12 AnswersGender & Women's Studies9 years agoDoes microcredit unfairly favour women?
And unfairly discriminate against men?
"Lending to women has become an important principle in microcredit, with banks and NGOs such as BancoSol, WWB, and Pro Mujer catering to women exclusively. Though Grameen Bank initially tried to lend to both men and women at equal rates, women presently make up ninety-five percent of the bank’s clients. Women continue to make up seventy-five percent of all microcredit recipients worldwide. Exclusive lending to women began in the 1980s when Grameen Bank found that women have higher repayment rates, and tend to accept smaller loans than men. Subsequently, many microcredit institutions have used the goal of empowering women to justify their disproportionate loans to women."

Transgender German Girl Faces Being Institutionalized By Father Who Rejects Her Gender Expression
International lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights activists are expressing concern over reports that an 11-year-old German transgender girl is in danger of being institutionalized.
Though exact details on the case are slim (at least in the English language media), International LGBTQ Youth and Student Organisation (IGLYO) declared their support for the girl and her mother yesterday. The girl, identified by various media outlets only as "Alex," reportedly lives with her mother, who is supportive of her daughter, in Berlin. However, Alex's father, who is divorced from her mother, reportedly "rejects this view of his daughter's gender identity and wants to force her to grow up as a boy."
"If all else fails," Pink News noted, "there is a real and present possibility that pressure from her father, supported by the Youth Welfare Office in Berlin, means that Alex will shortly be confined in a closed ward of a psychiatric institution to ensure that 'he' returns to 'normality.'
Alex reportedly gave an interview to a German lifestyle publication earlier this month in which she stated that she has not only identified as female for as long as she can remember, but she is also accepted as female at school, where she has been registered as such from her earliest days there.
Meanwhile, Alex's father has reportedly insisted on calling his daughter "Alexander" and forcing her to wear boy's clothing. He is now believed to have gained the support of Berlin's Youth Welfare Office and is in the process of removing Alex from her mother's home.

10 AnswersGender & Women's Studies9 years agoWhat do you think of this fathers' rights case?
"I have a son who is 7 years old and I pay his mother child support weekly. I never see him and have been alienated by his mother. I received a letter from his mother that she wants to change his last name, which is currently mine, to her married name. I replied that I would allow this if she drops the child support order. Can someone fill me in on family law? Would i have to give up my rights as a father in order to do this? I refuse to have my son walking around with another mans name and still be required to pay child support. Any help is appreciated."
How would you advise this gentleman?
9 AnswersGender & Women's Studies9 years agoIsn't it extremely insulting to men if...?
someone says that the reason that men who go on shooting rampages do so because they are sexually frustrated? And says that the solution is for a woman to have pity sex with them?
It seems to me that it implies that sick and deranged violent men are comparable to normal men and also implies that men in general are twisted and violent.
It also implies a form of threat or blackmail, that women who reject some men sexually for whatever reason are asking for big trouble.
What do you think of people who think that of men who go on shooting rampages, or say they believe this?
BQ: And isn't if funny how such a view puts the blame for violent psychos on women?
