Year after being put in prison for rape, accuser admits fabricating the story

Story speaks for itself:

'Perth Now reports that Patrick Waring, then a 15-year-old Catholic college student, was dragged out of bed by police a year ago and refused bail on the say-so of his 17-year-old accuser.

However, just before the trial started, the girl admitted lying about her sex life the whole time, Perth Now says. She had insisted she was a virgin.

DNA tests excluded Waring from her claims of rape.

Waring's accuser finally admitted she had had sex with a man at the back of a cinema the same afternoon, two hours before claiming Waring raped her at Joondalup's Central Park after following her from the railway station on 30 March last year.'

New housing solution for male sex offenders

In another sign of the increasingly poor treatment of male sex offenders, Miami has decided to house some male sex offenders under a bridge.

Interesting that no women sex offenders appear to be subjected to this sort of housing discrimination. I doubt you'll ever see women sex offenders sleeping under a bridge being gnawed on by rats. Only men appear to be deserving of this dehumanized under-the-bridge "troll" treatment.

Women fought and died at Vimy Ridge?

My school in Edmonton, Canada recently had a trip to France to visit the Vimy Ridge Mermorial in France. This is the most important battle in Canadian history in World War I, where "a nation was born" because of Canada's single-handed battle and sacrifice to capture this Ridge from the Germans. When my school was there, the guide kept on saying "our men AND WOMEN who served and perished at Vimy Ridge on this fateful day in 1917...etc...etc" and "over 60,000 Canadian men AND WOMEN who fought and died in world war I showing canadian sacrifice... etc...etc."

This has got to be a feminist April Fools Day joke! So, when I got back home, interested by this apparently huge female sacrifice during their periods of oppresion in 1917, I looked up some history books and Google. After an hour of search, I found no records of even a single woman served and fought even as a field medic/nurse during the battle of Vimy Ridge. This is clearly just another attempt by feminist to give women credit where they DON'T deserve!

"Gender Insurgency" in the Art World

It's a gender insurgency paid for with our money! Yay! It's it just so sisterly and loving and in-your-face and !@#$ing WONDERFUL? Excerpt:

'Call it the year of the woman ... in the visual arts! With symposiums, heavy-hitting shows on the East and West Coast, and a smattering of smaller exhibits around the country all dedicated to feminist art happening now, it's a veritable gender insurgency waged on the hallowed white walls of the art world.
...
The rest of this confluence was pure conspiracy. Activist patrons, artists, curators, and scholars organized these events to make a big publicity splash. And the Feminist Art Project (FAP) at Rutgers University in New Jersey, initiated in late 2005 by Judy Chicago and the late feminist art writer Arlene Raven, was its fountainhead. Organizers there are promoting feminist art's reach through 2009 with a series of publications, symposia, and exhibitions.'

New York City Plans to Promote Circumcision

Article here. Excerpt:

'New York City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is planning a campaign to encourage men at high risk of AIDS to get circumcised in light of the World Health Organization’s endorsement of the procedure as an effective way to prevent the disease.

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is just beginning to convene meetings and design studies to help it formulate a national policy, New York City is moving ahead on its own.'

Predictable, and very unfortunate. So with this hair-trigger reactive policy making, MGM gets new life breathed into it just as we were making progress at stopping it. They are saying they will target the effort to 'high-risk' groups. But I think we know what is actually happening here-- if MGM gets a cachet of "medical necessariness" re-instilled into it, we are sure to see efforts to ban its infliction upon infants stymied. Again, one could make the same case for FGM being useful in this fashion as well, but no one would dare.

Woman Posing as Teen Boy Assaults Girl

Story here. Truth is stranger than fiction. Excerpt:

'Lorelei Josephine Corpuz, 30, lived for more than a year as a 17-year-old boy named "Mark," according to papers filed in Everett District Court.

As "Mark," Corpuz persuaded the girl's family to let "Mark" live in their home as the girl's boyfriend. Corpuz claimed to be an orphan, police alleged.

It wasn't until police arrested Corpuz on Sunday on an unrelated matter that the girl and her family learned that "Mark" was a woman - and almost twice the age they were led to believe, according to court papers.

That's when officers were told that Corpuz allegedly had beaten and sexually assaulted the girl.'

Saving Dads Illegal? Get Real : by Helen Ubiñas

Essay here.

Another update on NOW's assine lawsuit. I predict many more will expose Gandy's hypocrisy. Helen Ubinas makes some outstanding observations. Excerpt:

"The government has spent billions of dollars over the years on welfare-to-work job training programs that, if not specifically limited to women, benefit women almost exclusively. Women are specifically targeted for nutrition education in a variety of programs, including the federal Women Infants and Children program."

Women's Equality Measure Faces Long Odds

Article here. Excerpt:

"Democrats face long odds in their effort to revive an Equal Rights Amendment that failed three decades ago, even if unisex bathrooms are no longer much of a fear factor.
...
A proliferation of female doctors, lawyers and stockbrokers and the fact that women now receive nearly 60 percent of college degrees show that women don't need an ERA to succeed, she added."

18-YO Female Hit And Run on a Cop Walks away from Jail

Girl hits cop with car. Girl drives off. Girl goes home. Girl googles her situation to find news reports. Girl finds news article on her hit-and-run, finds a comment thread, and confesses to what she did apparently thinking she'd get away with it. Happily the police tracked her down via her IP address, giving us one spoiled little princess with a vewwy vewwy grumpy booking photo.

The snapper?

Five thousand dollars bond; 0 dollars required. She walked hours later, without paying a dime.

She's a girl, see. And she's really, really sorry. She said so! Look how sad she is! Awwwwwww!

How many of us Y chromosome bearers could pull off a stunt like that and not be quietly beaten to death with telephone books before the clock struck midnight?

Fark commentary, replete with original thread link

BBC hunts for male-only clubs

The BBC reports here with an opinion piece that seems incredibly sexist. Basically it's a hunt to find where women are being hard-done by in being excluded from male-only clubs. The entire tone of the piece is sexist, for example:

"In the ancient world all-male societies and festivals were common. And there was even the odd all-female event too." No mention of matriarchal societies, of course.

It's not until halfway through the article that they admit (almost sheepishly) that there are many female-only clubs, but in typical BBC style the headlines and intro are all one-sided (us evil evil men!)

You can comment on the piece, and the comments are worth reading - most support the idea that one-gender clubs are acceptable, even if the women are typically scathing of our reasons to want to be separated. The stereotypes abound; women want to be in their single-sex-club locales to avoid lecherous men hassling them, whereas us men want to be in our single-sex-clubs so we can belch, fart and generally be rude and obnoxious...

Wage Gap: "A Bargain At 77 Cents To a Dollar?"

Article here. Excerpt:

"Women make similar trade-offs all the time. Surveys have shown for years that women tend to place a higher priority on flexibility and personal fulfillment than do men, who focus more on pay. Women tend to avoid jobs that require travel or relocation, and they take more time off and spend fewer hours in the office than men do. Men disproportionately take on the dirtiest, most dangerous and depressing jobs."
