'I was expecting the police officers, the provocative placards, and the rent-a-protesters with neon hair and black face coverings.

I was also expecting the fire alarm to go off—and it did—five minutes after Janice Fiamengo’s lecture started in the nearly full George Ignatieff Theatre at the University of Toronto on Thursday evening.

After all, the last time a person spoke against academic feminism on campus, when Warren Farrell visited in November, approximately 100 protesters barred the doors. They wouldn’t try that again, but I figured they’d try to shut things down, and fire alarms can be effective if, during the confusion, enough people give up and leave.

What I wasn’t expecting was a full house 20 minutes later, after the fire department gave the all clear, or that the controversial University of Ottawa professor would make it all the way through her lecture What’s wrong with women’s studies? without an angry mob attempting to shout her down.

'WASHINGTON - Towson University president announced Friday the school is eliminating its men's soccer and baseball teams at the end of the season for budget reasons.

The move to reconfigure the athletics program is an effort to achieve the school's three goals, university President Maravene Loeschke said in a news release. Those goals are long term financial stability, compliance with Federal Title IX requirements and the ability to stay competitive in NCAA Division I.

Loeschke is taking the recommendation of the university's athletics task force which ran an external review and asked for public input in how Towson should proceed. The university will be adding men's tennis.'

'But last Tuesday when anti-male-circumcision activists from a group called Intaction (you’d be forgiven for guessing they were called U.S. Uncut), interrupted President Clinton at a Clinton Foundation Millennium Network talk in New York, someone had to take umbrage with the outrage.

They were there, eight members strong, to protest Clinton’s support for male circumcision in Africa to battle their very real AIDS crisis.

That’s right, someone is trying to do something about the AIDS epidemic in Africa and there’s a group unrelated to anyone dying of AIDS in Africa protesting one of the tactics. Not because those tactics don’t work (there’s a lot of evidence that they do), but because they personally don’t like them.

'Some social conservatives, meanwhile, argue that VAWA and other domestic violence legislation are ideologically driven, presuming that patriarchy and sexism are the cause of domestic violence. That presupposition undermines various civil rights, including access to due process and equal treatment under the law.

For example, Stephen Baskerville, author of Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family, said mandatory arrest laws encourage women involved in divorce and custody disputes to level false allegations of abuse.

The police will come “to take her husband away, and [she need only] say, ‘I’m in fear,’” he said. The husband, meanwhile, faces possible prison time or weeks of classes on how to treat women. “Why do we need special laws [for domestic violence]?” he asked. “So we can bypass the due process laws.”

'On March 8, the United States joins people around the globe in honoring women and celebrating their contributions toward building a more peaceful, just, and prosperous world. The State Department, which has been led by strong, smart, and remarkably capable diplomats from Madeleine Albright to Condoleezza Rice and my predecessor Hillary Rodham Clinton, stands as a lasting example of the powerful change that determined women can make and sustain on behalf of America in the modern world.

It makes me happy to bring you good news.  
 
The Violence Against Women Act that passed out of the House, and is expected to be signed into law by President Obama today, covers every victim. Yay!  
   
In the words of Attorney General Eric Holder, "I applaud Congress for passing a bipartisan reauthorization that protects everyone - women and men, gay and straight, children and adults of all races, ethnicities, countries of origin, and tribal affiliations."  
 
SAVE has documented widespread discriminatory practices against male, lesbian/gay, and immigrant victims of abuse. So, even though we didn't get everything we wanted in this reauthorization of VAWA, we are celebrating the inclusion of all victims.

Please join us in thanking Eric Holder for his bold statement on VAWA inclusion:

'A few weeks ago a new British political party was established, Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them) I'm the party's leader - and we plan to change the face of British politics.

The interests of men and boys have been ever more assaulted in the UK for more than 30 years - a trend accelerating after Margaret Thatcher, a true meritocrat, resigned as prime minister in 1990.

Terrified of the prospect of alienating the ‘female vote', politicians have enacted legislation, and issued guidance for civil servants, which have been ever more influenced by militant feminist thinking. They have had no democratic mandate for doing so.'

'Ages ago, when I dated a guy in the Air Force, he told me it was mandatory that children with military parents be tested for correct paternity to receive benefits. I cringed, arguing that it was insulting and disrespectful and interfered with patient confidentiality and anyway, who would seriously lie about the paternity of a child?

That only happens on Maury, right?

Actually...it happens to more than 250,000 men a year in America. And, it happened to an old college friend of mine who just found out that the child he had given his name to, wasn't his.
...
And then, days, months or years later, you find out that that child does not share your genetic makeup. You find out that you were deceived. And if the duped father decides that he wants to leave whatever union created that child, he is still required to legally finance that child's life.'

'It all started back in the Spring of 2009. Quinnipiac University announced it was cutting men’s golf, men’s outdoor track and women’s volleyball due to budget cuts.
...
This past Monday, Federal Court judges ruled that Quinnipiac University still has failed to show that it provides equal opportunity for the female athletes.
...
Quinnipiac has 13 women’s varsity sports, including the women’s volleyball team, acrobatics and tumbling, golf and rugby.

The men only have seven varsity sports.'

'Why are feminists on the left so angered by women like Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer? Or Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg? What is it about these C-suite successes that make them the ire of Maureen Dowd or Joanne Bamberger?

Americans have been led to believe that the modern feminist movement is about freedom, equality under the law, and the right to make choices – an equation with many different variables and endless outcomes. But more and more traditional feminists today are angry when women fail to make the choices – or say the things – they think women should.'

'Last January, we wrote about the anti-male bias many people perceive in family court. Part of the story dealt with a veteran mental health counselor named Douglas Bartholomew, who provided a damning court-ordered assessment of a man accused of abusing his wife--an assessment one judge said was the worst he had seen in his 22 years on the bench.

Thanks to a Department of Health action just made public, Bartholomew will no longer conduct such assessments in domestic violence cases, once a mainstay of his practice. The assessments are key to family court cases because they often determine whether someone (usually a man) accused of domestic violence can see his children and under what conditions. And as we we reported last year, allegations of abuse are common, and sometimes used strategically, in contentious divorce cases.'
