Dalhousie University threatens to expel students over misogynistic comments
12-23-2014, 12:39 AM
This doesn't surprise me. I said this in the Jian Gomeshi thread (disgraced CBC personality who hit women and is now fighting charges in court), the media is doing a full court press on the "problems" of rape and sexual assaults on Canadian campuses. Canadian newspapers have been doing "investigative" pieces over the last month on how survivors are silenced, the culture of rape, and have blamed the universities/colleges for their lack of a sound policy to help young women. Ontario is already coming up with a code which the colleges have to follow. We are about 5 years behind the US and I have no doubt that in a couple of years many provinces here are going to have their own versions of "Yes means Yes" laws in addition to kangaroo courts.

This is really 1 step away from someone being kicked out of college for being an RVF member.

As a Dalhousie student (yes, I'm pulling the SJW and verifying my credentials) I've heard enough about this.
The president of Dalhousie offered a restorative justice solution. This was upon recommendation by the girls who were targeted by the FB group. They obviously are willing to forgive as long as the students take the restorative justice seriously. Of course, the feminists get their panties in a twist and create a hashtag called #dalhousiehateswomen.
The students under fire are idiots. Not for having masculine tendencies, but for displaying them on a FB group that could be easily found. One white knight is invited and the whole group gets ousted.
I've been home for the break and it blows my mind how much attention this is getting outside of Nova Scotia, as well as all of the things these schools get in shit for. The chloroform joke, which I've heard Jimmy Carr as well as countless other people make, is being twisted into a something far worse.
I don't mind the restorative justice punishment. Like I said, the students were dumb and it'll hopefully resolve things. But that's not enough to satisfy some. They want a head on a stick.

There's that "discussion" word again. Kicking kids out of school is not a discussion, it's telling them to shut the fuck up.

Count your lucky stars that we here in the US have the First Amendment.
SJW's already do everything in their power to destroy anyone who offends their sensibilities; can you imagine if they had the power to pass laws against "offensive" speech and throw people in jail for it? Hundreds of years from now there would be creepy dystopian novels about our society.

Like always, I'll try to identify the real problem. This is not a first amendment issue, since there is no government or criminal charges involved. This is not a due process issue, since universities don't need due process to expel you.
The problem is that, all it takes for you to be expelled is for you to look at a student in a microaggressive way and then some despicable PC board has the power to expel you. Is that the fault of the justice department, lawmakers, the said female student or yours for paying for college? No. The fault lies within the sovereignty of universities. They are considered a juridical person that is responsible to no one, that answers to no one, that is liable for nothing other than lawsuits.
In Turkey, we have an entity over all universities (public and private), a supreme educational agency. This institution was brought by the military junta in 1980's coup. Its job is to inspect and regulate all universities in Turkey. If such expelling happened in Turkey, you would simply appeal to this institution and the decision could be reversed.
My point is, universities hold too big of a responsibility for young people's lives to be left without inspection and intervention. The government is personally responsible to make sure that universities are not abusing their power and destroying students' lives like this. You need to have a supreme agency to appeal to for all disciplinary actions of the universities. Because lawsuits aren't gonna cut it. A lawsuit can not give you your life back. Courts can not protect you from the kangaroo courts of the universities. You stop Duke and another university with its kangaroo court will step in and ruin 10 more students' lives. Unless you address the real issue here, which is the unchecked power of universities, lives will be ruined and things will just keep getting worse.

Perfect. He tries to be the white knight and it completely backfires.
And now, he's the only one of those 13 students who is identified to the media. The feminists are still gonna hate him because misogyny, and the red pillers know that he is a humongous pussy.
Just look at him, you can almost smell the beta stench.

I would have loved to heard what was going on inside his head when he decided to let the fox into the henhouse and the outcome he saw playing out. I can't really picture any scenarios in which anyone is better off. What he's done is put a scarlet letter on the entire class of Dalhousie Dentistry '15. You have men that aren't smart enough to not commit this sort of stuff to the internet, and women who might make a federal case out of everything and may as well be a ticking sexual harassment suit timebomb. Sure not everyone is guilty, but most people can't be bothered with details beyond "Dal Dentistry '15 = bad" so they'll take the far easier position of not dealing with the lot.
And now, the further evidence that he still doesn't get it, is that he decided to go public saying "I'm one of the good ones!", upset that his "official record" wasn't expunged of this, meanwhile seemingly oblivious to the fact that now he is the only one publicly ousted (by himself no less) and that he's already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. People will simultaneously applaud his actions, while still not be willing to take their kids to see him. If I were anyone else there, I would take a year off, transfer to another school, do anything to distance myself from Dal Dentistry '15. But now he can't even do that. His name is forever out there tied to this. I can't help but laugh a little, because there is a real chance if the others aren't named, that he will be the one to suffer the greatest from this. On the other hand, the amount of real damage he's inflicted on people who run the gamut from 'completely innocent' to 'harmless but foolish loudmouth' is immeasurable.

Yeah as soon as I saw the headline about him, I was thinking "guaranteed this guy is gonna look like a complete tool" and of course his clothing confirms it.
And to think that's probably his "dressed up" outfit for appearing with his lawyers, even worse.

He deserves it. May this permanently damage your life's prospects. May you never escape from what you did.
