Will Separating Men From Women in College Prevent Rape?




Were there as many rapes of women by men students before women were allowed to attend college? Will preventing all rapes succeed if women are not allowed to attend college?

Massachusetts Women State Officials Silent About Criminal Abuse of Women In Business




[From article]

Well, last year, according to the feds, at least four of the union’s enforcers attempted to shakedown a reality TV show, “Top Chef,” whose star is a woman named Padma Lakshmi, the ex-wife of Salman Rushdie.
She survived Muslim terrorists, only to come to Boston and be set upon by Democrat terrorists who called her, among other things, a “bleepin’ whore.” The plug uglies also threatened to “break her face.”

 

According to the indictment, these loyal Democrats “yelled profanities and racial and homophobic slurs at the Crew and others.”
So where are all the female Democrat politicians who have been endorsed by these thugs, whose photographs appear on Local 25’s website — AG Maura Healey, Treasurer Deb Goldberg, Auditor Suzanne Bump, U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark? Where are their statements of outrage about this misogynist violence by loyal Democrats against a woman — an immigrant?



Yesterday I tweeted at all of them who in 2014 so readily sought and accepted the endorsements of the International Brotherhood of He-man Woman-haters and Gay-bashers, asking the feminists to come on my radio show to explain how they could accept the endorsement and cash of such fiends.
When the phone didn’t ring, I knew it was Maura, Deb, Suzanne and Katherine. Somehow they don’t seem very interested in their supporters actually threatening violence against a woman.
Why is it always the feds indicting these alleged extortionists, who in this case were calling a female TV star a “whore”? Did Maura Healey give them a good leaving-alone just because Local 25 endorsed her, the way her predecessor Marsha Coakley would have done?
[. . .]
Repeat after Maura and Deb and Katherine and Suzanne — nothing to see here, folks, move along.

United States Is A Nation Based On Judeo Christian Values




[From article]
When I heard that Obama had let in 280,000 Muslims into the United States in the last year alone, I didn't think refugees. I thought population transfer. At that rate, Muslims, already a sizeable presence in places like Dearborn, Michigan and Paterson, NJ, will create metropolitan caliphates all across the US before long.
Which started me thinking: is it important for America to be still a Judeo-Christian nation? Our founding was not based on the teachings of the Koran. Sharia law was not embedded in our Constitution. The basis of our Constitution, as well as the Declaration of Independence, is Judeo-Christian values. That means a respect for private property, individual liberties, freedom of choice, and above all, religious tolerance.
[. . .]
We have no state religion which forces people to believe anything, and we do not kill people who fail to believe in any particular religion.
Because we have equality of the sexes, and respect for the individual, women can work if they choose and wear whatever they like.
[. . .]
Private property rights provide more protection for the individual, and the rule of law provides stability that enables millions of people to seek better lives.
Sadly, the free market barely exists in most Muslim countries, keeping millions in poverty. Incitement is the rule, whether it is incitement against Jews, or Christians, or even different kinds of Muslims.
[. . .]
We have seen the results in Europe, the no-go zones in Great Britain, the hunting down of Jews in France, the assassination of politicians in the Netherlands and cartoonists in Denmark. We have already seen a number engage in terrorism here in America, like the Boston bombers. If we are to continue being an open, tolerant nation, is that compatible with admitting large numbers of Muslims? If not, why won't any candidate speak out on that?

[From article]
Kimberly Theidon, a former Harvard professor who in March filed a lawsuit against Harvard for denying her tenure, has received tenure at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of International Affairs and will begin teaching there in the fall. Her appointment begins July 1.
Theidon, who was an associate anthropology professor at Harvard, will teach courses about human security at the Tufts graduate school as their Henry J. Leir Professor of International Humanitarian Studies when she begins teaching in September. For the past year, she has held the position of associate research professor at the Fletcher School, also serving as a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.

