'Anand Pilania's 30-year-old son committed suicide, alleging harassment by his wife and her relatives, but this is not the end of the ordeal for the 54-year-old man.

Faced with dowry allegations within two months of his son's death, adding to Pilania's woes is his daughter-in-law's complaint to the police that his son subjected her to unnatural sex.
...
Anand Pilania, father of 30-year-old deceased Rakesh Pilania, claims that his daughter in-law has been trying to entangle them in legal hurdles and is making a mockery of her husband's death.

Rakesh Pilania, a banker and an IIT alumni, had committed suicide on October 5 last year. He jumped from his apartment's balcony located in an upscale locality in Gurugram.

His family alleges that he committed suicide out of fear of being implicated under Section 498A of the IPC (cruelty against wife by husband or his relatives).'

'The creator of Minecraft is currently under fire for disagreeing with feminists on Twitter.

No fewer than four separate online news outlets have decided to publicly deride Markus “Notch” Persson for his extremely controversial stance that “women and men have equal worth and should be treated as such.” Unfortunately for the enraged hordes, he does not believe that includes perpetuating terminology like “manspreading,” or “mansplaining.” For these crimes against humanity, the courageous reporters at Destructoid, Vice, Point&Clickbait, and We Hunted The Mammoth have decided that he must be shamed.

'Ballinger’s lawsuit, filed in Tompkins County Court, alleges he was suspended, barred from campus and denied the ability to continue his education before being found guilty of any misconduct.

The suit alleges Cornell University’s Policy 6.4 is in violation of Education Law 6444(5). The policy, passed in 2012, addresses the university's obligations under Title IX, in accordance with guidance from the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. However, the policy has been criticized for going overboard and creating a "process fraught with inequities," according to a report completed by the university's own Judicial Codes Counselor in 2015, obtained by The Cornell Daily Sun.'

'Andrew Cavarno is on a mission.

The 23-year-old history major and labor studies minor is about to graduate from UC Santa Barbara, and then it’s off to pursue a law career. A self-described progressive with some libertarian leanings, his time as an undergrad has been spent hanging with frat brothers, pitching in with the UCSB Students for Bernie club, and enjoying studies and life on the coastal campus, where it’s nearly always in the 70s and surf’s up.

Yet his final semester at UCSB has taken something of an activist turn. It wasn’t something he really planned, but it grew out of his frustration that campus rape statistics have been blown wholly out of proportion and too many professors and peers refuse to see the truth — or even debate the issue.

He should know — he recently asked dozens of feminist professors, student activists and rape advocates to debate him publicly on campus about the claim that one in five coeds are raped or sexually assaulted while in college. No one said yes. Not one.'

'Protesters disrupted an event that featured a controversial speaker Tuesday, causing the Student Center to be shut down and attendees to march throughout DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus afterwards.

Milo Yiannopoulos, a technology reporter for Breitbart and a self-proclaimed “internet supervillain,” visited DePaul in an event held by DePaul’s College Republicans. The event, held in the Student Center, hit max capacity of 550 attendees, most of them supporters of Yiannopoulos’ outspoken conservative message.

But during the rally, a group of protesters stormed the stage and interrupted Yiannopoulos, riling up the crowd. One of the protesters was Ed Ward, a DePaul alum who founded Men of Vision and Empowerment, who ran up on stage about 15 minutes after Yiannopoulos began speaking.

'A simple blood test to identify if men have lost crucial genetic material in later life could finally close the gap in life expectancy between men and women, scientists believe.

New research shows that when men lose their Y sex chromosome they are hundreds of times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

Previous research has shown that smoking hugely increases the risk of losing the Y chromosome, suggesting that the missing genetic material may also be linked to cancer.

It is thought that Y chromosome is crucial for the normal function of the immune system and without it the body struggles to eliminate cancerous cells, and amyloid plaques in the brain which cause Alzheimer’s disease.

Now scientists at Uppsala University in Sweden have found it is possible to test for loss of the chromosome in a breakthrough which could lead to widespread screening which could pick up which men are at risk so that early health interventions could be made.

