'Twitter has announced a new “Trust and Safety council” for the service comprised of fifty organisations, including controversial web series Feminist Frequency, with an overall goal purportedly to maintain an environment where people “feel safe expressing themselves” on the platform.

“To ensure people can continue to express themselves freely and safely on Twitter, we must provide more tools and policies,” states Twitter’s Head of “Global Policy Outreach” Patricia Cartes in an official blog post.'

This is more tangentially related to MR issues, as it discusses the popularity of marriage among the Millenials. It speculates only briefly on *why* such things as marriage are no longer popular and then only relative to the status of women, ignoring men completely. So while not perhaps directly applicable to the MRM, it gives people involved with it some food for thought. Excerpt:

'The next big thing isn’t a clever gadget or miracle drug—it’s a way of life: not a breakthrough invention but a social innovation. And it’s not so much a beginning as it as a series of endings.

Rising numbers of young people are now deciding to do everything their parents didn’t. They’re eschewing cultural and economic convention to challenge what we take to be civil society. They aren’t marrying. They’ve become the refuseniks of our competitive corporate culture. And many of them have opted out of organized religion.

According to the New York Times, over half of all American women under 30 who give birth are unmarried. When adjusted for levels of education and economics, the numbers skew dramatically higher.

'Following a landmark legal decision last summer, law professors across the country are criticizing affirmative consent policies as ineffective, unfair to defendants, and harmful to women. SAVE calls on lawmakers to focus on proven rape control strategies such as enhancing campus security measures, reducing alcohol-related assaults, and involving criminal justice authorities.

On August 4, 2015, judge Carol McCoy overturned a decision of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to expel a student on allegations of sexual assault. McCoy ruled the university’s affirmative consent standard “improperly shifted the burden of proof” because the “ability of an accused to prove the complaining party’s consent strains credulity and is illusory.”

'At Saturday’s Republican debate, the presidential contenders found rare agreement among themselves: women should register for the draft. But draft registration ends at age 45. That rules out Hillary Clinton supporters Madeline Albright (79) and Gloria Steinem (82).

“We can tell our story of how we climbed the ladder, and a lot of you young women think it’s done. It’s not done,” opined Madeline Albright, campaigning for Hillary in New Hampshire. “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.” Madeline (Hillary, Bernie: first names, please) suffered great discrimination as a woman, at least as she tells it, and things remain awful.

Too bad that as Bill Clinton’s United Nations Ambassador and then Secretary of State (Hillary was the third woman to hold the post), Madeline did not confront Arab countries on their treatment of women. These same nations would later fund Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Why rock the boat? Or the camel?'

'Two lawsuits have been filed against the University of Texas by plaintiff’s who say they were expelled from the university after being accused in sexual assault investigations. They claim the university’s Title IX investigators showed bias against male students by recommending their expulsion without giving them the proper due process.

A passage in the lawsuit says the university has sought publicity and prestige by portraying itself as a national leader in the effort to curb on-campus sexual assault, “The university has a vested interest in expelling as many male students for sexual assault as it can in order to maintain its appearance as a leader in this area.”

Article here. Seriously, *puke*. "Wanted: Teachers to teach girls that protecting/providing for men is womanly". No time soon. Excerpt:

'Lin Wei, 27, one of a handful of male sixth-grade teachers at a primary school here, has made a habit of telling stories about warlords who threw witches into rivers and soldiers who outsmarted Japanese troops. “Men have special duties,” he said. “They have to be brave, protect women and take responsibility for wrongdoing.”

Worried that a shortage of male teachers has produced a generation of timid, self-centered and effeminate boys, Chinese educators are working to reinforce traditional gender roles and values in the classroom.

Egad, it's a pandemic! Well, maybe it's not that bad, but the stench of feminist desperation is wafting madly from the Pro-Hildebeast crowd. Now, it's coming from a source I wasn't expecting (and someone who really ought to know better). Here goes:

'Democratic women are issuing every threat imaginable in their effort to save Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in New Hampshire.

During an appearance with the candidate Saturday afternoon, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright warned women of dire consequences if they don’t support her preferred candidate.

Attempting to sway young women to support Hillary, Albright said, “We can tell our story about how we climbed the ladder and a lot of you younger women don’t think you have to — it’s been done — it’s not done and you have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.

“And just remember: there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” she said.

Hillary burst out laughing as the audience cheered.

I knew eventually the insufferable old hag would shoot herself in the foot and with this, she's succeeded. She'll never live it down (like she hasn't the many other stupid things she's said) but this one limes the coconut with her own ideological great-grand-daughters. Hope they etch it on her gravestone as her epitaph, right next to the other ridiculous things she's blathered, so posterity can march past it, take a gander, and ask "Who was this nutcase and why did anyone ever put up with her in the first place?". Excerpt:

'Feminist icon Gloria Steinem has drawn the wrath of the Twitterverse for suggesting that young women supporting Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign are doing so to gain the attention of men.

