'People generally think that women’s welfare should be preserved over men’s, according to a new study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Researchers conducted a series of experiments in which subjects were presented with scenarios in which their choices could lead to a (real or hypothetical) person being harmed in some way.
...
Subjects were also asked questions such as: “On a sinking ship, whom should you save first? Men, women, or no order”; and “According to social norms, how morally acceptable is it to harm men/women for money?”

Overall, the answers of both female and male respondents suggested that social norms account for greater harming behavior toward a male than a female target.'

'Are Men's Rights Activists (MRAs) a necessary force for good, or harmful and unnecessary?

According to entrepreneur and Telegraph Men columnist Alex Proud, groups identifying themselves as such are "deluded conspiracy nutjobs" who ought to be ignored at every turn.

"In MRA circles, you’ll hear a lot about the feminisation of society, but when pressed on specifics, MRAs either dissemble or offer up examples where women are moving towards the same deal men have enjoyed for years. You do start to wonder if it’s all just nostalgia for a time when boys ruled the world without having to try," Proud wrote.

Others, however, see the existence of organised communities speaking out for male issues a natural and necessary antidote to feminism.'

'A 21-year-old woman was arrested on Monday for filing a fake abduction-cum-sexual assault case against three men in Delhi last week, police said.

Investigators said the woman, a resident of Jagatpuri in east Delhi, had demanded Rs 10 lakh extortion money from the three persons to withdraw her rape complaint against them.

'Planned Parenthood Action’s black community outreach arm is blaming the Orlando terrorist attack on “toxic masculinity.”

Shortly after the terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub, a popular gay bar, the Twitter account claiming to represent Parenthood Black Community tweeted its own theories about the motivation behind the attack. Planned Parenthood Black Community alleged the attack was due to “toxic masculinity” and “imperialist homophobia,” while simultaneously claiming it has nothing to do with Islam:
...
Planned Parenthood Black Community explained, stating, “Toxic masculinity enables rapists & rape culture, violent heterosexism & attacks on reproductive freedom”:'

'If you were charged with a heinous sex crime, you would assume that the investigation of the allegation would be impartial and fair. Indeed, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights Revised Sexual Harassment Guidance mandates that universities undertake “adequate, reliable, and impartial investigation of complaints.” Likewise, the OCR’s 2011 Dear Colleague Letter on campus violence instructed that, “a school’s investigation and hearing processes cannot be equitable unless they are impartial.”

But what if it turned out colleges were ignoring the OCR’s impartiality requirement, and instead training investigators to adhere to “victim-centered” approaches, which in practice means “always believe the victim”?

Two days later the Montana District Court ruled against the request on technical grounds. But Judge Dana Christensen sharply criticized the university’s adjudication procedures, explaining:

'The UK university admissions service UCAS “for the first time” has put out data regarding the likelihood of college acceptance “based on gender, ethnicity and the social background of applicants.”

And guess what — “Women were found to attend university 90 per cent more than men,” and “disadvantaged groups, young men and the white ethnic group are the most under-represented in higher education.”

UCAS Chief Executive Mary Curnock Cook said “Girls are doing better throughout primary, secondary and higher education than boys; poor, white boys are the most disadvantaged group in entry to higher education and the gap is getting bigger.”'

'Engineman? Yeoman? Not so fast. Now that women will be allowed to serve in all combat jobs, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are dropping "man" from some of their job titles to make them inclusive and gender-neutral.

Much like the term "fireman" has evolved to "firefighter" and "policeman" to "police officer," an engineman could be called an engine technician and a yeoman could be called an administrative specialist.

"This is one more step in how our force has changed," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said in an interview Friday. "Our force has evolved, our force is different. And I believe it's stronger and better."

Some Army and Air Force titles end in "man," too, but the services aren't considering changing them. The names are historically significant, and the focus now is on bringing women into the jobs rather than on what to call them, both services said.'

'Despite key votes in Congress, it remained unclear Friday whether the United States is closer to an historic move requiring women to register for the military draft.

