Alyssa Funke, R.I.P.

She was a straight-A student and then she decided it would be smart to get an F on camera, so to speak: A 19-year-old college student committed suicide just two weeks after making her first pornographic video. Alyssa Funke, who starred in her first porn film earlier his year for a website called CastingCouch-X, used […]

Girl, 14, Met 27-Year-Old Man Online, Hid Him in Her Closet for Five Days

Creepiest crime story of the week: A North Carolina man has been arrested after police say he spent five days hiding in a 14-year-old girl’s closet and sexually assaulting her at night. Jarred Ashley Workman, 27, of Iredell County, was charged with 11 counts of statutory rape and five counts of statutory sex offense, according to WCNC. […]

#RapeCulture Eggs and Omelettes

Last night I linked A.J. Delgado’s item about the suspicious nature of the rape “epidemic” on college campuses. This phenomenon contradicts common sense: Overall, rates of violent crime (including rape) in the United States are on a downward trajectory, and universities have undertaken extraordinary programs to raise awareness (for both men and women) to prevent […]

Campus Rape Reports Increase?

A.J. Delgado has some interesting observations: [I]f recent reports are to be believed, there is an outright “epidemic” of rape on college campuses, one so grave that students are even complaining that school administrators are not going far enough in hunting down and punishing the accused. NPR confirmed last month that campus rape reports are on the rise and that […]

Feminism: Love as Oppression and Heterosexuality as Subordination

Insofar as […]

‘She Passed Out in a Bedroom . . . She Wasn’t Strong Enough to Push Him Away’

When @Belle_Knox — porn alias of Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major — began telling her story, everyone with an interest in the field of abnormal psychology took notice. Her explanation of why she was doing what she was doing simply didn’t add up. We were asked to believe that financial desperation […]

The #RapeCulture of Planned Parenthood

Enabling rapists because . . . choice! Planned Parenthood abortion clinics have come under fire countless times over the years for not reporting cases of statutory rape to authorities as required by state law. Now, in Arizona, officials says the abortion giant failed again to provide the proper report to authorities about a victim of […]

#RapeCulture? FBI: Illinois Democrat Bragged About Molesting 6-Year-Old Girl

When he resigned last month, many people were shocked to learn that an Illinois Democrat was under investigation for federal child pornography charges. Now court documents provide a lurid glimpse of The Pervert Party in action: Former Illinois State Rep. Keith Farnham was charged Monday with using both personal and state-owned computers to trade hundreds […]
