Sexual assaults and rapes are apparently so numerous at Zuccotti Park in the New York “occupation” that the occupiers are installing single-sex tents:
It’s a safe house from the sex fiends.
Zuccotti Park has become so overrun by sexual predators attacking women in the night that organizers felt compelled to set up a female-only sleeping tent yesterday to keep the sickos away.
The large, metal-framed “safety tent” — which will be guarded by an all-female patrol — can accommodate as many as 18 people and will be used during the day for women-only meetings, said Occupy Wall Street organizers.
“This is all about safety in numbers,” said Becky Wartell, 24, a protester from Portland, Maine.
You’ll want to read the whole story. One woman was groped after trustingly accepting a man’s offer to sleep in his tent. Are we raising a generation of absolute naifs?
On this issue of single-sex tents, I think a more immediate concern might be: when does the sex discrimination suit kick in?
As Kamilla Ludwig, (a feisty lady whom I don’t really know, sorry) tweeted:
“…isn’t CUA getting sued for returning to singe-sex dorms?”
Why yes indeed, Kamilla Ludwig, yes Catholic University of America is being sued for sex discrimination because it is returning to single sex dorms.
Single-sex sleeping accommodations are only sexist when Catholics initiate them, it seems. If others arrange them, it is wisdom.
CUA, a Pontifical University, is also being sued for being too insular, too representative of what it is, and therefore not creating Catholic-Free prayer areas on its campuses.
Meanwhile, at Zuccotti Park news, plans are in the works to advance segregation, so that people can be more insular, more representative of who they are.

This can’t be repeated enough: With a few exceptions, foremost among them the New York Post, the coverage of OWS protests compared to the coverage of tea-party protests is the worst media double standard in recent history.
Well, he’s right, of course, and you should read his whole post and follow the links. But the double standards are not solely the provenance of the mainstream media. Lawsuit-enthusiasts also seem to pick-and-choose their targets.

So what percent are the women?..LOL. The fracturing continues without delay. If we could set up a long big mirror along side the edge of their camp, they might see something that looks stupid.
Anarchy in a community is wonderful, as long as you have rules to limit the chaos, a coordinator to decide what limits are needed, people to police the enforcement of those rules, and a revenue source that will pay for the minimal necessary community expenses. In fact, that system sounds just about perfect. I think such limited anarchy would last a long time, probably until the coordinators discovered they could buy extra time in that position by collecting more money for the community to bribe those who select the coordinators. A written founding document that limited the coordinators’ power might even extend that time. We should try that system - it would be glorious while it lasted . . . but then sad when community members started ignoring the founding limits on their leaders’ power.
Someone (was it livius?) once mentioned that in the original leftist “movements,” women were there to cook and to **** any man who wanted it. Out of this - Marxist women who didn’t want to be just unpaid cooks and whores - grew the feminist movement.
It appears that young women who imagine they’re reenacting the 1960s at “OWS” and subsidiaries are learning the lesson all over again.
What we see and they are experiencing is what they want in a society, lawlessness, brutality, rape, robbery, drug and alcohol use...........viva la revolution!
