Young Women Ruining Young Men Because They Can
Imagine going thru the challenges in life this guy has: His name is Marcus Knight, and he's a student with both autism and cerebral palsy who didn't let that stop him from going to college.
You want to high-five him right there. Or maybe even fist-bump him.
But fist-bumping is part of what got him in trouble -- ruining the life he has worked to have and all that his mom surely put in to help him.
As Toni Airaksinen writes at PJ Media:
Knight, 19, first came to national attention in 2018 when his attempts to make friends landed him in the Title IX office. According to the lawsuit, Knight asked one female student for a "fist bump." Soon after, Knight asked to take a selfie with another student.The "fist bump" was reported to the Title IX office. And the selfie? When Marcus took it, he accidentally pressed "burst" mode a few times due to his cerebral palsy. The result? Knight had quite a few selfies with the woman, but she later alleged that Knight took "over 300" photos of her.
Knight's mother spoke with PJ Media on Tuesday, explaining that "fist bumps" and selfies are ways that Knight develops a sense of belonging at college. "My son just wants to have friends like everyone else ... why is that wrong?"
As usual, when the case was "heard" in the college kangaroo court, due process was not a part of the process. To name just one example, as Toni writes:
Title IX Officer Juan Avalos "relied upon evidence never before provided to [Marcus Knight]."How could Marcus Knight -- then an 18-year-old freshman -- dispute "evidence" he wasn't even made aware of?
And she notes that his autism likewise could have been a disadvantage in the proceedings, as people on the spectrum often don't read other people well or know how their behavior will be received.
Here we have Title IX being used by women to victimize men.
And I see it again and again in the emails I too often get from young men on campus as well as professors: It's the low-hanging fruit they go after, the men who are the antithesis of alpha...those who have the hardest time defending themselves, or really, just knowing what hit them.
Again, imagine going thru the challenges in life this guy has, and surely being so proud and happy to go to college and excited to make friends.
What kind of monster reports this guy for sexual misconduct for a fist bump or hitting the wrong button for selfies?
Why are we to assume that there's any sort of intent in taking 300 pictures, or 700 pictures, or whatever?
Here's Marcus Knight fist-bumping with some high-school friends. He looks happy. That's been taken away from him.








You know something is wrong in college when Marcus Knight is more emotionally stable --and mature than the apparently fully functional womanchild who went crying to the Title IX Officer.

What type of individual is so miserable with her life that she needs to lash out at others like this?
Jay at May 24, 2019 7:00 AM
A feminist who has been fed feminist lies her entire life is that miserable. Instead of questioning her sources of information, she seeks out a whipping boy to whip.
Because of oppression, yo!
He needs to submit an ADA complaint against, well, everyone involved. Also make sure they know that you know identify as a trans-female.

Being autistic, he could not know the rules of flirting:
1) Be good looking, rich
2) Don't be ugly (or apparently autistic)
Ladies, how about a little compassion?

One of my kids graduated from a Seven Sisters school last year. After talking to her, Marcus Knight's agony should be shocking, but it's not really. She gave me a couple of examples of students being hounded out of school:
- Student says on a message board that it would be nice in the winter if tunnels connected the campus buildings. Someone reminded her that in the distant past, tunnels were provided for the servants to pass from building to building unseen. First student, who only wanted to stay warm and dry, was now piled on as some kind of classist wretch, and bullied until she left school.
- Another student had the nerve to attend a Trump rally, with the same result as the student above.
People engage in mob cruelty when there's no consequence for doing it. That there's no consequence is an indicator of only one thing: That these people are privileged little whelps, whether they're beating up on young women with "wrong" opinions, or destroying awkward young men.

That girls are acting like assholes should be no surprise. Lots of people of both genders are assholes. The issue is the schools not only let them get away with it they also enable and encourage it. As Old RPM said, this is mob mentality. Societies that encourage or embrace it don't live long.

Where are all the good men going?
Not all women are feminist. Not all snakes are poisonous. But still, better safe than sorry, right?

I'm getting sick of this. I have been hopelessly single -- not really alpha and perhaps a tad on the spectrum, although I don't know that for sure -- since frickin' 1986. Usually, the way some women look at me, I don't even bother trying sometimes.
But, fortunately, I've only had two harassment complaints lodged against me, and only one sexual. I nearly lost my job with the regular ol' harassment-harassment complaining, which I suspect was phony just to stop me from chatting with her.
And you know what's really ironic. With these women acting up the way they do nowadays, I may be one of the luckiest men alive. These frickin' mass-murderer-wannabe incels on the internet should be thanking their lucky stars likewise.
F*** THESE B****ES!!! (No, not you, Amy, since you're one of the kindest, most compassionate people I know. Likewise, I exempt the other ladies on this forum, since they seem to have little or no problem with me. And exempting various other ladies in my life and female relatives as well.)
mpetrie98 at May 24, 2019 11:36 AM
And yes, as someone else implied above, there are a lot of B*ST*RDS out there, too. We're all falling down on the damned job.
mpetrie98 at May 24, 2019 11:44 AM
For all the equal opportunity implying I did I also consider ~70% of US women unmarriable Mpetrie. Too many of them have been raised like mushrooms. Fed bullshit and kept in the dark. I've seen women in their 30s and 40s talk about waiting to have kids. Well, if you waited that long you aren't having kids. Most of the women I know didn't learn how to cook until they hit their 30s. And it's all crazy vegan or some other dumb fad food thing no sane person wants to eat. They were too scared of being locked up naked and barefoot in the kitchen. Personally I like to eat good healthy food, so I learned how to cook. I've also failed to find a stove with ankle cuffs or some other restraint mechanism. Maybe I need to find a good BDSM appliances place. Either way these women were raised being told how much they were being discriminated against while at the same time being some of the least oppressed. So the moment any difficulty pops up they scream sexism and will dump you as fast as they can. Not the stuff lasting relationships are built on.

