The Feminist Left is promoting a ‘Narrative’ (cough… Big Lie … cough) that college and university campuses are basically Rape Zones where wild-eyed men rape women constantly in a mad frenzy of rapey rapiness (because… The Patriarchy!). In fact, the Narrative is so powerful that a feminist journalist can publish articles about gang rapes without any proof that they actually happened and universities will respond by punishing the men that didn’t commit the rapes that didn’t happen even after the feminist journalist pretty much admits there’s no proof that they happened, but it doesn’t matter anyway because… ‘The Narrative.’
The ‘Narrative’ is being used as justification for university officials to strip men accused of sexual misconduct of their Constitutional protections and, in some cases, to damage their careers and reputations.
So, is it crazy to think that the goal of the militant feminist left is to turn institutions of higher education into environments that are so hostile to heterosexual men that even larger numbers of them will forgo college educations. Meaning that women will receive an even more disproportionate number of degrees and thus making the sisterhood dominant in positions of power and influence in society?
I know, it’s a crazy idea… but on the other hand, the left are crazy (and malevolent) people.
I don’t know if the feminists’ goal is to drive either “heterosexual men”, or men as such, out of higher education and eventually, out of our society’s leadership.
I do know – because it’s obvious; only an idiot could not see it – that the feminists’ goal is to drive *men who would question the feminists* (a.k.a. *men whom the feminists have not managed to program/intimidate* and/or *men who display traditional masculine characteristics*) out of higher education and eventually, out of our society’s leadership. They think it’s progress.
College rape is turning into a 2000’s version of the satanic child molesters/repressed memory stuff from the late 80’s early 90’s.
I’m positive rapes happen on college campuses but not to the extent that is currently being promoted. Sexual assault has been dumbed down to the point that if a girl has regret sex she can cry rape and ruin the life of a guy who may or may not be an asdhole but isn’t a rapist.
It’s all about stripping college men of their masculinity to serve some fem-nazi Feminist Agenda;
Surveys say;
1. …that 46% of college men now shave their pubes?
2. …that nearly 50% of young men now pee sitting?
3. …that nearly half of young men allow themselves to be penetrated?
WTF?
It may or may not be a conspiracy by the feminists, but it could be a current unsaid, ideological based mindset promoted by feminists in general & minority subset lesbians in particular. White guilt liberal administrators are eager to jump on to whatever they feel is Dem approved.
@ Just Me: I don’t remember the exact school, but a professor at a university tried to compare rape statistics (actual rape and reporting of rape) at his university with those put out by the White House. He concluded that the percentage of women raped and the percentage of women who report rape could not be simultaneously true.
Basically, only 5% of college women, rather than 20%, will be sexually assaulted. Still bad, but not the epidemic that the feminists are portraying.
If they let out the demographics of rape it would be even worse. From the last time data was tracked, over 100 white women get raped by blacks every day, but a number too low to count (less than 10 per year) of black women get raped by non-Hispanic white men a year. If Duke Lacrosse was not a hoax it would have been a decades worth of w-b rape.
Don Juans of the patriarchy feared two things above all: pregnancy and marriage. Old cat lady lesbians got rid of both for them. Str8 women need to understand that if they want kids they need to have them by 35, because their fertility will drop like a rock after.
@ Steve: Why should feminists reproduce, when conservatives do it for them? Then they can just indoctrinate them in the school system.
The same subset of women who fear rape/assault the most are also the same subset that want to ban firearms on campus. How stupid is that?
Very!
I don’t think it really has anything to do with trying to shoot and stop the rapists.
What I see in a lot of the rape complaints appear to be two things-
1. Girl has drunken sex with guy, regrets it, then files complaint.
2. Girl has drunken sex with guy, regrets it, talks about how Icky it made her feel to all her friends, her friends give her sympathy then start telling her she could file a complaint.
A lot of teenage girls (and since college is now extended adolescence is applies) are drama queens. They want drama, desire drama, want pats in the back and sympathy from friends and they feel affirmed when they are in the center of it. Many of the current rape complaints seem to be stirred up foenthe sake of the drama. I think a lot of feminists (and frankly other people obsessed with being a victim) get caught up in the drama as well.
Note that the more thinking-people ask questions about the Univ. of Virginia scandal, the more contrived the story looks.
We have gone from ” he said, she said”, to just “she said” as the moral and ethical standard — and apparently on campuses the legal-standard under former-Law Prof. Obama, that sterling protector of the Federal Constitution and it’s safeguards.
