'The men's rights movement, a loose coalition of activists who largely gather online, is growing in size and support.

They advocate fathers' rights and speak out for male victims of abuse and domestic violence – so why have they been branded a "toxic" hate movement?
...
Men's rights activists (MRAs) argue that society is inherently "sexist" towards men and that they face daily discrimination from the government, the media and the justice system. They fight against custody laws they say overwhelmingly favour women, false rape allegations, violence against men, conscription and disproportionate male prison sentences.

"When women are underrepresented as CEOs of companies that is deemed discrimination," David Benatar, head of philosophy at the University of Cape Town told the BBC. "But when boys are falling behind at school, when 90 per cent of people in prison are male, there's never any thought given to whether men are discriminated against."'

'A pivot point occurred within feminism on the issue of rape in 1975 when the book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape by Susan Brownmiller appeared. In its pages, Brownmiller attempted to chart the history of rape from the Neanderthal through to modern man, placing great emphasis on periods of war and crisis. Against Our Will reportedly gave rape its history. It became a founding document of the "rape culture," which further propelled the feminist movement from liberalism to political correctness, which has also been called gender or radical feminism.

'National Parents Organization continues to make strides in the State of Colorado. Our Gilbert Tso once again testified before the Senate Education Committee in support of Senate Bill 15-077, also known as the Parents Bill of Rights. The bill was approved by the committee by a 5-4 party-line vote and has now passed the full Senate 18-16.

Here’s how Tso describes the bill:

"This bill was introduced and first read in the Senate Education Committee; its sponsors in both the Colorado Senate and House sought to remedy the growing intrusions by state agencies and schools into parents' fundamental right to raise their children according to their beliefs and principles, to opt-out of certain state-directed education, mental health-care and medical practices involving their children.

'An aggravated assault of a woman on campus has been determined to be false according to a university statement released today.

The female student reported the incident Wednesday and in follow up interviews with police, she said that she had not been on campus that day and the confrontation did not occur, according to the statement.

Capt. Mike McCord said police are currently investigating the information they have gathered.

According to the Texas Penal Code, making a false report is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to a $2,000 fine, confinement in jail for up to 180 days, or both.

The Shorthorn attempted to contact the female student, but received no response.

One certainly need not be a feminist to find such behavior from one of our elected officials objectionable, on top of his apparent inability to avoid offending any number of people because of their ethnicity. But this isn't Biden's first time he's pawed up some woman in front of a camera, apparently believing being VPOTUS gives him license. Grow up, Joe. Excerpt:

'I have three sons. One is in college, and one will be there in a few years. I worry about them.

I worry because it seems obvious that our universities have become a cesspool of leftist, feminist culture that is harmful and even possibly dangerous to young men.

Let me also say that rape is a heinous crime and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However, what happens when a girl decides she was raped after she said yes?
...
What are we teaching our young girls?

That it’s okay to lie when you feel guilty and wish you hadn’t done something? That men are the problem and young women have no personal responsibility? That women are inherently society’s victims and that lying about men is okay?

'Today a house committee considered a bill that would prohibit Medicaid from funding circumcisions of newborn baby boys.

Bedford Republican Keith Murphy sponsored this bill. He firmly believes circumcision is dangerous – potentially, very dangerous.

"One hundred and seventeen children a year, on average, die from circumcision complications. In fact it’s one of the leading causes of neonatal male deaths," says Murphy.
...
Ronald Goldman, Director of the Boston-based Circumcision Resource Center, painted a dark picture of circumcision’s impact on the male psyche.

"Anger, a sense of loss, sadness, and sexual anxieties....A recent study found a connection between circumcision and the risk of autism," said Goldman.
...
If passed, it’s worth noting this bill could impact a lot of people. The latest data from 2010 found Medicaid paid for nearly 30 percent of the babies born in New Hampshire.'

'Johnson is best known for his book analyzing the Duke lacrosse rape case with National Journal‘s Stuart Taylor, but you’d think he was Joe Pesci going up against a cartoonish Southern prosecutor to defend “two yoots” against Dixieland justice.

