NCFM Advisers Gordon Finley, Dianna Thompson, PR Director Steven Svoboda, and President Harry Crouch in the news about SB 967!

NCFM’s efforts to stop California’s misandric legislative effort Senate Bill 967 have garnered some attention and will hopefully help facilitate our recommendations to Governor Brown not to sign the bill.

In brief, SB 967 requires college students to secure affirmative consent consistently when having sex, gives license to false accusations absent and sanctions for false accusers, denies the accused due process, will cost the state and our colleges hundreds of millions of dollars in law suits, and sets the stage for ruining innocent lives. There is no evidence anywhere to even suggest such legislation will prevent anything other than a fair hearing. There is no legitimate evidence anywhere that there is a sexual assault crisis warranting such intrusive legislative intervention.

The Associated Press in the article, “CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSES YES MEANS YES BILL,” included this,

“Gordon Finley, an adviser to the National Coalition for Men, wrote an editorial asking Brown not to sign the bill. He argued that ‘this campus rape crusade bill’ presumes the guilt of the accused. This is nice for the accusers – both false accusers as well as true accusers – but what about the due process rights of the accused.” The AP article was picked up by other mainstream media sources.

The San Jose Mercury News examination of SB 967, Campus sexual assault: Yes means yes’ bill clears California Legislature, noted that some are uneasy about the legislation, arguing that existing legal definitions of rape should suffice. In response, the article includes the following,

“The new rules will lead to ‘too many punitive situations’ for young men, said a spokesman for the San Diego-based National Coalition for Men.

‘Of course I agree that people should actually consent, but the world doesn’t work that way,’ said J. Steven Svoboda. ‘There’s no way to legislate the ambiguities away.’”

NCFM Adviser Dianna Thompson was quoted extensively in the World Net Daily article “CONSENTING TO SEX COULD REQUIRE A TEXT.”

When interviewed for the article NCFM President Harry Crouch explained that legislation similar to SB 967 was initiated by the Department of Education and the Campus Sexual Assault bill introduced recently by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.

“’There’s no doubt. If there was no federal push from DOE and Sen. McCaskill, there would be no SB 967 in California,’ said Harry Crouch, president of the National Coalition for Men. ‘And now this will become a model for the country. The old adage is, as California goes, so goes the country.’”

Ella Wilcox (1914) said, “To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards of men.” We need to make more noise. Be unafraid to assert our belief that all people should be treated fairly, “all” means everyone. SB 967 is far from that, eons away. Make some noise please. Contact Governor Brown and ask him not to sign SB 967. You can send him an email: https://govnews.ca.gov/gov39mail/mail.php
