“I choose to believe Jackie. I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong.” [Darleen Click]

Jessica Valente (you remember her, the gal who supports Bill Clinton but never had anything to say about believing Juanita Broderick) offers up yet another defense of Narrative Over Facts.

One in five women is sexually assaulted at American universities – so Jackie’s story wasn’t so uncommon.

Jessica trots out a totally bogus statistic and ties it to Jackie, who claims not “sexual assault” (slapped posterior? uninvited kiss? who knows?) but gang-rape on broken glass by seven males as part of a frat initiation.

Really? That’s a common experience for 20% of female college students?

I choose to believe Jackie. I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong – but at least I will still be able to sleep at night for having stood by a young woman who may have been through an awful trauma.

Just another case of Vagina Warrior narcissism.

This is all about Jessica and how she feels. Her motives are pure, she has the best of intentions. No matter whose lives are affected, as long as Jessica can get a good nights’ sleep, all is right with the world.

Such a special snowflake.

    What Ms. Valente fails to note, is “standing by” someone who has assumed the mantle of victim by concocting a false narrative, means that she is willing to be a victim of any charlatan in the neighborhood. It doesn’t make one a hero; it makes one a sap.

    Speaking of which: Well, then. I guess that settles it.

    Not.

    You know what the real propaganda problem is with the 1 in 5 stat?

    Lots and lots of people went to college and remember it well enough.

  6. happyfeet says:

    it’s good to keep an eye on it

    if it starts trending towards two in five then for sure it’s trending in the wrong direction

    but for all we know it could be trending down to like 1 in 10 or so

    we need more data on this campus rape phenomenon

  7. bh says:

    The second problem is that as soon as people realize what counts now as “sexual assault” they realize how many non-traumatic events in their life would count under that rubric.*

    I’ve been sexually assaulted dozens and dozens of times.

    If you start getting into this affirmative consent nonsense, I’ve probably been gray-area raped a few times. Sometimes this has happened after women have rendered me nearly insensate with drugs and alcohol.

    They saw the vultures gathered in a swirling mass, circling. They even reported the presence of the vultures to the local authorities. They did not do the simple thing: go to where the vultures were feasting and see what it was the vultures were eating. That’s a pity, because ultimately, too late, weeks later when the young woman’s remains were found in the creek bed, her soft tissues were largely gone, and with them the evidence of her rape and murder.

    When we see vultures, we should go, find out what they’re eating — do more than merely call it in. We just don’t know but that we’ll find something important to find.

  11. bh says:

    When you get into this “rape culture” shit, it’s really the same.

    Drunk girls were constantly grabbing my ass and occasionally roughly touching my genitals. A few times they did so roughly enough that I had to ask them to stop.

    I did so privately though. In a quiet whisper if I could. I didn’t want to embarrass anyone in front of their mob of friends and enablers.

    All of this is one hundred percent true.

  17. bh says:

    To give this a deeper reading my understanding is what makes what I experienced part of a rape culture were all the cultural artifacts around the act that then inevitably occurred.

    1. “Women just do these things when they’re drunk”. This enabled these women to be both emboldened in their assaults while also pretending to remove their culpability.

    2. “Girls act out when they’re in groups. No biggie.” What we observe here is how the mob again emboldens the offenders to greater and greater outrage by once again removing their individual responsibility.

    3. “Guys are just dogs.” By removing male personhood, the female culture dehumanizes them into sexual objects. Sometimes by just seeing a young, healthy male women are moved by societal influence to imagine them as mere animals.

    Re: The “One in Five” stat.

    This past summer, I sat with my son at his college freshman orientation. He’s attending a STEM school where males outnumber females 2.5 to one. In other words, its the kind of place where you would surmise young male hormones would be out of control. Yet, according to the chief of the campus police, the worst crime reported involving a student from the university was a stolen laptop.

  19. bh says:

    What we might surmise then, Shermlaw, is that not all that much has changed in the last 20 years.

    I remember exactly two incidents from my entire time in college. A friend of mine was sexually assaulted (specifically groped violently while jogging off campus). She immediately called it in upon getting back to the dorm and it was a pretty terrible experience. The second was a Pakistani dude hit his girlfriend in the common area on the dorm because he was a backwards asshole. Probably twenty people called the cops after a half dozen guys physically restrained him and were fairly civilized to not just beat him into the ground.

    That’s it. Not saying that more never happened. Of course not. But, this 1 in 5 crap is pure fucking horseshit.

