There is no “campus rape crisis”; it’s just another hoax by totalitarian feminists, if you’ll pardon the redundancy, like wage discrimination against women, and male sexual violence on Super Bowl weekend. Feminists are leveraging their hoax, as usual, to expand their power over all aspects of campus life, and further terrorize normal, decent white men. As Heather Mac Donald has shown, campus rape centers are quiet, luxuriously financed places, where the phones almost never ring.
The Dawishas are not fighting a (non-existent) “campus rape crisis”; rather, they are seeking to force every instructor on campus to make a political loyalty oath in every class.
Their talk of “an atmosphere free of harassment, sexual violence, and gender discrimination,” is an Orwellian exercise. They seek to impose an atmosphere lousy with harassment and gender discrimination, and one in which the real rapists will have a field day, because the only people standing in their way will have been terrorized out of helping.
I believe that the Dawishas want more, not less campus rape.
The 2006-2007 Duke Rape Hoax exposed feminists’ priorities, for all the world to see. They promoted the immediately transparent hoax of prostitute-stripper Crystal Gail Mangum, in order to try and railroad three innocent, virtuous white men. When the hoax was exposed, the evil feminists ignored the facts, and just changed their cover story from “rape” to “racism.”
Meanwhile, Duke had a real rape crisis, but the feminists didn’t care about real rape victims, because they were all white women being raped by black men.
Crystal Gail Mangum went on to commit attempted murder against one boyfriend, Milton Walker, and murder another one, Reginald Daye. Had Duke’s feminists actually fought for justice, Mangum would have gone to jail for her crimes against the white Duke Three, and Reginald Daye would probably still be alive. The feminists have Daye’s blood on their hands.
Feminists do not care about women, they just hate white men.
How Syllabi Can Help Combat Sexual Assault
By Nadia Dawisha and Karen Dawisha

While we deal with students primarily in the classroom, we are not insensitive to their larger struggles. As a new academic year approaches, one scourge in particular stands out: the [non-existent] epidemic of sexual violence on campus. Is there anything professors can do to complement the work done by counseling centers? There is—and it involves adding only one paragraph to your syllabi.
The campus sexual-assault bill this past summer, plus the many [media hoaxes supporting] media exposés about the campus rape crisis, have raised awareness of Title IX. Title IX mandates that colleges receiving federal funding provide gender equity, not just in sports, but in all areas of campus life, meaning that all students should be able to study in an atmosphere free of harassment, sexual violence, and gender discrimination. [Read this Orwellian-style, because the operatives mean the opposite of their words’ literal meaning.]
By taking the simple measures of incorporating Title IX language into syllabi and giving students the names and numbers of the primary campus resources, we as educators can do our part to provide support for victims and help end the epidemic of campus sexual violence.
Consider the example of Laura Dunn.
Dunn was just a freshman at the University of Wisconsin when her life changed forever. The dedicated student-athlete was out drinking with new friends from her crew team when two of her male team members offered to take her to another party. Instead, she says, they drove her to their place and took turns sexually assaulting her as she drifted in and out of consciousness, begging them to stop.
Laura’s story is not unusual. Sexual violence has been labeled by the Centers for Disease Control as a major public-health problem, affecting approximately one-fifth of American women. The percentages are staggering for younger women; it is estimated that between 20 to 25 percent [hoax alert!] will be the victims of a completed or attempted rape during their college careers alone. College men are not immune either; 6 percent will be victims of some form of sexual assault during their college tenure [What on earth are they talking about?!]. That said, sexual violence remains a gendered [sic] crime, with most victims women and most perpetrators men.
According to a 2007 report, first-year students like Laura are especially susceptible, with the first three months of the freshman year the most recognized time for sexual assaults. Not wanting to accept the fact that she had been raped and not knowing that she had the right to report, Dunn, like so many survivors, stayed silent. For over a year she told no one, while she fought to focus on her schoolwork. Her grades dropped, she lost weight, she struggled with nightmares, and she broke up with her boyfriend, whom she never told about her attack.
