Bettina Arndt is Australia's best-known Sex Therapist. But
she's not a Feminist.
The videos show why: the Feminist, Gay and Trans movements
are run by Trotskyists. They're the Ultra-Left of the Communist movement, the
branch of Communism that Stalin defeated.
They are based in Universities, schools, the Media, and
Government Departments. But rarely do they win elections.
They suppress opponents, as the videos show.

After Melbourne, similar events occurred when Bettina Arndt
addressed a meeting at Sydney University.
The Murdoch press (The Australian, Daily Telegraph, Herald
Sun, Andrew Bolt) reported these events. So did the UK Daily Mail. But the
Sydney Morning Herald, the Age (Melbourne), and the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation did not, deeming these events not news.

La Trobe activists try to disrupt talk on fake rape

Last week I spoke at La Trobe University, the first stop in
my Fake Rape Crisis campus tour. A
tiny group of rowdy protesters did their
best to disrupt the event, with university security doing absolutely
nothing to stop them. Look at this short video of their efforts:

Controversial columnist Bettina Arndt met by protesters at
uni event
By Richard Ferguson
The Australian
September 6, 2018
Bettina Arndt has confronted protesting socialist students as
she starts her controversial
university tour about campus rape.
The sex therapist and columnist gave her first of a series of
lectures on why she believes there
is not a “rape crisis” at Australian
universities at La Trobe University today, but not everyone wanted to listened.
All through Ms Arndt’s lecture, protesters aligned with the Victorian
Socialists banged on the doors of the Eastern Lecture Theatre and chanted “Bettina Arndt, go to hell. Go
take Milo (Yianipoulos) there as
well.”
But before she spoke, the sex therapist approached the
students at their uni square stand
and tried to talk to them. The socialist
students just kept chanting.
“Why don’t they come and listen to me speak? And engage in
a conversation around this issue,”
she said, “What are they afraid of?”
The lecture comes a week after La Trobe University reversed
their ban on the student Liberal
Club inviting Ms Arndt to speak on campus.
Ms Arndt’s lectures use cases of US rape allegations, and
data from both the NSW bureau of
Crime Statistics and the Australian Human Rights Commission, to make the case
that there is not a growing
prevalence of rape and sexual assault against female university students.
The sex therapist has said she wants to tackle the unfair treatment of male students who are
falsely accused of sex crimes on campus. But her critics accuse her of victim
blaming.
Ms Arndt said she spoke to the socialist speakers, despite
their aggressiveness, because she
wanted to invite them to the lecture.
“I went over there to ask them to come and listen and ask
me questions,” she said, “they
proceeded to scream in my ear from a foot away.”
Ms Arndt faced sceptical audience members inside too.
But she and her audience of supporters and critics battled on
while the protesters banged on the
doors and chanting “F*ck off, f*ck off,
Bettina,” to the tune of Queen’s We Will Rock You, and “When women’s rights are under attack, what do we
do? We fight back.”
Socialist student leader Elliot Downes said before the
protest they did not want to shut Ms
Arndt down.
“I think she represents a real far-right kind of sexism …
which drags society back to the
1950s,” they said.
“We’re not here to shut her down. We’re here to show there
are opposition to those views.”
But the socialist student added they had no interest in
taking on Ms Arndt in debate.
“I think our protest is the dialogue I want with her. I think
she has enough capacity to share her
ideas,” they said.
The university had originally let Ms Arndt speak if the
Liberal Club paid for costs.
But both Ms Arndt and Liberal Club president James Plozzo
told The Australian yesterday that
the university will now pay for
security.

When the Herald Sun broke the news this morning that a new political party – the Victorian
Socialists – has been formed with the ambitious goal of winning an upper house seat in
the Victorian elections later this
year, some people may have been surprised to learn that Socialist Alternative is involved in
the project.
After all, Socialist Alternative has had only fleeting
associations with the socialist
electoral projects of the last two decades.
This time, we are throwing ourselves in. Here’s why.

Riot squad called to Sydney Uni as protesters block halls to
stop talk by sex therapist Bettina
Arndt.
THE riot squad was called to The University of Sydney after
protesters blocked corridors

Left wing fascists strike again, trying to stop a debate they
know they'd lose:
THE riot squad was called to The University of Sydney after
protesters blocked corridors
stopping students who wanted to go to a talk by sex therapist Bettina Arndt.
Police arrived when the 30 or 40 students wouldn’t move out
of a corridor blocking access about
6pm last night.
Sydney University's failure to defend debate is shocking:
University security stood by watching when a number of people
trying to attend the talk were
pushed and shoved before the police arrived to move the protesters on.
That's security that the university actually forced the
victims to pay for, too.
Check carefully the faces of the protesters: you are looking
at bullies utterly smug in their
stupidity, and violently opposed to the
intelligent and free. Tomorrow's generation, tomorrow's threat.

