NUS Woman's Campaign Proven to Be Rightwing Hoax Designed to Make All Feminists Look Shrieky and Hysterical

She deleted that tweet, but Twitchy grabbed up on it first.

I got the next several articles from Instapundit and Powerline.

Powerline suggests the these attacks on the New Salem may represent a liberal revolt against this.

Maybe. However, in my experience, most liberals are fairly weak, and buy into Marxism's complaint that liberalism is an inauthentic political philosophy which empowers the Capitalist class or whatever. Thus, liberals believe Marxists when Marxists say liberals are weak and traitors to their class and really should just defer to Marxists.

So my guess is that liberals will continue being worthless, and continuing deferring to and empowering Marxists, and continue seeing a soft Marxism as the path of least resistance.

This is great article by film professor Laura Kipnis in the Chronicle of Higher Education decrying the "Sexual Paranoia" which has swept through the academy.

Kipnis argues that professors should be free to have sex with their students (and vice versa), as it used to be, back when she was younger.

You can disagree with that as you like, but the enforcers of the New Morality aren't doing so out of deference to the Old Morality; they're outlawing sex in order to vindicate far-left feminist concepts of the Woman as the Eternal Victim. And of course of "power disparities" and all the rest of it.

The whole thing is a great read. I'll just quote some of her more piquant moments.

It's the fiction of the all-powerful professor embedded in the new campus codes that appalls me. And the kowtowing to the fiction--kowtowing wrapped in a vaguely feminist air of rectitude. If this is feminism, it's feminism hijacked by melodrama. The melodramatic imagination's obsession with helpless victims and powerful predators is what’s shaping the conversation of the moment, to the detriment of those whose interests are supposedly being protected, namely students. The result? Students' sense of vulnerability is skyrocketing.
...
The climate of sanctimony about student vulnerability has grown impenetrable. No one dares question it lest you’re labeled antifeminist, or worse, a sex criminal.

...
To a cultural critic, the representation of emotion in all these documents plays to the gallery. The student charges that she "suffered and will continue to suffer humiliation, mental and emotional anguish, anxiety, and distress." As I read through the complaint, it struck me that the lawsuit and our new consensual-relations code share a common set of tropes, and a certain narrative inevitability. In both, students and professors are stock characters in a predetermined story. According to the code, students are putty in the hands of all-powerful professors. According to the lawsuit, the student was virtually a rag doll, taken advantage of by a skillful predator who scripted a drunken evening of galleries and bars, all for the opportunity of some groping.
Everywhere on campuses today you find scholars whose work elaborates sophisticated models of power and agency. It would be hard to overstate the influence, across disciplines, of Michel Foucault, whose signature idea was that power has no permanent address or valence. Yet our workplaces themselves are promulgating the crudest version of top-down power imaginable, recasting the professoriate as Snidely Whiplashes twirling our mustaches and students as helpless damsels tied to railroad tracks. Students lack volition and independent desires of their own; professors are would-be coercers with dastardly plans to corrupt the innocent.
...
There was more, but my eye was struck by the word "survivor," which was repeated several times. Wouldn’t the proper term be "accuser"? How can someone be referred to as a survivor before a finding on the accusation--assuming we don’t want to predetermine the guilt of the accused, that is. At the risk of sounding like some bow-tied neocon columnist, this is also a horrifying perversion of the language by people who should know better. Are you seriously telling me, I wanted to ask the Title IX Committee, that the same term now encompasses both someone allegedly groped by a professor and my great-aunt, who lived through the Nazi death camps? I emailed an inquiry to this effect to the university’s general counsel, one of the email’s signatories, but got no reply.

Do you think she should be fired for that pro-rape article? No?

Well your opinion doesn't matter. The feminists say she should be, and they're all that matters.

At the Nation, Michele Goldberg (who's written about the nastily smothering new feminist sex-panic militancy before) talks with Laura Kipnis.

