Men's Rights Activists Use Title IX to Claim Discrimination | NBC Left Field
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2018
- In the last year, the Department of Education has opened several investigations into American universities after complaints that those universities are systematically discriminating against male students. Some of those complaints were filed by Kursat Pekgoz, a doctoral student in English literature at the University of Southern California. Pekgoz, a men’s rights activist who has used federal complaints to target women-only scholarships and programs, is now trying to start a national movement to end what he sees as discrimination against men.

So in other words, its perfectly fine to discriminate against men, but never against women. Ok, NBC. Got it.
David It's not ok to discriminate against ANYONE.
More diverse? If it’s majority women, how is that increased diversity?
"Diversity" is a Newspeak term and means "No white men".
One simply has to read Title IX and it's plain; "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." You see, when rules put in place for WOMEN are suddenly being applied to ALL people. See, THAT is when we have a problem, isn't it.
A revision of course that would actually reflect reality: No WOMAN in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance
"Is using Title IX in ways it was never meant for" WTF DO YOU MEAN THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS MEANT FOR.
Partisan coverage from NBC, which isn't surprising in the least. Katie forgot to mention that the Department of Education found Kursat’s allegations against the female stalker to be "in good faith" and "objectively reasonable" in a resolution letter. The woman had a sexual dream about him before breaking up with her long-term partner, and she perjured herself in a civil trial. Also, the woman accused Kursat of sexual harassment because, in her own words, "he was manipulating my emotions and lying to me by telling me that he was not attracted to me." He was literally accused of harassment for rejecting her advances and was "sanctioned" with one-time counseling to remedy for the "harassment." A total of 14 judges from the Superior Court have condemned the University's unfairness towards male students in Title IX discipline. And last but not least, two radical feminist ideologues (Andrea Pino and Annie Clarke) filed THOUSANDS of complaints, against institutions they are completely unaffiliated with, during the Obama administration. Sadly, you can't really trust a radical feminist journalist to convey the facts in a neutral fashion. It really sucks that Katie's political partisanship won out in the end. She may be a journalist, but she is an imperfect one.
This isn't partisan. She gave both sides equal time and gave no narrative, other than the narrative of what the people she was interviewing believed.
MRAs have become just as toxic as feminists. They see conspiracies every-fucking-where.
Nice job justifying a stalker's actions, btw.
@@Mechaghostman2
Yes, it is clear bias.
-She provides the meaning of Title IX at 1:43. Then at 2:40 she explicitly states Title IX is only supposed to protect women.
-She makes this seem like all this is because of one angry male student that sexually harassed a woman, without even looking into the reality of the accusation.
-She talks about how women being underrepresented in computer and engineering related fields is bad while defending policies that help maintain men being underrepresented in dozens of other fields at all levels.
-She needs "context" and goes to the National *WOMEN'S* Law Center. She gets "context" about discrimination against men from a woman that is unable to accept the concept of discrimination against men.
No one is talking about conspiracies except YOU. Nice little ad hominem and straw man fallacy all rolled into one.
4:05 This woman states that women of color, especially Black women, are underrepresented in college..... According to the US government Black women are the segment of the population MOST likely to have a college degree. If anything, they are OVER represented.
@@Mechaghostman2 You're going to have to stipulate what "conspiracies" MRAs are seeing and prove those positions wrong.
@@Jonathan-Pekgoz love your work and hope you continue with little obstacles
5:00 "Why is your business to file Title IX complaints against [schools you don't attend]?"
Because I pay federal and state taxes that fund gender and racial discrimination at these schools. That discrimination is illegal and immoral and it needs to stop!
If men are privileged, why are they the minority of university students AND have less scholarships and programs? In what society is the privileged and advantaged class not only less likely to be educated, but given less help and opportunity to be so? it makes no sense to apply stats from decades ago to students now
someone needs to be taken to the ministry of love to freshen up on their double think skills. How much is 2 + 2 Winston?
It’s very sexist to say that one gender is less intelligent than another. You don’t gyro dismiss a systemic and persuasive problematic social trend.
