Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday

Posted on | March 23, 2015 | 29 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

I was discussing SF with a friend of mine tonight, and we both agreed that the main problem with Charles Stross’ Laundry novels (wherein MI-6 meets the Great Old Ones) is that there’s too much bizarre and disgusting sex (see Equoid) and not enough sex involving Bob’s rather deadly, musically inclined spouse, Dr. Dominique “Mo” Howard. We agreed that in the movie, it didn’t much matter who plays Bob, but Mo absolutely has to be played by Christina Hendricks. Thus, tonight’s illustration.

The Special Hell. You’re going there.
(Ms. Hendricks as Saffron, a.k.a. “Our Mrs. Reynolds”, from “Firefly”)

I’m a huge Ted Cruz fan. I like the fact that he is willing to admit that the ethanol mandate is bogus and needs to go. I’d love to see him do this, but it would probably be a Bad Move:

The #NYFLC2015 Agenda

Posted on | March 22, 2015 | 15 Comments

OK, I previously included excerpts of this extraordinarily queer program from the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference. Now I have uploaded the full document:

#NYFLC2015 Feminist Conference Agenda

As I said previously, I must apologize for the low quality of this scan because the Feminist Majority Agenda didn’t list the panel descriptions or name the participants on their web site. This was scanned using a smartphone by a person who deserves credit, but until that person grants me permission to credit them, I’m protecting my source from the Feminist Wrath Brigades.

Now, here’s where I need help from readers: Go through the list of speakers and identify (in the comments) every speaker who identifies as “queer,” “lesbian,” “trans,” LGBT, etc. Just a list of names will do, but if somebody could count them and then calculate what percentage of the speakers were self-identified weirdos, that would be helpful, too. Links to online biographies of the speakers would be an extra bonus.

They’re Here! They’re Queer!

Posted on | March 22, 2015 | 33 Comments

They’re the #NYFLC2015! The Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Young Feminist Leadership Conference is meeting this weekend in Washington, D.C., but if you mistook this event for a lesbian festival, the confusion is not your fault. Last year, several attendees at the conference complained that the event was not “queer” enough. No one could make that complaint this year. A blue-haired nose-pierced teenager who last year demanded “more queer feminism” this year was crying in joy over a speech by lesbian activist Darlene Nipper.

Queer feminists were everywhere at this year’s conference, including on the “Sex Positivity” panel, where college girls learned about “exploring and deconstructing gender norms and promoting self-love.”

There was a “Queering Your Campus” panel offering college girls “inclusive discussions . . . to organize on campus for gender-neutral restrooms or housing” and “sustain a queer campus community.”

Queering Your Campus

Nancy Aragon, National Campus Organizer, FMF
Rukia Brooks, Feminist Collective, University of South Carolina
Cassidy Hammond, Feminists Organizing Real Transformation Here (FORTH), SUNY Purchase
Beth Feldstein, Wellesley College
Samantha Master, Youth and Campus Engagement Manager, Human Rights Campaign
Koda Mehalba, President, The Alliance, Salem State University

And then, of course, there was the “LGBTQ Frontiers” panel because “it’s time for our activism around LGBTQ+ to expand,” teaching “what true liberation and equality for LGBTQ people looks like.”

LGBTQ Frontiers: Beyond Marriage Equality

Gautam Raghavan, Vice President of Policy, The Gill Foundation
Shelley Hallstead, Law Students for Reproductive Justice Fellow, National Center for Lesbian Rights
Laura Durson, Director, Center for American Progress LBGTQ Research and Communications Project
Cathy Santos, Secretary & Co-Founder of Trans Students Advisory Committee, Feminist Collective, University of South Carolina


Just included a couple of biographies to point out that these college girls were spending the weekend in Washington with Nancy Aragon, “a proud queer feminist,” and Samantha Master, a “Black, queer, feminist activist,” among others. Hey, did you notice the name of Carmen Rios here? Yeah, we remember the “raging lesbian feminist” Carmen Rios.

Just a few tweets of possible interest to feminist youth:

Please excuse the low-quality scans from the #NYFLC2015 program. The Feminist Majority Agenda didn’t list the panel descriptions or name the participants on their web site — I wonder why? — and so my source scanned in pages using a smartphone. Not going to name my source without permission. I wouldn’t want an agent of the patriarchy to be targeted for “inclusivity” by a mob of angry lesbians.

