'A 43-year-old Monmouth County woman was arrested after police said she called 9-1-1 and lied about being assaulted by her boyfriend, according to a report on NJHerald.com.

Laurie Vandeusen of Manalapan called 9-1-1 at about 2:40 a.m. Friday and told the dispatcher that her boyfriend had punched and kicked her, causing her to fall out of a moving car, the report said.

When Hackettstown police arrived at Route 604 and Bilsby Road, Vandeusen was alone and gave them a different name. An investigation revealed that she had $7,000 in outstanding warrants out of several towns in Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.

Police charged her with falsely calling 9-1-1, obstructing and hindering. She was sent to the Warren County jail after she couldn't post $1,000 bail.'

'In recent years, family court proceedings like divorces and custody disputes have grown increasingly complicated and nuanced, as gender roles shift at work and at home.

Cordell & Cordell, a national firm that expanded to Birmingham in May, focuses primarily on helping men navigate cases in family court.

The firm's attorneys provide information and counsel men as they deal with divorce and child custody issues because men have been at a disadvantage when it comes to domestic litigation, according to a news release.

Joseph Cordell, who founded the firm with his wife Yvonne, said there has been progress for men in family court, but "it's far from a level playing field."

Often, men are perceived in a certain light by judges, social workers and others involved in making decisions about a family, he said.

"The stakes are the highest that they'll ever be for these people," Cordell said. "Everything in this world that's of most importance to these two parties is on the table in this contest."

'While the majority of domestic violence victims are women, male-oriented abuse occurs more often than many think. Naturally, men are stronger than women but that does not necessarily make it easier for them to have their way all the time.

According to a 2010 National Survey by the Centres for Disease Control and U.S Department of Justice, in the last 12 months, more men have been victims of intimate-partner physical violence than women.

The survey also indicates that men were also more often victims of psychological aggression. It is not also impossible that gender-biased individuals have overtime managed to sway society into believing that there are more female victims of domestic violence than men. Yet, men are being ignored and threatened by a double-edged sword; they are victimized by partners who also complain about being abused.

'PROVIDENCE — Governor Chafee has decided to let a bill allowing “father-daughter dances” — and other gender-specific school events — become law without his signature, despite calls from more than a dozen women’s groups for a veto.

The legislation, introduced by Sen. Hanna M. Gallo, D-Cranston, in the wake of last year’s uproar over a father-daughter dance in that city, would permit “father-daughter” or “mother-son” events as long as “reasonable comparable activities” are provided for students of the opposite sex.

Last year, the Cranston school superintendent reinforced a ban against gender-limited events after the Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on behalf of a single mother of a fourth grader at the Stadium Elementary School.'

'When most people think about the victims of sexual abuse they don't think of men. Do we have any idea of how many men in New Zealand are sexually abused?

We have no New Zealand statistics in relation to men and boys who are victims of sexual abuse or violence. Overseas stats suggest one in six boys will be sexually violated before their 16th birthday. Dr Tess Patterson at University of Otago has just recently started interviewing men we have been working with and hopefully next year we'll have New Zealand's first study.
...
There are many reasons males don't come forward, fear of being seen as weak or gay and the huge myth that if you are a male and have been sexually abused, you will go on to abuse. This is not said of female victims. For males to come forward we need to have safe places and more resources.

Are there other cultures that deal with sexual abuse better than our own?

In a word NO. This is a world-wide problem and denial seems to be the norm.'

'A 50-year-old Brooklyn man who fell to his death from atop a four-story building was lured onto the roof by two women who had promised him sex, police sources said Thursday.

Instead of showing Robert Reichl a good time, the women led him into a trap shortly after midnight on Wednesday — and stole $2,000 in cash he had been carrying.

Three toughs were waiting on the roof of the building on Fourth Ave. near 47th St. in Sunset Park, the sources said, and at some point the men attacked Reichl.

One of them, Ruben Santiago, sprayed Reichl in the face with a chemical spray believed to be mace that caused the victim to reel back, lose his balance and fall off the rooftop, the source said.'

'It has been frustrating to watch people and businesses condemn Rolling Stone magazine — where, to be clear, I personally have no editorial affiliations — for putting the Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar “Jahar” Tsarnaev, on the cover of the latest issue. Many are upset that Tsarnaev is on the cover at all, as well as with the “rock star”-style photo the magazine used. And some who have read the article by journalist Janet Reitman complain that the way Jahar is profiled makes him out to be a “victim.”

'Mangochi — Over 42,000 males in Malawi have undergone Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) since the campaign started last year, Malawi News Agency has learnt.

Speaking to Mana on Tuesday after a stakeholders meeting in Mangochi, Spokesperson in the Ministry of Health, Henry Chimbali said Malawi is expecting to have 2.1 million males who will have undergone Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) by 2016 noting that currently 42,000 males have already gone through the knife.

"Malawi as a country has 42,000 males circumcised already and it is expecting to have 2.1 million males voluntarily circumcised at the hospital by 2016 and that is encouraging," Chimbali said.
...
He however said it is encouraging to see many youths between the ages of 15 to 24 go for VMMC. He therefore encouraged men to go for VMMC which he said helps in reduction of HIV vulnerability rate by 60 percent.'

Again, the seemingly unstoppable perception that women are either categorically more likely to see things "a certain way" or be "fairer" than men in some context(s) just doesn't want to die, despite whatever evidence is produced routinely in any direction. It's like saying men categorically make better bricklayers; really, even if 99% of all bricklayers are men, is it correct to assume that they categorically are better at it? But when the Feminist Hooey Machine gets grist it can't process, you can fairly smell the smoke miles away. Latest is here. BTW, Corey is the DA who brought the Murder 2nd charge against George Zimmerman, which is why there's been so much buzz/criticism around her recently. People are criticizing her for various reasons, sometimes opposing, but everyone seems to agree on this: criticizing her. Excerpt:

'ELLENSBURG, Wash. — Kittitas County authorities say they will seek charges of false reporting against a woman who told deputies she was attacked by a stranger while was camping.

Sheriff’s detectives have determined the Cle Elum woman made up the story about being attacked while camping at French Cabin Creek campgrounds early Monday, according to a news release issued by the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said 25-year-old woman told them she had been assaulted by an unknown man while she was in her sleeping bag.

“The investigation took a turn when the detectives were unable to verify certain details or locate the witnesses the woman named. She also changed certain details when the detective attempted to clarify her story,” according to the news release.

Deputies said that during an interview Wednesday afternoon, the woman acknowledged that she had made up the entire story to cover a relationship.'

'To hear the critics tell it, President Obama wants to restrict free speech at college, interfere with campus dating and “de-eroticize” university life. The reasons can be found in a single line of the May letter from the Departments of Justice and Education to the University of Montana, Missoula—a campus long plagued by sexual assaults and shoddy sexual harassment prevention efforts.
...
According to Lucy France, general counsel of the University of Montana, that means you can report that the annoying boy who sits next to you in class is being creepy, but that doesn't mean the school will do anything about it. “The revisions currently being added to university policy,” she says, “aim only to clarify the procedures for filing harassment-related grievances, to establish protocol for adequately investigating and responding to allegations, and to train the school community in identifying and addressing sex discrimination and violence.”'
