NOTE on this post’s title “He Fears You -1912”:
“She Fears You” is the name of a mandatory conditioning
session initiated in 2010 which some universities require their male students
to attend. It is “a program at which they will be pressed to acknowledge their
personal complicity in a “rape culture.” “She Fears You” is based on the theory
that men need a “combined cognitive and emotional intervention” in order to
change their “rape-supportive beliefs.”

Education), Sep. 27, 2010]

FULL TEXT: Chicago, Oct. 4. – Minor Cortalyou, a salesman,
appealed to-day to the Court of Domestic Relations for protection from his
wife. In arguing the case Isaac Lipson, his attorney, said:
“No man’s life is safe from an attack by an infuriated woman
since the freeing of so many women accused of having murdered their husbands.”
Cortalyou testified his wife had threatened to kill him and
had driven him from home. He had been arraigned for alleged wife abandonment.
Within the last two years four or more women have been acquitted in Chicago
courts of having either shot or poisoned their husbands, and in other parts of
the country as many more were freed.
“The life of my client is in danger,” Lipson declared. “His
wife’s mind has become inflamed as a result of the wholesale freeing of wives
charged with murdering their husbands.”
