'“Don’t Be That Guy,” a new campaign from UW-Madison Police designed to grab young men’s attention and remind them that sexual assault is not OK, is getting mixed reviews on campus.

The campaign uses provocative images — like a passed-out young woman — on posters now dotting campus to drive home its message.

UWPD spokesman Marc Lovicott said the campaign, launched in August, is intended to move the focus of anti-sex assault messages from women’s behavior to men’s. A past campaign, for example, urged women to report assaults, he said.

“One thing we heard is that everybody always focuses on the victims," Lovicott said. "Why not focus on the perpetrators?”

The UWPD modeled the campaign after similar campaigns in Canada and the United Kingdom. Only a handful of police departments in the United States have experimented with a version of “Don’t Be That Guy,” said a department news release.'

'The other evening, I attended an excellent London Thinks debate on free speech – or rather, the apparent lack of it, through “safe spaces” – on British university campuses.

It was a night of much eyebrow-raising, but the sharpest intake of breath was reserved for a comment made by a certain Ms Bahar Mustafa.

Sharp-minded readers may recall how, last April, Mustafa, 27, the Welfare and Diversity Officer at London’s Goldsmiths University, Comment and launched the controversial Twitter hashtag #KillAllWhiteMen, which she later claimed was merely a joke.'

'Erin Buzuvis, director of Western New England University School of Law's Center for Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Christina Hoff Sommers, author of several books and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, traded prepared remarks and answered questions about Title IX — the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination in federally funded education based on sex — as well as modern feminism and current campus issues.

The debate, sponsored by CNU's Center for American Studies, drew a near capacity crowd of students in Ferguson Center for the Arts' Music and Theater Hall. Since gaining its official holiday status in 2004, Constitution Day has required institutions that receive federal funding to provide educational programming related to the constitution.'

'Here’s my prediction – the facts that: a) men are underrepresented in graduate school enrollment overall (100 men were enrolled in 2014 for every 136.4 women), b) men received fewer master’s (41% of the total) and doctoral degrees (47.8% of the total) than women in 2014, and c) men were underrepresented in 7 out of 11 graduate fields of study at both the master’s and doctoral levels last year will get no attention at all from feminists, gender activists, women’s centers, the media, universities, and anybody in the higher education industry.

'Harvard Law School professor Jeannie C. Suk argued at a forum in New York this week that the criminal court system, not campus resources, should investigate and adjudicate cases of alleged sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape.

At the forum—hosted by Intelligence Squared Debates and titled “Courts, Not Campuses, Should Decide Sexual Assault Cases”—Suk and Yale Law School professor Jeb Rubenfeld argued in favor of the motion. Michelle Anderson, the dean of City University New York School of Law, and Stephen Schulhofer, a professor at New York University School of Law, argued in favor of university involvement in the contentious issue.

"What campuses are doing under pressure from the Department of Education is hurting the cause of gender equality,” Suk argued during an opening statement. “Campus tribunals use procedures that lack basic fairness and often reach inaccurate outcomes.”'

'A federal judge on Thursday ordered Middlebury College to reinstate a student who had been expelled over alleged sexual misconduct during a study-abroad trip last year, the Associated Press reports, citing court documents.

The student, identified only as John Doe, was initially exonerated by the School for International Training, which ran the study-abroad program, in an unnamed foreign country, in which both John Doe and his alleged victim took part. Unhappy with the school’s findings, the victim, identified as Jane Doe, said she intended to file a complaint with the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights, which is already investigating more than 100 collegesover their response to reports of sexual misconduct on their campuses.'

Thank you for telling U.S. Representative Jared Polis on Monday that it's wrong to expel innocence students.

As you may recall, Rep. Polis stated that a student should be expelled if there is only a 20% chance he is guilty.

He has since apologized! http://www.dailycamera.com/guest-opinions/ci_28818663/jared-polis-colleges-should-handle-sex-assault-cases

In his apology, however, he states that 1 in 5 female students in the class of 2019 will be assaulted or raped. Perhaps Polis likes the number "20%," but we know this number has been debunked: http://www.saveservices.org/sexual-assault/myths/

We want you to contact Rep. Polis again and tell him that he needs to look at facts before advocating for sexual assault policy changes. To do otherwise is dangerous and unprofessional.

'A women’s and gender studies lecturer at North Carolina State University is docking her students’ grades for using “sexist language” in class assignments.

