'In August 2012, two rapes by unknown assailants were reported at Harvard University, sending the school into crisis. Police cruisers idled around the campus; uniformed and plainclothes officers came out in force. Students were advised not to walk alone. A member of the undergraduate council called for the closing of Harvard Yard. “I thought Cambridge wasn’t a dangerous area,” a freshman told the student newspaper. “It was Harvard—it was supposed to be safe, academic.” (In fact, Harvard still was safe. The campus authorities ultimately deemed at least one of the rape allegations baseless, judging by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports. Since Harvard never disclosed the outcome of either of its investigations, its findings regarding the other supposed incident remain secret.)

In September 2015, Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust announced that Harvard students experience sexual assault with “alarming frequency.” Faust was responding to the results of a sexual assault survey conducted at Harvard and 26 other colleges earlier in the year. According to the survey, spearheaded by the Association of American Universities (AAU), 16 percent of Harvard female seniors had experienced nonconsensual sexual penetration during their time at the college and nearly 40 percent had experienced nonconsensual sexual contact. The “severity of the problem” required “an even more intent focus on the problem of sexual assault,” Faust said. Harvard professor and former provost Steve Hyman decried the “terribly damaging” problem that “profoundly violates the values and undermines the educational goals of this University.”

'A University of Notre Dame student has accused a female academic coach of coercing young football and basketball players into having sex with her daughter, according to a lawsuit.

The student came forward Friday accusing an unidentified faculty member of orchestrating “sexually and racially motivated” trysts with her daughter by including condoms, transportation and hotel rooms for academic favors.

The accusor is an African-American student while the academic coach is white. Neither the student, coach nor her daughter are identified in court documents filed Friday in Indiana’s St. Joseph Circuit Court.'

'It’s been a good month for champions of the traditional family, but don’t expect the family wars to be ending any time soon.

In recent weeks, a barrage of new evidence has come to light demonstrating what was once common sense. “Family structure matters” (in the words of my American Enterprise Institute colleague Brad Wilcox, who is also the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia).

And Princeton University and the left-of-center Brookings Institution released a study that reported “most scholars now agree that children raised by two biological parents in a stable marriage do better than children in other family forms across a wide range of outcomes.” Why this is so is still hotly contested.

'So what do I, as a card-carrying feminist myself, mean by a feminazi? In the absence of an official definition (although it is probably only a matter of time before it gets one) I use the term to mean radical, authoritarian feminists who view everything in gender terms and brook no dissent – least of all from other women.

So is calling someone a feminazi really comparing them to the Nazi mass-murderers, as one critic claimed, or “equating the fight for gender equality with mass murder”, as another stated? I don’t think so.

In exactly the same way that calling someone a grammar-Nazi doesn’t imply that they want to send people to the gas chambers for misplacing apostrophes.
...
Just because some people don’t like a word, that doesn’t automatically mean other people shouldn’t use it. If that was the case, the wonderful breadth of the English language would be swiftly cut down to just a few grunts in a matter of weeks.

'Former Oregon player Brandon Austin filed a $7.5 million lawsuit against the school and four administrators alleging they damaged his prospects of playing in the NBA.

Austin was among three Oregon players who were kicked off the team and barred from campus after a woman accused them of rape last year.

In the lawsuit filed Thursday in Lane County Circuit Court, lawyers for Austin say he was wrongly accused and was denied a chance to adequately defend himself in university disciplinary proceedings.

Lane County prosecutors declined to charge the players following the March 2014 incident, saying there was insufficient evidence. The players say the sexual encounter at an off-campus party was consensual.

'Gillibrand and McCaskill are optimistic about their own legislation -- the Campus Accountability and Safety Act – will be included in a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act that a Senate committee plans to act on later this year.

McCaskill said the bill protects due process for those accused of sexual assault and addresses the same concerns the Salmon bill addresses without handcuffing colleges' ability to take swift disciplinary action under Title IX.

“The prosecution process is about depriving someone of their liberty, putting them in prison, labeling them a sex offender for the rest of their life,’’ she said. “The Title IX process is for campus safety and it is a much different kind of process and should be treated much differently.’’ Criminal investigations can be lengthy, she said. Title IX bars sex discrimination in education.'

'Selective Service for men has largely gone unnoticed, even while women have fought for equality in all other aspects of society. We have said — and proved — that "women can do anything men can do." Now we have to be willing to accept all the responsibility that equality brings.

