Story here. Excerpt:
'Shortly before Donald Gash was killed and his dismembered remains were scattered along a North Carolina highway, he allegedly told a relative to suspect his wife and son if anything ever happened to him.
Police immediately began searching for Gash's 41-year-old wife, Gail, who had recently lost her job with the local social services department because of fraud allegations.
...
The Gashes were financially strapped largely because of the $60,000 in restitution for a theft that Gail Gash was attempting to repay a former co-worker.
According to court documents, Gail Gash had also recently lost her job with the Henderson County Department of Social Services based on allegations of food-stamp fraud.
She stood to collect $150,000 in life insurance for her husband's death.
...
Assistant District Attorney Charles Walker would not comment specifically on why charges were not laid against the couple's son, except to say that the proof was not there.'

Latest from Teri Stoddard. Excerpt:
'MISANDRY
American Heritage Dictionary
mi·san·dry
n.
Hatred of men.
I’m a woman and I used to believe what the media said about men. Now I know better.
The media constantly exposes us to inaccurate, negative impressions of and statements about men. In looking for the root of the problem I found a network of people who benefit from misandry. Many of these people work for or with the family courts or domestic violence services, often both. I wonder if the Violence Against Women Act funds misandry.'

Often elections are close. Your heartfelt vote on your personal issues of importance can be the deciding factor.
In 2005 Jerry Kilgore, then-Attorney General of Virginia, was favored to win the race for Governor of Virginia. Kilgore, running on his record as Attorney General frequently emphasized how he had cracked down on domestic violence and wanted to expand the existing draconian laws. He lost the race for Governor by a small margin. A credible case can be made that his position on domestic violence lost him the election. This can be an effective argument to make to other candidates after the election's over.
In 2000, U.S. Senator John Ashcroft narrowly lost his re-election bid to a candidate who died in a plane crash shortly before the election. His position supporting the Violence Against Women Act had upset voters to the point that continued protests were being held at his senatorial offices in Missouri, combined with much public activism. The voters turned him out.
In tight races, single issues which normally are not polled or recognized as major factors by parties or pundits, can make or break any candidate.

Look at this will you. The author all but paints (white) men categorically as drooling Asian-hungry predators. Well hasn't she ever met an Asian woman who only dates white or black men? I'll bet she knows a few. But these, I am sure she will say are victims of the "colonial occupation" and are to be sympathized with as victims.
What an incredibly smug, racist and sexist person she is. If she is so unhappy with "white guys" coming on to her, then she can wear a button that says "No white guys need apply". There, that will take care of her problem. Or maybe she is just having too much fun laughing at the misguided fools who waste their time trying to talk to her.

'It is hard to comprehend why a mother would kill her child.
It is even harder to think she might do it out of love. But that's what an Ohio study published last year indicates may be the motivation, particularly when suicide follows.
The feeling on the part of a mother that killing her child will save him or her from suffering is usually rooted in depression, Callanan said.'

Story here. Excerpt:
'Reynolds admitted contact with the woman. From his lawsuit: "As he truthfully has stated publicly, in July 2006 he gave a brief and innocuous hug to a female intern. The intern, at the time, never expressed any discomfort and in fact had dinner with Mr. Reynolds at a Boston Market restaurant that same evening after he had given her this brief hug. Mr. Reynolds has never seen her since then, and upon information and belief she made no complaint until approximately three weeks later.
Maybe ESPN expected Reynolds to go quietly. In 11 years at the network, he had developed a reputation as a good guy and hard worker who did actual reporting, the rare athlete-turned-analyst who understands that even in an entertainment-first business there is value in journalism.'

"Don't assume it is acceptable to address women by endearments such as 'dear', 'pet' and 'love' when you would not address men in such a way," the guide instructs. "Don't refer to women as 'girls', for example, 'the girls in the office'."
It adds: "The term 'ladies' should only be used in situations where the parallel term 'gentlemen' is used."

"When former Johnston County teacher Rebecca Withrow was charged this month with having sex with an 11-year-old male student, the news stunned parents who knew her as a talented teacher, devoted parent and PTA president."
"The time Letourneau spent incarcerated is notable because women often face less severe punishments than male teachers charged with sexual improprieties."
"But Berlin said boys face the same long-term effects as girls who are victims of sexual abuse: early and inappropriate sexual behavior; problems building relationships later in life; a tendency to either remain a victim or become an abuser themselves."

Story here. Excerpt:
'"We're creating an atmosphere that's not intimidating," said Carol Palazzolo, the gym manager, who yanked Argibay's membership on Monday.
Grunting is commonplace at most gyms, but not Planet Fitness, which discourages so-called "musclehead behavior." There's even a flashing light and siren on the wall, labeled a "lunk alarm," which sounds if someone grunts or drops weights on the floor.
Palazzolo admits she called the cops on Argibay. The Wappingers Falls police report said officers were asked to "escort a member out of the club for grunting while working out...which is not conforming with the rules of the establishment."'
WELL THERE WE HAVE IT -- MALE BEHAVIOR MUST BE RIDICULED AND OUTLAWED -- SO THAT WOMEN AREN'T FEELING INTIMIDATED. WHY NOT JUST CASTRATE THE LOT OF US AND GET IT OVER WITH ALREADY...
