'Hopkins suggests that we create “euthanasia vans” that drives door-to-door and kills off the elderly.

“We just have far too many old people,” the feminist says. “It’s ridiculous to be living in a country where we can put dogs to sleep but not people.”

According to Hopkins, this can be carried out stylistically, you know, with a flair.

“Euthanasia vans — just like ice-cream vans — that would come to your home,” Hopkins says “It would all be perfectly charming. They might even have a nice little tune they’d play. I mean this genuinely. I’m super-keen on euthanasia vans. We need to accept that just because medical advances mean we can live longer, it’s not necessarily the right thing to do."'

'Advocates for due process on college campuses have come out in full force in the first months of 2016. Law professors, legislators, editorial boards and even a presidential candidate have stepped up to defend the constitutional rights of those accused of sexual assault on college campuses.

Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, an organization working to protect all students (both victims and the falsely accused), has detailed the advocacy in a press release sent Monday morning.
...
Last week, a federal court in Kentucky ruled that campus hearings are "quasi-criminal" in nature, which should make a good argument going forward that students deserve due process rights. Also last week, the Oklahoman posted an editorial about the need for reform in campus sexual assault policies, calling the current model a "constitutionally dubious regime."'

'As if to make a massive display of their dearth of self-awareness, Twitter feminists have spent the past few days nagging the Oxford English Dictionary over its definition of the word ‘nagging’. They have also rabidly denounced its definition of ‘rabid’. And they have deployed shrill lingo to slam its definition of ‘shrill’.

'Florida State University agreed on Monday to pay $950,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a former student who accused the former Seminoles football star Jameis Winston of raping her in 2012.

The settlement also commits Florida State to five years of sexual assault awareness programs and to the publishing of annual reports on those programs, although the university did not admit liability. Winston was never criminally charged in the case, in part, the local prosecutor acknowledged, because a number of shortcomings in the police investigation left him without the evidence needed to sustain a charge of rape.

'Data made public by Statistics Canada this week come debunk some myths about domestic violence.

Thus, contrary to popular belief, the 2014 General Social Survey on victimization tells us that men are just as likely to be victims of spousal violence than women.

If this data does not surprise the experts, some are still surprised to see the fall of domestic violence, which fell by nearly half, and see the extent of violence against men.

'An Iowa woman bit and scratched her husband when he declined to have sex with her, according to cops who arrested the suspect for domestic battery.

As detailed in a criminal complaint, when Rachel Butterbaugh, 33, arrived home from work around 10 PM Saturday night, her spouse was in bed inside the couple’s North Liberty residence.

Butterbaugh, pictured at right, “said she wanted to have sex,” police reported. But when her husband said no, Butterbaugh allegedly “became physical and began scratching and biting the victim.”
...
Court records show that Butterbaugh’s rap sheet includes two prior assault convictions.'

'The argument is unsustainable. “For all the talk over the past three years, the number of women at the World Economic Forum barely budged from 17% last year to 18% this week.”

What feminists see, but cannot face, is that most women don’t want what they want. What feminists have learned, but refuse to accept, is that you can’t legislate desire.

There is Zero. Evidence. that women are being discriminated against en masse or that they’re being forced into fields that allow more flexibility as opposed to freely choosing them.

Do you think so little of women that you assume they don’t know what they want? If so, why do you want them in the boardroom?

Clare Boothe Luce said it best: “It is time to leave the question of the role of women up to Mother Nature—a difficult lady to fool. You have only to give women the same opportunities as men, and you will soon find out what is or is not in their nature. What is in women’s nature to do they will do, and you won’t be able to stop them.'

'University of Missouri communications professor Melissa Click has been charged with third-degree assault -- a misdemeanor -- over an altercation with reporters on campus in November, the city prosecutor’s office has confirmed. The prosecutor’s office filed the charge Monday morning, after which the court is expected to issue a summons.

In a video that was widely shared online, Click was shown blocking reporters from a public space at the school’s campus. Students, who had gathered following the resignation of the university’s president over racial tensions at the school, declared the area a media-free “safe space.”

Click can be heard telling a reporter to “go away” before grabbing his camera, then asking for backup. “Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here!” Click says on the video.'

'In the past several years politicians have lined up to condemn an epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses. But there is a genuine question of whether the Education Department has exceeded its legal authority in the way it has used Title IX to dictate colleges’ response to the serious problem of sexual assault.

When an administrative agency makes rules and regulations—which are a form of law every bit as binding as those passed by Congress—it must follow the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, the bible of the bureaucracy. The process most often used involves “notice and comment”: The agency must publish the proposed regulation and respond to comments before issuing the final rule. This can take months or years, and at the end of the process parties affected by the new rule can challenge it in court.

The Joint Committee on Human Rights holds a joint pre-appointment hearing of the Government’s preferred candidate for the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) with the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee in March 2016. Ahead of this hearing, the Committees welcome submissions on the following:

'Georgia Tech will face questions today from a state lawmaker looking at whether the school is doing enough to protect the rights of students accused of sexual assault and other wrongdoing.

The hearing could be the first time Georgia Tech president Bud Peterson speaks publicly about the institution’s student discipline processes since recent reports about the impact of the school’s aggressive disciplining.

Georgia Tech has expelled or suspended nearly every student it has investigated for sexual misconduct in the past five years, according to reports viewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The school has also handed down stiff penalties to fraternities, including one in which members were accused last summer of hurling racial slurs at a black female student.'

'This is an update of a post that appeared on CD last March.

In a January 2014 report titled “Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call to Action” (which led to the creation of the “White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault” headed by Vice-President Joe Biden), the White House made the following two claims:

White House Claim 1. Sexual assault is a particular problem on college campuses: 1 in 5 women has been sexually assaulted while in college (pages 1, 2, 10, 14).

White House Claim 2. Reporting rates for campus sexual assault are also very low: on average only 12% of student victims report the assault to law enforcement (page 14).

I’ve reported previously on CD many times that there’s a huge, irreconcilable problem here. If the second claim about under-reporting of campus sexual assault is even close to being accurate, it means that nowhere near 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted while in college. ...'

'How’s this for dark irony: throughout 2015, ‘white male privilege’ was the buzzphrase on every rad tweeter and liberal hack’s lips, as they fumed against the easy, pampered lives allegedly enjoyed by human beings who had the fortune to be born with a penis and pale skin. Railing against ‘white men’ and their cushy existences has become the stock-in-trade of many feminists.

Yet towards the end of 2015 it was revealed that there’s a social group in Britain more derided and less successful than pretty much every other social group. Guess who? Yep, young white men. Especiallyyoung working-class white men. A large sector of the group that the new identity-politics mob loves to ridicule for sailing through life unmolested and unchallenged is actually having a rough time.

'A 19-year-old Roanoke College student was accused of rape in March 2015 by a college freshman. He was charged by the district attorney, but it took a jury just 25 minutes to find him not guilty at the end of a trial that lasted one day. A campus sexual misconduct hearing also found him not responsible.

Case closed, right? Wrong, of course.

When the student, who is from Zimbabwe, re-enrolled in Roanoke, campus activists started an online petition in an effort to bar him from campus, citing safety concerns. This just goes to show that students who are accused of sexual assault on college campuses are often considered guilty-until-proven-innocent, and even then are still considered guilty.'

'There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.

There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelinesapproved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”'
