'Women-only ride-sharing services certainly seem to make sense following a spate of reports in which female passengers have been allegedly attacked, sexually assaulted and discriminated against by both Uber and traditional taxi drivers.

But how can a segregated ride service exist today at the exclusion of men? Isn’t that discriminatory?

“In the context of a women-only ride share program I don’t think it would breach the human rights code,” says Nicole Simes, an employment and human rights lawyer at MacLeod Law Firm in Toronto. “Presumably the purpose is to reduce sexual violence and harassment against women which is a justifiable reason for the differential treatment.”

'The manspreading menace is sweeping the nation, and threatens to cripple our already crumbling infrastructure, which is why officials in California are taking decisive action to eradicate it.

Men (or women) with problematically wide stances could face hefty fines after the San Francisco transit board approved a strict “one ticket, one seat” policy. Los Angeles transit officials will consider a similar measure in the coming months.

Offenders will be fined $100 for the first violation, $200 for a second offense within a 12-month period, and $500 for each repeat violation within five years. It is unclear how the new rule will be enforced.

Manspreading is real, and can happen to you and your loved ones.'

'RHODES university returned slowly and "sensitively" to its academic programme on Monday, although the rape culture on campus remained the subject of campus debate and protest.

Last week’s High Court interdict against unlawful activities on the campus remained in place, despite heated argument from campaigners and an intervention from 36 Rhodes academics, who urged that the restraint be lifted as an "act of good faith".
...
The problematic issue remains the activists’ demands that any student accused of rape or sexual assault be evicted from a residence and classes during the investigation, and that investigations proceed immediately against students named on the so-called reference list.

The SRC said vice-chancellor Sizwe Mabizela would not accede to this demand because he was not prepared to defy section 35(3) of the South African constitution, which stated that a person was innocent until proven guilty.'

'This isn’t Rihanna’s first murder. She walks through a strip club’s red velvet curtains in her new (and NSFW—again, this is a strip club) music video “Needed Me,” holding a gun with a silencer. She has a practiced hand. In the backroom, she hits her mark, a man who throws a wad of cash towards her. One shot and he crumples. Two, he falls to the floor. She fires a third for good measure.
...
Though these depictions of murder are the most explicit crimes against men committed therein, Rihanna’s entire visual discography is actually a master class in misandry. Not in how to hate men, per se (and certainly not in how to literally murder them), but in how to act like they really, truly could not matter less to you. If there’s anything Rihanna doesn’t give a fuck about in her videos, it’s men.

'A Colorado State student who claims he was falsely accused of rape says a "Dear Colleague" letter from an assistant secretary of the Department of Education encourages colleges to deny male students due process.

As universities' responses to rapes, sexual assaults and harassment have become nationwide news, increasing numbers of young men have sued their colleges, claiming they have been suspended or expelled, though the women acknowledged that the sex was consensual.

Colorado has seen at least two such discrimination lawsuits in the past three years.

In 2015, Colorado University at Boulder paid a student $15,000 in a settlement after he was found guilty of sexual assault in 2013.'

'After a 70-year-old man committed suicide by consuming poison in police custody, police Saturday lodged a case of abetment to suicide against the man who allegedly lodged against him a “false” case of rape attempt on his minor daughter.

Om Prakash’s family has alleged that the “false” FIR was a fallout of a monetary dispute between him and the girl’s father, Addl SP Pankaj Kumar said, quoting from the complaint filed by Prakash’s son Manoj.

He added that they were yet to lodge a complaint against the officers whose “dereliction” resulted in the man’s death in custody. “The decision in this regard will be taken by the SSP, who is not in the district now,” he said.

Prakash’s family has said the girl’s father had “threatened” to lodge a “false” complaint against him. Prakash, a farmer, had reportedly replied that he would consume poison if any “false charge” was levelled against him.'

'An American University faculty member attempted to make life difficult for journalists covering a campus protest last night, but her plan went awry after she called the police.