Former Professor Suing University Granted Tenure At Tufts

[From article]
The complaint—which names Harvard and the Harvard Corporation as defendants—reiterates several allegations that Theidon previously made in a complaint she filed roughly a year ago with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination alleging that Harvard’s decision to deny her tenure violated the federal anti-sex discrimination law Title IX. She later withdrew that complaint and indicated her plans to sue the University.
Prior to filing the initial charge, Theidon had appealed Harvard’s decision to deny her tenure.
Theidon’s Thursday complaint alleges that Harvard “retaliat[ed] against her by denying her tenure immediately after and because...she supported” a student campaign to reexamine the school’s response to complaints of sexual assault.
Additionally, Theidon alleges in the complaint that she was denied tenure because she opposed what she viewed as a “sexually hostile environment” for women who complained about sexual assault and harassment at Harvard. Finally, the 34-page complaint alleges that the University denied Theidon tenure because of her gender.

Only Democracy in Middle East Named As Only Anti Women Nation




Latest example why many people do not take the UN seriously.

[From article]
the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). CSW ends its annual meeting on Friday, March 20 by condemning only one of the 193 UN member states for violating women’s rights – Israel.
[. . .]
Not Sudan. Where domestic violence is not prohibited. There is no minimum age for “consensual” sex. The legal age of marriage for girls is ten. 88% of women under 50 have undergone female genital mutilation. And women are denied equal rights in marriage, inheritance and divorce.
Not Iran. Where every woman who registered as a presidential candidate in the last election was disqualified. “Adultery” is punishable by death by stoning. Women who fight back against rapists and kill their attackers are executed. The constitution bars female judges. And women must obtain the consent of their husbands to work outside the home.
In fact, not only is there no possibility that the UN Commission on the Status of Women will criticize Iran, Iran is an elected member of CSW. Sudan – whose president has been indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity – is currently a CSW Vice-Chair.
[. . .]
The Palestinians will continue to use the UN and the International Criminal Court to attempt to accomplish with lethal politics what they have never been able to do with lethal force. And President Obama will hold open the door.

German Lingerie Greater Threat Than Beheadings




[From article]
I write in the book a lot about some of the smaller things, which I think are even more worrying in a way than the beheadings - because you can't ignore a beheading. Even if you talk rubbish about it, as Obama and Cameron do, you have to address it. When they're chopping the heads off of your citizens on YouTube, Obama and Cameron have to say something about it. The stuff they don't have to say anything about is in some ways more disturbing...
I talk about a German lingerie ad where you see this sexy woman…she's got no clothes on, she's getting ready to go on a date, and she's putting on all this sexy German lingerie and she's sliding up the panties up her legs and hooking up the bra ...and then just at the final moment, you see her pull a burqa over her head and step out into the street…
And the message is that…these Islamo-babes are just as hot under the burqa as German women, and you can be sexy wearing a burqa and…Muslim woman like hot sexy lingerie [just as much as everyone else]…
The reality is, if a Muslim woman — a Muslim actress — had played that role, she'd have been dead. She'd have been honor-killed. Her father would have thrown her off the balcony, as happens in Sweden; or run over her in the car as happened in Peoria, Arizona; or chopped her head off as happened in upstate New York. No Muslim woman can say when her father says, or husband says, "Where were you today, honey?" she says, "Oh, I did this great German lingerie ad. We spent eight hours filming me walking around the apartment in my underwear." She'd be dead!

Yale University Academics Protest Women's Rights Speaker



Ayaan Hirsi Ali

[From article]
Raised Muslim, but now an opponent of organized religion, Hirsi Ali is a tireless advocate for the rights of women and girls in the Muslim world. For years, she has fought against the practices of female genital mutilation, forced marriage, child marriage, and honor killings — all of which occur routinely in the Middle East and parts of Africa. Hirsi Ali has harsh words for those who commit such acts in the name of Islam and for those who deny women and girls the right to education and personal autonomy on cultural grounds.
You would think that advocacy on behalf of basic human freedoms would be uncontroversial. But in this brave new world where “Islamophobia” is a sin greater than actual violence, you would be wrong. After all, who are we to judge the cultural practices of others?
[. . .]



the Yale Muslim Student Association, which demanded (without success) that the Buckley Program rescind the invitation (a la Brandeis) or, at the very least, that it provide a counter-speaker to refute Hirsi Ali’s points.
Why? Because her presence at Yale threatened to make “Muslims on campus feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.”



