California Democrats have passed a so-called “affirmative consent law” that covers the sexual activity of students who attend California’s public universities and colleges. The bill’s language clarifies the definition of consent by stating what it is not. “Lack of protest or resistance does not mean consent, nor does silence mean consent,” it reads. “Affirmative consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.

Teaching women not to rape [Darleen Click]
Well, when you redefine words to mean anything you want due to politics, don’t be surprised when others take you seriously. When Lara Stemple, a researcher at UCLA looked at the latest National Crime Victimization Survey, she was shocked to see that men experienced rape and sexual assault almost as frequently as women, and that women were often the perpetrators. Once the definition of rape was expanded to include more

Isla Vista is to teh Womyns as the Birmingham Church bombing was to blacks … [Darleen Click]
The Los Angeles Times decided to toss forth a token column featuring a common sense admonition against the Vagina Warrior faction’s co-opting of the atrocity in Santa Barbara. No talking point, however, has proved nearly as tenacious or tendentious as the misogyny angle. According to this narrative, and based on his videos and writings, Rodger committed his crimes because he hated women for not sleeping with him. And he responded

The Precious Princess Syndrome … [Darleen Click]
Laurie Penny, Amanda Marcotte, Lena Dunham (and the aging Maureen Dowd) … all single, childless and given to fits of bullying those outside their coterie of sycophants … David Thompson exposes them in their own words. "I have a very British arse. It's small and vaguely embarrassed by its history of conquest" – I just said this, in real life, to a friend. — Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) January 14, 2014

Camille Paglia: “What you’re seeing is how a civilization commits suicide.” [Darleen Click]
The war on masculine virtues [N]o subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society’s attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization. She starts by pointing to the diminished status of military service. “The entire elite class now, in finance, in politics and so on, none of them have military service—hardly anyone,

Freelance writer and stay-at-home-dad genuflects at Left-feminism, gets published at XX-Slate [Darleen Click]
Noah Berlatsky, Why am I a male feminist? But I’m also a feminist for selfish reasons. I’m the primary caretaker for our son — I stay home with him when he’s sick (there he is on the futon right now, actually, watching Doctor Who with the cat sacked out beside him). I deal with school events and playdates; I schlep him to all his activities. There was a time not

Trigger warning for Vagina Warriors — [Darleen Click]
This post discusses a logo cartoon husky dog — a scary symbol of vicious rape culture The new logo for the University of Connecticut’s sports teams is a terrifying husky dog that calls to mind images of sexual assault, says one student. The new logo was unveiled last week, receiving mixed-to-negative reviews from UConn fans who preferred the older, cuter husky (sic) dog. But one student went much further, criticizing

Left-feminist new Outrage(s) du Jour [Darleen Click]
I don’t think I need even comment further on how much Left-feminist “seriousness” is really self-parody Every month or so, I receive a glossy coupon from Victoria’s Secret in my mailbox. “Free panty!” it beckons. “No purchase necessary!” Reading those words, I cringe a little bit. Not because I hate underwear—I’m an ardent lover of underwear. It’s because I hate the word “panty.” I hate the plural form of “panty”
