'New research by the Australian Catholic University (ACU) of ABS Labour Force data has revealed that for the last 20 years as few as one in five Australian primary school teachers have been male.
The ACU reviewed the country's most populous states and found that in 2014:

16 per cent of NSW primary school teachers were men
18 per cent of Victorian primary school teachers were men
15 per cent of Queensland primary school teachers were men.
...
Professor Aspland, executive dean of education and arts at ACU, said addressing the gender imbalance among Australian primary school teachers was long overdue.

"It is widely recognised that male teachers can play a positive role in school communities,” Aspland said.
 
“Studies by Australian researchers indicate that both boys and girls benefit with male teachers acting as strong role models and even father figures.”'

'In 2007, the University of Delaware proved that it had no need for a “Path to Prominence” in one area: it was already a national leader in the forced indoctrination and brainwashing of students.

The Office of Residence Life was running what the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) called a “shocking program of ideological reeducation.” As FIRE described it, “the Orwellian program requires the approximately 7,000 students in Delaware’s residence halls to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism.”

By the simplest of definitions, I’m a feminist. I’m for the equal rights of all genders, races, religions, sexual-preferences, etc. However, as of late, I refuse to call myself a feminist.

'On the back of her newly found fame, so-called ‘feminazi’ lawyer Charlotte Proudman has attacked a leading Supreme Court judge as “sexist” and demanded positive discrimination and special treatment for women in a column for The Guardian, as “only quotas can challenge male privilege.”

Proudman is the barrister and social justice warrior who hit the headlines a couple of weeks ago when she attempted to destroy the career of a fellow lawyer who paid her a modest compliment on a social networking site.

Females now make up 62.3 per cent of law undergraduates, and 54.5 per cent of postgrad students. However, as is the pattern in other professions, such as medicine and politics, they constitute fewer of top positions (25 per cent of judges) because they make different decisions – choosing to work fewer hours and taking time out to have children.

'In her quest to achieve some semblance of justice in the world and in her own life, abuse survivor Rachael Kay Albers angrily sought refuge in feminism.

Until one day, she noticed an irony: In her aggressive approach to fighting for a more humane world, she was becoming like her abuser.

"I was becoming an angry, militant activist, simply participating in and replicating the greater cycle of violence," Kay Albers said. "As I began to recognize some of my own abuser's characteristics in myself, he turned from abuser to human. I started looking at these issues from a place of empathy and compassion."

Like many social problems, gender-based violence stems from myriad root causes. From child abuse to cultures of violence, the intersections highlight how the common 'oppressor versus oppressed' narrative fails to paint the full picture.'

'It appears to many — including me — as if the Obama administration is engaged in a war on college men. Using debunked statistics, the president, the vice president and various other political officials have falsely claimed that there’s an epidemic of rape on college campuses, even though campus rape is, in fact, falling, just as off-campus rape is. (And, in fact, rape is less common on campus than off).

And, ever since the Department of Education issued a ”Dear Colleague" letter to universities in 2011, in essence ordering them to adopt new and draconian campus “sexual assault” rules that treataccusations as presumptively true and force the accused — almost always men — to prove their innocence, sometimes even very strong evidence of innocence is ignored.

'“What do you do if you’re being sexually harassed in your office?” one user asked Monday morning on the anonymous Capitol Hill social-networking app Cloakroom.

It prompted one person, identifying himself as a 26-year-old male working for a 40-year-old female chief of staff, to share his own situation.

“She has slapped my ass, talked about her vibrator, and has asked me sexual questions. I have ignored them but I am thinking about going to the member,” he submitted to the online community, limited to users whose GPS location is within the Capitol complex, or those who register with a staff email address.

The thread drew 30 responses, ranging from vulgar to stoic. Some advised contacting the appropriate ethics committee to document the details or reaching out to the House Office of Employee Assistance for professional and emotional counseling. One warned the user to accept that reporting the harassment means, “You will need to accept that your career on the Hill will be over.”'

