'Fuming feminists are leading Australia on a terrifying hunt for scapegoats.

How many innocent men are we going to see sent to the desert before we acknowledge our nation’s domestic violence problem doesn’t — and shouldn’t — rest on any individual’s shoulders?

The last couple of weeks haven’t demonstrated impressive progress toward tackling domestic violence — or having calm debate. Rather, they are cheerless affirmation of how frenzied and dangerously controlling the modern feminist movement is becoming. The hunt is on — and heading in the wrong direction.

Those who aren’t fierce feminists want unity and equality between the sexes — not incensed war. Domestic violence is a serious, challenging issue running rife. Statistics are well known, but our strategy in dealing with that data is taking a hysterical feminist lead rather than calm yet urgent action.'

'A complaint to the Democratic National Convention says two male Vermont delegates were replaced by women in the name of "gender balance" and without adequate due process.

The complaint, filed by 21 Vermont Democrats, says the national party this month ordered the state party to replace Vermont Sen. Tim Ashe and party stalwart Ken Dean although Dean and Ashe were elected June 11.

Dean told The Associated Press on Wednesday about the complaint. It was filed with the DNC credentials committee.

Executive director Conor Casey of the Vermont Democratic Party said Thursday the state party was trying to follow national party requirements. A national party spokesman didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.'

'The expulsion of two college athletes on sexual misconduct grounds highlights a little-known facet of the latitude schools are given when investigating such cases: They can mete out punishment even in the absence of a complaint from the alleged victim.

Former Yale University basketball captain Jack Montague and former Colorado State-Pueblo football player and wrestler Grant Neal both filed federal lawsuits this year over their expulsions, alleging their schools mishandled information that originated with someone other than the alleged victim.

"There is no real complainant," said attorney Andrew Miltenberg, who represents Neal and has been the lawyer for about 100 men accused of sexual assaults on campuses. "There is no victim making the charge. There is the school acting on some sort of hearsay or information."

Beth Hamilton, the director of prevention and programs at the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, defends the "preponderance" standard as appropriate in a college setting.

'After Yale University expelled Jack Montague, a former basketball team captain determined by school officials to have sexually assaulted a female student, his lawyers went out on the offensive.

Employing an increasingly common strategy for male college students accused of sexual misconduct, Montague’s lawyers sued Yale in June, accusing the school of violating the former basketball star’s due process rights. The suit claims Yale railroaded Montague to counter criticism that it hasn’t reacted strongly enough to reports of sexual assault.

The case comes as universities are amping up their response to sexual assault allegations. Those efforts have gained steam as reports of campus assaults have grown more widespread, and following a U.S. Department of Education threat, in a 2011 directive, to withhold federal funding under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act to schools that don’t adequately respond to sexual violence.

'Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been suspended from Twitter once more just 20 minutes before his “Gays for Trump” event takes place at the Republican National Convention.

The justification for the suspension is currently unknown, although it could be as a result of Milo’s run-in with Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones on the site. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey publicly reached out to Jones late on Monday evening after she complained about “abuse” on the platform. Milo was suspended despite the fact that he sent no abusive tweets to the actress.

BuzzFeed gleefully reported that the suspension is permanent, citing a statement from Twitter promising a clampdown on “targeted abuse.” Milo has also received a message from Twitter confirming that that his ban is permanent, copied below.'

'Responding to high-profile cases at Stanford University, Vanderbilt, Baylor, and elsewhere, Democratic and Republican legislators are beginning to enact laws that emphasize traditional criminal justice approaches to curbing campus rape. Lawmakers have largely abandoned consideration of affirmative consent policies, which require intimate partners to indicate agreement at every step of sexual activity.

In the wake of the Stanford rape case, California lawmakers have begun debating whether to expand the definition of rape and establish minimum sentencing requirements. In Missouri, a bill was enacted on July 1 that directs universities to enter into a memorandum of understanding with law enforcement on sexual assault policies (SB 921). Laws designed to strengthen the reporting of sexual assault cases to local law enforcement were enacted earlier this year in Hawaii and Virginia.'

'When Haley Lind was found alone in a stranger’s bathroom, she was naked and in a drunken stupor, barely able to stand or speak, a raucous party raging around her. She awoke in her bed hours later, her head pounding, leaves in her hair, soaked in her own urine.

“I think I got assaulted last night,” she texted a friend the morning after the annual welcome-back-to-school Block Party at the University of Virginia. “Something just feels very wrong.”

In a dorm room about a mile away, a freshman athlete got up that same morning with a clear memory of his first college party, just days into his U-Va. career. At an off-campus residence where athletes lived, there had been the cups of a potent liquor drink and crowds of sloshed students. An alluring, petite blonde had led him into an upstairs bathroom for sex, a rash decision that would end up haunting him.'