You need to know that Kipnis is being personally protested for the violent, pro-rape column you just read parts of.

Last Monday, about thirty Northwestern anti-rape activists marched to their school's administrative center carrying mattresses and pillows. The event was a deliberate echo of the performance art project of Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz, who is lugging a mattress everywhere she goes on campus for a year to draw attention to the university's failure to expel her alleged rapist. At Northwestern, the target of the protest was not a person accused of assault, but the provocative feminist film professor Laura Kipnis. Her offense was penning a February essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education, titled "Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe,: which argues against her school’s ban on sex between professors and students, and more broadly against the growing obsession with trauma and vulnerability among feminists on campus.
...
As the protesters wrote on a Facebook page for their event, they wanted the administration to do something about "the violence expressed by Kipnis' message." Their petition called for "swift, official condemnation of the sentiments expressed by Professor Kipnis in her inflammatory article," and demanded "that in the future, this sort of response comes automatically." (University President Morton Schapiro told The Daily Northwestern, a student newspaper, that he would consider it, and the students will soon be meeting with the school’s Vice President for Student Affairs to further press their case.) Jazz Stephens, one of the march’s organizers, described Kipnis's ideas as "terrifying." Another student told The Daily Northwestern that she was considering bringing a formal complaint because she believes that Kipnis was mocking her concerns about being triggered in a film class, concerns she’d confided privately. "I would like to see some sort of repercussions just so she understands the effect something like this has on her students and her class," said the student, who Kipnis hadn't named.
Kipnis could hardly have invented a response that so neatly proved her argument. Not the argument about prohibiting student-teacher sex--there's still a good case to be made for that... Yet the reaction to Kipnis--the demands for official censure, the claims of emotional injury--demonstrated how correct she is about the broader climate. "The new codes sweeping American campuses aren't just a striking abridgment of everyone’s freedom, they’re also intellectually embarrassing," she wrote. "Sexual paranoia reigns; students are trauma cases waiting to happen."

I'll send you over there to read what more Kipnis has to say.

A professor takes to Tumblr to agree with Kipniss.

I’ve been in academe for about a decade now, and the only professors I’ve known who have slept with or dated students were female....
But lately I've noticed a marked, very loud silence from these professors and instructors, the ones who dated students. See, there’s a big kerfuffle going on about a female Northwestern professor, Laura Kipnis, who made the mistake of speaking honestly on the internet. She said that blanket bans on teacher-student relationships were dumb and infantilizing. In response, students and colleagues have called for her to be formally censured. And out of the several female professors I've known to have engaged in relationships with students, not a one has lent Kipnis a single word of support.
This isn't an issue of hypocrisy. This is a matter of real, palpable fear. Saying anything that goes against liberal orthodoxy is now grounds for a firin'. Even if you make a reasonable and respectful case, if you so much as cause your liberal students a second of complication or doubt you face the risk of demonstrations, public call-outs, and severe professional consequences. My friends and colleagues might well agree that the student-teacher relationship ban is misguided, but they’re not allowed to say as much in public.
C-can you guys see the problem, here?
Personally, liberal students scare the shit out of me. I know how to get conservative students to question their beliefs and confront awful truths, and I know that, should one of these conservative students make a facebook page calling me a communist or else seek to formally protest my liberal lies, the university would have my back. I would not get fired for pissing off a Republican, so long as I did so respectfully, and so long as it happened in the course of legitimate classroom instruction.
The same cannot be said of liberal students. All it takes is one slip--not even an outright challenging of their beliefs, but even momentarily exposing them to any uncomfortable thought or imagery--and that's it, your classroom is triggering, you are insensitive, kids are bringing mattresses to your office hours and there’s a twitter petition out demanding you chop off your hand in repentance.

Indeed, this has grown so foully toxic that even the New York Times is compelled to note that something smells rotten among their Fellow Travelers.

