'A large group of member of the American Law Institute have written a letter in opposition to an upcoming vote that would vastly expand the definition of sexual assault in the legal system.

The letter, signed by nearly 120 members, including lawyers, judges and law professors, highlights several concerns regarding a draft model penal code that ALI members will vote to adopt on May 17. I previously wrote about issues with the draft, but was assured by an ALI member that many of my concerns have been addressed in the current version.

The ALI members who signed this letter have copies of the draft that will be voted on this month, and it turns out there are still dangerous issues that have not been addressed that will turn every sexually active American into a criminal overnight.

'With campus feminists, you simply can’t win.

Last week, Harvard announced that they were cracking down on “privilege” within their student community by banning members of single-gender organizations from holding school leadership positions.

But when Harvard announced its new policy, it stressed that the sanctions applied to both male and female single-gender organizations equally, since both male and female single-gender organizations thrived on their “privilege.”

Harvard’s resident feminists claim that all-female organizations, while just as gender-biased, are beneficial to the school’s community, whereas all-male organizations are merely breeding grounds for the present and future perpetrators of sexual crime.

'The university released a report in March saying that final clubs "have a disproportionate influence on campus culture — and, more importantly, one that is in many respects negative and helps perpetuate an environment where sexual assault occurs." Since then, the university has faced intense pressure to do something about the groups.

The report takes aim at "a strong sense of sexual entitlement" in the male clubs but also zeroes in on the apparent effect of that on the female clubs. According to the report, female seniors who are members of final clubs are much more likely to have been sexually assaulted than female seniors not in the clubs.

To current and former members of female clubs, targeting their groups along with the male ones seemed excessive.

'More than two hundred members of the Crimson Women’s Coalition demonstrated in Harvard Yard on Monday against a new policy that bans undergraduates from joining same-sex organizations like fraternities, sororities and especially elite “final clubs.”

The rally, called “Hear Her Harvard,” was organized by women, primarily students, who feel that the university’s new policy will destroy social spaces that women have created for mutual support on campus.
...
Dean Rakesh Khurana, who has been responsible for much of the politically-correct upheaval at Harvard — including the end of the term “master” for faculty members supervising undergraduate dormitories, lest the term evoke slavery — called same-sex clubs “rife with power imbalances.”'

'Two federal government agencies have launched an investigation into discrimination against female directors in Hollywood, the American Civil Liberties Union announced Wednesday. The news comes a year after the civil rights organization requested that the government look into hiring practices at studios.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs have been working on a wide-ranging investigation, according Melissa Goodman, a lawyer with the ACLU. The investigation was prompted by an ACLU report after the organization conducted its own two-year audit into discriminatory practices. The ACLU collected testimonials from over 50 female directors who reported sexist practices like studio-compiled “short lists” of potential directors that were almost exclusively male. In October, the Los Angeles Times reported that several female directors received surveys from the EEOC regarding gender discrimination in Hollywood.'

'Incensed that her husband got her “the wrong flowers and candy” for Mother’s Day, a Florida woman allegedly pummeled her spouse, according to cops who arrested her for domestic battery.

Investigators allege that Virginia Stewart, 42, attacked her spouse during an argument early Sunday in their family’s Holmes Beach residence. Cops arrived at the house in response to a 911 hangup call.

As detailed in a probable cause affidavit, Stewart quarreled with her husband about “the victim getting her the wrong flowers and candy for Mother’s Day.”

After Stewart “did throw cups around the room and break them,” she allegedly attacked her spouse, punching him several times while also striking the man in the head with a coat hanger.'

'There’s nothing more insufferable than an ivory tower feminist who insists on forcing the world into a box — her box. Facebook COO-turned social justice warrior Sheryl Sandberg is on a mission. Sandberg made clear her feminist agenda several years ago, when she announced this to a group of college graduates (and later reiterated in her Lean In campaign): “A truly equal world would be one where women ran half our countries and companies and men ran half our homes.”

A lofty goal, indeed — one that demands a complete restructuring of the way America operates. And so began Sandberg’s true occupation (because clearly, running Facebook isn’t it): to upend human nature and to change the world, one campaign at a time.