'A University of Michigan-Flint professor has filed a civil rights complaint against Michigan State University over its women's study lounge.

But the lounge, located on the first floor of the MSU Student Union, won’t be restricted when it reopens later this summer, according to MSU spokesman Jason Cody. The lounge is currently being converted into an all-purpose quiet study area, accessible to all students.

But that doesn’t mean MSU is off the hook, said Mark Perry, the University of Michigan-Flint economics professor who filed the complaint in July.

“I think MSU owes an apology to the thousands of men whose civil rights have been violated,” Perry said, noting that men were previously not allowed to use the public space.'

'Last week’s news that Nottinghamshire Police in the UK now classifies misogyny as a hate crime was praised by feminist bloggers in the U.S., eager to move to the utopian county where relentless catcallers are thrown behind bars.

The Huffington Post and the Guardian both praised Notts Police.

“Literally why isn’t this a thing everywhere?” asked one writer at Self magazine, thrilled that any Nottinghamshire “asshole who whistles at you every morning needs to think twice before doling out another cat-call. That’s criminal now, sucker.”

Well, not necessarily.

In a statement announcing the initiative, a collaboration with the Nottingham Women’s Centre, the police department has broadened its definition of a ‘hate crime’ to include misogyny and harassment of women.

'An advisory group is urging St. Olaf College to hire a full-time case manager just to handle complaints of sexual misconduct on the campus of 3,000 students.

That is one of the key recommendations in a lengthy report released Thursday in response to campus protests this spring.

St. Olaf commissioned the report in April after a group of students accused the liberal arts college in Northfield of mishandling allegations of campus rape, which has become a growing nationwide issue.

Thursday’s report, by a group of students, faculty, staff and outside experts, concluded that the college needs someone to devote full time to managing complaints filed by or against students.

Hundreds of women are murdered in Pakistan yearly, thousands in total there and in other Muslim countries, in "honor killings" done because they had the temerity to try living their lives without being coerced into compliant submission. Yet supposed feminists like Hillary Clinton, et al, remain utterly silent. They're more obsessed with a mythical wage gap and imaginery "microaggressions". Priorities are non-existent, it seems. Excerpt:

'A Pakistani social media celebrity whose selfies polarised the deeply conservative Muslim country has been murdered by her brother in a suspected honour killing, officials said Saturday, prompting shock and revulsion.

Qandeel Baloch, praised by many of the country's youth for her willingness to break social taboos but condemned by conservatives, was strangled near the city of Multan, police said.

'Absent dads may be contributing to the growing male gender gap in higher education, according to research published by a professor at Brigham Young University.

Brian Willoughby, an assistant professor in the School of Family Life, was one of three authors that recently published a study in the journal “Family Relations” looking at whether the declining rate of males enrolling in college has been influenced by nonmarital birth rates and father absences.

What they found was that the gender gap opened up about 18 years after family structure changes in the late 1960s.

“I think we need to continue to talk about fathers and talk about their importance in our culture as we get more and more messages that they don’t matter,” Willoughby said.'

'Fathers play a surprisingly large role in their children's development, from language and cognitive growth in toddlerhood to social skills in fifth grade, according to new findings from Michigan State University scholars.

The research provides some of the most conclusive evidence to date of fathers' importance to children's outcomes and reinforces the idea that early childhood programs such as Head Start should focus on the whole family, including mother and father alike. The findings are published online in two academic journals, Early Childhood Research Quarterly and Infant and Child Development.

"There's this whole idea that grew out of past research that dads really don't have direct effects on their kids, that they just kind of create the tone for the household and that moms are the ones who affect their children's development," said Claire Vallotton, associate professor and primary investigator on the research project. "But here we show that fathers really do have a direct effect on kids, both in the short term and long term."'

'A Jefferson County teen has been released from prison after a jury returned a verdict of not guilty on Wednesday for two felony counts of second-degree sexual assault.

Jordan Berry, 18, was released after serving more than a year in prison for a crime he did not commit.

After an hour and a half of deliberation, the seven male and five female jurors returned a not guilty verdict on all counts against Berry.

"Justice has been served," said Brenda Williams, Berry's mother. "I knew he was innocent from the beginning."

In November 2014, Berry, then 16, was arrested after a girl he had multiple prior relations with, accused him and another teen of raping her.

Berry spent more than a year waiting for his name to be vindicated and his friend, Josh Jenkins, must wait another month before he can have his trial.

"This was horrifying for my family. It destroyed our lives," Williams said.