But why are students so eager to self-infantilize? Their parents should probably share the blame. Eric Posner, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, wrote on Slate last month that although universities cosset students more than they used to, that’s what they have to do, because today’s undergraduates are more puerile than their predecessors. "Perhaps overprogrammed children engineered to the specifications of college admissions offices no longer experience the risks and challenges that breed maturity," he wrote. But "if college students are children, then they should be protected like children."
Another reason students resort to the quasi-medicalized terminology of trauma is that it forces administrators to respond. Universities are in a double bind. They’re required by two civil-rights statutes, Title VII and Title IX, to ensure that their campuses don't create a "hostile environment" for women and other groups subject to harassment. However, universities are not supposed to go too far in suppressing free speech, either. If a university cancels a talk or punishes a professor and a lawsuit ensues, history suggests that the university will lose. But if officials don’t censure or don't prevent speech that may inflict psychological damage on a member of a protected class, they risk fostering a hostile environment and prompting an investigation. As a result, students who say they feel unsafe are more likely to be heard than students who demand censorship on other grounds.

This article is worth reading (all of them are, this is gripping, frightening, lunatic stuff) but she glances over an obvious explanation:

Just like as was the case in Salem, lodging an accusation which cannot be disproven and which must be taken as true by your Holy Dogmas is an extremely "empowering" thing for weaklings without any power.

Yes, kids like bossing adults around. It's an old fantasy that every child has. And our current children -- children until 26 -- are the most coddled and fantasy-addled in all of human history.

This is a case of the lunatics running the asylum, as teachers and faculties are now scared shitless of the administrative punishments and harridan disciplines that the students will impose on them.

Eh, they all deserve each other.

Let it burn? I give that sentiment Jazz-Hands.

Once upon a time, you went to college to be challenged, to tear down your beliefs and your impressions of the world as you knew it. At least that was how it was for me, and I rebuild my beliefs into something stronger, was better for it. I do not understand turning classrooms into rubber room nurseries for six years where you coddle, not attack, minds. And people take out unbankruptable government loans for the privilege! Madness.

Just reminded of that. The movie didn't seem to make any particular note of it.

was fine as long as they weren't a) the student's adviser or b)
currently teaching the student.

They may not all be conservatives,but many of the ones whoaren't areless liberal than you'd think. I'm friends with a number of them, and they give me some hope for the next generation.

I maintain the reason Animal House was so popular was because it hit so close to home for so many people. My frat took the Dean of Students to that movie and he sat with and laughed as loud as anyone.

It didn't stop him from suspending our frat and throwing it off campus but the movie part was funny as hell and shocking real.

I just found out today that management is required to take a new "cultural awareness" course at work. As I was giving a new hire orientation lecture today I could hear this group across the hall telling the first group about "gender sensitivity" and gender is all in how you define yourself to be. Of course it goes on about race, women, diversity, blah blah.
I absolutely refuse to do this course. My supervisor asked me why I hadn't signed up yet and I told her "Thank me for not signing up. You will not like the outcome....trust me". I guess it was the look in my eyes that made her back up and say "Okay".

195 My biggest concern about the military is that president Obama has spent the last 6+ years systematically clearing out anyone who remotely disagrees with his social agenda from the brass and replacing them with more malleable officers. Guys who won't leave well, find a scandal and drum them out.

While a military is largely successful or fails in combat based on its non-coms, the military doctrine relies on its leadership, especially at the top.

The guys who went through Vietnam and learned from its deadly failures and mistakes were superlative and built the most powerful, deadly, effective, and amazing military on earth. But they're being systematically removed and I fear the new crop knows nothing of what they learned.

the training ground for this is grad school humanities, nowhere else

if you boycott humanities as a student, departments will lose the ability to hire; when that happens, they will lose programs; when that happens, they lose hiring lines

so you can induce a death spiral

I believe young men are making such a tacit boycott, which I approve of

the downside is that departments double down on hiring the hard lefties, so the reduced departments are even more strident and unhinged

but it's only a downside for one generation

the next step is to replace tenure-track lines with non tenure-track lines

then you can make real inroads

when you re-stack academia, re-instate tenure

On school attire: My kids went to school in Long Beach, CA where uniforms were mandatory in all public schools from K-High School.

