For more than 60 years, the Derbyshire Constabulary Male Voice Choir has proudly represented the force at events all across the country raising thousands of pounds for charity. Meeting every Monday evening at St Mary's Wharf Police Station in Derby, it’s fair to say their association with Derbyshire Constabulary has had everyone singing from the same hymn sheet. But now it’s members, made up of civilians but linked to the force because its singers wear police tunics in live performances, claim they are “no longer wanted”. Because of their refusal to accept female members - a request in a gender equality drive by the force - they are now left looking for a new venue to practice their singing. It has emerged the force's Chief Constable Peter Goodman says he can "no longer support" the organisation, and gave notice that the authorisation for the choir to use "Derbyshire Constabulary" in its name had been revoked. It has left many its members "heartbroken" and believing they are the victims of "political correctness".

What these people want is an automatic right to their truth which something that society or our criminal justice system cannot and should not give them. Rape is a particularly difficult crime to prove in cases where it isn't obvious and some level of consent had taken place at some point (both parties ended up in the same bedroom willingly etc).

(Meredith) – A 13-year-old boy who drew a stick figure holding a gun and another holding two knives was suspended from his North Carolina middle school. The boy’s father, James Herring, said he can’t believe his son received a two-day suspension earlier this month for what he calls a harmless picture. “[He’s] just expressing himself, nothing violent,” Herring told WRAL. “I drew pictures like this…any other person of his age drew pictures like this. It’s nothing to get expelled from school for.”

Sleepy wrote: » If men and women are set to have equal life expectancy, and women smoke at the same rate as men, something else has to balance out the increased propensity of men to die in youthful accidents and the workplace. As the numbers of women in western society that die in childbirth would be trivial (although equally tragic) when compared to the numbers of men dying in the workplace, as a result of risk-taking behaviors or due to violence, something else must be bridging this gap. There are regular media reports that teenage girls and young women are less likely than their male counterparts to engage in regular sporting activities or physical exercise. They'd also be far more likely to use sun beds. I'm simply concluding that those unhealthy habits must be part of the equation.
