'A Polk County sheriff's deputy filmed herself strapping naked children to a desk and spanking them with sex toys, then sent the videos to a boyfriend she met on a fetish website, investigators said.

On Thursday, 45-year-old Robin Leigh Pagoria was charged with aggravated child abuse, production of child pornography, promotion of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

According to an arrest report, the two children, described only as girls between the ages of 10 and 18, described in graphic detail multiple spanking sessions.

Investigators say Pagoria cut the legs off one end of the desk she used for the spanking. To keep the girls from moving, she handcuffed their arms and tied their ankles to the desk, deputies said.
...
Investigators said they found evidence of two videos on Pagoria's phone. In both, deputies said the victims' genitals and buttocks were the clear "focal point."

Anyone recall Secretary of State Clinton's claim that women have always been the primary victims of war? Read this. Oh, and this, too, then ask yourself just how misinformed/biased one has to be to come to this conclusion. Excerpt:

'The lifting of the siege of the embattled Libyan city of Misrata has revealed the disappearance of hundreds of people with many of them suspected victims of snatch squads loyal to the Gaddafi regime, relatives and rights workers said yesterday.

A desperate search has begun for "the disappeared", many of whom were reported to have been taken away to regime prisons or killed during some of the fiercest fighting of a three-month rebel uprising that has reduced parts of the city to rubble.

'A newspaper has been forced to apologise after its list of the 'top 10 hottest sex offenders' caused an outcry.

The Houston Press yesterday published the article featuring who they believed were the 10 'hottest' women in a huge Texas-wide sex offender database.

Alongside the women's mugshots, the online article also listed the women's crimes and the age of their victims - one was as young as two years old.

The tone of the article was jokey and in most cases years old mugshots of the offenders were used.

It suggested readers may want to 'click the link' of the women before sending 'any marriage proposals' suggesting that they might not look quite as 'hot' now.

Unsurprisingly the article triggered a deluge of complaints from readers.'

'People often assume that self-described liberals are more supportive of due process than self-described conservatives. That certainly isn’t the case when we talk about the illiberal bureaucrats who run the United States Department of Education.

The notion that an adult charged with a felony should be put on trial using the same standard of evidence used for someone who has been issued a parking ticket is absurd. In fact, it is more than absurd. It is offensive to well-established principles of due process and fundamental fairness.

Recently, however, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has announced new guidelines that will force due process to take a back seat to political correctness. These guidelines will apply to sexual harassment and felony sexual assault cases.

'Koss wanted to find out how extensive rape was in American colleges. Turns out there were not enough so she tried to convince come college women that because they had been drinking and had sex it was rape. Some of those same women kept on drinking with their rapists and being raped. Stupid women? Brutal men? Or just life in the fast lane when you are young?

Unwanted sexual attention is also included with rape to inflate numbers. OK, the nerd made a clumsy pass “You look great in those jeans, want to go out?” Unwanted. The handsome athletic student whose father owns a silver mine says “You look great in those jeans, want to go out?” And she goes. Most unwanted sexual attention is not about rape or sexual assault, just the wrong women at the wrong time with the wrong guy. Hardly a sex crime. And if women can’t deal with that then how will they ever become fire-persons, police persons, and army persons?'

Article here. This is posted more as an object lesson: a woman's greatest strength is her veneer of weakness; a man's greatest weakness is his veneer of strength. Anyone who allows himself to be struck by anyone else for any amount of money is playing with fire. I doubt the woman who delivered the fatal blow will see any time from a conviction, given that the person who died was literally asking for it (but if she had been a he and vice versa, well, my prediction would then be different). Excerpt:

'A 22-year-old woman allegedly killed an aspiring rap singer with a single punch for a $5 party bet.

Tiffany Startz is accused of killing John 'Fatboy' Powell with a single blow to the face and has been told she has to stand trial.

The 25-year-old had agreed to be hit in the face by Starr in return for $5.

After being struck and collecting his money he walked away to talk with friends, only to collapse minutes later from a burst artery in his neck.

'(CNN) -- Prison-issued toilet paper is what musician William Michael Dillon used to write down most of his songs, including "Black Robes and Lawyers," which has just been released on iTunes.

"I was arrested for murder on August 26, 1981, for a crime I didn't commit," Dillon tells his audience as he starts strumming his guitar. "I was released on November 18, 2008. Thank you to the keepers of justice."

