Basically weeding someone out for believing "rape myths" when some said "myths" may be plausible alternatives that can actually happen, you are basically weeding out those who may find reasonable doubt. And that is a problem if you want to claim we have a fair and unbiased judicial system. Also, 25,000 accusations does not mean there should be 25,000 guilty cases. Some of these guys didn't do it, and don't deserve to go to jail. Others may have, but our criminal justice system is built on reason…

Scanlan, from Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, said Mr Millar tried to have sex with her before bizarrely dropping her off at the police station.... Dropping her off at the police station was just his way of throwing them off the scent. What sort of rapist drops off the victim at the police station right after the rape? He's an evil genius! /s

If you actually get raped, just report it. If your story adds up, you will be believed. If you claim you were raped but your story doesn't make sense or keeps changing, then people may not believe you, but that's because your story is BS.

I think a lot of females decide being a "strong, independent woman" means shitting on men. So when a girl is having relationship problems, and she goes to her friends for support, these "strong, independent women" tell the girl her BF is a loser and she should shit-can him. This is what happened to me with my first serious girlfriend. She took a lot of horrible advice from her closest friend. I had no idea about half the problems my girlfriend had, she would just go to her friend, and her friend…

Q: We understand that the police deterred you from suing? A: No, they didn't deter me. They asked me if I had said no clearly. And I don't know. I have met with police officers and the investigators. Q: So you've met with investigators already? A: No, I have not. I just wanted to clarify a few things in front of the media first. Yeah, because denouncing a public figure to the media, then cooperating with investigators should be the proper order of things. /s

there is no magical ball that tells us who is truly innocent and who is truly guilty of anything. the legal system just sucks in every accusation at first as if it's true, some people get acquitted, some not. you may be guilty, or you may not.

This reminds me of that college prof quote who said it doesn't matter if an expelled student didn't actually rape someone, the experience will be good for him, cause he can reflect on the fact that he is capable of committing the crime. Same with this article. There is one paragraph that mentions as an aside the fact that he is legally innocent, but the rest of the article is about how he owes the world an apology. The real message is, if you're ever accused of this crime, feminists want you dea…

I wonder how many men are even aware women's clothing doesn't have pockets, much less consciously "lord[ing their] sexism" over women because men's clothing does have pockets. the author himself didn't even realize women's clothes don't have pockets.

Really, your sons don't subscribe to an ideology that presumes they are proto-rapists in waiting? Perhaps good, innocent people don't like being called criminals just because of their sex. Their friend who encouraged his girlfriend to have sex isn't a rapist, either. Your peers can encourage you to do things that you regret, that doesn't mean they forced you to do it, or that you aren't responsible for your own actions.

encouraging someone to do anything isn't forcing them to do it. it could take some encouraging to convince a friend to dive off an outcrop into a deep lake for fun, that doesn't mean you pushed him in there. The same with drinking; "I really didn't want to drink, but my friends talked me into it." Well, they didn't hold you down and force you to drink it, did they? Parents need to teach their children that they are still responsible for doing the things that they choose to do. The guy you fucked…

It is because in court you actually stand a fighting chance. The rules of evidence apply, and your lawyer is a professional who can pick apart a BS claim with ease. Administrative hearings on campus are easily rigged. The rules of evidence don't apply, and the amateurs running the show have been steeped in feminist dogma. If you're accused of a sex crime on campus, your chances of winning are very slim.

Fake victims also want to bypass the legal system because they don't want to get in trouble for lying. The campus disciplinary system is rigged for you to when, and everyone from Title IX coordinators to football coaches are trained that the accused men are guilty, so it works out great if you just want to get back at a guy.

low self esteem tends to cause a vicious circle. you feel shitty about yourself because you're out of shape physically and mentally, but because you feel shitty about yourself, you don't have the energy to fix these problems. on the other hand, if you actually had Dunham's ear and told her she'd be happier if she fixed her problems, she would freak out at you about not being body-positive or whatever they call it.

