'The state Senate gave final passage Monday to a bill that establishes an affirmative-consent threshold in cases of sexual assault on all college and university campuses in Connecticut. The bill now heads to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's desk. If he signs it, Connecticut would be the fourth state to adopt such a standard.

When adjudicating complaints of sexual assault among college students, determining whether there was consent is crucial.

Too often, proponents of the legislation say, victims are asked, "What did you do to say 'no'?" instead of asking the accused perpetrator, "How do you know the act was consensual?"

'The principle that every person in the United States is entitled by right to “due process of law,” is so firmly embedded in the legal and cultural fabric of our society, that it hardly bears reminding. Yet, if you happen to be a male student at any college or university that receives federal funds, and an allegation of sexual misconduct has been levelled against you, you quickly realize that “due process” is a luxury you no longer enjoy.

Thanks to the Obama Administration’s effort to institutionalize political correctness throughout our nation’s education system, “due process” for male college students has been redefined out of the college curriculum. Now, according to Due Process 101 as taught by the United States Department of Education, male college students are no longer “innocent until proven guilty”; they are simply “guilty if accused,” and “due process” is a one-way street favoring the accuser not the accused.'

'A new political action committee has one question for straight white men with political aspirations.

"Dude, can you not?"

It's a question embedded in the name of the organization. The Can You Not PAC plans to discourage straight white men from running for office in Colorado's diverse districts. The hope is that will clear the lane from female, minority and LGBTQ candidates.

Democratic activists Jack Teter and Kyle Huelsman registered the organization last month. So far they've raised $120 from six donations.
...
But some progressive activists aren't laughing.

"I always take the approach that it would be better to be pro- something rather than anti-something," says Halisi Vinson, president of Colorado Black Women For Political Action. "It appears they are taking a negative approach and that's never the way to create a movement."

'Nearly one-quarter of white men with only a high school diploma aren't working. Many of these men, age 25 to 64, aren't just unemployed ... they aren't even looking for a job, according to federal data.

Their college-educated peers, however, have fared much better. Only about one in 10 isn't working.

The plight of these blue collar workers is now in the national spotlight. The 2016 presidential election has awakened their political power and reshaped the course of the campaign.'

She sought to have him forcibly removed from the protest because he was taking pictures. One thing led to another. Such are the wages of sin, as it were. Excerpt:

'After raucous protests last fall, the University of Missouri has “a dark cloud hanging over the institution—we can’t sugarcoat that,” vice chancellor of operations Gary Ward told faculty this week.

The university’s grave outlook became clearer Monday, as the data rolled in on freshman enrollment for the Fall 2016 semester, showing steep declines.

Compared to last year, 1,470 fewer students had paid their $300 enrollment fees by the May 1 deadline—and with cancellations rolling in over the weekend, the numbers may be even more grim, the local TV station KMIZ reports. That’s a drop of about 25% from last year’s freshman class of about 6,200.

Mizzou also reported a three-year low in grad-school applications, down 1,140 from two years ago. The number of new students shrunk even as the university has embarked on an aggressive effort to drum up interest in the school, using text messages and Skype and deploying more out-of-state recruiters.

'Remember when liberals used to say, “Just keep the government out of the bedroom?” Who would’ve thought those were the good ol’ days? Out-of-control government bureaucrats are regulating more and more as they strangle the freedom out of every aspect of life.

Now, liberals are teaming up with two of their favorite groups – bureaucrats and trial lawyers – to try to pass regulations that could make every single one of us a rapist in the eyes of the law.

That’s right – the regulations are now coming to bedrooms across America. In just a few weeks, the American Law Institute – an organization of lawyers who lobby federal, state, and local governments to pass their model laws – will vote on whether to make “affirmative consent” laws a part of the model penal code.

'Sexual harassment courses aimed at preventing workplace discrimination can have the opposite effect, making men less capable of perceiving inappropriate behavior and more likely to blame victims, according to academic studies that cast doubt on traditional training programs.

One researcher who has questioned the effectiveness of harassment prevention classes is Lauren Edelman, a professor of law and sociology at the University of California Berkeley, the prestigious school that has been at the center of a series of high-profile faculty misconduct scandals in recent months.

