'A newly amended bill from a California lawmaker would require college students to stop in the heat of passion and establish verbal or written consent before having sex anywhere on campus, reports L.A. Weekly.

SB 967, amended last week by state Sen. Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), would mandate that college students obtain "an affirmative, unambiguous, and conscious decision by each participant to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity."
...
According to the language of the bill, "consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual encounter, and can be revoked at any time. The existence of a dating relationship between the persons involved, or the fact of past sexual relations between them, should never by itself be assumed to be an indicator of consent."

Despite the bill's noble intentions, not everyone is sold on the proposed legislation.

'A former teacher says a 16-year-old student wore her down in his pursuit to have sex with her before she agreed to intercourse, a US court has been told.

Brianne Land Altice has been charged with three counts of first degree felony rape and one count of first degree felony forcible sodomy after being accused of having sexual relationship with a male student at Davis High School in Utah, the Salt Lake City Tribune reports.

Altice's lawyer, Edward Brass, asked for all charges to be dismissed in a submission to the 2nd District Court, stating in court papers that the student was the aggressor in the relationship and his "ultimate goal" was to have sex with the 34-year-old English teacher.

"She repeatedly refused and declined his advances until he ultimately broke down her resistance," Mr Brass wrote.

"… the state failed to establish probable cause to believe that the intercourse that occurred was without consent."

'A 15-year-old girl has been given a caution for wasting police time after falsely claiming she was raped.

Police launched an investigation following an allegation of a sexual assault on a teenager in the Greenmoor Road/Aviemore Close area of Nuneaton on May 12.

Today Warwickshire police said officers had established that it was a false report.

Detective Sergeant Bob Jamieson said: “The girl who made the report did so because of some personal issues in her life, for which she is now receiving appropriate support from relevant agencies.

“However, because of the amount of police time and resources spent on investigating this matter, she has also been punished by way of a youth caution for the offence of wasting police time."'

'Shailene Woodley, who starred in the recent film "Divergent," managed to take over from Kirsten Dunst as the Hollywood feminism freak-out target of the hour, after Time magazine asked her if she considered herself to be a feminist:

"No because I love men, and I think the idea of ‘raise women to power, take the men away from the power’ is never going to work out because you need balance. With myself, I’m very in touch with my masculine side. And I’m 50 percent feminine and 50 percent masculine, same as I think a lot of us are. And I think that is important to note. And also I think that if men went down and women rose to power, that wouldn’t work either. We have to have a fine balance.

'Abortion-on-demand, free birth control, the word “bossy” — these are things American so-called feminists regard as the civil rights movement of our time. But if you step back from the world of outrage, get some perspective and see what women in other parts of the world face, you’ll see that those issues are more like first-world problems.

Manda Zand Ervin, an Iranian political refugee who founded the Alliance of Iranian Women, said she was “ashamed” of what women in America complain about when there are such greater risks to women in other countries.

“I mean, when I sit here and watch television and a bunch of women are screaming and yelling in front of the Supreme Court for free birth control pills - $9 a month - I feel ashamed,” Zand Ervin told the Washington Examiner. “I'm so embarrassed.”'

'Men’s rights activists have raised $25,000 to provide additional security for an upcoming conference because, “We’ve had ongoing problems with the feminist establishment, which is a multibillion-dollar hate industry, for years,” according to men’s rights blogger Dean Esmay.

The money will be used to hire seven off-duty police officers to provide security for the event. The hotel hosting the conference in Detroit, Michigan sent a letter to organizers requesting the additional security and expressed concerns about the safety of its employees and guests related to threats of violence. Police were contacted about the conference, but a spokesperson said they had not received “any word about threats.”

'WAUKESHA, Wis. (WLS) -- Police say two 12-year-old girls lured a friend into some woods in southeastern Wisconsin where one of them held her down as the other stabbed her 19 times.

The 12-year-old victim survived the attack on Saturday in Waukesha and police say her condition is stable.

On Saturday morning, a bicyclist discovered the 12-year-old girl who had been stabbed multiple times trying to make her way out of a wooded area in Waukesha. She had been lured there by two middle school classmates after a sleepover the night before. They were going to play games, Waukesha's police chief says, but the real intent was to kill.

'My recent article "Crying Rape: Is there really a rape epidemic? Probably not" generated a vicious reaction from left-leaning media and activists. In addition to being remarkably broad and at times dishonest, the tactics indicated that significant segments of the Left are not content to shout back at conservatives. They want to shout us down, to limit the honest discussion allowed regarding sexual violence.

As I stated in the article, I believe rape is a heinous, hideous crime and that a date-rape perpetrator “deserves the worst the law and life can throw at him.”

