"We know the statistics," said President Barack Obama, "that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves."

'THE Town Hall was bombarded with complaints after a “radical feminism” conference was held at the council-owned Camden Centre.

Radfem – some members of which are accused of arguing that men should form 10 per cent of the population, according to men’s rights activists – have been barred from holding their annual get-together in Camden venues in recent years.

Last year, Conway Hall in Holborn cancelled the booking because Radfem refused to allow entry to transgender women.

This year the London Irish Centre in Camden Square cancelled because they didn’t have the “manpower” to deal with the complaints they were receiving.

Radfem applied to use the Camden Centre, and the event went ahead on Saturday and Sunday.

'The number of women in employment since 2008 has increased by more than a quarter of a million, a 1.2pc net rise, while the number of men in work has dropped by 70,000, a 0.4pc net fall, a study of official labour market data has shown.

The analysis by The Jobs Economist, an employment consultancy which publishes the research today, claims the widespread assertion that women have been more adversely affected by austerity and job cuts than men is wrong.

Dr John Philpott, director of The Jobs Economist, said he can see no reason why the Government is focusing on trying to help get more women back to work when men appear to have been worst hit by job cuts.'

'Tessa Jowell MP has been accused of being sexist after claiming women are "much more driven than men".

She was speaking on BBC Radio 5 about the representation of women in Parliament when she made the comments.

"I think by and large women are much more driven to work together and to work through an issue to a solution."

Host Stephen Nolan took issue with Jowell by asking "And men can't?" before Jowell responded: "Much less, much, much less."

Nolan came back. "There is no way as a man I would get away on this radio station with saying men drive things through better. These blanket statements that you are able to get away with, it is inherently sexist."

But Jowell rejected his claim. "No it's not," she said. "It's not sexist. It's making a statement about the different ways in which the male MPs tend to work and the women MPs tend to work.'

'Women are far more likely to survive cancer than men are, research shows.

Nearly twice as many women as men are still alive at least ten years after being diagnosed.

This is largely because the most common form of cancer in women – breast cancer – is easier to treat than the most common form in men, prostate cancer.

Research by Macmillan Cancer Support shows that 260,000 women are still alive ten years after their cancer diagnosis, compared with 140,000 men.

The charity says this is partly because almost 80 per cent of the 50,000 women diagnosed annually with breast cancer can expect to live at least another decade.

In contrast, just over 65 per cent of the 41,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer will survive for this length of time.'

'Eighty-three percent of Title IX coordinators are female, the National Association of Scholars found in a sample study.
...
In short, the gender-equity enforcers seem to have gender-inequity problem when it comes to choosing staff members. Peter Wood explains why this could be a problem:

Considering that the overwhelming preponderance of sexual harassment allegations are directed by women at men, the disproportion of women to men in the positions charged with interpreting and enforcing the sexual harassment rules is a legitimate concern. Are male students who are accused of sexual harassment likely to receive fair-minded treatment in these offices? They already face a system of rules and definitions jerry-rigged by the Office of Civil Rights to deny them the presumption of innocence and to minimize due process guarantees.'

'A female teacher at "Horndog High" admitted Thursday to bedding a 16-year-old boy at the school but will get no jail time.

She will, however, have to surrender her teaching license.

In a plea-bargain agreement, Erin Sayar, 37, will serve 10 years' probation for having sex with Kevin Eng, whom she tutored at Brooklyn's James Madison High School. The sex occurred in classrooms and Sayar's car.

"The complainant and his family are amenable to the offer," Assistant District Attorney Serena Horowitz said in Brooklyn Supreme Court. "They stated to me that they don't want to see the defendant spend time in jail."

The tattooed teacher carried on the tryst with Eng in December 2011 and was exposed when his girlfriend snooped in his Facebook account and found he wrote to Sayar, "I love you so much."'

