Nancy Reagan, R.I.P.

Posted on | March 7, 2016 | 1 Comment

 

The headlines via Memeorandum:

Nancy Reagan, an Influential and
Stylish First Lady, Dies at 94
— New York Times

Nancy Reagan, Former First Lady, Dies at 94
— ABC News

Nancy Reagan — Dead at 94
— TMZ

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan Dead at 94
— NBC News

She was classy and shrewd, although some Reaganites criticized her for playing favorites among her presidents’ aides. The White House intrigues of the Reagan era were legendary and Nancy Reagan had her favorites, like Michael Deaver, which sometimes caused conflicts.

South African President Says Women Are Now Too Quick to Claim Harassment

Posted on | March 6, 2016 | 32 Comments

In an impromptu exchange with reporters Saturday, South African President Jacob Zuma said modern women no longer know how to accept a compliment: “But when men compliment you innocently, you say it’s harassment. You will miss out on good men and marriage.” The opposition party Democratic Alliance was swift to condemn Zuma’s remark as “outrageously sexist and an insult to every single woman in our country, especially those who are survivors of violence and sexual abuse”:

It is precisely this patriarchal attitude that allows for women to remain the subjects of high levels of violence and sexual abuse throughout our country. It is also this sort of thinking that keeps women locked out of the economy, and out of jobs that could bring a much needed income to their family. . . .
South Africans must join the DA in rejecting this blatant sexism. The best way they can do this is to register for change this weekend.
This is change that will end sexism, create jobs, and build an inclusive South Africa for all her people, men and women alike.

How could President Zuma’s remarks about men complimenting women “innocently” be condemned as “blatant sexism” and a “patriarchal attitude”? Are his critics saying that men should never compliment women and that every time a man compliments a woman he is engaged in harassment? Apparently so, according to South African feminist writer Louise Ferreira.

“It’s not flattering. If you do this, you are a misogynist, a participant in rape culture, and a straight up a–hole,” Ferreira wrote on Twitter.

Ms. Ferreira, who  describes herself as an “unapologetic queer socialist feminist,” went on a rant against Zuma as “a rampant misogynist,” saying compliments from men make women “feel uncomfortable, self-conscious and unsafe,” and categorically condemning male expressions of interest in women as “catcalling and street harassment.”

#FreeStacy #CPAC2016: I’ve Got Friends in Low Places (and Everywhere Else)

Posted on | March 5, 2016 | 20 Comments

 

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland
Everybody at CPAC is talking Trump (his supporters walked out on Ted Cruz) but I find it impossible to get excited about the presidential campaign. As I pointed out in my column at The American Spectator, Andrew Breitbart always said, “Politics is downstream from culture.” If conservatives will not fight on the level of culture, we will always lose on the level of politics. The Trump phenomenon (whether you are pro-Trump or anti-Trump) is a reflection of culture. People who don’t wish to think past the most recent headline will never understand why some people support Donald Trump, no matter what he says or does.

The #FreeStacy hashtag campaign continues. I had people ask me, basically, “What’s next?” To which I answered, basically, “We’ll see.” There are people more influential than me who are working behind the scenes to try to correct the situation. Some of these people are lawyers.

You can figure out what that means.

Speaking of which, how can we figure out what false rape accusations mean? Ashe Schow at the Washington Examiner writes:

Women who make false rape and sexual assault accusations are just looking for help, according to a social worker in Boise, Idaho.
Becky Waggaman with Warm Springs Counseling Center told Boise’s CBS affiliate KBOI2 that false accusers are troubled and looking for sympathy.
“Sexual assaults get a lot of attention,” Waggaman said. “They get a lot of media. If that’s [the] primary goal, then that’s what they’re going to go for.”
Waggaman said this was the case even when the accuser is anonymous.
“So it’s still out there, and they can say: ‘That’s me, that’s me,'” Waggaman said, “and they can get a lot of other people involved in their storytelling.” . . .
Waggaman’s comments come after a second sexual assault accusation in Boise proved to be false. And while Waggaman may be correct about men and women who completely make up accusations involving strangers, she misses other reasons people falsely report rape and sexual assault when the accused is known to the accuser. . . .
Some accusers — particularly those on college campuses — make accusations for revenge against a lover who did not want to continue with a relationship. Some accusations come after an accuser cheated on their significant other (the second case linked there involved a woman who slept with another man after a break-up, then claimed she was raped in a bid to get back together with her ex). Some accusations are the result of accusers failing classes or their grades slipping. The Rolling Stone rape hoaxer known as “Jackie” first made up her gang-rape story after being rebuffed by her crush, and only reported it to the school after her grades began to fall.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) The fact that women do sometimes make false accusations of sexual assault — indeed, as with Jackie Coakley and “Haven Monahan” at UVA, sometimes they invent imaginary rapists — is dismissed by feminists as an irrelevant and trivial matter.

Friday night at the Project Veritas party, I had the opportunity to talk to a Yale University sophomore who assured me that the expulsion of Jack Montague, senior captain of the basketball team, was “all bulls–t.” Although no details of the accusation against Montague have been made public, there was this story Friday in the Yale Daily News:

The father of former Yale men’s basketball captain Jack Montague told the New Haven Register on Thursday that Montague has been expelled from the University. . . .
“We have strict orders from our lawyers,” Jim Montague told the Register while explaining he had been advised not to comment. “Soon enough, I’d love to tell the other side of the story. It’s ridiculous, why he’s expelled. It’s probably going to set some sort of precedent. We’re trying to do things the gentleman’s way, so we’re keeping things close-knit. But you guys will get a story.”

