Notice that anything that has 'glory' attached to it in any way that just happens to be all-male is immediately pounced upon by feminists as evidence that there is an evil conspiracy going on to exclude women from its ranks. But anything that happens to be all-female is itself touted as glorious for that reason alone, and no excuses are to be made for that state of affairs. Men are being excluded? Not only fine, but desirable-- nay, it's justice! Excerpt:

'CANNES, France (AP) — At this year's Cannes Film Festival, there are directors in their 30s and their 80s, directors from Europe and North America, directors from Asia and the Middle East — but no women.

Not, at least, among the 22 films competing for the coveted Palme D'Or, an absence that has drawn criticism from feminists — and a defense from the festival's artistic director. Thierry Fremaux argues it's not his fault that filmmaking remains primarily "a male sport."

'Here is your chance to stand tall and grab a big victory for the shared parenting movement. But it is imperative that you act immediately.

Everything you need to know follows.

Background:
Both the Minnesota State Senate and Minnesota House have passed bills requiring that each parent get a minimum of 35% of the parenting time—including during temporary orders. Any of you who have been through the custody process knows that temporary orders are crucial—months to years later, they have a way of turning into permanent orders.'

'Kevin Bracken's wrestling career took him all over the world, but he always had a soft spot in his heart for those guys from his college days. That's why it was so hard for him when Illinois State called and wanted to add his name to the Redbirds' Hall of Fame. Hard feelings don't necessarily fade in time, especially with someone as stubborn as a wrestler.

Part of Bracken wanted to tell his old school where to stick that award. In 1995, Bracken's final year of college, Illinois State cut its wrestling program. Strapped with financial constraints and Title IX compliance issues, the school chose to drop wrestling and men's soccer and add a women's soccer team.

'The Senate is poised to consider S. 1925 this week, the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Despite the law’s good intentions, more recent reauthorizations—including the bill before the Senate—are seriously flawed and veer away from the legislation’s original goals of protecting vulnerable women.

As Heritage research fellow David Muhlhausen and Independent Women’s Forum visiting fellow Christina Villegas explain in a recent Heritage Backgrounder, the problems with S. 1925 are significant. In addition to broadening the classes of covered victims to include men and prisoners and expanding existing, duplicative programs, S. 1925 fails to rectify VAWA’s inadequate accountability measures—while increasing direct spending by more than $100 million.

As recent investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) have revealed, disturbing instances of fraud and embezzlement of some Office on Violence Against Women grants have marred the original law’s intentions. ...'

'In a May 8 press release, the National Organization For Women condemned the Republican version of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was passed by the HouseJudiciary Committee on a mostly party-line vote.

Among other provisions, the Republican version provides greater protection and services for boys and men along with more inclusive “gender neutral” language than does the Democratic version, which presumes that only men are violent and only women are innocent victims (“Domestic-violence law advanced by House panel,” Web, May 8).

A few days before the vote, the Dallas Morning News and Dallas TV stations reported that a naked and blood-covered Cristal Paulette Richardson was charged with castrating and then murdering Cedric Lamont Owens by slitting his throat and stabbing him multiple times in the chest. In this heinous act Ms. Richardson joins at least three other women implicated in castration cases that received media attention: Lorena Bobbitt, Monju Bengum and Catherine Kieu Becker.'

'Republicans are NOT waging a “war on women,” but the Democrats are definitely waging a “war on men.” Case in point is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

First passed during the Clinton Administration, VAWA is now up for reauthorization. Democrats in the House of Representatives have presented their version of the VAWA reauthorization – H.R. 4271. No surprise. It’s loaded with expensive new programs based on radical feminist ideology.
...
The problem with mandatory arrest policies is they silence victims and keep them from calling the police for help. As a result, mandatory arrest policies have resulted in a 60% increase in partner homicides — according to a Harvard University study. All this at a cost of $25 million in taxpayer money.

The radical feminists like mandatory arrest — throw more men in jail, break up families, and push children deeper into the cycle of welfare dependency.'

'In the grips of recession most people are having to forget their material desires. But a new breed of women dubbed 'rinsers', are taking to the internet to find rich men who will fund their expensive shopping habits.

Featured in a Channel 4 documentary 'Sex, Lies and Rinsing Guys' Jeanette Worthington, Danica Thrall and Hollie Capper reveal how they use their feminine charms to get thousands of pounds worth of goods from wealthy Twitter and Facebook followers.

They never meet their admirers in person and merely offer virtual friendship in exchange for designer products. As 33-year-old Liverpudlian Jeanette notes: 'I do nice things for my friends and I don’t expect them to have sex with me.’'

