'I won’t spend too much time laying out all the times Clinton and her campaign have implied or stated outright that people should vote for her because she was a woman, because a) there are waaaaay too many examples, and b) I already did that when Bernie Sanders supporter Killer Mike laid similar charges at her door. Here’s just the instance I consider the most egregious, an Clinton ad entitled “44 Boys Is Too Many” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GzGAW7k2V8)

There’s nothing sly about this. There’s no dog whistle or subtext. The Clinton campaign cut an ad that explicitly tells people they should vote for her because she’s a woman, and otherwise little girls would cry.

If Clinton’s appeal to her gender had been isolated to eyeroll-inducing pandering, it would be merely irritating. But she also doesn’t shy away from appealing to her gender to shut down serious questions about her qualifications. Here’s an attack from Sanders in the last MSNBC debate, and Clinton’s response.

SANDERS: …Secretary Clinton has the support of far more governors, mayors, members of the House. She has the entire establishment or almost the entire establishment behind her. That’s a fact. I don’t deny it…

So, Rachel, yes, Secretary Clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way, who are not all that enamored with the establishment, but I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva in the House, the co-chairmen of the House Progressive Caucus.

'For women, this has been particularly difficult because of the claim that we are underpaid compared with men and the notion that we have to work twice as hard to get to a level playing field. The ubiquitous statistic that women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn is a compelling story that points to systemic discrimination against women.

'Some statistics say sexual assault is so common on college campuses that one in four women become victims. That's a number that those at UT's sexual assault conference are debating.

“We are trying to put those statistics in some context. A lot of what is being called sexual assault is not necessarily rape as traditionally defined. Much of this includes things like an unwanted kiss or unwanted touching or definitions of sexual assault that really do not in any way meet the legal definition,” said UT Professor Thomas Hubbard.
...
“A lot of these are resulting in procedures that are very unfair to the accused and we've heard of a number of cases where universities have in turn been sued by male students who were expelled based on investigations that were deeply flawed or failed to take into account key evidence,” said Hubbard.'

'Several free speech advocacy groups are concerned about a Justice Department order that they say forces colleges and universities to violate the First Amendment.

Justice sent a letter to the University of New Mexico in late April concluding an investigation into the school’s sex discrimination policies and practices. In the letter, the agency said the university’s policies failed to account for “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature,” including “verbal conduct,” in violation of Title IX.

According to the letter, federal law defines sexual harassment as “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature includ[ing] unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as sexual assault or acts of sexual violence.”'

'Title IX has now become a “juggernaut” in the words of NYU law professor and Forbes contributor Richard Epstein. He explains in this Hoover Institution article that extremely zealous bureaucrats have abused the law (specifically, the Administrative Procedure Act) to impose their own ideas of what the language “be subjected to discrimination” means. They have managed to turn it into a justification for federal intervention into every aspect of college life that somehow involves sex.

'Former ISU basketball player and 2014 graduate Bubu Palo, who faced rape allegations while in college, is suing Iowa State and the Iowa Board of Regents for what he says was a mishandling of his case.

Iowa State or the Iowa Board of Regents hadn't filed a response to the petition, which was filed March 21, as of Wednesday.

Palo is claiming that ISU officials found him guilty despite insufficient evidence and used the disciplinary system to not give Palo the chance to transfer to another school, according to a petition obtained from the Story County District Court.

Palo also claims in the suit that the wrongful ruling handed down by the university "destroyed" his opportunity to play professional basketball because he was suspended and later benched during his junior and senior years, according to the petition.'

'Last week, the California Court of Appeals ruled against the University of Southern California in a lawsuit brought by a student suspended for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman during group sex.

The encounter had started as consensual, the woman told the university, but soon became violent. The accused student violated Southern California's sexual misconduct policy, the university argued, not by harming the woman himself, but by failing to stop the other men from slapping her and for later leaving her alone with them.

The accused student, according to the court’s decision, was not "provided any information about the factual basis of the charges against him," was not able to examine the evidence supporting the victim's statements and was not allowed to appear before the panel deciding his case.

Article here. Hillary Clinton has managed to make a statement that's not only misandrist, but offensive to Native Americans. Excerpt:

'Did Hillary just admit that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has been a bit of a handful, considering his extracurricular activities with other women, and given her “a lot of experience” dealing with male misbehavior?

“Remember, I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak,” Clinton told CNN’s Jack Tapper Friday.

