'You’d best get out your hip waders, folks – we’re about to wade through a steaming pile of government balderdash.

The controversy surrounds a storage shed built by the baseball booster club at Arbor View High School in Las Vegas. The youngsters needed a place to store their bats and balls and bases.

The boosters had wanted to build a clubhouse for the teenage ball players, but after months of delay they came up with an alternative plan.

One of the parents knew the owner of a company that made precast one-story buildings. The company offered to donate the manpower and materials to build the boys a shed.

Carl Pastrone, whose son is a pitcher and outfielder for the Arbor View Aggies, told me they pitched their plan to school administrators and were promptly given a green light. That was in 2014.

The storage shed was erected last September. Boosters installed doors and gave the shed a coat of paint – nothing elaborate.

“It cost the booster club zero,” Carl told me.

Androphobia

This is, in reality, what causes militant feminism. Androphobia, like its counter-illness, gynophobia, is a very real mental illness.

With militant feminism, we have a mental illness that is sanctioned by the federal government, perpetuated and exacerbated by the media and has its own organizations and even its own civil rights standards!

THIS is what militant feminism is, and that is ALL it is.

So now that we have identified the problem, what is the solution?

'Two Salisbury men accused of rape and assault are now free after being cleared of those charges.

The woman that initially came forward claiming to have been raped apparently admitted to making up those allegations. She is facing a potential charge of “making a false statement to police” and could receive up to a $500 and/or prison time.

But the fear, is that the damage is already done.

“It’s hard enough for them to come in,” says Lieutenant Brian Swafford with the Fruitland Police Department. “They feel like they're going to be judged or not going to be believed or it's going to be their fault. Sometimes there will be a third party that lets us know and we reach out and try to get their end of the story a lot of times they're reluctant to tell us everything.”
...
“This is also a person crying out for help,” he says. “There’s a reason why a person does this, so another interest to the state is trying to get that person some assistance as well.”'

'When men disagree with illiberal feminists, a favored silencing tactic is to accuse them of “mansplaining.” The term grew out of a fairly brilliant 2008 essay by feminist writer Rebecca Solnit, who described the exquisitely annoying feeling of having a certain type of man condescendingly lecture a woman on a topic about which he knows very little—in this case Solnit’s own book. This is certainly a phenomenon I and millions of other women have experienced, and it can be maddening. But the illiberal feminists have forged the notion of “mansplaining” into a weapon to silence any man who expresses an opinion at odds with feminist orthodoxy.
...
Illiberal feminists turn simple ideological disagreements, whether about the federal budget or the Second Amendment or anything else, into excuses to engage in character assassination, dismissing their opponents as sexists. Conservatives are their favorite targets, but any dissident can land in their crosshairs.'

'Grumblings that Hollywood is a man’s world have percolated for decades and are borne out in grim figures: Women directed only 4 percent of top-grossing films over the last dozen years. Now this apparent truism is being challenged as a violation of civil rights.

On Tuesday the American Civil Liberties Union asked state and federal agencies to investigate the hiring practices of major Hollywood studios, networks and talent agencies for what the organization described as rampant and intentional gender discrimination in recruiting and hiring female directors.

“Women directors aren’t working on an even playing field and aren’t getting a fair opportunity to succeed,” said Melissa Goodman, director of the L.G.B.T., Gender and Reproductive Justice Project at the A.C.L.U. of Southern California. “Gender discrimination is illegal. And, really, Hollywood doesn’t get this free pass when it comes to civil rights and gender discrimination.”'

'Conflict, consternation, and litigation has spread across college campuses ever since a 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter from the Obama administration’s Office of Civil Rights launched a vast expansion of the Title IX bureaucracy. This Nixon-era law originally focused on banning relics of the past, such as male-only vocational education, but later was expanded by federal bureaucrats to enforce gender equity in college athletics, leading to de facto quotas. Since then, it has accrued new powers not because new powers were conferred by an act of Congress, but because executive branch administrators decided to reinterpret this 43-year-old statute to advance their political agenda.

'Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, appearing at a Manhattan college with RepresentativeNancy Pelosi, on Monday called for the passage of “the toughest law in the nation” on campus sexual assault, a message aimed at state lawmakers who have expressed some reservations about his proposals.

Mr. Cuomo’s proposed policies, which are already in place at New York’s public colleges, would require private colleges to adopt “affirmative consent” as the standard of behavior, putting the burden on an accused student to show that the other person had agreed to the sexual activity, rather than making accusers prove that they had said no; silence or lack of resistance would not be considered consent.

'A former San Diego State University student who was accused — charges were later dismissed — of sexual assault on a student in December of last year plans to take legal action against San Diego State University over the university's handling of the complaint.

Francisco Paiva Sousa filed a claim with California State University's risk management department on April 30. The claim is the first step in a lawsuit. Sousa, a foreign student from Portugal, was arrested on suspicion of forced copulation and false imprisonment of a fellow student on December 9 of last year. Days later, the district attorney's office dismissed the charges.

But the damage, says Sousa, was already done. In the days after the female student made the allegations, San Diego State's Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities had refused to meet with Sousa and declined to see text messages and other evidence, which Sousa says would have proved his innocence.

'Just over two weeks ago, a law went into effect in Massachusetts that got little national press but will have potentially significant consequences for families: Businesses must now extend fathers eight weeks of unpaid paternity leave. Yes, the Family Medical Leave Act already does as much (it allows up to 12, in fact), but only if the father’s organization has 50 employees or more; with this new law, Massachusetts dads who work for companies with as few as six employees will be guaranteed eight weeks at home with their newborns.

'Reading Lisa Braver Moss and Rebecca Wald’s new book, Celebrating Brit Shalom, feels a little like stepping into the future. Depending on how you feel about ritual Jewish circumcision, this future will either come across as utopian or dystopian. I certainly fall into the former category and in the interests of full disclosure, I both contributed to the Kickstarter campaign that made this publication possible and consulted on an early draft of the book. Nevertheless, I had a number of lingering questions when the finished product arrived at my doorstep. What is this book? Who is it meant for? And most importantly, did they pull it off?

'Part one of a special six-part series.

Boys can no longer act like boys. The days of them exploring, experimenting and acting like young adventurers have been repleaced by more feminine activities. Young boys are also being medicated more when they don't actually need it. In fact, the majority of children being treated for ADHD are predominantly boys. So why is boyhood being drugged? Why are there so many gender disparities in education? What needs to be done to restore masculinity in boyhood? PJ Media's Dr. Helen Smith joins PJTV contributors Stephen Green, Scott Ott and Stephen Kruiser in this part one of this six part series hosted by Bill Whittle.'

'After writing my last blog, How We and Protein World Confuses Beauty with Fitness, I was contacted by a number of women saying how much they agreed. A number of them said to me "it's good to see a man who is a feminist". I told them all "I'm not a feminist, the post isn't about feminism and I don't agree with feminism". In my view, we are approaching the end of feminism.

'A former Brandeis student is suing the university after it gave him a disciplinary warning for violating its code of sexual misconduct. He’s claiming the investigation into the alleged misconduct deprived him of due process and the disciplinary warning jeopardizes his goal of attending law school and pursuing a career in public service and politics.

In his lawsuit, the student claims that by using a special examiner — a growing trend on college campuses — Brandeis deprived him of the most basic elements of fairness and due process. He says in the suit he never had an opportunity to confront his accuser, question witnesses or present a defense. He says he never knew what his accuser had said about him or what the factual basis for the charges against him were, and that he was never allowed to read the examiner’s report. He says it was only after the examiner found him responsible of the charges against him that he learned of the specific conduct he was alleged to have engaged in.'

'The Minneapolis City Council approved a new paid parental leave policy on Thursday. It was a unanimous vote to approve the policy that will allow employees to receive up to 120 hours of paid leave following childbirth or adoption.

“There are many reasons why paid parental leave makes sense,” Council President Barbara Johnson said in a news release. “Yes, it helps make employees better and more productive, and it also helps the City keep those skilled workers. But in the end, it’s what all employers should be offering their employees. Adding a member to a family is a big change, and parents need time to adjust for that.”'
