Story here. And what is America's Feminist Establishment blithering about? Getting randy undergrads to sign pre-hand-holding contracts of mutual consent. Isn't it ironic that for maybe all of you, you read this story first on a MRM web site? Excerpt:
'Whatever the reason for living in this hellish place, all women are prohibited from going outside or travelling without a male relative. Islamic State imposes a strict dress code demanding all females from puberty upwards wear two gowns to hide their body shape, black gloves to cover their hands, and three veils so their faces cannot be seen, even in direct sunlight.
Women have been publicly buried alive in sand for breaking the code. One former Syrian schoolteacher trapped in the city told Channel 4 in a documentary, Escape From Isis, to be aired next week: ‘We have no freedom. We cannot go out on the balcony or look through the window. They will arrest a woman if she wears perfume or raises her voice. A woman’s voice cannot be heard.’

'An Augusta woman was arrested after she attacked her boyfriend for refusing to have sex with her.
Tabathia Lee Grooms, 35, came home around 11:30 p.m. on June 24 and attacked her boyfriend while he was sitting on the couch, according to a Richmond County Sheriff's Office incident report. She said she was angry that he refused her advances earlier that day, so she scratched him on the face, head and neck, then bit him on the arm. He ran into a bathroom and called 911.
When deputies responded to the house on Haynie Drive, Grooms would not give her name at first and threatened to run over a deputy with a baby stroller, according to the incident report. She admitted she had been drinking.
Grooms also punched her 66-year-old mother in the eye during the ordeal, according to the incident report.'

'A state attorney told the fathers of Mitchelle Blair's children they are just as responsible for the abuse, torture and death of the children whose bodies were found in March because they abandoned and deserted them.
Kelli Megyesi said Alexander Dorsey and Stephen Berry are "trying to pass the buck" for their roles in the tragedy.
Dorsey and Berry sat quietly during the tongue lashing from Megyesi during the conclusion Tuesday of a hearing about whether the parental rights should be terminated for Blair and the two men. All three are seeking rights over Blair's two surviving children, an 8-year-old boy and a 17-year-old daughter.
"They should feel guilty," she said. "They should feel culpable because they are."
...
Adam Devlin, Dorsey's attorney, said he reported in 2005 injuries to his daughter he suspected Blair of causing. Devlin said Dorsey also tried to see his children but was restricted by Blair to remain on the porch when he came to visit.

'Authorities in Texas are comparing a disturbing case of child abuse to that of treatment of prisoners of war.
KPRC in Houston reports Sandra Anna Gonzalez is accused of severely starving and beating two of her sons. She is charged with two counts of injury to a child.
The details came to light last year when an elementary school administrator reported the abuse to authorities after observing Gonzalez’s 10-year-old son with a black eye.
“The 10-year-old told the administrator that he did not want to go home because his mother was abusing him, according to court documents. School administrators immediately called authorities,” KPRC reports.
The boy told investigators his mother shot him and his brother with a BB gun.

'It makes economic sense to give the HPV vaccine to boys, say advocates who are stepping up pressure on the Ontario government to fully fund school immunization programs against the common sexually transmitted virus.
Despite the most recent public campaign to include boys as well as girls, the province's Ministry of Health is deferring the issue. The ministry says it's "reviewing" the current program to determine whether changes are required.
...
In a growing push to make the vaccine free for boys, several young gay men made themselves available to media cameras as they were vaccinated against the human papillomavirus last week at the Hassle Free Clinic in Toronto.
A ministry statement released last Wednesday referred to "economic and societal factors" as reasons the province is still considering whether to expand the program, without elaborating, beyond mentioning "cost effectiveness and impact on the health system.'

'NCEA is better suited to girls, two boys' school principals believe.
An analysis of NCEA results since 2004 shows the pass rate for boys at NCEA level 1 has increased by 21.3 percentage points to 81.1 per cent last year.
But girls are still doing better. Last year, 87 per cent of girls passed level 1.
A gender gap also persists at levels 2 and 3, and boys are falling even further behind girls when it comes to merit and excellence endorsements at these levels.
Only in scholarship examinations, where the country's very top pupils are assessed, boys are doing equally as well, if not better than girls.'

