In Their Own Voices: Former feminists Explain Their Rejection of Feminism

Article here. Excerpt:

'This collection of women’s essays and narratives will have a powerful effect on any reader who comes to it with an open mind. Many of the writers herein – happy pro-male warrior Karen Straughan, Australian psychologist and sex therapist Bettina Arndt, video-blogging champion of the falsely accused Diana Davison, academic contrarian and author of the popular Fiamengo File series, Janice Fiamengo – are now old hands at beating against the feminist current. They know both sides of every argument, but their opponents, like other ideologues, cannot conceive of another “side” and as a result, often lose debates that are judged on evidence and reason.

A more recent desistor from feminism, whose “conversion” aroused strong controversy, is Cassie Jaye, whose film, The Red Pill, chronicled her investigation of the men’s rights movement. She assumed she would find evidence to denounce it; instead she found evidence to renounce her assumptions.

UK: Former MP blasts police as woman who made false child rape allegations against him is to face no charge

Article here. Excerpt:

'A former MP has launched a scathing attack on ‘politically correct’ police after they ruled a woman who made false child sex allegations against him should not be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice.

John Hemming said their refusal to seek charges against his accuser Esther Baker undermined the criminal justice system and would encourage ‘other fantasists’ to make bogus paedophile claims.

He hit out after Staffordshire Police informed him via email that following a ‘review’ of his allegations, it had decided there was ‘insufficient evidence’ to proceed with the case and no further action would be taken.

The email came more than three years after Mr Hemming first alleged to the force that Miss Baker had perverted the course of justice over her claims of child sex abuse. And it came nine months after the Crown Prosecution Service ruled that there was insufficient evidence to charge him over her paedophile accusations.'

Award-Winning Global Leadership Expert Holly Dowling Inspires "Not All Men Are Monsters" Movement

Article here. Excerpt:

'Award-winning global leadership expert and motivational speaker Holly Dowling—who in the past 20 years has impacted millions of hearts and minds worldwide, including Fortune 500 executives and her “A Celebration Of You” podcast listeners in 87 countries—recently started her “Not All Men Are Monsters” (#NotAllMen) movement, inspired by her own #MeToo experience. She first wrote about her vision to celebrate men in a Thrive Global article, “How I Rekindled My Light,” and subsequently discussed it in an interview with Dave Sanderson—Tony Robbin’s prior security director and a survivor of “Miracle on the Hudson”—for his popular “Declassified” show.

Dowling says, “I started discussing #NotAllMen in the #MeToo era because it’s important to recognize that not all men are bad or wrong. This topic has weighed heavy on my heart, and I felt the need to share my own personal experience where I was at the hands of a monstrous man—yet I know that there are so many good men out there. It is a vital time to have these sensitive conversations between men and women.”

All men guilty?

Article here. Excerpt:

'The fashionable idea that all men are somehow responsible for a culture of rape and violence is not supported by the evidence... In Sweden, for example, a population-based study that looked at more than two million people from 1975 to 2004 found that only 1 per cent of the population were responsible for 63.2 per cent of all crimes recorded ... That’s a tiny percentage of the population responsible for the vast majority of offending.

The same holds true for sexual assault... The fact is that recidivist offenders are responsible for the vast bulk of all crimes, and unfortunately these individuals are the least likely to be persuaded by rehabilitation campaigns or public education efforts.

“But what about domestic violence?” one may ask...

Uni expands female-only program despite low male enrollment

Article here. Excerpt:

'Despite ongoing issues with male enrollment, the University of Denver is set to expand its female-only program designed to promote female success.

Founded in 1888, the Colorado Women’s College initially sought to provide educational access to women at a time when they were largely excluded from higher education. By 1982, however, it merged with DU, and by 2016, it ceased granting degrees.

To this day, the CWC continues to operate as an arm of DU, employing five full-time staffers, offering research grants, and hosting events throughout the year dedicated to “the advancement of women and girls.” 

Events from last year included an alumni panel titled “Femme in STEM,” an art exhibit dedicated to “Celebrating Colorado Women and their Extraordinary Stories,” as well as a celebration for female students who graduated in the summer.'

Women-only tech scholarships, ‘Man Tax’ violate California discrimination laws: lawsuit

Article here. Excerpt:

'A lawyer who specializes in securing equal treatment for both sexes under California law is taking on new territory: women-only scholarships.

Last week Alfred Rava filed suit on behalf of two male students who were barred from applying for a scholarship that is explicitly intended to “introduce women interested in careers in cybersecurity to the financial community.”

The Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a member-owned nonprofit that “share[s] timely, relevant and actionable physical and cyber security threat and incident information” among nearly 7,000 members, excludes male applicants from the only scholarship it offers, the two-year-old Building Cybersecurity Diversity scholarship.

