Afghan policewoman was 'unstable'

Story here. I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but anyone who is 1) crazy and 2) has access to firearms is a potential threat. Of course many other things can be a motive for murder-by-gun much less anything else, but when it comes to seemingly inexplicable murders (so-called "random" or "impersonal" murder) not driven even by ideology or political affiliation, the factor is "crazy". Unfortunately just yesterday, America had a second mass-shooting in upstate NY in as many weeks wherein the killer targeted innocent men for no apparent reason and killed himself before he could be caught; he was a convicted killer and apparently murdered his sister before setting his house on fire, too. Crazy: check. Access to guns: check. Until guns can be kept out of the hands of lunatics, we'll keep having such tragedies-- and the sex/age of the murderer isn't really a factor, as much as feminists want you to believe it. It's "crazy". Excerpt:

A police official said she was able to enter the compound armed because she was licensed to carry a weapon as a police officer.
...
The fact that a woman was behind the assault shocked some Afghans.

Billings woman charged with filing false rape report against ex-boyfriend

Story here.

'BILLINGS — A Billings woman is charged with making a false rape report against a former boyfriend in August.

Christina Nadine Nelson pleaded not guilty to fabricating evidence during a District Court hearing Thursday.

Court records say Nelson told police that she left work on Aug. 10 and was walking to her car when her former boyfriend approached her from behind, took her to a van and raped her.

However, court records say a review of surveillance video from Nelson's workplace shows her leaving work and driving away. Nelson's former boyfriend gave police proof that he was in Seattle at the time.

The detective said a review of Nelson's medical records show she had made similar rape reports in the past, including twice in April.'

Canada: Rideau Park School teacher accused of sex crimes has ‘loyal following’

Story here. Excerpt:

'It began as a bad dream for parents: a letter home from school officials informing them that a much-loved Calgary teacher had been accused of sex crimes against a teenage student.

A day after police charged a female Rideau Park School teacher with sexual assault and sexual interference, many parents say they are shocked by the allegations.

But some are standing behind the teacher, who is in her 40s, calling her “excellent” and “talented,” and say no matter the outcome of the case, her good work should not be forgotten.

“The teacher is a much-loved teacher at the school,” said Lisa Poole, president of the school council, although she was not speaking on behalf of the group. “She’s excellent with the children, she’s hardworking.

“She has made an enormous contribution to the school and has a very loyal following.”

The teacher was arrested Tuesday and charged with sexual assault and sexual interference. Police accuse her of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy for a year.

Women take the lead at British universities

'YOUNG women have extended their dominance over men at British universities as a result of the trebling of tuition fees, new figures show.

Higher fees depressed demand for higher education, with 51,000 fewer students starting a university degree this autumn compared with a year ago, a decline of 13 per cent.

But the fall was bigger among boys in their late teens than among girls, extending the gender gap on British campuses to a record amount.

Applications to university among boys aged 18 dropped by 1 point, with 30 per cent seeking a place in higher education. Among girls of the same age it slipped by only 0.6 of a point to 40.1 per cent, a gap of 10.1 percentage points.'

White House petition aims to end male-only military draft

Article here. Excerpt:

'A petition on the White House’s “We the People” Web page contends that a military draft covering men, but not women, is discriminatory and should be abolished.

“The Selective Service System is discriminatory against the young men of the United States of America,” the petition reads, “and should be considered unfair and unethical.”

“As the law stands young men must sign up for Selective Service for a possible military draft when they turn eighteen,” the petition notes. “If they do not they risk jail sentences, huge fines, or the denial of government services or jobs. Young women do not face the same requirements or penalties.”...

“To require only half of our citizens to register for such a program is not only government-sponsored sexism, but also a breach of their autonomy as human beings.”'

FDA seeking comments on Draft Guidance for Industry on Vaginal Microbicides (Deadline 21 Feb 2013)

Link here. Excerpt from guidance document (emphasis added):

'Sexual transmission accounts for the majority of HIV infections both in the United States and globally. Behavior change through counseling, male and female condoms, antiretroviral therapy for the infected partner, voluntary male medical circumcision, and treatment of STIs can reduce the risk of HIV acquisition. However, despite these prevention methods, HIV incidence in the United States has not declined and remains stable at 56,300 new infections annually (Hall, Song, et al. 2008). Worldwide, the annual incidence is estimated to be about 2.7 million infections (UNAIDS 2011).'

Why Feminists Should Support the Return of Chivalry

Article here. Excerpt:

'Chivalry and feminism appear to be natural enemies: If women want to be treated as equals they can’t also want men to open doors for them or always pick up the check. Carrying a woman’s bag can be taken as implying that she’s too weak to do it herself.
...
Even when it comes from a positive place of wanting to help, the assumption that a woman always needs a man to step in and rescue her is exactly how chivalry came to be referred to as “benevolent sexism.” Chivalrous men may mean well, but it’s easy to see a disconnect between social rules about treating women with delicate respect and the push toward equality.
...
I’m not entirely convinced that a return to chivalry wouldn’t open the door to reinforced ideas of women as weak, but Smith’s proposal is worth considering.'

Court upholds decision in penis removal case

Story here. Excerpt:

'LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man lost his bid Friday to force a doctor to pay damages for removing a cancer-riddled section of his penis during what was scheduled to be a simple circumcision.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals found that a jury correctly concluded that 66-year-old Phillip Seaton of Waddy consented to allow Dr. John Patterson to perform any procedure deemed necessary during the Oct. 19, 2007, surgery.

Patterson, a Kentucky-based urologist, maintains he found cancer in the man’s penis during surgery and that it had to be removed. The patient claims the surgery was supposed to be a circumcision and he never authorized the amputation, nor was he given a chance to seek a second opinion.'

Olympic athlete discovered 'escorting', gets spun as mid-life crisis

'DECEMBER 20---A three-time U.S. Olympian whose illustrious running career has included a Nike TV commercial, a swimsuit calendar, and ongoing promotional work for Disney has spent the last year doubling as a $600-an-hour call girl, an astounding secret life that she now regretfully calls a “huge mistake.”

Beginning last December, Suzy Favor Hamilton, 44, has worked with one of Las Vegas’s premier escort services, booking scores of “dates” in Sin City and other U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.

While Favor Hamilton (seen at right) has used an alias, “Kelly Lundy,” when working as an escort, she inexplicably shared her true identity with several male clients, believing that her secret was somehow safe with strangers who paid for her company by leaving envelopes stuffed with cash on bathroom vanities in swanky hotels.
