It\u2019s around-the-clock political correct insanity.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For years, now, campus feminists have argued that men need to take more responsibility for sexual assault instead of putting the onus only on women. The cry has been, \u201cInstead of teaching women how to prevent rape, just teach men NOT TO RAPE.\u201d Fraternities have taken note, and some have even organized events to raise awareness, but when they do, they\u2019re chided for their efforts. But such is the case with liberalism.<\/p>\n<p>First t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saveservices.org\/2016\/05\/fraternity-banners-raising-awareness-about-sexual-assault-condemned-as-poor-taste-because-fraternities-are-rape-pits\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">his happened<\/a>\u00a0at Northwestern University:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fraternities at Northwestern University have been attacked over banners displayed outside fraternity houses for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. What offensive message did the depraved banners contain? The banners featured the chapter\u2019s name along with messages such as, \u201cXYZ supports survivors,\u201d \u201cXYZ stands against sexual violence\u201d and \u201cThis is everyone\u2019s problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The usual suspects from the sexual grievance cartel bellyached that the banners were in poor taste due to the pervasiveness of sexual assault in fraternities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And it\u00a0just played out again on the campus of the University of Arizona. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/heatst.com\/culture-wars\/universitys-women-center-cancelled-event-against-rape-by-fraternity-because-it-was-sexist\/?mod=sm_tw_post\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">HeatStreet<\/a>, the Upsilon Alpha Chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity (AEPi) organized a \u201cWalk A Mile In Her Shoes\u201d event where the men show up and March in high heels in a concerted effort to raise awareness and hopefully prevent sexual violence against women. But just four days before the event was to take place, the director of UA\u2019s Women\u2019s Resource Center, Krista Millay, contacted AEPi philanthropy chair Jack Kaplan to inform him they were canceling the event because they felt it was \u201csarcastic\u2026, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaplan had reached out to the women\u2019s center with a formal invitation to the fraternity\u2019s first annual event telling them, \u201cAs an organization, we respect, acknowledge, and genuinely appreciate the efforts that your group makes and we would like to help your cause.\u201d But Millay, on behalf of all feminists on campus, said the event would have \u201cno positive impact on anybody in any community\u201d and said it sounded like Kaplan was \u201cbegging to be thanked\u201d for organizing the event. Kaplan said he was referred to as a \u201cFratboy\u201d in the process. That\u2019s not very PC coming from a progressive that decries sexism.<\/p>\n<p>But then again, who can keep up when the rules change on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, this progressive lunacy is creating a hostile environment for men, as <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/instapundit\/250313\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instapundit<\/a> noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s almost as if their starting point is reflexive hostility toward fraternities, and men in general. Why are they receiving state and federal funding? I hope the Trump Education Department will investigate what clearly seems to be a hostile educational environment for male students.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here\u2019s an idea: How about professors get back to teaching the students instead of cultivating social justice warriors?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You gotta watch political correctness.
