You know that whole "headscarves are not sexist, it's a choice/act of modesty" strawman used by brainless koran thumpers and bleeding heart hipsters who don't realize what sexism actually is?

Imagine, what if men were indoctrinated to believe they had to wear those superfluous cloths too? Well, these acts of protests do give us a glimpse...

>Health officials in Florida are investigating four cases of Zika that do not appear to be related to travel.

>The four cases were detected in the Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

>Officials are going door-to-door asking residents to provide urine samples and other information in an effort to determine how many people may be infected with the virus. It is possible that someone could unknowingly be infected since 80% of those infected have no symptoms.

>The survey takes into consideration the strong turnout among women voters and weights the sample to reflect a gender turnout that includes 53% women and 47% men.

>In terms of gender turnout, while Oregon men have lagged badly behind women in terms of turnout in the last few election cycles, one might surmise that this is partly because the last two Republicans to run with the GOP nomination have been less than a “man’s man”. This is something you cannot say about Donald Trump, so, if there is anything positive that can be said about the prospect of Trump at the top of the ticket, it could be his ability to motivate non-traditional male voters to come out and pull the lever for him – and for other Republicans down-ticket. If that happens, Pierce stands to gain a great deal.

>The race for President in Oregon remains a dead heat, as it has been over the course of several months of Clout Research polling, with Clinton winning 43% support and Trump winning 40% support. Libertarian Gary Johnson wins 6% and Green Party Candidate Jill Stein wins 3%, and 8% are yet undecided.

A divided Ohio Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional a law that made it illegal for police officers to have sex with minors.
The court ruled 4-3 Thursday that the law arbitrarily added police to a ban on professionals having sex with minors that includes people with authority over children.
It's already illegal in Ohio for people 18 and older to have sex with people under 16.
Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor says the government can't punish a class of professionals like police without making a connection between their job and the crime.
Dissenting Justice Sharon Kennedy says prohibiting police from having sex with minors serves a legitimate state purpose.

>HOUSTON - A Texas judge on Tuesday dismissed the last remaining charge against two California anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood.

>District Judge Brock Thomas dismissed the tampering with government records charge against 27-year-old David Daleiden and 63-year-old Sandra Merritt upon the request of the Harris County prosecutor's office.

>Defense attorneys said the pair never should have been indicted. If they had been convicted of the felony charge, each could have been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

>The Center for Medical Progress is the pro-life group behind the Planned Parenthood videos released last summer that showed employees negotiating the sale of fetal body parts. Instead of seeking punishment for the pro-abortion organization, a Texas grand jury chose to indict the two investigators behind the videos, arguing they broke the law by tampering with a governmental record, using fake identities, and were guilty of a misdemeanor charge of attempting to buy aborted baby organs.

>HOUSTON — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 15 this week to 462.

>A year ago, 876 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have sharply curtailed oil and gas exploration.

>Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 371 rigs sought oil and 88 explored for natural gas this week. Three were listed as miscellaneous.

>Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained 15, California was up by two and New Mexico gained one.

>Louisiana declined by two. Alaska and Kansas each lost one.

>Arkansas, Colorado, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming were unchanged.

>The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

>Apart from the Permian, other additions included three more rigs in Texas’ Barnett shale, two in the Eagle Ford, and one in the Granite Wash in the Texas Panhandle

>Despite this week’s jump, the oil rig count is down 77 percent from its peak of 1,609 in October 2014 before oil prices began plummeting.

>The price of U.S. oil hit a low $26.21 on Feb. 11. The price was hovering below $44 a barrel at noon on Friday, still well down from more than $100 a barrel in mid-2014.

>The Air Force is close to certifying that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is ready for combat, a declaration that would become one of the most significant milestones in the long and tortuous history of the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons program ever.

>After years of delays, cost overruns and controversy, top Pentagon officials could make the decision as early as next week, some 15 years after the program began.

>In an interview, Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle, the head of the Air Force’s Air Combat Command, said the jet fighter would likely be declared combat ready “at the leading edge” of a time frame that begins Aug. 1. Once that happens, he said “they are ready to go.” Still, he said the program remains in its developmental stages, and that officials have continued to find and fix problems. The plane still still due for upgrades in its software in addition to other changes.

>“I’m very, very confident it is going to continue to exceed our expectations,” he said. Declaring the plane’s “initial combat capability is just the beginning. We still have work to do on the airplane, and it will continue to get better.”

>For years, the $400 billion program suffered a series of problems, and the F-35 was derided as “the plane that ate the Pentagon.” In 2014, the engine of one of the jets caught fire as it was preparing to take off, forcing the Pentagon to temporarily ground the entire fleet.

>The U.S. State Department said on Wednesday it is looking into reports that Iran has detained a third U.S. citizen of Iranian descent but declined to provide details.

>"We've seen reports of the detention (in) Iran of a person reported to be a U.S. citizen, and I can tell you we are looking into that," State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters, saying he had no more information to offer.

>The two other U.S. citizens of Iranian descent detained in Iran are businessman Siamak Namazi and his father Baquer Namazi. Iran does not recognize dual nationality, which prevents Western embassies from visiting such detainees.

>Iranian dual nationals from the United States, Britain, Canada and France are behind bars on various charges, including espionage or collaborating with a hostile government. Some are kept to be used for a prisoner exchange with Western countries, according to prisoners, their families and diplomats. (Reporting by Arshad Mohammed; Editing by Sandra Maler)
