'Yet another reason to ban men.

A new study from the Indiana University Bloomington has found that working in male-dominated offices can do serious damage to female employees’ health.

In a large US survey, researchers studied the stress hormones of more than 440 women who worked in offices where at least 85% of the workforce were men.

They found that women working in these strongly male-dominated environments had unhealthier patterns of cortisol – the damaging stress hormone – than those who worked in more gender balanced offices.
...
Men, meanwhile, don’t exhibit the same disrupted cortisol levels as women in offices where there are 85% or more men.

The only logical solution? Kick all the men out of the office. Let’s woman it up.'

'You thought starting university was meant to be fun? Think again. A new league table, published in time for freshers’ week 2016, ranks universities on the basis of their local crime rate. The Complete University Guide has published the results, alongside a guide to ‘sexism on campus’, which gives students tips on how to scope out their university’s attitude to sexism and sexual harassment. But as the survey points out, official data for crime specifically against students is not available, so these figures are chosen because they relate to crimes ‘most likely to affect students’.

'Fraternities simply don’t fit into the mission of 21st century higher education. They represent a dominant and dangerous social culture that needs to be removed from universities.

We’re used to the headlines by now—stories of widespread abuse and bias that have no place on a modern campus. In leaked videos and emails, fraternity brothers across the country have been caught describing raping women or slinging racial slurs. Many researchers have found that fraternity members are more likely to commit rape than nonfraternity members. One study author has stated, “It is reasonable to conclude that fraternities turn men into guys more likely to rape.”

These toxic attitudes and behaviors don’t belong at the center of campus social life. I should note, however, that I’m generally not referring to minority fraternities, which typically don’t have houses and focus more on cultural networks.'

'Lib Dems have barred men from a “juggling politics and family life” training session at their annual conference.

The move has led to claims of sexism at the conference, which opens in Bournemouth on Saturday.

The conference fringe event is only open to women, sparking accusations that organisers do not respect men’s role in bringing up children.

The meeting is listed in the official directory saying: “Time management: getting the balance right between politics and the rest of your life (Women only) Ideas on how to successfully juggle politics and family life.”

One former candidate criticised the decision to exclude men. Mike Powell, who stood in the Pontypridd constituency at the last three general elections, said: “This is just as likely to affect men as it is women these days.

“My wife and I share the fun of looking after our four-year-old daughter - parenting is not just a female thing.”'

'You've seen the video, right? The one with the vicious, weasel-skunk-fox hybrid sticking its nose into bee-filled holes, gnawing on mice, tearing the heads off snakes, and shaking off venomous cobra bites, waking up after a few minutes to return to eating its attacker? You know, the one that ends with, "Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a shit"? If you're one the nearly 75 million people who've watched the YouTube sensation since it was posted in 2011, you may think you're familiar with this whole Honey Badger thing. You have no idea.

The women scattered across the U.S. and Canada who call themselves Honey Badgers have no true affiliation with the ferocious carnivorous mammals, nor with the viral nature mockumentary meme. They are, in fact, a group of concerned individuals who have banded together to stand up to a society that unfairly targets a segment of the population vulnerable simply because of its gender. That marginalized group? Men.'

'It could be the ultimate fraud. Across Britain, thousands of men are likely to be raising children that they have been tricked into believing are theirs, when they were really fathered by another man. And now one victim of paternity fraud is calling for it to be made a criminal offence after he spent six years bringing up a boy he thought was his son, only to find out that his wife had used the sperm from her ex-boyfriend at an IVF clinic.

The man sued her for the £60,000 he had handed over in child maintenance after they split up, but only gained a small amount of compensation, even though the judge said he had been a victim of “clear deceit and fraud”.

It sounds like an extreme and isolated case. But studies suggest somewhere between two and 10 per cent of men have been fooled into raising another man’s child.

'If you aren’t the daddy, is it your baby?

In March, a businessman in Britain sued his ex-wife, a similarly successful businesswoman, because she has fraudulently convinced him that his “son” was of his own DNA. Turns out, she had used a sperm donation from her former boyfriend to conceive the child during a time of “trouble” within her and the man’s marriage.

From birth, the man was convinced the child was his. (Obviously. Who thinks to DNA test your wife’s baby?) But, these hoes ain’t loyal.

The ex-boyfriend later told the court, “Her main objective was to have a baby but she wanted me to be the father.”'

'Skylar is a rambunctious toddler who runs and plays and giggles with her father, Chris Emanuel.