  20. newrouter says:

  21. Shermlaw says:

    @bh

    Of course it’s horseshit. It’s amazing the SWJs are allowed to get away with it, inasmuch as crime rate statistics for every community are maintained by the FBI, even if one ignores the U.S. generally. The number of rapes /sexual assaults in the US is about 27 per 100,000 population. In my son’s college town, it’s less than 20 per 100,000 and has been that way for the last decade. (Total sexual assaults last year: 4) In other words, instead of a 1 in five chance of being sexually assaulted, the chances are 1 in 5000.

    (Although, to be fair, it took a lot of work to find those statistics. Specifically, I “googled” “collegetown crime statistics” in a separate tab while composing this comment.

  22. bh says:

    Ehhh, certainly those fellas never listened to any music that would lead them to believe women are bitches and hoes.

    That’s what makes all of this so nauseating.

    I do have some rather old-fashioned problems with the treatment of women in popular music, for instance. But, because I’d phrase it in terms of specific examples rather than a nebulous jobs programs for gender studies majors it’s not a real thing anymore.

    The concrete is the concrete. The nebulous is just that. They’re bullshitting opportunists. Nothing more.

  23. newrouter says:

    the baracky and his fellow thugs are really good at agit prop/misdirection. that commie background came in handy.

  24. cranky-d says:

    A relatively small number of women have experienced horrible trauma at the hands of a man. I would not be surprised if they believed the 1 in 5 figure as a way to help cope with the experience.

    One could argue that if something appears to happen more often, even something horrible, then the people it has happened to would feel a little less singled-out. Victims often blame themselves. The fewer people it has happened to, the more likely they “did something wrong.”

    This is just a passing thought. I won’t be devoting energy defending it because it may not be defensible.

    Football awaits.

  25. newrouter says:

    >certainly those fellas never listened to any music that would lead them to believe women are bitches and hoes.<

    with the proggtard it is all projection. their black/muslim pets abuse women? attack the "white" tribe.

    That’s a kind and empathetic thought, cranky. It doesn’t require defense.

    Okay, a couple are out on a date. She allows some standard making out and then he tries to get his hand between her legs. She’s not comfortable with that and tells him, “No.” He’s not ready to give up just yet and says, “Come on, it’s no big deal.” She pushes him away. He apologizes but she now sincerely believes she has experienced an attempted sexual assault — which equates to an actual assault since she has undergone some form of emotional trauma. Who’s to say she hasn’t been assaulted? He’s toast.

  31. newrouter says:

    >Virtue is not vice.<

    In that comment, nr, I was referencing the central idea of Smith’s work in how humans can experience another’s thoughts just by trying. That’s a cool thing about our sort. I then found cranky’s attempt there for an actually victimized subset to be virtuous and not to be heckled.

    In much the same way, we’d hope that SJW might actually attempt to understand those whom they’re trying to lynch in print and online. That would be a virtue and not a vice.

  36. bh says:

    the proggtards don’t pay a price.

    True, and they deserve nothing but ash and ruin in their mouths in return. But cranky’s thought was a bit more directed and circumspect, wasn’t it? He wasn’t speaking to the mindset of progressives but rather the delicate sensibilities of the truly injured.

  37. newrouter says:

    perhaps. but the "ruining class" now: baracky, valgal and holder ain't black.
    they are "colored/mulatto /quadroon / octoroon" folks instigating the "african americans". one tribe is abusing another because they got power.

    did you know that in 1969 the "black grievance industry" was "protesting" apollo 11? yes the bgi showed up there in mule drawn carts to protest apollo 11!!11!!. they thought the "money" could be better spent helping "their" community. yea right. "black america" is a jesse/al shakedown scam and baracky is grifter 1.

  43. Shermlaw says:

    @cranky,

    I appreciate your comment and you may be right. May I posit an alternative and cynical explanation? Lena Dunham is rich, white and privileged to a degree the vast majority of Americans of any ethnicity will never experience. Thus, for “street cred” purposes, she must develop a personal narrative of extreme hardship to counter the facts which are right there in front of us.

    Enter “Barry,” the campus Republican stage right and–presto–instant credibility. She assumes the victim’s mantle as a badge of honor, which demands that those who might be otherwise critical, drop their critiques, dismiss their doubts and rush to her defense. It’s a publicity stunt gone wrong, because “Barry” actually exists and has a lawyer.

