From Intact America:

Earlier this month, more than fifty intactivists gathered outside Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio to protest its circumcision clamp study... and boy did we make an impact!

'Men have been asked to join in the fight against female genital mutilation ( FGM) to eliminate the vice in communities still practising it.

Abdi Omar of the Kenya Pastoralist Network for Children noted that children continue to suffer as a result of FGM and early marriage.

“Since almost all pastoral communities practise FGM, the government must prioritise its elimination to advance children’s rights to education, health and development,” said Mr Omar.
...
“It can be arrested if men say they are not going to marry circumcised girls anymore,” he said, adding that only 34 per cent of children in arid north- eastern areas are in school.'

'After investing as much as $250,000 in tuition, why would fathers watch proudly as their daughters graduate from college, and then expect them only to work for a year or two before exiting the workforce to raise a family?

Why would these same fathers feel that their daughters are not entitled, through hard work and accomplishment, to an equal opportunity of building a lucrative and rewarding career?

Why would the vast majority of husbands who have experienced economic downturns -- those who have suffered their own job loss or watched others struggle with unemployment -- discourage wives who want to work and believe that only one income is a wise long-term financial strategy?

Where are the men who feel that any company is justified to pay a young daughter less than her male counterpart for an entry-level job?

Which men think it's OK for their well-qualified wives to be passed over for a promotion or a raise because she's not one of the guys?

Some more suspicious people feel it is a code word for laziness for it often strikes people when they are confronted with the severtity of their work. It strikes women to men in a ratio of 6 to 1. First, I cannot help but think that if this "struck" men, we would be laughing stocks. Second, despite the fact that there are now seven national centers for women's diseases and none for men, that funding will be taken from men's disease research to research this. Finally, I cannot help but wonder if the suspicions are true: that some women in the traditionally male disciplines, just cannot hack it (not all, mind you, but some). For that is the news we would certainly here if the genders were reversed. Excerpt:

'Some 100 years after Emily Wilding Davison threw herself under a horse in the name of equality, isn't it perverse that those who would wish to subjugate me are the firebrand feminists who pit sister against sister, denying my view credence? How ironic, I thought, as I scrolled through my Twitter feed, that those who claim to champion women want to bully me for saying I don't believe in a cause they have bastardised.

As a university-educated woman who combines a fulfilling career as a journalist and broadcaster with my role as a homemaker for my husband and four children, I have better things to do than spend my days mirthlessly lamenting the lot of women, which is what most feminists seem to do.

Indeed, what the sour Lefty Twitterati won't admit is that all the great battles on which feminism was founded have been won - including political representation, and equality in education, the workplace and other areas of public life.

What's left is an ugly vacuum occupied by those who will only let you join the sisterhood if you agree to pander to a petty hunt for signs of oppression. Look no further than the campaign by The Women's Room, who railed against the Bank of England for the lack of women on our bank notes, citing this as evidence of discrimination.

Spectacularly pointless, surely? An emancipated, financially independent woman couldn't care less whether Jane Austen is emblazoned on a tenner. I don't: I just care that I'm being paid enough of them.
...
Today's feminists appear to be living behind a smoke screen of their own construction, blind to the reality of female achievement in the 21st century, when girls outperform boys at GCSE and in further education. Around 20 per cent more girls make it to university than boys.

Would there be a concerted push-back or a collective agreement that indeed, such was positively lewd? Well, we'll probably never know since the likelihood of school kids taking up the cause of testicular or prostate cancer research is pretty slim. After all-- men just ain't as important. Excerpt:

'TORONTO – This haunted house warns of "severed" male genitalia while encouraging women to flash theirs.

There is also a mock "ball-busting room."

'An English teacher at a reputable Utah high school is accused of having sex with at least one of her students.

Brianne Altice, 34, was arrested at her home Monday on two felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor, after a victim tipped Kaysville police off about their alleged months-long sexual relationship.

According to the Deseret News, the boy could accurately describe tattoos on Altice's body, and confirmed the layout of her South Weber home, where investigators allege the two had sex at least five times between January 2012 to October 2013.'

'MDC-T DEPUTY leader Thokozani Khupe has backed calls for men to consider circumcision to help curb new cervical cancer infections in the country.

Cervical cancer is caused by a sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV).

Khupe told Southern Eye that men need to seriously consider circumcision to not only prevent the spread of the HPV that causes cancer, but to help reduce new HIV infections.

