Duke Rape Case: The Feminist Klan Exposed
The deafening silence from Duke University in its failure to apologize to the Duke Lacrosse players, and its failure to change campus policy with respect to feminist harassment of men, has not gone unchallenged. The watershed event at Duke has ignited long-overdue scrutiny of cultish women’s studies programs that have impressed hatred and sexism towards men at our Universities.
Duke University cannot rebuild its crumbled foundations until apologies are made to the Lacrosse players, and changes are made to campus policy and curricula to ensure that radical feminist professors cannot control the campus by manipulating students to serve the next generation up on the platter of radical feminism.
One thing is clear: feminist campus activities at Duke in 2006 did not occur because of spontaneous student outrage. They were organized by professors in the Women’s Studies department in cohort with national feminist organizations such as the National Organization for Women and the American Association of University Women.
The “take back the night†rally at Duke was organized in the same style Castro orchestrates public events in Cuba. Students were spoon-fed agitprop and then sent out to put on a show for the media. What a carnivale of hate it was! Wanted posters with photographs of 40 members of the Lacrosse team were posted all over campus. Wild epithets were brandished about a “culture of rape†that exists on college campuses.[i] Students were told to come forward and tell “stories†about “rapesâ€. Walls of protesters emerged brandishing sexist signs.
Even the Duke Divinity School participated in the rampage,[ii] holding a revivalist service, and carrying the mindset forward into the divinity school’s “women’s weekâ€. Finally, we have found some religious nuts crazier than Muslim fundamentalists and probably just as dangerous. Perhaps we should send them on a field trip to Iraq, to teach their hate to Muqtada Al Sadr. They would come home with much wiser liturgical attitude towards American men.
Duke’s “Group of 88â€[iii] professors published a signed group statement cloaking anonymous feminist claims about violence in a valedictorian cap and gown.[iv] To this day they still disavow responsibility[v] for officiating and propelling a mob environment inexcusably hateful to men at Duke University. They pretend their involvement amounted to nothing more than “listening to studentsâ€. Their statement[vi] issued in response to demands for apologies is a shocking twisting of facts: “The disaster is the atmosphere that allows sexism, racism, and sexual violence to be so prevalent on campus†reflects directly on them.
There are 87 indignant humanities professors[vii] at Duke who are the disaster creating an atmosphere of racism and sexism on campus – one that imagines sexual violence in every dorm room. One English professor, one “Ms. Hollowayâ€, still pretends that “Something did happen on Buchanonâ€.[viii] Like Stephen A. Douglas, they have not realized their condonation of brute discrimination has been laid bare by Abe Lincoln for all to witness.
At Columbia University, feminists held a jaded speak-out rally powered by a most paradoxical ideology: “Tonight is a night of survival in the most active sense of the word. We shout to combat the silence that is forced upon us.†[ix] In a day where there is a rape and women’s violence hotline phone number literally everywhere we look, there is no evidence that violence against women is a silenced issue anywhere in America.
North Carolina Central, where liar, stripper and prostitute Crystal Mangum[x] was a “studentâ€, established a “student support fund†for Mangum. President James H. Ammons screeched “Our hearts go out to her, and we’ll do everything to support her … We throw our arms to our student with moral and financial support. There’s no place for racial discrimination or sexual violence. We stand firm in our stance.” [xi]
The American Association of University Women is a leading oracle of cult misandry in America. Their claims are widely published by media and cited around the world as reason for turning justice on its head.
For example, the AAUW claims that “42% of college women who are raped tell no one about the assaultâ€.[xii] Like the vast majority of feminist statistics, this baseless number springs magically from a litany of anecdotal “stories†collected by Robin Warshaw, titled “I Never Called It Rapeâ€. The book lays out a meaningless definition of rape nearly as expansive as Marilyn French’s infamous statement “All men are rapists and that’s all they areâ€.[xiii] One book review even points out that the book’s claims lack reasonable scientific foundation.[xiv]
The AAUW also claims that 25% of college women are raped during their college career,[xv] but only “5% of rape incidents are reported to policeâ€.[xvi] With feminist rallies several times per year, and a noisy radical women’s support center on every college campus, can anyone believe these outrageous lies?
Elsewhere, the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault held a “speak out†in April, 2006 for self-nominated “rape victims†to spit out rumor-mill imaginations of victimization and rape. Like reality-TV, this event encouraged extraordinary extremism to command attention. This organization claims that 22,000 women and 8,000 men are raped in New York City each year, despite the fact that only 1,700 rapes are reported to police each year.[xvii] The V-Day celebration in New York[xviii] was no less astonishing. We normally ignore nuts on soapboxes ranting the unimaginable to earn their ten minutes of loquacious fame. But when it is organized by the National Organization of Women, we take the insane seriously.
In June, 2006, the National Organization for Women pretended that doubts about Crystal Mangum’s story constituted putting the accuser on trial.[xix] N.O.W. has been mute about the Duke case ever since. But it still continues to liturgize about rape and violence against women as if Duke never happened.
There is no palpable credibility to these sordid diatribes against men. Certainly, rape does exist. The problem must be addressed accurately and forcefully, not with the atom bomb of radical feminism.
In balance, rape is far from pandemic. We know that 40% to 50% of rape allegations are clearly false.[xx] [xxi] The Innocence Project[xxii] has proven the effectiveness of feminist Klan ideologies and federal entitlements misused to lock up perfectly innocent people in spite of case facts.
In fact, we can say that the mass murder at Virginia Tech could have been avoided if police had not immediately concluded that the first victim’s boyfriend was the killer. The first double-murder suggests something more than a domestic disagreement. Seung-Hui Cho was a well-known campus nut. Police ignored what many students and a few professors first concluded: Cho was the murderer. Had police locked the campus down until Cho was found, thirty murders could have been prevented.
There is a deeply-ingrained culture of neo-paternalist hate on our college campuses that is deeply offensive to the reasonable mind. This inhumanism is not a reflection of credible research or qualitative analysis. It is the klannish cult of radical feminism,[xxiii] impressed on the educational system by off-campus NGO’s, largely financed by federal VAWA funds. These programs are indoctrinaire, not educational. It is time this practice is ended, and our campuses firewalled from it.
We know that federal laws such as the Violence Against Women Act, and family and criminal jurisprudence are abused dangerously. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D. demonstrates that our “open politicization of scholarship by domestic violence advocates with an ideological agenda is also simply accepted.â€[xxiv]
All change begins on our college campuses. The onus and responsibility for corrective action rests on the shoulders of Colleges and Universities. They are solely responsible for academic programs and the events sponsored or permitted on their campuses. Many colleges gladly allow feminist lynch mobs lacking only ropes and hoods to convict the majority of men of rape or violence, and to harass all men into thinking that all other men are abusers or rapists. The rancid transmogrification of diversity to cold hate is simply not acceptable.
College men must take the lead. There are many college women[xxv] who know how dangerous feminism is who will join you. If you do not want to live your adult lives being called an abuser, and end up divorced and one of those “deadbeat dads†you hear about all the time, you must do this. You must organize and hold feminists feet to the factual fire. It is my experience in the world of politics that feminists run when exposed, but only when you show you are not afraid of them.
I am willing to work with college men and women who have the wisdom to change the future before they get there, and teach them how to win. College is a bigger investment in your future than you ever imagined. Your degree will not be worth a nickel when feminists end up destroying half of all marriages, leaving women in poverty, and men criminalized if they cannot support two households.
The modern Women’s Ku Klux Klan has no business running our college campuses.[xxvi] The foundations of Duke University and many college campuses are in bigoted ruins. Apologies are not good enough to end the culture of misandry on college campuses. American universities cannot be resurrected until radical feminism is banned as an organized institution both in academia and as an entitled student institution.
Until that time, parents should wisely send their children to college in countries that actually teach real coursework, where sex is not taught as a war, and where marriage is considered normal. The University of Singapore or the University of Tokyo are two good choices. If you want your children to get ahead in the next generation, there are few choices left in America worth wasting your money on.