We moved from a tribal system where everyone in the community took care of kids, to a system where the father worked and the mother stayed at home, to what we have now, where both parents work, and often times the parents aren't even a couple anymore. So, if you have a system where a woman has to have her profession set up before she can even have kids, and that won't happen until she is in her 30s or 40s, yeah, there are going to be some fertility problems.

There is a good argument there, however the response is that as these are school disciplinary actions rather than criminal trials, the department of education can do this. However, there are Supreme Court cases that say public institutions and schools that receive federal funding (which is nearly all of them) need to have minimal levels of due process. How Title IX is currently being abused is below those minimal levels. Unfortunately, you need to have judges buy this argument, and most side wit…

“Jane Doe” then filed a Title IX complaint in June against “John Doe,” saying he had sexually assaulted her in 2013. The University initially told “John Doe” that it planned to pursue the case under the 2015 Student Manual, which had a different definition of consent from the 2013 Student Manual. The suit says that “it was impossible for John Doe to know whether his consensual physical encounters with Jane Doe in 2013 might violate subsequently created stringent mandates in UC’s 2015 Manual.” Co…

To Kim, it seems, “feminism” involves things like not wearing a bra, not shaving your legs, and hating men. To be clear: If those are your things, then great! Ha. The fact that feminists have no problem with hating men might explain why women are rejecting the label.

I'm not talking about rape shield laws, which honestly i mostly don't have a problem with. I believe the judge is referring more to things like "she made this up because he broke it off with her" as being a "rape myth." It isn't a myth, it is a reasonable explanation as to why someone would fabricate a rape accusation. Basically feminists call any reasonable counter to a rape claim a "rape myth" and convince people that they're "victim blaming" if they question any part of a rape accusation. Wel…

oh certainly i agree with you. If everyone had perfect recollection and was perfectly honest, we would have no use of the legal system. And of course the legal system is a relic from a time when forensic evidence by and large did not exist. However I don't think the solution is to demand forensic evidence in every case. There will always be cases where there is no forensic evidence to collect or where the forensic evidence is inconsequential. The only real solution is to have an educated public …

these are good arguments, but ideas on reddit aren't binding precedent in the legal world. like i said above, if there is no forensic evidence when there should be, then that certainly weakens a case. It doesn't stop a jury from being convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that a man is guilty, of course that doesn't mean that they can't be mistaken.

the de facto substitution of a standard of "probably guilty" for "proved guilty beyond reasonable doubt by forensic evidence" Just fyi, you don't need forensic evidence to prove somebody guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury is free to conclude that if there should be some forensic evidence, but there isn't, that makes it less probable that the claim is true, but a lack of forensic evidence doesn't throw out the case entirely. And honestly forensic evidence will probably be inconsequential in…

I don't know, if a girl texts that she wants to have "hot sex" to a guy, it certainly is possible that he may rape her, however I'd say it is more likely that the girl telling the guy she wants to have hot sex with him is a good sign that she wants to have consensual sex with him. That and the fact that she was already an activist, as OP's research has shown, and is lying about it, raises some strong red flags for me.

In a written statement, she slammed the detectives on her case, demanded the police role in sexual assault investigations be “reconsidered and eventually abolished” and said, “My case is not a demonstration of achieving ‘justice’ or that the legal system is working to meet the needs of the sexually assaulted or even prevent future sexual assaults.” Yet another call for mob justice to 'take care of' the accused.

She lays out the rule of thumb that "too drunk to drive is too drunk to consent," as if both parties are in a good position to assess that when they're drunk. Drunk people make poor decisions flat out, of course when they're both drunk the guy is still responsible, while no one questions if she is the actually one who raped him.

I definitely thought that when I read the apology the author gave to her accuser: I feel really horrendous about this, and I just hope that you’re okay. It was never my intention to hurt or take advantage of you, and I just hope that you can understand that one day.

very true. teaching social skills was a huge part of society 50+ years ago. now it's not taught. kids just learn schoolwork and have to figure the rest out on their own. some kids end up having huge problems in their life because of it. others become borderline autistic: they're good at school, but have no idea how to handle people. honestly i think a lot of people today aren't actually autistic, they just were never socialized.

