Many things to say, but I'll keep it to a few bullet points:
1. This invented hysteria over "rape" has got to stop. They make it sound like women are being raped every second on their campus. The only countries where this might even be remotely an issue is where they should concentrate their alarmist energies. The only way to justify their fiction is to call all sex rape (which some feminists do), which we all know is basically mental illness.
2. Speaking of mental illness, many of these protests--this one included--are just collections of mentally ill, delusional people who need help. They're living in an alternate reality and are trying to impose their hallucinations on the world. It is very dangerous.
3. Note the haircuts and piercings on the girls who were protesting.
4. I don't have the foggiest idea who the guy they were protesting is, but my sense is that he's not a "rape apologist." In fact, the little I know from just looking him up, makes it clear that he should have massive credibility given his credentials in the feminist movements. This is probably what scares these people so much. He's coming from a place of credibility.

He came to prominence in the 1970s as one of the most vocal men championing the cause of second wave feminism, and serving in the New York City leadership of the National Organization of Women (NOW). However, when NOW took policy positions that Farrell regarded as anti-male and anti-father, the emphasis of his career and scholarship shifted drastically and he is now recognized as one of the most important figures in the modern men's movement.
5. To chant "men's rights is hate speech," just further discredits this group. That, and what Grit points out below, just shows that this brand of feminism (what I'd term Tumblr Feminism) is slowly hanging itself with its own rope.