The Senate was wrapping up an annual defense bill that calls for opening the Selective Service to women despite opposition from some conservative lawmakers. Meanwhile, the House reached an opposite outcome in May when Republicans successfully blocked a measure integrating the draft.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle cried foul, claiming the issue did not get adequate debate. Now, as Congress pushes ahead with its annual defense budget, the House and Senate face brokering a compromise between lawmakers who are deeply divided over requiring women between 18-25 years old to register with Selective Service -- and potentially forcing them to the front lines of future wars.

'Someone needs to remind Hillary she is running for president of a country with a population of both women and MEN. If you read her Twitter feed, or listen to her speak, you would think she only cares about the female vote. It’s a little bit like she’s trying to get elected on Paradise Island, Wonder Woman’s birth place, but instead of an island full of gorgeous Amazons it’s a commune full of angry women who own a bunch of cats, demanding abortions.
...
Here we have her tired talking point about women’s rights somehow being different from men’s; we still can’t seem to find that one amendment in the Constitution that speaks specifically of women’s rights.
...
If only Hillary herself treated women with respect this tweet might actually mean something. And there’s the issue with her “we are women hear us roar” agenda, Hillary’s own record with women is not great. But hey, she’s a woman, so what difference does it make?'

'The University of Virginia dean who is suing Rolling Stone for defamation has asked a federal judge to force the National Organization for Women (NOW) to turn over its correspondence with lawyers for the woman whose false rape claims are the centerpiece of the debunked article, “A Rape on Campus.”

Attorneys for the dean, Nicole Eramo, allege that NOW, the largest feminist group in the U.S., and the lawyers for the false rape accuser, Jackie Coakley (“Jackie”), engaged in a “publicity stunt” by jointly crafting a Jan. 6, 2016 open letter criticizing Eramo for “re-victimiz[ing]” the fabulist.

Defendants in the $7.5 million lawsuit — which include Rolling Stone and its reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely — have indicated that they plan to introduce the letter as evidence in the case.'

'If you want to know the difference between someone who is a victim of rape and someone who is a victim of the “rape culture,” you could do worse than compare the recent cases at Stanford and at Columbia.

In the case of the former, two graduate students came upon a young woman, unconscious, on the ground behind a trash bin as a man was assaulting her. She awoke in the hospital to find, by her own account, “fingers had been jabbed inside me along with pine needles and debris.”

In the case of the latter, a young woman (now widely known as “Mattress Girl” because she carried a mattress around campus to symbolize her plight) claimed that a man with whom she’d previously had consensual sex, assaulted her in her bed and then left.'

'Here in America, there are no massacres happening and white men are certainly not a minority, but white men are regularly passionately smeared, attacked and degraded in our country. White people (men included) are the only group in the country that is discriminated against via Affirmative Action by official government policy. In all fairness, Asians are also discriminated against by universities that often wave them off in favor of less qualified applicants from different racial groups, but there’s no widespread cultural assault against Asian Americans. To the contrary, when it comes to white men, outright hatred based on our skin color is commonplace. Just look at some of the stories we’ve covered at Right Wing News over the last couple of months.

It’s not like we’re looking for these stories or covering every one that comes down the pike; there are just so many hateful attacks aimed at whites in general and white men in particular that they’re bleeding into the news.

'Oscar-nominated actress Patricia Clarkson sounded off on sexism in Hollywood, the gender wage gap and the backlash against the upcoming all-female Ghostbusters reboot in an interview, explaining that women are “still underpaid” and are still “a vast minority” in the entertainment industry.
...
“There are still so many movies made starring 50 men and one woman!” Clarkson told the paper. “A white male actor should never be allowed to complain about anything. Shut up and sit in the corner. I mean, seriously!”
...
“Men make bad movies that bomb all the time but they’re like, ‘Oh well, we didn’t do the marketing right.’ Eat me!” Clarkson told the paper.

Clarkson, who’s gearing up for the release of her latest film, Learning to Drive, also challenged comments made recently by Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington, who said that men also experience sexism in the entertainment business.

'The case should remind us of something important: Don’t think in categories. The left slips into this all the time: Men are guilty; women are victims. The right has its own categories: Campus rape is ginned-up hysteria based on missed signals and regretted sex. Both sides need to remove their blinders.
