Here's a scenario: some scummy high school boy pulls down your 13-year-old daughter's sweatpants in front of other students at a middle school in New Jersey. The combination of harassment and assault is reported to the school. What happens? The school superintendent asks you, the mother, what kind of underwear your daughter wears in order to determine what was revealed, as though the punishment should fit the size of her drawers instead of the crime itself.

"Surviving Shark Attacks on Land."
It has to do with betrayal and revenge. 18 year old Tyler Clementi didn't survive his recent shark attack on land. He killed himself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge in New York. He posted a goodbye on his Facebook page just eight minutes before he ended his life.

In 2005, Lawrence H. Summers resigned as president of Harvard University. That announcement came a week before a "no confidence" vote by the Harvard faculty was expected. Why? The answer is simple: activist groups in general, and feminist groups in particular, don't accept facts when they oppose their agenda.
Dr. Summers discussed human gender differences in an academic conference. He suggested that innate gender differences between the sexes might explain the few women in science and math. The response to his factually based comment was akin to the apocalypse!