'About a dozen University of California, Santa Barbara students gathered on the lawn between the Arbor and library on Monday to call for hastened fulfillment of all 13 demands issued to the university administration last year after a 13-hour sit-in in Chancellor Henry Yang’s office. The peaceful demonstration also drew a few counter-protesters with objections to the university’s jurisdiction over sexual assault cases in the first place.
...
Shortly after Yang’s appearance, three members of UCSB’s Young Americans for Liberty crossed the walkway from where they’d been sitting near the Arbor store to occupy an adjacent portion of the library lawn. Fifth-year history major Andrew Cavarno and fourth-year political science major Jason Garshfield held printed signs disputing the right of universities to adjudicate sexual assault cases, Garshfield’s reading: “Pro-Due Process ≠ Pro-Rape.”

'Muirfield golf club has lost the right to host the prestigious Open championship after taking the stunningly regressive step of voting against reversing its ban on female members. In fairness, Muirfield members seem to have some very real concerns – a letter circulated by those campaigning against the change revealed the terrifying prospect that “lady members” may pose a threat to such noble traditions as “our foursomes play, our match system … our lunch arrangements”. Quelle horreur.

The news has prompted intense debate about male-only spaces and whether or not they should still be allowed, with one major argument cropping up again and again in most of the discussions I have heard. “Why shouldn’t men be allowed their own space, when women have women-only gym and swimming sessions? Isn’t that sexist?”

The answer is that these two things are not the same. In fact, they couldn’t be more different.

'Just when you think the modern gender debate can't descend any further into toe-curling incredulity, something else emerges to surprise you.

So you can imagine my delight when I read yesterday's article in FEMAIL about the 'agony' of women having to consider their children's fathers as equal parents.

No doubt struggling to be heard over the swell of sympathy violins, three mothers all bemoaned the inconvenience of 50/50 access, implying that dads should be neither seen, nor heard - except when coughing up child support, of course.
...
My response? BOO-HOO. Not just because their grievances were focused on themselves, rather than their own kids, but 'cos men have been dealing with this crap for decades without any sympathy from the sisterhood.'

'Choudhry’s acceptance of Berkeley’s proposed settlement came at a cost. He waived his right to appeal the university’s findings, challenge the sanctions, and seek vindication in a full-blown university disciplinary procedure. The benefit Choudhry reasonably relied on was resolution of the case.

Although Andrea LeCampagne’s OPHD report declared that “the Complainant has no motive to exaggerate,” on March 8, Tyann Sorrell filed in Alameda County Superior Court a potentially multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Choudhry and Berkeley, alleging, among other things, that he sexually harassed her and that the university failed to protect her.

'Pity the poor university student. Thanks to ‘safe spaces’ and ‘trigger warnings’, ‘no platforming’ and PC hogwash, they’re being turned from rigorous intellectual thinkers into delicate hothouse flowers - and, in doing so, they’ve been barred from a grand tradition of academia that stretches back for centuries: free speech.

Yes, the very same freedom women have only been enjoying for little over a century.

According to newly published research from the Higher Education Policy Institute, more women then men think universities should safeguard people of a particular gender, race or sexuality against offensive views.

Or, depending on where you get your news, ‘female students are pro-censorship.’

There’s an ugly subtext to this argument – that all the people complaining about the right to a safe space just don’t understand what university is about. After all, it wasn’t designed for them.'

'For the first time in nearly 170 years, Midway University will start accepting men as full-time undergraduates, the Board of Trustees has decided in a step aimed at keeping the small Woodford County school open.

Men can apply as full-time undergraduates starting this fall; they can apply to live in residence halls starting in spring 2017. Men are currently accepted into online and graduate programs.

“Today is yet another historic moment in the life of an institution that has always transformed itself to remain relevant,” President John Marsden said in a news release Monday. “Our founding mission was to provide young women with access to education at a time when education was mainly available to men. We have fulfilled that mission for 169 years and this decision will ensure that we continue to do so.”'

'A guest speaker for the UCSB Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) on Wednesday spoke against commonly held beliefs regarding sexual assault on college campuses.

Guest Speaker Andrew Cavarno, a fourth-year history major and member of Young Americans for Liberty, argued that a frequently referenced statistic of one in four women being sexually assaulted on college campuses is heavily inflated and lacking in evidence.

“There is absolutely no evidence of a rape epidemic on college campuses,” Cavarno said. “The word epidemic implies that there’s a sudden wave of sexual violence, or that things are getting worse – this is just not the case.”