(Apparently, it is now the responsibility of universities to protect students from ideas that may offend or put them ill-at-ease.)

Muslim Kidnappings, Sharia Law


[From article]
I have written a book dedicated to connecting the dots between Islamic law and such kidnappings, rapes and other forms of oppression of women. But instead of helping our voices be heard, the leftist media and academia have ignored us, called us names and done everything in their power to silence us. They have treated the American people like children who are told they should not be outraged about far away cultural practices — because all cultures are equal.
[. . .]
Advocates of cultural relativism who are brutal in judging conservative and Christian Americans, and call them slanderous names, have no problem in tolerating Islamic tyranny over women and other minorities.
[. . .]
Sharia legalizes the taking of female hostages as sexual slaves in the jihad battle against non-Muslims. And since the jihad battle against non-Muslims is taught as a permanent institution, the kidnapping, rape and enslavement can happen at any time.
[. . .]
It is true that Sharia forbids the criticism of Islam, but we should never forget that the US Constitution does not.

Ayaan Hirsi's Response to Brandeis University Cowardice; What You Can Do




Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) "Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty."

Brandeis University has rescinded its offer of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born activist whose work has focused on the barbaric misogyny rampant in Islamic societies, like the one in which she was raised. Capitulating to a campaign by CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and voluble student and faculty protests, Brandeis President Frederick Lawrence yesterday withdrew the honor. He has publicly shamed a courageous woman. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism funding case involving Hamas.
Please read the eloquent and noble response of Ayaan Hirsi Ali below, and then please reach out to the Brandeis administration and express your outrage at this shameful action.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s statement:

“Yesterday Brandeis University decided to withdraw an honorary degree they were to confer upon me next month during their Commencement exercises. I wish to dissociate myself from the university’s statement, which implies that I was in any way consulted about this decision. On the contrary, I was completely shocked when President Frederick Lawrence called me—just a few hours before issuing a public statement—to say that such a decision had been made.

“When Brandeis approached me with the offer of an honorary degree, I accepted partly because of the institution’s distinguished history; it was founded in 1948, in the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, as a co-educational, nonsectarian university at a time when many American universities still imposed rigid admission quotas on Jewish students. I assumed that Brandeis intended to honor me for my work as a defender of the rights of women against abuses that are often religious in origin. For over a decade, I have spoken out against such practices as female genital mutilation, so-called ‘honor killings,’ and applications of Sharia Law that justify such forms of domestic abuse as wife beating or child beating. Part of my work has been to question the role of Islam in legitimizing such abhorrent practices. So I was not surprised when my usual critics, notably the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), protested against my being honored in this way.

“What did surprise me was the behavior of Brandeis. Having spent many months planning for me to speak to its students at Commencement, the university yesterday announced that it could not “overlook certain of my past statements,” which it had not previously been aware of. Yet my critics have long specialized in selective quotation – lines from interviews taken out of context – designed to misrepresent me and my work. It is scarcely credible that Brandeis did not know this when they initially offered me the degree.

“What was initially intended as an honor has now devolved into a moment of shaming. Yet the slur on my reputation is not the worst aspect of this episode. More deplorable is that an institution set up on the basis of religious freedom should today so deeply betray its own founding principles. The ‘spirit of free expression’ referred to in the Brandeis statement has been stifled here, as my critics have achieved their objective of preventing me from addressing the graduating Class of 2014. Neither Brandeis nor my critics knew or even inquired as to what I might say. They simply wanted me to be silenced. I regret that very much.

