'What exactly does marriage offer men today? “Men know there’s a good chance they’ll lose their friends, their respect, their space, their sex life, their money and — if it all goes wrong — their family,” says Helen Smith, Ph.D., author of "Men on Strike." “They don’t want to enter into a legal contract with someone who could effectively take half their savings, pension and property when the honeymoon period is over.Men aren’t wimping out by staying unmarried or being commitment phobes. They’re being smart.”

Unlike women, men lose all power after they say “I do.” Their masculinity dies, too.

What’s left of it, that is. In the span of just a few decades, America has demoted men from respected providers and protectors of the family to superfluous buffoons. Today’s sitcoms and commercials routinely paint a portrait of the idiot husband whose wife is smarter and more capable than he.

'Kaylyn Huval is a 28-year-old middle school teacher who found herself in some major hot water when she was accused of having sex with one of her students.

The Louisiana teacher admitted it in court, pleading guilty to one count of carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

Huval was sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with a 15-year-old student.

The judge, however, suspended that sentence.

Guess how long she’ll actually be spending behind bars?

She won’t be spending any time in jail.'

'A senior judge has today agreed four students falsely accused of gang rape can pursue £221,000 costs as he criticised police for 'cherry-picking' evidence to help the complainant.

Judge Jamie Tabor QC told Gloucester Crown Court that Detective Constable Ben Lewis, who is still on active duty, got too close to the woman and did not understand his job properly.

Thady Duff, Leo Mahon and Patrick Foster, all 22, and James Martin, 20, were arrested after a group sex session at a summer ball at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester.

The case against the students fell apart before trial after it emerged the woman, who cannot be named, had given 'different accounts' as a witness in another rape case.

Texts she sent on the night were not revealed and the court heard there were suggestions she had previously shown an interest in group sex.'

'Georgia Rep. Earl Ehrhart has challenged the Obama administration’s orders on how to handle allegations of sexual assault on college campuses for the same reason he threatened to stop Georgia Tech’s state funding over the school’s policy on investigating allegations of student wrongdoing.

“Even third graders know you’re innocent until proven guilty” is how the longest-serving Republican in the Georgia State House explained his legal theory to the College Fix.

Ehrhart and his wife have filed suit against the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights on behalf of Virginia Ehrhart’s son, who is a student at Georgia Tech.

Ehrhart said he and his wife are afraid her son, and other male students, could be hurt by what he described as an unconstitutional policy on the investigation of alleged campus sex crimes.

'Harvard has awoken a tiger with its new rules that ban fraternities, sororities and “final clubs” from leading athletic teams, holding leadership positions and even getting endorsements for top fellowships.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has started a petition campaign against Harvard’s “blacklist” of students in single-sex organizations, asking President Drew Faust to “restore freedom of association” for Harvard students:

"All of these organizations have been independent of Harvard since 1984, operate as off-campus entities, and do not receive any recognition or benefit from the university.

Harvard’s stunning attack on its students’ right to freedom of association directly undermines its core values, categorically denying students important benefits and opportunities on the sole basis of their maintaining officially disfavored private associations."

FIRE also said it is “preparing a formal response.”'

'The recruitment consultancy Robert Half decided to get some early PR out of International Women's Day this Tuesday. It published an analysis of salary rates in the UK for men and women concluding that women will earn £298,064 ($422,267) less than men over their lifetimes, a gender pay gap of 24%.

The press release has already been written up by the Evening Standard, The Guardian, and here at Business Insider.

The problem with this statistic is that ... it's rubbish.

The gender pay gap in the UK is just 9.4% and getting smaller every year, according to the Office for National Statistics, which does an annual survey of men's and women's wage rates specifically to monitor discriminatory pay.

And yet, the media persistently reports that women earn 20% or 30% less than men. The BBC made this exact claim as recently as February.

'Feminism today seeks to promote gender equality by eradicating these practices and doing away with traditional gender. In reality, there is little work to be done in terms of gender equality. However, with the angst of feminism still pulsing through society’s bloodstream, and no further work to be done, feminism has set its sights on masculinity — a reminder of the past oppression of women in America. When feminists talk about eliminating societal gender roles, what they’re really talking about is eliminating the presence of masculinity.

This sentiment is clear when participating in a conversation about gender and consequently feminism. I, as a woman, can engage in these conversations freely. On the other hand, I’ve witnessed my male counterparts attempting to participate in these conversations countless times, only to have their point completely invalidated with the slick, P.C. phrase, “Says the straight male.” Notice how someone with an alternate sexuality would not face the same criticism. That’s because it’s not men that new age feminists oppose, it’s the masculinity.

It’s the very existence of masculinity that is perceived as a threat to gender equality. By keeping the masculine voice boxed out of the conversation surrounding gender, women control the gender narrative and maintain their place in society. The consequence of this is that there is really no other group that is marginalized and invalidated more acceptably than the straight (often white) male.

'After years of complaints that they weren’t taking sexual assault reports seriously, colleges are finally doing so, and finding themselves slammed with lawsuits from men who say they were unfairly suspended or otherwise punished.

