'The accused female shooter at Dallas Love Field Airport has a lengthy criminal record and had previously told police that she was "God’s prophet" and was married to R&B singer-songwriter Chris Brown.

Over the past several years, 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa has faced charges including arson, robbery, criminal trespass and false reporting in cities across North Texas.

But in many of those incidents, judges deemed her incompetent to stand trial, she was referred to either or both inpatient or outpatient mental health services, and the cases were dismissed, The Dallas Morning News has reported. And as recently as last summer, a Dallas County judge ruled she was not a danger to others.

'The woman who allegedly broke up Elon Musk and Sergey Brin's years-long friendship grew up in poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area before becoming a lawyer and dating some of the world's richest men.

Nicole Shanahan, 37, is said to have had a brief affair with Musk at Art Basel, a multi-day art event in Miami, in December of last year, which prompted her Google co-founder husband to file for divorce in January.

Brin, who is estimated to have a net worth of $95 billion, cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason, but The Wall Street Journal on Sunday reported that it was Musk's dalliance with Nicole that signaled the end of their marriage.

They were both in Miami for the art festival, at a time when Shanahan and Brin were reportedly already having marital problems due to the stress of COVID-19 and raising their 4-year-old daughter.

Musk, meanwhile, had just separated from girlfriend Grimes.

'The Los Angeles Unified School District has adopted a radical gender-theory curriculum encouraging teachers to work toward the “breakdown of the gender binary,” to experiment with gender pronouns such as “they,” “ze,” and “tree” and to adopt “trans-affirming” programming to make their classrooms “queer all school year.”

'Nationally, it's being described as a "male college crisis," and Indiana is not immune to the trend. Male high school graduates are going to college at much lower rates than women, and that gap continues to widen.

Indiana higher education officials describe it as "a concerning gap ...This is the first time in recent history the male college-going rate has dropped to below half (46%),” in reference to the high school graduating class of 2020.

In contrast, the college going rate for Hoosier women in 2020 was 61%.

The report focused on the overall decline in college attendance, with just 53% of Indiana high school graduates going to college in 2020, a one-year decline described as “alarming” by Chris Lowery, Indiana’s new commissioner for higher education.

'A May 2022 Freakonomics Radio Podcast, What is the Future of College — and Does it Have Room for Men?, dovetailed quite nicely with an article I wrote in November of 2021. In When Ame Embraced Wonder Woman and forgot G.I. Joe, I addressed different cultural ethos that led to a shift in the ways we treat our nation’s sons and daughters, particularly in the field of education and policy action in general.

'I acknowledge that men’s college completion rates trail those of women. Racial and ethnic achievement gaps persist and were even exacerbated by the pandemic in some cases. These are complex issues tied to economic conditions and unjust social structures.

But so is — and has been — the story for women who only recently caught up to men in college-going numbers — and who have a long way to go in the work-force and leadership positions. Much like Ginger Rogers, today’s women are doing everything the men are doing but “backward and in heels,” to which I would add: “and for less pay.”

In Texas, we like to say that in order to succeed, you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get to work. It seems as though women are doing just that, and yet, some characterize women’s enrollment outpacing men’s as a crisis. Maybe we should fan the flames of some real crises, like pay equity or the closure of women’s colleges. Relatively speaking, the boys are doing just fine.'

'The Tel Aviv municipality is limiting a public film screening solely to women on Wednesday based on religious considerations after pledging last year not to permit “gender segregation between women and men at events in public space.”

The municipality has recently publicized the showing of the film “Trapped in Iran” at a community center in the Neveh Ofer neighborhood of southern Tel Aviv as “for women and girls only.”'

'During the Women with Hydro Vision lunch and awards programme that took place at the HYDROVISION International conference and exhibition in Denver, Colorado this week, attendees heard about the importance of women as leaders, emphasized by a powerful quote from Harvard Business Review: “Women do hard things better.”

