Feminist Professor: Chemically Castrate Men Who “Harass” Women

Article here. Excerpt:

"Chicago Professor and cultural critic Laura Kipnis – whose work has been published by Slate and the New York Times – thinks that men who “harass” women should be chemically castrated and publicly executed.

If this is what influential college professors are telling young women, is it any wonder that we’re seeing an acceleration of the Sexodus? Men checking out of dating and relationships because they’ve completely given up on approaching women.'

Suzanne Venker: What I wanted to tell students at Williams College

Article here. Excerpt:

'As you know, feminism is a large umbrella for an enormous range of topics — from its signature issue, abortion, to sex and relationships, women in the workplace, marriage, divorce, domestic violence, women in the military and work-family balance.

There isn’t a person among us who doesn’t have a stake in at least one of these issues.

But they are not “women’s issues,” as the media often claim. They are everyone’s issues.

Men have opinions on these matters as well, as they should, yet their voices are rarely heard.

Same goes for women who don’t consider themselves feminists — which, for the record, is most women.

We hear from feminists the most for good reason.

A. Feminists pride themselves on being the arbiter of all things female.

B. They have the microphone. Indeed, the feminist elite run the show.

The feminist elite is comprised of left-leaning professors, journalists, writers, psychologists, actresses and lawyers whose beliefs have seeped into the culture to such a degree that anyone who takes a non-feminist view of any topic is branded either sexist or a misogynist.

This group uses their clout to bully people into silence, and the result is a lack of reasonable dialogue.

Since people don’t wish to be attacked for simply questioning an idea, they say nothing — giving feminists free reign of the conversation.

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot over the years about liberal media bias, but feminist bias is an offshoot of that — and it’s far more toxic.

As former CBS News journalist Bernard Goldberg wrote in his book "Bias," “I know a few top male producers who would rather walk barefoot on cut glass while drinking Drano than have to face the Missus back home after giving the green light to a story on the excesses of feminism.”

UK: Women's Equality Party calls for quotas for female MPs

Story here. Excerpt:

'At a policy launch in London, Ms Walker, herself a former journalist, said many of the problems facing women were a product of the fact they were not "equal decision makers", whether in politics, business or other areas of public life..

"We have made some progress but the path to shared power is taking too long to pave," she said. "So we have concluded that as a temporary measure quotas are necessary."

It was lamentable, she said, that women still made up less than a third of the Commons - 191 of the UK's 650 MPs.

"We will put Parliament into special measures for two elections. Political parties should field women in two thirds of seats, including two thirds of safe seats. We can have a 50:50 Parliament in a decade."

She also called for 75% of new peers to be women and for all publicly listed companies to have a 50:50 gender ratio on their boards and executive committees by 2025.'

'The Hunting Ground' predicted for Oscar nomination

Article here. Excerpt:

'The campus sexual assault propaganda film "The Hunting Ground" will be in the running for an Oscar, according to predictions from Variety editor Kristopher Tapley.
...
But "The Hunting Ground" is not a documentary about a horrific epidemic of violence across the U.S., it is a propaganda film based on false statistics and inaccurate accounts of accusers. The film relies heavily on the claim that 1-in-5 women will be sexually assaulted in college, a statistic that has been debunked time and time again as the result of biased and flawed studies.

It also relies on the "expertise" of researcher David Lisak, whose own study claiming that campuses are hotbeds for serial rapists was debunked just a couple months ago. Lisak's study, which has been used to legitimize eviscerating due process rights for accused students, wasn't even about sexual assaults that occur on campus.

WaPo: Elementary Kids Should be Taught How to Get and Give Sexual Consent

Article here. Excerpt:

'While parents everywhere dread giving “the birds and the bees” talk to their kids, they might have to prepare for something even more complicated: Trying to explain to their child what the teacher's lesson on consensual sex actually means.

In an op-ed for The Washington Post Oct. 14, feminist activist Annie E. Clark whined, “Why are we waiting until college to learn about consent?” She went on to argue that it was necessary for elementary and middle school-age children to be taught about how to give and receive sexual consent.

“The first time students hear ‘consent’ should not be at their first-year [freshman] orientation,” she wrote. This is a “public health issue," and can be talked about in an “age-appropriate way,” she argued.

