The NFL’s “Rooney Rule” (named for Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney) requires all teams to interview at least one minority candidate for senior positions such as head coach or general manager. The rule is credited with increasing the number of black head coaches in the NFL.

'A male student who claims he was wrongly disciplined by Columbia University for a nonconsensual sexual encounter that he says was consensual should be allowed to sue school officials under federal anti-discrimination laws, his lawyer told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Tuesday.

Attorney Philip Byler said his client was the victim of an administration bowing to public pressure to stop sexual predators and believing that all misconduct allegations against male students are true.

He said his client "was made an example of for no other reason than political correctness."

Byler was asking the court to reverse a lower court's dismissal of his lawsuit, brought under Title IX, which bars colleges and universities that receive federal funds from discriminating based on gender.'

'Students around the country have signed an open letter calling on the U.S. Senate not to increase the budget of an Education Department Office that has been at the forefront of efforts to promote censorship, speech codes, and the whittling down of due process for students accused of sexual harassment.

The Senate is currently deliberating on whether or not to allocate additional funding to the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR). This is an office that has pressured colleges to adopt a range of disastrous policies, from stifling campus speech codes to poorly-disguised racial quotas in disciplinary policies.

'Competing with female co-workers could be bad for business, especially if you're a woman.

A new study has found that women might be held back in the workplace because of competition from other women.

Women who take competition with female co-workers too seriously might actually be damaging their careers by causing rifts and isolating themselves from the rest of the office.

According to the study from researchers at University College London's School of Management, the effect may be driven by fundamental differences between male and female culture values.

Dr Sun Young Lee, an assistant professor at UCL, found women experience competition with co-workers of the same gender more negatively than men do because female peer culture values harmony and equality.'

'There is, first of all, the way sexual assaults are being handled on college campuses. The increased focus on such assaults over the past few years may well be justified, but the overwhelmingly bureaucratic response favored by both universities themselves and the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights is not. If college administrators wanted to do a better job of protecting female students from various forms of sexual assault, especially rape, you might think they would do things like — oh, I don't know — crack down on Greek life, enforce the legal drinking age on campus, and make clear to students that all accusations of assault will be turned over to local law enforcement.

'But when he went to return them to her the next morning, the landlord found Wrightson dead — battered, bleeding and nude from the waist down.

Her killers, authorities said, were two of Wrightson’s young friends.
...
The 15-year-old girls, who cannot be publicly named due to their age, were convicted in Wrightson’s murder earlier this week after authorities said the pair beat her to death with items they found around her house: a shovel, a wooden stick filled with screws, a TV set.

The BBC reported that a mirror was smashed over the woman’s face.

During an hours-long torture session, authorities said, the girls goofed around on social media — posting pictures to Snapchat — and left for a “time out” before they returned to finish the job, according to the Guardian.'

'A new women-only ride share app is launching in an effort to offer a safer transportation alternative for women.

Chariot for Women launches on April 19, and will work in the exact same way as GPS-based ride shares like Uber and Lyft — with one major difference: only women will be able to drive, and only women and children are able to be passengers.

The app was created by Michael and Kelly Pelletz, a married couple whose income depended on Michael’s driving for Uber after the crumbling of his family business. According to the Chariot for Women website, as a driver, one experience left Michael particularly unsettled: He picked up a young man in his 20s, who he soon realized was seriously inebriated and who became somewhat aggressive. Michael nervously sought help from a police officer.

“How would a woman handle that situation, especially when I was so nervous myself?” Michael wrote.'

'President Obama will pay homage to women's equality Tuesday, designating the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, a historic house in the District that has housed the National Woman's Party since 1929, as a national monument.

The site, to be named the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument, honors both Alva Belmont, the National Woman's Party benefactor, and Alice Paul, who founded the party and served as its chief strategist. Obama will deliver remarks at the house, which served as the party's fifth headquarters and is on Capitol Hill, on Equal Pay Day, an annual commemoration that aims to highlight economic disparities between men and women. The date marks how many extra days a woman would have to work to make as much as a typical man would have made in the previous calendar year.'

'It's that time of year again when gender activists claim women are discriminated against en masse by employers and paid less than men as a result. These activists will refer to this alleged discrimination as the gender wage gap.

There is a gap between men and women, but it is not a wage gap — it is an earnings gap. Working women earn less on average than working men, but it is not due to some widespread discrimination or the elusive, conniving patriarchy.

Rather, the gap is due to the different choices men and women make during their education years and careers. The current gap — estimating that women earn 79 cents to the dollar that men earn — is a two-cent improvement from when I first started writing about the topic two years ago. But the real issue is not what the number is, but the misleading methods by which it is derived. In order to calculate a 21-cent earnings gap, one must overlook that the average working woman works in a lower-paying field and works fewer hours each week than the average working man.'

'Superpowers aside, the Powerpuff Girls are a lot more relatable than you think. They bicker just like you and your sisters do, and they also have to stand up to some pretty terrifying foes. No, we're not talking about evil, radioactive monkeys. We mean overgrown misogynists. Meet Townsville's newest villain. His name is, aptly, Manboy.

In the newest clip for the show, our tiny antagonist reveals that he has, "all the power of a man in the body of a boy." Sounds about right. Though his most impressive evil skill is the ability to grow a beard on command, that isn't quite a match for our girls. Nor should it be. If you had any doubts as to whether Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup could be feminist icons for a new age, please take a seat before they kick your butt, too.'

'If we want men to become better fathers, why not help them learn how they can be?

And why not do it before they fall into the very traps that produce countless bad fathers?

Those two concepts seem pretty logical, especially in a city like Jacksonville. But historically they are concepts that have rarely been embraced by many local programs that have been launched to foster better fatherhood in our community.

Too often these programs are only available to men after they’ve been in jail and released. Or they’re offered only after men have become entwined in the court system for failing to provide child support.'

'"A mother-of-two has revealed she has chosen to only date married men - not to wreck marriages but because she feels no man can be trusted.

Jenny Hendle, 36, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, is a serial dater with a difference - she refuses to give single guys the time of day.

Twice-divorced Jenny has already dated nine married men - and says she feels no guilt about seeing other women's husbands.

The bakery worker said: 'I believe there are no loyal and honest men, they don't exist. I have no interest in dating single men who will promise me the world then cheat on me.

'When I start to date a married man there is never any pretense of falling in love or long-term commitment."
...
She said: 'As a teenager I saw my dad persistently cheat on my mum. It was heartbreaking. We all knew it was happening and it broke my mum's heart.
