Feministische Randale torpediert (mal wieder) Meinungsfreiheit an kanadischer Uni

Am 23. März stimmten die Studenten der Queens University im kanadischen Ottawa dafür, dass die Meinungsfreiheit sogar für Männerrechtler zu gelten habe:

Student councillors at Queen’s University’s Alma Mater Society (AMS) voted last week to respect the right of its members to have equal access to AMS services regardless of their political views.

Queen’s University’s Men’s Issues Awareness Society (MIAS) is a registered student group and will be hosting a discussion on March 27 on campus, titled "What’s Equality Got To Do With it? Men’s Issues and Feminism’s Double Standards." The event will include a presentation by University of Ottawa professor and author Dr. Janice Fiamengo who will discuss men’s issues.

Wie der von mir zitierte Artikel weiter berichtet, war diese Meinungsfreiheit und die Freiheit, sich auch den Anliegen von Männern zuzuwenden, von radikalen Feministinnen unter Beschuss genommen worden – nicht nur in Ottawa, sondern erfolgreicher an anderen kanadischen Universitäten:

As JCCF reports in its 2013 Campus Freedom Index, men’s issues awareness groups are the target-du-jour of the politically correct on campus. This tactic of banning such groups is unfortunately not uncommon at Canada’s student unions. The University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) denied certification to its own Men’s Issues Awareness Society in December of 2012, stating that the student group had violated UTSU’s Discrimination on Campus Policy and the Ontario Human Rights Code, for "perpetuating harassment towards women." On March 15, 2013, the Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) denied certification to a student men’s issues group because it was allegedly affiliated with two external organizations, A Voice for Men and the Canadian Association for Equality, which RSU deemed "hate groups."

Nun sollte man annehmen, nachdem Feministinnen an der Queens University klar verdeutlicht wurde, dass die dortige Studentenschaft sich für die Redefreiheit auch von Männerrechtlern einsetzt, sei die Sache gegessen. Tatsächlich aber kam es gestern Abend bei dem Vortrag von Professorin Janice Flamengo zu derselben feministischen Randale, die man schon von früheren Veranstaltungen dieser Art an kanadischen Unis kannte und die dazu dienen sollte, diesen Vortrag unmöglich zu machen. (Genderama berichtete mehrfach.) Über die Anliegen von Männern sollte nicht gesprochen, der Feminismus nicht kritisiert werden dürfen.

Die männerpolitische Website A Voice for Men berichtet mit Bezug auf Meldungen einer Art Newsticker von Ottawas Studentenzeitschrift The Fulcrum:

Tonight, March 28, 2014, Dr. Janice Fiamengo was scheduled to give a lecture at the University of Ottawa Campus.

If you want to see what happened, and how those "feminists" who supposedly "support equality" by screaming, name-calling, blowing horns, banging, and pulling fire alarms, see The Fulcrum’s Storify reporting of the event.

In short, instead of a lecture with a Q & A period what took place was an organized shut down of free speech. The protesters came armed with noise makers ready to trample on Section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that is supposed to protect all in Canada.

And that is exactly what those protesters did. They bullied their way in and took that blessed document, which is the highest law in the land, and wiped their arses with it.

They literally over turned and trampled on the most sacred of rights in a free and democratic society.

The freedom of expression.

This is an extremely sad day for all Canadians. What has just happened in our nation’s capital was the collective spitting on every soldier who fought and died to protect freedom of speech world-wide.

These groups, who would silence voices to protect their narrative, are no better than any other totalitarian regime who sought to prohibit freedom of speech in the past. They are the enemy of freedom and human rights, not the anointed protectors.

Wir haben eine sehr ähnliche Situation auch an deutschen Universitäten. Die Angst vieler Feministinnen davor, dass ihre Ideologie durch abweichende Meinungen in Frage gestellt wird, ist mittlerweile weltweit enorm. Ebenso enorm ist offenbar die feministische Gewissheit, ihre Auffassungen in einer offenen und freien Debatte niemals durchsetzen zu können - weshalb diese Debatte verhindert werden muss.