According to Dillon, justice prevailed when he was released from prison after 27 years. He is now on the Innocence Project of Florida's list of 13 prisoners exonerated by DNA evidence.

It was Dillon's life story and not his music that moved Grammy Award winning music producer Jim Tullio to invite Dillon to his Chicago studio to record the songs he wrote in prison.'

'They should lock her up and throw away the key.

The bitter wife of an NYPD cop who beat a rape rap sneered yesterday that her husband's accuser is a money-grubbing liar who should be jailed herself.

"She can go to hell," ranted Julia Moreno, wife of veteran cop Kenneth Moreno, 43, who was acquitted last week along with partner Franklin Mata, 29, after a sensational two-month trial.

"She should go to jail for this," the wife barked in a bitter attack sure to outrage the accuser's legions of supporters. "She had two days to make up this story with her lawyer friends before she went to the hospital."

Need I go into detail about this and the many other similar double-standards? Male-only events and spaces: bad. Female-only events and spaces: good. About sums it up. Excerpt:

'Canada's Isabelle Beisiegel has become the first female golfer to earn a playing card on a men's professional tour.

The 32-year-old Montreal native finished equal ninth Friday in the Canadian Professional Golf Tour's Spring Qualifying School to take one of the last two nonexempt spots.

Beisiegel had a 4-under 68 in the third round, then closed with a 75 in rainy conditions to finish at 8-over 296. She opened with rounds of 75 and 78.

'Is it all about the cougar effect?

Out of the dailymailco.uk comes an interesting article posing the question why are so many US female teachers having affairs with their students?

dailymailco.uk: As school years go, this one has been riddled with sex scandal.

But it’s not droves of male teachers who are being arrested and charged for having sex with their under-age students – it’s females.And as yet another young, female teacher is this week arrested for allegedly having sex with her 16-year-old student, the MailOnline asks: what’s happened to America’s female teachers?'

From an email from kiva.org, a microlender:

'Men are a minority on Kiva. The microfinance industry has always focused more on finding and funding women (which is great!) But with Father's Day around the corner, we want to focus on the men of Kiva.'

And then they highlighted some of the male lendees that are seeking loans.

With misandry as bad as it is and many organizations just plain scared to mention men much less point them out as clients (no fear when pointing out female clients, mind you-- the announcements are everywhere), I think Kiva.org deserves a round of applause. Please drop them an email using their contact form telling them you appreciate the effort at highlighting some of their male clients, especially around Father's Day, for many of these men are just trying to do what men have been at for millenia now-- be providers to wife and children, and often thanklessly so.

'People cannot consent in advance to sexual activity that takes place while they are unconscious, the Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The closely watched case involved an Ottawa man and his live-in partner of nine years who engaged in erotic asphyxiation.

In a split 6-3 decision issued Friday, the court restored the man’s conviction for sexual assault for performing a sex act on his girlfriend while she was unconscious.

“Parliament’s definition of consent does not extend to advance consent to sexual acts committed while the complainant is unconscious,” Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote for the majority.

'Like many young men Yang had chosen to decorate his home with pictures of beautiful women - so far so predictable. What was intriguing were the other images - a series of flyers and posters advertising the "Water Villas of Beijing", luxury homes with huge stone columns, surrounded by fountains and pools - a stark contrast with Yang's current circumstances.

He is saving to buy himself an apartment but not just because he wants a nicer home. Here in China there is an intimate connection between Yang's two obsessions.

"If I don't own my own home", he explained to me, "no decent Chinese girl is ever going to consider marrying me."
...
Chinese women are very practical, he told me: "You need to have your own house to be an eligible bachelor, so I have to go through this to be able to afford it."

'Well, perhaps ten times would be premeditate then? The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Tuesday, May 24, in a rare use of its powers ruled that a women who ran over her husband five times with a minivan should not be convicted of first-degree murder according to the Boston Globe.

According to the court, apparently the woman’s mental issues were responsible for the way she killed Richard Rutkowski. Even though the wife called her husband “retarded” and predicted killing him by saying something like: “You will be dead very soon”, the court did not believe this was evidence of premeditation.

The wife began by throwing her husband’s close out the window of a Palmer, Massachusetts building to the parking lot below. She then got into a minivan and drove over her husband who was standing in the parking lot. She then proceeded to back up and run over him again, about five times.'
