Despite making some significant gains in recent decades, women are still struggling to crack the glass ceiling that hangs above the halls of Canadian academia, recent statistics indicate.Fathers claim inequities in family court.
The issue is especially stark in the higher ranks, where female professors are both underrepresented and paid less than their male counterparts. Prof. Janice Drakich, director of faculty recruitment and retention at Ontario's University of Windsor, said the data suggest other factors are at play. "Systemic discrimination is alive and well in the academy," Drakich said in an interview. "It's not going to correct itself."
Dad wasn't dad after all, but still owes child support:
Sixteen months after his divorce, Richard Parker made a devastating discovery. A DNA test revealed that his 3-year-old son had been fathered by someone else.
Mr. Parker immediately filed a lawsuit claiming fraud by his apparently unfaithful ex-wife. He took his case all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.Last week, the Florida justices ruled 7-0 against him. They said that Parker must continue to pay $1,200 a month in child support because he had missed the one-year postdivorce deadline for filing his lawsuit. His court-ordered payments would total more than $200,000 over 15 years to support another man's child.
"We find that the balance of policy considerations favors protecting the best interests of the child over protecting the interests of one parent defrauded by the other parent in the midst of a divorce proceeding," writes Justice Kenneth Bell for the court. "We recognize that the former husband in this case may feel victimized,".
In effect, the high court is saying it's partly Parker's fault for trusting his wife.

Onko moraalisesti näin arveluttavia päätöksiä oikeasti järkevää tehdä? Normaali mies tekisi jo äkkipikaistuksissaan vähintään $400,000 yhteiskunnalliset vahingot moisen päätöksen jälkeen.

Italialaisen naisen seksimatkailu sai karmean lopun:
2 Italians Stoned to Death on Cape Verde

ROME (AP) -- Three Italian women were brutally attacked while vacationing on a resort island off the coast of West Africa, dragged into the woods, pelted with stones and left for dead at the bottom of a hole, the sole survivor said Saturday.
The bodies of two of the women were found half-buried near a beach Friday in the Cape Verde islands, police officer Vladmir Silva said.
Preliminary autopsy results found the victims, aged 28 and 33, died as a result of head injuries from blunt and sharp objects, the Portuguese news agency Lusa reported. Cape Verde police said official autopsy results were expected to be released Sunday.
Police chief Oscar Tavares said three local men had been arrested and would soon appear in court, Lusa reported.
The women were part of a surfing group that arrived in the islands last Sunday for a weeklong vacation, said Italy's honorary consul in Cape Verde, Luigi Zirpoli. The survivor _ whom Italian news reports identified as a 17-year-old named Agnese _ suffered fractures and needed 18 stitches in her head, Zirpoli said.
Speaking with Italy's Sky TG24 TV from a hospital Saturday, Agnese recounted how she and the two other women had been invited to dinner by one of their attackers _ a man who apparently had had a relationship with one of the victims.
She said the attackers sprayed the women with something and immobilized them before taking them to the woods where a hole had been dug in the ground. Speaking in a stunned voice, she said they were pelted with stones and she blacked out. When she awoke, she climbed out of the hole and walked down a road until she found help.
"I don't know how I managed to recover after he threw a stone at my head," she told Sky.
The story of the attack has shocked Italians, many of whom consider the archipelago a paradise for beachgoers and windsurfers.
The Italian Foreign Ministry said the two women had been "barbarously murdered" and dispatched a diplomat from its embassy in Senegal "to ensure that those responsible for this tragic aggression are brought swiftly to justice."
Italian Premier Romano Prodi said he was "stunned" and "aghast" by the killings, the Italian news agency Apcom reported.
Cape Verde, a former Portuguese colony, is located about 500 miles to the west of Senegal's capital, Dakar, in the Atlantic Ocean.
Ilmeisesti ideana on tehdä avioliitosta ja lapsien tekemisestä niin riskialtista puuhaa että siihen ei kohta suostu hullukaan. Feminismi saavuttaa lopultakin päämääränsä: länsimaalaisen sivilisaation tuho.

Voi jumalauta.
Kaikkihan nyt sen tietää, että naisiin ei ole luotamista, lol.

Tähän ei ole juurikaan lisättävää, kuten ei Moilasenkaan kommenttiin. Sen verran kuitenkin, että kun tuollaisia korkeimman oikeuden sylkäisemiä kommentteja alkaa entistä enemmän nykyisin kuulua ja niistä saa lukea, pitää päätä pyöritellen ihmetellä mihin oikein ollaan menossa.
Alkaa konkretisoitumaan päätös pistää putket poikki. Naimattomuus- ja pariutumattomuuspäätös saa seuraa lapsettomuuspäätöksestä.
"Kaikkihan nyt sen tietää, että naisiin ei ole luotamista, lol."
Joojoo, mutta pointti onkin siinä, että asiasta on olemassa nyt tästä edespäin Korkeimman Oikeuden Virallinen Lausunto / Päätös. Ainakin Jenkeissä.
