![]() ![]() In short, sports just aren’t “fun” any more. Equipment, and even uniforms aren’t funded for many girls’ programs at the same levels as boys so their ability to grow and enjoy the sport is diminished. The availability of quality, trained coaches may be lacking in their community or these coaches may be more focused on the boys’ programs that have more money for training. The facilities are not as good as the boys’ venues and the playing times may not be optimal. Why they drop out:ĭecreased quality of experience. As girls grow up, the quality level of their sports experience may decline. Sports are an asset to American families, fostering communication and trust between parents and children. During socially fragile adolescence, the fear of being tagged “gay” is strong enough to push many girls out of the game. Girls in sports may experience bullying, social isolation, negative performance evaluations, or the loss of their starting position. ![]() Social stigma. Despite recent progress, discrimination based on the real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity of female athletes persists. Girls active in sports during adolescence and young adulthood are 20% less likely to get breast cancer later in life. And if there isn’t a safe option like carpooling with other families, the only option for a girl and her family may be to stay home. Safety and transportation issues. Sports require a place to participate – and for many girls, especially in dense urban environments, that means traveling to facilities through unsafe neighborhoods or lacking any means to get to a good facility miles away. Through sports, girls learn important life skills such as teamwork, leadership and confidence. Often there is an additional lack of access to adequate playing facilities near their homes that makes it more difficult for girls to engage in sports. Lack of physical education in schools and limited opportunities to play sports in both high school and college mean girls have to look elsewhere for sports –which may not exist or may cost more money. Lack of access. Girls have 1.3 million fewer opportunities to play high school sports than boys have. Read on to learn more about how these factors influence girls’ sport experiences and why they need to stay in the game. 1Through more than 25 years of research, the Women’s Sports Foundation has identified key factors which contribute to this alarming statistic. By age 14, many girls are dropping out of sports at two times the rate of boys. ![]() ![]() ![]() The dossier was compiled by retired British spy Christopher Steele. The FEC concluded that the Clinton campaign and DNC misreported the money that funded the dossier, masking it as “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting” instead of opposition research.

Trump brazenly asks Putin to release dirt about Biden's family (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) Evan Vucci/AP Mark Pomerantz, a prosecutor who had been leading a criminal investigation into Donald Trump before quitting last month, said in his resignation letter that he believes the former president is "guilty of numerous felony violations" and he disagreed with the Manhattan district attorney's decision not to seek an indictment. This story has been updated with additional information.ĬNN’s Veronica Stracqualursi and Christina Carrega contributed to this report.FILE - President Donald Trump arrives at the White House in Washington, on Dec. The most recent grand jury subpoenas for documents came after Durham charged Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann with lying to the FBI in a September 2016 meeting.ĭurham was appointed special counsel by former Attorney General William Barr in October 2020, but kept it secret so as not to interfere in the 2020 election. In September, Durham issued a new set of subpoenas, including to a law firm with close ties to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, an indication that he could be trying to build a broader criminal case, according to people briefed on the matter.īut so far, Durham’s two-year probe into the FBI’s Russia investigation hasn’t brought about the cases Republicans hoped it would. The New York Times first reported Danchenko’s arrest. ![]() Attorneys for Danchenko did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The call with the chamber of commerce president was a reason the Steele dossier noted a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” between the Trump campaign and Russia.