But she has no idea she sat at the heart of a massive custody battle with far-reaching implications for fathers' rights.

Emanuel, a 25-year-old from Aiken, South Carolina, met Skylar’s mother, whom he now refers to as simply “the egg donor,” through their work as fork lift drivers at a manufacturing company three years ago. He said they started off as friends before it escalated into something more.

“She wasn’t the ordinary girly girl. She was a girly girl but she could play pool. I could sit down and play pool with her,” he said. “She listened to the same music that I listened to but she rode horses. You know, it was different. I never met someone of that nature before but I definitely enjoyed the moments that we shared.”

'The Australian Rail Track Corporation has been given permission to hire only women for track maintenance roles across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.

Currently only 18 per cent of the ARTC's workforce is female and the company would like to increase that proportion to 30 per cent.

In the Hunter region, the figure is 12 per cent.

It has obtained permission from the Anti-Discrimination Board to specifically target women for some current vacancies, based in Muswellbrook, Scone, Maitland and Newcastle.

ARTC CEO John Fullerton said increasing workforce diversity is vital and will lead to greater innovation and creativity.

He said businesses like ARTC must 'lead from the front' to ensure change in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry.'

'Democrats in the Michigan state legislature are set to propose a “Yes Means Yes” bill this week.

State Senator Curtis Hertel Jr. and State Representative Tom Cochran said Tuesday they will propose the bill in an effort to combat sexual assault.

The legislation proposes additions to the state’s standard high school sexual education curriculum to teach the “yes means yes” concept of sexual consent.

If the bill is passed, the state’s curriculum will be changed to “teach pupils that in order for consent to be given by both parties to sexual activity it must be affirmative consent.”
...
“Affirmative consent is a dangerous policy and we [should] strongly oppose it,” stated Gina Lauterio, policy project director for Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE), in an email to Campus Reform.

“Yes means yes flips the burden of proof onto the accused student, who then must show how he or she received consent for each particular sexual activity.”'

'A University of Cincinnati senior football player who was suspended over what he says was a false sexual misconduct allegation filed a lawsuit against the school on Wednesday over its handling of the case.

This is the latest in several lawsuits filed by students against Ohio colleges and universities this year claiming that strict sexual misconduct policies are slanted in favor of female accusers. They claim the U.S. Department of Education’s crackdown on campus sexual assaults has forced schools to create unfair policies or risk losing federal funding.

“No student who has been accused of serious sexual misconduct at UC has ever been exonerated. You can’t win,” said Joshua Engel, an attorney for the football player, who is identified as John Doe in the lawsuit.

'A former San Diego State University student accused of sexual assault last December has announced plans to bring a lawsuit against the institution after charges were dropped and the student’s suspension was lifted.

Francisco Sousa, a transfer student from Portugal, faced charges of forcible oral copulation with force and false imprisonment with force before the District Attorney determined the charges could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt, according to an April report in the University’s newspaper the Daily Aztec.

Sousa has now said he will seek not only monetary damages from the University, but also an apology from officials for sending an all-campus email that informed the University community that he had been arrested 10 News reported. Sousa’s suspension was lifted when the university determined the sexual misconduct allegations were unsubstantiated.

'College Fix readers are undoubtedly aware of the Occidental College sexual-assault case, which we’ve covered several times as a prime example of the near-impossibility of male students defending themselves against accusations even when hard evidence is solidly in their favor.

Even when their accusers appear to have initiated sexual relations.

One due-process lawsuit and one Department of Education complaint later, the accused student “John Doe” has filed a second lawsuit against Occidental, this time claiming it discriminated against him based on his gender, City News Service reports:

`The current suit alleges Title IX violations and maintains Occidental’s discipline of Doe occurred in part because of “internal and external forces demanding Occidental find more male students responsible for sexually assaulting female students.”

'The barrister who exposed a senior lawyer who she accused of sending her sexist messages has previously commented on pictures of friends online, calling them 'sexy' and 'hot stuff'.

Charlotte Proudman, 27, posted screenshots on twitter of 'misogynistic' messages from Alexander Carter-Silk, a senior partner in a top London firm who she said had ‘objectified her’ on the professional networking site LinkedIn.

In a response to the married 57-year-old, which she also posted online, she said: "I am on linked-in for business purposes not to be approached about my physical appearance or to be objectified by sexist men."

The Daily Mail has now reported that Ms Proudman, who is also studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, has made several comments on pictures of both male and female friends in the past, praising their physical appearance.
