No mention of women who do likewise or that it's not out of the realm in the least that women post "selfies" much more often than men, and that if they do post "selfies", wouldn't that also suggest that they too are just one trivial slight away from opening up a can of whoop-a$$ on all in a$$-whooping range, too, or whatever happens to be their thing? What passes (or doesn't) at times for "scientific research" is truly barf-making. Excerpt:

'Men who regularly posted photos of themselves online scored higher on a measure for narcissism and psychopathy.

According to Medical News Today, a study out of Ohio State University has found that men who took “selfies” were more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits when compared to control group.

'A new anti-domestic violence program in Evanston finished its first session with 38 teenage boys graduating at the end of last month.

The Allied Against Violence Project is a joint program run by YWCA Evanston/North Shore and Youth Organizations Umbrella (Y.O.U.) with participants from Evanston Township High School, director Jacob Hostetter said. The purpose of the program, which meets after school twice a week, is to engage young men in conversation about unhealthy norms that can lead to domestic violence and sexual assault, Hostetter said.

“The goal of this is to create a space for these young men to develop their own definition, their own sense of what healthy masculinity looks like to them,” Hostetter said.

'A male Stanford University student says he initially wasn't believed when he told a sexual assault counselor that a female student had sexually assaulted him, he writes in a recent op-ed article in student newspaper The Stanford Daily.

Senior Justin Brown says that in October 2013 a female student sexually assaulted him after a drunken encounter at a party on campus. While Brown writes that sexual contact with the female student was initially welcome, including her putting her hand down his pants while they made out, he knew he "didn't want to end the night in her bed" and decided to help her back to her room because she was drunk.

Brown writes that he "felt stuck" while walking the female student home, as they repeatedly stopped to make out. According to Brown, these "stop-offs" became unwelcome, and he began to resist her advances:

'We can be rampantly promiscuous without being called ‘slags’ and we rarely have to worry about being groped on a packed bus. Nor, on the whole, are we expected to choose between raising children and pursuing a career.

But for all the advantages of being male, thunders Peter Lloyd in this angry, funny, provocative book, we are these days considered the ‘overrated, unfashionable gender’. Man-bashing, of which we are largely innocent victims, has become so lucrative that ‘people build entire careers on it’.

By ‘people’, it’s safe to assume he means the other gender. But Lloyd protects himself from charges of misogyny, using interviews with some clever, high-achieving women to construct a persuasive case, on the back of his opening three-word premise that ‘men are brilliant’, to suggest that our brilliance goes not merely unrewarded, but downright punished.

'Men's rights activists and the wider manosphere both venerate the alpha male, but a look at their websites shows that they're going for men and boys who feel unsuccessful at life, and, particularly, young people who feel sexually deprived.  In a recent post, Futrelle said:

"The anger of many younger MRAs seems to have a similar psychosexual source. These are the young men who rage against “friendzoning” and wax indignant about “false rape accusations” and “yes means yes.” In their mind, women are the “gatekeepers” of sex, and this frustrates and sometimes enrages them. ...
...
... Some, I suspect, think that there’s no way they can actually “get” sex without cutting a few corners, consent-wise, and resent feminists for making this harder for them."

... civil rights research group Southern Poverty Law Centre tracks some of them as misogynist hate sites. ...

'Last month, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced an ad campaign to improve “proper etiquette” on the NYC Subway. According to The Washington Free Beacon, $76,707 was spent on the following advertisements, which appeared in subway stations and cars:

The anti-pole-dancing ad is likely so ridiculous that the public has just ignored it. However, the bottom-right graphic has been gathering more and more attention throughout the campaign.

Some in support of the movement explain that man-spreading is an act of dominance and an exercise in male privilege.
...
The MTA has no intentions of arresting any man for man-spreading their legs and making room for their man-parts. But the campaign has not gone unnoticed, and has warranted a mixture of agreement, confusion and hilarious incredulity from New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike.'

