A meteorologist who works at a West Virginia television station was accused of shoving a news anchor on Sunday and fracturing her skull. WSAZ-TV weather forecaster Chelsea Ambriz, 26, of Huntington, was charged with misdemeanor battery after she allegedly shoved station anchor Erica Bivens, the Charleston Gazette-Mail reported. Bivens suffered a ruptured eardrum and skull fracture after she was allegedly shoved down by Ambriz, the newspaper reported, citing a criminal complaint. It doesn’t say what caused the dispute or where it occurred.

As a medic I was overawed when I arrived at Ft. Sam Houston. There were SO MANY WOMEN. It was like some sort of strange paradise. At first. I realized very quickly that every OTHER company at 232nd Medical Battalion was as high as 70% female.. Very quickly as our combat deployment approached, I became increasingly convinced that my company was in for serious trouble.. Nothing was done to quell my misgivings when two females in the unit essentially got to sit out the deployment by becoming pregnant right before the deployment. During the deployment those doubts and misgivings became...

While some men may brag about being better drivers, women are officially superior behind the wheel, a new study has found. Confused.com research analysing everything from insurance claims to court proceedings for speeding suggests that female drivers are less likely to make a claim and also less likely to commit an offence. And on average, men have paid £3,327 more for their car insurance over the past decade, the report says. While the gap has narrowed following an EU gender directive banning insurers from rating on a driver's sex in 2012, there is still a difference - with the current...

Oprah Winfrey waded deeper into political waters this summer by promoting the “Shout Your Abortion” movement and its attempts to normalize the killing of unborn babies. The July issue of her “O” magazine featured “Shout Your Abortion” founder Amelia Bonow in its “Inspiration” section, CNS News reports. Bonow, who began the campaign to urge women to brag about aborting their unborn babies, soon will be coming out with a new book by the same title, according to the report. She told the magazine how it all began in 2015: “[W]hen I found out that the House of Representatives had voted...

What are also non-starters are any proposals that essentially take choice and flexibility out of the hands of businesses and the working families that are employed by them—since, as we have already discussed, in a growing and vibrant economy, competition among offered benefits is something that these businesses will use to attract and retain employees, and this is of enormous benefit to America’s workers.Which is why two of the proposals discussed by the Independent Women’s Forum are enormously intriguing—tax credits for employers to encourage the creation of such programs; and the creation of personal care accounts to allow workers...

The accusations that Democratic National Committee vice chairman Keith Ellison sexually abused two women may become the latest case of social mores butting up against religious freedom. DNC chairman Tom Perez reminded critics of Ellison’s behavior that “imposition of Christian standards of behavior on a Muslim man violate the First Amendment protection against government infringement on the free exercise of religion.” “Under Islam, a man has total dominance over a woman,” Perez observed. “First, under sharia law, a woman is effectively only half as human as a man. Using this math, each of the accusers’ testimony is out weighed by...

Sorry, there is no main body associated with this thread, just links that don't work when I post them here. But... the original U. of Wisc. source url above ( http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/GenderStudies/GenderStudies-idx?scope=GenderStudies.DovieHorvitz&type=browse ) does have links that seem to work. Besides, they have a rather ominous copyright warning at the end that I wouldn't want FR or me to run afoul [of]!

It's tempting to think of the beard as a kind of "return to our ancestral roots" (ironic), but it's not quite as simple as that. Don't kid yourself, hairy paleo diet dude who just can't squeeze a shave between CrossFit sessions. Cavemen plucked their beards with clam shells, Little Mermaid-style, exhibiting a degree of care and attention that so many men today seem happy to dismiss. Men throughout the ages have oscillated between beard-having and not-having, from Alexander the Great's shaven soldiers, to the bushy-chinned Victorians. If the men in my life are anything to go by, there are several...

Please answer the title question with as many points as you can come up with. What interpersonal dynamics and actions would make the husband the happiest? Additionally, what would the ideal husband be like, and how should he treat his wife?

