'Whoever said that becoming the story serves as the journalist’s worst nightmare forgot to tell the female reporters who turned a two- to three-minute delay in entering the locker room of the Jacksonville Jaguars into fifteen minutes of fame.

The reporters, participants in the Diversity Fellowship Program of the Associated Press Sports Editors (APSE), decried the delay allegedly brought on by a Lucas Oil Stadium usher uncertain if the men’s locker room remained off-limits to women.

'Cathy Young, a prominent writer critical of exaggerated campus rape statistics and radical feminism, elicited protests during a recent two-stop speaking tour at college campuses in Canada, which included having a fire alarm pulled during one of her speeches.

She and her hosts – the Canadian Association for Equality, or CAFE – were also called “rape apologist scum” by campus protesters and her speech at the University of Toronto on Sept. 24 was moved off campus after a comment urging violence against feminists was posted online.

“Amid an intense reaction to the threat, university administrators felt it was inadvisable to hold my event on campus; the venue was moved to a nearby hotel,” Young explainedin Newsday. “One student activist wrote on a Tumblr blog that ‘chasing these misogynists off campus is a victory.’”'

'That women, on average, earn less than men is true. That this is the result of discrimination seems not to be true. Rather, it appears to be down to the different different reactions of men and women to becoming a parent. Which, given that being a mammalian and viviparous species is pretty much central to the experience of being human means that the gender pay gap just might be one of those things not amenable to having a solution.

This is not to say that there aren’t examples out there of what economists do call “taste” discrimination. Nor that there weren’t very obvious, even extreme, more general examples of such discrimination surrounding women in the labor market in the past. But as far as we can work out now, about what is happening today, there’s just not much, if any, of the difference in average income between men and women that can be ascribed to such discrimination.'

'It could get a whole lot tougher for Marines to make it into more than two dozen ground combat jobs as Corps officials unveil new physical standards that troops must meet before shipping off to the fleet.

Marines who leave boot camp or Officer Candidates School hoping to join infantry, weapons, artillery and mechanized units will now face a host of new requirements before they can graduate from their military occupational specialty schoolhouses, Marine Corps Times has learned.

The new rules, which require Marines to prove they can accomplish some of the toughest tasks related to their jobs, are gender-neutral. That means all Marines — male or female — will have to meet the requirements before they're cleared for graduation.

The requirements affect Marines heading into 29 MOSs in the following fields: infantry; artillery; combat engineering; tanks and amphibious assault vehicles; ground ordnance; and some close-air support roles.'

'First, what’s so great about California’s new Fair Pay Act? Most important, it requires that employees receive equal pay for “substantially similar” work, even if their job titles aren’t actually the same as their colleagues’. This language is intended to cover more female workers and capture more subtle gradations of inequality than the truism of “equal pay for equal work,” which is enshrined in the federal Equal Pay Act. As DoubleX contributor Bryce Covert has written at ThinkProgress, there was a groundswell of support for the standard of “comparable” or “substantially similar” work in the 1980s. Twenty states adopted this kind of language—the movement that really spawned the idea of “pay equity”—and, as a result, “more than 335,000 women got a raise and 20 percent of their gender wage gap was eliminated,” Covert reports. Unfortunately, many of those statutes have since lapsed.

'The former star – now a local radio presenter – said his once charmed life turned into “a hell of a place to be” after he was linked to an attack on fellow presenter Ulrika Jonsson.

Ms Jonsson described being raped by a “fellow celebrity” in her autobiography.

It was alleged on television in 2002 that Leslie was responsible.

While no charges were brought over that allegation, the former This Morning host was arrested later that year and charged with unconnected indecent assault allegations.'

'Colleges must be terrifying places these days, with the supposed explosion of rape on campuses. Why would any parent pay $60,000 a year for private tuition if there truly is a “rape culture” on college campuses?

Also frightening: the response to this rape “epidemic” has led to an increasing number of students who are falsely accused of sexual assault and subjected to Star Chamber prosecutions on campus.

'A judge has been criticised after deciding not to imprison a 21-year-old babysitter who admitted sexual activity with the 11-year-old boy she was looking after.

Judge Tim Mousley QC gave Jade Hatt a suspended jail term for the offence, committed in November 2014 when she was 20.

Mousley said she was immature, while the boy was mature for his age, and he felt able to step outside normal sentencing guidelines.

He said: “Having read everything before me, it was quite clear he was a mature 11-year-old and you were an immature 20-year-old so that narrows the arithmetic age gap between you.”