“Not content with a public disavowal, Brandeis has invited me ‘to join us on campus in the future to engage in a dialogue about these important issues.’ Sadly, in words and deeds, the university has already spoken its piece. I have no wish to ‘engage’ in such one-sided dialogue. I can only wish the Class of 2014 the best of luck—and hope that they will go forth to be better advocates for free expression and free thought than their alma mater.

“I take this opportunity to thank all those who have supported me and my work on behalf of oppressed woman and girls everywhere.”

Lenin Began Destruction of Family With Women's Rights and Abortion


[From article]
Lenin specifically targeted marriage and family in his effort to build a "New Soviet Man."
[. . .]
What they had in mind was something far more radical: An all-out war on "old and outdated" institutions like marriage and family so dominance of the state could be achieved. Instead of marriage, there would be more disposable "unions of affection and comradeship."
The first salvo in the "liberation" of the family was easy divorce, established almost immediately by the Bolsheviks. Abortion on demand — until then illegal in every country in the world — came in 1920.

Harvard University Seduces Politicians, Who Enjoy The Attention




"Decker said that she thought part of the solution to the gender disparity was to increase the number of women who staff political offices because she said those staffers are more likely to eventually run for political office themselves." Isn't that one of the problems with the kind of people who run for office? Decker is one of many elected officials who never held a real job. Their entire adult life is spent in the rarified fantasy atmosphere of politics and government. The real world pays the salaries and taxes for the misguided liberal programs, not government officials. Like the academic world, politicians produce hot air, which is not even used to melt snow in winter. The Spending Other Peoples Money Society thrives at universities and in government offices. Why is it taking so long for the President and Fellows of Harvard College to recognize Rep. Decker, giving her an award for her unique accomplishments? Why are no conservative women permitted at these conferences? Is it true what the feminists say? "They are not women."

Building A Women's Commission Empire

[This letter was published in the print edition of The Cambridge Chronicle on Thursday October 18, 2012, page A11.] 

Cambridge Officials are on the cutting edge of increasing government intrusion into the lives of citizens. Simultaneously they demand more funding, always in the name of good. "Leah Cefalo, of the Police Department, said [. . .] the pressures of the recession make it harder for victims to leave their abuser. [. . .] because of the economy [. . .] there’s a depletion of resources.” Should there be higher taxes on the rich to fund assistance to women in bad relationships? 

"what is the role of government when you’re not safe in your home?” said Councilor Marjorie Decker. Police and the courts cannot act without jurisdiction, a concept Marjorie Decker has had difficulty understanding for many years. Where is jurisdiction for government to come into homes to watch for domestic violence? Was the Fourth Amendment repealed again? I thought women and homosexuals wanted government out of the bedroom, and off of their bodies? 

Executive Director Risa Mednick said "economic stresses on the family are exacerbating domestic violence, very broadly (broadly?) defined, [. . .] the people who are coming to us for assistance are poorer than ever before.” Is this about women or poor people? Are only poor women abused by poor men? Is the women's commission lobbying for higher taxes or for a better economy? Do women's advocates work to elect Romney? There is more money available for such services when the economy is thriving. Or does the Commission demand higher taxes of the rich to pay for the abuses of the poor?

Although "the Cambridge Police Department has not reported any increase in the number of reports of domestic violence since 2004" Nancy Ryan (didn't she retire?) sounds the alarm saying "the courts are still receiving requests for restraining orders every day and families who can’t afford to separate are staying together even though there’s violence in the home,” [Nancy] Ryan said. “We have to find the next new level of prevention." Is not getting married a form of prevention of domestic abuse? Do women need help making choices about the men they date and marry? Does the Commission promote that form of prevention? Does Ryan encourage splitting up families? Isn't that the reason for not deporting illegal aliens? How can she be so cruel? 

This sounds like "We demand more funds to hire more commissioners, and to buy more safe houses for the empire we want for the women's commission. The police and the courts and those evil men are discriminating against us again. And we don't want those ugly breeders to talk to us, or we'll call the police.
