'Consent should be continuous: Liberal professor implies not asking during sex is rape

RT
Mon, 28 Oct 2019 19:23 UTC

For Georgetown Law professor Preston Mitchum, a long history of stamping all men as sexist is not egregious or woke enough. According to his implication, "most men" (especially heterosexuals) are also unknowingly rapists.

On his personal website, Mitchum describes himself as an "unapologetically Black and queer civil rights advocate, activist, writer, and professor." Although he graduated from Kent State University with a BA in Political Science, he seems to have recently taken up an interest in the psychology of sex and intimate relationships.

In one of his all-time worst takes, Mitchum recently tweeted that any man who doesn't regularly check for the continuation of consent during sexual intercourse is "selfish, likely violated consent, and bad at sex."

As an adjunct professor of law, it's disappointing that Mitchum didn't elaborate on the exact legal conditions that men must meet in order to protect themselves from becoming accidental rapists. For instance, at what interval should men be checking for their partner's sustained consent? It's a detail that seems as important as his assertion is ridiculous.

Journalist Kirill Vyshinsky, imprisoned for treason without trial, recounts his time in Ukrainian prison

In November 2018, I became aware of the case of Kirill Vyshinsky, a Ukrainian-Russian journalist and editor imprisoned in Ukraine without trial since May 2018, accused of high treason.

Soon after, I interviewed Vyshinsky via email. He described his arrest and the accusations against him as politically-motivated, "an attempt by the Ukrainian authorities to bolster the declining popularity of [then] President [Petro] Poroshenko in this election year."

Vyshinsky noted that his arrest was advancing the incessant anti-Russian hysteria now prevalent among Ukrainian authorities, as he holds dual Ukrainian and Russian citizenship. He noted that the charges against him, which pertain to a number of articles he published in 2014 (none of them authored by Vyshinsky), became of interest to Ukrainian authorities and intelligence services four years after they were published. To Vyshinsky, this supports the notion that neither the articles nor their editor were a security threat to Ukraine, instead, he says, they were a political card to be played.

Democrat congresswoman Katie Hill resigns after being caught on wife-sharing website, smoking bong with female staffer during threesomes

Comment: Where to start with this one? She was co-chair of the 'LGBT Caucus Committee', yet has a Nazi-era Iron Cross tattooed right next to her privates...

Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) will resign from Congress after reports suggested that she had inappropriate relationships with staffers in her congressional office and campaign, according to a report on Sunday.

Politico reported Sunday that Rep. Hill, an openly bisexual member of Congress, will resign from Congress by the end of the week, according to two Democrat sources.

The House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into Hill's reportedly improper sexual relationship with a male congressional staffer, a claim she has denied.

The House adopted new ethics rules this year banning romantic relationships between lawmakers and their staffers, in response to the #metoo movement.

Comment: From RT, noting the media rush to defend Hill:

Democratic congresswoman Katie Hill has resigned, after explicit evidence emerged that she'd had affairs with multiple staffers, but the spin machine is working overtime to portray her as an innocent victim of "revenge porn."

Hill announced her resignation on Sunday, just four days after the House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into whether she had a sexual relationship with her legislative director, Graham Kelly. The openly bisexual congresswoman has admitted to a relationship with a female campaign staffer - that affair began before she was elected, and is technically legal. And to hear the media tell it, Hill has done nothing wrong.

[...]

Hill holds a special place in history as the first woman to be investigated by the Ethics Committee for an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. The new rule was passed in the wake of #MeToo, and it's unlikely members of the House had women in mind when they imagined what unethical behavior would look like. But with the rule now in place, it would be regressive and positively anti-feminist to hold women to a lower standard of behavior than men.

Republicans have delighted in pointing out that Hill was a prominent voice opposing the nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. But Democrats have tried to turn that around, reminding the GOP that several women have accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment and that at least Hill's trysts were consensual.

Tom Fitton and others comment on the contrast with regard to Rep.Ihlan Omar's messy personal life:

USA Powerlifting bans trans women from competing as women

In a story that shouldn't be that hard to figure out, men shouldn't be competitive in women's sports. In fact they shouldn't be allowed to compete as women at all.

It's literally the epitome of a 7th grader playing on a 3rd grade sports team.

The folks at USA Powerlifting get that and have imposed a ban on all trans women trying to compete as women, you know because they're not women.

Comment: Nice that someone is still acknowledging the obvious.

Coach and Olympian: Allowing trans women to compete against biological women ruins sports

Editor's note: Current high school track coach and former Olympic runner Vicki Huber (sister of College Fix editor Dave Huber) weighs in on the growing trend among schools to allow transgender women to compete against biological women.

Call it nerdy, but my best memories of high school are the ones of times spent with my running club. The Delaware Sports Club met twice a week at a local track, as well as on weekends for longer runs. This club was not exclusive, as we were a group of anywhere from 30 to 100 people depending on the night, ages ranging from 14 to 80. We ran a lot, we laughed a lot, but the best part was getting to know so many people who shared my love of running.

