Public Outreach: The FBI has forged partnerships nationally and locally with many civil rights organizations to establish rapport, share information, address concerns, and cooperate in solving problems. These groups include such organizations as the NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium, the National Organization for Women, the Human Rights Campaign, and the National Disability Rights Network.

Real world effects of criminalizing maleness

Article here. Excerpt:

'Real world effect #1 – reluctance to help a child.

This has been seen before. When you have airlines refusing to seat a man next to an unaccompanied minor, and a man suspected of exploiting girls when photographing his daughters, is it any wonder men are reluctant to help a child in distress? ...

Real world effect #2 – men abandon teaching as a profession

John Bangs, assistant secretary of the National Union of Teachers, believes many men have been put off teaching in primary schools – often regarded as a woman’s job anyway – by an increasing vigilance over child abuse. “People have become much more suspicious of men who want to work with young children,” he says. “These perceptions are absurd, but men are reluctant to be stigmatized in this way.”
...
Real world effect #3 – men avoiding college

The college gender gap switched from male positive to female positive almost three decades ago. ...

With all of the rape culture hysteria and affirmative consent laws making college a hostile environment for men, I expect the gender gap to widen. Fewer men will subject themselves to the risk that comes from attending college while male. At least at liberal arts colleges, which are already skewed female more than the national average. STEM schools might still draw men, since those BS degrees can lead to some well-paid careers, and fewer women choose STEM careers.
...
Is the decline of men really a problem? Feminists think not. In fact, when these indicators of male decline are pointed out, feminists respond with “yeah, but men are still overrepresented in elected offices and corporate boardrooms.”. Apex fallacy. Because a small percentage of all men are in power, all men must be fine. It doesn’t matter to feminists that marriage and fertility are declining. In fact, they probably view that as a success metric.

Misandrist "joy" when men are maimed

See this story on Jezebel.com and especially the response of mirth and joy of the bloggers to a man horribly maimed by his wife. Excerpt:

'This right here is commitment: Feng Lung has been arrested for causing grievous bodily harm to her husband (and father of her five children) Fan Lung after she discovered that her man was sending "saucy texts" to his new lover from his wife's phone.So she cut off his dick. And then she cut it off again. And if she weren't arrested, it'd probably be off for a third time right about now.'

Victims Frantically Search For Offense

Article here. Excerpt:

'Microaggression. The word may soon be knocking on your door to demand supplication or another form of payment. Microaggression is the new politically correct campaign being launched by "disadvantaged" elites who are running out of even vaguely real transgressions to complain about.

What You Can Expect to Be Accused Of

Microaggression is unintended discrimination that demeans the "disadvantaged" even if the perpetrator does not intend to do so and is well-meaning. Coined in 1970 by Harvard psychiatrist Chester M. Pierce, it described unconscious racial insults delivered by whites to minorities. An example is a white teacher who asks a black student if he needs help with a math problem.

The concept includes micro-insults or insensitive communication such as asking an Asian coworker where she comes from; the question allegedly suggests she is a foreigner and not a true American. It also includes micro-invalidations that negate the feelings or reality of a black, such as speaking well of Southern cooking; the comment allegedly suggests an approval of past slavery. These behaviors lead to micro-inequities; the behaviors are conveyed through unconscious messages that allegedly devalue the "disadvantaged" in the subtle communication of facial expressions, gestures, tone, word choice, nuance and syntax.

In 1973, MIT economist Mary Rowe expanded Pierce's term to focus on discrimination against women. A classic example of microaggression against women is using the pronoun "he" to indicate people in general when it is also a gender-specific term. Merely substituting the pronoun "she," however, is microaggression as well because it sweeps the insult of the original situation under the rug.

