'CLINTON, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — A Connecticut woman, accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in Clinton, has now been charged with a similar crime in a neighboring town.
Authorities said 20-year-old Loni Bouchard, of Clinton, was charged with second-degree sexual assault for allegedly having sex with a minor in Southington.
Bouchard is already facing charges of sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor in Clinton. The alleged victim was a 14-year-old boy she was hired to babysit, according to police. Those charges came following a 3-month investigation.
It is unclear if the same teen is involved in both cases.'

'When I was pregnant with my first child, I just thought that circumcision was what you did, no big deal, and that every man was circumcised. Then one day I saw a picture of a baby being circumcised, and everything changed. Just one tiny, grainy photo was enough to make me want to know more, and the more I knew, the worse it got. It turns out, circumcision really is a big deal.
Part 1 - Circumcision Surgery Myths
Myth 1: They just cut off a flap of skin.
Reality check: Not true. The foreskin is half of the penis's skin, not just a flap. In an adult man, the foreskin is 15 square inches of skin. In babies and children, the foreskin is adhered to the head of the penis with the same type of tissue that adheres fingernails to their nail beds. Removing it requires shoving a blunt probe between the foreskin and the head of the penis and then cutting down and around the whole penis.'

This, the 100th post to the blog named “The Unknown History of MISANDRY,” serves as an introduction to the ongoing project. The blog consists mainly of illustrated historical news stories (mostly from the first half of the 20th century) which reveal the little known facts of how misandry and anti-misandry were viewed by the US public the preceding the era of cultural marxism that took over public discourse in the 1970s – an event which precipitated a barrage of pseudo-scholarship that has filled our heads with false statistics, historical disinformation, facile half-truths, ideological generalizations unsupported by factual evidence, all derived from a myriad of sophistic discourses.

'(CNN) -- It's not every day you read about one top-level executive asking another where his balls are. But in the end, former Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz lived up to her reputation for "salty language" and candid management style.
Since Bartz's very public departure from Yahoo last week, her penchant for blunt, profane language have become recurring themes in discussions of her career, driving conversation about what women can and can't be in the workplace.
"It stands out because it's not expected," said Deborah Tannen, a linguistics professor at Georgetown University and author of "You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation."
"We always take notice of what's unexpected and women are still not expected to curse, so when they do, its noticed more."

'In her new book Erotic Capital, Hakim says sex appeal is our most valuable asset and we should deploy it without shame. It went on sale this week, and it’s required reading for anyone under 35.
...
Like money, you can be born with it, and like friends, you can work on getting more of it. It provides measurable and significant advantages to people who have it, just like being tall.
Women have a lot more of it than men, but men want more sex than women do, a global phenomenon Hakim calls the “male sex deficit.” That means erotic capital is a valuable asset in high demand and short supply. (“Male sexuality is worthless, because of excess supply at zero cost.”)'

On MSNBC, no less! Article here. Excerpt:
'It may not be a crime to be poor, but it can land you behind bars if you also are behind on your child-support payments.
Thousands of so-called “deadbeat” parents are jailed each year in the U.S. after failing to pay court-ordered child support — the vast majority of them for withholding or hiding money out of spite or a feeling that they’ve been unfairly gouged by the courts.
But in what might seem like an un-American plot twist from a Charles Dickens’ novel, advocates for the poor say, some parents are wrongly being locked away without any regard for their ability to pay — sometimes without the benefit of legal representation.
...
“Languishing in jail for weeks, months, and sometimes over a year, these parents share one trait … besides their poverty: They went to jail without ever talking to an attorney,” according to the lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Southern Center of Human Rights in Atlanta.

'Joselyn Cedillo, 2, was on life support with multiple internal injuries at a Dallas hospital Thursday, The Dallas Morning News reported. A hospital spokeswoman told The Associated Press she had no information on the girl Friday.
The newspaper, citing police records, said glue and paint were stuck to Joselyn's palms, and that skin had torn away in places.
Joselyn's mother, Elizabeth Escalona, was crying and hysterical when she called her own mother Wednesday morning from her Dallas apartment, according to police records. The records show that when the grandmother arrived at the apartment, her granddaughter was unconscious on the floor. She took her to the hospital.
One of the girl's brothers said their mother kicked the child in the stomach and beat her with a belt and shoe, according to police records.'

'Last week, legendary ball-buster Carol Bartz was dismissed from her position as CEO of troubled Internet giant Yahoo!. Carol Bartz was ousted because she is a potty-mouthed bully who failed to meet the expectations placed on her, despite being given free rein at the company to indulge in her favourite pastimes of firings before breakfast and impaling men on skewers in the courtyards of Sunnyvale.

'So, a woman at the top of her game has been unceremoniously kicked out of her job - she's not the first and surely won't be the last. Carol Bartz, until this week CEO of Yahoo, has been fired by the company board. She received the news via a phone call from the Chair of the Yahoo board. Charming.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that Carol Bartz is a woman? If she were a man would this have ended the same way? Would enforced quotas for women on boards have helped this situation in any way? I believe that they would.

Physical demands on firefighters reduced Excerpt:
"Few women can handle the test
Since 2003 the SRSA has trained 880 firefighters on the program protection against accidents, SMO. Of them, one hundred were women. A follow-up have shown that 30-50 percent of the female students could not handle the physical aspects of employment tests for emergency services."
Source 2: Feminism in the fire department can now reap life Excerpt:
"Now comes what many of us have been waiting for.
The background is that the Swedish gender hysteria has driven a situation where the physical demands on firefighters lowered to make it easier for women to become firefighters."

'Men will be banned from a session of this year's Labour Party conference in what is described as an "uprising" by female members. Ed Miliband, in his first conference as leader, will be the only man allowed into the auditorium in Liverpool to address the "What Women Want" meeting.
...
Presiding over the event will be the party's most senior women, including the deputy leader, Harriet Harman, the Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, the Labour leader in the Lords, Baroness Royall, and the Shadow Attorney General, Baroness Scotland.
The move is likely to be controversial among some members who believe that the party's policy development should not be drawn up along gender lines, but that all members should have a say. There will be formal resolutions based on suggestions from female members, who are being invited to the platform to put their case on education, childcare, the economy and the NHS, as well as party rules.

Article here. Shouldn't that read 'under arrest'? And pinning it on 'social isolation'? How about 'child abuse through neglect'? Oh yes, we are dealing with a mom here, not a dad. Sorry, my mistake. Excerpt:
'BERWYN, Ill. (WLS) - The death of a 14-year-old suburban boy discovered living in squalid conditions Thursday afternoon has prompted state officials to warn about the dangers of “social isolation” and a lack of community response. The teen’s mother is being investigated by the Illinois Dept. of Children and Family Services and three of his siblings were removed from the home, authorities said.
Matthew Degner of 2834 Lombard Ave. in Berwyn was pronounced dead at MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn at 4:39 p.m. Thursday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.
An autopsy Friday determined Degner died of bronchopneumonia and his death was ruled natural, according to the medical examiner’s office.