    Whether “Jackie” falls into that category, I do not know. Perhaps something happened which she magnified to get attention from her peers. I note only, her desire to withdraw the story from publication could indicate she realized her narrative would fall apart with greater scrutiny. (And yes, it could be someone who wished to avoid further trauma, but then why talk to a reporter for a national magazine? Ms. Erdely is neither a counselor nor a priest/pastor.

    (Disclosure: Falsehoods in these matters piss me off because I had someone close to me be a victim of a forcible sexual assault.)

  44. bh says:

    Did you know that in 1961 an Irishman became president after they took over most of the east coast Democratic strongholds?

    Did you know that even today there are lots and lots and lots of Irish civil servants and they remain doggedly leftist?

  45. Drumwaster says:

    “I choose to believe Jackie. I lose nothing by doing so, even if I’m later proven wrong.”

    Given that most SJWs never had any credibility in the first place, she is probably quite correct in making this statement. As the wise man once said, “When you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.”

  52. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Whether “Jackie” falls into that [stolen valorish streetcred victimhood] category, I do not know. Perhaps something happened which she magnified to get attention from her peers.

(And yes, it could be someone who wished to avoid further trauma, but then why talk to a reporter for a national magazine? Ms. Erdely is neither a counselor nor a priest/pastor.

    My understanding is that the rape beat reporterette [stet!] was victim shopping and the campus rape crisis activist group put her in touch with Jackie.

    If your memory is long enough, pretty much the same thing happened with a low to middling civil servant turned college instructor by the name of Anita Hill. Hacktivist “journalistas” went looking for a sensational story to derail Clarenece Thomas and Anita Hill got served up on a platter.

    David Brock wrote a book about it –which he later repudiated when he himself got served up on the hacktivist platter.

  53. newrouter says:

    Isn’t this strange?

    One reporter’s secret source and everyone immediately now knows that some gadfly somehow got the correct name? How do they know this is the correct person?

    What the fuck?

  57. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Another similarity between Anita Hill and Jackie: fantastic details like pubic hairs on Coke cans and gang-rape on shards of broken glass.

  58. newrouter says:

    at a certain perspective: the “satanic rituals” and “aids” of the 1980’s have a funny similarity to today. you go salem witch trials!

    The reporter says all her friends think something did happen. Well, yes, of course. They all got their information from the same place back then — herself. With no good reason to doubt. And they believed her at the time. But none reported to the police. And the items reported to Rolling Stone, as reported, were big enough to overcome all objections unless something else was going on. And none of them want to investigate. That’s all so very odd. Wouldn’t anybody want a full investigation, and back then, and immediately? It’s all so bogus.

    The thing is, I’ve been sexually harassed myself, and I’m all, “Quit blowing me all the time! Hello, my eyes are up here.”

    Years later through identity studies I realize I should report all this now, not to authorities, no, rather, to a questionable political activist reporter in search of items for the purpose of making of it a national head-banging case.

  93. sdferr says:

    I am talking about surrender, I should say, since I brought Wisse’s comment to bear on Feinstein’s hideous betrayal of her own nation.

  94. sdferr says:

    Feinstein proposes to tell everyone, inside the United States or outside the United States, that she, above all else, moves from the highest principle (she likes to use the stupid term “values”) and highest morality. She possesses justice entire, and is willing to force her justice entire on everyone else, consequences be damned, because her knowledge is so very high and perfect. Disagreement is out of the question. No question of her principle is in order. None whatsoever.

  95. LBascom says:

    Yes, the cunt Feinstein (also the cunt McCain) finds waterboarding to be an evil above all others.

    I wonder where Obamas widely used assassination drones fit on her moral scale?

  96. sdferr says:

    We might wonder about their oath of office and faithfulness to the Constitution, which they find alterable at whim.

  97. LBascom says:

    I accidentally and painfully caught McCain speaking of Geneva Convention and Constitutional rights being due child murdering terrorists. The monstrous feigned ignorance of the rotten cocksucker prompts in me decidedly unchristian wishes on his black soul.

  98. Squid says:

    Why not turn the silly diplomatic crap against our critics for a change? To wit:

    “International law? You want to lecture us about torturing a handful of terrorist goat-fuckers when every one of you cocksuckers is releasing carbon into the atmosphere at far higher levels than you promised in the Kyoto Accords? We’re trying to save lives by our actions, while you spew out CO2 that threatens to extinguish all life on Earth! Clean up your own house before you dare lecture the rest of us.”

  99. LBascom says:

    This is intolerable:

    President George W. Bush was never briefed by the Central Intelligence Agency on the details of harsh interrogation techniques and secret detention of terror suspects for the first four years of its controversial program

    If true.