Her eyebrow-raising comments came during an interview discussing GOP front-runner Donald Trump attacking her as “Corrupt Hillary.”
...
As for men in Hillary’s life going off the reservation, WND has reported extensively on Bill Clinton’s sexual exploits through the years and how the couple even threatened women to stay silent about alleged sexual assaults at the hands of her husband.'

'On Friday, April 29th, parents from across New Jersey will join together in Hackensack to show support and solidarity for Henry Peisch, a 56-year-old Bergen County Father of seven children. Henry Peisch has been incarcerated in the Bergen County Jail since April 8th for failure to pay court ordered child and spousal support.

A march for Henry will be held across from the Courthouse steps around the ‘Green’ on Court Street at 3:30pm. The march coincides with the Bergen Vicinage’s celebration of Law Day.

What is most concerning about the case of Henry Peisch is that only one child currently lives with the Mother, yet Henry is ordered to pay his ex-wife support for four children plus $581 per week in spousal support.

'Major miscarriages of justice often stem from unsound judicial and administrative procedures. Consider the story of Grant Neal, a student on an athletic scholarship at Colorado State University-Pueblo. Neal was suspended for sexual assault after he had consensual sexual intercourse with an unnamed woman. He has now filed suit to challenge that suspension, both against the CSU-Pueblo and the United States Department of Education and its Office for Civil Rights.

He should win, and for good reason. All legal actions begin with complaints, usually from a purported victim. But Neal’s case was different. The charge was brought against him by a “peer” of the woman involved, who, according to the allegations in the complaint, denied that she had been raped. The purported victim told the school investigator: “He’s a good guy. He’s not a rapist, he’s not a criminal, it’s not even worth any of this hoopla.” That should have put an end to the entire matter. Nonetheless, CSU-Pueblo has suspended Neal as long as his alleged victim remains on campus. The stigma of the sanction makes it impossible for him to transfer anywhere else. It is a classic case of defamation by public action, for which recourse is all too difficult to obtain.

'Judge Judy, whose full name is Judy Sheindlen, wrote a book in 1996 titled “Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining,” and it includes a chapter called “Custody Wars are Battles Without Winners.” Here were some of her observations long before there was a strong family court reform movement. Pay special attention to her last comment.

"American fathers are led down a primrose path every day in our family courts, often with disastrous legal results. They wind up in the Land of Gender Bias, where they are systematically stripped of their rights, often without the slightest idea of why it is happening to them."

"If you think the mother-father disparity is outrageous, consider the sexual abuse syndrome, and how it affects visitation and custody disputes. Here, the judicial impotence and chronic blindness to men's rights would appall you."

'The prospect of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) being sued has been much in the news lately. Talk began with an announcement from FIRE—on the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the “Dear Colleague” letter—that it was soliciting an accused student to sue OCR. Attorney Andrew Miltenberg then filed two such suits, on behalf of an accused student from Colorado and a state legislator from Georgia.

In a break from the past, the Dear Colleague letter reinterpreted Title IX to grant the federal government authority to order colleges to enact specific disciplinary procedures for handling sexual assault (and sexual harassment) complaints filed by one student against another. Each of the changes ordered or strongly urged by the administration increased the likelihood of a guilty finding; the best-known change required colleges to use the lowest burden of proof, preponderance of evidence (50.01 percent), to determine guilt.
...
Republicans control 34 of the nation’s 50 governorships; many of these states have been under GOP control for more than a decade. Every state’s higher-ed law is different, but all give at least some control (usually through appointment of trustees) to a governor. Any of these 34 state education boards would have had standing to challenge OCR’s new mandate. Yet none have—a reminder that campus due process has no constituency, and with the exception of Lamar Alexander and James Lankford, the Republican record on this issue is very poor.

'The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill late Thursday that requires colleges and universities in Connecticut to use a standard of “affirmative consent” when developing policies on sexual assault.

Institutional policies also must include clear statements advising students and employees of the affirmative-consent standard. The measure, which passed 138-7 and now heads to the Senate, only applies to institutional disciplinary matters and not to criminal cases.

“It clarifies that a yes-means-yes policy will be the policy for the state of Connecticut for all public and private colleges,” said Rep. Gregory Haddad, D-Mansfield, who serves on the legislature’s Higher Education Committee and who introduced the bill. “The presence of ‘yes’ is required rather than just the lack of ‘no’ ” in determining consensual sexual activity.
