'Modern feminism isn’t compatible with science, a biologist wrote on a science blog Wednesday.

Dr. Alex Berezow, a biomedical scientist with a doctorate in microbiology writing on the blog of the American Council on Science and Health, found that much of mainstream feminist theory directly conflicts with modern biology, as it is inherently built on ideas which cannot be proven or refuted.

“Ideology is a double-edged sword. Dedication to a set of beliefs can be admirable, but when it leads to inflexibility and obstinance in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it is a dangerous thing,” Berezow said. “[F]eminism has been built upon ideas that can neither be proven nor refuted, precisely the sort of evidence-free groupthink that typifies unscientific thinking.”

The drivers are women, picking up female passengers with 'See Jane Go' accounts. It's all an effort to make women safer.

Savannah Jordan says, "I don't have to have that little voice in my head saying maybe you shouldn't do this maybe you shouldn't get into this car." The 19-year old says there are plenty of horror stories out there with other rideshare companies.'

'A wave of university rape investigations echoing those brought in under Title IX in the USA is due to be rolled out in Britain.

New guidelines published last week recommend that universities investigate and punish students over alleged sexual offences – even if they are cleared by a court.

A lengthy report by the Universities UK and law firm Pinsent Masons said that institutions should appoint their own investigators and carry out extra discipline after the legal process has ended.

It recommends using a significantly lower standard of evidence than criminal courts, and specifically advises universities to pursue proceedings both when the alleged victim has dropped the case, when prosecutors have dropped it through lack of evidence, and even if the accused stood trial and was cleared.

'A suspended St. John’s University student is alleging gender bias and is suing his school and an affiliated college, claiming they falsely found that he probably sexually assaulted a female student after an evening of Halloween partying last year.

Aaron Wildenborg, of Red Wing, Minn., on Tuesday sued St. John’s and the neighboring College of St. Benedict in federal court, alleging that school officials erred in determinations of whether he had consent for sex and whether the woman was vulnerable because she was drunk.

Wildenborg also contends that the investigation was biased against him because he was prevented from fairly challenging her contentions of what happened that night and that she retreated from her initial allegations.

'Take a Stand Against Censorship

Several weeks ago, we informed you of a new film, “The Red Pill,” exploring many of the issues that FAFNY members care about and profiling the activists working to raise awareness of them.  Now, it has come to our attention that an extremist group has exerted pressure on the movie theater in Melbourne, Australia, where the film was scheduled to be screened, causing them to cancel the screening.  We cannot allow this to happen.  We’ve all worked so hard and waited so long for an opportunity like this to have our views get a fair hearing in the mainstream culture.  They know that they can’t allow this film to become widespread because it’s simply too powerful.  Only the most closed-minded people could watch it without being moved.

Railroading the Innocent: SAVE Calls on University Administrators to End ‘Victim-Centered’ Investigations

WASHINGTON / October 26, 2016 – A report issued today probes a recent spate of lawsuits against universities, and calls on college administrators to stop the use of so-called “victim-centered” investigations to probe allegations of campus sexual assault. The report concludes such methods are “inconsistent with the most basic notions of fairness, repudiate the presumption of innocence, and are likely to lead to wrongful determinations of guilt, thereby increasing schools’ liability exposure.”

'Jackie, the woman who made up a frightening story about being gang raped at the University of Virginia as a freshman, was really committed to her lie when talking to a Rolling Stone reporter.

The taped interview between Jackie and Rolling Stone author Sabrina Rubin Erdely was made public by CBS19 on Saturday, and professor and author K.C. Johnson posted what he believed were the best excerpts. Knowing that the gang rape didn't occur makes Jackie's comments in the tape all the more astounding. Here are some of her oddest remarks:

1. Jackie claimed to see one of her attackers everywhere

"I see him all the time. And I was like, you know, I was like, even places like — I saw him at Barracks Road shopping center," Jackie said. "I was like, that's way off grounds. I've seen him in Wal-Mart before when I'm shopping. Like, I was like, why is it this one guy that I see everywhere?"

'To protest Milo Yiannopoulos’ October 18 speaking event at Clemson University, a professor and a number of Left-leaning students and their respective organizations created the “Anti-Milo Event Committee” to plan a demonstration against the conservative speaker, according to audio recordings gathered undercover.

