“Happy ‘National Day of Anger’ to you and yours!” [Darleen Click]
Ben Boychuk asks, “Why so angry?” Well, as the saying goes, if you aren’t angry you aren’t paying attention. They’re angry about Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and dozens of other black men who have died at the hands of police. The “consensus” among protesters, according to the San Francisco Chronicle the other day, is that “law enforcement in the U.S. is poisoned by racial bias that wounds or kills people
The Campus Rape and Sex Management Industry [Darleen Click]
Heather MacDonald on the lucrative Rape Culture Truthings. The campus rape movement highlights the current condition of radical feminism, from its self-indulgent bathos to its embrace of ever more vulnerable female victimhood. But the movement is an even more important barometer of academia itself.

WaPo’s update on Rolling Stone’s U-VA “gang-rape” story: Did “Jackie” just make it all up? [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?)

************************************** More than a dozen Pearl Harbor survivors, each more than 90 years old, gathered in Hawaii this week to share stories as they marked the 73rd anniversary of the Japanese attack that killed 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers.
Vaginas – what can’t they do? [Darleen Click]
And puh-leeeese don’t call it “objectification”. This is ART. … Art Basil, one of the biggest art shows, which happens every year in Miami, attracts flocks of art collectors, celebrities, and the curious. But this year, taking things to a new level, a woman placed a battery inside her vagina and offered people the chance to charge their electronics for money. Pop superstar Usher paid $20 in exchange for a
