The High Cost Of Living In A Police State

by John W. Whitehead.     Who pays the price for the police shootings that leave unarmed citizens dead or injured, for the SWAT team raids that leave doors splintered, homes trashed, pets murdered, and family members traumatized and injured, if not dead? I’m not just talking about the price that must be paid in hard-earned dollars, whether    ... MORE

Jonah Goldberg: Liberals Storm California's Bedrooms

Relentless culture warriors.       I have a slightly different take on California’s recent decision to regulate college sex. Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s beyond idiotic, unworkable, even borderline Orwellian. We’ll get to all that. But I also think it’s incredibly useful. You see, for years I’ve been railing and ranting about the ridiculous myth that liberalism ... MORE

by John W. Whitehead.       Eighteen-year-old Hannah Graham is not the first girl to vanish in America without a trace—my hometown of Charlottesville, Va., has had five women go missing over the span of five years—and it is doubtful she will be the last.

Allen Smith: Rhode Island Proves Legalizing Prostitution Will Decrease Rape And Sexually-Transmitted Diseases

It happened by accident.       For a brief period of history, Rhode Island was the only state where prostitution was legal in every county.

Thomas Sowell: Kangaroo Courts On Campus

Does political correctness trump justice?     There seems to be a full-court press on to get colleges to "do something" about rape on campus. But there seems to be remarkably little attention paid to two crucial facts: (1) rape is a crime and (2) colleges are not qualified to be law-enforcement institutions. Why are rapists not reported to   ... MORE

One In Five Women Is Sexually Assaulted In College?

by Samantha Harris.       The White House's questionable data. In January, the White House announced the creation of a White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. On April 29, that task force came out with its first report, Not Alone, which is intended to “help schools live up to their obligation to protect students from    ... MORE

Shawn Mitchell: On Disarming American Women

Whistle while your raped.       Freshman lawmaker Joe Salazar, (D. Thornton) became an embarrassing distraction for the liberal juggernaut in Colorado last week when he blurted out what he really thinks of the Second Amendment, the right of self defense, and the faculties of women in peril.  Hint: His views are appalling.

Michelle Malkin: Disarming American Women

The Left: Fight rapists with pens, urine, vomit, tears.    If radical gun-grabbers have their way, your daughters, mothers, and grandmothers will have nothing but whistles, pens, and bodily fluids with which to defend themselves against violent attackers and sexual predators. Women of all ages, races, and political backgrounds should be up in arms over  ... MORE

Tibor Machan: On Rape And Pragmatism

Principles in the age of the pragmatist.   Something not often noted in the discussion of rape across the globe is that in an age that prizes pragmatism as opposed to firm principles of conduct, even rape can be excused based on the expected benefit to the rapist versus injury to the victim. If one doesn't care about the basic principle of consent,  ...

So why an epidemic of unnecessary arrests?  “You never have a ‘right’ to resist arrest,” insists Des Moines-based attorney Harley Erbe (who is wrong, of course). There are two reasons why Mundanes must immediately submit to “commands” issued by the state’s costumed enforcers, Erbe explains: “First, officers’ safety is a paramount    ... MORE