As our society moves toward becoming more gender neutral, even at Target, the burdens that men have always shouldered should now become women's, too. That's equality.

Through Selective Service, our government operates on the idea that an unwilling male soldier is better than even a willing female one. Are feminists really okay with this?

• So you're in favor of Selective Service?

Actually, I'm not.

• So why do you want to force our daughters to do something that you don't even want your sons to do?

Selective Service goes under the radar because society and lawmakers are not ready to deal with the issue of drafting women. It's a political no-win. Asking the question alone creates all sorts of problems for the "war on women" argument.

Article here. Excerpt:

'A small advisory group called DACOWITS -- the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services -- makes regular reports on such issues directly to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, and has advised him to ask Congress to change the Military Selective Service Act to require women to register for the draft.

“I think [Congress] would either be faced with disbanding Selective Service and the requirement to register for the draft, or they would be required for women to sign up,” said Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee.

Coffman, a volunteer soldier who served alongside draftees in the Vietnam era, favors getting rid of the draft altogether and introduced legislation to do that earlier this year.

But others advocate opening the draft to both genders.

'A bill recently introduced in Congress would change the way sexual assault investigations are conducted at universities nationwide – including the University of Texas at Austin.

Supporters say it will strengthen the due process rights of students who are accused of sexual assault.

But many UT Austin students are voicing their concerns. Student Government passed resolution A.R. 14, in opposition to H.R. 3403, also known as the Safe Campus Act.

If the bill is passed, victims of sexual assault will have to decide whether or not they want law enforcement involved in their case. That decision could impact how or if their case is investigated at all.'

'An extraordinary thing happened in the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. A member of the seven-strong Backbench Business Committee burst out laughing at the suggestion that MPs should be allowed to debate a range of gender issues including domestic violence, suicide and premature mortality rates.

In an age when offending the sensibilities of anti-sexism campaigners can cause Nobel laureates to be sacked and drive astrophysicists with unfortunate dress sense to tears of redemption, it’s a miracle there hasn’t been another hysterical lynching in the court of public opinion.

At least it would be if it were a male politician caught on camera chortling at the suggestion that parliament should discuss issues like violence against women, breast cancer screening and eating disorders.

The reason the media hasn’t grabbed hold of SniggerGate yet, is that the sniggering MP is female and the gendered problems she appears to find funny are issues that disproportionately affect men and boys.'

'A WOMAN with a personality disorder who made a false rape allegation against a man she was angry with has been given a suspended sentence.

At the end of a brief relationship Sarah Eastwood (34) had told the man: “You messed with the wrong person, I will get you sorted out.” She later alleged he raped her in a city centre pub toilet.

The man was never arrested but was interviewed by gardaí during an extensive investigation. He had not been in the city that night and recovery of large amount of CCTV disproved the allegation.

Eastwood, of Judge Darleys Hostel, Parkgate Street, Dublin pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to two counts of knowingly making a false report during garda interviews at Store Street and Pearse Street garda stations on dates between June and August 2013. She had no previous convictions.'

'A newly-released video shows that New York students remain confused about the implications of a new affirmative consent law that dramatically changes how they are expected to act in sexual situations.

Under a New York law enacted last summer at the urging of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, all colleges receiving state funds are required to handle sexual assault complaints using the standard of “affirmative consent.” This standard, also known as “yes means yes,” means that a student commits sexual assault if they do not receive explicit approval for every sexual act they engage in, from kissing to intercourse. This policy stands in contrast to current criminal law (sometimes called “no means no”), where sexual assault occurs when a person explicitly refuses to consent and is ignored or overpowered.

'Women, know your place. And that place is in the boardrooms of Britain’s biggest companies.

A new Government-backed report from Lord Mervyn Davies has called for a target of at least a third of boardroom positions at FTSE 350 companies to be held by women by the end of the decade.

Lord Davies, who has been championing gender equality in the boardroom, stopped short of calling for quotas for the number of women in directorships but he hailed the “near revolution which has taken place in the boardroom and profound culture change at the heart of British business”.

And it is indeed nothing short of a revolution, with 26 per cent of board members at leading companies now being of the female persuasion – more than double the figure just four years ago.
...
If David Cameron genuinely believes that institutions benefit from having a balance of men and women working in them, then he would do well to look beyond the boardroom to the classroom.
