The contrast between modern Western American attitudes toward female sexuality and the Islamic cultural norms of Dubai reveals a fundamental divide between radical individual autonomy and patriarchal communal order. The American Framework: Atomized Consent and Radical Autonomy In modern America, female sexuality is governed almost entirely by the secular framework of individual consent. Rooted in…

When a high-profile sexual assault scandal shook Cornell University, the ringleader was an international student from Dubai whose father was an Islamic studies scholar. Rather than confronting the ideological and cultural attitudes toward women imported from foreign societies, institutional feminists and campus administrators deflected, desperate to preserve their dogmas on diversity and cosmopolitanism. This is…

The systemic failure of modern feminism to confront sexual violence committed by non-Western men is not an accidental oversight; it is the inevitable consequence of an ideology that subordinates female protection to intersectional dogma, multiculturalism, and anticolonial politics. When an ideology ranks victimhood according to race, religion, and anti-Western bona fides, solidarity with women dissolves…

Okay, so a couple of things: no person is ever responsible for their own sexual assault, and men and boys are sexually assaulted, along with women and girls, and people who do not identify with any particular gender. It affects everyone in every group and category. Nobody is ever responsible for their own victimization. That…

Update: “Umar Matthew Ingalls won a coveted place at Cornell University in 2023….Ingalls, 21, was later expelled from Cornell following an internal university investigation. One of Ingalls’ neighbors told the Daily Mail they believe he has returned to the Middle East, where he enjoyed a privileged upbringing and attended an elite private school in Emirates…

The most revealing way to understand Matthew Ingalls’s conduct is not to begin with sex. Begin with Chi Phi. Ingalls himself said: “I fucking love Chi Phi.” That statement provides a possible key to the entire sequence—not as proof of motive by itself, but when considered alongside what he did before, during, and after the…

Antisemitism is often more than prejudice. In many of its worst episodes, someone with power used it as a tool, a way to redirect public anger away from failures, scandals, or dissent. That doesn’t make the hatred any less real. It does mean that fighting it works best when paired with scrutiny of who is…

The truth is that the Cornell case is going to be very hard to prosecute because it’s going to turn on memory. The memory of people who were not only drunk but drugged up on ketamine. And so getting beyond a reasonable doubt is going to be a challenge unless one of the guys turns…

The hidden function of elite men’s college fraternities is not social. It is governmental. The fraternity is an induction device: it takes young men at the age when identity is still plastic, binds them through shared experience outsiders do not share, rewards them through a lifetime pipeline of preferment—the job, the loan, the clerkship, the…

The public debate over the Cornell case keeps falling into a false choice: either Jane Doe is completely telling the truth, or her post-event behavior proves nothing illegal happened. The actual evidence supports neither conclusion. It is entirely possible that Jane Doe was sexually assaulted while the current public evidence still isn’t enough to prove…