Two of the university’s student publications, The Post and The New Political, live-tweeted the circus around Johnson’s talk, including the heavy security presence.
...
"As Johnson approached the podium, members of Student Union and F*ckrapeculture stood from their seats and turned to the crowd of around 70 people in the Baker Center. They wore hand-made shirts saying “RAPE IS REAL, THIS IS BULLSH*T”, and some members held signs saying “SEX WITHOUT CONSENT IS ALWAYS RAPE” and “1 in 5 women will be SEXUALLY ASSAULTED during college”.

The protesters sat down after some members of the audience audibly complained that they could not see Johnson and after a warning of their removal by the police."

Johnson took it all in stride, telling The New Political after the lecture:

'Harvard Law School to the rape-hysteria rescue!

Or, more specifically, Harvard Law School professor Janet Halley, who’s been a leading protestor against the university’s new sexual harassment policy, which—like that of all too many colleges and universities these days—not only tilts the on-campus legal procedure against the accused but defines as harassment a range of classroom and out-of-classroom speech, from jokes to mere generalized references to sex, which means that anyone can be a victim who feels like a victim.
...
Paradoxically, Halley herself specializes in teaching gender and sex-related issues at the Harvard Law School. As a professor who knows whereof she writes, she probably has serious doubts about whether her fellow feminists in charge of enforcing Title IX will pay attention to her warnings. So far, they haven’t.'

'Nearly one-third of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania Law School have criticized a new university procedure for handling sexual assault cases that they say undermines traditional safeguards for the accused and could lead to wrongful disciplinary actions against Penn students.

The procedure, adopted under pressure from the Obama Administration, establishes a new position at Penn - the Sexual Violence Investigative Officer - and became effective Feb. 1. The policy weakens standards for finding that a sexual assault has occurred while offering the accused only limited rights to a defense, the law school critics say.

Given examples of high-profile sexual assault charges that have unraveled under close scrutiny, notably the gang rape allegation at the University of Virginia reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the university must take steps to ensure its procedure for adjudicating sexual assault cases is fair, the faculty members say.'

Johnson’s presentation, which is part of the George Washington Forum, will likely center around his core view that those accused of sexual assault on college campuses are not given the same rights of due process as those accused of other crimes.

'Plans by Staffordshire University students to launch a “Men’s Rights Society” are being blocked – by its rival “Woman’s Network” group!

Student Vajra Dhatu made the suggestion for the new society when he posted his idea on the Student Union “better Staffs forum” page.

But now members of the Woman’s Network group at the university in Stoke-on-Trent have taken action against the proposal.
...
She told StaffsLive: “If the Men’s Society is about ‘fathers for justice’ and issues treating men more fairly in court then that is fine.

“The statement written in the forum for the Men’s Rights Society was very male-centric and there was no mention of women.

“He was trying to raise the rights of men and lower the rights of females.

“It also talked about ‘the myth of the rape culture’, which is a very dangerous area to talk about.'

With the help of the Chicago Innocence Project, Williams’ attorney had submitted seven grounds of appeal. The court only ruled on the first one — that at least two jurors had visited the scene of the party and discussed what they saw with other jurors — grounds for a mistrial.

Now the question was whether prosecutors would retry the case. On June 16, D.A. Lee released a statement saying he was dropping charges because the victims did not want to endure the trauma of retestifying.

'Arizona

Check out this great picture of Tom Brady and his kids on the field in Glendale, Arizona after winning the Super Bowl. 

OK, OK, I’m from Boston and I love the Patriots and everyone else hates Brady and the Patriots, but seriously, as these photos and story make clear, Brady and his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan have put aside their differences and are a great model of shared parenting. Speaking of models, Brady’s wife, Gisele Bundchen, is a supermodel. She and Bridget have done a great job of cooperating to help make shared parenting possible for Brady and Moynahan’s son, John.

Alright, full disclosure, I guess it’s a lot easier to get shared parenting, and to do it, when you make something like $16 million and your wife earns three times that!'