“When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,'” Steinem told Bill Maher Friday night on the comic’s HBO show “Real Time.”

'Saying they lack legal standing to contest the change, a Commonwealth Court panel Thursday dismissed a bid by four alumnae of Wilson College to reverse the decision that made the private school co-ed.

The state court ruling comes 2 1/2 years after the first male residential students started living and learning at the Franklin County school which had been a women-only institution for 144 years.

Paula Tishok, Gretchen Van Ness, Kendal L. Hopkins and Melissa Behm had appealed to Commonwealth Court to overturn approval the state Department of Education gave to allow the admission of men.

Theirs were not the only voices raised in protest after trustees of the Chambersburg school, citing declining enrollment and debt load, voted in January 2013 to begin accepting male students. The first three men moved into the dorms in August of that year.'

'Male victims of domestic abuse often avoid reporting attacks because they fear being arrested themselves.

More than 700,000 men are thought to experience violence from a partner every year – but new research has shown that they risk counter-accusations.

Dr Jessica McCarrick, a senior lecturer in Counselling Psychology at Teeside University, carried out a study with male victims of abuse. Men are often treated with suspicion by the criminal justice system, she told the Telegraph.

‘To find the courage to speak out, only to be accused of violence themselves, is incredibly disheartening and ultimately prevents countless men from reporting intimate partner violence,’ she said.'

'Authorities in an English county are desperately trying to tackle the country's highest rate of domestic violence against men.

Nationally, the number of women killed through domestic violence is more than double that of men.

But in Cornwall, men made up four out of the five most recent victims.

Authorities there said they have been working to tackle the issue after a review said there could be a "chink in the chain of support for males".

Nationwide, the majority of fatal domestic abuse cases are killings by current or former partners, including heterosexual and homosexual couples.

But the figures also include family members such as siblings and parents - in accordance with the government's definition of domestic abuse.

One of the few male-only refuges nationally was introduced in Cornwall just over a year ago, in a secret location.'

'Gordon Smith was at the lowest point of his life three years ago. He was divorced, had multiple restraining orders — called an Order of Protection From Abuse in Delaware — against him and one felony and seven misdemeanor charges pending.

Then, his ex-wife leveled another accusation of domestic violence. This time, the Dover Police Department found that his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor put him miles away from his ex-wife at the time she said the violence occurred, he said.

After an investigation, the police swiftly cleared him of all eight charges and instead charged his ex-wife with three counts of falsely reporting an incident and one count of providing a false statement.

Smith is part of a small but vocal group of men and women who say Orders of Protection From Abuse are being misused to unfairly sway divorce and child custody cases in Delaware Family Court, and give credibility to unsubstantiated or false allegations.

'Hillary Clinton, the ultimate girl-power activist, once backed registering women for the draft — but now she won’t take a position on the issue.

At a town hall forum Wednesday night in New Hampshire, Clinton punted on a question from CNN host Anderson Cooper on whether she supports a recommendation this week from leaders of the Army and Marine Corps that women should register like men.

“I have to think about whether I think it’s necessary to go as far as our military officers are recommending,” Clinton responded.

“You know, from my perspective, the all-volunteer military has worked, and we should not do anything that undermines it because it has provided a solid core of people who are willing to serve our country. The idea of having everybody register concerns me a little bit, unless we have a better idea of where that’s going to come out.”'

'Young women in New Hampshire were offended by the way Hillary Clinton uses her gender to garner support, an MSNBC survey revealed Friday.

When MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall asked young female voters about Hillary Clinton’s claim on Wednesday that she is not an establishment candidate because she is a woman, they responded negatively.

One of the respondents said that she did not like how Clinton assumed that her feminism was identical to the feminism of all women.

“I also am a woman. I also face discrimination as being a woman. Her feminism does not represent my feminism, and I think it’s really important to differentiate that,” one young woman said. Her complaint is a common one among young women and reveals a generational divide within the Democratic Party.'

'A week after state lawmakers reprimanded Georgia Tech for its due-process practices in punishing students accused of sexual assault and other violations, the university withdrew its request for a $47.4 million library complex renovation.

The Tech money, which was slated for the first phase of renovation of the Crosland Tower and Price Gilbert Library, known as Library East and Library West, was the largest construction project the state’s university system requested in its budget proposal to lawmakers.
...
Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, said he did not encourage Tech to withdraw its building request, but felt the withdrawal was a clear consequence of last week’s hearing before lawmakers.

The Tech funding withdrawal came as state lawmakers questioned University System officials on their handling of sexual assault on Georgia’s college campuses.'
