Transform #MeToo monologue into a #MeToo dialogue

Article here. Excerpt:

'During my years with the National Organization for Women, I saw women struggle to share their truths, and I honor the culmination of this with #MeToo. And during a half-century of forming some 300 men’s groups, I saw that men had their own truths, especially among divorced dads who felt the courts and moms were depriving them of equal time with their children.

The difference? Women have #MeToo. Dads don’t. As I did the research for “The Boy Crisis,” I discovered that some boys feared dad had just abandoned them. As other boys discovered their dad was fighting unsuccessfully for equally shared parenting, they began to fear having children themselves.

Dad-deprived boys lack role models, miss the bonding of roughhousing, and often suffer from a lack of boundary enforcement, leading to problems in school, sports and life. To escape the shame of their failures, millions become addicted to drugs, drinking and video games — or just commit suicide.

Students Call For Professor To Be Fired For Saying 'Accusers Sometimes Lie'

Article here. Excerpt:

'A professor at the University of Southern California has come under fire after sending a reply-all email last week to the student body stating "accusers sometimes lie."

"If the day comes you are accused of some crime or tort of which you are not guilty, and you find your peers automatically believing your accuser, I expect you find yourself a stronger proponent of due process than you are now," Professor James Moore wrote in the email. "Accusers sometimes lie."

According to Toni Airaksinen of PJ Media, Moore’s email was in response to a "Believe All Survivors" email and led to "hundreds" of emails from students and alumni who were concerned.

Nearly 100 students reportedly attended a rally called "Times Up for James Moore" on Monday in protest of Moore — who is tenured — demanding that he be fired.

Women to Crazed Feminists: We Will Fight You to Defend Our Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Fallout from the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the now-debunked allegations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford has expanded the divide not only between Republicans and Democrats, but among women -- the very group Democrats hoped to motivate for this year’s midterms.

As I’ve covered the hearings and the circus surrounding them, I’ve heard a constant refrain -- conservative women are furious about the false allegations leveled against Kavanaugh. They resent the feminist call to believe the woman and thereby assume the man’s guilt simply because he is a member of the male collective.

Feminists have made a mistake assuming that they speak for all women. They don’t.

Many of us are mothers. We have sons whom we love and would defend to our last drop of blood.

Is It O.K. to Press Your Spouse to Have a Vasectomy Before You Ditch Him?

From the New York Times. Letter here. This is a letter to an advice column that shows the ethos of the modern woman. Unbelievable, especially since the woman works for a reproductive rights agency. Excerpt:

'Some time ago, a friend told me that she was planning to leave her husband but was waiting for him to get a vasectomy. She said she knew she’d have to hold his hand through it to make sure it happened. Once the procedure was done, she planned to break the news that she was going to end the marriage.

Professor Who Wished ‘Miserable Deaths’ on ‘White Men’ Is No Longer Teaching at Georgetown

Article here. Excerpt:

'An anti-Trump professor, Dr. Carol Christine Fair, is no longer teaching classes at Georgetown University following calls for the outspoken liberal educator to be fired.

Fair stirred up controversy on Twitter when she wished miserable deaths upon Republican senators supporting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“Look at [this] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” she wrote.

“All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.”

Her account was de-verified and temporarily suspended Tuesday for violating Twitter’s rules, but until Friday, the university had taken no action against the controversial professor.

A Georgetown spokesperson told Fox News Fair is no longer teaching students, but will be traveling internationally for university research.'

Lawsuit accuses 'mean girls' of targeting boy with false allegations

Article here. Excerpt:

'Michael J. and Alecia Flood of Zelienople, Butler County, the parents of a teenage boy identified in the lawsuit as T.F., seek unspecified civil damages against the girls’ parents, the school district and Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger’s office. The lawsuit, which includes the term “mean girls,” alleges they “conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse T.F. of sexual assault on two occasions.”
...
In a tape-recorded interview with school officials in 2017, the lawsuit alleges K.S. said she made the sexual assault claim against T.F. because “I just don’t like him.”

“I just don’t like to hear him talk. … I don’t like to look at him,” K.S. reportedly disclosed in the recorded interview obtained by Fishman.

Mary Zahran: The crime of being a man

Article here. Excerpt:

'Back in the mid-1970s, when I was an undergraduate at North Carolina State University, Germaine Greer, author of The Female Eunuch and militant feminist, came to our campus to speak. During her speech, she relentlessly disparaged all men, asserting that every one of them wanted to rape women, but that most had not yet acted on that impulse.
...
Recently, Sen. Mazie Hirono, a Democrat from Hawaii, uttered one of the most outrageous and prejudiced statements I have ever heard from a public official. Responding to allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct while they were in high school, Sen. Hirono shared her own thoughts about this situation: “Guess who’s perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? It’s the men in this country.”

‘Make them scared’ website posts uncorroborated sexual assault claims against male students

Article here. Excerpt:

'A website allegedly run by University of Washington students allows individuals to publicly accuse people of sexual assault with no evidence.

The website, titled “Make them scared UW,” was first registered in November of last year but reportedly launched in late September of this year by University of Washington students, the Daily UW campus newspaper reports.

