Men's Rights organizations you will want to read the post at the link.
A mandatory lecture given to the students of the Christian conservative Patrick Henry College on Friday offered apologies for rape, domestic violence and child abuse, and blamed American mass incarceration on feminists' insistance on prosecuting sexual violence.
Patrick Henry professor Stephen Baskerville, a so-called "men's rights" advocate, delivered the college's annual "Faith and Reason" lecture, Libby Anne reported at Patheos. Baskerville started off with his thesis that feminists and Islamists are working together to push Christians out of public life, sort of like the alliance between Hitler and Stalin...
...Feminists, he argues, have used the sexual revolution to impose "state repression" and "transformed our government into a matriarchal leviathan" by criminalizing rape, domestic violence and child abuse. Baskerville cites the work of University of Pennsylvania professor Marie Gottschalk to claim that the criminalization of sexual violence has led to the United States' historic levels of mass incarceration. Gottschalk argued that women's groups' working with law and order groups in the 1960s and '70s "contributed to a more punitive climate," not that the criminalization of sexual violence led to mass incarceration. But no matter- in the prosecution of rape and domestic violence, Baskerville sees "our own homegrown version of Stalinism."
