This campus activity news site reports all the zany, totalitarian initiatives being foisted on normal college students by Leftist faculty members and fellow students of the 'Looney Left' persuasion. This particular article highlights efforts to establish as fact, that 'one-in-five' female college students will become victims of sexual assault. Of course in order to make that stat work they must include any unwanted advance, including kissing or touching. Of course they start by demonizing anyone who disagrees with them. TM

A recent study dismisses objections to the “one-in-five” statistic for campus sexual assault as “misunderstandings,” saying the controversy “is ultimately about values.”

According to the authors, conservative women like Heather Mac Donald, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Naomi Schaefer Riley are “confused” about the “methods and results” of previous sexual assault research, suggesting that the real reason they dispute the “one-in-five” statistic is “because this topic has implications for gender relations, power, and sexuality.”

“Evaluating The One-in-Five Statistic: Women’s Risk of Sexual Assault While in College” is a meta-analysis of sexual assault statistics research that was published in the April edition of The Journal of Sex Research.

Rejecting legal definitions because “researchers need not be constrained” by laws that “generally represent the interests of dominant groups,” they decided to include “kissing or groping” in their definition of sexual assault, but not “verbal pressure.”

Seeking to explain how other commentators have drawn such radically different conclusions about the matter, sometimes even based on the same studies, they suggest that the controversy is caused by “misunderstandings” on the part of their opponents, whom they also accuse of knee-jerk conclusions based on “perceived implications” of the research.

“Many critics of the one-in-five statistic have argued that researchers’ definitions of sexual assault were too broad, including trivial experiences,” they noted, citing Christina Hoff Sommers as one such “confused” commentator because she has argued that using such a broad definition “trivializes the horrific pain and suffering of survivors.”

Calling Sommers position “problematic for several reasons,” the researchers contend that “the effects of non-consensual non-penetrative sexual contact are not necessarily less severe than the effects of nonconsensual sexual penetration.”

And the college world just keeps getting zanier and zanier! TM

And they like to say the Freedom of Speech movement began in Berkeley. Well after the Milo Yiannopoulos event on February 1 and then this April 12th event with David Horowitz was cancelled, it is safe to say it is going to die in Berkeley. TM

"Mr. Horowitz is an alumnus of UC Berkeley, and he is in effect unable to speak on the campus of his own alma mater because he was deemed too provocative to fringe elements and anarchists in the city of Berkeley."

"Ultimately, the crucial test as to whether or not Berkeley really is the home of the Free Speech Movement will be on April 27, when Ann Coulter is set to speak on illegal immigration. The university has imposed a number of restrictions on this event as well, although so far we have not had to cancel. Sadly, the likelihood for leftist violence remains at an all-time high."

Truth is a "myth", a "white supremacist concept".