It appears that the list of accused rapists and sexual assault perpetrators has grown substantially on the site in recent weeks in the wake of the rape claims made against U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Meanwhile, one student named on “Make them scared UW” told The College Fix that the allegation is false, that the University of Washington has dismissed the allegations against him as completely uncorroborated and cleared him of any wrongdoing.'

Wrecked by the company you keep

Article here. Excerpt:

'A year after Harvey Weinstein was outed as an alleged rapist by the New York Times and the New Yorker, #MeToo is on the brink of evolving from being a movement about powerful men abusing women in the workplace to one more about men behaving badly in general.

That, at least, is what a piece published by Jezebel last week argues.

The piece, entitled “The Next Step for #MeToo Is Into the Gray Areas,” starts with a meditation on the future of #MeToo, but it’s actually a take-down of Jack Smith IV, a writer and video correspondent for the progressive website Mic. Smith is not exactly a public figure—unless you spend a lot of time on Media Twitter, there's very little chance you've heard of him.

Academic journal accepts ‘Feminist Mein Kampf’

Article here. Excerpt:

'Three self-styled liberal scholars were given the academic green light for a rewritten version of Adolf Hiter’s Mein Kampf by a leading feminist journal.

“We rewrote a section of Mein Kampf as intersectional feminism and this journal has accepted it,” James Lindsay said in a YouTube video revealing a year-long project he worked on with other self-described left-wing academics, Peter Boghassian and Helen Pluckrose.
...
The trio submitted 20 papers with absurdities and “morally fashionable political ideas” to significant peer-reviewed academic journals exposing a corrupt political agenda in fields such as women’s and gender studies, race studies, queer studies and cultural studies, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The summary of the feminist version of Mein Kampf reads: “Feminism which foregrounds individual choice, responsibility, female agency, and strength can be countered by a feminism which unifies in solidarity around the victimhood of the most marginalized women in society.”

Only women can end this war

Letter here. Excerpt:

'The time has come for good women to stand up and defend the good men of America. The very notion that men are somehow predisposed to violence is as flawed a concept as has ever been fabricated by the human mind. Today there are angry, bitter women who would have America believe that generally every single man — and more specifically, every white man — is a predator waiting for an opportunity to abuse a woman.

Here’s the truth: The huge majority of men in America have been raised to respect women at all times, in every circumstance — and we do. My father made it perfectly clear that any abuse of any girl would incur his wrath and that was not something to be taken lightly. I taught that same lesson to my three sons and I know they have begun to pass that same lesson to their boys.'

Welcome to the Destructive Age of Male Guilt

Article here. Excerpt:

'In 2006, author Shelby Steele wrote the preeminent book “White Guilt” on how the promises of the Civil Rights movement were subverted, plunging our society into never-ending racial conflict and eroding our principles of liberty. I use this book as the basis of my thesis because everything Steele has written can be applied to feminism and the destructive effects of socially imposed Male Guilt.

They step into a void of vulnerability. The authority they lose transfers, not to the principles that determine rights for all — which should have been the result of Women’s Liberation — but to the “victims” of historical sexism. This socially derived authority becomes those victims’ great power, a club to use at their whim. This is why male guilt is quite literally the same thing as female power — and power is what feminism hungers for.

Australia: "Tampon tax to go"

Link here. Australian women don't even want to make this modest contribution to all the health and social services state governments provide exclusively for them, with all consumers set to subsidise the elaborate packaging and marketing of women's sanitary products. Excerpt:

'After an 18-year campaign, the 10 per cent tax on tampons and pads will be removed after states and territories agreed to make sanitary products exempt from the GST.

Treasurers met this morning to discuss the matter and have unanimously agreed to pass the Federal Government's proposal.

The GST on these products has long been described as unfair because products including condoms and Viagra are exempt.'

Georgetown Issues Statement Backing Professor Who Said White Republican Men Should Be Murdered, Castrated

Article here. Excerpt:

'"The views of faculty members expressed in their private capacities are their own and not the views of the University. Our policy does not prohibit speech based on the person presenting ideas or the content of those ideas, even when those ideas may be difficult, controversial or objectionable," University spokesman Matt Hill told Western Journal by email.

Hill added, "While faculty members may exercise freedom of speech, we expect that their classrooms and interaction with students be free of bias and geared toward thoughtful, respectful dialogue."

It seems painfully obvious that Fair might have a tough go at treating all her students in an unbiased manner and engaging in a "thoughtful, respectful dialogue" seeing as how she openly advocates for the murder of those she disagrees with and dons "Abort Trump" and "F*** Trump" stickers at public speaking events.'

Woman Claimed 4 Dentists Raped Her; Video Evidence Results In Dropped Charges

Article here. Excerpt:

'Prosecutors for the state of Nevada dropped all charges that were filed against four men — three of whom are brothers — after a woman falsely accused them of raping her in late July.

The unnamed woman claimed that Ali Badkoobehi, Poria Edalat, Saman Edalat and Sina Edalat had repeatedly raped her in a hotel suite at the Wynn after she met one of the men at the hotel bar, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. She told investigators that Badkoobehi pushed her into a chair and then forced himself on top of her before the three other men entered the suite and took turns raping her. According to the report, the woman said she tried to resist, "but she was too intoxicated and overwhelmed because of how many people were attacking her and she could not fight back."