Really curious to see the Sesame Street episode on that.

What the Post declined to disclose outright, is that Clark also happens to be one of the prominent players in CNN’s smearing college-rape documentary,The Hunting Ground.

A Disadvantaged Start Hurts Boys More Than Girls

Article here. Excerpt:

'Boys are falling behind. They graduate from high school and attend college at lower rates than girls and are more likely to get in trouble, which can hurt them when they enter the job market. This gender gap exists across the United States, but it is far bigger for poor people and for black people. As society becomes more unequal, it seems, it hurts boys more.

New research from social scientists offers one explanation: Boys are more sensitive than girls to disadvantage. Any disadvantage, like growing up in poverty, in a bad neighborhood or without a father, takes more of a toll on boys than on their sisters. That realization could be a starting point for educators, parents and policy makers who are trying to figure out how to help boys — particularly those from black, Latino and immigrant families.'

Feminists Angry a Man Won’t Help Them Negotiate Their Salaries

Article here. Excerpt:

'If a man dares to answer a question about feminism, he better be prepared for the backlash if he doesn’t give the acceptable response. But since it seems like even feminists don’t know what they want men to say, good luck to him figuring out what that acceptable answer is.

Even in liberal Hollywood. Take for example The Avengers actor Jeremy Renner’s response to the question, “Would he be willing to negotiate alongside his female co-stars on future projects?” asked by Business Insider UK, Oct.20 during a press conference.

First, some context. Renner’s American Hustle co-star Jennifer Lawrence recently penned an open-letter, highly-lauded by the media, where she explained her shock in finding out how little she made compared to her male co-stars and how she had been afraid to negotiate for a higher salary because she didn’t want to be perceived as spoiled.

Why one activist thinks we need a men's movement

Article here. Excerpt:

'This is why when I think about manhood in our 21st-century context, I think instantly of mayhem, confusion, violence. These things have come in the form of one mass shooter after another, murdering people at work, on military bases, on college campuses, in grade schools. These things have come in the form of misogynistic comments from men as different in pedigree as billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump and Grammy Award-winning rapper T.I. These things have come in the form of my travel as a speaker and activist, reading local newspaper stories of men and boys, more aggressively and brutally than ever, raping or killing women and girls, oftentimes their girlfriends or wives.

Anti-Feminist Speaker Disinvited to ‘Uncomfortable Learning’ Lecture Series

Article here. Excerpt:

'A student group at Williams College that hosts speakers who challenge the campus's biases has rescinded a speaking invitation to Suzanne Venker, a conservative author and vocal critic of feminism, in response to furious condemnation from other students.

The decision to disinvite Venker is steeped in irony, given that the group's lecture series is called “Uncomfortable Learning,” and the sole reason for ditching Venker seems to be that she was a good fit.'

Canada's feminist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau targets GamerGate in anti-misogyny call to action

Article here. Excerpt:

'New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has described himself as a proud feminist and named GamerGate as an example of an issue that society needs "to stand clearly" against. He made the comments only a few days after winning the national election as leader of the Liberal Party.

Speaking in a recent TV interview (via The Star) Trudeau said: "Yes, Yes. I am a feminist. Proud to be a feminist. My mom raised me to be a feminist. My father raised me, he was a different generation, but he raised me to respect and defend everyone's rights, and I deeply grounded my own identity in that, and I am proud to say that I am a feminist. The things we see online, whether it is issues like Gamergate, or video games misogyny in popular culture, it is something that we need to stand clearly against."'

Lessons from dismissed campus due process lawsuits

Article here. Excerpt:

'Students who have been found responsible for campus sexual assault and are expelled sometimes sue their universities. But they have had mixed success in the federal courts.

The Washington Examiner spoke with one lawyer, Andrew Miltenberg, who has filed many cases on behalf of accused students. He described what he's learned from cases that have been dismissed.

"I've learned that the federal courts are very good courts but that they're reluctant to grasp on to this issue of bias or prejudice, unless it appears to be widespread," Miltenberg said. "And one of the problems is that in any one of these cases you're only really looking at a singular event."'
