"New Day Midday looks at a female CEO that says white men can't be harassed." Video here. If you're using a non-Flash-supporting device, you can see the video on YouTube here. Also see this article. Excerpt:

'The female CEO of Archie Comics accused by five employees of being sexually inappropriate said she can’t possibly be guilty of harassment, since the people lodging complaints against her are all white men.

Nancy Silberkleit’s lawyer argues that a gender discrimination lawsuit filed against her earlier this year by a group of employees should be thrown out because white males aren’t members of “a protected class,” the New York Daily News reported.

Today is #Giving Tuesday, a day when persons donate to the causes they find worthy. We hope SAVE is on your list. Let's take a look at our recent accomplishments.

SAVE had some successful campaigns this year. After we visited KFC restaurants complaining about their Hot Shot Bite commercial, they were so embarrassed they removed the video from their own website.

After we asked that Asst. DA Mary Kellett be investigated for her handling of Vladek Filler's case in Maine, she was found guilty of prosecutor misconduct.

This year SAVE established the Center for Prosecutor Integrity. We hired four law student interns, and have established the first ever registry of prosecutor misconduct.

'A pioneering study has shown for the first time that the brains of men and women are wired up differently which could explain some of the stereotypical differences in male and female behaviour, scientists have said.

Researchers found that many of the connections in a typical male brain run between the front and the back of the same side of the brain, whereas in women the connections are more likely to run from side to side between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

This difference in the way the nerve connections in the brain are “hardwired” occurs during adolescence when many of the secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair in men and breasts in women develop under the influence of sex hormones, the study found.

Domestic violence is a problem throughout the world. A bill known as the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) has been introduced in Congress to combat domestic violence in other countries. But the bill is deeply flawed because it assumes that all abuse is male-on-female and ignores both men abused by women and LGBT victims. If the bill were to pass, large classes of victims would be silenced and denied access to services.

The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK) has looked at domestic violence in 85 countries around the world and that found men and women were equally likely to be abuse perpetrators in most cases. PASK also found that LGBT couples were at increased risk of domestic violence.

'If you are a man at a senior level in marketing, public relations or human resources, hang onto your job like grim death. You may not get another one.

These jobs are fast becoming women-only.

Companies that have blithely operated as a boy’s club at senior levels are coming under intense pressure to promote some women – but rather than doing the hard work to change blokey cultures, they are using a “quick and dirty” approach.
By hiring only women into the top roles in the traditionally female-dominated areas of marketing, HR and PR, they make an immediate impact on their gender balance performances.

You can understand why they are doing it, and achieving gender equity is complex and difficult stuff, but this approach is not helpful for a number of reasons.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Nearly every day, an article pops up on Twitter stating, “We need more women to become [fill in the blank].” From engineers to CEOs, writers to philosophers, women are told there is such-and-such a position they must fill in order to bring balance to the galaxy. To further this goal, Germany has created a new plan:
...
To put it simply: these articles argue that there are no differences between men and women as such. They believe men and women only differentiate on an individual basis. But if this is true, one shouldn’t need gender quotas to help promote a “missing” element.

Now, if women are truly being discriminated against, then this is a problem. If women were failing the bar exam because of a discriminatory system, or if a company refused to hire women CEO’s simply because of their gender, it would be a serious problem. But this seems better remedied on a case-by-case basis than through a statewide quota.

Article here. The story involves a pregnant woman who moved to New York from California and asked a New York judge to grant her sole custody of the child. The judge refused and sent the matter back to California, where custody of the child was given to the father. The woman who wrote the article claims this is taking fathers' rights "way too far, to the point of dangerousness." Excerpt:

'Here's one I haven't heard before: A woman gets pregnant in California by a famous athlete she is casually dating, decides to go to college in New York — tuition paid by the GI Bill — and after she moves there, before the baby is born, gets blasted by a New York judge for "her appropriation of the child while in utero," which the judge calls "irresponsible" and "reprehensible."

I understand that fathers have rights, and I'm all for that. But this ruling took those rights way too far, to the point of dangerousness. It treated a fetus as a child, for purposes of a custody battle. And in doing so, it threatened to limit the rights of a pregnant woman to move and travel.

'A male contraceptive pill has been the holy grail of fertility scientists, but one that has proved frustratingly elusive.

Compared with developing a female pill, designing a male version is a far more difficult process. Most approaches have relied on hormonal targets or rendering sperm dysfunctional. One major problem is ensuring that every one of the millions of sperm cells produced by a man is stopped from carrying out its job of fertilising the female egg, because it takes only one sperm to produce a baby.

The mice appeared normal and did not suffer any side-effects that would make such a treatment unthinkable for humans. They were also able to father normal offspring, after having sperm extracted from their testes and injected into female eggs.

Adrenoceptor-blocking drugs are already in widespread use as treatments for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) – non-cancerous prostate enlargement – and high blood pressure, the researchers pointed out.

'I feel exceedingly intimidated stepping onto the tintack-strewn floor that is feminist debate in Cambridge today. This is not due to the complex nature of feminist issues, although that does of course raise a few challenges, but rather because of the hostility and anger which now surrounds them. Nevertheless, the perception of the CUSU Women’s Campaign amongst students raises important questions which need to be addressed. Barefoot, I will attempt to wander through.

'Technology is helping to boost the appeal of reading for young boys, and they're getting smarter because of it, new research has found.

Primary school-aged boys with little interest in reading are finding that using iPads and netbooks in the classroom adds a touch of competition and fun.

Massey University researcher Jenny Poskitt studied two year 4 classes and two year 5 and 6 classes in Palmerston North this year to measure pupils' reading comprehension when using technology.

She said boys aged 10 and 11 made gains in their reading ability of six times the nationally expected average when using the devices.'

'How does Steinem represent modern feminism’s worst features? Let me count the ways.

Dogmatic denial of sex differences.
...
In 1997, interviewed for John Stossel’s ABC News special, “Boys and Girls Are Different: Men, Women and the Sex Difference,” Steinem derided scientific research on sex differences in brain functioning as “anti-American crazy thinking.” She also suggested that upper-body strength tests requiring firefighters to lift heavy loads were sexist. What about situations when firefighters have to carry injured or unconscious people out of burning buildings? Steinem insisted, with a straight face, that it was better to drag them, since “there’s less smoke down there.” ...
...
Fixation on male villainy.
...
In her 1992 book, Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem, Steinem writes, “The most dangerous situation for a woman is not an unknown man in the street, or even the enemy in wartime, but a husband or lover in the isolation of their own home.” She has also touted the long-discredited notion of a long prehistoric period of peaceful, benevolent, egalitarian “gynocentric” societies later displaced by violent, oppressive male rule.

Junk scholarship.
...
Thus, in a 1993 speech at Salem State College, Steinem rehashed not only the matriarchy theory but the myth that the witch-hunts in Europe were an effort to exterminate still-existing pagan religion and killed as many as nine million women. She also spun a fanciful “revisionist” history of Joan of Arc as a pagan worshipper who led French armies to victory but was executed as a witch once the war was won because she had grown too powerful.

'OTTAWA — The government’s ability to help soldiers with mental illness came under scrutiny for a second day after three Canadian Forces members apparently committed suicide this week.

Opposition parties targeted the Conservative government in question period Friday over whether it’s doing enough to help struggling current and former soldiers.

NDP veterans affairs critic Peter Stoffer said he hopes the investigations into the deaths — launched as part of regular procedure — would be completed soon.

It can take up to five years to complete an investigation, although the military says results are often released after a year.