Less expensive, no drama fights at home about what your kids wanted to wear versus what they should, cut down bullying dramatically, and the schools enforced HOW they had to wear their uniforms. Guys had to have shirts with collars tucked in and with a belt, girls had to wear the uniform skirts unaltered or pants if they wished but if they wore pants, they too had to have belts on.

EXCLUSIVE: 60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT LARA LOGAN BACK IN HOSPITAL OVER 2011 ARAB SPRING SEXUAL ASSAULT

..."There was no doubt in my mind that I was in the process of dying," Logan told 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley. "I thought not only am I going to die, but it's going to be just a torturous death that's going to go on forever."

Logan was separated forcefully from her producer and bodyguard on Feb. 11, 2011, in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, by what the New York Times described as a "group of men who tore at her clothes and groped and beat her body."

In an interview with the New York Times, Logan said of the men who separated her from her crew that "for an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands."

In another interview with 60 Minutes, Logan confirmed that a woman saved her from the sexual assault.

"Just her eyes, I remember (I could see) just her eyes," she said of the woman who saved her. "She put her arms around me. And oh my God, I can't tell you what that moment was like for me. I wasn't safe yet, because the mob was still trying to get at me. But now it wasn't just about me anymore."

it's not, not really, for most. Most women are hardwired to want more -
emotional intimacy. Now to fill that emotional emptiness, the need to

242 alexthechick brings up a good point about Clinton and feminists.

Deep down they all knew he was a reprehensible figure, an adulterous serial sexual harasser, a predatory monster who fulfilled everything they said they despised about men: manipulative, lying, untrustworthy, oppressive, sexually selfish. But he was good on abortion and the alternative was helping a Republican win, which could not be allowed, so they all flocked to back and protect him.

And the confusion, self doubt, and mental conflict from that seems to have torn the feminist movement to pieces. The Equal Rights Amendment was still floating around being considered when Clinton was elected - a lot of feminists thought it had a good shot at being signed with him in power.

And you never even hear about it any more. The only feminist organizations seem to be groups like this now. They just seem nervous and flighty, like a batch of old ladies with the vapors.

Yes. It was up to the men to continue and be responsible for both, but we dropped the ball because men are basically lazy and irresponsible at heart.

But women. If you stop acting like ladies... men will stop treating you as such. That seems pretty obvious. If the average guy can get what he wants without having to pay the dues, why do you expect him to pay anyway?

247 Great idea, great program all in liberal Southern California.

I attended an all-male military school my first five years. We wore little uniforms with ties and marched every day. The middle-school kids marched with fake M-1's and the seniors carried swords with their full dress unis.

And yes, there was an all-girls school across town.

We loved it. No girls to distract you and we were all kept together in each class as we matriculated. All the teachers had a Master's degree at a minimum. One of my classmates/buddies was from Cuba and his mom was our Spanish teacher in third grade. In Mobile.

Best thing? We were all innocent little angels. Nobody ever uttered the word "sex." Ever. It just wasn't on our radar.

Freeing, it was. *sigh* Now I really miss the old days...

As for Gutfeld, his comments yesterday were that Cruz is all about Cruz and his goals are unrealistic. Today he said Cruz isn't a good speaker. Honestly, I just don't see the evidence for any of his criticisms. Cruz is a fantastic speaker and as I said yesterday, he's been fighting for the people since he's been in the Senate. And Reagan was told his goals were unrealistic too.

