'A student diversity officer arrested when she allegedly tweeted #KillAllWhiteMen has quit her role after being accused of bullying a colleague.

Bahar Mustafa - student union welfare and diversity officer at Goldsmiths University, London - announced today she was leaving her post.

Her resignation comes just 24 hours after union president Adrihani Rashid left her £22,000-a-year role claiming she was bullied by fellow sabbatical officers.

Ms Rashid said she was stepping down after being harassed by Alex Etches, the student union's Campaigns and Activities Officer, and Ms Mustafa.

Ms Mustafa today confirmed she would be resigning following the allegations.'

'A Duquesne University student's claims that she was robbed and sexually assaulted last month were untrue, Pittsburgh police said Thursday.

The student told police three men approached her while she was walking behind the campus' Barnes & Noble bookstore, according to a crime alert released Oct. 28 by the university.

She told police they forced her to go with them to an apartment on Crawford Street, where they stole her money and a credit card and sexually assaulted her.

Police declined to say why the student told them she was assaulted. “I will only state that the investigation determined that the student's claims were untrue,” Public Safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.'

'Every so often comes a jolt to remind my generation of just how much times and attitudes have changed over the course of our lifetime, and how strange we must seem to our young.

Such a moment came for me yesterday when I opened the paper to see two pages of advertisements from the Seventies, headlined: ‘The ads that put the sex in sexism.’

Now, like many of my age (I’ll be 62 this month), I’ve always regarded the decade of my late teens and 20s as pretty modern times. True, men tended to wear their hair longer than today — and such fashions as sideburns, flared trousers and avocado bathroom fittings look decidedly dated in 2015.'

'If there’s one person who epitomises the University of York’s notable alumni, it’s Harriet Harman.

The Labour MP studied politics there in the early 1970s before becoming a lawyer and, subsequently, a politician who — not long ago — believed that touring Britain in a pink van might dismantle the ‘patriarchy’ (otherwise known as civilisation, to you and I; something men created, but women have long enhanced, benefited from and now co-own).

Needless to say, she was wrong. On paper her approach may have had all the hallmarks of a PR success story, but in today’s climate it simply smacked of tired tactics. Still, by the University of York’s standards, it was probably A-grade stuff. After all, stale with esoteric feminist professors and their wacky take on reality, they too remain locked in Harman’s time-warped mindset.

Earlier this week, the college u-turned plans for a modest International Men’s Day (IMD) meeting — even though it coincided with a parliamentary discussion on the 19 November event.

'A Tory MP has been criticised for complaining about 'militant feminists' as he led a debate to mark International Men's Day.

Philip Davies won the three-hour Commons session by saying women have plenty of special days - and men need an equivalent to talk about the fact more than three-quarters of suicides are by men .

During a 44-minute speech Mr Davies spoke up about male suicide, men's fight to win custody of their children and the lack of male primary school teachers.

But female MPs rounded on him after he accused 'militant feminists' of 'stirring up' division and championing 'equality but only when it suits'.

He also said it was time to end the 'stereotypical image' of all domestic violence being against women and condemned 'positive discrimination'.

Mr Davies declared: "I want to be very clear - I don't believe there is actually an issue between men and women.'

'His name is Gregory Alan Elliott. He has been on trial for three years, in a costly Canadian court battle with drastic implications for free speech. For two years, he was banned from the internet, where he previously earned much of his income. His artwork, hanging in a local coffee shop in Toronto, was recently defaced by a mob of enraged activists.

Crippled by loss of work and the ongoing court case, Elliott and his family have been forced to turn to an online crowdfunding campaign to cover their legal costs. What did he do to bring about such persecution? Did he kill someone? IS he a virulent white supremacist? A campaigner for pedophile rights?

No. Elliott criticised feminists on the internet.

'A crew member from "The Hunting Ground," a one-sided film about campus sexual assault, has been editing Wikipedia articles to make facts conform with the inaccurate representations in the film.

Edward Patrick Alva, who is listed on the film's IMDB page as part of the camera and electrical department, has been altering Wikipedia entries for months, in violation of the website's conflict-of-interest guidelines. Alva is the assistant editor and technical supervisor for Chain Camera Pictures, the production company associated with "The Hunting Ground" director Kirby Dick.

Wikipedia guidelines state: "Do not edit Wikipedia in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships." As a member of the film's production team, Alva should not have been editing pages about the film or related to the film.'