“I am saying men should look at these issues seriously to save lives.

Khupe said statistics show that 1 200 women die annually from cervical cancer that affects a further 1 800 women in Zimbabwe.

“This is the reason why I am calling on men to undergo circumcision.'

'An Athens County Grand Jury declined to issue an indictment in an alleged rape case, which had gained national attention after it was filmed by passers-by at Ohio University.

The videos show a man apparently giving a woman oral sex during the Oct. 12 homecoming celebration. The woman was leaning against a wall at Chase Bank, 2 S. Court St, in clear view of the passing crowds.

No person involved in the incident is facing charges – not the man for the rape, the woman for false accusations, nor the bystanders for videotaping.

Prosecutor Keller Blackburn said the video showed the woman smiling during the incident. It also showed the man asking if he should stop and the woman telling him to continue.

The man and the woman went to the man’s apartment after the incident, Blackburn reported. They stayed there for three hours before he walked her home.

Blackburn said both people were surprised when they saw the video online.

'A woman wearing an ‘abusive wife’ costume was arrested for beating up her boyfriend in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday night.

Cristina Crespo, 26, and her unnamed boyfriend were participating in a Halloween pub crawl when they were spotted by police outside the Mojave Cantina at around 9pm.

Patrol officers stopped to check on Crespo, who was clearly intoxicated and lying on the sidewalk.
...
The officer then tracked down Crespo's boyfriend, who was dressed up as an ‘abused husband’ which entailed a stream of fake blood running from his nose.

The boyfriend confirmed to the officer that the couple had a designated driver, and he agreed to collect their things and leave.

As the officer exited the cantina, he heard shouting and went to investigate.

He found Crespo ‘screaming and repeatedly hitting the boyfriend with her purse’ and tried to intervene, but Crespo ‘continued to be loud and belligerent and was detained.’

'During Wednesday's congressional testimony, a heated exchange occurred between Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over one of the still-unexploded controversies in the ObamaCare law: the fact that ObamaCare's so-called "robust" coverage is in reality your government forcing you to pay for coverage that includes expensive services millions will never need. Ellmers called Sebelius out specifically for forcing men to buy maternity coverage.
...
Sebelius: The individual policies cover families. Men often do need maternity care for their spouses and for their families, yes.

Ellmers: A single make [sic, should read "male"], aged 32, does need maternity coverage. To the best of your knowledge, has a man ever delivered a baby?'

I would love to link to an article making similar commentary to that which we saw after the U.S. government narrowly avoided defaulting on its debts, but I'm afraid that I can't. At that time, there was commentary from Robert Redford, Kathleen Parker, the Huffington Post, and many others, all telling us that we had women to thank for saving us from a fiscal disaster caused by men. And, of course, this meant that we needed more women in positions of power.

Now, Healthcare.gov is a mess, and the rollout of Obamacare has been a debacle. The two people most responsible for this epic IT failure are Kathleen Sebelius and Marilyn Tavenner. But, has anyone put out the word that we need "men to save us from the disaster that women have caused"?

Oh, heck no! That would just be sexist, wouldn't it?

'The community outreach event was part of a movement to make men frontline fighters in the war to end violence against women. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and the P.E.A.C.E. Initiative partnered with Edgewood, whose board of trustees committed to the issue by signing a resolution against domestic violence. The message was that men and boys have options for expressing who they are. Those present also recited a pledge of nonviolence within the family.

“We want them to know they can lift their voice and make their presence felt without aggression and violence,” P.E.A.C.E. Initiative executive director Patricia Castillo said. “Three-quarters of the men in our community are doing the right thing. They're being good papis (dads). They're doing sacred, hard, good work. We want to say, 'Thank you,' but we also want to spread that message.”'

'With the rise of feminism in the late 20th century, many institutions in America are catering toward women and making it difficult for young boys to flourish. Our culture has placed high value on sensitivity and on being relational, and the standard of "model behavior" in grade schools is that of a well-mannered, quiet little girl.

Educators in primary school classrooms are typically female, and they often apply a universal standard for "good behavior" to their students. Traditional American pupils are expected to sit still for hours on end, to keep silent unless asking a question, and to keep on-task. Young boys - who are typically full of energy, like rough-and-tumble play, and like to work with their hands rather than sit still in a desk, are being disciplined for their behavior.'