The elites don't want white men and women having babies. One way they ensure this happens is by promoting bitter women to positions of influence in academia and the media. They could have empowered bitter men who hate women but they correctly calculated that empowering bitter women would give them more bang for their buck.
I say white becasue I notice that feminists don't have a problem with Muslims treating their women like chattle and making them walk around with garbage bags on.
Also mpetrie98 I am a little curious. You say you have not had a relationship since 1986. Have you tried PUA or improving your appearance or online dating? How old are you now? I'm just a little curious. Also if you don't mind can you elaborate more on the harassment complaints? How do women, and men respond to you on a daily basis?

Regardless of how much anyone wants to believe SNL got it exactly right (as if most women really want to have their breasts groped by handsome men they don't know), I wish people would focus on the real problem: Dating at work is usually a Bad Idea - even when you're a woman who wants a date with ANY man.
From Miss Manners (I thought I'd posted this before, but I can't find the old threads):
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1991/12/15/office-impolicies/ea35ec3a-aa69-4075-ab13-255505a4bfea/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.9434c7fda886
Excerpts:
...What is welcome sexual attention in the workplace?
Welcome to whom? Even if the two people involved are as happy as can be, with themselves and each other, and the beauty of love -- is sexual attention in the workplace welcome to the client who is waiting to get business done? To co-workers who may have to cover for preoccupied lovers, and who are given grounds to suspect that personal feelings could influence promotions and raises?
To the employer who is paying two people for the time during which the sexual attention is being welcome?
It is Miss Manners's contention that professional behavior should be strictly -- well, professional. This does not include any remarks or behavior that call attention to gender, however charming such overtures might be in the social arena.
But it goes further than that. It also means ending the phony use of the forms of friendship and leisure in the workplace, and not requiring pseudo-socializing after hours as part of any job. The proper office demeanor is cordial, cheerful and helpful, but somewhat distant and impersonal.
It has, of course, been argued that Miss Manners's system would end the human race, as the workplace is now the chief venue people have to meet prospective mates.
But actually she is not all that mean. Of course people who are thrown together with common interests may get fond of one another and develop real friendships, romances and marriages. Miss Manners is only mandating that they develop away from the workplace...

Or to put it another way: If there are penalties for dating at a particular workplace, they need to be applied to the handsome men as well. By the bosses, of course.
Btw, in the notorious 1906 Chester Gillette case (he was convicted of murder and sent to the chair), there was, in fact, a rule against employees dating each other, which he broke - and back then, there were clearly very serious reasons to prohibit such dating. Especially when the two parties were not on the same level (he was her supervisor, IIRC). So had the rule been enforced, the tragedy might never have happened.

One major problem is false accusation.
Another problem, at least as major, is harassment inflation.
Since the early '90s in the US, schools and employers (with a few exceptions) have been paranoid about the possibility of being sued and dragged through the mud* for permitting sexual harassment. Whereas until very recently there has been no pushback at all for either [a] railroading the innocent or [b] serving as glorified enforcers for vindictive or just plain nasty women.
[*] Now on social media. And for schools, since 2011 the additional fun of Title IX investigations from Washington and the possibility of funding cutoff.
Hence, college and business decision-makers have actually said things to me like "If she says it's harassment, it's harassment" and "Harassment is whatever the other person perceives is harassing."
And with some people it's ideological. People with no reason to fear being sued or investigated try to shout us down with crap like "Who are you to dismiss her lived experience?" and "Check your male privilege!"
Funny how the people who claim to most abhor racism, nativism and sexism -- emotive movements if ever there were any -- rush to glorify women's emotions, at least when targeted at men.
As a society we need to get back to things like objective principles, truth, logic, evidence and facts before it's too late. Emotions have their place, and emotions need to be kept in their place.

It sure is, if a fist bump can now be seriously called harassment.
Rex Little at May 26, 2019 6:25 PM
This is opportunism at its very worst. Horrific and extremely disturbing. Cockroaches have more ethics. Oops, I blundered into a possible harassment charge. Cock-roaches. Thanks to the alignment of the stars I didn't say that in a college class.
Thank you for putting this out there, Amy.