Regressive Agenda--Disregard linear time
@bongo155
*"Because teenage boys are idiots."*
Because girls start puberty before boys, girls get a headstart. After about the age of 16, on the whole, males are more intelligent than females. So if the boys, who are smarter than the girls, are "idiots", I wonder what that makes the girls....
"...found a way to use Title IX in ways it was never intended to be used -- to argue against the legitimacy of women-only programs." Did I really just hear what I just heard?
Soooooooooooooooooooo............ am I to believe that the original intent of Title IX was to only "argue against the legitimacy of MEN-only programs"? Only? Now we're shocked that a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex would be used for both women AND men who are suffering discrimination?
Wow. Just... f-ing WOW.
"Why is it your business?" She asks him, as if anyone needs an reason to call out discrimination. Can you imagine her asking the same question to a white person defending the rights of non-white Americans?
I wanted some context so i went to the national women's law center ... ?
It's easy to detect the gynocentric bias in this piece. They even come out and claim that "This is not what Title IX was meant to do." LOL! This is exactly what it was meant to do. BTW, didn't hear these feminists complaining about the 700+ all male sports teams that got disbanded by Title IX. No, the good news here is that they are now arguing about it. Yes, they are arguing by using a stacked deck but they are arguing all the same. They even said that prior to this the complaints for men were simply denied and ignored. But now they are no longer silent and that is an important step. Next step is not far off and that will be them losing and losing big. Way to go Kursat! You are winning and real equality is winning in the process.
Well this reporting did not have a bias AT ALL 😂
Women today can graduate with PhD’s writing their THESIS on sexual harassment, in the Physics department (this happened at Cornell). So it’s questionable if affirmative action programs for women have contributed to any progress in society. Kursat’s work is excellent. I will also be following Kursat’s lead and filing complaints.
@@Jonathan-Pekgoz glad to know that you also watch avi
This "reporter" is the epitome of a hit piece journalist. She completely misses what Title IX was for and how it is working now.
when asked if men being under represented on campuses is a concern she replies with its a good thing campuses are becoming more diverse, and mentions a global economy and to learn from people of different walks of life.... ok, say that to your under represented black and latino populations. double standard?
Title IX was never meant to help men. It was NEVER intended to be used to stop discrimination against men. In fact it's purpose was really to _allow_ and encourage discrimination against men under the guise of 'equality'.
The obvious gender bias of this reporter is astounding. Fancy asking a women's organisation on what they think about cases of discrimination against men! Utterly ludicrous gynocentrism.
Complaints of discrimination against men should be dismissed outright apparently. Yeah. That's systemic bias.
Jesus Christ, will women never stop whining?
This bs about women being under represented in area like IT shows choice more than bias as the report itself states women out number men in engineering and more than 53% in phd's. This reporter is bias as she tries to discredit him but does not really investgate very deeply his allegations .
2:47
"...to argue against the legitimacy of women only programs."
Flip this around and women would use Title IX to dismantle men only groups, not just advocate for their own.
Hey, NWLC, why do you hate men and boys?
@@XD-uv9wx You sound like a misandrist.
Holy shit. They really cut this up to make him seem like a bad person.
What’s wrong with re-evaluating policies.
The cheek of men using title ix. Didn't someone tell them it is only supposed to help feminists?
Very interesting. Boys are indeed disadvantaged from the beginning; boys earn lower grades for the same work and receive lower grades' in all subjects at all ages. Men are less likely to attend university, more likely to be unemployed, more likely to be homeless, and more likely to be in prison
Also, IMO Adaku Oyenka-Crawford completely misses the point and seems to be making it all about her. It’s like she’s not even listening to a lived experience of people who aren’t like her.
“It’s important to remember where we came from so we don’t go back”
But why would recognize the situation of TODAY make that happen? Why would recognize the gender gap in education affecting boys harm girls? In what way does this hurt women? Katie asks Kursat by if he sees it as a zero sum game, but it sorta seems like that’s exactly what Adaku is implying.
“Does it concern you that men are a minority”
“I think it’s good to be diverse….”
Ok, so why does that mean men should be a minority? Why is that equal? Doesn’t equal mean equal? I know feminists might say “no, because of historical context”, but students today weren’t alive in the 40s or 60s, there are in school TODAY, and today, it’s male students who are behind.