[I have no idea whether Laura Dunn is telling the truth, but I have no intention of taking her word at face value. In the world of leftwing activism, it is the rule that the biggest activists claim to be “victims,” and are almost always hoaxers. Laura Dunn’s shtick involves violating the rights of men who are accused of rape. She clearly uses her claimed history of victimization as a political card to get away with persecuting heterosexual men. Even if she were truly a rape victim, she would be out of line in exploiting her histry. And even if she were truly a rape victim, she would not serve the Dawisha’s grubby little political purposes. You don’t throw campus life and classroom freedom overboard, because one coed was raped.]
But then things changed. During a summer philosophy class she was finally given the tools to take back control over her life. While discussing how rape is used as a weapon of war, the professor stopped the class to mention that sexual assault is also prevalent [hoax alert!] on college campuses, and that the dean of students was required by Title IX to handle assault cases [This sounds legally dubious. It is not a college dean’s place to investigate crimes. The people legally responsible for handling rape and all other criminal cases are the police and prosecutors. Feminists love the idea of having college administrators “handle” rape case, so as to make it much easier to violate the rights of falsely accused, normal white men.] As soon as class was over, Laura went to the dean of students and reported, launching a two-year process that would prove stressful but would lead to her decade of work in survivor advocacy.
Language that we have incorporated into our own syllabi could easily be modified to suit other campus situations:
Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender is a Civil Rights offense [again, legally dubious] subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here …
We advise, in addition to including the Title IX coordinator, mental-health coordinator, and campus police, also mentioning a confidential resource. The Campus Sexual Assault Study indicated that when students know they can talk confidentially, they are more likely to report.
[They are politicizing rape.]
A statement in a syllabus might also send a message of accountability to potential perpetrators. In a now-classic study, the authors found that the perceived threat of formal sanctions (being dismissed from the university or arrested) had a significant deterrent effect on potential perpetrators of sexual assault. In a 2002 study that utilized self-reporting [!], the majority of undetected rapists were found to be repeat rapists, and the results of this study were replicated in a subsequent 2009 study of Navy personnel. These studies suggest that many perpetrators continue to offend because they have not been caught and do not think they will ever be caught, or if caught, sanctioned. Depriving them of the culture of silence may limit their actions by increasing their fear of the consequences. [I would be highly skeptical of any study these writers call “classic.”]
Thus, a statement in a syllabus could send a multipronged message: Survivors have the information needed, and the campus community as a whole is watching and will hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Many departments now mandate that syllabi include the university’s religious-holiday policy, the code of academic integrity, and contact information for disability support services. Since a quarter of our female students are or will be survivors of sexual violence [lie!], we believe that a statement on Title IX is just as important. One simple paragraph could provide your students with the tools they need to come forward and report the violence they have suffered. The more we normalize the conversation, the easier it becomes.

When I was in college I personally knew of 4 girls that had been "sexually assaulted", actually two of them weren't actual penetration but would probably come under a category of sexual battery of some kind. Ask a feminist, I'm sure they'd have a name for it.
Yes, I do believe rape does happen in college. As much as feminists would like there to be? Or as much as they believe there is? No, not even close to the ludicrous claims they make, but yes it does happen. As for the rape cases I personally knew of 2 of them involved black men and white females. That seems to be in line with such a high percentage of national reports of rape in schools involving black men. Very unscientific but I don't care, I know what I see and can see through the media PC camouflage.
This creates a problem with feminists who, like you say, hate white men most of all, they have political alliances with black supremist groups and, on the personal level, just plain like the idea of using black men against white men.
How do you rant against rape and somehow evade the issue of of black on white rape in this country? One way to do it is ratchet up the hysteria anytime you catch a white guy involved in or accused of sexual violence or remain relatively silent when a black man rapes a white girl and never say anything whatsoever about race, they're quite good at that. Gotta hand it to the feminists they somehow manage to walk that fine line. Jerry PDX