What’s sexist? “Generalized pronouns,” according to a portion of a syllabus obtained by The College Fix.

The directive is aimed at students in Nancy Bishop’s online class “Women and Poverty.”

“Thanks to evolution, generalized pronouns and other biased references are no longer acceptable in any class,” the syllabus reads in a section on “Non-Sexist Language.”

“You may NOT use ‘he’ or ‘him’ or ‘man’ to refer to both men and women,” it continues. Bishop tells students they can replace “mankind” with “humans” or “humankind,” and should write “she or he” instead of just “he,” though the syllabus is unclear on whether students should always lead with a female pronoun.'

'A 10-year-old boy in the Bronx, New York, was allegedly assaulted by a woman for having bad “manners.”

Mohammed Almontsire told WABC-TV that he went back into his father’s deli to get a bag that he had left there earlier. That’s where a woman, who police are now looking for, ordered the fifth grader to say “thank you.” But Almontsire refused.

“She slapped me two times. I punched one time,” Mohammed said.

The boy claimed the woman also used “bad words.”

Ibrahim Almontsir, the boy’s father, later saw surveillance footage of the incident and said it was “indescribable” to watch his son being “chased and beat up.”

“The way she punches him around, he was very helpless,” the father added.'

'Yet another reason to ban men.

A new study from the Indiana University Bloomington has found that working in male-dominated offices can do serious damage to female employees’ health.

In a large US survey, researchers studied the stress hormones of more than 440 women who worked in offices where at least 85% of the workforce were men.

They found that women working in these strongly male-dominated environments had unhealthier patterns of cortisol – the damaging stress hormone – than those who worked in more gender balanced offices.
...
Men, meanwhile, don’t exhibit the same disrupted cortisol levels as women in offices where there are 85% or more men.

The only logical solution? Kick all the men out of the office. Let’s woman it up.'

'You thought starting university was meant to be fun? Think again. A new league table, published in time for freshers’ week 2016, ranks universities on the basis of their local crime rate. The Complete University Guide has published the results, alongside a guide to ‘sexism on campus’, which gives students tips on how to scope out their university’s attitude to sexism and sexual harassment. But as the survey points out, official data for crime specifically against students is not available, so these figures are chosen because they relate to crimes ‘most likely to affect students’.

'Fraternities simply don’t fit into the mission of 21st century higher education. They represent a dominant and dangerous social culture that needs to be removed from universities.

We’re used to the headlines by now—stories of widespread abuse and bias that have no place on a modern campus. In leaked videos and emails, fraternity brothers across the country have been caught describing raping women or slinging racial slurs. Many researchers have found that fraternity members are more likely to commit rape than nonfraternity members. One study author has stated, “It is reasonable to conclude that fraternities turn men into guys more likely to rape.”

These toxic attitudes and behaviors don’t belong at the center of campus social life. I should note, however, that I’m generally not referring to minority fraternities, which typically don’t have houses and focus more on cultural networks.'

'Lib Dems have barred men from a “juggling politics and family life” training session at their annual conference.

The move has led to claims of sexism at the conference, which opens in Bournemouth on Saturday.

The conference fringe event is only open to women, sparking accusations that organisers do not respect men’s role in bringing up children.

The meeting is listed in the official directory saying: “Time management: getting the balance right between politics and the rest of your life (Women only) Ideas on how to successfully juggle politics and family life.”

One former candidate criticised the decision to exclude men. Mike Powell, who stood in the Pontypridd constituency at the last three general elections, said: “This is just as likely to affect men as it is women these days.

“My wife and I share the fun of looking after our four-year-old daughter - parenting is not just a female thing.”'

'You've seen the video, right? The one with the vicious, weasel-skunk-fox hybrid sticking its nose into bee-filled holes, gnawing on mice, tearing the heads off snakes, and shaking off venomous cobra bites, waking up after a few minutes to return to eating its attacker? You know, the one that ends with, "Honey badger don't care. Honey badger don't give a shit"? If you're one the nearly 75 million people who've watched the YouTube sensation since it was posted in 2011, you may think you're familiar with this whole Honey Badger thing. You have no idea.

The women scattered across the U.S. and Canada who call themselves Honey Badgers have no true affiliation with the ferocious carnivorous mammals, nor with the viral nature mockumentary meme. They are, in fact, a group of concerned individuals who have banded together to stand up to a society that unfairly targets a segment of the population vulnerable simply because of its gender. That marginalized group? Men.'
