We've seen examples of how the anti-male stigma begins in universities, with lies about the gender pay gap and the campus 'rape crisis'. Young men are ruined by sexual assault claims based on the 20% assault myth that continues to be
Now, people are being stigmatized who deviate or are claimed to deviate from the COVID 19 'laws'. If you're believed by authorities to not be practicing proper social distancing, you are in deep trouble.
Too many of us are too quick to give up our human rights in my view. Where is the concern for due process? It is looking to me that, both on campus and in the Covid world, there is little concern for basic constitutional rights. How is our society different from totalitarian China?

- amplified by the media, and

Interview with Emily Yoffe:
Q.The simple narrative is, "Trump doesn't think consent is important, so he's changing these guidelines to help people like him get off the hook for sexual assault." What's missing from that story?
A.The problem [with rape adjudications on college campuses] hasn't penetrated the public consciousness. This three-part series of mine just ran in The Atlantic, and as we were working on the first part, which was mostly about due process—how we got here and how things have gone off the rails—I said to my editor, "Isn't this kind of old? Don't people already know this?" But he was right. People don't know that a young man can be expelled from college without ever having received specific written notice of what he's alleged to have done wrong. They don't know that virtually any encounter with a sexual element, including a joke, can get someone in deep trouble.
The next quote is from an article that attacks President Trump for changing the rules to allow 'due process' legal protection for males accused of sexual assault and rape on campus:
By Michael Dolce, lawyer representing victims of sexual abuse, sex trafficking and domestic violence
Members of Congress can't let Education Secretary Betsy DeVos off easy when she testifies Thursday about her department's new budget request. They must use this opportunity to interrogate her about her planned changes to sexual harassment rules on college campuses.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is famous for branding conservative and Christian groups as 'hateful'. Their branding is used by the mainstream media to attack these individuals and groups. Following is a cute video that pretends to teach young people about dealing with hate speech i.e. speech that people like the SPLC disagree with:

This next video identifies the "speech code virus" that has infected the education system and is particularly enforced in colleges and universities. You will see examples of this from my own Seneca College.
Speech Codes attack free speech on campuses 2.44 from "Indoctrinate U" documentary on our blog:
Evan Maloney, in the above interview, says that when speech codes are found unconstitutional in court, they are repackaged by colleges and show up in places like "Sexual Harassment Policies" Example from my former college:
Engaging in a course of conduct of a gender-related or sexual nature that is known, or might reasonably be known, to be unwelcome/unwanted, offensive, intimidating, hostile or inappropriate. Depending on its severity, one action may constitute sexual harassment.
This may include, but is not limited to; demeaning gestures, remarks and jokes; slurs; taunting; innuendo based on gender or sexual orientation; unwanted physical contact; leering; inappropriate comments about clothing, physical characteristics or activities; unwanted questions or comments about one's private life, sexual orientation, marital or family status; the display of sexually offensive material; solicitation; unwanted attention; implied or expressed promise of reward or benefit in return for sexual favours; implied or expressed threat or act of reprisal if sexual favours are not given or sexual assault (Criminal Code of Canada offence).
- Abusive communication
Any unwelcome words or images received or distributed in person or by telephone, letter, electronic mail or any communication medium, including social media, that intimidate, disparage or cause humiliation, offence or embarrassment to a person.
Highlights:
- Anyone can make a complaint up to one year after the alleged incident
- The college can immediately suspend the alleged offender
- It will take a minimum of two weeks to begin hearing the complaint
- There are no provisions for the "offender" to have legal representation
- There are no consequences to a person found to be making a 'vexatious' complaint
- The college still may proceed with a trial even if the complaint is vexatious
- The penalties are severe
From the academic world to the rest of the world: how authorities are dealing with Covid offenders:
- Father arrested for playing soccer with daughter in empty park
- Ottawa Man find $800 dollars for walking his dog in a park
- $1546 Fine for Young Woman whose friends wished her a socially-distance happy birthday

I think that the most grieving video of the ones we have seen so far is the one about the people who would do nothing about the woman abusing her boyfriend. To be honest, I, myself, would be hesitant so say something but that is not because I think she should not be stopped, that is because I am far to shy. I would probably call the police if I watched for a while and she was hurting her boyfriend. However, I would take the same course of action if it were a man abusing their girlfriend. I think that it is stupid that there is a difference in people's attitudes just because of gender.
They are very interesting videos. The one thing that I kind of understand is how people don't respond to women abusing men the same vice versa. I think that is understandable; a man has a much higher ability to hurt a woman than a woman to a man. A woman shouldn't be let off the hook for abusing a man if it becomes abusive, and it's also not right for a woman to abuse a man. All I think is that it makes sense to physically step in if a man is being violent whereas a woman may respond better with words. What bugs me is false assault accusations. For my other thoughts, I think the hate speech spiel is totally ridiculous. The fact that somebody, especially a man, can get thrown off campus for a sexual or offensive 'look' is totally pathetic.
I just had a few thoughts on what you said about COVID-19 laws having been put in place, and our obligation to obey these laws.
As Christians I don’t believe we must fight for our human rights. Our job here on earth is to glorify God, and how are we doing this if we are standing up against our government, fighting for our rights. This is a secularist’s view on the world, trying to speak out against the government. Romans 13:1-2 says, “Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resist authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.” We must not fight against our government, but instead, pray for it and uphold it in Christ.
My aunt is a nurse in a COVID-19 ward in Britain, torn from her family with three young children, for a number of months, just to keep them safe from the chance that she may bring home the virus to them. The least we can do here, is obey our government in its strive to keep us safe. The Lord permitted Justin Trudeau to be elected in the last election, knowing the pandemic to follow, so we must take that in his sovereignty, he has planned this in our life. It is not up to us to be anxious about our economy, that is not what matters in this world, our job here on earth is to glorify God.
Here is a link and quote from a pastor in China that you may be interested in and what he says about his trouble with the government, but what he is doing instead:
“At the same time, I believe that this Communist regime’s persecution against the church is a greatly wicked, unlawful action. As a pastor of a Christian church, I must denounce this wickedness openly and severely. The calling that I have received requires me to use non-violent methods to disobey those human laws that disobey the Bible and God. My Savior Christ also requires me to joyfully bear all costs for disobeying wicked laws.
But this does not mean that my personal disobedience and the disobedience of the church is in any sense “fighting for rights” or political activism in the form of civil disobedience, because I do not have the intention of changing any institutions or laws of China. As a pastor, the only thing I care about is the disruption of man’s sinful nature by this faithful disobedience and the testimony it bears for the cross of Christ.
As a pastor, my disobedience is one part of the gospel commission. Christ’s great commission requires of us great disobedience. The goal of disobedience is not to change the world but to testify about another world.”
