"Ryerson administration has confirmed that the university will be absorbing the cost of the additional security for the February 6 CAFÉ event..."

My favorite comment:

I love that the university is charging extra to increase security

to protect a woman from violent women protesters,

and the woman's protested message is that women can be violent.

I'm still donating to CAFE, though--keep up the good work!

This is almost certainly in response to the article published in a national newspaper. It has embarrassed the university sufficiently to force a backdown.

A great victory for CAFE - and Barbara Kay!

Good on you, Sheldon Levy. This is hopefully a gesture that will be appreciated even by those who dislike the MRM, but value freedom of expression.

AeneaLamia · 2014-02-04T22:50:01+00:00

This is really good, how silly was it that the university expected the speaker (CAFE) to pay to protect themselves from the universities own violent members?

Wow, this is great!

And the feminist partisans lose another engagement.

Awesome. Now they can take the money that I and others donated to cover the fee and use it to promote future CAFE events. Go CAFE! March forward!

Translation: Our lawyer told us there'd be no way to defend against our clearly discriminatory actions if a lawsuit was filed.

According to a staffer, Ryerson president Sheldon Levy felt the cost was a barrier to freedom of expression.

More likely they were embarassed that they were caught out with their own bigotry.

Good for them.

A university can only justify such a demand by intellectually acquiescing to the notion that discussion of men’s problems is an inherently controversial and offensive form of discourse.

Which ironically enough exactly proved the point to be made in the speech.

All campus males either listen respectfully to feminist speakers, even when they castigate men for the world’s problems, or choose not to listen. That is how freedom of speech should work.

Men are never told that their feelings matter, let alone that their feelings are the only thing that matters. So when men face something they don't like they . . .deal with it.

Women are told the opposite. Is it any surprise that some have elevated their feelings above all else, including the rights of others?

Ryerson president Sheldon Levy now has decided that the cost was a barrier to freedom of expression.

I suspect he'd have figured that out sooner if the target were a feminist group but whatever, this is great news!

So wait up, who specifically originally required this fee? Like what specific administrator/bureaucrat? It'd be interesting to find out.

What time does this start?

Fucking brilliant!

Good on you, Ryerson.
