“The problem with David Lisak’s serial predator theory of campus sexual assault.” David Lisak’s serial predator theory of campus rape has made him a celebrity. Once a virtually unknown associate professor at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, his work is now cited by White House officials and reporters for major newspapers. […] Much of the urgency around the topic of sexual assault on college campuses traces back to Lisak’s repeated claim

Feminist Greer attacks Elton John; decries ‘deconstruction of motherhood’ [Darleen Click]
Now I don’t know why Germaine Greer is so surprised … Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival, Greer accused the men of “deconstructing motherhood”, criticising them for the fact that Furnish was listed as mother on their children’s birth certificates. “Sometimes I think that really the problem is the concept of motherhood, which we can’t give any real structure to,” she said. “Sir Elton John and his ‘wife’ David Furnish

Rape of language: “Men have abortions, too” [Darleen Click]
If you still hold that it is only women (or girls) who are capable of getting pregnant, you are engaging in insidious and egregious cissexism. Who has abortions? For most of human history, the answer was obvious: women have abortions. Girls have abortions. Not any more. People have abortions. Patients have abortions. Men have abortions. “We must acknowledge and come to terms with the implicit cissexism in assuming that only

Attention Men: It is now official. No matter what you say or how you behave … [Darleen Click]
…you’re sexist. If you’re the sort of gentleman who holds the door open for a lady – or the sort of woman who expects him to – then be warned. Such acts of chivalry may actually be ‘benevolent sexism’ in disguise, according to researchers. Experts say this type of sexism is harder to spot than the ‘hostile sexism’ we are more familiar with – because it often masquerades as gallantry.

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. In a delicious historical irony, the baby boomers who dismantled the university’s intellectual architecture in favor of unbridled sex and protest have now bureaucratized both. While

Teach women not to lie about rape: Rolling Stone walks back UVA rape story [Darleen Click] UPDATED
We have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced … Because of the sensitive nature of Jackie’s story, we decided to honor her request not to contact the man she claimed orchestrated the attack on her nor any of the men she claimed participated in the attack for fear of retaliation against her. In the months Erdely spent reporting the story, Jackie neither said nor did

Feminism: Vagina Warrior Outrage Brigade takes another scalp [Darleen Click]
Heh. Related: 1 small shirt for a man, 1 giant leap backward for women So how are things going for feminism? Well, last week, some feminists took one of the great achievements of human history — landing a probe from Earth on a comet hundreds of millions of miles away — and made it all about the clothes. Yes, that’s right. After years of effort, the European Space Agency’s lander

“We should stop putting women in jail. For anything.” [Darleen Click]
I read this yesterday and still am wondering if I’m dealing with a click-bait headline or an article from a true female supremacist. The argument is actually quite straightforward: There are far fewer women in prison than men to start with — women make up just 7 percent of the prison population. This means that these women are disproportionately affected by a system designed for men. […] Essentially, the case

Pro Due Process Does Not Equate to Pro Rape [Darleen Click]
The Left’s wholly-owned subsidiary, “Feminism”, has been at the forefront of a scorched-earth campaign against any dissent from Female Supremacy. From exploiting very young girls to forcing colleges into Kafkaesque policies on handling sexual assault accusations, Feminists will stoop to any level. Ask George Will. Fortunately, some people are not intimated by Vagina Warrior lynch mobs. Ask litigator Andrew Miltenberg how he decides whether or not to take on the

If you drag a Government check through a Women’s Studies Department … [Darleen Click]
… you never know what you’ll find … Colorado Republican Congressman and U.S. Senate Candidate Cory Gardner has suggested birth control pills should be over-the-counter as part of his campaign platform and stance on women’s health. Instead of applauding Gardner’s approach, which would greatly expand women’s access to birth control, Planned Parenthood has come out against him. The justification? Obamacare and government dependence for women is better. “If Cory Gardner
