Lawsuit Claims College’s Rape Policies Unfairly Target Men

"“The college’s sexual misconduct policy imposes a form of strict liability on male students: if a male and female student are both intoxicated and engage in sexual activity, the male student could face expulsion for violation of the policy without any evidence of coercion, manipulation, force or any additional culpable behavior,” the complaint said."

That is the key issue here - they both:

Drank, but neither supplied the other.
Had consensual sex with each other, except that they were both intoxicated.
Were approximately the same age.

They both did the same exact things. Yet the male is held responsible for rape and she is not. He is expelled and she gets a pass.

In what world is that supposed to be equality? This isn't some abstract case, vague instance, or rare thing - this is codified policy.

I've been waiting to see something like this for some time. I'm going to be following this close. Good luck to him.
