Well deserved...

The kids she spoke with easily saw that “sexual violence is violence” and understood victim-blaming was wrong, University of Colorado Denver criminologist Callie Marie Rennison told Moneyish; they struggled to comprehend why survivors wouldn’t be believed. “I’ll tell you what: If you ever need to feel inspired and uplifted, go talk to some eighth graders,” she said. “If this is what the future looks like, things are going to be a lot better.”

I hope so. America of today is a strange land...

From the story:

Nursing sadness the day after the 2016 election, Rennison signed up with Emerge Colorado, a training program aimed at upping the number of Democrat women in public office. “I did the training, and I’m ready when the time comes. I’m not just telling people run for office and win — I intend to do the same,” she said. “Nothing is going to change until we do it.”

Damn! I'd vote for her at whatever level she was running, but "Senator Crimpie" has a pretty fine ring to it.

Well done Callie!

Of course her own gender bias in presenting males as the definition of rape is totally ok...

This is nothing more than leftwing activism taking over what once were centers of learning.

Now they are centers of indoctrination

and since this will upset- I suggest directing your gloatrage at all men rather than me- as the "professor" would approve of...

Calli good job
Wilmot are you always like this? Get a life man. I take it with your statement you know her? I could state my thoughts about you based off what You've written, but why waste my time.
Peace

Not going with leftwing ideology = a need to get a life

Got it

This kind of anti male shaming where one individuals actions are used as a means to collectively place blame on all males is just another example of small minded thinking which inevitably only leads to more bias (i.e. "Get a life"etc..)

i don't expect any of you to see things as I do. Clearly my reality is drastically differently than yours

Enjoy the herd.

Yes, and until YOU yourself are a victim of rape, sexual abuse, or physical abuse by a larger, stronger male, and join the MAJORITY of these victims who, surprise-surprise, are women, your reality isn't reality. It's bullsh#t.

L, Locker, thank you for saying as much as I was thinking, but have to watch what I say over public waves. Callie as I know and Dave are great people with a fair amount of intelligents. The issue at hand can not in any form be tolerated and to defend it in any fashion is highly questionable. Would love to be belaying Wilmot on a lead fall, just to question how the "right" felt about secure belays.
Peace

So I need to be raped to understand rape, and since I don't ascribe to this politically driven form of far left politics I don't deserve a capital in my last name..,

That says a lot more about your ethics than mine.

You people really need to take the blinders off your high horses

Big congrats to Callie for her deserved fame. I've had the joy of meeting her & sharing a drink & conversation, on two occasions. It is very nice to enjoy knowing such a pleasant & friendly legend.

I don't take right or left, you probably do need to be subjected to what ever you criticize because truly you really don't have a clue until you've been through whatever is critcized. Capital letter or not you are in your own world.

Telling someone they should be subjected to rape because they don't agree with you is quite absurd...

It's a double edged sword...There are people that exploit the sexual assault violations for personal gain and people with legit claims that get ignored because of the frauds...? Who you gonna believe...?

could you quote me the lines where this happened? i read the article and thought it was pretty good at both using non-gendered language throughout and also not blaming one gender nor the other. but maybe i missed something.

closest i saw it coming to your claim was the statement: "Men, of course, should be part of the solution."

i didn't take that to be a blaming statement. rather it was just seeming to say that when around one out of six american females [and one out of about thirty-three american males] will be raped or attempted to be raped in their lifetime that e'erybody, whether male or female, has a role to play in working towards reducing these shItty numbers.

or at least that is how i read it.



also, while you present the important to consider issue of defining rape as a solely male problem, as a leftist one, i'd argue it's just a straight up cultural problem that is not just limited to the left.

while you may already know, for others who don't, it was only on jan. 1, 2013 that the FBI changed their definition of rape from " “The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.” to the non-gendered: "“Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

ie. as Locker points out, rape does happen both towards males and due to female perpetrators and likely in numbers that would be surprising to many [or at least they were to me], even at the same time that they are relatively small as compared to the number of male perpetrators...



and so your seeming desire to in part make sure that this awareness is spread is an admirable one.

i just don't get why you think the partisan sniping is necessary or truthful, as this "oversight" has from my perspective not known political bounds...



and edit to add: and more importantly congrats to crimper... always enjoyed her posts...
