Sexual Harassment and the Loneliness of the Civil Libertarian Feminist -- "The Obama administration, like the administrations of so many colleges and universities, implicitly approaches sexual harassment and sexual violence cases with a presumption of guilt."

"Loneliness of the Civil Libertarian Feminist"... that's awesome. The inherent drama, conflicts, and tragic story almost writes itself.

In the feminist view reflected in the Yale draft complaint, the misogynist rants of some undergraduate men (perhaps a relatively small percentage of them) is not speech. It's a series of "dangerous," "sex-discriminatory threats" that "intimidate" and "terrorize" women, constituting a hostile environment (or "rape culture") that causes sexual violence.

I really like that article. She's got guts and a knife that slices through bullshit.

I am happy someone acknowledged how messed up the University courts are: Duke, Hofstra, GMU Somali student, North Dakota victim of false accuser, College of William and Mary victim of false accuser...the college courts take us back to the times of the court of the star chamber.

Jeezus.

As much as I'm for free speech, these guys are asshats and I agree, they should be expelled to make way for other people who are at university to learn and better themselves.

Just make sure they're replaced by male students.