I suppose the worry is that the therapist (or social services or whomever) will come to the conclusion that the accusation was made up. Because if you do that you're not "listening and believing." But yeah. I'm sure there are legitimate claims that sound made up, either because they're outlandish or the accuser seems unstable. There are also false claims that sound legitimate.

As franklindeer has said elsewhere in this post, I'm quite sure it's not legally "coercion" without the use of force or threat of force. Otherwise it is just manipulation, which is not illegal.

That is a pretty broad spectrum of things from lying about how old you are, to pretending to be an astronaut to lying about every important aspect of your life. This reminds me of a case a couple of years ago, where a grad student from a different university accused a professor of rape.

The line of consent is always set at intoxication v. incapacitation. You can be intoxicated and capable of consenting to sex, but you can't consent to sex when incapacitated. A lot of bad, regrettable decisions happen when you're intoxicated, including consenting to sex you wouldn't have if you were sober.

We're not saying she can't work in the same job as him, just that he doesn't want to date her. It is almost the same as arguing you should date a girl you're not attracted to just because her abilities are no different than a girl you actually are attracted to. Then again, like your example, most women aren't attracted to sho…

Yes, that makes perfect sense. And before modern civilization, when we lived in tribes/villages, it probably worked well enough: the women freak out, the men drive the purported offender out of the community, and no one hears from him again. It also makes me wonder if that was why modern civilization had typically segregated the sexes, up until recently. Men and women didn't live and work together unless they were family; hence, opposite sex non-relatives didn't come into much contact with each …

I don't think the fact that no one wants to date the lady who moved to Japan is really "sexism." My understanding is that Japanese women really love western men, and they are probably a lot nicer than western women, anyway. It is equivalent to a man living in a city where there just aren't that many women; he's not going to have an easy time dating. He doesn't call it "sexism," though.

Women inherently think about rape accusations differently than men do. Picture a housewife who thinks there is a rapist in the neighborhood: she will hound her husband to do something about it, in order to keep her family safe. She doesn't really care if the guy is actually a rapist or not, the rumor is enough for her. Now put the same woman in charge of the criminal justice system. "Innocent until proven guilty" goes out the window, because a woman doesn't care if the man is guilty or not, she …

I've yet to hear a feminist admit that false accusations sometimes happen. They are dead set on assuming every accusation is true, out of fear of "not believing victims."

The argument I always make is, there is no way you can say a guy who grew up poor is better off than a girl who grew up in the suburbs or rich. The middle class girl will most likely go to college, get a good job, and marry a guy with a good job. The poor guy will most likely stay poor. The middle class woman will have more support and protection from men and from the government than the poor guy ever will. Yet he is privileged somehow cause of his penis, apparently.

Pleading guilty can be extremely tempting though, considering the offers they make.

also it is misleading that they use the term "unwanted" rather than "non-consensual." Non-consensual sex is always rape. "Unwanted" could include consensual sex, like "I didn't plan on having sex Friday, but I had three mimosas, got horny and slept with Brad." It is pretty common to hear feminists say "unwanted sex" when they talk about rape, it may sound pedantic to point it out, but they are intentionally using expansive terms so they can count more sex as rape and create fear and hype.

My point being is that no student is being discriminated against, as Roe isn't a student. A comparison would be if your work has a policy not to date coworkers. You date a non-coworker, then your work fires you for dating a coworker, because you dated a non-coworker.

Disagree with you here: the legal definition of rape includes sex when a person was incapacited, thus unable to consent to sex.

Not to defend a murderer, but prostitutes do face high rates of sexual violence. A buddy of mine worked as a court translator for a defendant who had raped a prostitute. Apparently rapists think prostitutes are unlikely to report it to the police, as prostitution is illegal and all. Now, perhaps you could reduce the violence against sex workers by legalizing and regulating prostitution, but that is a discussion for another thread.

Yes, the problem of hypergamy. College educated women complain about how there are no "good men" out there.

“No child or youth is a prostitute,” she said. “They are being prostituted, which is exploitation.

