The talk is being given by James Mckeever, a sociology professor at Pierce. Here is a link to the only speech of his I could find on YouTube for International Women's Day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD7x6itEUAY
He labels men an oppressive group, says women have a right to be mad at men who don't recognize their privilege, says women are expected to do the "second shift" of housework that men don't have, says women are expected to take care of children which doesn't allow them to pursue a career the way men can.
Relevant to tonight, he says women are "by far the victims of sexualized violence...At a rate that far exceeds that of men." He responds to people saying men get raped too by saying "Yes, most often by other men though." He responds to men being the victims of domestic violence by saying "not at the extent that it does happen to women." He says he views those statements as excusing violence against women rather than genuinely caring about men. He brings up women dying and visiting emergency rooms at the hands of men as far dwarfing the number of men who die from the same type of violence.
I want to go and listen to what he has to say, but be able to speak up and have facts ready.
