'A full day of events addressing issues of sexual assault and domestic violence is planned for Thursday, June 25th, but the intended audience isn't the demographic most affected by those crimes.

Rather than focus on women for these events, the Sexual Assault Kit (SAK) Taskforce is inviting men to be guests at its quarterly "community conversation" event. That public forum will be immediately followed by the annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, where men are asked to don high heels for a one-mile awareness walk.

'As investigators in Pearland, Texas, try to connect the dots in the murder-suicide that claimed the life of former Mets outfielderDarryl Hamilton, new details are emerging about the woman police say shot him and then took her own life.

According to a report by the Houston Chronicle, Monica Jordan pleaded guilty in 2008 to felony arson after burning down a house in 2006 where she had been living with her husband at the time. There were reports she tried to spray him with gasoline before lighting the fire.

Jordan and Hamilton had a 14-month-old son together. He was found unharmed at the site of the murder-suicide.'

CDC Advocacy Update June 24, 2015

The line item for FY 2016 CDC prostate cancer funding of $13,205,000 is restored in both the House and Senate appropriations bills, as authored by their committees.   Since both the House and Senate committee bills restore funding, there will be no conference discussion, nor is it likely to be debated by the full House or Senate.  Only a new amendment by the full Senate committee actually directing the removal of prostate cancer funding could alter this outcome...that is unlikely.

'Every year, equal parenting advocates anticipate Fathers’ Day with a mixture of joy and alarm. The joy of course is because fathers across the country are acknowledged and valued for what they are — one of the two most important people in their children’s lives and vital to their well-being. The alarm comes from the sad fact that, every year, there are some who seize on Fathers’ Day as an excuse to denigrate fathers even more than usual.

'Testosterone has long been considered what makes men masculine. But is this common perception selling the hormone short? Dr Phillips investigates just how this molecule affects our abilities, behaviour and health.

"I've found I was less drawn by an attractive woman's body, but found that I could appreciate what people's expressions were more." Since being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Professor Wassersug has noticed both pros and cons to being testosterone-deprived. Evidence suggests that the hormone has a big influence on how our brain develops; it has the potential to affect behaviour, empathy-levels, language, and the way we build relationships. Because of this, regulating testosterone-levels may just hold the key to healthier and happier lives.'

'Earlier this month, Lauren Southern, a young Canadian reporter and a political-science student at the University of the Fraser Valley, caused a media storm when she challenged a ‘SlutWalk’ in Vancouver by holding up a placard which said ‘There is no rape culture in the West’. Last week, I talked to Southern about why she decided to speak out.

The protest Southern disrupted – she held up the placard and challenged the protesters’ views on camera – was linked to Women Against Violence Against Women, a rape-crisis centre set up in Vancouver in the Eighties, which follows a ‘feminist anti-oppression philosophy’ and claims that ‘rape culture is real and huge and everywhere’. SlutWalks began four years ago after a policeman in Toronto suggested that ‘women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimised’. In response, feminists took to the streets of Toronto in their underwear in protest at the cop’s ‘slut-shaming and victim-blaming’ statement. SlutWalks have since become popular across the globe, and are held annually in many cities.

'AEI resident scholar and former professor Christina Hoff Sommers has been lecturing on college campuses for more than twenty years. Recently, some students have conducted protests against speech they find objectionable. They've forced lecturers to cancel talks, have security protect the speakers, or even have universities launch investigations into the student complaints against their professors. Dr. Sommers takes a look at this recent wave of protests, and posits that the First Amendment is being replaced by a woman's right not to be made uncomfortable.'

'NBC's "Dateline" aired Sunday night with an episode about campus sexual assault and the alleged failings of colleges and universities in handling complaints.

But perhaps inadvertently, the program also highlighted the fact that colleges – no matter how much the media and politicians want them to – just can't adjudicate a sexual assault the way the police can.

And, like many attempts to discuss the issue of campus sexual assault, the episode's star victims told some questionable stories.'