9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. 10.) You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. 11.) Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to...

According to recent media accounts, America is in a population death spiral. Open-borders activists have seized on the narrative to promote ever-looser immigration policies.But the narrative is wrong.In fact, women in the U.S. are more likely to be mothers than in the past, and they are having more children, reports the Pew Research Center.The Pew study found that women have 2.07 children during their lives on average – up from 1.86 in 2006, the lowest on record. Family size is also up. In 2016, mothers at the end of their childbearing years had had about 2.42 children, compared with 2.31...

Only yesterday the Democrats in the U.S. Senate were giddy with the idea that Judge Brett Kavanaugh had united the women of America, who would pressure their senators to do him in. But the campaign to confirm Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court is beginning to look like ladies' day at the baseball park. Successfully casting Kavanaugh as Harvey Weinstein will be difficult. Eighteen of the 25 women who have served as Kavanaugh law clerks, who know the judge best, signed a letter (the other seven couldn't sign because of current or pending employment elsewhere) describing "uniformly...

California is moving toward becoming the first state to require companies to have women on their boards — assuming the idea could survive a likely court challenge.

A Georgia woman is behind bars after she allegedly shared pictures of her deceased newborn boy with multiple people and told her ex-boyfriend she hid the body in her freezer, according to multiple outlets. On June 26, Carol June Sautter, 45, was arrested and charged with concealing a death, Cobb County Jail records show. Her ex-boyfriend had called authorities to report she’d allegedly admitted to putting her dead newborn in her freezer earlier in June, according to the Atlantic Journal-Constitution. The Cobb County Medical Examiner’s Office told the Journal-Constitution that it’s unclear whether the baby was born dead or alive,...

For nearly 50 years, the mainstream media and the Democratic Party apparatus have said that "white men" are the most "dangerous voting bloc" because they are "racist, sexist, imperialist, colonialist, traditional, exclusive, too suburban, too rural, too in love with law-and-order, too patriotic, privileged, aristocratic, autocratic". However, it is all junk from the Left. I believe the most dangerous voting group in America today is white suburban women. They are anti-gun to the core, a small handgun makes them scared. I can understand people being afraid of an AR-15 because it is usually held by U.S. Armed Forces, but 10-20...

You know how good a cool shower feels when you come home from a long, sweaty run? Well that shampoo and body wash you love so much could be costing you more if you’re using products marketed towards women—a price discrimination commonly referred to as the “pink tax.” Research confirms this is a real thing. The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) compared the cost of various products sold throughout New York City and found a stark difference between the cost of products marketed to men and those marketed to women. And a 2010 Consumer Reports study found...

Once upon a time, it seemed as though women were encouraged to go through self-defense training. These classes were useful to a point, teaching women various kinds of avoidance tactics like not walking across a college campus at night all by their lonesome. But they were probably best known for teaching women how to fight back. The classes seem to be falling out of favor as some segments of the population think it’s more useful to “teach men not to rape” than to teach women to protect themselves from the dirtbags that haven’t already learned that lesson by the time...

A war monitoring group says Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters seized 36 women and children during simultaneous attacks on the southeastern province of Sweida last week. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Monday that 20 women and 16 children were seized from al-Shobki village in Sweida during the Wednesday attacks. The ambush by suspected ISIS militants left at least 221 people dead. Reports on social media suggest ISIS has sent photos of some of the kidnapped women, most of them from the minority Druze sect prevalent in Sweida, to their families in via WhatsApp. The...

Annie Oakley's hometown in the Wild West (of Ohio) I grew up thinking that Annie Oakley came from the Wild West. I didn't realize she came from the wilds of western Ohio until we spotted a small sign pointing to her gravesite along a two-lane highway near Greenville. We recently re-visited Oakley's gravesite and saw the largest known collection of Oakley artifacts at the Garst Museum. Oakley gained fame traveling the country as the sharpshooting star attraction of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Born Phoebe Ann Mosey at North Star in Darke County...
