ACCORDING TO Fox News, Virginia State Police say they have evidence that links Jesse Matthew, the 32-year-old black football player and former taxi driver who is suspected of abducting missing University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, with the kidnapping and murder of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington in 2009. Harrington was last seen at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville on Oct. 17, 2009. Her body was found three months later.

FROM Lifesitenews, the story of Janna Darnelle:

In the fall of 2007, my husband of almost ten years told me that he was gay and that he wanted a divorce. In an instant, the world that I had known and loved—the life we had built together—was shattered. (more…)

  MARK STEYN writes: [M]any westerners are willing to live with a certain amount of decapitation rather than abandon the multiculti pieties.

  IN ADDITION to threatening the due process rights of the accused, California's new campus anti-sexual assault bill, signed by Governor Moonbeam yesterday, is a major affirmation of fornication. The government is essentially saying that it's okay for students to engage in de-personalized promiscuity before marriage, just as long as they go about it the right way.

LYDIA SHERMAN writes:

You once wrote on the topic of the charities that drain our personal resources. After recently attending an evening tea social gathering, (or what I had been told was a formal tea), I noticed that many of the women there were pushing charity-type ministries, and were rarely at home. Many of them were working for multiple charities and marketing several multi-level businesses at the same time.

The women made a point of informing me of their particular ministries and charities. I was cornered by a woman who insisted on relating her experiences leading up to being involved in a ministry. Her “testimony” lasted 20 minutes.

  SOPHIA writes: Here is a disturbing news article about a German man who had been adopted as a child and later married his biological sister, had four children with her, and was sent to jail under incest laws. The German Ethics Council now on his side has dismissed the protection of the family as "abstract" subordinating it to "sexual self-determination," while three of their children happen to be disabled! Western governments, so obsessed with talk of "rights," have ironically tossed natural law and the actual rights that follow from it out the window.

THIS IS Alton Alexander Nolten, 30, the man who is accused of beheading a co-worker at an Oklahoma food plant yesterday. Nolten was fired from the plant Thursday for unknown reasons and returned to Vaughan Foods in apparent revenge. He was shot by the CEO of the company after beheading Colleen Hufford and stabbing another woman.

Nolen converted to Islam in prison, a fairly common phenomenon among black U.S. inmates. According to The Daily Mail:

  TEXANNE writes: Following this National Review article about Wesleyan University in Connecticut and its decision to order fraternities to become coed, there's a great line from a commenter: Every institution is going to require both male and female representation except marriage.

STEFAN MOLYNEUX reviews the Disney movie Maleficent, which he offers as a disturbing look at the selfishness and self-glorification of women today.  The moral of the movie: “Men are disposable slaves. Women are dark, justified goddesses of retaliatory magic.”

“It is not healthy to tell women that men are bad. It is not healthy to tell daughters that fathers are bad. It is not healthy to tell wives that husbands are bad, because the absence of fathers is killing the world,” he says.

“A society without respect for men has no respect for nature, or property, or currency, or solvency, for its own children or its own future, which shortens every day.”

But for a little off-color language in this, which is why I wouldn’t recommend listening to it when children are in the room, this is very well done. However, Molyneux ventures into “men’s rights” hyperbole when he says women are proven to be more abusive than men. No one could possibly prove that.

ACCORDING to The Daily Mail:

Jesse ‘LJ’ Matthew, the man charged with the abduction of missing UVA student Hannah Graham, was accused of rape when he studied at Liberty University, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.

Matthew was expelled from the Christian university founded by Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 2002, following the alleged sex attack on a female student but was not charged with any crime, former teammates said. (more…)

THIS is Hannah Graham as she headed out for a party in Charlottesville, Va. on the night of Friday, Sept. 12. She has not been seen since 1:20 a.m. that Saturday morning and chances are slim that she will ever be seen alive again. The 18-year-old University of Virginia student was apparently intoxicated when she left a party off campus and headed back to her campus apartment alone. She texted friends to say she was lost. Surveillance videos show her walking through the Downtown Mall area and going into a bar. She was last seen with Jesse Matthew, a 32-year-old black nursing assistant whom it is highly unlikely she had ever met before. Matthew reported to the police station Saturday, Sept. 20., asked for a lawyer and then fled. He has been charged with abduction, but is still at large.

WHY did men so readily surrender many of their privileges in the face of angry demands for equality and systematic discrimination against themselves? At The Brussels Journal, Richard Cocks blames the innate male impulse to help women in distress:

What happened when women in the early sixties cried for help? The mostly male Congress and Senate acted almost immediately and passed laws to ease women’s access to the job market. As men have always done, we seek to be the hero and savior for women. However, this time there was a twist. Women claim to be victims. So far so good. However, if they are victims, who are the oppressors? The men have turned up, eager to attack the enemy; eager to defend womankind. Where is this nasty oppressor? Who is it exactly? The response, of course, is YOU are. You, the man, are the oppressor. It can’t be anyone else.

This sets up a conflict in men which is entirely driven by traditional expectations of the male role. And it sets up a war within men themselves, not just between the sexes. This is the basis for modern male self-hatred.

The male reaction to feminism is strong evidence against feminist claims of oppression.

MARY writes:

Kevin Williams wrote in his article, “Rape Epidemic Is a Fiction:”

“Evidence very strongly suggests that rapists frequently use intoxicants, openly or surreptitiously, as part of a strategy conceived with malice aforethought to render their victims vulnerable. It might be useful to know how often this is the case and how often it works or fails to work, but we will not know if we refuse to ask the question.”

In this late stage of moral decline can we actually be this guileless? Alcohol has been used since the beginning of time to lower defenses, in business, in politics, and, yes, for sex. Are we really going to put men who openly share alcohol and drugs with young women in the same category as those who do it surreptitiously? This is where the argument breaks down, for in one stroke they incriminate all college men looking for action – and it seems most are. So they are all rapists…? This presents a beautiful dilemma, simply solved, for if loosening up with alcohol and drugs in looking for action is an offense then it must be bad; if it is bad it must be discouraged; and it can be easily discouraged by putting men and women back in separate dorms, enforcing sobriety, banning pornography on campus, etc., etc. But, alas, the women are looking for action, too – just on their own terms. And they cannot see the forest for the trees.

Socially speaking, college campuses are populated with modern young feminists and men who desire them. Is being a cad now a capital offense? The elephant in the room is that feminism itself released these cads from the moral constraints that used to hold them in check; feminism unleashed these public-school-sex-educated men on young feminists, who are proving to be surprisingly vulnerable – they have been stripped of their erstwhile protections: modesty, embarrassment, sobriety, chaperones, wise mothers, strong fathers, and good old horse sense. Feminism bellowed, “We don’t need any stinking protection!”, and now resort to a sort of soft lynching to punish the cad: more legal overreach to try to “correct” human nature. This all leaves the modern young feminist looking helpless indeed. (more…)
