'The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has passed a rule during its summer meeting in Chicago, Illinois, that includes gender-neutral language in an effort to be more inclusive to the LGBT movement. In addition, all committees must have equal representation of men and women, but those who self-identify as gender nonbinary will not be counted as male or female.

The rules, according to CNN, now say that DNC committees “shall be as equally divided as practicable between men and women (determined by gender self-identification) meaning that the variance between men and women in the group cannot exceed one (1)."
...
State parties will adopt the language ahead of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

When will the DNC start instituting race, sexuality, disability, career, religious, class, etc. quotas?'

'A federal judge instructed the University of Michigan to ignore its policies for investigating sexual assault and instead hold a live hearing so that a student accused of rape can question his accuser, Inside Higher Ed reports. The outcome of the hearing could have national implications on an emerging pattern of case law suggesting that those accused of sexual violence have the right to question the evidence against them.

The Michigan male student accused of sexual assault sued the university in June, alleging that its sexual assault policies deprived him of his right to due process. The student was accused of rape in April after a sexual encounter the previous November he claims was consensual. It has not been determined whether or not he committed an assault.

The ruling does not mean that the accused student will directly ask his accuser questions; rather, the accused will be given the opportunity to challenge the accuser’s claims.'

'Since the launch of #MeToo, two innocent people connected to the movement have committed suicide — Anthony Bourdain and Jill Messick.

In February of 2018, 50-year-old Jill Messick, a one-time talent representative for #MeToo heroine Rose McGowan, took her own life.

In June of 2018, 61-year-old Anthony Bourdain — celebrity chef, world traveler, and boyfriend of #MeToo heroine Asia Argento, hanged himself in a Paris hotel.

Both untimely suicides occurred less than a year after the birth of #MeToo in October of 2017, a movement born through countless accusations against countless men in two left-wing institutions: Hollywood and the establishment media.

'A Long Island woman who falsely accused two Sacred Heart University football players of rape was sentenced in a Connecticut court Thursday.

WABC-TV reports, Nikki Yovino, of South Setauket, pleaded guilty to making up the allegations and was sentenced to three years in prison. She will only serve one year, though, with the other two suspended as part of the plea agreement.

She said she made up the allegations in 2016 because she worried her consensual encounter with the two players would damage her relationship with another student.

Yovino had initially claimed she was raped by the two students in a bathroom during an off-campus party.'

'A former high school teacher who admitted having sex with a 16-year-old student on a park bench and sending him steamy selfies was sentenced Thursday to 10 years of probation.

Alaina Ferguson, 25, was also fined $800 and sentenced to 120 days in jail — to be served two weeks per year over several years. She must also perform 150 hours of community service and register as a sex offender for 10 years after pleading guilty to charges of an improper relationship between a teacher and a student and indecency with a child by exposure, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Ferguson, a former algebra teacher at Plano Senior High School, was arrested in late 2016 after she and the teen started a relationship at the beginning of the school year after he wrote his Snapchat handle on a test and gave it to Ferguson, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Post.'

'I got some bad news this week. I discovered that I’m a ‘privileged, white male’. It was my agent who broke it to me. We were talking about the trouble he’s having in finding a publisher for my book — a work of non-fiction — when the following exchange took place.
...
Agent: You’re a middle-aged, privileged white man. You’re out of fashion — and so is your book. Publishers think you’re too male. Too white. Things are difficult for writers like you at the moment.
...
At that moment I realised that my pose of high-minded neutrality was no longer an option. I’ve always sat back and watched the carnival of contemporary identity politics pass by with a mix of amusement, a touch of condescension and the occasional recognition that maybe these people have the odd point. But overall, it didn’t really affect me. Until now.

'The stereotype of the super-sexy firefighter is actually super-sexist, says London's Fire Commissioner, and all those photographs of shirtless guys in fireman uniforms are keeping women from applying to help fight fires in the UK's capital city.

London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton, who is a woman, is utterly convinced, Sky News reports, that the sexy firefighter stereotype is "offensive" because it makes people believe the typical fireman is a musclebound hunk, and that deters women from applying for open positions.
...
Cotton also criticized "a Suzuki advert featuring Ant and Dec which mentioned 'fireman training,' and an advert for Harpic toilet cleaner in which female characters objectified a male firefighter," because obviously television commercials — and not the dangerous nature of the job and the physical fitness requirements — are what is putting women off from pulling up galoshes and strapping into a hook and ladder truck.'

'For the first time, the university has used a special exemption to the Equal Opportunity Act, which allows schemes to benefit a "particular disadvantaged group", to advertise only for female candidates for the positions.

The associate professor, senior lecturer and lecturer positions are in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences, where 85 per cent of academic staff are male.

The faculty's deputy dean for performance and infrastructure Peter Ashman said they always struggled to attract women to apply for jobs.'

'Social services nonprofit Lutheran Settlement House (LSH) is launching a nine-month gender justice training program for men in association with its anti-domestic violence campaign Men Can. The Masculinity Action Project (MAP) will convene 10 to 15 male-identified Philadelphians to learn about the root causes of toxic masculinity and what they can do about it, then make plans to implement those lessons via community projects.

Starting with a weekend-long retreat this October and meeting monthly through June 2019, participants will learn feminist movement history, discuss their own experiences with toxic masculinity and support each other in developing best practices for overcoming its effects.
...
The end result for each MAP member will be an individualized plan they can bring back to their communities (their neighborhoods, church groups, workplaces, etc.) and implement for the sake of furthering gender justice.

'Joanna Warmington announced her resignation as women's cross country and track and field coach at the University of Minnesota Duluth in a fiery statement Monday in which she alleged NCAA and Title IX violations by the school after a university investigative report said she displayed a pattern of sexual harassment.
...
Specifically, the EOAA "concluded that Ms. Warmington's conduct was unwelcome because it was unsolicited, made multiple student-athletes feel uncomfortable, and taken together, created an unwelcome sexualized environment in which some student-athletes felt compelled to tolerate unwanted conduct of a sexual nature in order to maintain a positive relationship with their coach."'

'The other video, Make Men Masculine Again, was pulled by Facebook after being posted by PragerU on August 6.

“The video – presented by conservative YouTube personality Allie Stuckey – presents an argument that making men feminine is both wrong and dangerous,” Perisic pointed out.

The outspoken YouTuber candidly called men to give up immoral behavior – and not think that becoming effeminate or less manly is the new good in this politically correct world where the feminist movement is proliferating.

“Bad men don’t become good when they stop being men,” Stuckey asserted in the video, according to the Daily Caller. “They become good when they stop being bad.”'

'Since we live in the age when anything can be deemed as “offensive” or “detrimental” to something which progressives hold dear — feminism, gender/race identities, class structure — it should come as no surprise that a Fresno State professor has discovered a down side to being a responsible dad.

Jennifer Randles’ paper “’Manning Up’ to be a Good Father: Hybrid Fatherhood, Masculinity, and U.S. Responsible Fatherhood Policy” from the journal Gender & Society claims federal programs which are designed to “responsible fatherhood” actually perpetuate “patriarchy, gender norms” and that dreaded “hegemonic masculinity.”

This certainly makes sense, for as PJ Media’s Toni Airaksinen reports, Randles’ goal was “to assess the feminist implications” of these fatherhood programs.

Though the government says “involved fathers provide practical support in raising children,” and that “children with involved loving fathers are more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, and exhibit empathy,” Randles ponders the negatives:'
