'More women are ending up in Texas prisons and jails, and a criminal justice reform advocacy group wants policymakers to address the problems that led them there.

The Texas Criminal Justice Coalition released a report Thursday to highlight common issues the more than 12,000 imprisoned women in the state face and propose gender-specific support, treatment and diversion options. The organization said in the report that although the female population is increasing, most programs that aim to help prisoners are geared toward men.

Women only accounted for less than 9 percent of those in the Texas prison system in 2016, but the organization said that their population is increasing while the state lessens the overall number of prisoners. Between 2009 and 2016, the men’s prison system population decreased by more than 8,500 inmates, while the number of women in Texas prisons went up more than 500.

'Penguin Random House Children’s will publish a book about rape culture and toxic masculinity in the UK this May.

Tradition by Brendan Kiely is set at an elite prep school and told from the perspectives of students Jules and Jamie. Jules is in her final year, determined to get out and start life at college, and Jamie is a sports star on a scholarship. After a school party ends in disaster, they both discover a terrible truth and that ‘tradition’ can be ugly and even violent.

Editorial director Holly Harris bought the UK and Commonwealth rights from Charlotte Seymour of Andrew Nurnberg Associates on behalf of Rob Weisbach Creative Management.

Harris said: "We’re thrilled to be publishing Tradition this May. It’s a compulsive read with a complex issue at its heart that is engaging to the last page. We can’t wait to publish this compelling and insightful novel."'

'Indiana University of Pennsylvania will decide next week whether a student who was kicked out of a religion class can return after saying there are only two genders, and citing an Economist article that said the gender wage gap is a myth.

Lake Ingle was booted from his Special Topics in Christianity course for lodging a "disrespectful objection" to the professor, and making "angry outbursts" after being "required to listen to a trans[gender] speaker discuss the reality of white male privilege and sexism."

That description came from religious studies professor Alison Downie, who has said she would only allow Ingle to return if he apologizes, displays respect for her, and explains the “importance of an atmosphere of safety for an educational environment.”

'A college student kicked out of class for saying there are only two genders has been offered a full scholarship to Oklahoma Wesleyan University.

School President Everett Piper told CBN News that OWU is an institution "where we still teach biology and where we still teach Christian orthodoxy." He added that the school is "offering to wave this young man's tuition if he wants to finish his degree here."

Professor Alison Downie kicked senior Luke Ingle from a Christianity class at Indiana University Pennsylvania because he challenged her beliefs on biology and the gender wage gap.

'Oxford University will ‘feminise’ its philosophy curriculum in order to appeal to more female students and boost writers profiles.

The university’s Faculty of Philosophy requested that 40 per cent of the recommended authors on its reading lists are women.

Academic staff have also been asked to use writers’ first names when compiling reading lists instead of their initials, in order to highlight those that were written by women.

It aims to increase the appeal of philosophy to female students, according to the Daily Telegraph.

As part of the changes, the university is also introducing an undergraduate paper on feminist philosophy and has appointed new academics to teach it.'

'Fox News just announced an upcoming series about the plight of Men in America.

"Men seem to be becoming less male," Tucker Carlson said. "Something ominous is happening[.] ... Men are taught there is something wrong with them. We took a close look at the numbers, and we found them so shocking that we're devoting the month of March to a special series on men in America."

Carlson concluded, "You'll be stunned by the scope of the crisis. We were. It's a largely ignored disaster. It affects every person in America."'

'The majority of councils have no men working in their nurseries, as parents assume they pose a risk to young children.

Of the 38 councils in England, Scotland and Wales which still have in-house nurseries, 26 do not hire a single male teacher.

Jamel Campbell, of the London Early Years Foundation, said: "People are entrusting their precious babies to us, to care for them and to teach them. There is a lot of stigma based on negative stories - children being at harm... men not being nurturing, men not being able to work with children that small."

Of 400,000 early years educators – which includes preschools, nurseries and school reception classes - 98 per cent are female. The starting salary for nursery practitioners is around £18,000.

Mr Campbell said that more men would be interested in becoming nursery teachers if they understood the benefits it can bring to young children.'

'Katy Perry kissed an “American Idol” contestant ― and he didn’t like it.

Benjamin Glaze spoke to The New York Times about what he described as the “uncomfortable” kiss ― which happened to be his first kiss ever ― broadcast Sunday on the season premiere of the recently rebooted show. Glaze didn’t consent to the kiss and said he would’ve refused it if Perry had asked permission.

“I wanted to save it for my first relationship. I wanted it to be special,” Glaze, now 20, told the Times.

“Would I have done it if she said, ‘Would you kiss me?’ No, I would have said no,” he said. He added that he didn’t feel sexually harassed by Perry in the audition, which was recorded earlier.

“I know a lot of guys would be like, ‘Heck yeah!’ But for me, I was raised in a conservative family and I was uncomfortable immediately,” Glaze said. “I wanted my first kiss to be special.”'

'John Carpay with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has been fighting a battle on behalf of three student groups. Each group is fighting their university’s students’ union for the right to have club status. Two are pro-life groups, while the other is a men’s rights group.

The Ryerson Men’s Issues Awareness Society is the real headscratcher. The group tries to bring awareness about issues that disproportionately affect boys, such as higher suicide rates, homelessness, workplace injuries and failure in school. It currently has a female president and half of its members are female – and why wouldn’t it?

... But Ryerson’s students’ union argues that the Women and Trans Collective were already dealing with these issues, and that because men have “systemic privilege,” a club like this couldn’t be allowed because it would “harass” women and make them feel “unsafe.”

Gutfeld pointed out Clinton also made reference to white women voting for Trump because their husbands or other people told them to.

"How profoundly sexist is that?" he asked.

Gutfeld said Clinton still lives in a world where "you don't see actual people, just the group they belong to."'

'As new accusations continue to be reported every day — across the world and here at Utah State University — leaders of an on-campus club have urged caution against jumping to conclusions regarding sexual assault.

During the fall 2017 semester, a politically conservative club distributed flyers on USU’s Logan campus advocating for people who, according to the flyer, were “falsely accused of sexual assault.”

Young Americans for Freedom, a USU Student Association-sanctioned club and a branch of a nationwide organization, promotes traditional values and free speech, said club president Taylor Cripe.

While Cripe acknowledged sexual assault as a major problem that deserves attention, she said it’s important to acknowledge that men’s lives are sometimes ruined by being falsely accused of sexual assault.

“That’s a serious crime to be falsely accused of,” Cripe said. “We think it’s important to see both sides of that — the women who have been abused, but also the men who have been falsely accused.”'

While perhaps the jobs they find are not as good or as high paying, and certainly not without costs along the way, for many the recovery is real. But for young men, it's actually gotten worse.