In the climate of fear generated by feminist “rape culture” discourse at colleges and universities, false accusations have proliferated, and more than 100 male students have filed lawsuits claiming they were denied due process rights in the campus kangaroo court tribunals where these cases are heard. This is highly relevant to the situation at Yale, where administrators made a “peculiar decision to broaden the campus definition of ‘sexual assault,’ beyond all recognition,” as K.C. Johnson says. If the captain of Yale’s basketball team can be expelled on such a basis, who is safe? Guys: Never talk to a college girl.

#CPAC2016 Trump Pulls Out

Posted on | March 4, 2016 | 63 Comments

Unexpectedly:

Donald Trump has pulled out of the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, opting to campaign in Kansas and Florida instead.
The Trump campaign released a statement to reporters announcing that it would be in “Witchita, Kanasas [sic] for a major rally on Saturday prior to Caucus.”
“He will also be speaking at the Kansas Caucus and then departing for Orlando, Florida and a crowd of approximately 20,000 people or more,” the campaign said. “Because of this, he will not be able to speak at CPAC as he has done for many consecutive years.”
“Mr. Trump would like to thank [American Conservative Union Chairman] Matt Schlapp and all of the executives at CPAC and looks forward to returning to next year, hopefully as President of the United States,” the statement continued.

Last night, I tried to watch the Republican debate, which looked like a badly written “Saturday Night Live” sketch. It was horrible, undignified, and I really don’t care how big Donald Trump’s hands are, OK? We are living in Idiocracy, and political discourse is turning into a clown show.

N.C. Teacher, 30, Charged in Lesbian Sexual Affair With Female Student, 17

Posted on | March 4, 2016 | 117 Comments

 

Police in Fayetteville, N.C., say Laura Garrigus, 30, had sex with a 17-year-old girl who was her student at Cumberland International Early College on the campus of Fayetteville State University. Garrigus, a married mother of three, is charged with four counts of taking indecent liberties with a student and two counts of sexual offense with a student:

Each of the counts represent a different sexual encounter between October and December, investigators said. . . .
Despite the alleged victim’s age, and regardless of consent, under state law, students and teachers may not engage in inappropriate relationships. Investigators said Monday that evidence in this case does point toward consent.
“I would say that based in the fact that from October to December that this happened, it went two months without being reported, they had known each other prior… I would (be) led to believe that it’s a consensual,” [Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Sean] Swain said. . . .
Should Garrigus make bail, she will not be able to have contact with any children younger than 18, including her own, until the matter has been resolved in the court system. The instructions made Garrigus visibly disturbed.
“Do you understand that?” asked District Court Judge Cheri Siler-Mack, after she read the directive.
“Not even my own children?” Garrigus asked.
“You will not be around any child under the age of 18,” Siler-Mack repeated.

Garrigus is married to a police officer, Heavy.com reports, and her Facebook page included numerous references to Bible verses. Her arrest is the latest in several recent cases nationwide.

Kimberly Naquin

Kimberly Naquin, 26, was arrested Jan. 15 after it was learned that the high school geography teacher had sexually molested a teenage student, according to police in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Naquin had sex with the girl on at least 10 occasions over the course of nearly a year beginning in September 2014 when the girl was 16, police said.

Johnna Feazell

In December, former Missouri teacher Johnna Feazell, 48, was sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually molesting a 16-year-old girl she had known since the student was in seventh grade. Feazell, who had coached sports at a Webster County junior high school, was also convicted of tampering with evidence.

Tiffany Howard

In December, police in Austin, Texas, arrested former Bowie High School teacher Tiffany Howard, 41, on charges that she sexually molested a girl during a three-year period that began when the victim was 13. Howard had coached the girl in seventh grade.

  • Gaile Supp, 25, pleaded guilty in September 2014 to sexual battery, a third-degree felony. A former teacher at Clearfield High School in Utah, Supp had originally been charged with object rape, a first-degree felony, in April 2013 for allegedly committing a sexual act on an unwilling 17-year-old female student at her West Haven home.
  • California teacher Rebecca Eileen Diebolt, 35, was arrested in June 2014 after a woman told police that she and Diebolt had a four-year sexual relationship that began in 2004, when the victim was 15 and Diebolt was her language arts teacher and swim/water polo coach.
  • Dance teacher Nichol Marie Phelps, 30, was sentenced to prison in June 2014 after she pleaded guilty to having lesbian sex with a 15-year-old student at the Florida academy where Phelps taught.
  • Andrea Michelle Cardosa, 40, was charged with 16 felony counts in February 2014 after two former female students accused her of sexually molesting them. One accuser said Cardosa started having sex with her when she was only 12.
  • Tonya Drueppel was arrested in January 2014 on charges that she had sex with a middle-school girl beginning in October 2012, when the victim was 13.
  • Amanda Michelle Feenstra, 32, pleaded guilty in October 2013 to having sex with a 17-year-old girl who was a student at the Texas high school where Feenstra was a dance teacher.

  • Nicole Wooten was arrested in February 2013 on charges that she had sex with a girl in 2005 and 2006, when the victim was a 12-year-old eighth-grader.

But it’s not like there’s a trend here or anything . . .
