A spokesman for one of Harvard University’s most exclusive undergrad social clubs has come up with what may be the most ironic excuse possible for keeping the club an all-male enclave.
In the wake of a report blasting Harvard’s “final clubs,” as they’re known, for their “deeply misogynistic attitudes” and generally rapey atmosphere, the 225-year-old Porcellian Club released a statement saying that it would be a huge mistake for Harvard to force the club to admit women.
Because the men of the club might rape them.
In the statement, emailed to the Harvard Crimson, Charles M. Storey (class of 1982) claimed that the Porcellian Club club has a perfect record when it comes to rape, with “no allegation of sexual assault” ever leveled at the club. (He’s pretty sure.)
But maybe that’s just because there were no women in the club to rape.
Given our policies, we are mystified as to why the current administration feels that forcing our club to accept female members would reduce the incidence of sexual assault on campus, … Forcing single gender organizations to accept members of the opposite sex could potentially increase, not decrease the potential for sexual misconduct.
CHECKMATE, FEMINISTS!
She tears the roof off just by having that name. That’s the best name ever.
HAH! I was in the Navy for over a decade. Removing women from the equation DOES NOT remove all sexual misconduct.
That’s a fools fact if I ever heard one.
Ah, I kept my eyes peeled – OH and I were near the Momentum banner (there were a sprinkling of these – we were near the one with no region marked on it, as it was being held aloft by Londoners as far as we could see, and there were an Oxford one and a Cambridge one just behind us 🙂 ) – but I didn’t see the Over 50s for Corbyn banner (I might have glimpsed it in the distance, but the crowd was so packed at that point you couldn’t move much and I’m not entirely sure if I saw it or not) and sadly I didn’t see anyone who might have been EJ or bluecat or Dr. Nicola Luna 🙁
But it was a pretty good turnout, and there were some blinding speeches – John McDonnell was good, as was Natalie Bennett, and Owen Jones not half bad. (Quite the change of pace, to see opposition politicians in the middle of the crowd on the ground (McDonnell) at a demo – and being massively applauded. Wouldn’t have happened a few years ago …)
OH was taking photos of all and sundry, at one point he took one in the direction of the anarchists just as they were passing us and got roundly sworn at (it was a bit daft, tbh, a bit “see youse, see me, see me being intimidating”). And there was a bit of a kerfuffle at the end between a couple of them and the police.
Some very good banners and posters and references to the Panama papers all round.

Well, her partner’s name is Happiness Agboro. So…
Wow!…It is amazing that to this day and age, misogynist are alive. I thought it was only in the realm of imagination. While I understand that breaking tradition may be a pain, but putting the logic of having a 100% rape free environment is not fair, especially when in the world of gay people around, who can claim that the 225-year-old Porcellian Club had not had moments of sexual violence or indolence( call it rape if you will) between men and men.
We went and checked by the Over 50s banner but nobody there had The Scarf, so we walked up to the front with the people carrying the steelworker banners.
Ah well. Hope you had a good day. I still can’t remember the speaker’s name – can anyone find a list of who spoke that day? I want to hear her again. It wasn’t Apata – her given first name was Phil (or Fil or some other homonym.)
OT: The game Rust now randomly assigns you a gender and a race based on your SteamID and angry dudebro gamers are pissed they are playing as women and can’t switch genders.
Thanks,
ObamaRust devs!It was a good day, yes! Who knows, perhaps there will be a WHTM crossing of paths on another demo 🙂
(I know which speaker you mean but I can’t remember her surname either, sorry)

The pig thing is odd.
These elites are satanists.
The pig is an ‘unclean’ animal in Judism, Islam and early Christianity.
Having intercourse with a pig is another example of Illuminati inversion. David Cameron is famous for having intercourse with a dead pig as a fraternity ritual.
In the Channel 4 drama Black Mirror, this is alluded to in the story about the Prime Minister of England being blackmailed into having sex with a pig on YouTube.
The fraternity network must be very, very afraid of losing their power. Institutions such as this, and International Freemasonry have always given a good ‘leg up’ to their brethren. It is a rare thing indeed for a head of state, MP etc in either the UK or USA not to have strong family ties to The Bullingdon club, Skull and Bones or Bohemia Grove, or to be a high level, 33 degree Freemason. It is very low of them to use fear tactics to keep women out on the threat of rape or sexual harassment, but I’m not really surprised when you consider the ritualistic nature of these societies and what goes on ‘behind closed doors’ – beasiality, paedophilia, human sacrifice and blood drinking is commonplace. You might want to give Stanley Kubrick’s famous final feature another viewing, he was telling a story very close to the truth.

the only women only organizations that I can think of on my campus are sororities and I don’t think the argument for sororities is safety but saying that you’re baring people from your organization because they are threat to you is totally different than baring people to your organization because you are a threat to them
