WHINEY VICTIM JUDGE STROTHER: ” MY LIFE WAS THREATENED”

            JUDGE STROTHER: VICTIM

Strother told KWKT he has also received death threats via email in response to the plea deal.

  Poor Judge Strother got a death threat.  First one?  In how many years?  Whiner.  I know three people who were threatened by retired Justice Felipe Reyna on a scooter,   last Summer, you wuss.

Campus Rape and Title IX

[stophatingwomensociety-blog]

January 29 2017 - by by Gina Benevento [⚠️: sexual assault] "Affirmative consent, for those who don't know, is the idea that if you don't consent at every stage of a sexual encounter, it's rape. That means asking for every kiss and asking for every boob squeeze. It's almost as if feminists want everyone to remain celibate." These words were spoken last autumn to a packed auditorium of students at #AuburnUniversity in #Alabama during a speech called How Feminism Hurts Women by #MiloYiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos is senior editor for the far-right media outlet #BreitbartNews. The man who hired him is #StephenBannon, ex-CEO of Breitbart News and President Donald Trump's #chiefstrategist. Students didn't have to guess at Yiannopoulos' political affiliation: he addressed the students sporting a "Team Trump" jersey. On his tour of American universities, Yiannopoulos is often joined by #ChristinaHoffSommers, who in 2014 wrote an article entitled Rape Culture is a Panic Where Paranoia, Censorship and False Accusations Flourish which appeared in #Timemagazine. Sommers has also written for #AVoiceforMen, considered a #hatesite by the #SouthernLawPovertyCenter. Their viewpoints directly contradict the #UnitedStates government's Department of Justice website, which states that 21 percent of female undergraduate students - approximately one in five - experience #sexualassault while at #university. Yiannopoulos and Sommers dismiss this number. They don't like similar statistics from the Center for Disease Control or the Association of American Universities either. They also don't like that former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have been using this statistic to draw attention to - and to allocate resources for - #campusrape. It angers them. Yiannopoulos and Sommers aren't alone. Behind them is a burgeoning #mensrightsmovement who believe there is a vast and powerful women's lobby, backed by the #WhiteHouse, the #NationalOrganizationforWomen and rich female celebrities, among others. Their agenda? " It's about man-hating," Yiannopoulos says . #whitesupremacy#rapeculture#maleentitlement#patriarchy#sexism#misogyny#stophatingwomen#violenceagainstwomen

A BLACK PENIS IS NEVER A RAPE PASS

CC CAMPUS JOCK RAPE CULTURES

[greyreign]

Here's how Trump administration official Betsy DeVos' Title IX plan hurts survivors of campus sexual assault, from someone who knows firsthand what this grueling process is like. » Subscribe to NowThis: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe In Trump news, here’s why advocates say Betsy DeVos' new Title IX plan could hurt survivors. Jess Davidson is the Interim Executive Director of End Rape on Campus, an organization that aims to end sexual violence on campus. After being sexually assaulted in college, Davidson decided to file a Title IX complaint. Davidson: Had this regulation been enacted during the time when I went through with my case the university wouldn't have allowed me to move forward. It wouldn’t have counted. ... And so I decided to move forward with the complaint so that I could feel safe on campus. But like the majority of students I was sexually assaulted off campus. It was barely off campus by literally just a stone's throw. But because of an arbitrary line and getting sexually assaulted on the wrong side of the street. Had this regulation been enacted during the time when I went through with my case the university wouldn't have allowed me to move forward. It wouldn’t have counted. Under DeVos’ proposed Title IX regulations, colleges would not be held liable unless the incident occurred on campus or involves a student organization. Davidson: 'That's ridiculous because seeing my assaillant in the library it was causing me to have to leave the library to go throw up. It was extremely disruptive to my education. It didn't matter where I had been sexually assaulted. What mattered was how it was imparting my ability to finish school and to graduate. ' Title IX is a civil rights law that bans sex-based discrimination at any educational institution that receives federal funding. In November 2018, DeVos proposed new regulations that Davidson says would limit a school’s liability, narrow the definition of sexual harassment, allow mediation and cross-examination. The proposed regulations wont go into effect until a 60-day comment period ends on Jan 30. The Department of Education is required to respond to all comments it believes are substantial and then make a decision. #TitleIX #SexualAssault #Rape #CampusRape #betsydevos Connect with NowThis » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis is your premier news outlet providing you with all the videos you need to stay up to date on all the latest in trending news.