SAVE: ‘One in Five, It’s a Lie:’ SAVE Launches Campaign to Restore Truth to Sexual Assault Debate

Press release here. Excerpt:

'Stop Abusive and Violent Environments is today launching a national campaign to expose common myths and false claims about campus sexual assault. The 12 myths, along with the factual information, can be viewed here: http://www.saveservices.org/sexual-assault/myths/

One of the most common is the “one in five” myth, the claim that one-fifth of college women experience sexual assault. But a recent Department of Justice report concluded the actual risk is 2.4% over the four-year college period.

Other myths include:

1. Only 2-8% of Rape Allegations are False
2. Our Nation Endorses a “Rape Culture”
3. Encouraging Women to Follow Common-Sense Rape Prevention Measures is “Blaming the Victim”

SAVE believes these myths, and the concerns they engendered, contributed to a cultural milieu in which the UVA-Rolling Stone magazine debacle took place last month.'

Support mandatory postnatal DNA testing

This article was brief and ended with: "Although mandatory paternity testing seems unlikely at this point, that may change in the future if the Man’s Rights Agency has it their way."

So guys, let's not get hooked on the peripheries but try to attack the core. A worldwide movement to make paternity tests mandatory can give us enough evidence to put our case strongly in favor of the men, especially in cases where they are made to pay child support even if the child is not theirs!

Well, the fact that women now have the right to control pregnancy does not mean we will accept anything she spits out of her belly. Even a small amendment to the law that can free the man of any financial obligation if proved that offspring is not his is more than enough for now. Logically, why should a man pay for the expense of a child who is not his? But yes, there should be a consideration that he can pay only if he wants to.

Are Men Really Urban Monsters?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Last month The New York Times ran a story with photos of men caught “manspreading.” Manspreading is defined as man who sits on a public bus, subway or park bench with his legs splayed open. Some men who do this take two seats on crowded public transportation. The Times said, “It is the bane of many female subway riders. It is a scourge tracked on blogs and on Twitter.”
...
Hmm, are the people coining and using these new words tacitly agreeing to the premise that some large percentage of men are guilty of talking down to women, shoving women out of the way on sidewalks, demeaning women by calling them “bossy” and refusing to give women space on crowded public transportation? Might this same logic then lead people to surmise that, by comparison, women much less often spread out over two seats on a bus or subway (or put their bags on the seat next to them), talk down to men (don’t these new words talk down to men?) and commit other microaggressive acts?

Sydney siege: Fred Nile says only man inside Lindt Cafe was gunman

This story appears today in News.com.au. For those of you who may not know we had a siege recently in a Sydney cafe, an ISIS-related gunman took people hostage, threatened them, and killed two people. During the start of the siege several people were able to escape before the gunman could lock down the shop entirely. And, of course, the men who did escape 'should have done more to protect the women', according to one Australian politician. Excerpt:

'Earlier, the Christian Democratic Party leader sparked outrage on Channel 7’s Sunrise by saying bravery awards were for people who put themselves in danger to help others, not those who found themselves in dangerous situations.
...
"Usually men try to protect the women but it looks like the men were trying to protect their own skins,” Mr Nile said on Sunrise this morning.

“Where were the men?

“The only man really there was the man with the gun.”'

UVA fraternity at the center of disputed Rolling Stone gang-rape story reinstated after police find no proof sexual assault happened

Story here. Excerpt:

'The University of Virginia fraternity hit with allegations of gang rape in a Rolling Stone article will not be kicked off campus following a police investigation which turned up no evidence of the alleged sexual assault.

Phi Kappa Psi was suspended in November, after Rolling Stone published a story featuring a UVA junior named 'Jackie' who claimed to have been brutally gang-raped by a group of men at the fraternity during her freshman year.

All fraternities and sororities at the Charlottesville, Virginia campus were temporarily suspended in the wake of the controversial article, which provoked protests on campus over the school's relaxed prosecution of sexual assault reports.'

UVA student leaders want secret trials for rape cases

Article here. Excerpt:

'Taking Action On Sexual Assault — A Student Perspective” is the title of a two-page document containing various recommendations to help combat the “sexual assault storm” at the University of Virginia.

