'Teenage boys face investigation by anti-terrorism officers if they make sexist remarks in the classroom, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The Home Office is considering plans to allow teachers to report misogynistic comments to the government's Prevent programme, which was set up to combat Islamic extremists. Even comments about a 'woman's place being in the kitchen' could be enough to spark a referral to the unit, sources said last night.
Critics say the move would dilute Prevent's work in deradicalising potential terrorists at a time of huge global tensions.

'From 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea', woke campaigners have taken offence to many beloved books.
Now, scientists claim that even our school textbooks are sexist.
Researchers from the UK's Center for Global Development analysed the contents of 1,255 textbooks from 34 countries around the world.
They found that the textbooks mentioned women half as often as men and were far less likely to describe their careers and achievements.'

'“Everything is changing as the population expands. People may not manage to follow the cultural processes,” he said, citing the economic hardship and commercialization he said were diluting the communal aspect of Imbalu. “But we are fighting through the clan system that (Imbalu) remains intact.”
But the Ugandan government’s intervention has raised eyebrows among many Bamasaaba and underscored angst over the most important ceremony for this ethnic group of four million Ugandans. Some who spoke to the AP said they felt the Umukuuka, in his first year in office, was trivializing Imbalu by exposing it to outside interests.

'A Palm Beach County jury awarded a boy $100 million in a medical malpractice case after a failed circumcision he received as a newborn by Dr. Berto Lopez of West Palm Beach.
According to the lawsuit filed by the boy’s family, Dr. Lopez butchered the infant’s surgical procedure on February 15, 2021, ten days after the Florida Board of Medicine revoked his medical license.
“At first, I didn’t really know what was going on. I wanted to believe the doctor because he said he hit an artery, and that’s why all the bleeding was happening. It was fairly quickly that we realized that he committed such a horrible injury on our son,” said the Riviera Beach father, who we’re not identifying to protect his son’s identity.
“The damage is almost the entire head of the penis has been transected or amputated,” Cohen said. “In the records it says, more than 50%."'

'Aside from all the ways that men play the role of American culture’s scapegoat (“toxic masculinity”), mainstream American life is deeply feminine (as is much of modern American evangelicalism). The feminine gaze is the operating assumption of modern life. To partake in polite society requires adopting a feminine instinct to operate in today’s mainstream. One must cater virtually every message to the whims of the most important demographic: suburban women.

'A Minnesota mother of two admitted to sexually abusing a pair of 15-year-old hockey players whom she met in a hotel hot tub during a “staycation” with her husband and children.
Allison Schardin, 39, pleaded guilty on Friday to third-degree criminal sexual conduct after she pleaded not guilty to the disturbing allegations in May, according to reports.
Schardin, of Blaine, was at a hotel with her spouse and two children on Jan. 14 when she spotted the two teen athletes, who were traveling from Colorado with their team, and struck up a conversation with them, according to a complaint obtained by Law & Crime.
While she was with the boys in the hot tub, her husband yelled, “If you don’t come upstairs, our relationship is over,” the complaint states.
Schardin exchanged contact information with the victims and later texted one of them to see if she could come to his room after getting into a fight with her husband.

'A University of Kansas professor is on administrative leave after a viral clip circulating social media Wednesday showed him calling for men who refuse to vote for a female presidential candidate to be shot.
The professor in the clip appears to be addressing a lecture hall full of students. He bluntly tells the students that men who underestimate a woman’s ability to lead the country should be shot, arguing "they clearly don't understand the way the world works."
“It’s what frustrates me, there are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president,” he says. “We can line all those guys up and shoot them.”
The professor then adds, “Scratch that from the recording, I don’t want the dean hearing that I said that.”'

'“When will I see the doctor?” Most female doctors have been asked this question many times. It feels like a slight — a failure to recognize the struggle it took to get to where they are, a fight that is far from over once a woman has her medical degree.
Women now make up more than half of medical students but only about 37% of practicing doctors. That is partly because the makeup of the medical workforce lags that of the student body. But it’s also because persistent sexism drives higher attrition among women in medicine.
...
That’s unfortunate not just for doctors but also for patients. On the whole, female doctors are more empathetic, detail-oriented and likely to follow through than their male counterparts. In other words, they are better doctors.
Admittedly, that is a generalization, but it’s one worth making. I experienced it firsthand working with female colleagues, and I’m informed by that experience in addressing my own medical needs. I prefer to see female doctors.'

Article here. Needless to say, if these were female athletes, there'd be no question but that camera-wielding reporters could not be allowed in the locker rooms. Excerpt:
'On Thursday, some individual players and at least one club -- the Cincinnati Bengals -- announced they would not be doing interviews in their locker room going forward.
"As you've heard from a couple of teams now and the NFLPA is going to come out with a statement, in an effort to protect the sanctity of the locker room and the comfort of the players, each team is going to figure out a program to where we conduct our interviews outside of the locker room," said Bengals center, Ted Karras, the team's union representative.
...
But what has caused the change in how players view this policy has come in recent years when electronic media captured interviews on camera, and sometimes caught players in compromising states of undress.'

'Today, however, acting justice Stephen Marshall of the supreme court overturned the tribunal’s order, ruling that the Ladies Lounge was not discriminatory.
The “intention was to promote equal opportunity by drawing attention to present and past societal disadvantage to women by providing them with the concept of a ‘flipped universe’,” Marshall said. “[It provides] women with a rare glimpse of what it is like to be advantaged rather than disadvantaged.”
He pointed out that the tribunal failed to consider structural discrimination related to women’s status in Australia. The case will return to the tribunal for reconsideration.
“The [Supreme Court] judge’s verdict demonstrates a simple truth: women are better than men,” Kaechele proclaimed on Instagram after hearing of the decision. “The judge sided with the arguments put forward by our all-female team.”'