Honestly, it just doesn't sound like Gutfeld has any substantive criticisms of Cruz. Maybe he already has a horse and just wants to poo poo Cruz to help his horse. I don't know. But if he's going to criticize Cruz, he needs to do better than this. Otherwise people are going to begin assuming he has another agenda.

He just looks... untrustworthy to me. He looks like a politician, like someone who lies for a living and spends hours a day in front of a mirror.

Cruz doesn't strike me that way, he doesn't seem very concerned about his looks.

I just found out today that management is required to take a new "cultural awareness" course at work. As I was giving a new hire orientation lecture today I could hear this group across the hall telling the first group about "gender sensitivity" and gender is all in how you define yourself to be. Of course it goes on about race, women, diversity, blah blah.
I absolutely refuse to do this course. My supervisor asked me why I hadn't signed up yet and I told her "Thank me for not signing up. You will not like the outcome....trust me". I guess it was the look in my eyes that made her back up and say "Okay".

According to my 13 year old daughter, the boys are all weird and smell like Axe. Yuck.

Spent some time at a camp with teenage boys. Axe was the solution to all of their problems.

Stinky restroom? Axe. Fluttering moth in cabin? Axe. Pranking the other cabins? All of the Axe.

And you never even hear about it any more. The only feminist organizations seem to be groups like this now. They just seem nervous and flighty, like a batch of old ladies with the vapors.
------------------------

They don't need it now. The ERA has basically been internalized by the population without having been passed.

All the things that conservatives warned about with passage of the ERA? The things that conservatives were mocked as loony alarmists for believing would take place? They've all effectively happened. Without the ERA.

323 Sean Hannity is like.. kindergarden conservatism. Glenn Beck is the next level up, high school level maybe. Cruz is college level.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at March 24, 2015 07:22 PM (39g3+)

324 Yup, the Cruz objections I've heard are the following:

Not Presidential looking

Serves up "conservative" platitudes but nothing with substance

Ewwwww GOD!

Talks like a televangelist

All bullshit and shallow.

332 Feminism. What a joke. I always bristle when people ask if I am a feminist. Don't I believe in equal pay for equal work? Yes. Don't I believe that a woman's place is where ever her dreams, hardwork, and talents can take her? I do. Don't I believe that women have often been treated like second class citizens throughout history? Well, yeah, because it is an historical fact. So, why is it that I do not consider myself a feminist? It's because of crap like this. It's also because of the fact that much of feminist thought is basically informed by Marxism, and I aint red. Feminism wouldn't be such a joke if it weren't for crap like this. Jazz hands, indeed!

334 They are Eloi, food for the Morlocks.

HG Wells may have missed the metaphor but its fitting that that bitch is British. They imported a few million mooslimbs for cheap labor but forgot to tell them to leave their death cult at the border, to late now.

And FWIW, a stiffy would not help her. She's a slob and from the looks of her hair, unkept as far as daily baths or showers.

337 This is amazing. We're actually witnessing one of the 4 tenets of Civilization (Gubmint, Media, Science, Academia) being torn down by Socialisms' retarded children, left to drown by their own hands.

341 Speaking of the hill to die on: after all the bullshit and ruined lives a line in the sand is drawn to preserve the ancient right of the academe to pork coeds?

I have mixed feeling here of course. As a TA I had a dalliance with one of my students. It was of course a gentler time being the Clinton years. We both were swept up in the bitter sweet throbbing of our crotches. So it was OK because we uh ... were young. Right ... we were young and that made it OK.

Still these professors banging away on the hot, toned, supple, sweet smelling bodies of their students is just disgusting and should be stopped. Why if I were a professor and one of my coed's ever suggested that I take her in the broom closet and bang her like a kettle drum then I'd have a good mind to put her across my knee and spank the firm white roundness of her backside a mild pink.

342 Student activists of the 70s turned academics are reaping what they worked to create in the current student climate. It will be fascinating to watch the current crop deal with venomous seeds they are planting for their own future in academia.

343 Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword....wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple Wordpress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