Riot police were called to a university as protesters pushed
and shoved students attending a talk
by a sex therapist.
Almost 40 students were blocking the corridors of Sydney
University as they protested the
talk of sex therapist Bettina Arndt.
Ms Arndt said the protesters were 'roughing up' people who
were trying to enter her lecture and
described it as 'appalling behaviour' as
police arrived about 6pm to ease the situation.
{watch the video}
She apologised to the
attendees for having to call the police to handle the situation over the rights
of the students to free speech and
debating of various topics.
The self-described social commentator was offering a lecture
on the topic of, 'Is there a rape
crisis on campuses’ at the city campus on Tuesday.
Footage uploaded to social media shows several students
shouting and chanting against Ms
Arndt's attendance and lecture at the university.
According to the uni's student paper, Honi Soit, Ms Arndt was
saying that women should be held
more accountable for sexual assault crimes.
She also said that universities should not be interfering
with any allegations which are put
forward, stating the 'risks of being raped on campus are very low.'
In addition, the student paper writes that Ms Arndt claimed universities are '100 times safer' for
women than 'Indigenous communities
and rough neighbourhoods.'
She also warned against NSW changing sexual consent laws
following the rape trial involving
Luke Lazarus, Daily Telegraph reported.
The former private schoolboy had been accused of raping an
18-year-old virgin in a Kings Cross
alley behind his father's Soho nightclub about 4am on May 12, 2013.
Mr Lazarus, now 26, admitted he and Saxon Mullins had anal
sex in the alley, and that the woman
was down on all fours. The pair had gone
outside Soho into Hourigan Lane within three minutes of meeting on the dance floor.
He was initially found guilty of rape in 2015, but after 11
months in prison, he was granted a
retrial and subsequently acquitted.
Ms Arndt said it was 'not surprising' the case fuelled so
much outrage and is used as a means
to change the state's sexual consent laws.
'It doesn't mean we should go down this road of tilting the
rules to really disadvantage men who
are falsely accused.'
She continued to advise the young men to not take the risk
and always seek the 'enthusiastic
yes' when looking to perform any sexual
activity.
'It's absolutely appalling that women on this campus have
been told they can change their mind
about consent.'

Protestors confront attendees at Bettina Arndt talk Arndt called the police to expedite
the SULC event
by Millie Roberts
September 11, 2018
Controversial commentator and sex therapist Bettina Arndt was
met with protesters at her talk, ‘Is
there a rape crisis on campuses’ at USyd
today. Arndt, who is currently on a university tour, is known for dismissing the ‘manufactured rape
crisis’ in tertiary environments,
specifically cases taking place in colleges. Tonight’s event was hosted by the Sydney University
Liberal Society (SULC) and had an
overall turnout of approximately 40 people.
At the doors of the event, a crowd blocked the entrance to
the History Room s223 in the
Quadrangle where the talk was taking place, preventing ticket-holders from
entering the building. The protest was
organised by the Wom*n’s Collective and prompted an altercation between activists and attendees.
“Bettina’s ‘Fake Rape Tour’ across university campuses in
Australia is a misinformed and
harmful attempt to undo the work of generations of student activists and advocates in
combating the issues of sexual
violence on campus. We refuse to allow her rhetoric to go unchallenged,” Wom*n’s Officers,
Jessica Syed and Madeline Ward told
Honi.
Last week, Arndt was almost stopped from speaking at La
Trobe University in Melbourne,
before the University backpedalled on their decision. Honi understands that Arndt
approached SULC as part of her wider
tour and was not financially compensated.
“Rather than engage with the sexual assault campaign in a
meaningful way, [SULC] has instead
chosen to entertain the views of a woman who, quite frankly, has no idea what she’s
talking about,” Syed and Ward
said.
“We’re not sure why peaceful discussion is so threatening to
the left,” said SULC President, Jack
O’Brien. “Universities should be
places for vigorous debate and robust discourse, and part of our role as the Liberal Club is to encourage
that.”