The schools are feeling caught in the middle.

“We’re trying to walk the razor’s edge between being more attentive to the issue but still being fair to all our students,” said Dana Scaduto, general counsel at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, who has testified before Congress on the issue.

At least 75 men have sued their schools since 2013, complaining largely of reverse discrimination and unfair disciplinary proceedings. Most were never charged with a crime because the accuser didn’t go to police, or authorities decided there wasn’t enough evidence.'

'A TEACHER of 35 years experience has warned young men against joining the profession after enduring an investigation into an alleged incident with a student that lasted close to two years and left him mentally scarred.

The southern suburbs man has detailed the isolating and humiliating “farce” he was put through when investigated by the Education Department, which has revealed it finalised 80 disciplinary matters involving teachers and other staff last year.

“It goes from zero to psycho in an instant,” the teacher said of the investigation into whether he inappropriately touched a student, which he estimated would have cost taxpayers $250,000.

“I am so pissed off because of the indignity of what I had to go through.

'WE progressives believe in diversity, and we want women, blacks, Latinos, gays and Muslims at the table — er, so long as they aren’t conservatives.

Universities are the bedrock of progressive values, but the one kind of diversity that universities disregard is ideological and religious. We’re fine with people who don’t look like us, as long as they think like us.

“Outside of academia I faced more problems as a black,” he told me. “But inside academia I face more problems as a Christian, and it is not even close.”

I’ve been thinking about this because on Facebook recently I wondered aloud whether universities stigmatize conservatives and undermine intellectual diversity. The scornful reaction from my fellow liberals proved the point.

Jonathan Haidt, a centrist social psychologist at New York University, cites data suggesting that the share of conservatives in academia has plunged, and he has started a website, Heterodox Academy, to champion ideological diversity on campuses.

'“If you’re a college student in Connecticut and want to have consensual sex, you might want to leave the state to do it,” reports The College Fix. The state’s left-leaning “legislature approved an ‘affirmative consent’ bill Wednesday night that now goes to Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy, a proponent of the idea that sex is rape if one partner does not get the other partner’s repeated and mutually-agreed upon consent throughout the act.” All Democrats voted in favor of the bill; only a handful of Republicans like Senator Joe Markley voted against it, citing its meddling in college students’ consensual sex lives. As we’ve previously explained, “affirmative consent” bills misleadingly define consent so narrowly as to brand many welcome, mutually enjoyed consensual encounters as “sexual assault.”'

Story here. So, the groups in question aren't barred from existing at Harvard. And yet, members thereof are to be institutionally discriminated against because they are merely members of them? This is what happens when you let SJWs and feminists push you around. Excerpt:

'Students who join Harvard's male-only social clubs won't be able to serve as sports captains or leaders of other campus groups starting in fall 2017.

The new policy, announced Friday by Harvard's first female president, also applies to other unofficial single-gender groups on campus, including fraternities and sororities. Top officials at the university have been pushing those groups to stop excluding students based on gender even though they aren't officially recognized by the school.

Harvard President Drew Faust said in a statement that while the school has opened its doors to women and minorities, the campus culture has lagged behind.

'Accused of rape, 26-year-old Ravi found himself among the category of accused held guilty by society till proven innocent. To make the matters worse for him, the Rewari district resident had to remain in the custody during the period of trial.

Coming to his rescue, a Rewari court has not only acquitted him of the charges but also ordered prosecution of the woman complainant. The judgment, expected to act as a deterrent against false rape cases, was pronounced by Rewari Additional Sessions Judge Phalit Sharma.

Taking up the matter, the Judge asserted the court was convinced that the prosecution had told a bundle of lies to the police and the court. It warranted her prosecution in accordance with law for letting the police to prosecute accused Ravi on wrong facts and false deposition before the court.

Ravi was booked for rape, criminal intimidation and other offences after an FIR was registered in February last year at Rampura police station in Rewari.'

'Northwestern University fraternities thought they were doing the right and noble thing, hanging banners off the sides of their houses reminding students that it was Sex Assault Awareness Month.

But not only was the move not enough to satisfy campus social justice warriors, some SJWs forced the fraternities to issue a blanket apology for their effort, because their signs might have “triggered” some students.
...
But apparently, simply recognizing sexual violence as a problem and informing your fellow students about the dangers of campus sexual assault—something campus feminists have been exhorting (and, in some ways, extorting) their fellow college students to do ad nauseum —is not enough to silence the clamoring harpy hordes.

'The state Senate gave final passage Monday to a bill that establishes an affirmative-consent threshold in cases of sexual assault on all college and university campuses in Connecticut. The bill now heads to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's desk. If he signs it, Connecticut would be the fourth state to adopt such a standard.
...
When adjudicating complaints of sexual assault among college students, determining whether there was consent is crucial.

Too often, proponents of the legislation say, victims are asked, "What did you do to say 'no'?" instead of asking the accused perpetrator, "How do you know the act was consensual?"