No one, NO ONE, in Academia or Government has the guts to fire these professors, shut down the hate / agitprop departments, prosecute the hate mongers. NO ONE.
It will continue until there is a revolt and the real victims, most men, some women, take matters into their own hands in an informal, spontaneous “Take back the Truth”.
It may well be bloody.
May 5th, 2007 at 6:04 am
amfortas: and probably will be. it is now, on occasion with so much more to come. i hope to live long enough to see the day men are treated equal to women in the media, tv, film industry, the courts, education, and the work place.
May 5th, 2007 at 6:29 am
we now know the KLU KLUX KLAN was very much a white woman worship cult..
We still see it very much so with my jursdictions local police force.
The precint here actually has white middle class women coming into their office on a regular basis telling them if their arresting more than 5% women in domestic assault cases that they must be doing something wrong..
These women reveiw the arrest files, because thats where there bread and butter comes from.
How did this happen that white middle class women are running the police force, like a mother directing her children??????
May 5th, 2007 at 7:43 am
This was an excellent article and I agree. It is really spooky how accepted the “mob and witch hunt” mentality is accepted. It’s like the hatred of men is so common it isn’t even noticed, not even by men.
Why would men want to attend colleges which have an anti male atmosphere. That is why the college enrollment rates for men is so low at colleges now. I remember attending this once school for a while that had emergency phones everywhere, rape pamphlets, sexual harassment posters, rape self defense class posters, etc all over the place.
It was so bad that even the girls would look at you “in fear,” like if you sat by one on a bench while going through your back pack for a calculator or something. Didn’t take me long to leave that school and attend a Christian University for a nicer environment – if nothing else. At least, there weren’t those posters etc all over the place.
I am glad these articles are written because it documents what has been and is going on for future history.
Also, there is a good program to save these web pages called Surfulater you can find it at http://www.surfulater.com/

Just wanted to add one more thing. Just wanted to write it down, man already know this.
When I grew up there were shows like Adam 12. Two white clean cute young police officers who were hero’s and helped people. There was also another show of two paramedics doing the same. Men were represented as honest hero’s, with character.
You use to “think” of “men” in a “general sense” and it equaled good.
Now you “think” of men and you remember bad. Like they are nothing but rapists, molesters, batters, etc.
How things have changed.
May 5th, 2007 at 8:44 am
Superb article David … I’ve always admired your talents.
Joi — Thanks for the link. And, I too am astonished at “how things have changed”. As Marc Rudov once said (oh look, Spectre is making a plug for Marc … imagine that
socially our society is going down the toilet, and it’s probably too late to salvage.