'After learning that on average women earn 77 to 78 cents for every dollar men make, a Brooklyn bar owner had an idea for how to close the gap, even if just for one night.
As a one-time offer on 7/7, Andy Heidel of The Way Station charged women only 77 percent of their total bar tabs to raise awareness and start a conversation about the disparity in wages between genders, The Guardian reports.
“I have three sisters. The majority of my staff and friends are women,” said Heidel. “I thought this would be a great way to even the playing field even if it was for one night only.”'

'Silicon Valley Business Journal just reported that “Ellen Pao is resigning from Reddit after eight months of drama as interim CEO.”
Having kept her Reddit position despite losing America’s highest profile sexual discrimination lawsuits against what she called Silicon Valley’s “boy’s club,” Pao was forced out for firing a popular female employee.
When the Ellen Pao five-week-long and very salacious San Francisco trial against the elite venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for alleged sexual discrimination went to the jury on March 26, most observers assumed it was a slam-dunk that the former junior partner would win a big chunk of her demand for $16 million to compensate for sexual discrimination and up to $144 million for punitive damages.

'Beltran-Sanchez and his colleagues began by examining common causes of death of people going back more than 200 years. They used data from the Human Mortality Database to find information about the deaths of people born between 1800 and 1935 in 13 countries across North America and Europe. Then they combined this with data from the World Health Organization’s Mortality Database to determine death rates by cause.
...
While these numbers are small, they add up over time - for people born between 1900 and 1935, men were two to three times more likely to die in their 50s and 60s than were their female counterparts, the researchers wrote. This gender imbalance, which Beltran-Sanchez refers to as “excess male mortality,” is caused primarily by cardiovascular disease and smoking-related deaths, he said.
In the first part of the 20th century, smoking was much more common among men than women, Beltran-Sanchez said.'

'Bono has a lot of fans. They adore him. They love every part of him. It’s likely the U2 front man has grown accustomed to constant adoration over the years. It’s also likely that he’s never received adoration quite as pointedly specific as that espoused by one lone protester standing outside Toronto’s Air Canada Centre this past Tuesday evening holding a sign that read: “We Support Bono’s Superb Irish Foreskin.”
That protester was Glen Callender, founder of the Foreskin Awareness Project. The Vancouverite has been standing outside of every Canadian date of U2’s current world tour to bring awareness to Bono’s public support of circumcision to prevent the spread of HIV in certain countries in Africa.

One user said the Greens are now “the most sexist political party in the UK”:
"The Greens really are now the most sexist political party in the UK. They only want men to go to prison, men appear to be completely sidelined in the party (despite them claiming to have equality when it comes to the leadership and deputy leader position).
Can you name a current Green Party figure who isn’t female? When did you last see a male from the party sent to be their representative on TV or speaking at one of their press conferences?
Looking at Bennett’s background we see she worked for the extremist feminist organisation the Fawcett Society and therefore it’s no surprise she comes out with sexist rubbish such as this. No wonder so few males vote for the party."'

'Colleges and universities are increasingly looking to outside judges to help adjudicate accusations of campus sexual assault.
Under pressure from the Obama administration, schools in recent years have been adjudicating accusations of sexual assault. The results have been a disaster.
First, accusers insisted that the process was rigged against them, and that facing the accused was too traumatic. So the Department of Education mandated the "preponderance of evidence" standard and "strongly discouraged" schools from allowing cross-examination. It also provided no due process rights to accused students.
This, along with threats of lost funding, encouraged schools to expel more accused students based on nothing more than accusations. Accused and expelled students began fighting back. But they didn't get the support and media attention accusers enjoyed.'

'Due process on college campuses has become passé, and even an impediment to justice — at least according to sexual assault activists. But police officers like Susan Riseling may be giving activists a leg up.
Riseling is the chief of police and associate vice chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and recently told a conference audience that using the records from campus sexual assault hearings could be beneficial to police investigations.
"It's Title IX, not Miranda," Riseling said. "Use what you can."
...
K.C. Johnson, who co-wrote the book on the Duke Lacrosse hoax, took Riseling's comment to be an "explicit celebration" of the evisceration of due process.