00:0000:43 Inside the room,
Arndt was physically frazzled, calling the protest “disgusting” and accusing those
outside of “attacking [Arndt and
attendees]”. She urged the small group with her to film the protest from the doorway and requested for the
event to be cancelled twice, before
changing her mind and instead calling the police. At ten past six, five minutes before Arndt was
scheduled to commence her talk, the
emergency alarm rang.
Arndt capturing the protest outside
At the time the physical altercations started to break out,
only a single security guard was
present. This was despite the University
charging SULC around $320 for full security presence—a bill price that Arndt exaggerated by over $280 on 2GB
this afternoon.
Chaos ensued after an older attendee charged at the human
barricade formed in the hallway. A
man later fell into the event room screaming for help, followed in by teary women
and Young Liberals who described the
situation as “fun”. Protestors described being pushed, shoved and gripped by attendees and backup
security, before being forcibly
dragged out by a riot squad. As protestors left the event, ticket-holders filtered into the room
for the talk to begin.
The talk itself has been a source of contention since SULC
first announced it last month. Arndt
publicly condemned USyd last week for
“[failing] to provide a venue” for the talk after the request processing took “over 10 days” (a
University spokesperson told Honi
that the wait time was actually six days, which is “consistent with standard practice”).
Further controversy surrounded platforming Arndt at the
University. In a press release, the
University justified hosting her as an
opportunity for ideas to be “freely discussed, including those that some may view as controversial”.
“Giving Bettina Arndt a platform on this issue has the
potential to cause a great deal of
harm to students and survivors of sexual
assault, who are having their experiences questioned by her tour,” Syed and Ward argued.
Signs at the front of the event room
During her 45 minute speech, Arndt posited that universities
should not interfere with
allegations, and women should be held more accountable for sexual assault crimes.
She maintained that “risks of being
raped on campus are very low”, going so far as to note that universities were “100 times safer”
for young women than “Indigenous
communities and rough neighbourhoods.” She was unclear about what she constituted sexual assault to mean,
and plugged her YouTube channel
multiple times throughout the night.
The 2017 Australian Human Rights Commission ‘Change the
Course’ Report—which Arndt actively
critiqued in her talk tonight—found that
one in five students were sexually harassed in a university setting, with 14% of incidents taking place on
university grounds.

