"Dominic Strauss-Kahn is a powerful global figure who has been accused of a string of sexual offences and is still under investigation for his role in a prostitution ring. By inviting him to speak, the Cambridge Union risks colluding with attitudes that condone or trivialise violence against women. Ironically the event comes one day after International Women's Day (8th March) when people around the globe will be taking action on sexual and other violence against women." - Holly Dustin, Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition

Major General Ray Shields, the adjutant general of New York, speaks to members of the New York National Guard headquarters staff during a ceremony held on April 5, 2023 at New York National Guard headquarters in Latham, New York, to mark April 2023 as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Shields emphasized that the New York National Guard takes incidents of sexual assault and harassment very seriously and refers reported cases to civilian law enforcement when possible.

Washington DC, October 4, 2018. Thousands gathered here today for a rally and march to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. The very large, diverse* and energized crowd of protesters assembled at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Court House and then marched to the U.S. Supreme Court for a rally with speeches. Judge Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by at least three women and of lying to Congress numerous times by many prominent legislators. Today's action is a continuation of weeks of nationwide non-violent protests against Kavenaugh that have resulted in over a thousand arrests. Over three hundred were arrested in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium just this evening. Despite the best efforts of the protesters it is expected that the morally bankrupt Senate Republicans will stumble Kavenaugh's confirmation over the finish line on Friday or Saturday. Why? Kavanaugh will compliantly hand President Donald J. Trump a "get out of jail free" card if an anticipated and much deserved impeachment proceeding is launched when the balance of power in Congress shifts to the Democrats.
*Women led the way by far in numbers and were the chief organizers, the most militant and the most arrested.

Saw this today on a subway advert (77th St.)-- crude, sad, but somehow brilliant. I think the "writer" meant to say "Abner Louima," referring to the Haitian immigrant who was assaulted by the NYPD in the late '90s in one of the most unimaginable ways possible.

(Staff Photos by Rob Mattson/Amherst College, Office of Communications) Students, faculty and staff gather on the Valentine Quad to "Take the Pledge" as part of the "It's on Us" initiative to stop sexual assault, Thursday afternoon, October 9, 2014, on the Amherst College campus in Amherst, Mass.

In 2013, Elise Clougherty accused her ex-boyfriend of a year, Joe Lonsdale, of abuse and sexual assault. She reported her allegations to Stanford University, where she was a student and he was her mentor. Stanford found Lonsdale responsible for sexual assault and banned him from the campus for 10 years.
In early November 2015, Stanford reversed the ban, citing "new evidence" in the case.
That "new evidence" was apparently emails sent from Clougherty to Lonsdale during their relationship that raised doubts about her accusations. The emails were not included in the original investigation against Lonsdale, and were only brought to the attention of Stanford administrators due to a New York Times article about the case.
Related Story: www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2575923
The author of that article, Emily Bazelon, wrote that as she was conducting her own investigation of the case for her article, she realized the truth was much more muddled than the story Clougherty told Stanford. She scolded Stanford for not obtaining the emails - which predated the school's investigation - during the process.
"The emails that persuaded Marcia Pope [the school investigator] to change her mind predated Stanford's inquiries; they should have been part of the investigation all along," Bazelon wrote. "Lonsdale's lawyers told me that he offered the emails to Pope back in 2014, when she first investigated Clougherty's rape claims. Stanford's spokeswoman initially told me the university couldn't comment on this, but after an earlier version of this article was published, she said that the lawyers' claim is 'completely false.' In any case, I'm not sure what stopped Lonsdale from just handing the emails over."
I won't recount the lengthy saga of Clougherty and Lonsdale. To summarize, two adults dated for about a year, and after a bad breakup one accused the other of sexual assault. Clougherty told her friends she didn't want to have sex with Lonsdale. Her emails to him tell a different story, but she explains them away as her trying to prove she loved him so he wouldn't abuse her. Lonsdale's friends believed Clougherty and her mother were after his money, and her mother sought his help for business ventures and networking.
I encourage you to read the entire story, even though it is lengthy.
It certainly shouldn't have taken a reporter to uncover emails from Clougherty to Lonsdale saying, "Kiss kiss kiss, you are super handsome," "You are a sexy man" and "It was so nice sleeping with you."
Regular readers will know that even if those messages had been included in the initial investigation, there's no guarantee Lonsdale would have been spared. In numerous other accusations, messages that negate the accuser's story have been explained away by school administrators.
At Columbia University, friendly and even loving messages between Emma Sulkowicz and Paul Nungesser were explained away with claims that she was only saying those things to open a dialogue about an encounter she had later decided was a rape.
At Vassar College, messages from Peter Yu's accuser - apologizing for sleeping with him and telling him she had a "wonderful time" - were dismissed as "not correctly reflect[ing] her feelings" because she was in a state of "shock and disbelief."
Lonsdale still faces punishment for entering into a relationship with his mentee and not disclosing it to the university. Both parties also agreed to settle their corresponding lawsuits, but details have not been disclosed.
Bazelon brings it home with this reminder for current male college students: "Joe Lonsdale had the resources to prevail in getting more from the university. Not everyone does."

A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.
