CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick takes it as a compliment when told he’s made yet another infuriating documentary, this time an expose on campus rape called The Hunting Ground. The film opens Friday at Scotiabank Theatre Halifax (Cineplex in Bayers Lake).
But he says it’s also disheartening to discover yet another instance of widespread assault that is not only being ignored, but actively concealed by the very people charged with ensuring safety.
“Every time you hear a story like that you become more determined to get the word out and hopefully things will change," says Dick, whose Oscar-nominated film The Invisible War uncovered a litany of brutal assaults and coverups in the military.
“There’s something about society that doesn’t want to believe that men will do this. And in fact, most men won’t, but it’s a small minority of men who assault again and again and that is the problem."
The Hunting Ground documents in stark terms an epidemic of attacks taking place on U.S. college and university campuses, with dozens of young women recounting horrific encounters with fellow students that in most cases go unpunished.
Those who come forward report being dismissed by campus police and university administrators, who question what they did to bring on the attack and seem more interested in quelling complaints to protect the school’s reputation and endowments.
In the rare case that punishment is meted out, it’s often paltry. Examples of university discipline include a warning, an essay assignment and “expulsion after graduation."
Survivors brave enough to speak out also put themselves at risk of retaliation from their attacker and his network of friends, who are nearly impossible to avoid in class or on campus.
As a result, assailants re-offend and the nightmare continues for another young woman.
“This isn’t just one institution, pretty much this is a problem in one way or another in every institution," says writer/director Dick, who teamed up again with The Invisible War producer Amy Ziering .
“One of the things that happens after screenings every single time is people come up and say: ‘Look, I was a dean, I was in the administration, I was a faculty member, I knew this was a problem and I couldn’t get anybody to pay attention to it.’ ’’ Dick says the culture of fear on campus was even more pronounced than what he found in the military.
“That shocked me. I think of universities and colleges as a free-speech zone — if any institution would be talking about women’s rights and sexual assault it would be colleges and universities. And they do, about (cases) outside their institution. But if people stood up and talked about what was going on in the institution there was reprisal after reprisal."
Statistics presented in the film are staggering: As many as one in five college women will be sexually assaulted. Serial predators commit 91 per cent of all campus assaults. Fraternity men are three times more likely to rape than other college men. If nothing changes, more than 100,000 college students will likely be sexually assaulted in the next school year.
“It’s really important that if you have a child thinking about going to school, or in college, that you see this film," says Dick, who has also heard complaints about campus life at Canadian institutions.
The film includes interviews with campus police, psychologists and faculty members.
But it’s the personal accounts of survivors and their families that drive the issue home. They include interviews with a man whose daughter committed suicide after being raped, a biology student so traumatized she could barely leave her room, and a freshman and her friend who were attacked before the first day of class in separate incidents.
Every time you hear a story like that you become more determined to get the word out and hopefully things will change.

So What IS Rape
Culture, If Not This?
March 3, 2014 by Matthew G P Coe 23 Comments
Matthew G. P. Coe looks critically at a culture that
allows people to make jokes about raping the President of the Student Union of
the University of Ottawa.
-
Last Friday, Anne Thériault released photographs she
received of a Facebook conversation between five members of the board of the
Student Federation of the University of Ottawa. She wasn’t a party to this
discussion, thank God, because if you weren’t already aware, this conversation
was a product of their frustration over the victory of the new leader of the
Federation, Anne Marie Roy.
The photographs that were released, which are part of an
ongoing issue within the SFUO, capture a conversation that describes the
assorted sex acts one of the participants seemed to intend to engage in with Ms
Roy. The conversation included the exchange, “someone punish her with their
shaft,” and the reply, “if you fuck [her] I will definitely buy you a beer.”
Anne’s article has been linked to from a variety of areas
(including the SFUO’s own publication, The Fulcrum), and almost invariably,
when (presumably) university-age men get involved in the discussion, they
defend the participants in the discussion, claiming that this isn’t rape
culture; they were just talking about much they wanted to have sex with her.
No.
This conversation isn’t a bunch of fourth-years
fantasising about a particular woman. This conversation is people who are angry
that this particular woman won an election, who rumourmonger about her sex
life, and who describe in graphic detail how they would like to revenge their
electoral loss upon the victor.
If that isn’t rape culture, I’m not sure what a better
example could be.
♦◊♦
But their apologists insist that we don’t live in a rape
culture. Because, despite myriad examples in the media, they can’t (or won’t)
interpolate a common thread of all the incidents to discover a working
definition. So, how about this, which I’ve derived from all the examples I’ve
discovered and read of since I started paying attention:
Rape culture is the gradual normalisation, through, for
example, jokes, commentary, and apologia, of the exertion of one person’s will
over another, through the use of coerced or forced sex acts, such that such
exertions become acceptable or justifiable as either hypothetical or practical
actions.
Does that about cover it? I think it does. The way we
suggest that victims of prison rape somehow had it coming, simply by virtue of
being convicted criminals, is there. The way we suggest that, when a woman gets
drunk at a party and coerced into sex she wouldn’t normally have, that she’s
somehow invited it, is there. We’ve got all the tasteless rape jokes covered,
including those made by these five individuals… and as a bonus, the included
definition of rape, I think, avoids the obnoxious fallacy of “all intoxicated
sex is rape”.
So, given this as a working definition of rape culture..
how exactly is the conversation between these five not a glaring example? How
exactly is the fact that at least three of them are, apparently, considering
legal action against Ms Roy, not rape culture? And for.. what? Receiving
photographs of a Facebook conversation, and bringing the conversation to the
attention of the SFUO? Even this threat of a lawsuit is an aspect of rape
culture–they’re using threats (and legally dubious ones, at that) to try to
silence her and keep their appalling conversation in the shadows. They are
attempting to normalise their “jokes” about raping Ms Roy.
♦◊♦
That all but one of them are so aggressively refusing to
admit that their conversation was so horrifying is a further attempt to
normalise it. They’re acting as though Ms Roy exposing them was a greater wrong
than what could, in a certain light, be seen as a conspiracy to rape her. And
why? Because she won the Student Federation’s election.
These aren’t even reasonably responsible adults. They’re
undergraduate students, and they seem to think that all of how they’ve been
behaving is acceptable. This speaks volumes of the society in which they grew
up, that at (roughly) twenty-two years of age, they can so thoroughly
disrespect and disregard women.
The worst part of it is that, for women who put
themselves on the front lines, who speak and act as though they deserve to be
regarded equally with men… this kind of reception isn’t remotely uncommon.
So try to tell me that rape culture isn’t real. Because
every time something like this happens… I know that it is.
comment:
“If that isn’t rape culture, I’m not sure what a better
example could be.”
What about the FBI definition of rape that ignores the
vast majority of female perpetrated rapes?
“Rape culture is the gradual normalisation, through, for
example, jokes, commentary, and apologia, of the exertion of one person’s will
over another, through the use of coerced or forced sex acts, such that such
exertions become acceptable or justifiable as either hypothetical or practical
actions.”
Although a good working definition, I can see a glaring
omission, the erasure of victims. Whenever someone makes a statement such as
only 1% of rapes are committed by women based on statistics gathered from data
using the biased FBI definition, they erase 100,000s of victims based on the
CDC 2010 NISVS. When these stats don’t include rapes in prison, they erase all
those victims, the overwhelming majority of whom are men and boys.
COMMENT: MATTHEW COLE
March 3, 2014 at 4:29 pm
I’m sorry if I made it seem like the normalisation of
rape is more indicative of a rape culture than rape itself. Of course it isn’t.
The fact that, what are the most recent numbers, one in FOUR women will be
sexually assaulted in her life, is indicative that rape is a *huge* problem.
I was attempting to address all the conversation that
tries to suggest the conversation I referred to is *not* rape culture. That
it’s just “how guys talk”, or that because Ms Roy wasn’t *actually* raped, it’s
okay to talk like that. That it’s harmless fantasy.
It’s not. It’s symptomatic of a culture that’s become
horrifyingly desensitised to the use of sex acts as a weapon. That it’s
acceptable to suggest–even in supposed jest–that you, or one of your friends,
should rape a woman because you believe that she misrepresented herself in
order to win an election.
The comments “this isn’t rape culture” or “‘rape culture’
as a term is overused” get trotted out each and every time one of these
incidents arises. And it’s horrifying to see. Apparently these people need a
dictionary definition of rape culture in order to get it.

Rape Culture at the University of Ottawa
28 Feb
On February 10th, Anne Marie Roy, president of the Student
Federation of the University of Ottawa, was sent screenshots of a chat that had
taken place earlier in the month between two student federation board members
and several other students who are either elected to or participate in various
faculty associations. The chat had taken place during the student federation
elections, and all five men involved were members of a campaign opposing Roy’s
(Roy has been president of the student federation since May 2013, and was
re-elected this month). The conversation was about Roy, and the portion she was
given contained graphic sexual descriptions about what the men wanted to do to
her, including a rape joke that could, potentially, be taken as a rape threat.
Below are the screenshots. The participants are as
follows:
Bart Tremblay: a non-elected student involved with the
association for the Arts faculty
Alexandre Giroux: On the board of directors of the
Student Federation of the University of Ottawa, and VP Social for the Science
Student Association
Alex Larochelle: VP Social for the Criminology Student
Association
Pat Marquis: VP Social of the Student Federation of the
University of Ottawa
Michel Fournier-Simard: VP Social for the Political
Science and International developement Association
Screen Shot 2014-02-28 at 1.56.05 PM
Bart Tremblay: Let me tell you
something right now: the “tri-fluvienne” [nickname for someone from
Trois-Rivières, Québec] president will suck me off in her office chair and
after I will fuck her in the ass on Pat [Marquis]‘s desk
Alexandre Giroux: Tri-fluvienne? Who’s
that?
Alex Larochelle: PJ I believe?
Bart Tremblay: Anne-Marie Roy, you
dipshits, she comes from Trois-Rivières
Screen Shot 2014-02-28 at 1.56.45 PM
Alexandre Giroux: What? No. What a
shit-eater. She says that she comes from somewhere in Ontario.
Alex Larochelle: Fuck yeah Anne Marie
Roy
Bart Tremblay: She told me
Trois-Rivières
Alexandre Giroux: Haha shiiit
Alex Larochelle: Someone punish her
with their shaft
Alexandre Giroux: Well Christ, if you
fuck Anne Marie I will definitely buy you a beer
Screen Shot 2014-02-28 at 1.57.07 PM
Alex Larochelle: Hahah, I’d buy you a
beer too
Bart Tremblay: Lol
Alexandre Giroux: BAHAHA
Pat Marquis: I’ll get a 24 for Bart if
he does it
Bart Tremblay: [Thumbs up symbol]
Bart Tremblay: Yeeee
Screen Shot 2014-02-28 at 1.57.41 PM
Michel Fournier-Simard: Dude she has
chlamydia. And she told francophone students that she was from Trois-Rivières
but she moved to Southern Ontario when she was five years old. It’s a super
political strategy.
Alex Larochelle: Hahaha I heard she
has syphilis
Alexandre Giroux: Well look hahhahahah
Alex Larochelle: But those get treated
bro lol. Someone told Pat and I when we were in Boston. It’s such bull shit
hahaha.
Someone punish her with their shaft. Someone punish her
with their shaft. This is the type of thing that’s said about women in
positions of power – not a critique of their policies, but a threat of sexual
violence. Not a comment on how they do their job, but graphic fantasies about
how they should be sexually degraded. Nothing about their intelligence or capability,
just a string of jokes about how riddled with venereal disease they are. This
is misogyny, pure and simple. This is slut-shaming. This is rape culture.
Can you imagine anything like this ever being said about
a male leader? Try to picture, for a moment, a female candidate saying that her
opponent is going to eat her out, or that she’s going to “punish” him with her
vagina. Sounds pretty unlikely, doesn’t it? And yet, this is the kind of thing
that women are subjected to all the time; the truth is that no matter how far
we might think we’ve come, no matter how many female CEOs there might be, the
belief that women are little more than a collection of fuck-holes persists. Oh
sure, people might pay lip-service to the fact that women are equal to men in
intelligence, talent, and capability, but at the end of the day we can’t escape
the fact that a woman is still viewed as being less than a person. Because that
conversation right there? That is not how you talk about a person.
What’s even worse is that events like these are nearly
always downplayed. It’s just a joke, people say. They would never have said
that if they’d thought you would hear it. In fact, three of the five men
involved in the conversation are considering legal action against Roy on the
grounds that it was a private conversation that should not have been made
public. That’s right. They want to pursue legal action against her because she
publicly called them out for making rape jokes about her. This is the fucked up
culture we live in.
To make things even worse, these men are all in a
position of leadership at the University of Ottawa. These are the people that
the students look up to, that they use as a sort of moral compass to navigate
university life. If these men face no consequences for their actions – indeed,
if they are able to press charges against Roy for publicly addressing their
comments – what are the students going to learn from this? They’ll learn that
rape is a joke, that women can be terrorized into silence, and that it’s
useless, maybe even dangerous, to speak up. Are these the lessons that we want
our student leaders to be instilling in the heads of seventeen and eighteen
year old kids?
Since this incident was first brought to light, Pat
Marquis, the VP Social for the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa,
has been in discussions with Roy about the accountability measures he can take
for his role in this conversation. It is their hope that these measures can be
a public conversation between Roy and Marquis, and could serve as a learning
opportunity for the student body. Alex Larochelle has also contacted Roy and
tentatively mentioned participating in this conversation as well. As for Bart
Tremblay, Alexandre Giroux and Michel Fournier-Simard, they are continuing to
attempt to pursue legal action against Roy.
I reached Roy this afternoon for a statement, and she had
this to say:
“It’s definitely concerning because these are individuals
who are responsible for putting on social events, many of which involve
alcohol, and they are also responsible for the safety of membership at these
events. On a personal level I feel that this is very misogynistic, I feel that
this is a reaction that these men are having because I’m a woman in a position
of leadership. My concerns on this are twofold: first, the issue of student
safety in general, and second, that women are not going to feel safe running
for positions of leadership on campus.”
I think she pretty much hits the nail on the head with
that assessment.

Memorial University assignment on rape and
suicide upsets student union
Associated Press
By The Canadian PressJanuary 31, 2014 12:07 PM
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - The student union at Newfoundland's
Memorial University is calling for a professor to apologize for a controversial
assignment that it says makes light of sexual assault and mental health.
Candace Simms, the student union's executive director of
external affairs, said she learned of the assignment after students in a
computer science class taught by John Shieh (SHEE) came forward to complain.
Simms said the Jan. 20 assignment asked students to
create a computer program that could help determine whether a rape victim would
commit suicide.
"Students were very upset," Simms said Friday
in an interview. "It's a pretty disrespectful question to ask and it's
unnecessary for the type of assignment that it is. There are thousands of other
possibilities that this instructor could have used."
Shieh could not be reached for comment.
A spokeswoman for the university said the dean of
science, Mark Abrahams, was unavailable for an interview.
However, Kelly Foss emailed a statement from Abrahams in
which he said the school was investigating the matter.
"I can assure you we are taking this matter very
seriously," he said. "The particular assignment question has,
understandably, raised concern throughout the Memorial community and beyond. It
does not reflect the vision, mission and values of our university."
Simms said the student union believes Shieh should
undergo sensitivity training with the school's sexual harassment office, but it
is not calling for him to be punished.

U of T student loses bid to avoid class

U of T student Wongene Daniel Kim loses complaint before
Human Rights body against prof who docked marks when he wouldn’t attend co-ed

The controversy sparked a national debate about how far
universities should go to accommodate students, from religious belief to
personal preferences.
“The heart of the Human Rights Code is to make sure
people are treated fairly and accommodated for grounds protected by the code,
like race, gender, disability — but shyness around women is certainly not one
of those grounds,” said Jim Turk, executive director of the Canadian
Association for University Teachers.
“There is no reason whatsoever to accommodate personal
preference — what if I didn’t like redheads? — and when people try to use it
for personal preference undermines the basic values of a post-secondary
education dedicated to diversity and not treating any class of students as
subordinate to others.”
U of T spokesman Michael Kurts agreed the university
accommodates student requests based on any grounds protected by the Ontario
Human Rights Code, “but those human rights obligations do not extend to
individual preferences.”

HALIFAX CHRONICLE HERALD-
FUCKING PAEDOPHILES
Child molestation sentencing delayed after senior’s lawyer withdraws
STEVE BRUCE COURT REPORTER
sbr uce@herald.ca @Steve_Courts
A Dartmouth senior’s sentencing for molesting a boy was adjourned
Tuesday after his lawyer withdrew from the case.
Alan Harvey Shrum, 67, pleaded guilty in November in Nova Scotia
Supreme Court in Halifax to one count of sexual assault rather than go to trial
on five charges involving two boys. But complications arose recently after a
presentence report and a sex-offender risk assessment both said Shrum denied
responsibility for the offence.
Shrum told the authors of the two reports that he only pleaded guilty
to the charge because he was running out of money and wanted to get it over
with.
Defence lawyer Patrick MacEwen told the court Tuesday that the
predicament left him with no choice but to ask to be removed as solicitor of
record.
“I feel there’s been a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship,"
MacEwen said.
He said Shrum has applied to Nova Scotia Legal Aid for counsel.
“I’ve asked that his application be given some priority due to the
urgency of the matter before the court."
Justice John Murphy granted MacEwen’s motion to be excused from the
case and ordered Shrum to return to court April 2, hopefully with a new
lawyer.
Crown attorney James Giacomantonio said Shrum has two options — take
responsibility for his actions and proceed to sentencing with a new lawyer, or
apply to the court to withdraw his guilty plea.
The Crown will oppose any attempt to change the plea, Giacomantonio
said, and could subpoena MacEwen to testify if the issue goes to a hearing.
The offence that Shrum pleaded guilty to was allegedly committed
between January 2002 and August 2007 in Dartmouth and other places in Nova
Scotia.
The complainant was in his early teens when Shrum allegedly assaulted
him on numerous occasions. He alleges that Shrum, a family friend, regularly
performed oral sex on him.
Now in his mid-20s, the man’s identity is protected by a publication
ban.
Giacomantonio said the complainant was not pleased about Tuesday’s
developments.
“He’s not happy," the prosecutor said. “His family was here
today to support him. This matter has been before the courts (since December
2011) and this day that was supposed to give him some kind of closure is now
just another delay."
Shrum remains free on conditions restricting his contact with
children and his Internet use.

A look into The Chronicle Herald’s vast collection of historic and archival photos from around the province.
Inspector finds low standards
A photograph of a cell block in Halifax County jail was published with a story in The Halifax Chronicle-Herald on March 18, 1957. Standards “far too low for a civilized country to tolerate . . . some incredibly bad" shocked the new inspector of penal institutions, Dr. Clyde Marshall, on his first inspection of Nova Scotia jails.

Racial segregation, social justice style -UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
By Anthony Furey ,QMI
Agency
First posted: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 05:35 PM EST
What first comes to mind when you hear “racially segregated
school event”?
You probably think of the United States civil rights movement in
the 1950s and 1960s.
Try again. It’s happening now in Canada.
Concerned students got in touch with me about an event the
Student Federation of the University of Ottawa put on Tuesday night called In
My Skin.
The goal was supposedly to talk about experiences with racism.
However, the online invitation was taken down due to controversy.
It read: “In this meeting, we will have all the racialized folks
in one room talking about their experiences … In another room, we will have all
the non-racialized folks talking about their white privileges.” That’s right.
Whites in one room. Non-whites in another.
Emma wrote passionately on the event board: “THIS IS THE MOST
F---ING RACIST THING THIS DAMN SCHOOL HAS EVER DONE... YOU ARE MAKING HUGE HUGE
HUGE HUMANITARIAN MISTAKES.” Mixed race students had a problem too. Jamie
wrote: “I personally have no idea where I will sit considering I’m half white
and half black. I actually don’t want to attend this event solely because I
will feel awkward no matter what room I’m sitting in as I won’t feel that I
completely fit in with either side.” But Selena’s comment was the most
powerful: “So I’m guessing I can’t sit with my boyfriend then.” A young couple
are able to go about undisturbed in society today because of advances made
decades ago. Then an organization says if they want to attend an official event
in their community they have to be separated based on colour.
In a statement standing behind the event, the student federation
notes:
“Unfortunately, the structure of these two initial discussion
groups were misunderstood by some students, who claimed that such an event
promoted segregation and ‘reverse racism.’ It is first important to note that
reverse racism is a myth.” So that’s how they get around their own racism —
claiming it’s a myth.
Has it occurred to the student union’s mostly white executive that
the best way to achieve harmony is to focus on similarities, not differences?
In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of
Education that state laws establishing separate schools for black and white
students was unconstitutional.
And yet half a century later, because of some social justice
gobbledygook, we’re faced with this.
The SFUO represents more than 35,000 undergraduate students.
They pay yearly dues of around $175.
The purpose is to give students a voice alongside administration,
faculty and the broader government. But they stray far from that.
This week is Reproductive Justice Week — a week of pro-choice
activism.
There’s a campaign to eliminate bottled water on campus and
another to challenge the Health Canada rule banning men who have had sex with
men from giving blood.
Whatever your views on these issues, why should every student
pay $175 for activists to wage these battles? (Or to segregate races?) Only
3,800 students voted in the 2013 SFUO elections. This low turnout is natural
because students care more about studying.
But this enables the extremists to build empires unnoticed.
The student union didn’t return calls about the event and they
weren’t making details like the time public.
If you attended either session and would like to share what
happened, e-mail me.
If you don’t want your student fees or tax dollars supporting
racial disunity, e-mail university president Allan Rock at
president@uOttawa.ca.
University today: It’s like some kind of 1960s Alabama-style
Occupy encampment. Welcome to the 21st century folks!