The Washington Examiner's Ashe Schow was at AU last night reporting on Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopolous' visit to campus. (Schow tells me she was there on behalf of a forthcoming documentary, Thought Police, and was not representing The Examiner.) Yiannopoulos is a deliberately controversial figure, and his presence on campus prompted a student protest.

A female faculty member—now dubbed Melissa Click 2.0--tried to interfere, telling Schow and her camera crew that they were required to accompany her inside. They had to follow "certain regulations that the university is guided by" because AU is providing "a safe space for everybody who works or studies on this campus," she claimed.'

'Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women offers a comprehensive overview and debunking of the "rape culture" myth that has devastated campuses and is spilling into Main Street America. An ideological madness is grotesquely distorting North America's view of sexuality. The book applies sanity to the claims that men are natural rapists and our culture encourages sexual violence.

Written by a libertarian feminist and rape survivor, Rape Culture Hysteria opens with a highly personal appeal to depoliticize rape and treat it instead as a crime. Victims need to heal. Politicizing their pain and rage is a callous political maneuver that harms victims, women and men.
...
Defend yourself and your children against rape culture zealots. Demand sanity.'

'Social media and activism are intrinsic parts of many Americans’ lives. But what if the cause an employee espouses is one which the employer disagrees with, or has concerns that it may interfere with business prospects? In the past, an employee’s private life may never have come to the attention the company. But with the rise of social media, few activities are truly private.

To be clear, the issue does not involve what an employee does while at work. It only concerns what the employee does in his own time and off company premises.
...
Concerns about employee free speech extend beyond examples where there may be a business interest involved. According to the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), much of the interest in employee free speech arose in April of 2014, when:

'On April 22, the Justice Department ordered the University of New Mexico adopt an unconstitutional speech code. It is demanding that the University label as “sexual harassment” all “unwelcome” sexual conduct, including “verbal” conduct (that is, speech). The university must encourage students to report it as such; and investigate it when it is reported.

'If you’re a sports fan (like me) who likes to watch the very best athletes engaged in the highest level of competition, then Daniela Brighenti’s recent article in the Yale Daily News won’t make a lot of sense to you.

Desiring to watch the best sporting events, you see, is merely a “societal (and cultural) bias” against women.'

'Six Connecticut police departments will “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes” on April 30 to bring awareness to domestic violence.

Event chairman and Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara joined affiliate News 8’s Stephanie Simoni wearing high heels on their morning show. He plans to walk a mile in red peep-toe stilettos.

MacNamara says even though many women have brought awareness to the domestic, it’s important men also lead the conversation and be responsible role model for young boys.'

'WE OPEN on a young girl at a family gathering. A young boy, aged 10, rushes past with two friends — the girl follows.

As he walks through a doorway with two other young boys, he lets them pass through first before slamming it closed on the girl behind him, spilling her food.

Through a window in the door we see the boy smile cheekily. This girl’s mother helps her pick up her plate and consoles her.

“You’re OK, he just did it cause he likes you,” mum says.

This is the opening scene of the first video advertisement in the government’s new media blitz to combat disrespect towards women.

The one minute clip shows a series of scenes demonstrating accepted and casual sexist behaviour.

In one scene a boy’s father is seen to shout to his son not to “throw like a girl”. In another a trio of male teens snigger at a photo they take of a woman’s breasts.

'IN this era of women-only parking, women-only trains, women-only apartments and transgender bathrooms, it seems the only acceptable man is a man who wants to be a woman.

The job of pathologising masculinity continues apace.

There’s the government’s new domestic violence campaign which portrays little boys as aggressive misogynists.

There’s the undergraduate newspaper Honi Soit, which claims that rugby teams at private boys’ schools foster a “rape culture”.

Or what about the Sydney preschool which bans four-year-old boys from dressing up as Batman for fear superhero costumes will make them “violent”?

Yes, the only way men can find forgiveness for their dark, brute natures is to denounce other men, or otherwise to swap sexes, a la Caitlyn Jenner.'
