'Shawn Oakman, a former football star at Baylor University who was once considered a top NFL pick, was found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman with whom he had a previous sexual relationship.

Oakman had been accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in 2016 when she was allegedly too drunk to consent. The woman, who doesn’t get named because she claims to be the victim of sexual assault, said she was drinking before going to Cricket’s, a bar in downtown Waco, TX. She said she and friends then went to Scruffy Murphy’s, a bar near Baylor. She then texted Oakman, whom she had a previous sexual relationship with the year before, and asked him to meet her there. He did.

'Hillary Clinton ruled out a 2020 presidential run for the first time on camera in an exclusive interview with News 12, pledging instead to take an active role by working with the candidates in the crowded Democratic field.

"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," she told News 12's Tara Rosenblum. 

In her first local TV interview since the midterm elections, the former first lady and secretary of state opened up about 2016, 2020 and beyond. She expressed deep concerns about the state of American politics today -- and vowed to be vocal about those concerns.

'Google’s 2018 “pay equity analysis” published Monday compares the salaries of its employees and found that men were underpaid in relation to women last year.

“Compensation should be based on what you do, not who you are,” the study begins, but the New York Times highlighted the fact that the study explains how Google provided $9.7 million in “adjustments” to 10,677 employees. Men account for roughly 69 percent of the employees at the tech giant, but the number of men who make up the 10,677 total is unclear.

The study admits that lower-level software engineer “men were flagged for adjustments because they received less discretionary funds,” or funds that are not designated for a specific purpose and can be used later, “than women.”

The 2018 analysis also includes a “new hire analysis” to mark discrepancies in offers to recently hired, which accounted for 49 percent of the total $9.7 million adjustment amount.'

'WASHINGTON / March 4, 2019 – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is today launching a national campaign designed to alert college administrators, public officials, attorneys, and the public to the perils of Start By Believing and other “victim-centered” investigative methods.

Ethics codes call for investigators to conduct their investigations in an impartial, unbiased, and honest manner (1).

In contrast, Start By Believing programs instruct investigators to start the probe with an “initial presumption” of guilt and engage in dishonest practices such as (2):'

'Employers need to reserve places on apprenticeship schemes for young women, disabled people and ethnic minorities to create a more level playing field, the country’s equality body has said.

The government has pledged to create 3 million apprenticeships in England by next year. But almost 90% of apprentices aged 16-24 are white, compared with 82% of the population.

While there are similar numbers of female and male apprentices, women remain significantly under-represented in the better-paid industries. And the number of people starting an apprenticeship last year who had learning difficulties, disabilities or health problems dropped by 17% on the previous year.

With National Apprenticeship Weekstarting on Monday, the Equality and Human Rights Commission says firms need to take steps to get more people from minority groups into trainee schemes, favouring them against other similarly qualified candidates if necessary.'

'Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor is preparing the trials of detainees, identified by watchdog groups as women's rights activists, after completing its investigations, state news agency SPA said on Friday.

The report provided few details but referenced a June 2018 statement which said that nine people - five men and four women - were arrested and held on suspicion of harming the country's interests and offering support to hostile elements abroad.

At the time, international rights groups reported the detention of at least 11 prominent activists, mostly women who previously campaigned for the right to drive and an end to the kingdom's male guardianship system.'

Friday's Dilbert cartoon (March 1, 2019) makes an indirect reference to the misandristic Gillette ad.

Interesting article here re how many better-off types, esp. men, are making work their religion of sorts. This doesn't surprise me. When the world becomes a place you are not as comfortable in as you used to be, what do you do? Retreat into something. Work is a tried and true form of refuge for men. Excerpt:

'The decline of traditional faith in America has coincided with an explosion of new atheisms. Some people worship beauty, some worship political identities, and others worship their children. But everybody worships something. And workism is among the most potent of the new religions competing for congregants.

What is workism? It is the belief that work is not only necessary to economic production, but also the centerpiece of one’s identity and life’s purpose; and the belief that any policy to promote human welfare must always encourage more work.

'Yesterday a Texas jury found former Baylor football player Shawn Oakman not guilty of sexual assault. As my Tennessee neighbor Clay Travis notes, the charges against Oakman were heavily publicized, and carried serious repercussions for the Baylor football program:

At this point, how many more court cases do we need before we return to sanity and reason in the battle over campus sexual assault? As I wrote last month, judges across the country (including, most notably, California judges) are rebuking colleges and universities for establishing campus kangaroo courts designed to secure more punishments for young men. And now we’re seeing real courts demonstrate once again the power of due process.

'In his autobiography Malcolm X described racism as a psychosis in the white psyche. White people, he said, were able to function in all other ways as human beings should, but on the question of race white people lost all ability to reason rationally and instead deferred to insanity. As a result Malcolm asserted that for the non-white peoples of this nation, there was never an American dream but rather an American nightmare. Malcolm would never live to see the horrors of mass incarceration, he never lived to witness the massive wars of imperialism in non-white nations that the U.S. would wage overtly and covertly in the 21st century, he never came to know for himself the absurdity of the neo-fascist government that we have in our current administration. Yet in our current racial climate Malcolm’s diagnosis reads just as true now as it did then.

'A man tied up in a false rape claim has backed a call for a men's refuge after he was kicked out of his flat and left homeless for a week.

Brett, who has asked for his last name to be kept secret, says he had nowhere to go after his ex-girlfriend reported a rape that never happened, and rumours began to spread.

Since speaking about how the allegation "destroyed" his life, Brett has thrown his support behind a call for an agency to support men, similar to Women's Refuge.

Another Marlborough man mooted the idea of a men's refuge earlier this month when he was left homeless after leaving an abusive relationship.

There was no homeless shelter in Blenheim, though people could apply for emergency accommodation through Work and Income.

'Which is more scrupulous, the #MeToo movement or McCarthyism?

The original McCarthyism, I mean — that of the blacklist and the Hollywood Ten, of which the junior senator from Wisconsin was only ever a small part. The anti-Communists whose banner he picked up were, on the whole, more serious and conscientious than Joseph McCarthy himself. For all the publicity and energy he brought to their cause, it was ultimately their misfortune to have become entangled with a namesake whose tactics were not always befitting the seriousness of the threat against which they fought.

'According to a report from The College Fix, women are earning significantly more college degrees than men. Data published in 2016by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) highlighted a surprising trend in higher education. While almost half of American women between the ages of 18 and 24 were enrolled in an institution of higher learning, less than 40 percent of all males were also enrolled. A similar gender breakdown exists at the graduate level.
...
This trend can be found at universities around the country. Take, for example, the University of Wisconsin, where 55 percent of all degrees are earned by women. At the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, women make up almost 70 percent of the student body.

'New research suggests that the college gender gap is expected to widen between young men and women. According to a recent survey from Pew Research Center, 68 percent of teenage girls plan to attend a four-year college, compared to 59 percent of teenage boys.

College enrollment among 18- to 20-year-olds who are no longer in high school mirror this trend. In 2017, Pew found that 64 percent of women in this age group who were out of high school were enrolled in college, versus 55 percent of men in the same age group.

While this may be reassuring news to feminists decrying the gender wage gap, data revealed that money was a larger motivator for teenage men than teenage women. Boys are much more likely than girls to say that “having a lot of money when they grow up would be extremely or very important to them” — 61 percent versus 41 percent. This is probably why male college students typically find themselves in majors that end up paying more.