'In a recent column about allegations leveled against Harvard Law professor emeritus and criminal defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz, Professor Tamara Tabo initially admonishes us to be skeptical about Jane Doe #3’s accusations. Tabo says pointedly – and I might add, accurately – that “the accuser should not be stigmatized for reporting the crime, but the accused should not be stigmatized before he has an opportunity to present evidence in his defense.” But Tabo doesn’t practice what she preaches.

First, she suggests that these accusations are credible because of the respectability of the lawyers representing Jane Doe #3; the author then describes Professor Cassell’s academic and professional credentials, including his service as a federal judge. I know both Professors Cassell and Dershowitz professionally and indeed, as friends. I respect them both. I have known Professor Dershowitz for forty years, as co-counsel and colleague, and Professor Cassell from when both of us were on the bench and since then in our work on federal sentencing.

'A federal proposal to encourage discussions about circumcision for baby boys and at-risk men of all ages has drawn nearly 2,000 mostly-negative comments and a planned protest in front of a federal agency this month.

The proposal from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t explicitly recommend circumcision, but it urges health care providers to proactively discuss the benefits and risks of circumcision with parents of baby boys and “uncircumcised at-risk heterosexual males” to allow people to make well-informed decisions about the procedure.
...
Other critics noted that circumcision is unlikely to dent HIV transmission in the U.S. since most HIV cases are among men who have sex with men. The CDC proposal recognized this, saying that the studies showing circumcision as an effective HIV-prevention strategy only involved men who had sex with women.

'Imagine the following situation: You’re a 76-year-old man, happily married for nearly 30 years, with three children and two grandchildren. You’ve recently retired after 50 years of teaching at Harvard Law School. You have an unblemished personal record, though your legal and political views are controversial. You wake up on the day before New Year’s Eve to learn that two lawyers have filed a legal document that, in passing, asserts that 15 years ago you had sex on numerous occasions and in numerous locations with an underage female.

The accusation doesn’t mention the alleged victim’s name—she’s referred to as Jane Doe #3, and the court document includes no affidavit by her. But her name doesn’t really matter, because you have never had sex with anyone other than your wife during the relevant time period. The accusations against you are totally false, and you can prove it.

Well, that is my situation: I’m the one who has been falsely accused. But let’s continue to imagine it was you:

Your first instinct is to call your lawyer and have him file a denial to the court in which the accusation was made. But your lawyer informs you that you can’t do that because you’re not a party to the lawsuit (against the United States government seeking to vacate the plea bargain your client struck seven years earlier) and have no standing to file any papers.
...
No, your lawyer tells you. They didn’t ask for a hearing or any other opportunity to prove the truth of what they alleged. So the accusation will remain on the public record without anyone having to prove it or you having any opportunity to disprove it.

'Brothers of the University of Virginia fraternity at the center of a now discredited Rolling Stone article about gang rape have spoken out for the first time to detail how they were forced into hiding after the story incited mass protests on campus.

The article about the issue of sexual assault at UVA starts with the horrifying account of one student who claims to have been gang-raped by seven men in an apparent initiation ritual at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity two years ago.

But after several holes in the victim's story were brought to light, and a police investigation found no evidence the crime ever happened, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity was taken off suspension this week and are set to start their new remember recruitment - known as Rush - tonight.

Phi Psi president Stephen Scipione, a 21-year-old junior from Richmond, Virginia, spoke with the Washington Post and described the night in November when he and his brothers huddled around and read the damning article.
...
Just hours after the story came out, the Phi Psi house was gratified with statements like 'UVA Center for Rape Studies' and 'Suspend Us!' and the brothers say bricks were thrown through the windows.

Fearing their safety, most of them fled the house, booking hotel rooms.
...
The brothers checked old emails, bank accounts and other fraternity records and discovered that they did not hold a party at the house the weekend of September 28, 2012 - and that no one in their fraternity matched the description of the primary attacker, a junior who worked at the university pool.

They also staunchly denied the suggestion that the incident was an initiation ritual for new members, as details of the attack suggested.
