'A 25-year-old man, Abid Pervaiz, was brought to Jinnah hospital at 1pm on Thursday with severe genital mutilation wounds. Doctors on duty said it was a miracle that the man had survived despite severe bleeding.

According to Mehmoodabad police station’s duty officer SI Mohammad Azeem, Abid hails from Sukkur and was living in Mehmoodabad No. 5 with some distant relatives. He was divorced, but began communicating with his ex-wife again.

The couple decided to meet again and hired a room at the Royal City hotel, where the woman allegedly laced fruit juice with some sleeping pills. When Abid drowsily woke up, he discovered that his penis had been cut off. Azeem says although Abid was still in a state of shock, doctors have somehow managed to save his life.

“Abid told me that before he passed out completely, he heard his former wife speaking to someone on the phone, saying that she had carried out her plan,” the officer says.'

'Dwight Johnson’s son cannot play in a state-sanctioned volleyball tournament because he is a boy. The Colorado State High School Activities Association refuses to sanction a volleyball tournament for boys, even though it sanctions one for girls. Johnson, of Colorado Springs, is suing the U.S. Department of Education, claiming that federal efforts to protect girls have backfired on boys and caused them a lack of equal protection as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.'

'Instead of funding women’s sports through student fees (or other methods), the NCAA decided that money should come from athletic department budgets. The fact that male football and basketball players were creating the revenue and receiving none of the proceeds was beside the point. To the NCAA, the players were being well remunerated with a free college education, and the revenues they were generating were needed for the other sports. This policy became a shibboleth of the academic elite, and no one dared to challenge the established orthodoxy. After all, remember what happened to Lawrence Summers when he confronted the Women’s rights bloc at Harvard. Why rock the boat when the only ones being taken advantage of were the athletes, who “all” thought that they would eventually hit a big payday in professional sports. The fact that this pie-in-the-sky scenario never happened for most men playing college football or basketball didn’t matter. It covered the behinds of the NCAA.'

'Elaine Lissner, director of the Male Contraception Information Project, formed a foundation to develop other approaches, the Times reported. One such method, “reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance,” or Risug, involves injecting gel into the scrotum to effectively deactivate sperm.

Another involves briefly heating the testes with ultrasound, which can halt sperm production for months, she told the paper. “I can imagine a world where you take your car in every six months to get your oil changed and go next door and get your ultrasound for 50 bucks," said Blithe.'

'NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York hotel maid who accused former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her said in an interview published on Newsweek's website on Sunday that he appeared as a "crazy man" and attacked her when she entered his room.

Nafissatou Diallo also gave the newsmagazine and ABC News permission to identify her by name.

The magazine interview marks the first time the 32-year-old Guinean immigrant to the United States has publicly spoken to the media since she shocked the world with allegations that Strauss-Kahn emerged naked from the bathroom of his luxury suite on May 14 and forced her to perform oral sex.
...

ABC News on Sunday also announced it would broadcast an interview with Diallo on Monday morning.

'PENN HILLS, Pa. -- A police officer found a man on the street near his Penn Hills home, grabbing his genital area and yelling that a woman hurt him severely.
...
The victim told police he was sitting on the couch with his father when his girlfriend returned uninvited and pushed open the front door.

The father said it was unprovoked, and he tried to intervene and keep her away from his son.
...
“The young lady did grab him by his penis and was pulling rather strongly, which forced him to follow her onto the porch and eventually the street area,” said Penn Hills Police Chief Howard Burton.
...
Kieston Roofner, 23, of Zelienople, was arrested on charges of domestic violence.
...
Police said they were at the victim’s home, where the couple was fighting before the assault. They said Roofner was asked to leave.'

'The attorney for a woman accused of cutting off her husband's penis said Friday that there is "more than meets the eye" to the case but declined to speak in further detail.

Catherine Kieu briefly appeared in court early Friday but did not enter a plea to charges that include torture. A judge set bail at $1 million and scheduled another hearing in late September for her to enter her plea.

Kieu, 48, spoke through a Vietnamese interpreter during the hearing. That was a change from a court hearing earlier this month, when she answered "Yes" in a strong voice to the judge's questions in English.

Her public defender, Frank Bittar, declined to speak about the case outside the courtroom. "There's a lot there, to the case, more than meets the eye," he said. A young man and woman who met with him after the hearing also declined to comment and would not say whether they were Kieu's friends or family.'

The unprecedented settlement of up to £220 million, agreed by Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky in his divorce from his second wife, Galina, represents the largest ever pay-out in the UK.

Although Mr Berezovsky settled the divorce award out of court, the size of the sum reflects the growing reputation of British courts for awarding generous settlements to the wives of rich men.

Last year, a Nigerian woman, Sikirat Agbaje managed to increase her settlement to £275,000, almost 10 times the original settlement awarded to her in a Nigerian court, after bringing her case to the High Court in London.

'I always agree with Sharon Osbourne, who is English and outrageous. Lately they were discussing the second Lorena Bobbit case in the USA but it’s a woman with a different, difficult name. Anyway this woman cut off her husband’s organ and (learning from Lorena who threw it out of her car window thus her husband could retrieve it and a surgeon sew it back) threw it down her garbage disposal unit. In the USA every sink comes with a garbage disposal unit, which liquifies whatever you throw down it and you turn on the running water. Now let’s see if there’s a doctor who can sew a liquified thing back on!

'LONDON - The UK government published a code of conduct drawn up by executive-search firms aimed at boosting the number of women on company boards, including a recommendation that 30 per cent of candidates be female.

“When presenting their long lists, search firms should ensure that at least 30 per cent of the candidates are women — and, if not, should explicitly justify to the client why they are convinced there are no other qualified female options,” according to the voluntary guidelines announced on Friday by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in London.

Nineteen leading headhunting firms have pledged to sign up to the code for future boardroom appointments, the BIS said. Among the signatories are Korn/Ferry Whitehead Mann, the UK arm of Korn/Ferry International.

'In relation to the issue, my friend Lourisse informs me that she’s delighted to say that HBO has finally started exercising their right to feature male frontal nudity, a move she considers long overdue since the network is known for an extensive liberal serving of exposed women’s breasts and other lewd sexual content. We toast to the progressive move of HBO’s genitalia-on-air, followed by a collective promise to one day achieve our goal of being able to objectify men, just as they do to women.
...
At this point in time, and especially in this society, we all agree that it’s about time women have equal rights to objectify men. Not to say that the objectification of the human body and sexuality is by any means correct — it’s just that we’ve seen women over and over again being misrepresented and exploited on public advertisements, and for the first time Bench is actually giving us women that equal right to ogle at men and make them feel like fine pieces of meat.'

'In the wake of the U.S. women’s soccer team losing the World Cup final to Japan last weekend, Bryant Gumbel of HBO Sports asked: “Can we stop coddling women in sports? Are we now so fearful of being labelled sexist that we can’t objectively assess the efforts of female athletes?”

Most [male] American reporters did adopt the ‘Gee, they-kick-the-ball-pretty-well-for-girls’ approach, dodging serious criticism of the U.S. players dropping the WC Final. Others followed Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press, extolling the high calibre of the tournament, saying he’s now a convert to women’s soccer. Few besides Gumbel ripped the team for allowing the underdog Japanese to win - a distinction they shared with Japan’s other victims, it might be added.
