'The Left has clearly defined its positions on gender and family. The next Women’s March will undeniably be aligned with the Left, and will feature a host of gender-based marketing slogans. Indeed, likely 2020 candidate Senator Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) recently staked out her territory, tweeting:“Our Future is Female.” She’ll be far from the only candidate vying for the intersectional feminist vote.

'A senior executive of multinational professional services firm Genpact committed suicide this week. The executive, Swaroop Raj, was accused of sexual harassment by two employees at the firm.

Swaroop was the assistant vice-president of Genpact, a US-based professional services firm that has offices in Delhi-NCR. He had been suspended from his company over the allegations till the case was being probed.

Swaroop committed suicide at his Noida home early Tuesday morning (December 18).

Swaroop joined Genpact in 2007. He was from Ernakulam, Kerala; and stayed at Noida's Paramount Society with his wife Kriti.'

'An erroneous approach of the trial court led to the “miscarriage of justice” for a man crying foul from day one in a case of alleged rape of his minor daughter, but justice came to him 10 months after his death when the Delhi High Court acquitted him on Wednesday.

The verdict came 17 years after the man was convicted by the trial court and sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment.

The high court noted that neither the probe nor the trial was fair in the instant case, which was lodged following a complaint by his daughter.

Justice R K Gauba said the accused “had been crying foul from day one” by claiming that some boy had abducted and seduced his daughter, who was found to be pregnant when the FIR of rape was lodged in January 1996, but the investigating agency and the trial court paid no heed to his contentions.'

'While presenting on the need for the course, Hilgart-Griff said when she was asked by a former principal if a men’s study course would also be added, she replied, “Well, that class is called U.S. history class."
...
Moss compared his political beliefs to his classmate, adding that unlike Hilgart-Griff, he was a conservative. He described himself as “pro-gun" and said he wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement and was going to join the military after high school.

“It’s important to say that this program wasn’t just made by two people who want to push liberal values,” Moss said.'

I live in a gendered household. For better or for worse, the domestic division of labour is broken down along the standard male-female lines. I cook, he cleans up. I’m in charge of our social calendar. He is in charge of turning on the TV, finding movies on Netflix, and talking me off the ledge when I have a computer malfunction on deadline and am bursting into tears. Even though he is almost as technically illiterate as I am, I expect him to fix it.
...
Relationships are trade-offs. The point isn’t equality in everything. The point is enough fairness so that you believe you have a reasonable deal most of the time. Some men don’t do much emotional labour but work long hours. Some work in dirty, dangerous jobs where they are sometimes killed. Nobody writes books about how mistreated they are.

'“Why can’t we hate men?” by Suzanna Danuta Walters

Walters lays out the simple facts of discrimination and violence against women as they have existed across the world, throughout all of history, and doesn’t flinch in drawing her conclusions. Challenging and unforgettable in the way a great op-ed can be. And if you want to see her point dreadfully proven, read her follow-up: “Mob misogyny is nothing new. I have the death threats to prove it.” — Michael Larabee, op-ed editor'

'One emerging but "alarming" phenomenon leading to women's criminalisation, lawyers and advocates say, is the growing number of domestic violence victims being misidentified by police as primary aggressors — and named as respondents on family violence intervention orders.
...
The trend is also being observed in Queensland and New South Wales, with the chief executive of Sisters Inside Debbie Kilroy advising the Australian Law Reform Commission last year that her organisation was seeing, "rising rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women charged with breaches of domestic violence protection orders, often in circumstances where the police (rather than the intimate partner) have applied to impose the order".'

'On Dec. 1, SNL mounted a skit called “Dad Christmas.” One blogger commented on it, “I don’t remember SNL ever sinking to this depth to disparage divorced dads in an attempt to provoke a laugh.” I agree. It was an act of vile misandry.

The skit begins with two adolescent children enjoying a warm and festive Christmas with their mature, beautifully groomed and loving divorced mom. Then they are shown in an alternate Christmas scenario — with “Christmas Dad,” i.e. an allegedly generic divorced father.

'Among the top-ranked universities in the country, only about half require impartial fact-finders in sexual misconduct adjudication—and three-quarters make no guarantees that accused students will be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Those findings are included in a timely report from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) that surveyed U.S. News & World Report's top 53 universities' due process protections for students involved in disputes relating to Title IX, the federal statute that governs campus sexual misconduct. According to FIRE, just 30 percent of the schools guaranteed accused students a hearing, and only 10 percent mandated some form of cross-examination. As a result, 86 percent of surveyed institutions received a D or F grade for failing to safeguard the civil liberties of the accused.'

'Scotland’s Parliament has made the decision to ban “gingerbread men” from a coffee shop at its capitol over concerns that the name of the cookie perpetuates sexism.

Each of these cookies will now instead be called a “gingerbread person,” according to an article in Express.

According to the news source, the change was made after it was discovered that more than 30 percent of female ministers in Holyrood said that they had suffered some sort of sexual harassment.'

'And while Our Watch research shows nearly 80 per cent of Australians want to know what to do when they encounter sexism, only about 14 per cent of people would do something — indicating they either don't recognise sexism, or don't know how to intervene.

The organisation's new interactive online campaign, Doing Nothing Does Harm, hopes to shift those figures.

Ms Kinnersley defines sexist behaviour as "anything that makes a woman feel uncomfortable".'

'The authority disparagingly dubbed "Feminism Ministry" has attracted massive criticism over its feminist slant, being led entirely by women despite its commitment to gender equality and, last but not least, controversial projects involving periods.

The Swedish Gender Equality Agency, proudly unveiled by the government in January, will close down as a result of the parliament adopting a new budget by centre-right Moderates and Christian Democrats.

"We will reduce the allocations to the agency by SEK 40 million in 2019 and grant no funds at all in 2020. This means they will be given one year to wind up the business", Moderate MP Hans Rothenberg told Swedish Radio.'

'The feminist Statement festival with no admittance for "cis-men", held in Gothenburg in August this year, has ultimately received a formal condemnation from Sweden's anti-discrimination authorities. During the festival, men were relegated to a cordoned-off area called the "manpen".

Describing the Statement festival as "male-free" is a violation of anti-discrimination legislation, the Swedish Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) found in a belated ruling.

The European Court of Justice's established practice is that public statements that discourage some people from engaging in an activity constitute grounds for discrimination, the DO found.

Playing in select theaters and very limited runnings, They Shall Not Grow Old is an innovative kind of documentary by the Lord of the Rings trilogy producer that uses painstakingly colorized footage shot at the western front during WWI. It turns grainy shadows of men into actual men whose eyes and faces are clear. There is no narration, but instead the voices of WWI veterans talking about their experiences during the war with joining, in training, and at the front.

It honors the sacrifices of the millions of men on both sides who suffered and died not that long ago. These men, those who survived, fathered what is often called The Greatest Generation. Watch this film and you will see why.