'The free app has just launched in the UK, following success in the US (it had over 200,000 users after two months, and a 60 per cent retention rate).

Simply, it allows women to anonymously comment on the men they know and have dated. The app is designed exclusively for women so they can anonymously research any man they're interested in dating.

They can post photos of the men, write reviews and list the best and worst things about their character, style and sense of humour. You don't rate the men yourself (marks out of ten this is not), instead you take a multiple choice quiz and the app works out their score. The men are also assigned hashtags that reflect their best and worst qualities, such as #SweetToMom or #RudeToWaiters.

Gulp. Soon the straight, single men of the UK will be at the mercy of their old girlfriends.

'Megyn Kelly recently interviewed the attorney for "John Doe," a pseudonym for a young man who was charged with sexual assault when he was a sophomore at Amherst College by "Sandra Jones," another pseudonym. Evidently, colleges and universities now have panels or tribunals to judge charges of sexual assault. This began in 2011, when the Obama administration issued an edict claiming that one out of every five women in college has been sexually assaulted and warning that schools who didn't crack down and reduce the numbers of sexual assaults could lose federal funding. Colleges and universities rushed to set up panels and tribunals to "judge" these accusations in order to keep the cash flowing.

Now it appears that all any woman has to do is accuse a male of sexual misconduct of any type, and this tribunal process begins.  John Doe was a victim of this edict.

K.C. Johnson, author of Until Proven Innocent, in a interview with Megyn Kelly, had the following to say about the tribunal system:

`Once the complaint is filed, an investigator, who lacks subpoena power, interviews the accuser and the accused student; beyond that, the college promises only that the investigator will make a "good faith effort" to speak to relevant witnesses, and will "try" to obtain relevant physical or medical evidence. If the investigator's "good faith" effort doesn't track down relevant witnesses, the policy presumes that the accused student won't be able to call those witnesses before the hearing.

'Police in Australia deal with a domestic violence matter every two minutes, according to estimates, a disturbing reality authorities around the country are struggling to combat.

Queensland researchers are now looking across the world to South America, where a unique and cooperative approach has been achieving success under the radar.

Women-only police stations designed specifically to deal with domestic and sexual violence have been quietly running for decades across Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Peru with multi-agency and government cooperation.
...
Professor Carrington said that, as the name suggests, the stations are staffed by female police officers, psychologists and social workers.

"They don't look like police stations in that they are very brightly coloured, they have flowers [and] they are very inviting and welcoming," she said.'

'A Texas woman's plan to get attention in the wake of a racially-motivated church shooting in South Carolina backfired when people quickly figured out it was fake.

According to The Daily Dot, Texarkana, Texas, resident Ashley Casey Martin wrote on Facebook that she was "jumped by 3 African Americans ourside [sic] of the as [sic] Walmart" alongside some photos of her alleged injuries.

The photos didn't show injuries, but a laughably bad makeup job featuring what looks like black eyes literally drawn with black eyeshadow. Blood looks to be some sort of blush or red lipstick.

The Daily Dot contacted both the store and Texarkana Police Department public information officer Mike Jones who both said they had no reports of any incidents.
...
A friend later contacted the Texarkana Police Department to say that Martin is "emotionally disturbed."

'Male contraception is coming.

Vasalgel is a non-hormonal male contraceptive owned by the medical research organisation the Parsemus Foundation. It’s poised as the first FDA (Food and Drug Administration panel) approved male contraceptive since the condom.

What's more, it's estimated to hit the US market around 2018-2020 - and could change the way we view contraception for ever.
...
Research tells us that at least half of men would use it.

Vasalgel is essentially a polymer that’s injected under local anesthetic into the man’s sperm-carrying tubes, accessible through the scrotum — not in his penis or testicles as some authors have erred. It works by blocking sperm and is expected to be reversible through a second injection that dissolves the polymer.'

Officers responding to a disturbance call Sunday found Hamilton’s body near the front entrance. Monica Jordan, 44, was found dead in another part of the home.

Hamilton was shot more than once and Jordan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to investigators.'