'The undergraduate course "Men in Literature" was taught eight times from 2005 to 2015 at Springfield College in Massachusetts. It drew healthy enrollments and was reviewed favorably by a large majority of the students who took it. In 2010, the course was formally approved by the college curriculum committee as an addition to the offerings of the humanities department.

'A group of adorable high school boys wore superhero t-shirts under their tuxes on prom night, matching their date’s dress. A photo was taken of the girls smiling back at the camera as they open their date's vests to reveal the superhero logo on their t-shirts. The sweet photo that no one could possibly be offended by--or so one would think--was posted to Twitter.

Then a social justice war-waging Leftist came in to suck the fun right out of the awesome prom photo by railing against its “sexist” undertones and comparing it to a lynching done by the KKK.
...
Apparently, young high school boys and girls consensually posing for a cute superhero-themed prom picture is abundantly sexist. If only Superman or Batman were in a dress, then modernity would have won and sexism would have been defeated. Damn archaic gender roles!

'A retired army man on Tuesday submitted a petition to the President of India seeking mercy killing, apparently annoyed at the slow progress of justice after being "falsely implicated" by his son's in-laws in a dowry case.

A distressed Ramnath Das, who was employed with the mechanical wing of the Electronic Mechanical Engineering Corp of the Army, appealed to Pranab Mukherjee to ensure early justice to him or permit him to end the life willingly. "The agony of this dowry case has troubled my family to such an extent that in the last two years most of the members of the family have gone into depression and are ailing from various psychological problems," the letter addressed to the President reads.

'In a rare act, a university has expelled students who allegedly perpetrated a race hoax that brought negative attention to the school.

Two women who were involved in the alleged hoax have been expelled from the State University of New York at Albany, while a third student was suspended for two years. The disciplinary action comes after the students were arrested and charged with 10 misdemeanor charges, including assault and false reporting.

The three women — who are black — accused a bus full of white people of attacking them and using racial slurs. After police investigated the incident, it was determined that the three accusers were not the victims but in fact the aggressors.

'"If [Clinton] didn't play the women's card, she would have no chance, I mean zero, of winning," Trump said. "She's playing the women's card. She's going — " [here Trump's voice drips with sarcasm] "'Did you hear that Donald Trump raised his voice while speaking to a woman?' Oh, I'm sorry!"

And then: "I mean. All of the men, we're petrified to speak to women anymore. We may raise our voice. You know what? The women get it better than we do, folks. They get it better than we do. If she didn't play that card, she has nothing."

Women in the audience started cheering at this.

Trump's "women get it better than we do" line could mean two things. It could mean that he thinks women have an easier lot in life than men — partly because men now have to be constantly "petrified" of being labeled sexists.'

'While the recommendations appear to condemn the exclusivity for which all-male final clubs are known, the new guidelines also apply to fraternities, sororities and the more recently formed five all-female final clubs — none of which are recognized by the university.

The unexpected consequence of the penalties, then, is to prevent women from associating under their gender as well, prompting all-female groups to ask the administration to consider them in a different vein from their all-male counterparts.

“Basking in the praise of the national press for its efforts to make all-male final clubs go co-ed, Harvard has left out an important piece of the story: female final clubs,” three female students wrote in an op-ed for the Harvard Crimson.

'Scottish music star Calvin Harris is selling tickets for his new concert at the Omnia in Las Vegas, but if you’re a man, you’re in for some bad news — you have to pay $75 for a standard ticket, whereas women only have to pay $40.

No one knows yet whether Harris is trying to fix the mythical feminist “wage gap” by slapping men with a higher fee (a common tactic at feminist bake sales), or whether he’s going for the old nightclub-owner’s trick of letting the women in for free to make his show seem cooler.

Of course, surely a smart marketer would claim to be doing the former to disguise the fact that he’s doing the latter.

Harris’ mysterious pricing policy has already got commentators talking. The Daily Telegraph straightforwardly accuses the singer of being sexist and points out that the practice of charging men and women different prices for the same product has been banned in a number of US states.