'South African native Bongani Radebe came to America with the dream to be the first person in his family to get an education in the U.S.
...
But a few months into his U.S. education at Edmonds Community College outside of Seattle, Wash., Radebe learned the hard way that American college students are not only sensitive, but that college men have few rights and receive no benefit of the doubt when accused of sexual assault.

Radebe met his eventual accuser — a 17-year-old high school student in a program that allowed her to earn college credits — at a bus stop near campus. Two weeks later he invited her to his dorm room after the two had exchanged texts. She came over and the two talked for awhile. Radebe claims he asked her to come to him and she did. He said he held her hand and complimented her eyes. He says she thanked him. Radebe says he asked if he could kiss her.

'MIA: Men. Feminism told them we didn’t need them. Then we were told to emulate them. On top of it all, we’ve emasculated them, and now men are fighting back… quietly. American society has become increasingly anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going ‘on strike.’ Breitbart has dubbed this “equal but separate misery” between the sexes a “sexodus” where men are giving up on women altogether and stepping back from society. Statistics are showing that men are increasingly choosing not to get married, and I can see why. With the rise of technology men can outsource everything women were traditionally known for to their iPhone apps. If they’re hungry they can use seamless, if they’re horny they can use Tinder. The only thing they still need us for? Babies.

'In recent years, the Department of Education (DOE) has chosen to send several “dear colleague” letters to all universities in the United States whereby it has presumed to progressively redefine Title IX to include three troubling new directives under the auspices of the 1972 law.

The first directive sets forth the “transgender accommodation” mandate. It specifies that any male student who declares himself to be female must now be given full access to all female facilities and programs.

The second directive specifies how colleges must investigate and adjudicate allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault. It actually requires a process that often circumvents local law enforcement and its corresponding constitutional protections of all involved parties.

'A University of St. Thomas student was not charged in a sexual encounter with a fellow freshman in her dorm room, but the private Catholic school, after its own investigation, suspended him for more than a year.

Now the student is suing.

The suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, alleges that the male student was subjected to "a rigged and unfair disciplinary process put in place to reach a predetermined result … in violation of both state and federal law."

The school denies the allegations and says it adheres to a different standard of evidence than in a criminal prosecution. In a statement issued Monday, St. Thomas said it is legally required to investigate sexual harassment and assault claims made by students, and emphasized that its investigations are "thorough and impartial."'

'A student at Colorado State University at Pueblo sued the university and the federal government this week, contending that he had been suspended indefinitely for a sexual act that he says both he and his partner considered consensual.

Grant Neal, a sophomore who was attending Colorado State on football and wrestling scholarships, was found responsible for sexual misconduct in a case with an unusual twist: the accuser was a third party who didn’t witness the alleged assault but who believed the act was coerced.

Mr. Neal joins the growing list of accused rapists who are suing their colleges. His case, however, is among the first to also take on the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights over the guidance it has issued to colleges on how they should handle sexual-assault complaints.'

'Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues his crusade in raising the equality bar.

On Saturday, he met the four millennial men behind Generation Y Not for an interview on feminism, and specifically how men can be more effective at it.

As part of it, Trudeau was asked to answer, in 10 seconds or less, what advice he would give men to become better feminists.

"There's lots of things you can do to be a better feminist as a man but here's a simple one: don't interrupt women, and notice every time women get interrupted in conversation," the PM said in a Snapchat video.
...
Trudeau introduced a gender-balanced cabinet last year, and has stated he would prefer there was actually no response to the fact that he's a feminist.

"I'm going to keep saying loud and clearly that I am a feminist until it is met with a shrug," he said during a discussion on gender equality at the United Nations in New York last month.'

'While Columbia University’s “mattress girl” Emma Sulkowicz—who carried a mattress on campus to protest the non-expulsion of her alleged rapist—is long past her fifteen minutes of fame, the story isn’t over. Now it’s the turn of the accused man, Paul Nungesser, who is pursuing a lawsuit against Columbia.

He claims that, despite being exonerated, his academic experience was ruined because the university enabled Sulkowicz’s protest, effectively denying him equal educational opportunity on the basis of sex. Last month, a federal court dismissed the suit for lack of sufficient evidence. But last Monday, the case was back with an amended complaint which seeks to demonstrate that Nungesser was indeed a victim of anti-male bias—and paints a stark picture of the harassment he says he endured due to Sulkowicz’s campaign.