Now with that in mind, consider how David Brock’s Media Matters spun the story.

'A controversial men’s rights group is holding its first conference in Detroit, and its host hotel wants organizers to hire police officers as security because of death threats.

The Houston-based group A Voice for Men is hosting its International Conference on Men’s Issues June 27 and 28 at the Hilton Doubletree Guest Suites Fort Shelby on West Lafayette. Speakers will address what they say is prejudice against men, “antifeminism” and corruption of family courts.

More than 2,000 people have signed an online petition seeking to cancel the conference, and the hotel last week informed A Voice for Men that it needed to hire extra security.

“We have received numerous calls and threats and are concerned for the safety and well-being of our employees, our guests and your attendees,” hotel officials wrote in a letter dated Thursday to Paul Elam, A Voice for Men’s founder and publisher.

'Colleges are in an increasingly untenable position when it comes to the sexual autonomy of their students, and the house of cards is going to come crashing down sooner or later.

Last week, the California State Senate approved SB 967, a bill that would require colleges receiving state-funded student aid to use an “affirmative consent” standard in their sexual assault policies. According to a report by the Associated Press:

"Their policies must include an affirmative consent standard, which is defined as “an affirmative, unambiguous and conscious decision” by each party to engage in sexual activity. It also requires consent to be ongoing throughout a sexual activity."

So on the one hand, colleges and universities are being asked to closely monitor how students conduct their sex lives, sometimes to the point of ensuring not only that consent was present, but also that it was “affirmative and unambiguous” throughout the entire encounter. As the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times pointed out, “It seems extremely difficult and extraordinarily intrusive to micromanage sex so closely as to tell young people what steps they must take in the privacy of their own dorm rooms.”

'MARK COLVIN: There are claims that young men are turning away from teaching for fear of being falsely accused of child sex offences. The education union says it's been told that would-be male teachers are more reluctant to join the profession because of publicity over sex abuse in schools.

It follows the highly publicised Debelle inquiry which investigated the mishandling of a sex abuse inquiry at an Adelaide school. Meanwhile, male teacher numbers are continuing to fall.

Caroline Winter reports.

CAROLINE WINTER: The continual decline in male teachers in schools has been a serious issue nationally for some years. But the South Australian education union believes that trend has been exacerbated by false accusations of child sex offences.

'An act of retribution may have provoked a woman to brutally attack a third grader inside an Oakland elementary school bathroom, police say.

Students at Oakland’s Lafayette school knew something was wrong when they saw officers arrive at school Friday morning. They arrived to arrest Haseemah Diame, a parent and volunteer at the school.

Police say Diame walked onto the campus during recess armed with a hammer and pulled a 9-year-old girl aside.

“She was able to lure this other girl away from the play yard during recess into an adjacent bathroom there by the school. Once in the bathroom the adult proceeded to assault the girl with a hammer,” said school spokesman Troy Flint.

The attack was serious enough to draw blood.

“It’s very horrible because I wouldn’t want that happening to my kid,” said Antoniette Badio, a parent at the school.

'According to recent studies conducted by American researchers, men have lower principles of right and wrong compared to the fairer sex. Their research showed that men are very likely to compromise on their principles, resort to tactics that are ethically questionable, and tell bigger lies more often. Also, they have no qualms to compromise moral ethics in a bid to assert dominance to prove and defend their masculinity.

So, why do men have a fickle relationship with morality? Renowned Chennai-based psychologist Mini Rao explains, “Men are defined by their masculinity. And they take it way too seriously. ‘Be a man about it’ is a phrase that says it all. Their egos are far more fragile than women and they constantly need to prove they are right because it’s deeply etched in their minds that they can never be wrong.”

'However, there is another practice we are not currently discussing which also perpetuates inequality between men and women, and it is the opposite of 'mansplaining'; it is glossing over, it is keeping mum, it is censoring, it is male muting. It is when men do not correct women when they are wrong, whereas they would another man. It is when men do not call out women when they are bluffing or bullsh*ting something, whereas they would a man, without a second thought. It feels just as humiliating and just as degrading. A mansplainer assumes a woman knows less than he does. A male muter assumes a woman knows less than he does and thus feels no need to explain. Whereas the assumption for a mansplainer lies in a responsibility to explain something to the poor woman who just can't understand it, a male muter stays quiet because the poor woman probably won't understand it. It's nothing for her to worry her pretty little head about. Just as mainsplaining is subconscious, so too is male muting. It is not a conscious decision to stay quiet whereas one would not with a male, but occurs as a conditioned response.
