This Week in Victimhood Identity Politics

Wednesday, December 24th, 2014

Enough news coming from the Social Justice Warrior set to merit a separate post:

  • The top ten feminist fiascoes of 2014. Includes the Rolling Stone UVA rape hoax, Wendy Davis and Rotherham. And Amanda Marcotte earned her own entry…
  • More light on the shoddy fact-checking of that discredited Rolling Stone UVA rape piece: “[Elisabeth] Garber-Paul’s work history includes the abortion activist group RH Reality Check and an internship at the progressive magazine The Nation.”
  • “UMich Feminists Harass Conservative Muslim Who Wrote Political Correctness Satire.” I would say it’s a veritable buffet of intersectionality, but we all know that the “conservative” part automatically strips away any victimhood status…
  • Will diversity destroy the left? “The Left is divided—although far from evenly—between those who believe that “identity” is the engine of history and those who believe that class struggle serves the same function.”
  • Social Justice Warriors decide that heavy metal would be their next target for imposing political correctness. Result? #MetalGate.
  • More: “Metalheads do not want to be told what to think by a self-appointed cabal determining what is ‘true’ based on their ideological agenda. It does not matter which agenda that is, only that it swallows up truth and metal equally and uses them as means toward its real goal, which is power and control.”
  • North Carolina public uses vocabulary test to promote how swell Islam is.

    University of Michigan Makes It A Crime Not To Have Sex

    Friday, September 26th, 2014

    Reason brings us word that victimhood identity politics efforts to redefine campus sexual assault have now reached some perfect Bizarro World conclusion: It’s now “sexual violence” to withhold sex.

    From the UM official page:

    Sexual violence
    Examples of sexual violence include: discounting the partner’s feelings regarding sex; criticizing the partner sexually; touching the partner sexually in inappropriate and uncomfortable ways; withholding sex and affection; always demanding sex; forcing partner to strip as a form of humiliation (maybe in front of children), to witness sexual acts, to participate in uncomfortable sex or sex after an episode of violence, to have sex with other people; and using objects and/or weapons to hurt during sex or threats to back up demands for sex.

    If withholding sex is now “sexual violence,” just think of the lawsuit possibilities! Under this definition, I could sue just about every woman in America!

    Finally, feminism has succeeded twisting logic so far that just about the entire population is guilty of “domestic violence.”

    Except those who have never been asked for sex. Hmm, who might that be?
