Mainly talks about rare instances that happen and a father ends up paying child support. Goes into different examples of these kinds of cases from other states. Also, mentions how Arizona pursue child support cases and treats them differently from custody arrangements.

This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.

Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

This day and age women are redefining themselves in the workplace and world, but one set back that is always occurring is the act of rape. Colleges, women and children, are taught from a young age about rape and the causes. It is unfortunate these statistics are accurate and that women are more often to blame themselves and feel as if they have no where to go to seek help.

I enjoyed this website. I feel strongly about justice for rape. It really is eye opening when you see such statistics displayed visually for one to see. Thank you for sharing.

I really like the use of "trigger words" in education. I don't think it matters if it is used in college or in K12. The whole point is to alert you to a possible trauma causing conversation or topic that could come up in class that could make someone uncomfortable. Unfortunately there are so many triggers in the world today that you could never call out all of them. The teacher made reference to an apple. Who would think that was a trigger? Not I.

Group of women's right supports come to protest a neomasculine group meeting to "legalize rape."

This website explains the statics of sexual assault and violence against native American women on the reservations such as the Alaska reservations. It explains how the tribal laws and the state laws play into wither a person caught for this crime may or may not prosecuted under the law. This website explains how the tribal representatives and congress needs to work together make sure these crimes don't go unpunished even if the person committed the crime does not live on the reservation or married to a woman on the reservation.

I picked this because it mentioned a girl that is a victim of rape and abortion may be an option. This is one case for me when I can support a women's decisions to abort.

Private citizens don't need ammo two or three years in the future.They need it at prices the poor and middle class citizen, who needs self-protection the most, can afford. We don't need single women being raped and murdered because they couldn't afford, or couldn't buy, ammunition for their personal firearm.

As much as our women's rights laws have changed in the past years,other countries have not come as far. Some countries,however,are moving small strides towards better days for women. Lebanon's parliament has repealed their "rape law" which allows rapists to escape imprisonment if they marry their victim. Passing the law is just the first step though,applying the law is going to take time and effort.

This article was quite informative and tragic to read, seeing as women are still being treated as less in other countries. While the United States harbors its own cases of gender inequality, women in other countries are faced with injustices they cannot fight on behalf of misogynistic views. While feminism has grown largely within the United States, it seems to lack intersectionalism, which excludes the rights of women in countries ran by a patriarch. I think that this article displays the wrong in the world that can be acknowledged by men women, feminists and non-feminists.

Many of us have heard about the Brock Turner case and a lot of people aren't happy about the outcome of it. Yes, he was sent to jail, but he raped a woman and the majority of people believe that he didn't get the time in prison (he didn't even go to prison) that he deserved. He was just recently sent home from jail. This article advised that in the past college athletes have committed crimes and were not given the right punishment for them. It also talks about Turner being classified as a sex offender possibly being worse than sending him to prison, which is actually a good point.

This is such a horrible case. It shows you how money and athletes can get away with things.

The U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter that would criticize abortion and end the disgrace of having an abortion under law.

My mother was born to an unwed 15 year old in 1940. My mother was given away in adoption to a family member. My grandmother wanted to have my mom (she had fallen in love with a service man who was killed in German) but her mom wanted her to have an abortion. It was illegal in those days and my grandmother refused to go to the "special doctor." So she was shipped away to a home for girls like her in Chicago to have my mom. My story is different then most. I am a product of a saved baby. Without my grandmother fighting for my mom, myself, my brother, my children, we would be dead. It is harder to speak to a child that survived abortion. No one has the right to tell me that we do not have the right to live. I am so grateful that abortion was illegal. I am so grateful that my beautiful children are alive.We are blessed.

Whenever this issue comes up one thing always pops into my head. My body, my choice. I am a female that was born and raised in the Catholic church and had to listen to this stuff for years. It never made sense to me why so many people try revoking this right from women. If you don't support it, fine. However, to take the option away from women who do want abortion as an option opens up even more negative doors. When women do not have a safe environment to discuss these options and the operation itself is made illegal then women who are desperate are more likely to go to back alley doctors or try to perform their own abortion. This often leads to more deaths among women whether it be from a botched, cheap operation or a horrific infection. It should also be noted that each woman is different. They might want the option of abortion for various reasons. Perhaps something is wrong with the child, and the doctors note it won't live past a couple of days, maybe the woman was raped and ended up pregnant, perhaps the fetus was dying and was also killing the mother, perhaps the woman just doesn't want children. You never know the circumstances of why a woman chooses to have an abortion, and they should never be judged for it or have that right revoked.

Mexico city has a town Tenancingo known for human trafficking. It's so close to home that it's time for more attention to be put toward human trafficking. Taking young girls as young as 12 is horrifying. There are young girls in the united states that deal with being trafficked as well. These are mothers, daughters, nieces, and people who don't need to be put through such a traumatizing event. When human trafficking is brought up corruption comes to mind as well. There comanly seem to be police, judges, and political figures within trafficking. These girls need help but it's hard to see where the help will come from.