    Closer to the truth might be “President George W. Bush was never avoided being briefed…”.

    Either way, There was controversy over waterboarding and torture while Bush was POTUS, and it’s inconceivable to me there would have been no guidance from Bush on the topic at the time.

    Hell, In the nineties there was controversy over Clinton extensively using “renditions”, which was basically the CIA borrowing another country’s interrogation room. I bet Feinstein knew all about that at the time, and managed to hide her moral outrage.

  100. LBascom says:

    Oh, look. More news from DC.

    The GOP’s draft 2015 “omnibus” spending bill reportedly includes $948 million to help poor and unskilled Central American migrants establish themselves in the United States, but includes no effective restrictions on President Barack Obama’s plan to provide work permits and tax payments to millions of resident illegal immigrants.

    That new spending works out to $16,928 for each of the 56,000 youths, young adults and children who crossed the border during the 12 months up to October 2014.

    So apparently, the GOP figures the minimum wage is $8.14 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for non-citizens to do nothing.

    I need to avoid the news for awhileI think. Before I stroke out…

    Updates to the Jessica Chambers horror story. Apparently, she had a black thug boyfriend who, get this, turned out to be abusive. She dumped him. He objected, using lighter fluid… as one will.

    Apparently.

    He’d better hope the police find him before her father does, I’d imagine.

    Feinstein proposes to tell everyone, inside the United States or outside the United States, that she, above all else, moves from the highest principle (she likes to use the stupid term “values”) and highest morality. She possesses justice entire, and is willing to force her justice entire on everyone else, consequences be damned, because her knowledge is so very high and perfect. Disagreement is out of the question. No question of her principle is in order. None whatsoever.

    The solipsistic antinomialism is strong in this one

    Also, wouldn’t it be nice if Boehner McCarthy and the third jackass came back from Christmas break to find themselves voted out when the new Congress organizes in January?

    Machiavelli wondered who would defend their own nation. Who indeed, when that nation is not worth the candle?

    failmerica not so much

    Without the effete cookie-munching hamster to defend it, our Republic is doomed…

    Happyfeet understands the distinctions which the loathsome Dianne Feinstein (and her party) does not.

    Random House is adding disclaimers warning readers not to take this book of nonfiction too literally. Interestingly digital copies of Dunham’s autobiography are going to be redacted to fit Dunham’s new storyline. So if you are reading a book hosted on the cloud and find the letters rearranging themselves before your very eyes, don’t worry, it’s not you that is going nuts, but the world.

    >}A SPECTER is haunting Eastern Europe: the specter of what in the West is called “dissent” This specter has not appeared out of thin air. It is a natural and inevitable consequence of the present historical phase of the system it is haunting. It was born at a time when this system, for a thousand reasons, can no longer base itself on the unadulterated, brutal, and arbitrary application of power, eliminating all expressions of nonconformity. What is more, the system has become so ossified politically that there is practically no way for such nonconformity to be implemented within its official structures. . . .

    {2}Our system is most frequently characterized as a dictatorship or, more precisely, as the dictatorship of a political bureaucracy over a society which has undergone economic and social leveling. I am afraid that the term “dictatorship,” regardless of how intelligible it may otherwise be, tends to obscure rather than clarify the real nature of power in this system. . . Even though our dictatorship has long since alienated itself completely from the social movements that give birth to it, the authenticity of these movements (and I am thinking of the proletarian and socialist movements of the nineteenth century) gives it undeniable historicity. These origins provided a solid foundation of sorts on which it could build until it became the utterly new social and political reality it is today, which has become so inextricably a part of the structure of the modern world. . . . It commands an incomparably more precise, logically structured, generally comprehensible and, in essence, extremely flexible ideology that, in its elaborateness and completeness, is almost a secularized religion. It offers a ready answer to any question whatsoever; it can scarcely be accepted only in part, and accepting it has profound implications for human life

    I choose to not own an e-reader.

    Things are no longer what they seem. Ward Churchill is Native American, as is Elizabeth Warren. Nikki Haley is definitely not white, even though she’s checked the box. And the whitest man in America, though he may not look it, is George Zimmerman.

    A name is not a name either. Lena Dunham has responded to a threatened libel suit by admitting that the Republican called Barry who she says raped her in college wasn’t really called Barry. Random House is adding disclaimers warning readers not to take this book of nonfiction too literally. Interestingly digital copies of Dunham’s autobiography are going to be redacted to fit Dunham’s new storyline.