American recipients of the $5,000 scholarship also get networking opportunities and an all-expenses-paid trip to the FS-ISAC summit this fall in Chicago, where they can meet top executives in the industry.

Lawsuit accuses uni of anti-male bias in sexual assault case

Article here. Excerpt:

'A Texas A&M University swimmer filed a lawsuit against the school on Monday, claiming that he was wrongly held responsible and disciplined by a Title IX investigation in 2015.

According to the lawsuit, Austin Van Overdam was found responsible for the alleged sexual assault of female TAMU student Hannah Shaw, whom he met on the social media dating app, Tinder.
...
During the hearing conducted by the TAMU Student Conduct Office, which heard testimony from both parties but reviewed no other evidence, Shaw claimed that she consented to two of the three sexual acts while Van Overdam maintained that all sexual contact was consensual, according to the lawsuit.

Despite the contradicting testimony, the administrative hearing panel found Van Overdam responsible for one of the four charges, deeming that the first and third sexual acts were consensual while the second was not, consistent with Shaw’s testimony.'

Woman who lied about rape at Michigan college sentenced to jail

Article here. Excerpt:

'A woman who lied about being raped in a Michigan college parking lot was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Mary Zolkowski, 21, pleaded guilty to falsely reporting a felony in March. Zolkowski said she told her mother she had been raped in February by a stranger in the parking lot of Delta College southwest of Bay City, Michigan. She said her mother called the campus, and then Zolkowski completed a report.

Delta College police were unable to verify her story, and Zolkowski later admitted it was false.

"I was assaulted previously, not at Delta's campus," Zolkowski said in March, MLive reports. "And because I was ashamed of circumstances of that, when my mother called, I vented through Delta, which was very wrong of me. I should have been truthful from the very beginning, and I used Delta."
...
False reports of sexual assault are rare — 2 to 10 percent, according to studies cited by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.'

How To Overthrow The New Master Race: Western Women

Link here. Excerpt:

'The Western man has achieved great wealth, intellectual attainment, technological advancement, medical breakthrough, and the highest status in the world at breakneck speed in the modern era.  But as all good things must come to an end, the Western man is drifting quickly towards the edges of the whirlpool due largely to his own actions.

Historians will debate the reasons for this inevitable fall.  I put it to you that chief among them was the willful abdication of the Western man’s preeminent status in favor of the Western woman.

Peterson on 'Toxic Masculinity' Training in Kindergarten: 'Appalling' That Schools Are 'Pushing This Nonsense'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Canadian psychologist Prof. Jordan Peterson shared his views on a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater professor's argument that “toxic masculinity” should be taught to children as early as kindergarten.

Kathleen Elliott argues in an issue of "On The Horizon," an academic journal, that there are "consequences of simplified, toxic forms of masculinity in schools and society."

Campus Reform reported that Elliott wrote that the media promotes “aspects of toxic masculinity such as physical strength, dominance, and heterosexual prowess.”

Peterson said that "you'd have to be a fool" to teach young children such a concept.
...
Peterson added that it's difficult to even define what "toxic masculinity" is.

"Where's the crisis?" he asked. "Why would we turn the education of our children over to idiot ideologues?"'

"IT men = incel danger"

Article here. Excerpt:

'THE WORLD HAS recently become more terrifyingly aware of incels, which, if you don’t already know, stands for “involuntary celibate.” It’s an underground coalition of mainly men who complain about how society actively and unfairly deprives them of sex, often, they say, because they are too ugly or too fat.

It is, of course, nonsense. Incels are usually conspiracy theorists, not victims, who believe the world is purposely denying them their fundamental right to sex on demand—and who share many values and tactics with white supremacist, men’s rights, and alt-right groups. Self-declared incels encourage violent acts, including the “incel rebellion” in Toronto that killed 10 people and injured 20 more.

SPLC settles suit for over $3 million over false labeling

"We haven't filed anything against the SPLC, but I think a number of organizations have been considering filing lawsuits against the SPLC, because they have been doing to a lot of organizations exactly what they did to Maajid Nawaz that's part of the settlement," Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, told PJ Media on Tuesday.

Progressive activists ruined Father’s Day

Second: toxic masculinity!

That’s the new phrase Progressive feminists like to throw out there, an attempt to blame men (straight, white men, in particular) for every societal or even personal woe. And boy were these activists triggered. Father’s Day? You mean for men!? Haven’t the straight, white patriarchy benefitted enough!?!? We can’t celebrate them!

So rather than take a moment to celebrate the fathers and father figures in our life, we had to get angry and political. NBC News declared, in what I promise isn’t a satirical piece:
