As you read the story linked below, watch for the following quote by the Vice Admiral who felt pressured to sacrifice an able and worthy midshipman to the forces of gender political correctness: "If I did not take him to a [general court martial], we would have had every feminist organization and the ACLU after us." That one chilling, and, yes, disgusting, quote ably sums up a principal reason that the rights and liberties of innocent men and boys are tossed onto a scrapheap of indifference when it comes to rape allegations. The Navy has made a 23-year-old African-American midshipman its poster child for men who rape after he was subjected to a bogus rape charge by a white woman "whose violations of Navy rules were worse than his." She was granted immunity, of course; his promising career faces ruin. Another innocent man sacrificed as necessary collateral damage in the "more important" war on rape. When will the feminists, the Navy, and everyone else, realize that cases like this only hurt the cause of raising awareness about rape? Cases like this engender outrage and the unmistakable feeling that if this is the best "rape" case the Navy can find, then it really must not have a rape problem. Cases like this suggest that the sexual grievance industry is less intent on fighting rape than it is in exacting gender payback against men in general, and that it will use any male -- guilty or innocent -- to make its point.

The big question is ...Is the ACLU now dominated by gender feminist perverts, who have usurped power by the strategic use of "Rape hysteria".
Now that they have the "hysteria power" over society..what are they gonna do with us??
One more man sacrificed on the Alter of Feminism and Political Correctness.
It makes me want to hide from women. Forever.
Women who make false rape accusations should be expelled.
Feminists = racist lynch mobs.
Is any further evidence of this needed? I think not. It's the KKK all over again. Even the same rationale.
And they (the femnuts) wonder why they are (1) not taken seriously; (2) viewed with utter and scathing disdain, and (3) why men will not stop to help women anymore but instead cross to the other side of the road and stay as far away as possible.
Has the ACLU actually ever participated in rape cases against males?
The ACLU has gone to bat for registered sex offender's rights in the past.
Everyone HATES the ACLU until the day comes THEY need them as the one last resort willing to do such dirty work.
Seriously - where is a comment like that really coming from?
Off-Topic

"Observation No. 1: For many teachers and principals, the possibility of being sued or being accused of physical or sexual abuse of a student is ever-present in their minds. Many say they completely avoid touching students or being alone with them to avoid this hazard"
I haven't seen the ACLU participate in a rape case against males. I think they're hypocritical for not joining us on the fight to make the DV laws gender-neutral, but the ACLU does fight for stronger due process in criminal law, and they also have defended men's rights in other areas. For example:
The ACLU went against a feminist group and stopped courts from issuing restraining orders against men without hearings, arguing that people can be falsely accused and then denied access to their kids.

The ACLU helped stop courts from jailing men without hearing for child support arrears. http://www.pottsmerc.com/articles/2009/08/22/news/srv0000006146117.txt
The ACLU helped stop police from seizing men's cars for soliciting prostitutes. http://www.aclunc.org/cases/closed_cases/asset_upload_file522_3657.pdf

It can take six months or longer in South Texas to get DNA results back from the crime lab. That's a long time -- expecially if someone is innocent and sitting in jail.

The ACLU has done a lot of good things, and I hope the vile influence of feminists isn't enough to poison that well. As for this case, it is sickening in its blatant anti-male sexism and hypocrisy, and I think it raises grave questions about the role of women in the military.
This isn't political correctness - it's old-fashioned lynch a black guy on the word of a white woman.
At least the lynchings are no longer done with a rope. That seems to be the only progress made in 100 years.
White men in charge need to grow a spine. If they're afraid of feminists, what good are they on a battle-field?
All men need to grow a spine, and to stop allowing us to be divided along racial lines.
This is off-topic -- but has anybody here ever realized that the song 'Stairway To Heaven' is about female selfishness leading to ruin? The whole song could be a men's rights anthem.
"There's a sign on the wall... but she wants to be sure... cause you know sometimes words have two meanings..."
Yeah, words like "equality" sure as hell have two meanings when they're coming out of the mouth of a lying, man-hating feminist!
This is a very common example of an organization going overboard (pardon the Naval pun) to correct what they have been told are politically incorrect excsesses.
Insitutions like the Navy and our colleges are overrun with "experts" from the sexual grievance industry who are akin to Professor Harold Hill in "The Music Man." You remember the plot: River City got its first pool table, and Prof. Hill used it to foment hysteria about "trouble in River City."
A few rape claims are the modern day equivalent of a pool table, and some slick "experts," coupled with political pressure groups, have the Admirals that there's trouble in the briny deep.
It's easier for institutions like the Navy or any number of colleges to just give in and adopt a hard line than to worry about a few innocent men. Instead of appointing an objective committee to actually get at the truth, these organizations appoint a committee of persons concerned about rape. You see that problem? The persons concerned about rape have a preconceived notion that rape is rampant, and they insure that the policy adopted by the institutions matches their ideology. Rape to them is a symbol of female oppression in general, and they will use rape hysteria to "right" what they perceive to be longstanding wrongs.
I use the "collateral damage" imagery a lot, but it really is apt. It's easier to give into the pains-in-the-neck than to worry about some innocents who get caught in the crossfire.
Aside from spreading the word that too many young women lie about rape, I think that young men truly need to know that we live in dangerous times, and that they can't engage in sexual activities with the same freedom their fathers did.
Marc A.: I agree. The ACLU would be far more likely to ally itself with those opposed to Mike Nifong than it would to ally itself with a rape accuser, just because she's a woman.
I've always held that political movements take on many of the characteristics of those they perceive to be their enemies or opponents and will, if they supplant those enemies, adopt the same corruptions.
If I did not take him to a [general court martial], we would have had every feminist organization and the ACLU after us.
Feminism and patriarchy - birds of a feather.
Except that patriarchy, you know... works.
I'm calling attention specifically to the fact the ACLU is being thrown under the bus here undeservedly.
WHY?
Is it because they are actually effective?
If they don't do 'more' for men's rights is it because they are not being approached or utilized?
Deal is, folks - you gotta ASK for the help.
Like the resentment toward breast cancer campaigns - people organized and put that together themselves. We have no one to blame but ourselves for not doing the same.
Has ANYONE here approached the ACLU and been turned down by "gender feminist perverts'?
I'll take a safe bet not.
Maybe it's time to make aquaintance of the ACLU before dismissing them.
Anon, if you are a reader of this site, you will see that we do not equate the ACLU with our enemies.
Prof. Alan Dershowitz is one of our patron saints. It was the Vice Admiral who made that comment. I disagreed with it so much that I refused to put it in the headline of my post. I think it's common for people to equate the ACLU and feminism as far left vehicles, but there's a huge difference.
Archivist -
I presumed that since the first post went unchallenged.