exposes Trans strategy to destroy academics who disagree with them
The transgender strategy to destroy academics who disagree
with them was just exposed
Sep 8, 2018
By Jonathon Van Maren
In the United States, Dr. Lisa Littman of Brown University
just got an up-close look at what
the trans mob looks like when your research conflicts with their ideology—her
peer-reviewed paper was pulled by
the gutless bureaucrats at Brown who didn’t want to look un-woke. In the UK, a biological male (or
transgender female) is the head of the
mob—a lecturer at Goldsmiths University of London named Natacha Kennedy. From The Times:
A transgender lecturer orchestrated a smear campaign against
academics across the UK in which
universities were described as dangerous and accused of “hate crime” if they
refused to accept activists’ views
that biological males can be women, it can be revealed.
Natacha Kennedy, a researcher at Goldsmiths University of
London who is also understood to
work there under the name Mark Hellen, faces accusations of a “ludicrous” assault
on academic freedom after she
invited thousands of members of a closed Facebook group to draw up and circulate a list shaming academics who
disagreed with campaigners’ theories
on gender.
I can’t find any explanation for how a single person claiming
to be a woman can also be working
for the same institution as a male, under an entirely different name. No
explanation is offered anywhere, and it is hard not to note the similarity of
this alter-ego to schizophrenia.
More:
The online forum, seen by The Times, also revealed that
members plotted to accuse
non-compliant professors of hate crime to try to have them ousted from their jobs.
Reading, Sussex, Bristol, Warwick
and Oxford universities were among those deemed to have “unsafe” departments because they employed
academics who had publicly disputed
the belief that “transwomen are women” or questioned the potential impact of proposed changes to gender
laws on women and children.
Ms Kennedy said that the list was necessary so students could
avoid accepting a place on a
“dangerous” course. Aimee Challenor, the former Green Party candidate who used her
father as her election agent even
though he was facing charges of raping and torturing a ten-year-old girl, for which he was later jailed,
was among those who responded to Ms
Kennedy’s post of August 14 to the Trans Rights UK Facebook group, with suggestions of who to blacklist.
All the named academics were
women.
Think about that for just a moment: The academics being
targeted by the trans activists were
all women—and mostly feminists. What the
trans activists are demanding is nothing short of the destruction of the feminine. They want to force
academics to agree with their view
that the category of female is an inherently subjective one that anyone can gain access to, which is
why they claim it is now entirely
possible for girls to have penises. Many of the feminists (who were the radicals of their day) are in
shock by this bizarre turn of
events:
Members of the group claimed that the philosophy department
of the University of Sussex was
“clearly an unsafe environment” because of the presence of Kathleen Stock, a
professor who has argued against
redefining the category of woman and lesbian to include men. “File a hate crime report against her, and
then the chairman and vice-chair,”
advised one. “Drag them over the f***ing coals.”
Rosa Freedman, an expert in human rights law at the
University of Reading, had also
upset activists by saying that biological males should not have access to a women’s
refuge. One activist said she tried
to lodge a complaint but was told that Professor Freedman had a right to free speech. “I’m replying a
little more strongly and using the
words ‘hate speech’ a few times,” she told the group. Another activist suggested: “Use the words . .
. ‘So Reading University supports
staff who use hate speech against students?’”
Note here that the phrase “hate speech” has become a nearly-meaningless term used as a
cudgel by trans activists to smash
people about the head until they are willing to croak out sentences they do not believe, like “Men can get
pregnant!” Freedom of speech is a
concept that trans activists view as a threat to their ideological agenda, and thus something that they
would like to see suppressed. As
tempting as it is to laugh at how ridiculous their claims are, their agenda has extraordinarily dangerous
consequences for the rest of us.
Professor Freedman told The Times: “We are talking about
the aggressive trolling of women who
are experts. I have received penis
pictures telling me to ‘suck my girl cock’. This is straight-up, aggressive, anti-woman misogyny. In no
way have I made the space unsafe. I
find it deeply distressing that an academic would set out to smear my name and impugn my
reputation, simply because I put forward a perspective, based on robust and
specific evidence, with which they
disagree. That is not academia. That is silencing people.
“The idea that writing about women’s rights automatically
becomes a hate crime in some
people’s eyes is ludicrous. All it has done has made me more determined to write about
this, in a respectful way that
allows other perspectives to come through, and not just the views of those who shout the loudest.”
Professor Stock said: “What would make a philosophy
department unsafe is if its
academics weren’t allowed to challenge currently popular beliefs or ideologies for fear of
offending. Deliberately plotting to
have my department lose students, or to have me dismissed, through covert means, is surprising behaviour
from a fellow academic.” Both
professors praised the support that they had received from their universities…
Professor Stock said: “It is head-scratchingly bizarre how so
many public organisations, many of
them ostensibly progressive, have
capitulated to passive-aggressive, emotionally blackmailing, and sometimes even outright threatening
behaviour from trans activists,
often online.”
One member of the Facebook group, Sahra Rae Taylor, stood by
her contribution to the list. She
said: “That way we can advise people
applying that ‘if you want to study law, then don’t go to these places’. Which would allow them at
least to avoid being taught (and
marked, and under the influence in some way) by a transphobic douchebag.”
Ms Kennedy, who describes herself on Facebook as a “stroppy,
bolshie transgirl with attitude who
hates the Tories with a passion”, refused to comment. She represented Goldsmiths
during trans awareness week in
February. It confirmed that she was an employee but would not explain which department she worked in or why
she appeared to be listed twice in
the staff directory: once as Mark Hellen, in the department of educational studies, and secondly as
Natacha Kennedy, who is named in
equality and diversity reports. Both profiles appear to be active.
It also remained unclear why an academic paper on Ms
Kennedy’s specialist subject of
transgenderism in children, published by the Graduate Journal of Social Sciences in
2010, cited two co-authors: Natacha
Kennedy and Mark Hellen. Neither Ms Kennedy nor Goldsmiths would clarify whether the paper was by
two individuals or the same person.
A spokesman said: “Goldsmiths prides itself on its inclusive community and is committed to the
values of freedom of speech within
the law.”
Try to work that one out for a moment: An academic paper on transgenderism in children supposedly
has two authors, one male and one
female, but both the male and the female name are used to refer to a single trans activist who spends
much of his time attempting to
corral a large mob for the purposes of persecuting those academics who do not agree with him and will not
call him a woman. I’ve read a lot of
insane things in my research on the trans movement, but a university permitting a single person
to list himself as two people, one
of each gender, as co-authors on a paper—that’s something else. There really is no floor to this
madness.
I’m impressed that The Times was willing to so thoroughly
expose the fact that there is a
handful of trans activists working to enforce their agenda on the entirety of
academia. They are not working within
academia—they are infiltrating it as a hostile force with the intent of subjugating it to their will.
Unless they are stopped, they will
succeed. Considering the number of spines present at the average university administration meeting, I’m
not particularly optimistic.
