Australia: Sarah Hanson-Young rejects Senator David Leyonhjelm’s list of demands for an apology

Article here. Excerpt:

'DAVID Leyonhjelm has unearthed a past video of Senator Sarah Hanson-Young that he says shows her making comments similar to those he took offence to.

The Liberal Democrat senator has been under fire after telling Ms Hanson-Young to “stop shagging men” during a debate in the Senate about his proposal to let women carry pepper spray and mace.

Mr Leyonhjelm has said his comment was in response to misandry from the Greens senator and while he can’t remember her exact words, he said they implied all men were rapists.

While there is no record of the exact exchange in the Senate, Mr Leyonhjelm has unearthed an interview from last month that he says illustrates Ms Hanson-Young’s offensive attitude.

"Vulnerable Women Are Routinely Prosecuted – And Imprisoned – For False Rape Claims In The UK"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Britain’s approach stands in stark contrast to that of the US, Australia, Canada, and other European countries. Women in these countries do not typically face prosecution – let alone prison – for lying about rape, state prosecutors and experts said, because it’s not considered to be in the public interest. Norway’s public prosecutions authority, for example, said its priority is encouraging more victims to come forward and warned that “a low threshold for opening a false accusation case could counteract this goal”.

A spokesperson for the CPS told BuzzFeed News that it prosecutes “very few cases” of false rape complaints and this should not dissuade rape victims “from coming forward to report their assault”. Prosecutors treat these cases “extremely carefully” and consider the mental health and other vulnerabilities of the suspect before deciding whether to move forward.

Judge approves subpoena for Obama records on anti-male bias in campus rape cases

Article here. Excerpt:

'When a federal judge dismissed part of a male student’s Title IX lawsuit against his university last fall, she cited the binding precedent of her appeals court.

Now that the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has changed its precedent, Judge Susan Dlott has revised her ruling in a case against the University of Cincinnati.

Plaintiff Tyler Gischel had asked the judge to reconsider her dismissal of his claims for “selective enforcement” under Title IX and violation of his equal protection and substantive due-process rights, in light of the 6th Circuit’s ruling against Miami University of Ohioin February.

She granted him the first two, meaning that the University of Cincinnati is now fighting five claims from Gischel stemming from its investigation of him – but not his female sex partner – for alleged nonconsensual activity over the course of an evening nearly three years ago.'

New Swedish law recognises sex without consent as rape

Article here. Excerpt:

'A tough new law that will recognise sex without explicit consent as rape comes into effect in Sweden on Sunday, after the country was rocked by the #MeToo movement denouncing sexual harassment and assault.

The law stipulates that a person has committed rape if they have been part of a sexual act in which the other person has not participated "freely".

Rape had previously been defined as a sexual act carried out with the use of violence or threat.

Now for someone to face rape charges, "it is no longer necessary that violence or threats were applied, or that the aggressor took advantage of the victim's particularly vulnerable situation," according to the government.

Courts will need to pay particular attention to whether consent was expressed with words, gestures or in another manner, and judges will have to rule on the issue, according to the law passed in May.

Editorial: Lawmakers should say no to 'yes means yes'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The #MeToo phenomenon, along with a movement to punish and prevent sexual assaults on college campuses, has drawn significant attention to protecting women and combating abuse at all levels. Now some Michigan lawmakers want to fight assault by teaching K-12 youth to abide by an affirmative consent standard.

That may sound like a fine idea, but it sets up unrealistic expectations for romantic encounters. And as we’ve seen on college campuses, such standards often erode due process rights for those accused of assault.

Legislators are looking to require Michigan schools with sexual education programs to include focused lessons on affirmative consent, otherwise known as “yes means yes.”

College student sues woman for $6 million claiming her false rape accusation has destroyed his life

Article here. Excerpt:

'A college student is suing a woman for $6million because he says her unsubstantiated claims that he raped her after a drunken frat party have 'destroyed' his life.

Catherine Reddington, 22, has claimed repeatedly via social media that Alex Goldman raped her following a party in April last year at Syracuse University's Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity in upstate New York.

She informed police and the university of the rape accusations in the days after the party and has taken to social media several times in the past month to reveal the details of her alleged assault.

Goldman, also 22, was expelled from Syracuse University after the claims surfaced and more recently was fired from his summer internship with an engineering firm when his accuser informed them of the allegations.

He was never arrested or charged over the incident.'

There’s A Chilling New Call For Women To Reject Feminism. We Must Fight It At All Costs.

Article here. Excerpt:

'During the segment, the conservative author admitted that “all reasonable people, myself included, believe women are the full legal, moral, ethical, equals of men” and that feminism did “many good things.” But in the next breath, she stated that “feminism took some wrong turns by endorsing, first of all, the sexual revolution.” 

She continued:

"Have we had enough of crotch grabbers and penis tweeters in this society? Because all of that is what the sexual revolution has gifted us. That, the so-called rape culture on college campuses, hookup culture, the hostility between men and women ― feminism has to take some responsibility because they were cheerleaders for all of that. They thought it was part of women’s liberation to endorse that.”

Another Viewpoint: Why feminists must read Jordan Peterson

Article here. Excerpt:

'One of the most controversial public intellectuals today is an eccentric, primly dressed professor who writes about esoteric mythology, dispenses old-fashioned wisdom such as “clean your room” and champions embattled ideals of manhood.

Jordan Peterson, University of Toronto professor, psychologist, bestselling author and YouTube star, has been hailed by some as a messenger of hope for young men perplexed by cultural upheaval, and denounced by others as a charlatan preaching patriarchy and fascism.

In reality, Peterson’s ideas are a mixed bag.

He says some sensible and insightful things, and he says some things that rightly draw criticism. But you wouldn’t know this from reading Peterson’s critics, who generally cast him as a far-right boogeyman riding the wave of a misogynistic backlash.

That’s a mistake.

US in Top Ten for danger to women

Article here. Excerpt:

'The U.S. has been ranked in the top 10 most dangerous countries for women, making it the only Western nation to be named among the world’s worst guarantors of female rights and safety.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation surveyed 500 experts to determine where women were most at risk. Countries were ranked in six key areas: health care, sexual violence, nonsexual violence, cultural practices, discrimination and human trafficking.

Nine of the top 10 nations were in Asia, the Middle East or Africa. The only Western nation included was the U.S., which the foundation said was directly related to the #MeToo movement that rocked American society in the wake of rape and sexual harassment allegations against high-profile figures in 2017.'

Mother to son: There's a vast difference between 'mansplaining' and 'momsplaining'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Well, I never thought it would happen to me – a strong, forceful, competent woman — but yesterday my son attempted to “mansplain” in my presence.

At first, I was incredulous. Had my 21-year-old taken a fall? Was he concussed? Because there had to be an explanation for his behavior beyond the obvious conjecture that he had a death wish.

How he thought, that I, still being of sound mind and body and female, would welcome his lecture disguised as chit-chat baffled my maternal mind.

About three minutes into his “splaining” I stopped him mid-sentence, gave him some serious side eye and asked, “Do you realize your mansplaining to your mother?”
...
He laughed saying, “Mom, you're the queen of talking down to people, but even worse than that you add in an over-share, making it awkward and creepy.”
