At Harvard, All-Female Groups Claim Collateral Damage in Crackdown on Final Clubs

Article here. Excerpt:

'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.

Morgan Arenson, a 2006 Harvard graduate and graduate board member of the Sablière Society, an all-female final club, said she first thought that since her group did not share the problems of men’s final clubs — like a misogynistic culture and sexual assaults — any policy changes wouldn’t affect it.'

In the Old South, white men, often associated with the Triple K organization, dressed in hoods, would lynch a black man accused of rape. We all recognize their actions had nothing to do with preventing rape and everything to do with intimidating blacks.

So, too, today's feminists care nothing about preventing rape and care deeply about intimidating and silencing men. They're fearful that men might find their "voice."

Perhaps feminists should be called the FFF--in honor of the group they imitate.