The judge also took into account that the boy’s father spoke up for Hatt in court, claiming his son was “fully up for the experience”. However, the boy said he knew what had happened was wrong and he said he had not enjoyed it.'

'Cyber violence is just as damaging to women as physical violence, according to a new U.N. report, which warns women are growing even more vulnerable to cyber violence as more and more regions gain internet access.

The report calls itself a “wake-up call” about cyber violence as a systemic concern, especially as technology is spreading across more regions. Presented by U.N. Women and the U.N. Broadband Commission, the report estimates that 73% of women have endured cyber violence, and that women are 27 times more likely as men to be harassed online. In Europe, nine million girls have already experienced some kind of cyber violence by the time they’re 15. Anita Sarkeesian, a gamer and activist who has long agitated for more action against cyber violence, spoke at the launch of the new report, titled “Cyber Violence Against Women and Girls: A Worldwide Wake-Up Call.”'

'A campus crime report from the University of Miami has found that 1-in-5 reported rapes are "unfounded," a finding similar to that of a recent Harvard University report.

Colleges across the country are releasing campus crime statistics, and it turns out campus sexual assault might not be as rampant as recent "studies" claim. Even worse for advocates of draconian sexual assault policies that eviscerate due process is the notion that a good chunk of the accusations are false.

"Forcible sex offenses on campus went up from four in 2013 to five in 2014, with one case being reported as 'unfounded,'" reported the Miami Hurricane student newspaper. "Four of the five cases were reported in student residencies, where the one 'unfounded' case occurred."

One might notice that literally 1-in-5 reports were "unfounded," meaning there was no basis for the report, as there were only 5 reported rapes in 2014. That's far fewer than at Harvard, which saw 33 reported rapes.'

'Sunday night on SiriusXM Channel 125’s Breitbart News Sunday program, Breitbart Executive Chairman Steven K. Bannon interviewed Rebel Media videographer and Canadian Libertarian candidate for Parliament Lauren Southern about getting ejected from Saturday afternoon’s SlutWalk event in Los Angeles.

Southern and Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos were escorted by police from the so-called Amber Rose SlutWalk event, which drew a few hundred attendees to Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles to protest against “rape culture” and “slut-shaming.”

“Essentially, it started out after a cop in Toronto, Canada said that if women don’t want to get raped, they should dress less like sluts, which, to be fair, was an offensive comment,” Southern explained of the origins of the SlutWalk event. “But statistically, he’s not wrong, that when women do dress more scantily-clad, they are more likely to get raped, based on police statistics.”

'As the 2015 freshmen class navigates their first semester, sexual assault at our nation’s colleges and universities remains a topic of serious concern. The current system of investigating and adjudicating allegations of sexual assault on campus is broken. It does not serve the interests of students, schools or the public.

A recent poll by Penn Schoen Berland found that over 90 percent of likely voters believe that law enforcement — not colleges and universities — should be responsible for investigating and prosecuting allegations of sexual assault on campus. It is time to bring justice to campus, protect the rights of all students and student organizations, punish perpetrators and ensure a safe college experience for students.

'A former day care worker convicted of abducting a 5-year-old girl from her Philadelphia kindergarten classroom and sexually assaulting her has been sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.

Prosecutors believe 22-year-old Christina Regusters donned a Muslim dress and veil to impersonate the girl's mother and take her from the public school classroom in January 2013.

Regusters apologized Monday but said she is not a "monster." She says her only role was taking the child from school and leaving her half-naked the next morning at a playground.

The girl says, "I think what she did to me was wrong, and I think she shouldn't do it to anyone else." The Associated Press doesn't identify victims of sexual abuse.'

'“The battle over free speech is not partisan,” says a proud liberal whose organization helps a wide variety of clients facing free speech threats. He has spent fifteen years in the field as a fearless advocate who worked at the ACLU before coming to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE).

Greg Lukianoff, the President and CEO of FIRE, starts this 20 minute video interview for The Daily Caller by assessing global issues. “The international situation for freedom of speech is dire,” says Lukianoff, focusing on the emergence of blasphemy laws to not offend Islam.

This harks back to a previous Daily Caller interview with Steve Coughlin, author of “Catastrophic Failure,” who discussed the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Ten Year Program of Action to make Islamic speech codes the global speech standard. In America, this would entail making free speech conditional on not defaming Islam, a religion of less than 1 percent of the US population.'
