'The bottom line, says Venker, is that, "Feminism has sabotaged women's happiness." Worse, she adds, it's flipped male-female relationships upside down. Just one example: Men more than ever are seeking love, marriage and kids while women want independence.
...
The book is controversial, especially in liberal circles, for lines like this: "Unfortunately, once feminism came along, women abandoned their pedestal in droves and decided they wanted to share the man's pedestal with him. They claimed they wanted both sexes on the same pedestal to represent equality and prove men and women are the same. Instead, they found themselves in conflict. Since there isn't enough room on a pedestal for both of them, feminists pushed men off to make room for themselves." She added, "That's not equality. That's matriarchy."

Five Ways That Feminism Has Ruined America

Article here. Excerpt:

'The White House isn't the only arena in which feminists rule. The feminist elite, aka the women in the media, love to interview women who portray themselves as victims. On the "Today" show last week, Americans were introduced to Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, author of the memoir "Hiroshima in the Morning." Published by The Feminist Press, it is the story of one woman's journey toward "self-discovery" ("Eat, Pray, Love," anyone?) after leaving her husband and two boys behind en route to Japan.

During the interview, the sympathy for Rizzuto was palpable. Never mind that this mother admitted on national television that she never wanted her children in the first place. To the feminist elite – the professors, lawyers, journalists, writers, judges, actresses, bureaucrats, psychologists and activists who use their platform to promote their leftist views – women like Rizzuto are victims. "I realized that I had lost myself, and I wanted to give myself priority," she says. So Rizzuto left her husband of 20 years – as well as her two boys, ages 3 and 5.

'A little fantasy editing of this Bloomberg news article article: 

“President Barack Obama said women men have made great some strides toward full equality with men women over the past 50 years, yet more progress is needed to close an economic, college degree, and labor market gender gap.

'As of late there has been a lot of hubbub about gender roles. I can hardly seem to escape the noise about them. Talk of the role of women in society is everywhere. At Iowa State we have a women's studies program that "focuses on the study of issues and scholarship relevant to women and gender, challenges existing systems of knowledge and forges new scholarship based on the centrality of gender as a category of analysis," and "seeks to improve critical thinking and to question prevailing assumptions."

'Durham prosecutors and the State Bureau of Investigation broke state laws and violated both the U.S. and state constitutions as they sought the death penalty against a Durham man in the death of his girlfriend’s daughter 13 years ago, according to a judge’s written order that was signed today.

The state intentionally kept information from the man, Derrick Allen, that would have helped his defense.

Those multiple violations by prosecutors and the SBI were willful, flagrant, deceptive, intentional and fraudulent, according to the order by Durham County Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson, the senior resident judge in Durham.'

Story here. Excerpt:

'She was a rising star in management at General Motors. He was a former top union leader at the car maker’s Oshawa plant. But their romance went up in flames when she was charged with setting his house on fire — with him in it.

“It’s quite a story,” says Jim Hoy, who woke up at 5:30 a.m. to the smell of smoke that day in June 2009. “Nobody believes it.”

Turns out there’s much he didn’t know about the woman he proposed to six months into their love affair, according to Hoy, who says his brother has acquired the movie rights to the tale.

It was only the day before her arrest, Hoy says, that he learned her husband was still very much alive, contrary to what she’d told him.'

A young woman on benefits says she 'can't be bothered' to look for work because it's like being a slave. Sorche Williams, 19, who has been arrested eight times and expelled from two schools, expresses her views in a new BBC3 documentary. In it, she brags about using her parents' and taxpayers’ money to pay for drink on nights out.
...
The workshy teenager, who has a criminal record for attacking a police officer, receives £350-a-month in benefits but admits she spends most of her weekly handout on cheap alcohol at student nights. Williams reveals that she receives her benefits on a Tuesday, which suits her because it is usually student night at bars and clubs and the drinks are cheaper.
...
Williams, who has no qualifications after she was expelled from two schools, is featured in the series Working Girls, which tells of young British women who choose to live on benefits rather than seeking a job.'

'Even as a convicted murderer, Judy Moran put on a show for the cameras.

With a smile and a wave to the assembled media, the gangland widow known for her blow-waved tresses and flamboyant dress headed off to jail on Wednesday for orchestrating her brother-in-law's execution.

Earlier, she looked down, her face reddened and she clasped a tissue in her hands as a Victorian Supreme Court jury declared it had found her guilty of murdering Des "Tuppence" Moran.

She pursed her red lips and appeared stony-faced in a courtroom packed with lawyers and journalists.

At 66, Moran, who has already buried two husbands and two sons to gangland murders, may now spend the rest of her days behind bars for killing off another Moran.'

'ORLANDO -- Orange County Sheriff's deputies say a couple beat a 3-year-old child to death because he peed his pants.

Robin Greinke, 26, and Steven Neil, 33, were arrested Thursday night on charges of child abuse, first-degree murder and child neglect.

Investigators said on Feb. 28 the couple punched and struck the boy for more than an hour after he urinated on himself.

"They were upset with him and they tossed him and spanked him and punched him," said Chris Dillon, a homicide investigator.

After the attack subsided, deputies said Neil and Greinke then ordered pizza and watched a movie.

It wasn't until around 5 a.m. on March 1 that the couple called 911. Greinke told investigators she made the call because her son was wheezing and she couldn't sleep.'

A new shed will do them good. Link to media release here. Excerpt:

'Older and disadvantaged men in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia will soon have more help to meet and find social support with Australian Government Grants for Men’s Sheds.

New sheds will be established in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales with another 16 established Men’s Sheds around the country to receive a grant to assist them to develop and upgrade their workspaces and buy equipment and tools or to employ staff help manage a shed’s operation (see table attached).

Minister for Indigenous Health, Warren Snowdon, said Men’s Sheds play an important role by providing meeting places for men to stay connected within the community, while helping their physical and mental wellbeing.

“Based on the traditional backyard shed, Men’s Sheds provide a relaxed place for men to meet and continue a hobby, learn new skills, or just pop in for a chat and a cuppa,” Mr Snowdon said.

'Are men expendable? After millennia of vigorously hoisting their species to the top of the food chain, is XY now a barrier to additional progress? Has the ball game for “dudes” expired? Will the future be self-reproducing super-women? With males… extinct? Kaguya indicates Yes. In 2004, the first bi-maternal mammal was artificially created in Tokyo via parthenogenesis, a process in which an altered ovum, acting like a sperm, attached itself to another ovum to form an embryo that successfully matured.
...
In the 1970s and 1980s lesbian separatist science fiction writers began imagining methods of creating a sustainable culture without needing men for procreation. In 1975, The Female Man, by Joanna Russ, presented the “merging of ova” in a female society. The Y Chromosome, by Leora Gom (1990), also had females multiply via “ova-fusion,” a procedure eerily forecasting Kaguya’s emergence.