Taxpayer funded women’s studies programs have provisions for internships, wherein they train “interns” (students) to lobby in government, etc. College credits are given for some internships. Since when is a tax payer funded political party legal? No wonder so many horribly misandrist laws NOW plague America.

Thanks David, for all the work you did to put this article together. I hope that others use this article to encourage people to “act” and not just talk. Sometimes I worry that we are preaching to the choir. This hatred toward men being taught as part of almost every American campus, as males drop out, as father are pushed out, as the prisons expand, … do these feminist women not see the need for strong, well educated men and boys, to protect their rights and freedoms… and can’t men work up some anger that we have done so much, while these “bitches” (I could say worse) create hatred and fear of women toward men and teach boys that males have little value” … anger that is turned to action is the only way to put a stop to this.
May 5th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
david ..have you considered setting up educational tables periodically at certain universities to share youre message????
May 5th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
“The watershed event at Duke has ignited long-overdue scrutiny of cultish women’s studies programs that have impressed hatred and sexism towards men at our Universities.”
Oh? Where is this happening? Just what overdue scrutiny is going on? I see no evidence of any scrutiny by official means, and let’s face it, sod all is going to change by civil means until officialdom gets off its arse.
It will be uncivil means that change things. The scrutiny of bloggers is good and necessary, but insufficient. It is going to take a Clint Eastwood character with an unsmiling face, a well stocked belt and a ruthless cleaning out of the wicked. He could make a start with the 88 professors.

“Why would men want to attend colleges which have an anti male atmosphere.”
This is precisely the objective of these feminist fear campaigns running within the education system: the objective is to remove men from University. Simple as that. Thereby preventing them from the social power and security that is gained from being the educated minority.
It is a deadly mechanism that is preventing or discouraging men from attending University. Joi said that he went to a different, less feminist-infiltrated University, which probably means a less mainstream one BECAUSE of the anti-male atmosphere on campus. Not every man will have the option of an alternative.
It’s funny that this is the end-result of “equality between the sexes” and “integrating the sexes”. What happens? You end up segregating them again!
Great article David. I agree that men need to have marches also; they need to set up “men’s groups/organisations”, even in a clandestine manner, and it would be useful for established MRAs to help out. The radicalisation of centres of learning must be abated.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:18 am
IMHO a voluntary form of segregation would not be a bad idea.
Back in the early 60’s the UK government set up a batch of C.A.T.’s – Colleges of Advanced Technology. These later became universities and were then diluted by being obliged to offer less rigorous courses.
The basic premise, that a progressive society needs scientists, engineers and technicians rather than clever chaps that could make jokes in Latin, was sound. It could be revived.
There would be no reason to exclude women per se. Indeed, women that have a genuine motivation to pursue learning in those fields would be more than welcome.
There would be no reason to exclude the arts either, they would just be extra-curricular.
Competition between technological institutions and the old universities would be judged merely on the quality of their graduates.
Employers that recruit new graduates may be impressed initially by the name of an ‘old’ university but when push comes to shove they’re more interested in who can do the job. Come on! What’s a degree in “Women’s Studies” really worth?
But back to Duke…….
After the debacle, how many graduates will want to say proudly on their resume, “I graduated from Duke” – (implication: I’m a narrow-minded, gullible idiot that sucked up what my professors taught me and I’m just as bigoted as they are).
Tricky question?
They’re more likely to say, “Even though I attended Duke, I still managed to learn something. Please give me a chance to prove it to you.”
May 6th, 2007 at 10:34 am
david…setting up information tables at universities to share youre message may be very effective…
maybe if no-one has the time or the intestinal fortitude to man the information outpost…maybe we could hire a student to man it for a day…i would most certainly pitch in on the cost…
youve got a message that need to be heard…

Airline Policy: Ban on men sitting next to children
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10357510
Perhaps Glenn Sacks or someone can do an article on this discrimination which makes ALL men so evil they can’t be trusted to even sit by children.
May 6th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
“Example of demonization of men….
Airline Policy: Ban on men sitting next to children”
Should also have a policy banning women school teachers from sitting next to them as well.

(Some delusional rad-fem) — “We shout to combat the silence that is forced upon us.â€
Thanks David, for your diligent and tenacious research.
Truly it is time for all men to re-read 1984 and Animal Farm. (or, maybe have a first read?)
Essential primers on fascism.
We have our differences, you and I — indeed; however, your scholarship is invaluable for MRAs at this time.
Anyone who has not attempted a career in feminist academia has no idea what a turgid, anal-retentive, repressed culture it is.
Only in the (male-dominated) hard sciences is there anything left of true inquiry.
The rest is feminist detritus….. and propaganda….
David — do you agree?