Would a judge even take a rape accusation into account with a contract dispute? I mean, I suppose if the other party were actually convicted of rape, sure. But if you wait 10 years then bring up the rape for the first time at the same time you want to break the contract....IDK, seems less likely that you were actually raped.

It isn't even Title IX, honestly. Title IX just says colleges can't discriminate based on sex. It is the Department of Education and their Office of Civil Rights that have given "guidance" that Title IX means colleges should hold these kangaroo courts for sexual assault allegations.

"Preponderance" isn't the only thing that makes student conduct courts unfair. You're not allowed to use a lawyer, the school's definition of sexual assault is much broader than the law's (think "unwanted sexual activity" vs. "forced, non-consensual sex"), and the conduct board is made up of volunteers, meaning they can either be taught to presume guilt by University guidance, or simply presume guilt by the fact that they are college students and professors who already have a bias against accuse…

It focuses on the victim and takes what they call a pro-survivor approach, something that isn’t always the case when dealing with sexual assault, said group member Cecilia MacArthur. “It becomes a very legalistic approach that focuses largely on the perpetrator, on whether they’re guilty.

The Tennessean reports that the unnamed accusers say the system used by public universities across the state is unfair because it provides students accused of sexual assault the right to attorneys and to confront their accusers through cross-examination and an evidentiary hearing in front of an administrative law judge.

I don't think a victim counts as "frightened and weak" when it turns out she lied about sending sexy emails to the accused after he "raped" her, nor is one "frightened and weak" when they gleefully collude with others to take a man down. We saw the same "perfect victim" talk in the Gregory Allen Elliott case. His accuser and her friends were viciously attacking GAE online, and they even lied to the police when they set up a fake twitter account of a minor to talk to him, then told the police GAE…

It is worse in colleges, because it's not even a real trial. No right to call witnesses or cross-examine your accuser, no subpoena power to collect evidence, the conduct board is made up of volunteers, usually feminists, etc. At least in civil court you have a fighting chance, and the repercussions are never jail time. You would only have to pay damages. Still not a great outcome if you are innocent, but you're not rotting for years in jail.

It is an interesting tactic. I guess I have heard of women going on dates with other guys in order to make a guy jealous. Making up gang rapes takes it to a whole new level. I've also heard of girls fake pregnancies in order to get a man to commit, so, lying obviously is not beyond the pale.

I doubt she'll get sued, she has no money. And there are no criminal repercussions, because she didn't lie to the police. She lied to her friends, to the university, and to Erdely, but (not to defend her) none of this would have got to press if Erdely had done her due diligence and actually attempted to verify Jackie's story. So in that sense, Jackie gets off the hook a bit, because Erdely is a professional who took the word of an obvious liar as gospel.

Not a straw argument. I am literally telling you what rape shield statutes were created to get rid of.

If a defendant claimed that a random stranger started blowing him off in the bathroom or took him home after 1 drink, you better believe that the prosecution is going to make it seem very unlikely the supposed victim would ever do that, no matter what the scenario.

An acquittal or dropped charges does not necessarily mean a false accusation. You have to view the crime in a spectrum: at one end, it is obvious that the accuser made up the crime. On the other end, it is clear that the guy raped her. In between, we don't necessarily know that the accuser made it up, or that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It would be inappropriate to call every acquitted case a false accusation, unless the evidence is there that it was a false accusation. Gran…

Are the authors even attorneys? If not, then they don't understand the law. The purpose of rape shield laws are to keep out evidence of the accuser's predilection to have sex, in general. The defense attorney would get her previous sexual partners to testify, because apparently the thought was, if she is slutty then she is more likely to consent to sex. This type of evidence is obviously irrelevant, and rape shield laws rightly keep it out of trial. That is not the same thing as evidence that sh…

That is the problem with the media and their rush to judgment. A guy gets arrested for sexual assault, and the story is "see? we found another rapist, who is definitely guilty." Then it goes to trial and things are not so sure. This rationalization of sending flirty emails and lewd photos afterwards as "dealing with my trauma" I also think is bullshit, most of the time.