A California Rape Story

Here it is, this is the story everyone wants to talk about but no one wants to hear. The story of a rape victim and the Stanford Swimmer who ruined her life. If you've only scrolled past the articles and news stories at this point, you might be wondering what all the hype is about. After all, this isn't the first college rape story to hit the headlines. What makes this stand out above the rest resides in (at least) two things: the boy was given a jaw-dropping-ly light sentence (6 months + parole to be exact) and the victim (who was found unconscious) wrote an intensely moving letter to her attacker that could and should move even the toughest soul to tears. You can read the letter to yourself on Buzzfeed, or you could listen to CNN's Ashleigh Banfield read it aloud (warning: this letter includes graphic details of the attack and examination afterwards). 

Judge Aaron Persky explained the reason Brock Turner was given such a "pass" was because he believed, "a prison sentence would have a severe impact on him... I think he will not be a severe danger to others." A great deal of this leniency has been attributed to convincing done by the attacker's father who emphasized the consequences these "20 minutes of action" have already had on his son. This decision by Judge Persky and the influence of Brock Turner's father caused a storm of outrage on the internet as men, women, mothers, fathers, and rape victims alike have voiced their displeasure with this light (but legal) sentence. Fathers have written letters to the father of the attacker, Vice President Joe Biden wrote an open letter to the 23-year-old victim... everyone has their piece to say (including a few sarcastic and hilarious videos by YouTuber, Philip DeFranco, posted on his Facebook page).

Many are demanding justice after such a decision and the current pledge to remove Judge Persky from the bench is gaining steam, receiving almost a million signatures. In light of all the disgust aimed towards Brock Turner, Brock Turner's father, Judge Persky, and (for some) the entire justice system, many have flocked to the aid of the anonymous victim. This includes the cast of GIRLS whose viral video gives a powerful message about assault.

Some have been rejoicing in the recent news that this former Stanford swimmer will, in fact, receive some "real world consequences" as he has just been banned for life by USA Swimming. This means that he will not be eligible to compete in any sanctioned events, including the Olympic Trials. Perhaps some justice will be seen after all as the overemphasis on this student's swimming ability has, from the beginning, been repulsively misplaced. 

Instead of letting this story be about Brock Tuner more than it already has, we should turn our eyes to the sobering fact that this 23-year-old victim was not the first, or the last, to be placed in a situation that compromised both their dignity and sense of worth. Now that this one incident has captured the world's attention, we have the opportunity to give voice and recognition to the other victims of rape that have before been silent. 

Every 2 minutes, an American is sexually assaulted while only 6 out of every 1,000 perpetrators end up in prison. Women 18-24 experience an elevated risk of sexual violence, but they often do not report to law enforcement.

According to a 2014 report released by the U.S. government, one in five college students experience sexual assault during their college years. Here's a few more campus trends discovered by Princeton Review and College Navigator. The data sets may be discovered on edsmart.org. 

Party schools experience 600% more on-campus sexual assaults than stone-cold-sober schools. 

The least religious schools experience 3400% more on-campus sexual assaults than the most religious schools.

The most liberal student schools experience 1800% more on-campus sexual assaults than the most conservative schools.

These facts may or may not surprise you. Statistically speaking, the bravery of this 23-year-old women is rare. But, if the victim was not assaulted in public and discovered by two witnesses, would she have reported it in the first place? Would the world ever have the opportunity to hear her letter and speak out against this unjust? Or, would she end up being another generic number found somewhere on the internet, posted somewhere in an article, that a handful of people might read?

No matter the events that lead up to this tragedy-turned-internet-controversy, lives were permanently altered on that day in 2014. And if there is any lingering confusion about sexual consent, maybe you will find this British Tea video helpful.

The father of Brock Turner (the ex-Stanford student who raped an unconscious woman) has written a letter defending his son. While many feel he was given a light sentence (especially for the reasoning behind it) his father says that the punishment is still too steep for "20 minutes of action" (May I draw your attention to the quotation marks.) Furthermore, he believes his son can benefit society by warning college students about the dangers of intoxication and sexual promiscuity (May I draw your attention to the missing "and don't rape people" portion of this proposed seminar.) He feels that his son's life has been irrevocably changed. (May I draw your attention to the lack of acknowledgement of the other person's life who has been "irrevocably changed.") At this point, this is my only reaction.

Sikivu Hutchinson: Tthe phrase “man of faith” resonates with many black audiences. In this instance it’s designed to elicit an unquestioning cultural solidarity that Parker does not deserve.