Feminists will, in response, generally imply that it's because boys are defective in some way and that it is entirely their own fault. This is old "man-up" garbage that women are never accused of when they are complaining about alleged systemic discrimination
2:44 "Found a way to use Title IX in ways it was never intended to be used"
Wrong!
The language of Title IX is very specifically written to prevent precisely this kind of gender discrimination.
*From Title IX*
"No person in the United States shall,
*_on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation_*
in, be denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to discrimination
under any education program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
even the title reeks of a bias!
There might be a time...'but we're not there yet'...said by every feminist ever. We still have such a long way to go...well, normies can't see that. Maybe she'd like to explain what the destination is? Oh, socialism! I got it....
Just wondering if you could be any more biased? Nope don't think so.
women for women if good, men for men is good. period
The 1950s inequality issue with few women in colleges is OVER and not, today in modern times it is men who are on the losing end across all of education.
The 50s 'inequality' was mainly due to all the men that fought WW2 coming home, and getting GI Bill benefits, which allowed them to go to college...women weren't given that because the didn't FIGHT in the war. Look at 1943. Half of the bachelors' degrees were granted to women. Of course, millions of men were over fighting a war...This chick is cherry picking statistics. There was a dip in 1950 which soon was recovered and has not ceased increasing to this day.
And there was also a pretty good surge of female degrees in the 60s, 70s. Again, men were off fighting Vietnam. TLDR: It was never as bad as they claim even back in the bad old days. In 1930, 40% of bachelors' degrees went to women. The whole women had it so bad in years past, many times, doesn't hold up to even a little scrutiny.
The sword of the law is double edged. Wonder what else women have done legally that men can do....
And they wonder why some men seem to go crazy and act out.
It is discrimination! Fact!
I would hate to get a leg up, just because I'm a woman.
If equality, and not subgugation is the purpose of title IX then everyone's rights have to be protected, even straight white males.
Also, leading researchers agree that most of what is still being called the wage gap is due to women not being dumb when taking jobs and over working and that it is also due to there not being adequate maternity programs.
Why is there evil music whenever he is about to make a point? He makes some valid points. Also in certain parts you guys should have let him finish speaking before you muted his voice. Affirmative action only aids in discrimination, idiots.
Yep he is a hero and by the way the national coalition for men are absolutely incredibly gifted modern day super heroes they are incredibly fair
His hair style patterned after the guy who does the alien thing!
Wasn’t it feminists who wanted title 9 originally? And now you are butt hurt cause title 9 is want equality really looks like.
Here let's clear up this mess...at the National Women's Law Center. If that isn't confirmation bias at it's finest, Idk what is 😂😂
Fixed: "I needed context from my spiritual guide so I wouldn't veer to be guilty of a thoughtcrime: that men are also victims are discrimination even though intersectional dogma claims that men can't be discriminated against because of a purported position of power."
Sorry, ladies. You invented Title IX to stop discrimination in any form. That's all that men are now doing. What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose! I think they call that poetic justice!
More misandry and man bashing
Why is gender or race even a parameter for fields of study or jobs? Saying that there need to be more men, more black men, in education has no impact on the success of students. What we should be saying is that we need more engineers, more doctors, more scientists. It doesn't matter what the race or gender is. Give scholarships for the fields we need people in instead of trying to force diversity. Maybe in social fields diversity is important, but STEM fields do not need diversity for the simple fact that they are supposed to be based on non-bias empirical data.
Yes. Let’s apply the “let the best man/person win” here instead of supporting women who aren’t cut out for science. Arguing science with women is incredibly frustrating as they aren’t capable of the same degree of reasoning skills.
@@XD-uv9wx Exactly, female stem graduates are favored in hiring right out of school and tend to earn more than their male counterparts. This is not equal at all and must be due to discrimination as all wage gaps are (allegedly!)
If you leave men and women to make their own choices on careers they will NOT pick the same fields, it is simple biological nature, forcing women into STEM or Technical fields does not work. In GENERAL women do not want to invent, or do the dirty hard jobs in society, it is natural. These Femsinist are screwing up everything.
Make things fair.
Making it lean either towards or against men or women isn’t fair.
Giving women WAY more scholarships isn’t fair. Let them choose their career paths.