ĭanchenko appeared in the Eastern District of Virginia later Thursday and was released by the federal court judge on a $100,000 unsecured bond. In another, prosecutors suggest Danchenko made up an anonymous phone call he said he believed came from a Russian-American chamber of commerce leader. “PR Executive-l maintained historical and ongoing involvement in Democratic politics, which bore upon PR Executive-l’s reliability, motivations, and potential bias as a source of information,” the indictment states. In one instance, prosecutors accuse Danchenko in FBI interviews of hiding that a US-based PR executive with ties to Democratic politics was a source of his and helped him network for Steele’s work. The indictment also fleshes out alleged lies related to two of Danchenko’s supposed interactions. The Trump dossier produced by Steele “as well as information collected for the reports by Danchenko, played a role in the FBI’s investigative decisions and in sworn representations that the FBI made to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court throughout the relevant time period,” the indictment says. The indictment unsealed Thursday specifically faults Danchenko for contributing information that became part of the FBI’s foreign intelligence surveillance warrants on Page. ![]() In a move that the Justice Department inspector general later found issues with, the FBI used Steele’s dossier to obtain a foreign surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Trump has denied such an episode ever occurred. The dossier, which many of the claims in it were never proven, became one of the most controversial parts of the FBI’s 2016 investigation into Trump and Russia, known as “Crossfire Hurricane,” which led to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.Īmong the salacious claims Danchenko has said he passed on was that the Russians had a tape of Trump with women that became infamously shorthanded as the pee tape. He was charged with five counts of making false statements to the FBI, according to the indictment that was unsealed Thursday, and faces up to five years in prison for each count.ĭanchenko was a key source of information used by former British intelligence operative Christopher Steele in a dossier that alleged Trump was compromised by ties to Russia ahead of the 2016 election. Igor Danchenko, a Russian analyst who was a source for the 2016 dossier of allegations about former President Donald Trump, was arrested and indicted Thursday for allegedly lying to the FBI, as part of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation. ![]() ![]() Irregular periods: It is common for periods not to begin at the same time in each cycle.If someone has PMS-like symptoms but their period does not arrive when they expect it to, there are several potential explanations, such as: Researchers believe this is what causes PMS symptoms.

![]() ![]() Journalist Caitlin Dewey argues that the main tenets of the manosphere can be reduced to (1) the corruption of modern society by feminism, in violation of inherent sex differences between men and women and (2) the ability of men to save society or achieve sexual prowess by adopting a hyper-masculine role and forcing women to submit to them. In particular, feminists are portrayed as ignoring male victims of sexual assault and encouraging false rape accusations against men. While the specifics of each group's ideology sometimes conflict, the general ideology of manosphere groups centers on the promotion of masculinity, strong opposition to feminism, and misogyny. According to media scholar Debbie Ging, subgroups such as MRAs and PUAs "exaggerate their differences in displays of infight posturing, in spite of the fact that their philosophies are almost identical". Some groups within the manosphere have adversarial relationships with one another. The manosphere is a heterogeneous group of online communities that includes men's-rights activists (MRAs), incels (involuntary celibates), Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), pick-up artists (PUAs), and fathers' rights groups. Jane writes that the manosphere was well established by the time of the GamerGate controversy in 2014, and misogynistic language such as graphic rape threats against women had entered mainstream discourse, being deployed by men not necessarily identified with any specific manosphere group. She hypothesizes this was related to the advent of Web 2.0 and the rise of social media, in combination with ongoing systemic misogyny within a patriarchal culture. Jane identifies the late 2000s–early 2010s as a "tipping point" when manosphere communities moved from the fringes of the Internet towards the mainstream. The term entered the popular lexicon when news media began to use it in stories about men who had committed acts of misogynist violence, sexual assault, and online harassment. It was subsequently popularized by Ian Ironwood, a pornography marketer who collected a variety of blogs and forums in book form as The Manosphere: A New Hope For Masculinity. ![]() The term, a play on the word " blogosphere", is believed to have first appeared on Blogspot in 2009. Groups now considered to be a part of the manosphere, such as the men's rights movement, predate the term "manosphere". The manosphere grew out of social movements such as the men's liberation movement of the 1970s and 80s. Some sources have associated manosphere-based radicalization with mass shootings motivated by misogyny. It has also been associated with online harassment and has been implicated in radicalizing men into misogynist beliefs and the glorification of violence against women. The manosphere overlaps with the far-right and alt-right communities. Communities within the manosphere include men's rights activists, incels (involuntary celibates), Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), pick-up artists (PUA), and fathers' rights groups. The manosphere is a collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism.
