Damn Feminists

A female high school student was dismissed from a weightlifting class by the principal because he "feared male students might try to rape her."

"Having a female with 35 or so male students in an isolated area from the school, it sets a very liable situation in my opinion," [then-principal Bob McCracken] said in the deposition.

Three days after kicking Phillips out of the class, McCracken changed his mind and reinstated her.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifford Shirley asked [school attorney Arthur F. Knight] if the principal was wrong in removing Phillips from the class.

"She is up there with a bunch of football players, a 24- to 25-year-old coach, the only girl — there is a safety issue there. It was a hard call for the principal to make," Knight answered.

I wish uppity women like Bob McCracken and Arthur Knight would stop propagating the notion that all men are rapists.

At least they had the good sense to do the right thing and preemptively punish the potential victim for totally the right reason—that it was "a very liable situation."

(BTW, this is exactly what I’m talking about when I suggest that there are opportunities for men to talk to other men about rape. What are the chances that any of those young men, no less the coach, would have sexually assaulted the only woman in their midst if one class had been dedicated to a rape prevention seminar? I’d have to go with somewhere between nil and none. Via.)
