Boys aren't doing worse. Girls are doing better. See way back in the 70's when the data came in that girls were'nt doing as well, the government and schools stepped in to improve the situation...now girls are excelling and boys...are the same. The difference is now...feminists are in complete denial that attention should be paid to this fact (because radical feminism is really a special interest group). Please dont ask me for references...just google boy crisis.
As an aside, I wonder what the male/female ratio of teachers were back in the good old days compared to now. I wonder how many boys were diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and and put on drugs for no reason back in the day.
I think the reason men are no longer interested in teaching is the pay. I don't think pay has kept up with cost of living, so although it use to be a profession that could pay the bills, it is now best described as a secondary income. I know many radfems say that because women went into teaching the job has lost respect and pay ...but from my perspective it's economics 101 => supply vs. demand.
"Only rapists can prevent rape" This is a stupid statement. The simple act of locking a door can prevent rape. Why are radfems so against prevention tips ? You might be surprised to learn men and women use prevention all the time to reduce the likelihood of crimes occurring. Talk about promoting rape culture...this is victimhood chest beating...now insert head back into hole in ground.
This is nothing less than humorless feminists keeping the rape culture narrative alive. This list was presented in the context of school is back in session...party on ! Not, how can we make victims feel better ? I am not a rape apologist, but neither am I an idiot apologist. Presenting this list to my teenage daughter would have absolutely zero value....but let's all have a good laugh how clever it is !
You have to give our feminist echo chamber writers credit....along with their blinded followers, they are consistent. If there is evidence that the accuser lied, then she should be arrested and her name released. Assuming that the boys were not released because the DA want to give them a break, that evidence exists. What's left to discuss ?
Speaking of rape ? I'm sensing a trend here. Maybe we can discuss what's happening with female teachers raping their students....now there's an epidemic.
Why do I always get the feeling Joan's primary reason for many of her blog updates is to try to take credit for being right in the past, when in general she has been consistently wrong. And then writes follow up posts which "amplify" her previous posts which are essentially a re-write of previous communications. Joan screamed sexism and misogyny throughout the primaries, while lying about "not making up my mind" about who she supported. She has consistently been hysterical about racism charges and essentially alienated any white male in the country with the exception of the most radical koolaid drinkers. She was flat wrong about statements made by Sotomayer and walked back her own posts on the matter....The pattern is always the same......
All facts except ....that it was a plea deal. When Kate writes a hysterical rant about the following link....then I'll believe it something more than ideology.

Is this a serious post ? All of this information has been available since the recession began. Only the feminists need to be reminded of the facts on a regular basis.
"I've dated quite a number who would happily provide me with money if I were to take care of the babies (though the current crisis makes that a hard situation to imagine, with two incomes becoming more and more a necessity). Run to the hills? Less and less often, in my experience."
The VERY NEXT POST
"To paraphrase a smarter guy that any of us, perhaps it's better to stop taking personal experience as the only guide to understanding the world, and other people"
Ummmm, take some medicine.
That twisting your doing is painful to watch.
I can't speak for ivy league moms opting out, but I can say that most of the stay at home moms in my neighborhood are college educated. So were all three of my sisters. So was my wife. These are all women that "opted out" until their children were in school full time, and then re-joined the work force. So whatever the census says....I think any survey of mid to upper middle class suburbs would lead you to college educated SAHM's....if not, high-powered career gals. But there has always been something about city dwellers that make them ignorant to anything or anybody that's outside the reach of public transportation.
I do not know one stay at home dad personally. That must mean they don't exist !?!
Girl Power !
My hope is this is true....they can get divorced, he can admit paternity, and they can ALL GO AWAY !
My understanding is at least one of the women worked for David Letterman....not just a coworker. I know everywhere I have worked, this is strictly against company rules due to the appearance of quid pro quo. I wonder if David Letterman would be so bold and so honest if he thought his career hung in the balance.
I am glad to see the connection drawn between the number of a woman's sexual partners and future fidelity. This has always been my instinct....but I have been called numerous names on Broadsheet for saying it. Just goes to show, if your pissing feminists off, you probably got it right.
The slut-stud so called double standard is a women's studies hypothesis that you only read about in the feminist echo chamber. It's easy to see why...once you debate any aspects of it, it falls apart like a house of cards.
