Michigan legislative action thread

The redefinition of the word violence continues among revelations that discounting a sexual partner's feelings and withholding sex constitutes sexual violence at the University of Michigan. The relevant info can be found at the university's "Stop Abuse" webpage:
Examples of sexual violence include: discounting the partner's feelings regarding sex; criticizing the partner sexually; touching the partner sexually in inappropriate and uncomfortable ways; withholding sex and affection; always demanding sex; forcing partner to strip as a form of humiliation (maybe in front of children), to witness sexual acts, to participate in uncomfortable sex or sex after an episode of violence, to have sex with other people; and using objects and/or weapons to hurt during sex or threats to back up demands for sex.
Criticizing someone sexually and withholding sex are unkind things to do, but they aren't violent acts in and of themselves. Indeed, a university spokesperson could only defend the definitions as appropriate within "a larger context," according to Derek Draplin of The College Fix:
The definitions of behaviors of violence … describe most accurately what occurs in an abusive relationship,” [U-M spokesperson Rick Fitzgerald] said in an email. “Those behaviors not in the context of violence are not abusive. A reader of this site would recognize that it’s described as one behavior in the context of a pattern of behaviors to maintain power and control over an intimate partner."
But, as Draplin writes, universities make these slips all the time—treating disfavored behavior and physically painful behavior as one and the same. He cites an interview with the sexual violence support coordinator at Brock University in Canada in which the administrator claims "anything that makes someone feel unsafe" counts as violence.
Institutions of higher learning should be more precise with their definitions. Being insufficiently attentive to other people's feelings is not an act of violence.

This is why the Sevual Violence numbers in US colleges are WORSE than they are in Turd World Hell holes where they actually treat women like S&%&^!
They changed the parameters to inflate the numbner to “create a crisis”...
Requesting sex is sexual violence
BUT ALSO!
Refusing sex is sexual violence
Liberal insanity continues from the loony left
So, let me get this straight:
If I do do you, then I’m guilty.
If I don’t do you, then I’m guilty.
Aha!
You mean “I got a headache” is now Sexual Violence? Who knew?
Well then I was sexually abused by many a girl during high school and college. I need reparations.
No, it only counts if it’s the man refusing sex to the woman who is demanding it; certainly not a woman turning down sex or refusing to carry through.
Ignorant insanity without a doubt.
Yup. Its Bible thumpers that are sticking their noses in peoples bedrooms alright!
Kidding aside, between this latest type of liberal intrusion into peoples lives and the general PC stuff, I have to wonder how stupid younger people have to be to magically believe libs are their buddies.

So every time a girl rejects a nerdy fat kid for a date, she is guilty of “sexual violence”??
This sort of nonsense will only stop when the Federal government announces that no school that grants tenure to its employees will receive any taxpayer support. Without tenure the universities would be much more rational and productive.
This sounds like parody
So let me get this straight.
WITHOLDING sex will now be a sexual assault crime?
You know what I think? I think these idjits are all (bleeped) in the head.
Now come arrest me. I just thought a sexual hate crime.
Poor Laz.
Now that he’s NOT hitting it. He’s still guilty of sexual violence.
You discounting their feelings
“This sort of nonsense will only stop when the Federal government announces that no school that grants tenure to its employees “
This has nothing to do with tenure.
If wacky professors did not have tenure they’d still say these things and would rig the system to keep their jobs some other way. In fact it would be worse because they’d dump the non-communist/multicuoltural/leftwing people faster and never promote them.
This is caused by an a granting degrees to fools who place an agenda over truth
Cut off the federal funding and the schools wouldn’t waste money hiring professors who preach this stupid crap.