If they choose lower-paying jobs, don’t shame them.
I've been being laughed at, scorned, and outcast, having threats of police called to arrest me if I don't "shut up" and stop "harassing people with my opinions" just for pointing out the obvious for YEARS, and no one has given a shit, but one foreign guy files a complaint and its a huge news story, lol. Incredible. I've lost girlfriends, friends, been kicked out of family holiday dinners...I used to get detention and thrown in in house back in high school for calling females out on bad behavior, on and on and on...and FINALLY people are coming around after like 20 years now.
This is why you're alone.
You sound like an asshole who deserved everything you got and more.
No he sounds like someone who has morals and wants fair treatment
It's not a "huge news story" because I am "one foreign guy." These complaints took years of research, and I have been called things like "white male terrorist" and "white male whose sense of entitlement cannot be confined by geography" and "angry white male" for filing these complaints.
Someone doesn’t know how to read. And you call yourself a reporter. For shame.
Back before there were all these initiatives to get more women into STEM, twice as many women were taking Engineering than today. It's called the gender paradox, the more money goes into gender balancing, the opposite the effect. Simply put, the wealthier the society, the more affordable the balancing initiatives. However, the wealthier the society, the more people can take their first choices for careers. The paradox(and reduced female participation in STEM) is because Engineering is the second choice for young women. They don't take STEM if they don't have to, and they don't have to.
There is another reason more men were getting PhD's in the 1960's that pushed Title 9. In normal times the gender participation ratios were more balanced, after wars more men would be represented because of the G.I. bill.
Good! Keep up the work!
thumbs down for hypocritical femJW propaganda
Um.... nooooooooo, discrimination against men on college campuses has been SYSTEMIC since the 80's. The /system/ has been set up to /discriminate/ against men since the inception of title IX
Giving privileges to women doesnt equal out the other privileges men have. It just puts us all further apart.
Well this video *started* off in a good manner... only for the blatant partisanship and narrative spinning to become completely obvious.
Not really. She started biasing her report almost from the start. Listen again, you can pick it out after a few listens.
Women's College Basketball is a clear violation of Title IX. All women's sports are a violation of Title IX.
*From Title IX*
"No person in the United States shall,
*_on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation_*
in, be denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to discrimination
under any education program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
funny how they yell at the fact that it would be taking women’s places to give to men (oh the horror) while advocating for men’s positions to be given to women (that’s totally fine and dandy). Is taking someone’s place to give it to someone else good or bad?
Very intriguing
I dare say that the common the common has much in relation to every other person therefore mindset based on race or gender should not be considered. Background and area should definitely be considered because that affects the person and should determine stuff like education
Afirmitive actions has created a situation that allows people who deserve a spot in college to not be accepted while those who havent put the efforts in or jjust are not inteligent enough to get in college to be allowed in, in my opinion ,,keep fighting for men bro
People need to call up/E-Mail/ Fax and maybe protesti in person NBC and the NBC Left Field show about the Bias of this Report. The Press needs to be fair to both Sides.. They did admit that Woman receive the most Degrees today.
Epic
EPIC LIBTARD DESTROYED
Trump 2020. His vision is perfect.
Instead of complaining about existing groups why don’t they just make their own group of “men only” and see how well they do
Gosh, isn't that what we said when women started complaining?
Kursat Pekgoz probably just redundant
Matthew Chapman lol how long ago did women start complaining and getting programs that promote equity before men felt “cheated”
If we are to maximize equality we must be willing to hear all groups' complaints. They perceive a grievance, therefore they are right to complain. If this grievance is serious enough, such as the inability to pursue self-fulfillment, then their complaint is justified. It doesn't matter *when* it occurs, since the power dynamics of the situation would only make the situation worse in the future if it's allowed to go on it needs to be stopped as quickly as possible. @@Kasowsk2012
Good grief, Jazmin, how dense are you? All male colleges, remember what happened to them? Any all-male club/organization/whatever has had women complaining of being excluded. So times have changed, the old ways are disappearing. All-male spaces are on their way out.
So you then say "why don't they just make their own"?
THAT'S WHERE WE ONCE WERE YOU DUNCE.
Soy boy. He needs to get a life.
