Another teacher arrested for "h@ving sex with" a young teen

Article here. Excerpt:

'New graphic details have emerged in the case of a married teacher from Arizona accused of having sex with her 13-year-old student, including how she allegedly performed oral sex on the boy in a classroom just two weeks before her arrest.

The boy's parents also claim Brittany Zamora's husband Daniel called them and begged them not to report his wife to police after they saw lewd texts between the pair, the Daily Mail reported.

He insisted that she had made a mistake.

Zamora, 27, a beloved sixth-grade teacher at Las Brisas Academy Elementary School on Goodyear, was taken into custody last Wednesday, just hours after the alleged victim's parents contacted the school principal, who then contacted police.

Documents filed in court on Friday alleged that Zamora had sex with her student on three occasions and performed oral sex in the classroom and in her car between February 1 and March 1.'

Democrats accuse GOP of 'sexist, white-male agenda' over budget negotiation's makeup

Article here. Excerpt:

'Kentucky Democrats admonished Republican legislative leaders for picking a group of white men to hammer out the state's roughly $22 billion biennium budget.

But the criticism draws equal attention to the lack diversity in Democratic leadership ranks, which is the pool where state lawmakers for those negotiations are usually selected.

Democratic state Reps. Attica Scott and Mary Lou Marzian, both of Louisville, took to social media to point out that no women or racial minorities have seats at the budget table or other conferences.

"We just had three conference committees appointed that have NOOOO women serving to add to the debates," Scott tweeted last week. "You're dreaming if you think that invisibility and sexism do not exist in government and politics."'

Talk Show Host: “I Hate Men (I Hate All Men)”

Article here. Excerpt:

'Toronto indie-punk trio Talk Show Host released the first video from their third EP, Not Here To Make Friends. The song’s title, “I Hate Men (I Hate All Men)”, is not meant to be taken sarcastically: the song skewers male entitlement, with verses delivered by an oblivious narrator who represents the worst of male privilege. The song features Madeleine Maynard on guest vocals. The trio enlisted French director Judith Florent-Lapara to visually capture the essence of the song. The video features a crew of energetic teenage girls ready to laugh at the ongoing presence of the patriarchy in the music scene. The video is available to view below.'

Why Are Female College Students Against Free Speech?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Historically, speech restrictions have been opposed by disadvantaged groups — civil rights advocates, labor union organizers, left-wing radicals. Now, as the Times gingerly notes, those students who most value free speech are from “groups historically or currently in positions of power.” Historically, perhaps, but not currently. It is left-wing and liberal orthodoxies and policies of racial quotas and preferences that campus speech restrictors are attempting to shield from comments anyone deems “offensive.”

So the difference between male and female students may reflect different power positions, with those most at risk of proscription more favorable to free speech. It may also reflect differences between male and female temperaments on average.

UK: Next Labour leadership election should be a women-only contest, says Harriet Harman

Article here. Excerpt:

'Labour’s next leadership election should be a women-only contest, Harriet Harman has said, in order to give the party its first female leader since it was founded in 1900.

The former deputy leader and interim leader following Ed Miliband’s defeat at the ballot box in 2015 called for men to sit out the battle to succeed Jeremy Corbyn, whenever it comes.

Ms Harman said her idea was “startling” a lot of would-be leaders who are laughing at the initiative.'

UK: Lads Need Dads: one mum's mission to save British masculinity

Article here. Excerpt:

'Sonia Shaljean is on a one-woman mission to save fatherless British boys from what she calls a “void of masculinity”.

She’s founded inspiring Essex-based Community Interest Company, Lads Need Dads, which last week scooped a prestigious Centre For Social Justice National Family Award.

Having trained as a criminologist and counsellor and worked on front-line services with troubled men for over 20 years, Shaljean says her immersive and compassionate approach led to an awakening. “I’d worked a lot in anger management and change and started to piece together the affects of absent fathers when I was working across the domestic abuse, probation, homeless and addiction sectors. I started to ask: ‘Why are they like that?’ I saw the common thread of absent dads.'

First sex doll brothel in Paris faces calls to close because it 'fuels rape fantasies'

Article here. Excerpt:

'A sex doll brothel in Paris is facing calls to be shut down – with angry critics branding it a 'degrading' place that fuels rape fantasies.

Councillors are set to decide the future of Xdolls, which opened in a neighbourhood in the heart of the French capital last month, at a meeting this week, Le Parisien reports.

Housed in a non-descript flat in the city, the business is officials registered as a games centre.

But its critics argue that it is actually a brothel – which are illegal to own or operate in France.
...
Lorraine Questiaux, a spokesperson for a Paris feminist association called Mouvement du Nid (Nest Movement), also wants Xdolls to be closed.

'Xdolls is not a sex shop. It's a place that generates money and where you rape a woman,' she told Le Parisien.

She added it was important to shut it down, noting that '86,000 women are raped in France every year.'
