It is frequently said that the consumption of alcohol increased under prohibition, an effect somewhat like The Streisland Effect. That's what will happen here, I have no doubt.

Edit: Also when someone shows it without funding from them, they will probably compensate by turning up to give free publicity with their protests.

The movie can still be shown on campus; but not funded by the union or using union facilities. So now it can be advertised on campus as: "Come and see the movie the student union has BANNED".

Translation: we disagree with the ideas in the movie therefore we want to suppress awareness and discussion of it on campus.

xii. Club funds may not be used for any activities that discriminate or harass on the basis of sex, race, age, marital status, sexuality, religion, or disability; or defame, coerce, intimidate or physically threaten an individual or group;

...and so they discriminate on the basis of sex.

Heads up: This thread was linked on the USU private Facebook group. They're brigading it. Mods might want to think about stickieing.

At this point, I don't think that there is a "academic feminist lobby" at work. Universities are just frightened by any student (of a certain category) who claims to feel unsafe or "invisible." You could be the most respected scholar of gender studies at an Ivy League school. That still doesn't really count for much. Administrations are scared of their students. It comes down to "Do we allow a movie to be shown if somebody is claiming stress and PTSD? Who cares about a movie... Cancel the event."
