Symeon The New Theologian Overcame Christian Gender Disadvantage

By Author Douglas Galbi: Christian men are gender-disadvantaged relative to Christian women. Mary, the first and preeminent Christian disciple, conceived and nurtured Jesus within herself, as all subsequent Christians, including males, were to do. Scripture and Christian tradition figure the Christian Church as feminine — the bride of Christ.[1] The fully masculine man Jesus calls both Christian women and men to love him personally and passionately. With gynocentrism and heterosexuality dominant in human societies, ordinary men tend to be marginalized in the Christian Church and struggle to understand personally God’s passionate love for them. In eleventh-century Byzantium, Symeon the New Theologian understood personally the extreme abasement of God in becoming a male human being. As the revered Trojan epic cycle makes clear, thousands of men’s lives matter less than the life of one beautiful woman Helen. Gyno-idolatry has been prevalent throughout human history. Byzantine society, not surprisingly, was deeply gynocentric, and men’s sexuality was devalued. Symeon probably had his testicles cut off as a youth for career advantage in the Byzantine civil service.[2] Symeon surely understood that God became incarnate as a man, not a woman, to unite the extremes of divinity and humanity as commonly perceived.[3]

U W E, Bristol, Only University In UK With Men’s Officer, Scraps Role After Its Sole Candidate Suffers Harassment

Telegraph caption left: James Knight said that ‘with a heavy heart’ he was standing down

Via Nick, J4MB: This piece in The Telegraph, by a female journalist (what are the chances?):

The only university in the UK with a men’s officer has scrapped the role after the candidate withdrew due to “harassment”. [J4MB: The sole purpose of the speech marks is to denigrate the claim, although the claim is substantiated in the article.]
James Knight put his name forward to be men’s officer at the University of the West of England, but claims he was harassed, and has withdrawn. He was the only candidate in the race.
The University of the West of England told The Telegraph that the position has now been suspended pending review.
The roles of transgender and women’s officers have also been brought in this month.
Knight said he stood to highlight “the poor state of mental health services at UWE” and told a student paper: “I know how deeply mental health issues can run in men and how much of a taboo it can be for men to talk about their mental health.”

Hanna Stotland, Education Consultant, Discusses Crisis Management & Sexual Consent

By Jonathan Taylor: Hanna Stotland presents a unique voice and service. She is an education consultant specializing in crisis management, helping students get back into academia when an event removes them from attendance. Hanna is more pragmatic and realistic than idealistic. Her work involves direct solutions for individual students, rather than broad-scale institutional change. We need people like that.
As we might suspect, over the past several years her work has involved students suspended or expelled after being accused of sexual assault. She doesn’t get involved in who was guilty. In all fairness, in 99% of situations there no way for her to know, and no way for the school to know, either. Schools generally manage individual disciplinary problems from a risk management perspective – at times a political perspective – rather than a justice or human rights perspective. We know this because if they really cared about justice or human rights we would see a lot more due process in university hearings.
Consequently, their conclusions should generally be disregarded as indicative of guilt or innocence.

Misandric Sex Bias In Criminal Justice

Orwellian feminist “some-animals-are-more-equal-than-others” version of equality
By MRA-UK:

1. Motivation  
I had not intended to return to this issue, having addressed it previously on a number of occasions (here and here and here and here and here). But my attention was drawn to a recent academic publication which sparked my interest again. The paper in question was authored by Carly Lightowlers and published in the British Journal of Criminology on 19 October 2018. The purpose of the work was to investigate the effects of intoxication in exacerbating punishment for assault offences, and how this varies according to sex. Its opening sentences are,

“At the time of writing, the UK Government is due to produce a female offenders strategy. Underpinned by conceptions of social and distributive justice and a resounding consensus with the recommendations from the Corston report, it is broadly recognized that responses to women’s offending ought to be gender-specific, respond sensitively to the needs of women and divert them away from custody.”

W.I.T.C.H. Fem’s International Terrorist Conspiracy From Hell

'He thinks it hard to find an honest woman. 
Be n't angry with this fellow, I protest
That many a true word hath been spoke in jest.'
Geoffrey Chaucer

Wikipedia: Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell, shortened W.I.T.C.H., was the name of several related but independent feminist groups active in the United States as part of the women's liberation movement during the late 1960s. The name W.I.T.C.H. was also sometimes expanded as "Women Inspired to Tell their Collective History", "Women Interested in Toppling Consumer Holidays", and many other variations.^[1]

A. Were pussy hats actually satanic symbols, devil horns, orchestrated by W.I.T.C.H.? I jest.

The first WITCH group was established in New York City in October 1968. Its founders were socialist feminists, or "politicos", who had formerly been members of the New York Radical Women group. They opposed the idea advocated by radical feminists that feminist women should campaign against "patriarchy" alone.

Ecuador Says It Won't Intervene With UK Authorities After Assange Lawsuit

By Tyler Durden: As Ecuador struggles to rid itself of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who has become just one more annoyance for the administration of new Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, the country's diplomatic service is taking another step that will help it pressure Assange into hopefully leaving its embassy in London, where he has been holed up for more than 5 years.
On Wednesday, Reuters reported that Ecuador does not plan to intervene with the British government on Assange's behalf in talks over his situation as an asylee in the country's embassy, according to the country's foreign minister. During an interview with Reuters, Foreign Minister José Valencia said that Ecuador's sole responsibility regarding Assange was securing his well-being.
Valencia said he was "frustrated" by Assange's decision to sue the Ecuadorian government in one of the country's court last week over new terms of his asylum.
"There is no obligation in international agreements for Ecuador to pay for things like Mr. Assange's laundry," he said.

Arian Baptistry Mosaic Centered On Jesus’s Penis

By Author Douglas Galbi: Traditional Greco-Roman and Hebrew thought associated a navel with both the center of a man and the center of the cosmos. The Arian Baptistry mosaic, constructed in Ravenna, Italy, about the end of the fifth century, has a circular design. It shows John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan. At the center of the circular design is Jesus’s navel. That design figures Jesus as a divine man at the center of the cosmos.
Leonardo da Vinci’s late-fifteenth-century Vitruvian Man drawing shows a man’s penis at the center of a bounding square. That geometry represents that a man’s penis is at the center of his earthly being. In the Arian Baptistry mosaic, Jesus’s penis is clearly visible in the water of the River Jordan. That depiction emphasizes that Jesus was a fully masculine man like the man of the Vitruvian Man drawing and other earthly men.
Earthly men should not be shamed for having a penis. Nor should a man be forced to make large, arbitrary, and unreasonable financial payments simply because he served a woman with the wonderful functioning of his penis.

Why Trump Cannot Control The American Military

Trump's admirable talk about pulling out of global conflicts is meaningless

By Paul Kindlon: “America hasn’t had a civilian government since the end of World War II”. These were the words spoken to me as a journalist by a man who had served in Military Intelligence after years of intensive Russian language training at the Monterey Institute for International Studies.
For those who don’t know, Monterey has been the academic center for training future Intelligence workers using a pedagogical method developed by the U.S. military. It has been useful not only for providing translators and interpreters for the military, but also the CIA.
The CIA was initially known as the Office of Strategic Services and the OSS was formed as an agency of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Its function was to gather intelligence and generate propaganda. Since its origin, the CIA has operated with a black budget.
