'New research into cyberaggression suggests women are more aggressive than would be believed from research conducted in the real world1,2. Any genderised discussion of aggression is always sensitive, as this issue engenders strong views and is highly politicised. In fact, the politicisation of aggression and violence may be an indicator of one of its roles and causes in society3. Yet discussion of aggression, even cyberaggression, is often built on a foundation focused on males as archetypal perpetrators4-6. However, a study of female digital aggression casts doubts on assertions that aggression is programmed, and more commonly emitted by males. Rather, digital behaviour suggests women are not programmed to be passive, but are just as actively aggressive as men, and, in some circumstances, more so.'

'New government investment will enable women’s centres and charities across the country to deliver vital specialist help to female offenders, the overwhelming majority of whom are themselves victims of crime.
The multi‑year package represents a 50 per cent increase in funding to help women get clean, find work and accommodation, and move away from abusive relationships.
This support is key to cutting crime with evidence showing how more than two‑thirds of women in custody report being victims of domestic abuse, a factor which is a known indicator of crimes.
Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy said:
Punishment must help women break away from lives of crime, not send them back to a prison cell time and again, disrupting their own lives and those of their children.

Article here. Excerpt:
'The ‘National Board of the Norwegian Association for Women’s Rights’ put forward three arguments against female conscription in 2013. Firstly, that incorporating women into the draft is a “misconceived equality”. Economic and social gender gaps are still wide, and this conscription would, in their view, worsen it. Secondly, that militarising women does not legitimise the practice of conscription. Conscription has its own problems that need to be resolved without bringing in a new group to be subject to it. The military would still be male dominated regardless of if more women were involved, this needs to be solved before women can be brought into it by force. Thirdly, they argue in favour of non-violence. They believe that disarmament for both men and women is a more crucial goal than increasing those militarised by including women.

'A woman has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after falsely accusing 10 men of raping her.
Stacey Sharples, 31, from Farnworth in Bolton, pleaded guilty on Monday at Bolton Crown Court to 10 counts of perverting the course of justice.
The allegations were made between 2013 and 2019, with most of the men arrested and spending time in custody, including some undertaking intimate examinations, said Greater Manchester Police.
They added that a number of the men lost their jobs or partners, were disowned by family and friends, or saw declines in their mental health after being falsely branded a rapist.
Greater Manchester Police said the investigation into Sharples began after lines of inquiry "consistently" revealed evidence contrary to what had been disclosed by her.'

Article here. Plenty of women fit the profile of being as this article describes too-- so why call out men specifically in the title? IMO this is a form of male-baiting. Excerpt:
'Many Americans believe that vaccines are unsafe, but will jab themselves full of performance enhancers. They think seed oils cause chronic disease, but beef tallow is healthy. They’ll say you can’t trust federally insured banks, but you can trust the millionaires who want you to invest in their volatile vaporware crypto tokens. They think food additives are toxic but support an administration removing all restrictions on pumping pollutants into air and water. They’ll insist that you can’t trust scientists, because they’re part of the conspiracy. The podcaster selling you his special creatine gummies, though? He seems trustworthy.'

'A police constable who reported late for duty falsely claimed it was because she had been sexually assaulted by a fellow officer.
Lauren Evans, 34, said a plain-clothes cop in an unmarked car stopped her while she was driving in March 2023 and falsely claimed he was called 'Watson.'
The next day, innocent PC Alex Watson – who Evans had never met – was arrested in front of his wife and children as they arrived home from a wedding.
By coincidence, Mr Watson was driving an unmarked car in the area where Evans, from Kent, alleged the attack had occurred.
He was arrested and spent 23 hours in custody before detectives established that Evans had made up the allegation.'

'A 31-year-old mother is facing jail for meeting men on dating apps and falsely accusing them of rape in a 'wicked pack of lies'.
Stacy Sharples admitted to making up the allegations against ten men, many of whom spent hours in police custody and months on bail.
She even bragged to one of her victims that the police were 'not pressing charges. I've got away with it. Yet again.'
None of the men she accused were charged.
Her false allegations cost the taxpayer a 'conservative estimate' of £120,000 due to wasted police, legal and medical time, Bolton Crown Court heard.'

Summary in this .pdf here. Excerpt:
'On average across the countries surveyed, three in five (60%) agree that things would work better if more women held positions with responsibilities in government and companies. A similar number also note that women won’t achieve equality with men in their country unless there are more female leaders in business and government (54%).However, around half (52%) believe that when it comes to giving women equal rights with men, things have gone far enough in their country. More than four in 10 further say that men are being expected to do too much to support equality (46%) and that we have gone so far in promoting women’s equality that we’re discriminating against men.'

'This amazing petition is the heartfelt work of Nadine Lewis, Esq., her staff, and a few attorney friends, especially Al Rava and David Pisarra, all of whom believe strongly in equal treatment and civil rights.
The Supreme Court declined our 2013 petition in National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service because Congress was already reconsidering the male‑only draft and the Court traditionally defers to the political branches on military affairs.
That legislative effort collapsed in 2021 when Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and Marco Rubio threatened to block the entire National Defense Authorization Act if it included women in Selective Service, which it did. Their opposition forced negotiators to strip the reform, leaving the discriminatory system intact and giving the Court a reason to avoid intervening while Congress remained “active” on the issue.'

Humorous but thoughtful commentary by Scorched Earth Policy (here):
The word goonbait upsets women because it rips away a delicate curtain of deniability which has upheld the economy of casual sex for the last century or so. None of the women defending the open tongued Olympian here are part of her generation. They question why "Porn addicts have to sexualize everything" because they're operating from a framework that depends on upholding the structure of civility the term violates. They're either ignorant of the signalling or complicit in trying to normalize it as a nonsexual expression. ...
What women think is happening is that men are sexualizing a young girl. What's actually happening is that men are instinctively critiquing a young girl unconsciously sexualizing herself through an innocuous expression, and by extension, critiquing the steady decline of societal standards that has been occurring since at least the 18th century.
Full comment is here.

'This week, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) and Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC) introduced the State of Men's Health Act (H.R. 7602).
The bill would require the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study on the state of men’s health in the United States and issue a report to Congress on the results, including health disparities experienced by men.
It would also require the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create an Office of Men’s Health and submit a report to Congress following the creation of the office, detailing findings on men’s health and recommendations to improve men’s health outcomes.'

The judge had ordered the Loudoun County School Board and the students to mediation. Court records show that a settlement was reached between the two parties.
Early last year, 7News was the first to report on how Loudoun County Public Schools investigated male students for Title IX sexual harassment after they questioned why a female student was using the boys’ locker room. The female student recorded the male students in the locker room, which is against school policy.
