Summary: Universities are scared shitless of being sued for allegations of rape that happen on campus. Large corporations see an opportunity to charge schools lots of money in order to cover their ass. This is institutionalizing the feminist pet project of rape hysteria and male demonization on college campuses.
I saw a story about this on NPR this morning. Keep in mind NPR is a left leaning outlet. So if they're reporting on this things must be bad!
Here are some choice tidbits:
It was once a tiny niche market, but it is now an exploding industry with everything from fingernail polish that detects date-rape drugs in drinks to necklaces that hide mini panic buttons — and all kinds of crash courses on how to get and give consent.
"Every other day there's a new group sprouting up offering slick advertisements and products," says Sharyn Potter, a researcher at the University of New Hampshire. Schools don't want to risk stiff penalties, and "corporations know that these administrators are panicking ... and shopping," she says.
From the sound of it you would think college campuses were a scene from Dante's Inferno. Where mass rapes took place on the quad daily, and female student's were only given enough time to clean themselves off before mom & dad show up for parents day.
The truth is that the number of rapes reported on campus is much lower then in the general population. Schools don't care if they waste students' money on this shit. As long as they cover their ass. If their male students have to take tens of thousands of dollars in student loans out to cover the cost then it's no skin off administrations nose.
Caroline Leyva, lead training and curriculum development specialist at UNH's Prevention Innovations Research Center, demonstrates a series of exercises meant to increase empathy for survivors, educate students about consent and encourage bystander intervention.
Allow me to translate:
"increase empathy for survivors" = Always believe the accuser regardless of the lack of evidence they can put forth.
"educate students about consent" = Demonize men and especially male sexuality. Radically change the definition of consent, and remove any responsibility the woman may have. Had sex after both of you were drinking? Dirty rapist! Never mind that you were drunk too. Did she rip your pants off and start riding you? Dirty rapist! She never explicitly said "YES!" so she never consented.
"encourage bystander intervention" - Give lessons on how to cock block. Encourage female friends and beta's to cock bock people about to have legal consensual sex. This one shouldn't be to difficult, it happens all of the time without any training.
The day culminates with Leyva drilling the group members on what they would do in a series of hypotheticals. For example, she says: Imagine you're at a party and you see a girl who's drunk being taken home by a guy who has told you he wants to hook up with her. Help students be creative," she says. Rather than a direct confrontation, a student could walk over to the couple and ask if they want to go for pizza. Or maybe, she says, a student could just back up to a light switch and accidentally on purpose flip it on.
Right. Blatantly cock bock guys who are about to have consensual sex with a girl they've been talking to all night. They totally won't cave your face in! I wonder if the school has taken into account all the lawsuits they'll get from beta's that rightfully catch a vicious beating after they try and cock block Chad.
Bringing in the Bystander, which costs $1,600 plus $350 for training, can be run as one 90-minute session or as several sessions over the course of a week. Many other products on the market aim to do the trick in a lot less time.
So these con-artists are charging $1,950 per person for a 90 minute session? Assuming a 30 person class that's $58,500 for 90 minutes worth of work! I guess bullshit jobs pay well if you can get them!
Research suggests the most promising approach may actually be one that virtually no one is doing: teaching women ways to avoid assault. Most schools are loath to go there, fearing they'd be seen as victim-blaming. But Senn says her method of training women to recognize risk and resist assault was proven to reduce rape by 50 percent.
So there is actually very effective common sense training that greatly reduces the incidence of rape. It works by teaching women to take responsibility for their own safety. But we can't implement those sort of programs because... feelz!!
Lessons: Watch your ass out there! The level of misandry and rape hysteria is going to be at record levels this year even for college standards, and that's saying something! I'm in the process of researching different security cameras so I'll be able to present video evidence that my sexual encounters are consensual. Once I have a system in place I'll post the results on TRP.