One of the advantages of running with the club was that I got to train with boys and men. Even though our coach divided us into groups according to ability, that did sometimes mean that boys and girls, women and men, would be grouped together.

When it got closer to important races, many times my coach would have me run a workout with the older guys in their twenties who were very good runners - he wanted me to be pushed harder than the other women could push me.

84 year-old arrested for arson and shooting at mosque in France - 2 people injured - Suspect said he did it 'to avenge Notre Dame fire'

Mosque at Bayonne

An 84-year-old man torched the entrance to a French mosque and opened fire on two worshipers because he wanted to "avenge the destruction of Notre Dame Cathedral," according to new reports.

Claude Sinké, who ran for local office in 2015 under the banner of Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party, poured gasoline on a Bayonne mosque's front door and set it on fire Monday, ABC News reported.

"The suspect threw an incendiary device at the mosque and then drove away," local police union official Patrice Peyruqueou told The Telegraph. "He was apparently trying to set fire to the mosque when two worshipers intervened and he shot them."

The shooting victims were two men, 74 and 78. Sinké also allegedly poured gasoline on the younger victim's car and set it ablaze as he sat inside, according to ABC.

Both are hospitalized in serious but stable condition.

Comment: It's pretty much 'common knowledge' in France that radical Muslims torched Notre Dame. We're not saying we think that that was the case, but that it is what is commonly believed by people in France.

Family facing $2,500/day fines for firewood charity that delivers wood to the sick and elderly

In the land of the free, stacking firewood on your own property can and will lead to your extortion by government bureaucrats. You can be fined exorbitant amounts of money for this firewood even if you are collecting it to donate it to elderly, sick and struggling people to stay warm during the harsh winter. As TFTP has reported, if you refuse to pay these fines, you can and will be kidnapped. Or, if you resist this kidnapping, you may even be killed.

Shane McDaniel runs a charity on his own private property that collects downed trees from the local area and then cuts and splits it into firewood which is then delivered to those in need by volunteers. McDaniel has been doing this for years and was even featured on a local news show last year called Eric's Heroes which earned him the nickname "Robinwood."

McDaniel and his sons do most of the work and it takes them months of hard labor to get it all done.

"I couldn't even tell you (how much)," McDaniel said. "I've gone through more chainsaw blades than I have in a lifetime. But it took about 8-months of hard work; it's about 40 cords that we did, starting in March and finishing in September."

Jordan Peterson and daughter plagued by fraudulent books on Amazon

Mikhaila Peterson and her father Dr. Jordan Peterson have a bestselling book on Amazon about the carnivore diet. The only problem, it's not their book.

While Mikhaila has been vocal about her support for a thoroughly carnivorous diet, this book transcribes comments, interviews, and YouTube videos of the two Petersons and puts it together as a collection. It had no approval from either of the listed authors, no proceeds are heading their way, and fans have been fooled into buying the fake book with a horrendous, amateur photoshopped cover.

The guy who put the whole thing together is Johnny Rockermeier, a German YouTuber who has published one other book of Jordan Peterson transcriptions. His YouTube page is full of Peterson videos and interviews.

Unashamedly intolerant: Veganism promotes a religion of hate, attempts to guilt-trip & ridicule meat eaters

You've probably heard of transphobia or xenophobia or islamophobia. Well, welcome to the latest invented fashionable phobia, vegaphobia!

Vegaphobia refers to meat-eating purveyors of hate, who dislike and fear vegans. Veganism loves to present itself as a brave progressive doctrine fighting off hordes of uneducated angry carnivores.

In reality, it is the ideology of veganism which promotes a religion of hate. Veganism is unashamedly intolerant. Anti-meat campaigners are not prepared to allow others to decide for themselves what they should eat. That is why activists upholding the ideology of veganism feel entitled to invade supermarkets and prevent people from gaining access to the meat counter. They are zealously intolerant towards people who choose to adopt a diet that is at variance with their ideology.

Veganism has become an unpleasant and sanctimonious ideology that directs its energies towards imposing its lifestyle on society. This is an ideology that is not confined to the objective of eliminating the consumption of meat! Veganism is inextricably connected to a wider project of social engineering. It dislikes consumerism and looks down on people who enjoy driving their cars and taking their family on overseas holidays.

Gorbachev reveals how the Soviet Union could have been saved

RT

The Soviet Union's first and only president Mikhail Gorbachev says he 'fought to the last' to keep the USSR from falling apart. He believes it would have survived past 1991, had his planned democratic reforms been realized.

In his upcoming book 'What is at stake: The future of the global world,' Gorbachev describes what could have kept the Soviet republics as one, cohesive whole. The key, he says, would have been to restructure the union as a federation and give its members more autonomy - something he'd been trying to do before the USSR fell apart.

"My deep belief was that the way to the republics' political sovereignty, to their economic self-reliance, to the preservation of their identity, to the development of their culture, lay in the renewal of the union, in turning it into a democratic, real, effective federation, to which the republics would delegate part of their authority," Gorbachev says, in an excerpt from the book seen by Russian media.