John Doe v. Cornell

Posted on | March 22, 2015 | 40 Comments

One night in December 2013, a male Cornell University student hooked up with a female student at the woman’s apartment. Both students had been drinking. More than two months later, the woman “filed a complaint against Plaintiff, alleging that Plaintiff raped Jane Doe on December 14, 2013, while she was incapacitated.” Note the word “Plaintiff” in that sentence and also note the word “complaint.” The female student did not file criminal charges; rather, she complained to university officials who conducted their own “investigation” and expelled the male student, who is now suing the university, saying that officials violated his rights:

In a 53-page complaint, the student’s attorneys launch a wide-ranging critique of both Cornell’s handling of the specific case and the overall framework of the university’s judicial system.
The lawsuit also assails the university’s decision in 2013 to lower the burden of proof for sexual assault cases from a “clear and convincing” standard of evidence to the much-lower “preponderance” standard of evidence.
But Cornell failed to administer even this lower standard of evidence fairly, the lawsuit contends.

You can read more at Legal Insurrection, where Professor William Jacobson notes that this is at least the third pending lawsuit by male students who have been subjected to unjust disciplinary proceedings for sexual assault claims. (Hat-tip: Instapundit.)

Rape is a felony. If someone rapes you, call the cops. Don’t wait two months and then demand that university officials to “investigate” your hookup and punish a guy because your casual hookup was unpleasant or embarrassing. While it is always impossible to know the truth of what happened in a “he-said/she-said” incident like this, let me point out what should be obvious: This was a one-night stand that occurred after four witnesses had been at the apartment with John Doe and his accuser, and evidently knew he spent the night with her. It would be a common-sense inference that, because this hookup was not followed by further sexual intimacy or a romantic relationship, that there was a lack of any deep attraction between John Doe and his accuser.

Ergo, to continue our common-sense inference, the accuser felt remorse about her behavior. Yet post-hookup remorse is (a) not uncommon and (b) not proof that the hookup was rape.

Also: RAAAAACISM!

Can we be honest about our common-sense inferences here? Read the complaint closely. Both of these students were majoring in chemical engineering. The female is of German ancestry, while the male student is from California, studied piano for 10 years, was part of his high school “Science Bowl” club, and “John Doe’s immigrant parents strive for the ‘American Dream’ of educating John Doe at a prestigious University.”

I got $20 that says this guy is Asian-American, probably of Chinese ancestry. Anybody want to bet against me? No, you don’t.

OK, so the Teutonic Goddess spends the night with this geeky Asian guy. She perceives a subsequent diminution of her social status, and it is that which inspires her vengeful claim of rape.

If my common-sense inference is correct — c’mon, I got $20 here — then John Doe v. Cornell would be at least the second such recent case. At Vassar College, Chinese-American student Peter Wu was accused of rape by white girl Mary Claire Walker.

A blog is not an appropriate venue to pass judgment on college students’ sexual activities, and neither is a college disciplinary process the appropriate venue to try a rape case. The sooner we all agree that rape is a felony, which should always and only be prosecuted in criminal courts, the better. Until such time, however, I’ll be here imposing judgment in these cases, employing the vast resources of slut-shaming misogyny available to me as an agent of male supremacy — including that most notorious weapon of the heteronormative patriarchy, common sense.

Question To #OccupyResoluteDesk Next Time His Piehole’s Open Near A Reporter

Posted on | March 21, 2015 | 18 Comments

by Smitty

The no-talent rodeo clown hath spoken: Netanyahu’s comments ‘erode the name of democracy’. OK, it’s not clear what that means. It’s still ‘democracy’, and not ’emocracy’ or ‘democrac’. Because if we’re going to hammer Bibi for saying something stupid, e.g.:

Following Netanyahu’s pre-election statement that there would be no Palestinian state if he were re-elected, Obama “indicated to him that given his statements prior to the election, it is going to be hard to find a path” forward on negotiations, Obama said.
Obama also said that he took issue with Netanyahu’s campaign trail warning that Israeli Arabs were headed to the polls “in droves.”

Shouldn’t the president at least be precise in the criticism? How do you erode the name of an abstract concept whose symbol is fairly constant, irrespective of who is throwing it in the urinal like an aromatic cake?

But that’s just a pedantic quibble. More practically, isn’t President Obama the same jackwagon who discussed voting as the ‘best revenge’?

So, if we can get Jake Tapper or Major Garrett a free moment, I’d like to have them inquire of ol’ Stompyfoot McPointyfinger:

How, exactly, does he think Netanyahu’s campaign trail remarks substantially differ from his 2012 entreaty?

I was pretty concerned about Obama when he made that remark, as it’s a challenge to reconcile tempting others to behave in a spirit of vengeance with Christian faith. But I’ll keep praying for BHO and the world. And I certainly should try use the respect level due the office, and not the respect his record has earned, in addressing BHO. Blogging is scant recompense for the ridiculous damage he’s inflicting, though.