She is implying that the entire incident was planned by Fox Sports (maybe it was, idk) and that Stewart-Binks was being used to get a quick sex-gag. Hence, Stewart-Binks is incapable of making her own decisions (she can't say "no" to doing the bit) and obviously a disgusting man (some director at fox sports) must be behind it (i.e., men are still at fault).

Neither woman ever claimed, initially, that she was “raped” by Mr. Assange—rape being våldtäkt in Swedish, but both spoke of the sex being unpleasant. They both concealed their distaste for how it had transpired—that’s usually what women do. I've seen this before. Two different women have consensual sex with a guy who doesn't massage their egos for the mandatory period of time afterwards. They both regret it, then they find out about the other woman. Now they're furious. Hello, police report.

The sad part is that Stewart-Binks didn’t mind being the prop here. And the maddening part is that she doesn’t seem to understand she made us all part of the joke. The author just admitted that women aren't capable of making their own decisions, and when they do something bad it's obviously a man's fault. Aren't these the stereotypes women are fighting against?

Schools are, in essence, establishing new ground rules of sexual engagement.

But punishing people who don’t know that they’re breaking the rules — especially for something as serious as sexual assault — is wrong. It’s a cowardly way for schools to punish men w…

Yeah I agree, alimony for awhile to make the transition but not indefinitely. Honestly she was getting a fuck-ton of money from this guy to maintain her luxurious lifestyle, which shouldn't be required, either. Her alimony should have been more than the bare minimum to keep her alive, but not so much that she is still living like a queen. What is wrong with moving to a small house and driving a modest car?

"Standard of living" is bullshit because it means the ex-wife gets to keep her standard of living, while the ex-husband is driven into poverty.

If the judge rules in Mr. Kloehn’s favor, Murray said that “women would have to be mindful of who they date and for how long they date.” So, his ex has had an exclusive boyfriend for seven years, yet still wants alimony?

To me it depends on who the accuser and accused are. If they are both complete strangers, I really don't have any reason to believe one party over the other.

I certainly hear what you're saying, but from what I've seen feminists have been in their own echo chamber convincing each other to be over-sensitive to relatively minor issues for awhile now. They convince their peers that they were harassed or assaulted when reasonable minds might think otherwise. "Micro-aggressions" are a current example of harassment that may very well just be in someone's head. Anyway, if I got a side-glimpse of someone's wang in the bathroom I doubt I would think the guy i…

I think my major concern would be the potential for allegations of harassment or assault. Say you only have unisex bathrooms at work, and a young woman feels her coworker always goes in the same time she does, uses the urinal, and she thinks she glimpses his penis.

Is there a man hanging out in the bathroom so he can prey on women, or is he just going #2? I am not saying incidents …

And the problem with a gender neutral restroom is that you can't do things with great throughput like adding a urinal trough, because women aren't going to want to go in seeing penis, and guys aren't going to want to have women seeing their penis either. That is very true. Women aren't going to want to see swinging dicks while they're walking by to their stalls. Not to mention the inevitable accusations of "flashing" when a guy glances behind him at a woman walking by.

I remember an article awhile ago by a feminist blaming "architectural sexism" for this problem. However, even if you have an equal number of toilets for women as men have for urinals + toilets, it is still going to take women longer to go.

Yeah, not a surprise. Feminists can't handle it whenever a man is acquitted of sexual assault, as they assume all claims are legitimate. So their goal is to make it nearly impossible for an accused man to defend himself. One way of doing that is broadening the definition of sexual assault to absurd levels.

If the federal government is worried about police departments being incapable of handling rape, why don't they grant money to police departments to improve their sexual assault response, rather than order campuses to act as courts?