Tom Martin, who sparked a huge debate in 2012 by suing the London School of Economics for sexist anti-male teachings in its gender studies curriculum, has now turned his attention to documentary film-making, posting an advert calling for a range of paid researchers, presenters and crew, for a potentially controversial documentary to begin shooting in London this August, called "Laughing with Women" - involving a street experiment to investigate if gold-digging impairs women's joke-making abilities.

'(NEWSER) – With Father's Day near comes a debate about "forced fatherhood." The phrase refers to guys who get turned into fathers against their will through unplanned pregnancies, explains Laurie Shrage in the New York Times. Men in this situation "have few choices," she writes. It's ultimately the woman's call on whether to have the baby, but her decision could saddle the man with years of child support even though he had no intention of becoming a dad. It's time we gave men more "reproductive autonomy" by providing them with more options, writes Shrage. For example, maybe he contributes only to the medical expenses related to the pregnancy and birth, and the couple goes their separate ways.'

'But you know what? I’m sick of this argument, so I propose that feminists go ahead and embrace this “paper abortion” bullshit, even though, unlike real abortion, it’s not about bodily autonomy. I believe men should be able to terminate the responsibilities of fatherhood if they meet the following conditions:

• He has to sign away all rights before the baby is born. He does not get his name on the birth certificate. The child’s father will be registered as “unknown”. If someone else—say his ex’s new husband—wishes to adopt and coparent the child, he cannot interfere.
• The only exception to this is if the mother did not alert the father to the pregnancy beforehand. He should be able to provide witnesses to testify that he hadn’t seen her in at least six months prior to the birth.

'Sure they are. But Emily's Listers, whence Gillard herself arose, and the Women for Gillard are not diverse.

These women are creatures of a particular vision of womanhood; womanhood made in the aggressive gender-obsessed feminism of the post-1960s.

They are stuck in that pointless combative oppositional attitude to men because they don't know what else to do in the face of failure, even though they know how passe it all is. They do not represent ordinary women, young or old, particularly the vast army of mothers who want pretty basic things from a government.

Gillard had a vision, we are told, and much of that vision was for women.

Well, it has not been the same vision the women who elected her had.'

'Evolutionary geneticists from Canada's McMaster University say men's tendency to choose younger mates meant fertility became pointless for older women.

In PLOS Computational Biology, they say this eventually led to the menopause.

But a UK expert said that was the "wrong way round" and men chose younger women because older women were less fertile.
...
Previous theories had proposed a "grandmother effect". This suggests that women lose their fertility at an age where they might not live to see a child grow, and instead are available to care for younger women's children.

The menopause was therefore seen as the block to older women from continuing to reproduce.

I think it makes more sense to see the human male preference for younger females largely as an evolved response to the menopause”

But this latest theory suggests things work the other way around, and that it is the lack of reproduction that has given rise to menopause.'

'High school boys in Los Angeles are twice as likely to induce vomiting or use laxatives to control their weight as the national average, with 5.2% of those surveyed saying they had recently done so, according to the most recent survey data gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Los Angeles Unified School District. They are also more likely to have used diet pills, powders or liquids than boys nationwide.

The numbers challenge old assumptions that boys are immune to a problem better known to afflict teenage girls. Girls still exceed boys in fasting to lose weight, but the latest data, from 2011, showed that Los Angeles boys were nearly as likely as girls to purge through vomiting or laxatives. They were also as likely as girls to use diet pills, powders or liquids without the advice of a doctor — 6.2% said they recently used such substances, compared with 6.1% of girls.

WASHINGTON / June 14, 2013 – The non-profit Accusing U. is launching a nationwide radio campaign designed to highlight how the recent Obama Administration’s sexual harassment mandate represents an unprecedented threat to free speech. The campaign will consist of radio interviews featuring Christina Hoff Sommers, well-known author, columnist, and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

On May 9, the U.S. Department of Education and Department of Justice unveiled a new campus policy that classifies speech as a form of sexual harassment, enlarges its scope to include any speech that is deemed “unwelcome,” and eliminates the reasonable person standard.

The policy applies to all faculty members and over 21 million undergraduate and graduate students at colleges receiving Department of Education funding.