This Sunday, November 22nd, CNN will be airing The Hunting Ground, a propaganda piece that includes blatant lie after blatant lie: http://www.saveservices.org/sexual-assault/hunting-ground/

SAVE held a National Press Club event to counteract the film back in March, and recently a group of Harvard professors have issued a press release against the film as well: https://kcjohnson.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/hls-pressrelease.pdf

Florida State University's President has also just denounced the film: http://deadline.com/2015/11/florida-state-president-cnn-hunting-ground-campus-rape-documentary-1201626249/

Help us contact CNN executive producer, Rebecca Kutler, and tell her to not allow CNN to be used as a propaganda vehicle for The Hunting Ground.

'Do men need to check their privilege? Gender activists tell us that men carry around with them an invisible knapsack of advantage. Well, is this true and is it the whole story? AEI Scholar Christina Hoff Sommers checks the facts.'

'If you are at all like me, your first reaction upon learning that this is a reality is that the holiday must be a joke, a smug retort to International Women’s Day, which is observed on March 8, mostly in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, although it actually began as a socialist celebration in New York. (If that was not your first response, congratulations on your light heart.) But it isn’t. The day doesn’t exist to celebrate machismo, or to ask why American women are whining about pay when women in other countries are worse off (sound argument), or to complain that women are confusing and/or overly sensitive (hey!).

On November 19 (if you’re reading this on its day of publication, that’s today), 60 countries—including the United States, apparently—observe International Men’s Day. What is it? Why does it exist? And, in a world where, to quote Manuel Contreras-Urbina, who runs the Global Women’s Institute at the George Washington University, “There is not one society that is not patriarchal” (disclaimer:there are six), do we need an International Men’s Day?

Maybe, maybe not. We do, however, need to talk about men’s issues.

But first, to briefly discuss the day: In 1999, Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh of Trinidad and Tobago began International Men’s Day to improve gender relations and celebrate and support positive male role models. The day only reached a wider audience, however, in 2007, when Australia’s Warwick Marsh, co-founder of the Fatherhood Foundation, and India’s Uma Challa, founder and president of India’s Men’s Welfare Association, came together to promote the day.

'A woman must abide by an agreement with her ex-husband to destroy five frozen embryos if they got a divorce, despite her contention that they represent her last chance to have children, a California judge ruled Wednesday.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Anne-Christine Massullo said in a tentative decision that the agreement trumps the woman's desire to now keep the embryos. The woman, Mimi Lee, had argued that cancer made it risky for her to get pregnant, so the embryos were her last chance to have her own genetic child.

'To most people, holding high standards of personal achievement is considered only a good thing - yet the reality for many mid-life men is that pressures to achieve can cause unthinkable emotional and psychological pain.

In 21st Century Britain, the decline of typically male industry and a rise in family breakdown mean that all too many middle-aged men now believe that they fall short of the ‘gold standard’ of masculinity. They are neither the providers nor the protectors that traditional masculinity requires.'

'The 17 percent gender pay gap is almost entirely due to age, marriage and the different hours worked by men and women, according to a top economist at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) annual report on the “Highlights of Women’s Earnings” shows women’s in full-time work median earnings were 83 percent those of men.

The National Committee on Pay Equity claims this pay-gap emerges “in part because many women and people of color are still segregated into a few low-paying occupations.”

But AEI economist Mark Perry says one reason the wage-gap appears is that men work more hours than women. More than quarter of men in full-time work clocked in 41 or more hours per week in 2014, whereas the same could be said for only 14.8 percent of women. On the more extreme end, men were two and a half times more likely than women to work 60 hour weeks.'

'Unless New Jersey colleges and universities implement a yes-means-yes policy governing sexual conduct they could lose certain state funds under a bill being considered by lawmakers.

The state Senate Higher Education Committee is scheduled to review the legislation on Monday.

The proposal makes New Jersey among the latest states moving to require college campuses to define when "yes means yes" in an effort to stem the tide of sexual assaults.

The bill would withhold state funds from colleges and universities for certain programs unless they adopt a so-called affirmative consent standard.

Some critics of the policy change say it could be unfair to victims who have protections under Title IX, the law dealing with sexual discrimination.'

'About a dozen UC Berkeley students and members of the group "By Any Means Necessary" loudly protested outside a hearing was to determine whether a student they say raped a co-ed last year should be punished.

The protesters want him expelled.

"We're building a student-lead independent movement to put the pressure not just on the administration, but on the rapist, and force them out and expel them. So survivors can go to college campuses without having fear about running into the rapist," said Angela Dancev of By Any Means Necessary.

Student Stephanie Garcia has publicly claimed the student raped her in a dorm room in October of 2014. Her supporters have posted flyers all over campus with the title rapist above the student's name and picture.

But the Alameda County District Attorney's office says it reviewed the case and declined to press any charges.

The university says the student was last enrolled in the fall of 2014, but that it is prohibited by law from commenting further.'
