| What 'war on women'? |
| 2014-09-24 |
| h/t Instapundit On Friday, the White House announced its "It's On Us" initiative aimed at combating sexual assaults on college campuses. I'm all in favor of combating sexual assault, but the first priority in combating a problem is understanding it. That's not the White House's first priority. Roughly six weeks before election day, its chief concern is to translate an exciting social media campaign into a get-out-the-vote operation. Accurate statistics are of limited use in that regard because rape and sexual assault have been declining for decades. So the Obama administration and its allied activist groups trot out the claim that there is a rape epidemic victimizing 1 in 5 women on college campuses. This conveniently horrifying number is a classic example of being too terrible to check. If it were true, it would mean that rape would be more prevalent on elite campuses than in many of the most impoverished and crime-ridden communities. It comes from tendentious Department of Justice surveys that count "attempted forced kissing" and other potentially caddish acts that even the DOJ admits "are not criminal." |

| #6 This also a coordinated Fed attack on due process rights. The Fed is dictating the rules, and the consequences for not adhering.The universities then run with that, adding to the effort their own societal reorganization agendas. |

| #5 The terrible oppression of Male White Privilege. Keep it up. SJW, like the AIDS virus, destroys the body's ability to resist the diseases of history and will die with it. It's called nihilism for a reason. |

| #3 is to bar all white collar professions to white men. Posted by g(r)omgoru I concur, with only one minor edit. |

| #2 IMO, it's more than this. The ultimate outcome (which will never be reached because USA will collapse on the way) is to bar all white collar professions to men. |

| #1 On college campuses, feminist and gender studies departments depend almost entirely on a constant drumbeat of crisis-mongering to keep their increasingly irrelevant courses alive. The gender studies departments are only following long-running funding and sustainment campaigns undertaken by other entitlement groups. There should be no surprise here. |