I spent several weeks infiltrating the group of activists, a combination of left-wing Clemson professors and activists from Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Students were caught on tape referring to Milo as “someone I would like to punch in the throat.”'

'Students at the college who “identify as male” were shown a docudrama about masculinity recently. The film, entitled “The Mask You Live In,” was part of a lesson warning students that the notion of masculinity comes with harmful side effects, as freshman James Goodman told The College Fix.

A young woman in the Boston area — a high school senior — reacted to all of this. “It’s weird that confusion is kind of sought-after in today’s modern world, as if you’re more evolved if you have confusion about your gender or your masculinity,” she told LifeZette. “It’s as if confusion and not knowing who you are is a positive thing now.”
...
Some progressive cultural initiatives embraced by U.S. colleges are silly — think micro-aggressions — and can be laughed off. This one can't. This is using the violent deaths of innocent Americans to push an agenda already wildly supported by the cultural elite. It's the erasure of gender.

'Two recent films, Deepwater Horizon with Mark Wahlberg and Sully starring Tom Hanks, represent something of a breath of fresh air, for both movies feature men who are intelligent, virtuous, and quietly heroic. If this strikes you as a banal observation, that just means you haven’t been following much of the popular culture for the past twenty years.
...
If you think this male-bashing is restricted to cartoons, think again. Ray Romano’s character in Everyone Loves Raymond, Ed O’Neill’s hopeless father in Married With Children, and Ty Burrell's hapless goofball in Modern Family—all are variations on the Homer Simpson theme. Add to all this the presentation of fathers as not just inept, but horrific in Game of Thrones, and the absent, indifferent fathers of Stranger Things.

And I wonder whether you’ve noticed a character that can be found in practically every movie made today? I call her the “all conquering female.” Almost without exception, she is underestimated by men and then proves herself more intelligent, cleverer, more courageous, and more skilled than any man. Whether we’re talking about a romantic comedy, an office drama, or an adventure movie, the all conquering female will almost inevitably show up. And she has to show her worth in a domineering way, that is to say, over and against the men. For her to appear strong, they have to appear weak. For a particularly good case in point, watch the most recent Star Wars film.

'The ‘ol “security concerns” excuse has popped up again, this time regarding an appearance by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at New York University.

The Wall Street Journal reports that NYU officials sent a letter to the school College Republicans informing them that “physical altercations had broken out at previous stops” of Milo’s college tour, and as such his event next month at NYU was canceled.

The letter pointed out that Milo was to appear at a site “near student groups at NYU’s Manhattan campus ‘that are subjects of Mr. Yiannopoulos’ attacks.’”

“Garbage,” Yiannopoulos responded. “The only person really at risk at any of my talks is me,” he said.'

'The nation's largest and most influential anti-sexual-violence organization is rejecting the idea that culture — as opposed to the actions of individuals — is responsible for rape.

“Rape is as American as apple pie,” says blogger Jessica Valenti. She and her sisters-in-arms describe our society as a “rape culture” where violence against women is so normal, it’s almost invisible. Films, magazines, fashion, books, music, humor, even Barbie — according to the activists — cooperate in conveying the message that women are there to be used, abused and exploited. Recently, rape-culture theory has migrated from the lonely corners of the feminist blogosphere into the mainstream. In January, the White House asserted that we need to combat campus rape by “[changing] a culture of passivity and tolerance in this country, which too often allows this type of violence to persist.”

'Yale University’s motto is Lux et Veritas, light and truth. But at Yale today, bureaucrats charged with investigating and punishing alleged sexual misconduct seem less interested in truth or fairness than in scoring political points.

To start, they have expanded the terms harassment and assault beyond traditional legal definitions. Under Yale’s sexual misconduct policy, sexual harassment includes verbal statements that have the “effect” of creating an “intimidating” environment. Sexual assault includes any contact without “positive, unambiguous, and voluntary” consent. According to Yale, consent must be “ongoing” at each stage of an encounter but “cannot be inferred from the absence of a ‘no’ ” or presumed from “contextual factors.”