'Caroline Starmer was not assaulted by the security guard in much the same way as “Jackie” (the anonymous victim of the UVA campus rape story) was not raped as part of an initiation rite during a chapter house party, as actorvist Lena Dunham was not raped at Oberlin College by a Republican called Barry and, indeed, as Sulkowicz herself was almost certainly not raped at Columbia university.

What is it with these crazy chicks?

Well I think I know the answer and it’s one, I’m pretty sure, that all the crazy chicks out there are going to agree wholeheartedly: basically it’s all the fault of men.

'As someone who has worked on college campuses to educate men and women about sexual assault and consent, I have seen the barriers to raising awareness and changing attitudes. Chief among them, in my experience, is a sense of skepticism--especially among college-aged men--that sexual assault is even all that dire of a problem to begin with.

"1 in 4? 1 in 5? Come on, it can't be that high. That's just feminist propaganda!"

A lot of the statistics that get thrown around in this area (they seem to think) have more to do with politics and ideology than with careful, dispassionate science. So they often wave away the issue of sexual assault--and won't engage on issues like affirmative consent.

In my view, these are the men we really need to reach.

So enter the headline from last week's New York Times coverage of the latest college campus sexual assault survey:

"1 in 4 Women Experience Sex Assault on Campus."

Article here. Excerpt:

'A recent Association of American Universities Campus Climate Survey reported that one in four undergraduate female students have experienced unwanted sexual contact sometime during their college experience. Overall, the study reported that 23 percent of undergraduate women at the participating universities said they had been physically forced — or threatened with force — into nonconsensual sexual contact or incapacitated when it happened. That included activities ranging from sexual touching or kissing to actual sexual intercourse.

Kimberly C. Lau, a partner at the law firm of Warshaw Burstein in New York City, has spent years defending students accused of sexual misconduct in over 40 cases. She has represented both male and female students who have faced life-altering consequences of expulsion, suspension, and branding as a sexual offender for kissing, touching and even requesting too many social media connections.
...
Another private university found a male student responsible of sexual misconduct (stalking) for sending multiple Instagram follow requests to a female student's Instagram account, and for a single incident of staring at the female student on campus. The male student's disciplinary record now reflects "sexual misconduct" and he was suspended for one year.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

'An attorney for University of Dayton basketball player Dyshawn Pierre calls UD’s decision to suspend him for a semester following a sexual assault accusation that didn’t lead to criminal charges unfair, and says he will fight it.

“Ignoring that decision made by qualified professionals, the University of Dayton subjected Dyshawn to fundamentally defective and unfair university disciplinary procedures orchestrated to appease a broken Department of Education policy,” said a statement from New York attorney Peter Ginsberg.

“We will be challenging the university’s handling of this matter in the near future.”

Ginsberg’s statement released Wednesday evening followed exclusive reporting by this newspaper that Pierre is not enrolled this semester at UD after another student accused him of a sexual assault that he denies happened, and county prosecutors say lacks sufficient evidence to merit charges.'

'The story of Rita and Nate is fictional in just one sense. The couple authorized the illegal genital cutting of a daughter, not a son. In every other aspect, the dynamics of their story unfold daily for infant boys in the United States.

We stand alone as the only country in the world that routinely cuts the genitals of infant boys for non-religious reasons. This practice has spawned a multimillion-dollar industry centered upon the harvesting of foreskins (just “google”neonatal human dermal fibroblast). Doctors willing to profit justify the imposition of an elective, irreversible, painful, and risky procedure on the most private parts of infant boys who are unable to offer any semblance of consent.

If we had inherited the religious or cultural practices that celebrate the removal of a girl’s labia and/or clitoris, then the cutting of girls, the selling of their genital tissue, and an accompanying compendium of pseudo-scientific justification would be commonplace.'

'The University of Kansas must reinstate a student it expelled for derogatory tweets he posted about his ex-girlfriend, the Lawrence Journal-World reports.

The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that Navid Yeasin, who was expelled in 2013, couldn’t be held responsible under the university’s code of student conduct because there was “no proof in the record that Yeasin posted the tweets while he was on campus,” and the code governs only behavior on the campus or at university-sponsored events.'
