\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, try this from TheCollegeFix.com<\/a>: “Straight Women Are Marginalizing Other Victims of Sexual Assault at the University of Oregon.” You know what? I think this is time for a gay community update. Klaus Nomi is going to sing our big tune here, folks. We don\u2019t have this song played often, but it makes an impact when we do. It\u2019s Klaus Nomi and our official Gay Community Update Theme, done with compassion — and, of course, good vibes — as always. (playing of song)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about women, but (song continues) let your mind wander. (song continues) You ever driven a train, Klaus? Ever been a train engineer? (song continues) Just asking. Just curious. (song continues) All right, folks, the news here is from The College Fix. (song continues) Let it keep going. This never ends. “Straight college women who claim they were sexually assaulted are forming their own clique that excludes everyone else.<\/p>\n

<\/a>“That\u2019s according to a Daily Emerald story from the University of Oregon, where last month\u2019s Take Back the Night event featured sexual-violence estimates of non-straight communities that make the unreliable 1-in-5 statistic look quaint.” Anyway, the point is that the lesbian women on campus are upset at the straight women claiming they\u2019re assaulted because that means that the lesbian victims are being marginalized and not really cared about, my friends. <\/p>\n

Straight women screwing it up again. Lesbians are trying to get noticed, and Barbie comes along and hogs all the attention, as usual! (song continues) Let her rip, Klaus! (song continues) Let\u2019s hear it for Klaus Nomi, the late great Klaus Nomi and a cover of the old Lesley Gore hit from the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites<\/a>, You Don\u2019t Own Me. In fact, you know, the Lesley Gore song, You Don\u2019t Own Me, was one of our first official Feminist Update Themes. <\/p>\n

It was superseded by others, but it was in the mix early on. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not making this up. “According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 44% of lesbian women and 61% of bisexual women have been victims of intimate partner violence in the form of rape, physical violence and\/or stalking, compared to 35% of heterosexual women.” You say, “What\u2019s the problem?”<\/p>\n

Well, the problem is that the lesbian and bisexual women claim to be much bigger victims, and nobody talks about what happens to them, because the heterosexual women are hogging all of the limelight. Well, “limelight.” Attention. Whenever a heterosexual woman is abused, raped, assaulted, that gets all the news, and nobody ever hears about what\u2019s happening to the intimate partners of lesbian and bisexual women on campus. It\u2019s a big problem.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

Janet in Corning, New York, thank you for waiting. Your turn, you\u2019re up. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thanks, Rush, it is an absolute honor to speak about you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019ve been listening since \u201988, and I have got dittos from eight Rush Babies for you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re a lifer. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m calling because you referenced that article earlier in the day about the non-straight women feeling like the straight women have cornered the market on college violence earlier.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, I have that story even now still in my formerly nicotine-stained. Let me review this so people know what you\u2019re calling about.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is a from the College Fix, and here\u2019s the headline: “Straight Women Are Marginalizing Other Victims of Sexual Assault at the University of Oregon.” What this story is basically about, is it\u2019s a study that says that lesbians and gay men rape their intimate partners more than straight men do. Now, you might say, “What are you talking about?” Let me tell you what this is. “Straight college women who claim they were sexually assaulted are forming their own clique that excludes everyone else.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s according to a Daily Emerald story from the University of Oregon, where last month\u2019s…” This is weirdly written. Here\u2019s the nut of this: “According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 44% of lesbian women and 61% of bisexual women have been victims of intimate partner violence in the form of rape, physical violence and\/or stalking, compared to 35% of heterosexual women.”<\/p>\n

The rub here is that the gay women are mad that the news of rape on campus is all about hetero. They claim they\u2019re getting raped and assaulted much more often than the heterosexual women are, but the news only reports about the heteros, and the lesbians and the bisexuals are ticked off that their incidents are not being reported. They claim they\u2019re being raped much more often than the heterosexual women are, which, to me, means that lesbians and gay men are remaining more women than straight people are. You\u2019d have to conclude that from reading this story. So that\u2019s what Janet is calling about.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m calling because the story made me think of 30 years ago when I was an innocent freshman in a university. I lived in the all-girls dorm there. And I… As the course of the whole year progressed, I had two non-straight women living above me, and every afternoon after school was over before I went to like dinner, I would hear… Like I said, it was probably once a month at the beginning of the year, and it just progressed as the year went on, it sounded like there were two people wrestling upstairs on the floor.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You would hear screaming.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really! Oh, man. Really? That never happened when I was in school.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: You had lesbians up there wrestling? <\/p>\n

CALLER: (giggling)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh!<\/p>\n

CALLER: All of a sudden it would be… (giggling) You\u2019d hear yelling — we couldn\u2019t hear what they were saying — and then, “Crash!”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, man.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Like literally one had to have been throwing the other one around the room, which is not funny, but —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you ever get any pictures?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no. But what happened was it kept getting worse and worse, and every time we\u2019d go to the RA, it just happened to be she was never in her room so we could never draw attention to it. But what happened was by the end of the spring when we could finally open the doors to our dorm room \u2019cause it was warm enough, my roommate and I decided we were finally gonna lean out and listen and see if we can find out what is going on. So one of the last times before we left for the year, their windows were open, too, up above, and all I can tell you is that the only thing we could make out one yelled to the other, “I saw you looking at him.” So I thought that was a little interesting twist to the whole year. Just so you know, it\u2019s been going around for 30 years, apparently.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. So you\u2019re calling to say even 30 years ago this was true?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I mean, actually it was really… It was kind of shocking to somebody who… You know, like I said, I was an innocent college freshmen, right?<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. We never hear this. Folks, this is true. We never hear about this. Look, I\u2019m not making this up. This story actually is about lesbian and bisexual women mad at heterosexual women, because the lesbians claim that they are victimized by rape and sexual assault much more than heterosexual women are, but it\u2019s never reported. <\/p>\n

Nobody feels sorry for them, because the only thing anybody cares about, apparently — according to the lesbians — is when the heterosexual women are assaulted or raped. That makes news. But what\u2019s happening to the lesbians isn\u2019t making news, and they\u2019re mad about it. That\u2019s what the story is. I\u2019m not making any of this up. Janet in Corning here is calling to say, “Yep,” it was the case when she in school 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s why I say, if the lesbian women are claiming they are victims of rape more than the heterosexual women are, the bisexual women are saying the same thing. (interruption) “Well, what does that mean?” I mean, if they\u2019re bigger victims, more frequent victims of rape, somebody\u2019s perpetrating them. Somebody\u2019s perpetrating the crimes, and they\u2019re just ticked off that nobody is reporting about it what happens to them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
