio for women -- and high-powered financial backers.

The ending will be considerably quieter. Unless executives of GreenStone can cobble together a last-minute financial rescue, the network will sign off Friday.'

The Republican CNN YouTube Debate is currently scheduled for November 28, 2007. The YouTube format, in which anyone can submit a question for the candidates in a video uploaded to YouTube, presents a perfect opportunity for RADAR supporters to bring much needed attention to some of the issues RADAR addresses.

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two 13-year-old boys accused of slapping girls' bottoms and poking or cupping girls' breasts at school apologized on Monday as a judge dismissed charges against the two, ending a six-month case that drew national attention.'

Great news! Not a complete victory though:

'The News-Register newspaper of McMinnville reported that a "civil compromise" reached by prosecutors and the defense called for both boys to apologize, to pay each of the four girls $250 and to complete a "boundaries education" program.'

Of course, the girls that were playing this game will not have to do the program or pay money (or will even be acknowledged as guilty as well). At least the boys will not be filed as sex offenders for the rest of the lives.
