'An English teacher allegedly told a 16-year-old pupil 'I bet you won't be able to keep up with me' before having sex with him in her car.
Emma Ager, 34, from Wales, is also reported to have told the boy that he would be 'a legend' amongst his friends following their trysts.
The relationship came to light after the boy's mother found out her son was getting inappropriate phone calls and texts from Miss Ager and contacted his school – but at the time she had no idea that their contact had become sexual.
Miss Ager is now up before a disciplinary hearing accused of unacceptable professional conduct and falling short of the standard expected of a registered teacher.'

'I wrote a while back that Obama Inc. will not be satisfied until it transforms the military into the same warped culture of the left. And that includes the usual “Men are Evil” courses transplanted from Berkeley to the Air Force Academy.
...
Courses on gender have nothing to do with preventing sexual assaults. To fight rape, you increase security and reporting. And you arrest rapists.
Fighting rape by teaching gender theory is like fighting armed robbery by teaching Communism.
...
"His spring class will offer an opportunity to examine violence committed by males, a topic that is often overlooked because “people in dominate groups have the luxury of having their identity remain invisible,” Kilmartin said."
Translating that from libspeak, no one ever talks about male violence because of the patriarchy. No one. Ever. You never see it in movies or on the news.'

'WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that federal law doesn’t require that a Native American girl be given back to her biological father, but also doesn’t clear her adoptive parents to immediately regain custody of the now 3-year-old child.
In a resolution that one justice said could compound “the anguish this case has caused,” the high court voted 5-4 to send the case back to courts in South Carolina to determine the final home for an adopted little girl named Veronica.

'Employers are avoiding liberal arts majors like the plague. As the Wall Street Journal has noted, recent college grads with English, philosophy and history majors face unemployment rates just below 10 percent.
But, wait. There’s more. Turns out, a person with a passable technical background can spend a few intensive, hands-on weeks in a boot camp learning how to write code. That person can then waltz directly into a well-paying gig in the tech industry.
Seattle-based Code Fellows, a company that specializes in computer-programming education, offers the boot camps in Ruby on Rails, an open-source web application framework.
Code Fellows is now rolling out a boot camp exclusively for women interested in breaking into the software industry.

'Port Elizabeth - Five boys died and one has been castrated in the Eastern Cape after illegal circumcisions, the provincial health department said on Friday.
“The Eastern Cape department of health is extremely concerned about the increasing number of young boys dying in the bush,” said spokesman Sizwe Kupelo.
“Over the past four days five boys have died in the bush. An autopsy conducted on three of them indicated they suffered from gangrene which resulted in renal failure.”
A 15-year-old boy also had to be castrated.

'The money cannot change what had happened to her son.
This was the reaction of the mother of a 9-year-old boy who had suffered a botched circumcision at the Vryheid Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal after the provincial health department was ordered to pay R2.2 million to the family this week.
...
On Tuesday, Judge Achmat Jappie of the Pietermaritzburg High Court ordered that the department pay the family R2.2 million within 14 days.
The mother said her son was finding it hard to deal with the incident and had “anger issues”.'

'A fundraising campaign to create a Canadian Centre for Men and Families kicks off Wednesday in Toronto with a lecture by a leading anthropologist of gender, in an effort to boost the political clout and intellectual credibility of men’s issues.
It is a controversial topic often associated with angry sexists. But Lionel Tiger, Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University in New Jersey — best known for coining the term “male bonding” — is neither angry nor sexist.'
...
For four decades, since the ascendance of feminism, society has “vilified” males, Prof. Tiger said, and “it has now got to the point where we see some real results,” such as large numbers of single mothers, and disproportionately female university campuses.'

"The Pentagon unveiled plans Tuesday for fully integrating women into front-line and special combat roles, including elite forces such as Army Rangers and Navy SEALs."
So ran the lead on the CNN story. And why are we doing this?
Did the young officers leading troops in battle in Afghanistan and Iraq, returning with casualties, say they needed women to enhance the fighting efficiency of their combat units and the survival rate of their soldiers?
Did men from the 101st and 82nd airborne, the Marines, the SEALs, and Delta Force petition the Joint Chiefs to put women alongside them in future engagements to make them an even superior force?
No. This decision to put women in combat represents a capitulation of the military brass, a surrender to the spirit of our age, the Pentagon's salute to feminist ideology.'

'20 JUNE 2013 | GENEVA - Physical or sexual violence is a public health problem that affects more than one third of all women globally, according to a new report released by WHO in partnership with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the South African Medical Research Council.
The report, Global and regional estimates of violence against women: Prevalence and health effects of intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence, represents the first systematic study of global data on the prevalence of violence against women – both by partners and non-partners. Some 35% of all women will experience either intimate partner or non-partner violence. The study finds that intimate partner violence is the most common type of violence against women, affecting 30% of women worldwide.'

Article here. Good they wrote this. But notice the problem of sexual assaults in the military only got press and serious attention from the brass when it was revealed as a problem for female service personnel. "It's not a problem unless it affects women/girls" seems to hold as always. Excerpt:
'Sexual assault has emerged as one of the defining issues for the military this year. Reports of assaults are up, as are questions about whether commanders have taken the problem seriously. Bills to toughen penalties and prosecution have been introduced in Congress.
But in a debate that has focused largely on women, this fact is often overlooked: the majority of service members who are sexually assaulted each year are men.
In its latest report on sexual assault, the Pentagon estimated that 26,000 service members experienced unwanted sexual contact in 2012, up from 19,000 in 2010. Of those cases, the Pentagon says, 53 percent involved attacks on men, mostly by other men.

'The local chapter of the Left Party, a socialist and feminist political party, in Sormland County Council, Sweden, is pushing to make standing while peeing illegal for men using the county council's public restrooms.
According to the Local, supporters of the proposal say sitting while urinating is more hygienic and promotes sanitary restroom habit for male users. It will help to eliminate the problem of puddles on the floor and spray stains on toilet seats. They also argue that urinating while sitting will help to promote male health because it allows men to empty their bladder more effectively. Sitting while urinating according to advocates will reduce prostate problems among men.'

'Some social scientists link the rise in female alcohol consumption to the changing role of women in society. Rick Grucza, an epidemiologist at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis who studies alcohol-use disorders, correlates women's drinking to the rise in female college attendance. Others suggest that many women continue unhealthy postcollege drinking patterns in male-dominated industries such as finance and technology. Still others find a link among women who step away from their careers to be at home. "The baby's crying, they're not getting paid, they're bored and anxious—and feel guilty that they're bored and anxious," says Mary Ellen Barnes, a psychologist in Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., who treats many female heavy drinkers. Drinking several tall glasses of wine can make those feelings recede—at least for a few hours.'

'Men are the reason why the world/society is so messed up. They are the default human being, and women are stuck with the label of some kind of new creature. Double standards are because of men. War is because of men. Insecure girls are because of men.
I’m only 19 years old and I already feel this deep hatred for men. Thankfully, I have never been raped or sexually abused. But have I feared for my life because of a man? Plenty of times. I can’t walk down the street alone without fearing for my life, fearing a man will jump out of the shadows and rape/kill me. I hate that men think they own us, and that WE owe them something.'
