We have been told for the past decade that college culture IS rape culture. They bring up statistics such as 1 in 5 women on college campuses suffer a sexual assault.
That’s insane.
So, please tell me how offering “gender inclusive” housing on campus will help that?
It wouldn’t right?
So, let’s be clear, these Catholic colleges are choosing virtue signaling over the safety of women. Please make that known.
Catholic News Agency:
Sacred Heart University, Saint Mary’s College of California, and Fairfield University are three universities providing a “gender-inclusive” roommate option this school year, which means sharing a dorm room with someone of the opposite sex.
Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, offers a gender-inclusive housing option that consists of “two or more students [who] mutually agree to live in a gender-inclusive, multiple-occupancy bedroom, suite, or apartment.”
Any student can opt for being matched with roommates of the opposite sex and the college doesn’t notify parents when students do so. The policy says that it’s “expected and encouraged” that students notify their families about their housing assignment…
Just less than a 15-minute drive away from Sacred Heart, Fairfield University also offers “gender-inclusive” housing with much of the same parameters.
The Jesuit university cites Title IX — a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination that has been reinterpreted under the Biden administration to include “sexual orientation or gender identity” — as the reason for the policy.
The university admits that Title IX allows universities to separate men and women in housing. However, the university claims that “a school must allow transgender students to access housing consistent with their gender identity.”
However, the policy isn’t just limited to students who identify as transgender. Any undergraduate student who has “an understanding of gender identity and gender expression” and wishes to live in “gender-inclusive housing” can participate…
(Patrick Reilly, the President of the Cardinal Newman Society,) said that using Title IX as an excuse for gender-inclusive housing is “a shameful deception that puts students in serious physical and moral danger and exposes Fairfield’s Catholic identity as fraudulent.”
This is not a loving response to a changing world, as the Jesuits would have you believe. This is a deliberate undermining of Catholic teaching using “love” and “tolerance” as a disguise. This puts women in danger. And they’re cool with that.
I used to wonder why people like this stayed in the Church, since they disagreed with so much of what the Church teaches. It’s not because they love it so and just can’t leave.
No, they’re staying because their mission is to hollow out the Church so that it stands for nothing. Their cause is chaos. These people are at war with the Church.
Make no mistake, they’re winning. Pray. And please don’t send money to schools like these.

Why can’t they just require you to be Catholic to attend?

As I see it, if you agree to the room assignment, it is your choice. Make bad decisions, you get bad ( potentially) outcomes. Life is one damned cruel teacher! It often lets us totally screw up our lives. You can’t cure stupid!
Having said that, a young lady ( presuming the rapes all occur with feminine type people) with good sound upbringing most likely will say heck no to a dude as a roommate, whatever he thinks he is!
Not always easy or clear cut as to fault for bad things happening.
That all being said, it is a stupid decision for the school to make!

Notice the trends, the only area the church is seeing success is in catholic college admissions. The church is now in sales the bourgeoisie. It’s a new way of being church

Good insight, Ryan.

Ugh. One of my friend’s daughters had this problem. She put that she would prefer a female, straight room mate and that she was straight herself.
The university housed her with a lesbian that shared an adjoining suite (bathroom between bedrooms) with her girlfriend. The university housed her there by mistake as the lesbian didn’t check that she was lesbian. A quick search of her facebook showed that she was in a relationship with another woman.
Short story: dad and daughter went to bat with the housing committee. They claimed they couldn’t be bothered to vet the surveys as they had so many students to house in so little time. Really? They had acceptances streaming in over the course of a few months and couldn’t be bothered to do a cursory facebook check on them? HR does when you apply for a job…
They were able to rehouse her with another girl she is friends with, thank GOD. This should never have happened. I can’t begin to describe the daughter’s distress as she had to think about what it would mean to change in front of a person who would potentially be sexually attracted to you. NO safety in her most private space.
Seriously. Housing can’t hire enough people to do it’s job? Quality control… you can either do your work up front or have to scramble later. Cursory social media check, confirm survey results or check back in with student… then, sort accordingly.

Oh yeah, and I can’t imagine the amount of drama and tension as the couple had to navigate practically living together (or manipulating the straight girls into staying together so they could have a cozy love nest). It just sounds like a hostile mess all around. NOT what I would want for my daughter.
I had enough trouble living with another straight female who’s boyfriend hit on me when she was passed out after a party!!! EW!
