The Inclusion Mandate, a key provision of the recently passed Violence Against Women Act, bans discrimination on the basis of color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.

The Centers for Disease Control has found that men and women engage in intimate partner abuse at nearly identical rates. But gender-biased predominant aggressor arrest policies often lead to the arrest of the man, even if the woman strikes the first blow.

We believe much of the problem lies with biased police training programs. For instance, one curriculum claims that "by and large, abusers are men and victims are women," a statement that stands in marked contrast to the Centers for Disease Control research.

To counter this misinformation and discrimination, SAVE offers evidence-based training programs for law enforcement.

'Today's adults are so unhealthy they are 15 years 'older' than their parents and grandparents at the same age, researchers say.

They are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity than previous generations because of poor health, according to a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

Looking at 6,000 adults aged 20, 30, 40, 50 over a 25 year period, researchers found younger generations had poorer 'metabolic' health - a range of issues including blood pressure and weight.

The study revealed men in their 30s were 20 per cent more likely to be overweight than in previous generations, while women in their 20s are twice as likely to be obese than those 10 years ago.'

They could be sex molls or sex maulers.

Definitely on the chubby side, though: described as around 190 to 200 pounds and five-foot-four.

Last seen teetering around in high heels and short black dresses — typical clubbing attire — their estimated age 30 to 36, so not cougars on the prowl.

A quartet of ladies, wanted in connection with the sexual assault of a 19-year-old male.

'Men usually receive criticism and blame for failing to co-operate in the fight against Aids and Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has been at the forefront of such criticism.

On November 29, 2011 he said: “HIV/Aids is a gender-based disease that is spread by men and suffered by women.”

And on December 1 he said: “In this fight against Aids, men are very slippery. We are trying to find a way to capture them.”

These statements reflect growing frustration over men’s reluctance to be involved in Aids intervention programmes initiated by the government, like HIV testing and use of antiretroviral medicines.

'Men will not be permitted access to nurseries in the emirates.

The statement from the Ministry of Social Affairs Child Department was published in the media yesterday.

It highlighted that exceptions will be made to the male staff, like gardeners, watchman and drivers, as these men did not “directly communicate with the children”.

According to the report, this will also impact the entry of male owners, claiming the school will incur a penalty if they found violating the rule.

The decision is set-up to ensure the safety of children and to limit their exposure to potential abusers.

Zahra Hamirani, chief education officer of The Blossom Nursery, confirms that the no-men rule is not new.
...
The reality in child abuse is not to simply teach "stranger danger" but for families to understand that it is often those close to us who may make our children targets. In addition, it is not only men who are abusers.”'

'President Obama took his lumps, then issued the mea culpa, for calling California’s attorney general exactly what she is: good-looking.

Will Hillary Clinton follow his example? The sensitivity cops should stand on high alert.

In May 2010, the Daily News reported that then-Secretary of State Clinton, in public, heaped praise on then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. “He always looks so good, you know? It’s maddening,” she said on Chinese TV, adding that he was “one of the best-looking guys in the administration.”

Nobody told Hillary that she had objectified the poor man. Nobody told her she was setting back the cause of handsome men in public life.

No apology was demanded. None was given. None was deserved, then or now.'

'New York State Assemblyman Alan Maisel has introduced Senate Bill 2704A, authorizing the creation of a financially delinquent parents most wanted list. If this passes, New York will join six other states with statewide online listings of parents delinquent in child support payments.

These states are: Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Washington. Of course, there are seventeen states where at least one county in the state publishes its own online list, including New York. The other sixteen states are: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
...
The listing for each parent will include the parent's name, physical description, last known address, and photograph if available. It will appear on the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance website and consist of up to 500 parents at one time.'

'Students received an Alert Carolina message Monday about a falsely reported sexual assault because the Department of Public Safety wanted to assuage heightened concerns about the issue.

Students and the campus community received an informational message in an email that said a non-UNC student had falsely filed a report about an alleged April 6 assault.

The email said an alert about the incident was not immediately sent to students because DPS didn’t think there was a threat to campus.
...
Young said the email explained why an alert was filed about a false claim.

“Given the current campus raised levels of concern (about sexual assault), we wanted folks to see why we didn’t issue the alert because no threat existed and the report was false,” he said.'

'Boys are more likely to shun university as a result of the rise in tuition fees, according to new research.

In particular, the gender gap between working class boys and girls going to university is growing, the study, by the Independent Commission on Fees, shows.

Whilst overall acceptance rates among applicants from poorer homes have remained steady, the figures show 1,700 fewer boys from the 40 per cent of neighbourhoods with the lowest higher-education participation rates were accepted into university last year.
...
The findings follow a call by Universities minister David Willetts, in an interview with The Independent, for white working-class boys to be classified as a target for universities in the same way as ethnic-minority students.

'TAYLOR (WWJ) - Some Downriver men are furious after their gym made the switch to women-only.

A protest was held Tuesday morning outside the Taylor Fitness USA Supercenter that, until recently, was open to men and women on alternating days.

Demonstrators carried signs that read, “Fraud,” and “Gender bias.”

Donald Schoenberger told WWJ Newsradio 950′s Mike Campbell he nearly got arrested when he tried to enter the club on Pardee Road, near Southland Mall.

“[I'm a] Vietnam veteran 68, 69, 70 — and I won’t have this; I won’t tolerate it. I’ll go to jail, but I won’t have somebody that I fought for … I fought for her, too, and she laughed in my face,” he said.'

'OTTAWA — While an expected 14,000 people stream into Scotiabank Place on Wednesday night to hear Oprah Winfrey speak, they will be greeted by a group of protesting foreskin activists looking to take the media mogul to task.

This will take a bit of explaining.

The group, the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, or CAN-FAP, opposes the circumcision of baby boys. Oprah has become their target because, they say, she has endorsed an anti-aging skin product that was developed using skin cells harvested from a baby’s foreskin.'

Article here. Glad to see a MSM source is facing down the Wage Gap Myth head-on. Excerpt:

'The correct answer, however, is B. The "77 cents to a man's dollar" argument is based on the average earnings of all women versus the average earnings of all men without regard for what they're doing for a living, how long they've been doing it, or any other factor that influences earnings. It's ridiculous.
...
If you're interested in understanding the gender gap, start with the Wikipedia page called "Male-female income disparity in the United States." It points to lots of studies, but don't expect a cut and dried, definitive answer because many studies conflict with one another.
...
Today you're going to see a lot of headlines and hear a lot of reporters claim women earn 77 cents for every dollar men make. While that might make for a great sound bite, the math is fuzzy and the comparison is silly.'

'Professionals in different disciplines identified and defined Parental Alienation as the pervasive practice of one divorcing parent against the other parent to destroy the relationship of the targeted parent with his or her children. This is usually done with the intent to gain financial benefits in court.