Harvard Business Review also reported that women leaders have more engaged teams, drive better job performance and save their organisations millions of dollars as a result. If you distill the key traits of strong leaders, two come to the top: wisdom and compassion.'

'Doctors in England will be given mandatory training to better treat female medical conditions under wider plans to improve women's health.

Free access to NHS fertility treatment will be expanded and there will be more funding for mobile breast cancer screening.

The government said the changes, part of its women's health strategy, were based on responses from 100,000 people.

But critics said more must be done to close the "gender gap" in NHS services.

The government opened a call for evidence in Spring 2021 to collect views on women's health from members of the public, academics, charities and campaigners.

Women in England live on average four years longer than men but spend more of their life in poor health, which can limit their ability to work and participate in day-to-day activities.'

'Females may be more vulnerable to extreme high temperatures such as the heatwave gripping the UK than males, experts have suggested.

The heatwave plan for England states that those at high risk include the over-75s, babies, young children, people with severe physical or mental illness and females.

The document does not explain why females are on the list, but the UK Health Security Agency pointed to a study in the Netherlands that looked at mortality after various heatwaves and found elderly women are at higher risk than men. The researchers said the results were not simply down to age.'

'The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that a woman who was in a relationship with a man and willingly stayed with him could not later file a rape case if the relationship turned sour. With the observation, the Bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Vikram Nath granted anticipatory bail to one Ansaar Mohammad, who was accused of rape, unnatural offences, and criminal intimidation, according to reports.

“The complainant has willingly been staying with the appellant and had the relationship. Therefore, now if the relationship is not working out, the same cannot be a ground for lodging an FIR for the offence under Section 376(2)(n) IPC," the order said, a report by the Bar and Bench stated.'

Read this. If the show depicted instead a restaurant staffed entirely by women except for one man under the same circumstances, would the writer speak of "femininity in crisis"? Would such a show, these days, even get made? Excerpt:

'Throughout its eight episodes, The Bear is preoccupied with masculinity, and almost anthropological in its analysis of the ways in which men and male-dominated cultures are set up to fail. What if, it seems to wonder, the qualities required for people to thrive in hierarchies—kitchens, boardrooms, small-time criminal subsets—are also poisoning those worlds from within?
...
Edebiri, in turn, shows flashes of Sydney’s anguish beneath her intentional, workaholic surface. She cares as much about food and the art of cooking as Carmy does, but doesn’t believe they have to be tainted with what she describes as “a toxic hierarchical shit show.” In the third episode, she confronts him after a brutal shift, but her words and tone are tightly modulated. She wants to provoke change, not anger.'

'A woman who falsely branded her neighbour a rapist when she alleged he had attacked her in a tent in her garden has been jailed.

Jade Wass reported her vulnerable neighbour to the police in July 2020 when she claimed the man, known only as Mr X, had raped her - an allegation that left the man feeling 'suicidal'.

Teesside Crown Court heard how the 26-year-old kept up her story for months before police finally decided that she has lied about the alleged attack.

Richard Bennett, prosecuting, said the man, who has a medical condition causing significant sight loss, was held in custody for more than 15 hours while police questioned him about the false allegations.
...
Judge Howard Crowson jailed Wass for two years after hearing the impact the allegation had on the man and other victims of sex crimes.

'Senate Bill 262 states that if the impregnator is found guilty in the civil suit, then they could face fines of at least $5,000. With the “Heartbeat Bill” in effect, there are no considerations for rape or incest, but Maharath said at least with SB 262, the father would have to take financial responsibility.

“When I’m thinking ‘unintentional,’ and this would be an interpretation the courts would have to decide, I’m thinking of those types of situations,” said Maharath.

The mother would have up to five years after conception to sue.

Marahath said these civil cases would be handled comparably to child support cases — with proof of paternity being a component. If the guilty party cannot pay the fine, then Maharath said she envisions it being handled within the court.'