Also consider the fact that the Office of Civil Rights has told universities they should be using a lower burden of proof for allegations of sexual assault than they should for other code of conduct violations. So if you are accused of plagiarism, a violation which is probably very clear-cut and not really a heated topic, you get still get tried under a "clear and convincing evidence" burden. But if you get accused of sexual assault, which is a very grave and emotionally stirring crime, you get …

In the US, we had the Office of Civil Rights issue a letter in 2011 saying most colleges should adjudicate rapes and sexual assaults as disciplinary matters, that women shouldn't be required to go to the police, that men aren't allowed to use an attorney, that men shouldn't be allowed to cross-examine his accuser, and that a "preponderance of the evidence" burden of proof should be used. Almost all feminists are on board with this, with the opinion that the 'victim' often doesn't want to go to t…

But the idea of mandatory law enforcement referral has long been met by with skepticism by advocates trying to stop sexual assaults on college campuses. I really hate when I hear that the internal campus adjudicatory system is meant to stop sexual assaults on campus. Their goal is only secondarily preventative, if at all. If feminists really wanted to prevent sexual assaults on campus, there are many ways to do so: strict rules about alcohol consumption, cohabitation, and partying off campus. Of…

It's most likely that feminists want to get rid of accused rapists as easily as possible. Due process doesn't allow this. Of course when you create a system where it is almost guaranteed that an accused male will be expelled, you will have women who accuse men of rape just to get rid of them. And it works. Coupled with that is the reason why feminists don't want mandatory reporting to police: if during their investigation they discover the accuser lied, she can be held criminally responsible. "R…

On the other hand, I don't think we're looking at women volunteering for combat jobs in large numbers. And of those who do, most won't pass muster. The vast majority of women in the military are probably happy to remain in their non-combat positions. Where it may become an issue is if we face another draft. But in that scenario, I think most women will not only try to avoid combat service, but will try to avoid military service altogether.

Honestly, this makes me wonder if this is the reason the sexes had traditionally been separated in the first place.

Aren't the age of consent laws much less stricter in most of Europe? Something like 14-16 I believe.

my guess is, the relatively high age of statutory rape laws were written to keep young men from impregnating teenage girls.

The fact that most of these women waited decades to make their claim is the strongest part of Cosby's defense. I suppose it is possible to be roofied, and then the next day assume you had consensual sex that you don't remember, but unlikely. If Cosby did rape them, he deserves what he gets. But if he didn't a lot of these claims look suspiciously like bandwagoning. Either way I hope it sends a message to women to press charges when the crime occurred, and not wait 30 years then go to the press.

I believe it was Rhode Island where they accidentally decriminalized prostitution for 10 years. During that period of time, rapes and sexual assaults plummeted. That fits with the article's theory that rapes by older people are perpetrated because they're attracted to younger people who don't reciprocate that attraction. If the perpetrator can pay a prostitute instead, he is less likely to try to force someone into a sexual encounter they do not want.

I've said this before, I'll say it again. Enthusiastic consent isn't meant to be workable. It is meant to be a slam dunk for when a woman accuses a man of sexual assault. That is why it presumes a male's consent as a given, and that is why it ignores the remainder of the sexual encounter, where the woman's actions during sex can very well be interpreted as enjoyable and consensual (grinding on the guy, for instance). Feminists are just doing whatever possible to narrow what counts as consent and…

Legally you may be right, but socially feminists have been quietly redefining "harassment" to include any interaction between a man and a woman that wasn't explicitly desired by the woman in the first place. You may not be able to get a man arrested for this today, but he may still be socially shunned if women think he "harassed" someone anyway. And if a jury all thinks this sort of behavior is "harassment," eventually he could be found guilty.

There are women's centers on campus, in addition to crisis counselors, police, even professors, TAs, resident assistants, or sorority members.

The concept of "yes means yes" wasn't created to make consensual sex clear, it was created to allow women to redefine regretted sex as rape, and to make men who thought they had implied consent guilty of rape. It is a "gotcha!" law. Most sexual consent is implied, as people do not ask "may I?" at every step.

I think there is ineffective assistance of counsel. If and when the time comes when custody is at issue he should talk to an attorney in New York about it. It could also be that he would be awarded custody anyway, but that Child Protective Services would fight it due to his conviction.

What screwed him is he was talked into pleading guilty on the domestic violence charge. That is where the real tragedy in situations like his begins: he is facing 7 years in jail if he goes to trial, which he didn't have a good chance of winning because of how biased courts are against men. So, he pleads to 3 months. Now he can never have custody of his daughter.

