'For one thing, because “ Women Do It Better Than Men.” This is the title of a leadership study published in 2012 by the Harvard Business Review. It scrutinized performance evaluations of 7,280 leaders and concluded that women outscored men in 12 of 16 competencies that are crucial to “outstanding leadership.”

And, while the study confirmed the long-held view that female leaders are, on average, more nurturing, it also found that women especially outscored men in “taking initiative,” “practicing selfdevelopment,” and “driving for results.” These aren’t characteristics usually ascribed to women.

More women should also be in charge, I believe, because it changes the way others think when they see a powerful woman chairing a Senate hearing or holding a press conference at a crime scene or leading a boardroom discussion.

Children, particularly, need to see women in charge so girls can aspire to these positions, and boys think it’s okay—and natural —for women to do so.'

'As elected state leaders deliberate on proposed legislation that would change how professionals work to address sexual assault and gender-based violence at our colleges and universities, it is critical for higher education professionals and victim advocates to raise our voices and ensure the safety and well-being of our students and campus communities.  In an open letter to elected leaders across the United States, NASPA and its joining associations and organizations share deep concern with bills pending before at least nine state legislatures:  Iowa, Virginia, Texas, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, South Carolina, and North Dakota.

In some states, proposed legislation would require colleges and universities to refer all reports of sexual assault the institution receives from victims to local law enforcement, essentially turning all reports of sexual assault to the university into a report to law enforcement. If enacted, state lawmakers would place campuses in conflict with certain provisions of federal laws, including Title IX, the Clery Act, and the Violence Against Women Act.  Mandatory referral requirements would obstruct a victims’ right to an equal educational environment by increasing the likelihood that victims who do not want to report to law enforcement will not report to anyone and thereby be unable to access their federally protected rights.  These bills would make it more difficult for victims to access the full range of reporting options guaranteed under federal law by restricting confidentiality in the reporting process, as well as perpetuating stereotypical and discriminatory attitudes towards victims.'

'Christopher Abernathy’s mom never believed her son raped and killed a 15-year-old girl back in 1984.

After he was convicted of Kristina Hickey’s murder, Abernathy’s mother, Ann Kolus, even bought a mobile home so she could stay close to him in prison. She visited her son almost every week until a few years ago — when financial problems forced her to sell the mobile home and move to southern Illinois.
...
Alvarez said laboratory tests cleared Abernathy.

“There is no DNA match that would link Mr. Abernathy to any piece of evidence in this case, and in our opinion today, the DNA evidence tends to exonerate him of this crime,” she said, adding that her office will now try to find the real killer.'

'"It is hard to overstate the importance of hiring a lawyer as soon as you find out that you are charged," said Justin Dillon, a partner at the law firm of Kaiser, LeGrand & Dillon PLLC, who represented the male student. "The creative ways that the colleges will think up to screw the student will blow your hair back."
...
Kaiser and Dillon spoke with Reason about some of the cases they have handled, trends in college sex disputes, and the desperate tactics some administrators have pulled to score convictions. Their perspective represents just one side of the story, of course—but it's a perspective deserving more attention than it has received in these days of heightened interest in the campus rape crisis. What's clear from talking to them is that the raging debate over the proper way for universities to deal with rape won't ever be settled until someone ill-treated by the bizarre process takes the issue to federal court.'

Article here. I think we're overdue for an organization called the Men's Anti-Defamation League", or "MADL", for short, as in: "MAD as helL from all the blanket insults and hateful generalizations." Excerpt:

'In a gender-equal world, there would be no prostitution, no rapes, no forced marriages, no forced childbirths, no sex slaves, no vulgar gender disparagements, no glass ceilings. In an equal world, men would not view male qualities as the norm and portray females as “other” or secondary.

The idea that men are helpless to women’s lures should not lead to men sticking cameras under women’s skirts. Women turn men on without even trying. If a woman sits stone-like, there is surely something she will do to arouse, even if it is only to take a breath. Men are programmed to find allure even when it is not intentioned.

'The number of suicides in the UK increased in 2013, with the male rate its highest since 2001 and middle-aged men most at risk, according to the latest data.

Figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show 6,233 people over the age of 15 killed themselves in 2013, 252 more than in 2012, which represents a 4% increase.

The UK suicide rate was 11.9 deaths per 100,000 people. The north-east had the highest rate in England at 13.8 deaths per 100,000, while London had the lowest with 7.9.

The male suicide rate has increased significantly since 2007, the ONS said, while female rates have stayed relatively constant and were consistently lower than those for men.

In 1981, 63% of UK suicides were male, but in 2013 the figure was 78%. The proportion of male to female deaths by suicide has increased steadily since 1981.'

So packs of rapist men are running wild all over college campuses, justifying a movement supporting female students keeping loaded guns in their rooms or maybe start packin' to keep the gangs of rabid drunken men that predate campuses openly looking for victims to catch off-guard from raping them in broad daylight? Bizarre. Excerpt:

'As gun rights advocates push to legalize firearms on college campuses, an argument is taking shape: Arming female students will help reduce sexual assaults.

Support for so-called campus carry laws had been hard to muster despite efforts by proponents to argue that armed students and faculty members could prevent mass shootings like the one at Virginia Tech in 2007. The carrying of concealed firearms on college campuses is banned in 41 states by law or by university policy. Carrying guns openly is generally not permitted.

'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.

Article here. If he weren't VAWA Joe giving lip service to feminism left and right, does anyone suppose Mr. Nuzzly-Paws would get a pass from feminist critics? 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:

'As Carter began speaking in the Roosevelt Room, Biden beckoned Stephanie Carter from across the room, then put both hands on her shoulders as her husband thanked Biden for presiding over the ceremony. Biden's hands lingered for roughly 20 seconds until he leaned in and whispered in her ear.

'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.'
