The slowly recovering U.S. job market has helped women rebound faster than men: They’ve now regained all the jobs they lost to the Great Recession. Men are still 2.1 million jobs short.

And the gender gap is expected to persist until the job market is much healthier.
...
Lower-wage industries, like retail, education, restaurants and hotels, have been hiring the fastest. Women are predominant in those areas. Men, by contrast, dominate sectors like construction and manufacturing, which have yet to recover millions of jobs lost in the recession.
...
Even though women’s employment has recovered faster than men’s, there are still more men with jobs than women. And more men than women have found work since the recession ended. Yet men still haven’t recovered all their losses because the cuts were so deep in sectors such as manufacturing and construction.'

This story has been mentioned before on MANN, but now it is discussed in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Feel free to post your thoughts on Yale's absurd policy. Excerpt:

'Port Wentworth Police want your help after a woman’s false report of rape costs thousands of dollars in manpower and leaves a scar in the community.

Police are actively looking for the woman who filed that claim.

They say it’s not just about the wasted manpower, that false rape claims trivialize the true victims of that crime.

The crime report happened in March.

Port Wentworth Police responded to a 911 call of rape at a home on south coastal highway.

There was a scene. The female caller said the perpetrator had just fled. But the dogs couldn’t find a scent.'

'Recently, the Wisconsin state Court of Appeals reversed a trial court's order. In the case of Belva Bowden vs. Amy Korslin, the result is that the court stopped child support payments from Bowden to Korslin, ordered Korslin to return payments she had already received, and upheld Bowden’s regular visitation with the child who is now a teenager.

Their daughter was born in 1998 while the women were in a long-term committed relationship. The couple split in 2006. They had agreed to share expenses of raising their daughter and to equal placement, but in 2008, Korslin sought to restrict their daughter’s time with Bowden. The Wood County judged had ruled that Bowden could have visitation — every other weekend and one weeknight every other week and during some holidays, but the judge would not grant 50% placement. In addition to this the judge ordered her to pay 17% of her gross income in child support to Korslin.

'An image of woman, apparently, pointing a gun at a toddler's head has gone viral, sparking outrage -- and questions.

Is the gun real? Is it a prank? And, most importantly, who is she?

Hoping to answer those questions -- and ascertain whether the pictured child is in danger -- an anti-domestic violence blog is widely publicizing the image.

"I was sent this picture today by a friend who was very distressed to see it on her page," an entry at No Longer Victims notes. "It apparently was posted to see if anybody could find the girl and if they cared well we do care and we have to find this baby as this scares the hell out of me."'

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Scottish teacher whose affair with an underage student led to her being placed on a sex offenders registry has moved the student into the home she previously shared with her husband.

Earlier this year, Eppie Sprung Dawson, 27, a teacher at St Joseph’s College in Dumfries, Scotland, was caught having sex with Matthew Robinson, a 17-year-old student.

The incident, which occurred after a high school dance at Christmastime, cost Dawson her job and marriage.

She narrowly avoided a prison sentence but was ordered to register as a sex offender, according to the Daily Record.

It must have been an affair to remember because Robinson, now 18, recently moved in with Dawson, after getting into an argument with his parents over an unwillingness to clean his room, according to his mother, Sheree Robinson.'

'The principal of Lee Elementary School in Paradise Hills was placed on leave following her weekend arrest on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs and a stolen gun, authorities reported today.

Rachel Yolanda Escobedo, 45, was arrested in the Rolando Park area on Saturday, according to San Diego police.
...
The patrolman spotted an open vodka bottle inside the vehicle and a small amount of what turned out to be marijuana in an ashtray, the lieutenant said.

After getting permission to search the car from Escobedo, who was in the driver's seat, the officer allegedly found a loaded .22-caliber pistol in the trunk, along with about two dozen prescription pills that appeared to be hydrocodone and four small baggies containing a white crystalline powder, Mayer said.

The apparent drugs were submitted for lab testing to positively identify them, he said, adding that a computer check showed that the handgun had been reported stolen.'

'Tuesday was a day to remember for two Chicago men who were released from prison after the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office dropped charges against them. The state’s attorney herself admitted it was time to right these legal wrongs.

58-year-old Carl Chatman was behind bars for 11 years accused of raping a woman in the Daley Center back in 2002. The facts of that case against him just didn’t add up and today, Chatman left the Dixon Correctional Center after more than a decade.

“God answered my dream today,” he said.'

'Over the past few decades, ‘gender violence’ has been defined as violence by men against women. Women’s violence against the male gender has been considered to be either non-existent, or the fault of men, or has been trivialised and justified in a variety of ways.

This interpretation further implies that women’s aggression is a reaction to men’s actions towards them, blaming the victim for his plight.

There are many factors contributing to this, but the most relevant and most important is the radical feminist philosophy which holds that the sexes are adversarially poised; that all forms of violence are derived from the power men have over women; and that men are a class of aggressors, from which arise individuals with greater or lesser aggressive capacity.
...
Hatred of men (misandry) and female aggression against males is a hard and indisputable reality, and it is no different from hatred of women (misogyny) and men’s aggression against females.

'After two years of allegations and a gruesome eight-day trial, Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell was finally exonerated from some of the worst crimes imaginable yesterday.

The jury at Manchester Crown Court took just five hours to clear the 48-year-old of twelve sex offences against a young girl, including five of rape.

The father-of-two had been left ‘fighting for his life’ in both a legal circus and a media scrum.

In his willingness to co-operate, he revealed his private self for public scrutiny: a ‘troubled man’ who chain-smoked, drank up to 12 pints a night, had a string of one-night stands and an affair with a younger woman while his wife had cancer treatment.

Like thousands of men all over the world, Le Vell’s life has already been destroyed by a system which considers men’s innocence a bonus - not a baseline. And it has to end.'

'What is "nonconsensual sex"? Rape, right? Not at Yale, where the term can be applied to a variety of acts generally accepted as minor offenses or non-offenses in the real world. Since 2010 Yale has become the national center of efforts to whittle away the due process rights of students accused of sexual assault in campus hearings. Those efforts, undertaken to appease "activists" who want more males convicted in campus proceedings, have included Orwellian word games to expand the definition of rape. One of the first signs that this was happening came in 2011, when Yale concluded that causing someone to worry could come under the heading of sexual assault. In a footnote in a lengthy 2012 report on this new process, issued by deputy provost Stephanie Spangler, Yale conceded that the university uses "a more expansive definition of sexual assault than is commonly understood." Indeed, claiming that a "worry" constitutes sexual assault is expansive indeed.

You may want your children to grow up blissfully free of societal expectations defined along a narrow, gender construct that perpetuates a traditionally reductive and patriarchal pedagogical narrative (hey look! I just learned to speak like a feminist! It's not that hard – just stop using your brain!). But here's the thing – there's a good chance your kids don't think like you do, and there's an even better chance that you're going to end up feeling very foolish indeed when you see nature take its course.

Last May, the Washington Post (WaPo) ran an editorial in support of the Battered Mothers Custody Conference (BMCC). You'd think they would have done a little research on the group before publishing that one-sided, gender-biased piece.

The 2005 Public Broadcasting System (PBS) documentary, "Breaking the Silence" was based on claims made at a BMCC. Thousands of viewers complained, and an investigation was done. PBS Ombudsman Ken Bode then stated, "I found the program to be so totally unbalanced as to fall outside the boundaries of PBS editorial standards on fairness and balance."