'A BBC commenter and religious leftist named John Bell went on a sexist tirade that was remarkable in its vitriol. He makes a point that people will do in groups what they would never do as individuals, which has long been known as mob psychology. No argument there. But the biogoted sexism is really over the top. From “John Bell’s Screed Thought For the Day:”

Because we live in a broadly patriarchal society, we should not be surprised that the culture which brought about the worldwide financial meltdown was overwhelmingly masculine. But consider also that the people who are most vocal in denying human responsibility for the disastrous effects of climate change are mostly male.

Many Americans are Disenchanted with Violence Against Women Act:

SAVE Calls on Lawmakers to Heed Citizen Concerns

WASHINGTON / May 16, 2012 – A recent U.S. News poll found a strong majority of persons are opposed to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in its current form. Featuring pro and con position statements by leading advocates and elected officials, the poll found that U.S. News readers reject the current VAWA law by a two-to-one margin: http://www.usnews.com/debate-club/should-the-violence-against-women-act-be-reauthorized

Laura Wood, a writer at TheThinkingHousewife.com, argued the “Violence Against Women Act is an egregious departure from justice and common sense.” Two out of three poll responders agreed with Wood’s critique.

'Disgraced ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn is seeking more than USD 1 million in a countersuit against the New York hotel maid whose accusation of sexual assault last year brought down his glittering political career.

The countersuit, signed Monday and made public Tuesday, seeks a minimum of USD 1 million, plus legal costs and undetermined punitive damages from the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, who is accused of "falsely and maliciously asserting" she was attacked.

The 18-page document accuses Diallo of malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false imprisonment, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

"Ms Diallo participated in the commencement and maintenance of a baseless criminal prosecution," the suit said, "and in doing so intended to injure Mr Strauss-Kahn."

SAVE Calls on Lawmakers to Stand Tall for Victims and the Constitution during Upcoming VAWA Vote

Washington, DC/May 15, 2012 – A leading victim-advocacy organization is calling on Representatives to support reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, H.R. 4970. Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) says H.R. 4970 will best help victims of partner abuse and safeguard Constitutional protections.

SAVE urges lawmakers to resist attempts to expand definitions of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault. Overly-broad definitions encourage false allegations of abuse and make it harder for true victims to be heard.

Since its passage in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has sparked controversy. The ACLU once termed VAWA’s mandatory arrest provisions “repugnant” to the Constitution, and in 2000 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a VAWA provision designed to provide a federal civil remedy for sex assault cases.

'He was the spitting image of the killer, had the same first name and was near the scene of the crime at the fateful hour: Carlos DeLuna paid the ultimate price and was executed in place of someone else in Texas in 1989, a report out Tuesday found.

"Everything went wrong in this case," Liebman said.

That night Lopez called police for help twice to protect her from an individual with a switchblade.

"They could have saved her, they said 'we made this arrest immediately' to overcome the embarrassment," Liebman said.

"Unfortunately, the flaws in the system that wrongfully convicted and executed DeLuna -- faulty eyewitness testimony, shoddy legal representation and prosecutorial misconduct -- continue to send innocent men to their death today," read a statement that accompanies the report.'

The video shows the redheaded woman repeatedly kicking and striking the man after his slow pedalling held her car up.

The woman herself brought the attack to the attention of police, claiming she was the victim but giving them false contact details.'

'He speculated that “Congress would get a lot more done” if more women were there. He speculated that, although no women signed the Constitution, “we can assume that there were founding mothers whispering smarter things in the ears of the founding fathers.”

He announced that “more and more women are out-earning their husbands. You’re more than half of our college graduates and master’s graduates and PhDs.” He told them that they are “poised to make this the century where women shape not only their own destiny but the destiny of this nation and of this world.”

And they can look good doing it! “You can be stylish and powerful, too,” he said. “That’s Michelle’s advice.” The first lady, the couple’s two daughters, and the president’s mother and mother-in-law had recurring roles as “strong, remarkable women” in the speech.'

Article here. Excerpt:

'CNN ran a large chunk of speech in the 2 pm hour Monday that included that passage, along with what followed, in the "don't let the media stop you for doing idealistic things" vein. Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank was the rare journalist to note the "founding mothers" crack. The Constitution is an "extraordinary document," said Obama:

Yes, it had its flaws — flaws that this nation has strived to protect (perfect) over time. Questions of race and gender were unresolved. No woman's signature graced the original document — although we can assume that there were founding mothers whispering smarter things in the ears of the founding fathers. (Applause.) I mean, that's almost certain.

And one reason many workplaces still have outdated policies is because women only account for three percent of the CEOs at Fortune 500 companies. One reason we're actually refighting long-settled battles over women's rights is because women occupy fewer than one in five seats in Congress.
