An Interview with Pardes Seleh, B.S.: Staff Writer, Daily Wire; Former Editor-in-Chief, The Bruin Standard; Former California Campus Correspondent, Campus Reform (Part Six)^{[1],[2],[3],[4]}

1. Jacobsen: Americans work within – for the most part – a two-party system with the Democrats and the Republicans. Even so, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party emerged more in the recent election. Still, they lost by a vast margin. What seems to be the appeal to the super-minority of Americans with the Green Party (Jill Stein) and the Libertarian Party (Gary Johnson) at the time?

Seleh: That they aren’t Republicans or Democrats.

Jacobsen: [Laughing].

Seleh: Otherwise, neither party is popular on their own. Nobody cares about the Green Party platform. People think the libertarians are crazy. So, it was about not having these, what are called, establishment politicians. These establishment politicians who have been leading the country for so long and have been leading with their only their own agendas.

2. Jacobsen: What seems like the appeal of Senator Sanders as a candidate to young people?

Seleh: I think he is very sincere as a person, genuine, and people were looking for that. People thought the same with Trump, also, which is why I think Donald Trump is similar to Sanders. In that, he attracted younger voters.

I think also that he is very idealistic and that tends to attract younger voters. The more idealistic candidate will do that, especially those who present a new radical and exciting way of thinking. So, in spite of his age, his way of thinking appeals to younger people in that way: his mindset.

3. Jacobsen: What defines sex and gender?

Sex is biological and gender is social. My college professors at UCLA often rationalized that because gender is a social construct, then it can be considered a spectrum and not a dichotomy. I think this is absurd, because the majority of Americans still see gender as a dichotomy, regardless of what the social justice community would like to believe of social norms.

4. Jacobsen: How prevalent is the sexual assault on American campuses? What seems like the lawful manner to deal with these cases and claims – in social media, the news cycle, the university system, or the court system, or some combination of the aforementioned possibilities?

Seleh: I think it really depends on what your definition of sexual assault is. How prevalent is it on college campuses? There is definitely sexual assault happening. It is usually happening to women because women tend to be more submissive in personality, I guess.

But I think we’ve created a culture where anything can be considered sexual assault. Where something that is sexy or cool for a man to do, it can now easily be misread as sexual assault. I think it is definitely being abused by college campuses. It is being abused by a lot of women who are taking advantage of it.

It is the DACA thing I talked about before. You can’t blame women for taking advantage of these laws because the system is allowing them to take advantage in the moment. If you’re a woman and wants to take advantage of a man who broke your heart or whatever, and the system allows you to do it really easily, I am not saying that you should. But, why wouldn’t you do it?

If you really, really hate somebody, I am not saying women aren’t to blame, but the system is being promoted on college campuses. It makes it so that it is really easy for a man to be accused of sexual assault.

It ruins everything. It ruins relationships for everybody. It ruins sex for everybody. Men are always walking on eggshells. They can’t do anything because it will be considered sexual assault. They will gravitate towards the most willing person.

They won’t even try to form relationships or pursue women too much because anything they do that is a little pushy is sexual assault. So, they will gravitate towards the most willing person. It changes a lot of things.

I watch the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. I admit it. It is a guilty pleasure:

Jacobsen: [Laughing].

Seleh: There is this girl who is a bubbly drama queen. It is part of her character. The first week of this one season. She and this guy hit it off really quickly. They are immediately getting in the hot tub together. It is all filmed.

They are visibly into each other. Something happened. The next day, the woman, from what I understand, mentioned something about being too drunk the night before. That she regretted sleeping with him.

It is very obvious that he didn’t do anything to her. Any aggression was welcome. You can tell that she wanted it. It was part of the whole sexiness of what was happening. It was like a dance. They were both coming on to each other. She was wanting it.

Then the next day she regretted it. She mentioned it to someone who was there. Then without her knowing, the producer freaked out and said, “Oh! This is sexual assault.” They shut down the season. They basically said as the story came out, that the show was shut down because of sexual assault.