“It is a problem among us, and a problem we must fix at personal and cultural levels,” the introduction says.

Indeed, the document has three sets of recommendations — nine for UVA’s Board of Visitors, and seven each for administration and students.

One of these (for the BOV) is something you might have come to expect: a requirement to take Women and Gender Studies courses.

"There is much to learn about our culture’s impact on and interaction with women. Assuring that each student engages with these ideas is an enabler of cultural change. The BOV can: budget increased support for the program, direct schools to create requirement."

University panel wants to change sexual-consent definition on the sly

Article here. Excerpt:

'A sexual-violence workgroup created by Syracuse University appears to recommend that the school adopt the affirmative-consent standard for rape, without acknowledging that it’s doing so.

It also pins much of the blame for sexual assault on the school’s Greek life, going so far as to recommend that Syracuse move its counseling center away from fraternities so alleged victims won’t feel unsafe.
...
The report shows its cards early, recommending Syracuse take a “victim/survivor advocacy” approach. The words “victim” and “survivor” are liberally sprinkled throughout the report, rather than the neutral “complainant” and “respondent” terms that are sometimes used to refer to the parties in an investigation.

Accused students should be afforded “due process,” the report says, but it otherwise puts them at a disadvantage, saying it’s “appropriate” to force them into no-contact orders, academic schedule adjustments, housing relocation and interim suspension, even when their accusers remain confidential.'

17-YO girl brutally beats 15-YO boy for passing gas near her, faces felony charges

Story here. Excerpt:

'The lawyer for a female South Richmond High School student accused of bashing a boy pupil with a metal stool after he allegedly passed gas near her, contended the boy had deliberately tried to embarrass her.

"My client was at her desk studying when a male student placed his buttocks directly in her face and humiliated her by performing a bodily function," said attorney Michael Harding. "The male student's behavior is totally unacceptable in our society."

Joquasha Rosado, 17, of Mariners Harbor, was arrested on felony and misdemeanor assault charges, stemming from the incident Monday at the Pleasant Plains school, which serves teens with special needs and disabilities, said authorities.

Ms. Rosado also punched the 15-year-old victim's head about 10 to 15 times while cursing and yelling at him, said police and a law enforcement source.

"Nearly One-Third Of College Men In Study Say They Would Commit Rape"

Article here. Looks like we have another flawed statistic that will be repeated constantly by feminists, law makers and those affiliated with the victim industry. Excerpt:

'Close to 1-in-3 collegiate males admitted in a recent study they would force a woman to sexual intercourse, but many would not consider that rape, Newsweek reports.

The survey found 31.7 percent of men said they would act on "intentions to force a woman to sexual intercourse" if they could get away with it, but just 13.6 percent said they had "intentions to rape a woman" if there weren't any consequences.

The authors of this study note the difference relies on whether or not they described what constitutes sexual assault, versus whether they simply called it rape. For this study, the researchers defined rape as "intercourse by use of force or threat of force against a victim's wishes."

Man-slamming: another reason to slam men

Article here. Excerpt:

'First it was the way we sit, now it's the way we walk. Radical feminists really don't like men very much, says Jake Wallis Simons

Let’s start with a self-evident truth: men can be annoying.

It’s not exactly a controversial statement. In fact, it is constantly reiterated by many women, with comments like “don’t be such a man”, and “men just don’t get it”.

To be honest, they’re probably right. I find many men irritating, and I’m a man.

One way in which men can be annoying, for example, is "man-slamming", which, according to New York magazine, happens when a woman doesn't get out of a man's way in the street.

Women can be annoying, too. Due to centuries of patriarchy, it is not acceptable for a man to say “don’t be such a women” or “women just don’t get it”. But what is true for one sex is true for the other: men and women are bound to annoy each other, because they are fundamentally different.