We point out that a legalistic framing of consent as expressed rather than experienced ultimately centers the needs of would-be rapists over the needs of rape survivors. Yeah...that doesn't work. If you communicate to someone that you've consented, it doesn't matter that you feel the "experience" wasn't consensual. Why? Because the poor dude you had sex with had everyone reason to believe you consented to sex, because you told him so.

The truth of the matter is, if you convince someone to sleep with you, then the sex is not 100% consensual. It’s not necessarily rape, but it is a form of misconduct. Even if someone physically gets on top of you, they are not making the decision freely if something other than their own desires are influencing them. Man, we're all adults.

I rarely see this, but in addition the University's definition of sexual assault is usually much broader and much vaguer than the criminal definition. So while the statute might be "non-consensual sex" or "forced non-consensual sex", the campus will say "unwanted sexual behavior" or something equally vague and nebulous, that makes it easy to call virtually anything sexual assault.

I agree. It's wrong that she was physically attacked (sounds like outside the bar?) and of course it is wrong the the bar staff made mocked her and wouldn't give her ice. I think it's a men's rights issue because the woman is making the leap from "you won't give me ice" to "if you go to this bar you will be raped." Equating every minor slight with an instance of rape is a classic feminist tactic, as is smearing others by accusing them of implicitly condoning rape.

Not made up. The investigation of all rape com- plaints always involves a serious offer to polygraph the complainants and the suspects. Additionally, for a declaration of false charge to be made, the complainant must admit that no rape had occurred. She is the sole agent who can say that the rape charge is false. I agree that polygraph tests can not be accurate, however there is a difference between a tester concluding that someone is lying based on the test, and the claimant admitting they made…

On one blog, Osgoode Hall professor Susan Drummond argues that criminal lawyers not only have a duty to their clients, they also have a larger duty to the justice system as a whole; by whacking the complainant in sexual assault cases, she says, they threaten to bring the entire system into disrepute. In a forthcoming paper called “Whack No More,” University of Windsor professor David Tanovich calls for a change in legal education that will eventually make such defence strategies socially unaccep…

Speaking of evidence, it seems like in a lot of these cases the "rape" occurred at a party, yet there were no witnesses.

The problem with affirmative consent and its variants is it is contrary to normal human behavior. No one asks "may I?" at every step leading to sex. If you want to brand someone a rapist, you can't criminalize normal sexual activity that almost everyone engages in (that is, not asking for a "yes" first, yet still consensually engaging in sex). American Law Institute's model statute faces the same problem. Men reach for women's hands on dates all the time. No one considers this sexual assault. Se…

i think there is more behind the "i was drunk" excuse than just retracting consent. women use it as an excuse to have sex when they know their peers wouldn't approve. "i was drunk" makes it excusable in their eyes. of course if they really want to cover their bases: the sex was horrible, or they're embarrassed they had sex with this person and are ashamed when others find out, they then can proceed to pull the rape card.

Unfortunately this is absolutely the case. If you think what constitutes consent to a sane person in the real world will work for you on campus, you are sorely mistaken. If you don't learn your campuses BS consent rules, you'll find it impossible to defend yourself if an allegation is made against you.

Oh I agree. She looks white, acts white, has a strong British accent. She has blue eyes, for christ's sake. No one on the street would ever suspect she is a minority. But, ironically, she wants the privilege that comes with being a minority on campus. So she pulls the minority card when it suits her. In reality her parents are wealthy, so there's a good chance she had more opportunities in life than a working class, white british male. Yet she claims to be the oppressed one.

No, but I think one reason the letter hasn't been challenged until now is that Universities had absolutely no problem with it. "Tell us we have to be unfair to men accused of sexual assault? Twist my arm, if you must." The letter was basically a feminist/PC dream. If the Universities hadn't been ok with it, they would have fought it, and questions would have been asked a lot sooner.

The truth is that, absent video evidence or complete agreement on the facts between the 2 parties involved, there is absolutely no way to know whether a specific rape allegation is a false accusation, or an actual rape.

