So, Georgetown asked that the video of the Christina Hoff Sommers lecture be raped.
Georgetown has no problem raping free speech.

It’s worse than they think. Due to campus security cams, they were video-ed being video-ed.

They simply had no reasonable expectation of privacy, especially from the organizers cameras. They were aware cameras were allowed by their own use of them. Their demands are baseless, and any further actions they take would likely place them into the realm of creating a hostile environment based on political beliefs,which I believe is legally actionable.

I would highly recommend the book “Unlearning Liberty,” by Greg Lukianoff. Great discussion of this very topic.

Actually, most of us choke back laughter when asked the “socialization” question. And the truthful response, “Duh. That’s why I keep my little darling at home. So that I can socialize her to be a human.”

How difficult would it be to edit a Groucho nose and glasses onto the students complaining?

IF you go the event, you get videoed. I think we ALL need to see the entire video, sans edits. Are they ashamed of looking stupid or are some of these “students” actually professional protesters? There’s a great article on A Voice for Men that shows how many of the feminist protestors at a Canadian university were really professional activists:

This is a must-read article if you want a better understanding of the student protests on campus. They are being agitated within by certain departments and without by professional activists.

So, who put a gun to their heads and forced them to attend the meeting, on video? Hm, I’ll bet no one?

He he, I read this piece, then happened to venture over to /r/KotakuInAction/ on reddit. Lo and behold, it had been linked to there.

Not sure how any editing of the video changes the image for the university or the students. What’s done is done. If they feel shame and worry about reputations, well, good!

Aw hell – these college crybabies need to get some Depends if they’re going to crap themselves every time someone “triggers” them, “safe space” or no “safe space.”

If they can’t handle the real world, lock ‘em up and throw away the key. These oxygen thieves are more bother than they’re worth. Let someone more deserving take their slot at university ~

I reject censorship and have made a torrent of the lecture to keep it online. www38.zippyshare(dot)com/v/tudZTtX6/file.html

Maybe we should send women into combat. The ladies look hot in uniform and fatigues. Then again, they look great in civilian dress too. Perhaps we can compromise, and ensure that women are armed. America does not yet face an external existential threat.

Such youth didn’t create this nonsense. They were led into it, taught it, indoctrinated into it by faculty. We have a crisis in our university system, our whole education system. It’s all infected.
