'A Swedish woman accused of trumping up rape accusations while on holiday in Greece exemplifies a persistant view in the Mediterranean country that Swedish women bring false rape complaints to get payouts from special 'rape insurance'.
...
One of the reasons given for the case having been dropped was that it had become common for holidaying women, especially Scandinavians, to say that they had been raped during their stay in Greece to claim insurance money upon their return.
Anna resigned to trying to move on with her life.
But she was later contacted by a Greek public prosecution office, which informed her that she was being countersued for making false rape accusation and libel.'

'Drawing the loudest outcry are a 2006 episode in which frat pledges chanted, "No means yes! Yes means anal!" in front of the Yale Women's Center (a refrain they reprised in 2009), and a 2008 stunt in which frat members posed for a photo in front of the center with a sign proclaiming "We love Yale sluts."
But before you shed a tear for Yale or its feminists, consider the role that both have played in saturating the campus with vulgar sexuality. In an effort to foster "dialogue" and "acceptance" of every possible sexual choice or act, they've drenched students, faculty and administrators in images and vocabulary of graphic sexuality.

'Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) – A man cleared of murder by child abuse charges in two criminal trials has found himself in Family Court, and prosecutors say they won't let him live with his own children until he admits his guilt.
The Family Court case against Victor Fakoya was set before the criminal trials. But his attorney says after the first trial ended in a hung jury and Fakoya was acquitted of criminal charges in the second trial, Child Protective Services showed up at his door and told him to get out.
CPS reportedly told Fakoya that he couldn't live with his two daughters until he takes a child abuse class that ends with an admission of guilt.
Meaning, Victor Fakoya could lose his parental rights if he doesn't admit to a crime for which he's been cleared.

'LAWRENCE, Mass. - A Massachusetts woman convicted of attempted murder for withholding cancer medications from her autistic son was sentenced to eight to 10 years in prison.
Kristen LaBrie wept and expressed remorse before a judge announced her punishment Friday in Lawrence Superior Court. She said she misses her son every day.
Authorities say LaBrie stopped filling Jeremy Fraser's cancer medication prescriptions. The boy died in 2009 at age 9. Prosecutors argued that he had an 85 to 90 percent chance of surviving had he received the proper treatment.
...
Judge Richard Welch said he had sympathy for the "tremendous pressures" LaBrie faced as a single parent raising a severely disabled child. But he said withholding the boy's treatment was "an extended, secretive and calculated act that chills the soul."'

'When Robert Baden-Powell pioneered the Scouts movement a century ago, girls clamoured to join but he insisted that it should be boys only.
So he might be rather dismayed at today’s news: for the first time more girls than boys are joining the scouts.
More than 4,000 girls signed up last year, making them the majority of recruits for the first time since the Scouts widened its scope to include both genders 35 years ago.
...
It was after Baden-Powell decided that Scout troops should not be mixed that the Girl Guides were founded in 1909.
A spokesman for the Scouts said that separation of the sexes was out-of-date now. ‘Most young people go to co-educational schools and Scouts give them an opportunity to work together outside school as well,’ he said.
In the year up to the end of January the Scouts had 4,330 girl recruits and 3,796 boys.'

'A woman who left her maggot-infested mother to rot on the kitchen floor has avoided jail after a judge said his conscience wouldn't allow him to lock her up.
Mary Pyrczak, 51, allowed her 72-year-old mother, Kateryna, to lie dying in her own faeces on the floor of her Melbourne home for a week in November 2008.
Parts of Mrs Pyrczak's body were gangrenous, her foot was infested with maggots, and her toes were blackened and mummified, the Victorian Supreme Court heard on Friday.
Pyrczak, who is an obsessive compulsive and with a longstanding phobia of medical professionals, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter.'

'TUESDAY, April 12 (HealthDay News) -- Men who are victims of domestic abuse by their female partners can develop psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and suicidal thoughts, new research finds.
Researchers looked at a group of 302 men who sought professional help after experiencing what the researchers called "intimate terrorism," which refers to high levels of violence and controlling behavior by female partners.
Another 520 men took part in a telephone survey that asked about their relationships. Sixteen percent of these men said they had experienced minor acts of violence and mental abuse during arguments with their female partners. This type of abuse was referred to as "common couple violence."'

BEIJING — In the realm of eligible bachelors, Wang Lin has a lot to recommend him. A 28-year-old college-educated insurance salesman, Mr. Wang has a flawless set of white teeth, a tolerable karaoke voice and a three-year-old Nissan with furry blue seat covers.
...
But by the exacting standards of single Chinese women, it seems, Mr. Wang lacks that bankable attribute known as real property. Given that even a cramped, two-bedroom apartment on the dusty fringe of the capital sells for about $150,000, Mr. Wang’s $900-a-month salary means he may forever be condemned to the ranks of the renting.

'Two years ago President Obama created a committee by executive order to advise and focus exclusively on the needs and welfare of the American woman. Feminists cheered the creation of a White House Council on Women and Girls but others questioned, why – when women and girls are outperforming men by nearly every empirical measurement – create a council for women but not for men?
...
The White House’s disinterest has frustrated some who see the crisis facing America’s boys as a serious issue.
“The White House has yet to agree to even a meeting on this topic,” council proposal commission member and American Enterprise Institute scholar Christina Hoff Sommers marvelled.
The proposal identifies five major components of the “crisis” facing boys: education, emotional well being, fatherless homes, physical health, and employment.'

'This may be the single most outrageous case I’ve come across. I first wrote about Peter Spitz last December here. He’s the Colorado man whose wife Teresa got up in the wee hours of one morning in 2004, bundled up their young son and took him to a neighbor’s. She then returned to her house, put a pillow over her sleeping husband’s head and shot him with a .38. But he wasn’t dead, so she shot him two more times. Then she murdered his mother who lived with them.
Despite all that, Peter lived. He’s permanently blinded and has lost his sense of smell.
Peter is an ex-marine and an all around stand-up guy. So when Teresa was tried for murdering his mother and attempting to murder him, he testified on her behalf. He thought she was insane and said so under oath. She was acquitted of the charges by reason of insanity.'