So if 1/5 of women should be sexually assaulted on campus, that means 800 women at your school. But you say at most 4 reported. Ok, feminists claim 9/10 victims don't report their assault. if only 1/10th reported, that means the total number of victims should be 40. 40 is not 1/5th of 4000. it's 1/100th. And 4 is 1/1000 of 4000. So... 999/1000 don't report? Or is it more likely that the statistics of sexual assault on campus are totally fabricated? Bueller?

Why I find interesting in this is a lot of her classmates seem to know nothing about feminism. 3 saying Emma Watson is their favorite feminist, 1 saying Shania Twain. I think that goes to show how weak the foundation of feminism actually is: the women (and men) who go along with it because they think it's about empowerment or equality, and don't realize that it actually isn't. Feminism as a movement appears powerful because it is backed by people like this. It really would take very little effor…

men: stop drinking with women then having sex with them. they're going to accuse you of raping them. it doesn't matter if it was consensual, almost always they're going to regret it and get pissed at you.

Same thing happens with sex abuse. Courts can detain you indefinitely, after you've served your sentence, if they think you're still a risk. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/01/14/the-science-of-sex-abuse

I wonder how this will turn out eventually. Someone posted here recently a Florida program for juvenile females, taking into account that a lot of them have horrible family lives. So...juvenile boys don't have bad family lives as well? Misbehavior doesn't happen in a vacuum.

True. The president appoints the head of DoE, and whoever has that position is most likely going to do what the president wants. And the Obama administration has been completely complicit with current Title IX policy. Look under the microscope though, and you have DoE saying this is the way it should be because it is staffed by radfems. They are the "experts" that Obama is listening to. No one listens to use because the opposition tells everyone we are pro-rape, which certainly is not the case.

Colleges should let the police handle it, period. Feminists complain that the police don't take rape claims seriously, and that forcing a woman to go to the police has a "chilling effect." If this is actually a problem, the way to fix it would be to reform the police, not rely on campus kangaroo courts. Though I'm quite certain police can be "insensitive" to these matters because when they find out an accuser lied, they call her on it. There is no such accountability in campus hearings, which ar…

Blame your elected officials, they are the ones who are making it the way it is. Honestly it's not even our elected officials. It's the Department of Education's "interpretation" of Title IX. So we have an un-elected administrative body telling Universities "we think it's discrimination based on sex if colleges don't adjudicate sexual assault claims," and rather than fight it all colleges got on board. Politicians are backing it because they want to look anti-rape, but in reality there is no act…

Not entirely correct. Not all states treat public Universities as administrative agencies. And any college who receives federal funding, whether it be private or public, is subject to Title IX. Where it gets ugly is there actually isn't any law saying "colleges must hold sexual assault hearings," that's just what the Department of Education has interpreted Title IX to require. Colleges have always had their own codes of conduct, however. So you could be expelled for stealing from a classmate or …

At the very least she should have called Jackie's friends to verify what Jackie had told them. She would have realized Jackie's story differed remarkably in each case. And even if Erdely didn't want to contact "the rapist" cause "he'll deny it anyway" and/or Jackie didn't want her to, she should have seen if the guy exists. There was no Haven Monahan, he was completely fabricated. No one by that name went to school at UVA or exists in the U.S. Jackie showed her friends the picture of a guy she w…

They just assume men are guilty, and assume due process gets guilty people off. So just toss them all. It's vindictive revenge for imagined wrongs.

This makes me extremely happy. This is one of the more ridiculous cases I've seen. The guy's roommate was in the room at the time and texted him to keep the sex down. So the fact that there was actually a witness there wasn't good enough. Ridiculous.

why even mention the word "rape" when rape isn't even at issue? Just exchange any pejorative. "I'm not saying that guy was definitely a child molester, BUT..." "I'm not saying that lady definitely killed her husband, BUT..." she's using the word in order to put "rapist" in your mind when you think of this dude's situation and why he gives off a bad vibe. what would be more honest is something like "ok he's extremely socially awkward but absent additional information maybe i shouldn't be accusing…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
