VA governor: Abortion post-birth should be lawful

Article here. If the elites of the world are not out to reduce the population by any means possible, I wonder just what are they doing? Excerpt:

'Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about a controversial 40-week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an abortion to take place after the infant's birth.

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die.

Just How Easy Should It Be to Destroy a Young Man’s Life?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Yesterday, the New York Times published a student activist’s op-ed with a rather provocative title: “When College Rapists Graduate.”

Now, when you read those words, what do you think? I initially thought the story must be about a prison education program. After all, rape is an extraordinarily serious crime. It was punishable by death until relatively recently in American history, and even now it’s punishable by long prison sentences.

10 Years After Lilly Ledbetter, Media Still Running Discredited ‘Gender Wage Gap’ Claims

Article here. Excerpt:

'Who could have foreseen that a law designed to help one specific person wouldn’t solve the world’s alleged problem?

Ten years ago, President Barack Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act. It was the first bill he signed as president – and he made sure we all knew this throughout his presidency. Ledbetter worked at Goodyear Tire as a supervisor and later a manager, but found out she was being paid significantly less than her male counterparts. She sued and won, but the decision was overturned on appeal because she hadn’t filed her claim within a certain amount of time. The law named after her changed that.

For 10 years, I have tried to find an example of someone else being helped by the Lilly Ledbetter Act. I’ve found none.'

Men’s Health Network Issues Statement On Toxic Masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'Men’s Health Network supports a productive dialogue on masculinity and what it means to be a man. We also recognize that during this dialogue, and in programs intended to promote positive masculinity, it is important not to paint boys and men with broad strokes that tend to depreciate the entire gender because of the inappropriate behavior of some individual or group.

We firmly believe that masculinity is not inherently toxic and remains a core component of manhood.'

New Mexico bill would force colleges to believe accusers in sexual assault proceedings

Article here. Excerpt:

'Thought the Obama administration’s Title IX guidance for sexual misconduct proceedings was bad? Look at some of the legislation under consideration in states.

New Mexico is considering a bill that would threaten colleges with defunding if they don’t make assumptions that are favorable to accusers in sexual misconduct proceedings.

HB 133 passed the House Health and Human Services Committee Friday, and will now be considered by the House Education Committee, the Los Alamos Daily Post reports. The bill’s sponsor, Democratic Rep. Elizabeth Thomson, said it’s intended to give young people “the resources they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their bodies.”'

High School Teacher Suspended For Showing Fox News Documentary About Due Process In College

Article here. Excerpt:

'A high school teacher in the wealthy suburban New York town of Bedford has been suspended for showing his students a Fox News documentary as part of a lesson plan to prepare them for college.
...
Now he was accused of “incompetence,” among other things. The hearing he was subjected to mirrored, in many ways, the hearings college students accused of sexual assault must endure. While Poplardo was represented by a union lawyer and allowed to cross-examine the evidence against him — both of which college students are not entitled to — he was forced to plead his case before an adversarial panel that included his school’s previous principal, with whom he had a prior incident.

Canada: Proposed sexual assault court in Quebec long overdue

Article here. Excerpt:

'Contrary to some people’s misguided fears that a special court would circumvent accusers’ rights or eliminate the presumption of innocence, believing every victim’s testimony unquestionably, the goal isn’t to change the Criminal Code but to reform and improve both the way the laws are applied in Quebec and the process. The group has gone to great lengths to assuage those fears and made it clear during every appearance that the court would aim to centre both female and male victims’ needs without infringing on fundamental human rights.

New Website Plans to Collect #MeToo Victims’ Data and Sell It

Article here. Excerpt:

'A California couple have launched an online tool to connect victims of workplace sexual misconduct to others harassed or abused by the same person—and they plan to fund it by anonymizing the data they collect and selling it to the accusers’ companies.

The just-launched website, ImWithThem.org, is the latest example of the intersection of the #MeToo movement and technology. It’s a nonprofit started by two people with business backgrounds who hope to help victims—but privacy experts say the tool raises red flags.

The website, founded by marketing strategist Laurie Girand and her husband, former Broadcom Corporation CEO Scott McGregor, allows victims of sexual harassment to submit confidential reports. The site then connects them to anyone else naming the same perpetrator.'

The disappearance of 'masculinity' is harmful to society

Article here. Excerpt:

'What are the consequences of saying all men have toxic masculinity? Many women feel like they do not need a man anymore to raise a family, or for any other reason. The first consequence is single-family homes with no fathers present. Many people think this is a wonderful thing, and I commend all women who can raise children alone and work at the same time. What is the damage to the children though, with no male influence, particularly a strong male? Working with inmates for many years,

British Fire Service Lowers Standards For Women, Minorities

Article here. Excerpt:

'One of Britain’s largest fire services requires white men to score higher on a recruitment test than women or minorities.

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service (WMFRS) requires white men to score 70% on verbal and numerical tests, while women and black, Asian, or other ethnic men need to score only 60%. The change was implemented in September 2017, as part of an effort to increase the diversity of firefighters, but is only now being discovered by those outside the department.

Metro UK reports that a “senior source” within the department says the program costs £100,000 a year, including £2,500 a month for Facebook ads targeting only women to “minimize white men applying.”

This same source told the paper that WMFRS is the first brigade in the United Kingdom to make the change, which “directly discriminates against white men.”

Bills target changes to Title IX hearings

Article here. Excerpt:

'A bill introduced in both houses of the state legislature last week would make Title IX investigations at Missouri’s colleges and universities more like legal proceedings.

Senate Education Committee Chairman Gary Romine, R-Farmington, and House Higher Education Committee Chairman Dean Dohrman, R-La Monte, are sponsoring legislation requiring due process in Title IX investigations.

It would guarantee all students the right to representation by an attorney in a Title IX case and allow students to request a review of adherence to due process rules by the state’s Administrative Hearing Commission.

The commission oversees the application of state regulations and makes decisions “in cases involving a state agency and private citizen,” according to its website.'

Feminist: Sexbots Could Make Men Obsolete, And It's A Good Thing

Article here. Excerpt:

'A feminist at Bloomberg welcomes the coming sexbot revolution, claiming that men should be the ones worried about becoming obsolete in the bedroom, not women.

"Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence have raised a dystopian concern for women: What if female robots become so realistic — and so adept at sex — that they render men incapable of engaging in real human relationship," writes Cathy O'Neil. "Actually, I think it’s the men who should be worried. It’s entirely possible that robots can outperform them."