Neither of them was at fault. The woman was not implying that he sexually assaulted her. She was telling her feelings. Her feelings were that she regretted that happening. She was annoyed at him, but then the producers took it all the way to be sexual assault, so let’s shut this down.

Now, women are too afraid to talk about their encounters with men because it is interpreted as sexual assault. It drives everyone further apart. It makes relationships more difficult. People run away from any sign of anything being serious.

It ruins everything. You can tell both characters that it is not what they wanted. Both of their reputations were ruined. That was the sexual assault guy and that was the whiny baby lady. It is natural for a woman to be emotional for her sexual partner.

She will talk about it. She should be able to do that without everything being sexual assault. As with college campuses freaking out about it, they try to put a guy behind bars. There are so many cases of that. Of course, the man becomes a victim.

There was a case like this. Two college students were flirting and having sex. It is always the woman showing it more because you can tell men are timider now. The girl is all over him. They leave the party and go to her place. They have sex.

The next day, he goes home feeling great. Only that night, when he goes home, then he finds out there is this commotion. The police come over and arrest him. He gets arrested for sexual assault. It turns out that the girl talked to her friend.

She decided that she regretted this. She didn’t want to say that she wanted it, “No, I didn’t want it, actually.” So, this guy had his life almost ruined. If not for videos that surfaced that showed clearly that the girl was trying to get the guy to come home with him, he is still in trouble with the school.

The criminal charges against the city were dropped. The judge was like, “There’s no way I’m charging this guy when the videos clearly show the girl was trying to get the guy to come home with her.”

But the school is still not dropping the charges, for whatever reason. They think that because the case was brought up then he should be suspended at the very least. Anyway, those are all of the stories.

The overhype of sexual assault on campuses and the idea of rape culture ruins relationships. It fogs things up when sexual assault is actually happening, when someone is actually doing something sexual against their will.

That goes undetected because we are so distracted by all of this nonsense that it doesn’t matter.

5. Jacobsen: You worked as the Editor-in-Chief for The Bruin Standard, too.^[1],[2],[3] What tasks and responsibilities came with this position?

Seleh: I designed and managed our website while assisting my co-editor with recruiting and overseeing our writers, enlisting donors, and promoting our brand on the UCLA campus.

6. Jacobsen: Your most productive period comes from being a staff writer for the Daily Wire with the first pieces on September 22, 2015.^[5],[6] In short, you covered a substantial number of prominent topics relevant to America and, especially, to campus culture. You published in in the latter portion of 2015.^{[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18],[19],[20],[21],[22],[23],[24],[25],[26],[27],[28],[29],[30],[31],[32],[33],[34],[35],[36],[37],[38],[39],[40]} From a highly informed vantage, what appear to be the most controversial topics on campus and in the US at the moment?

Seleh: Free speech is definitely a hot topic right now, especially with our president-elect and his frequent proposals regarding censorship, which, ironically, he tends to use free social media platforms to convey; as well as the absurd left-wing censorship occurring on college campuses daily, making many Americans who value the First Amendment angry enough to vote for the president-elect. The “free-speech” war intensifies and the only way to break the cycle is actually protect the First Amendment and stop politically motivated censorship.

7. Jacobsen: What seems like the greatest barriers – from both political parties and outside of politics – to the needed conversations on campus and in American politics to come to reasonable conclusions, consensuses, or agreements to ‘move forward’ in the US?

Seleh: I’d say collectivism in both parties drives some of the greatest obstacles to moving forward in this country. When you trap yourself and others into single-strain-ideology boxes of people who must unanimously follow a single doctrine just because you are all part of the same political party or identity, you end up isolating yourself from everybody else in the country and limit growth within your own group. The lack of emphasis placed on individualism and intellectual diversity, probably motivated by fear, drives unwillingness for inter-partisan communication and further agreements.
