I found this article on the Voice for Men website:
Danielle D’Entremont, Bellwether?
In it the author says:
Returning to current events, now in the news is a Queen’s University student, allegedly assaulted by an unknown man who, according to the “victim” knew her name; Danielle d’Entremont.
The Mainstream reporting of this event is presently drawing conclusions that d’Entremont’s activism as a campus feminist, and her efforts to silence academic speakers on men’s human rights issues, may be related to her alleged assault. Apparently, d’Entremont’s participation in a campus feminist effort to shut down a men’s human rights issues awareness group may also be a contributing factor.
The Huffpo reporting on the story even includes, almost like a bonus a throw-away comment about allegations of sexual assault, made against members of the men’s hockey team. There might even be an actual sexual assault in there somewhere. Unfortunately, in the climate enthusiastic consent, yes-means-no if she changed her mind later, and of a-rapist-in-every-closet-and-under-every-bed, it’s hard read about on-campus rape accusations and take them seriously.
But if some pea-brain fancying himself a champion of men’s human rights indeed was responsible for her chipped tooth and allegedly punched face, that hypothetical amateur pugilist will see the entire Men’s Rights Movement turn against him. I’ll be one of them.
However, most men’s human rights activists paying attention to this case believe that If Danielle d’Entremont was actually assaulted, it was almost certainly somebody with a history of her antagonism and abuse, and straightforward intolerant bigotry by d’Entremont driving their assault. Maybe Danielle’s participation in campus though policing and censorship contributed, maybe not.
But what if something else is happening?
What if our society has begun, under the smog of sex-selective feminist jurisprudence and justice to seek redress of grievance by avenues not within the law? If the law has ceased to provide reliable justice based on social caste, then eventually, groups held in contempt by law, treated as unworthy of protection from victimization will address grievances by other means. - John Hembling
This is in response to an incident about which I previously posted:
Campus Violence and Gender Issues
I find Hembling's response (especially that in bold) to be disconcerting. He seems to be suggesting that men need to become violent in order to protect their rights and that the attacker may have been justified. Have we really reached this point?
