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.

Thanks again to the Innocence Project! Story here. Excerpt:

'(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.'

'SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Circumcising a boy under the age of 18, even for religious reasons, may soon be against the law in Santa Monica.

A proposed ban on circumcision is already on the November ballot in San Francisco.

Now supporters of the MGM Bill, which stands for male genital mutilation, are hoping to do the same in Santa Monica.'

Article here. This is another example of female politicians thrusting themselves and women in the role of victim. As a result, they blame every man who doesn't agree with them. An example of their arrogance is evident when Rep. Senfronia Thompson told the men if they don't stand up for women, they shouldn't show up in the chamber tomorrow. Her comments were met with applause. Excerpt:

'AUSTIN -- A dramatic scene played out on the House floor Thursday when several female state representatives complained of a disrespectful and insensitive attitude toward women in the chamber.

Via email: This new study (.pdf file) on statutory rape laws found minor teens are being prosecuted and labeled "sex offenders" for consensual close-in-age sex with each other, and some states only prosecute the boys. For example, in Arizona a 13-YO boy was convicted of having consensual sex with his 15-YO girlfriend. In Texas a 17-YO boy was given 10 yrs in jail for consensual oral sex with a 15-YO girl.

Article here. I wonder if this 'early learning initiative' is just an attempt to increase the number of boys taking ADHD drugs in order to assimilate them to an education system that is geared more towards the biological learning style of girls. Excerpt:

'(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that the administration's new $500 million early learning initiative is designed to deal with children from birth onward to prevent such problems as 5-year olds who "can't sit still" in a kindergarten classroom.

“You really need to look at the range of issues, because if a 5-year-old can’t sit still, it is unlikely that they can do well in a kindergarten class, and it has to be the whole range of issues that go into healthy child development,” Sebelius said during a telephone news conference on Wednesday to announce the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge.'
